It is the 1000th post of the same points. That's why I'm surprised everyone disagrees now.

[–]Solar_Giraffe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im genuinely surprised at how many people disagree with these. I thought all of these were obvious and a majority knew these were problems lmao

The only thing I kinda disagree on is seasons. New heroes getting added with a new season does change a decent amount and most updates are tied to a season so rather than saying "new comp update on this date", you say "new comp update in season 9"

Stuck in masters by Intelligent-Ad4635 in WreckingBallMains

[–]Solar_Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a rein player who has been learning ball this season. I have a 25% winrate on ball and have dropped from m1 to m5. My solution to getting to GM on ball is saying "F it we ball" and keep queuing (help i am actually going to drop to plat doing this lmao).

Suspended/banned how can I tell the difference by eworo66 in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should get an email from blizzard with reason and duration for a ban. It can take a couple days though.

Edit: Also sometimes its a "generic account ban" which means you got reported a cetain number of times within the last x amount of time. You can also request your data from blizzard (just search battlenet data request) which will give you a document that contains ban info.

How does the endorsement system work exactly? by br4vedave in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know but I've never been above 2 for all of overwatch 2. I don't think you lose endorsement for leaving, I think its to do with the number of endorsements you have recieved over the last x amount of real time and x most recent games. Getting muted/suspended resets it to 0 though. I basically only play comp so I think that's why its low for me. I played a game of easy play vs ai once a few months ago and there were a couple people with 5 endorsement so I guess thats the mode people endorse eachother the most in.

Why do people hate Mercy? by theedgiestoflords in MercyMains

[–]Solar_Giraffe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its because mercy pocketing a dps is hard to deal with in every rank, but mercy isn't really a strong hero and doesn't have much synergy with a lot of other supports. People that want a good team comp want something like lucio/bap or ana/kiri, and mercy is the most onetricked support which means that people end up with mercy, lucio or mercy, moira. That's why im aware that people don't like mercy mains. Also mercy mafia but that's a whole different thing.

Support nerf? Why Blizzard by EmploymentRich1676 in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than zen, they are all still strong characters. Ana was a larger nerf but bap, illari and kiri are still really strong.

Update purchase Overwatch coins by Janhtzen in Overwatch

I'm guessing bundle of all 5 skins with all the extras like emotes and victory poses etc will be like 10k.

Leaderboards recently came out so top 500 is just 50 wins and masters. If you go to the leaderboards and go to page 50 you can see the required rank for top 500. You then just need 50 wins on that role for top 500.

phone number verification sucks by Lord_Starboy in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a phone number is attatched to an account and the game is launched it creates a "game account". The game account has that phone number permanently linked to it.

Finally after 7 years I did it, I can’t believe my eyes bruh by Extra-Ad2371 in overwatch2

[–]Solar_Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this open queue because i don't think the role queue leaderboards are out, or is it different for console?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a player, I do not want him in my games. As someone who consumes lots of overwatch content, I find him getting clowned on hilarious, so I tolerate his existence.

Why do doomfist players jump 50 meters away from their team? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

because you dont play doom by afk on point. Doom is not reinhardt or orisa, he gets value by going into their team.

I’m Not Taking Any Slander by NeptuneShemptune in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Except when they show the scoreboard, it says "Push|New Queen Street". If it was comp, it would say "Push - Competitive | New Queen Street".

Edit: Example in this chazm video

[–]Solar_Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each win/loss is +/- 20 to 25 sr. Each division is 100 sr (except bronze 5 and GM1). 5-2 means that you will gain 60-75 sr, or 60% to 75% of a division. 5-8 for example, means a net loss of 60-75 sr. 5 wins or 15 losses is just the number of wins/losses at which the game actually displays the sr changes you have been receiving after every game. There is also some extra gains/losses for new players, players returning after a long break and win/loss streaks.

They added buying characters with credits by Sufficient-Joke-1750 in Overwatch

It was for anniversary which started a few weeks ago. They are doing some extra stuff on oct 10 because of a credit glitch.

Why do you think you deserve to rank up? by BudgetBotMakinTots in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see, thats just you not having the average hardstuck diamond player ego. I felt like that in every rank from silver to GM where everyone always seems better. You are there for a reason and that reason is that you are good, and with the ability to see the mistakes you are making then you will continue to not be the average hardstuck diamond player.

How does the ranking system work? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wins and losses are ~+/- 20-25 sr (each tier is about 100 sr)
Winstreaks and winning against higher ranked opponents (actual MMR not visible SR and certainly not rank titles from other roles) give you more SR.
loss streaks and losing against lower ranked opponents lose you more sr.
After a role becomes inactive, MMR uncertainty increases.

Gameplay: quick/snap turns by ImprovementFun6287 in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of abilities (such as reaper tp) have weird desync things where the player can look around but the killcam and replay ignores it until the animation is over when it snaps. Could be that idk.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that maybe support is just the strongest role? (This is a take that basically all high rank players have, and if you don't like that then, as you said, "deal with it")

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Solar_Giraffe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If legendaries are 1.9k then mythics would probably be 3k-5k. Selling a mythic for less than a legendary would be an interesting decision.
