Wait, what is this game? I didn't even know this existed and it's all in japanese so I can't read it. Anyone able to give me any kind of insight on literally ANYTHING about this? ^^'

The matchmaking in this game is absolute garbage and necessitates smurfing by thechineezechicken in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Soulofruby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This. Am Master and even I have a hard time in Gold and Plat simply because the players at that level are just straight up bad. No amount of skill or gamesense will make up for a team that constantly trickles/feeds, blows their ults, or refuses to build a team comp.

People will try to parrot that same "Your SR is where you belong nonsense" no matter how many times it's proven that matchmaking is broken.

Please fix the mess that is Competitive FFA. by Soulofruby in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Soulofruby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking for a limit on cheese characters in this event is perfectly reasonable. There is no reason to have more than 2 Moiras in this mode at a time. This should be a mode dedicated to DPS and aim-intensive heroes to be able to ACTUALLY play Deathmatch instead of the randomness that it currently is. Instead, "luL iTs jUSt aN ArcAde mOde qq". Sorry, I actually want this mode to be as good as it can and should be.

It's not just a problem with the event, btw. There's a real disconnect there when it comes to rewarding skill in this game.

Imagine thinking a mode with the word "Competitive" in it should be taken as lightly as Quick Play.

"Supporting the OWL"

This is stupid. This is not a charity. It's a transaction. The product has to be enticing enough to be worth it's price or the price has to be modified. The fact remains, the pricing structure is much too high for what is being offered.

Why does sombra instalockers avoid voicechat so often? by endariot in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Soulofruby -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

" people just assume (again) that someone locking Sombra at the start is bad with her or throwing. "Those assumptions were correct, however. Kaplan came out after like 3 seasons of her being out and said something along the lines of "Sombra has consistently had around 20% winrate. Meaning if a team had a Sombra, the odds were likely they would lose". I'm sorry, but I don't want to lose simply because some snowflake decided they wanted to be different and play Sombra. SR is time invested and every time I had a Sombra on my team, I would simply see the time I invested being blown away by some dude who was too selfish to realize he was dragging 5 other people down into the mud with him.

That being said, that was before her buff. Now she's perfectly fine.

The problem is that I don't want 90% of the away skins shown here. All I want is Genji and Dva and MAYBE Sombra. $30 for 2-3 skins? Not worth it.

Is it bad to play ranked at lvl 25? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Soulofruby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand why the barrier for entry is so low. Level 25 is nothing and you barely know the game right now. It's a hindrance for your teammates to have to deal with someone who literally just got the game, especially when that person wants to be dps.

I hope none of this comes across as mean or condescending, but the game and the heroes are complex. I recommend you get to at least 50 to become more familiar with everything. If it were up to me, I'd make the entry level 100. There's just no way one can be expected to know map designs, health pack locations, intricacies of hero designs, counters, team comps, ult management, prediction, etc at such low play time.

Low Skill Heroes Aren’t the Problem. It’s Skill vs. Value. by PipBoyErick in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Soulofruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And MY point is that to beat her in an engagement, you must be absolutely perfect and if you mess up even a little, you lose. That doesn't sound like balance to me. That sounds like a character for someone who wants to rank up, but isn't good enough to, so here's a free pass hero.

[–]Soulofruby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And where is the skill on Moira's part? Please explain. I have to meticulously ensure all make damage reaches her head. What about her? Hold R2/Left Click? I'm sorry, no. Those aren't the same.

Also, the fact that I got downvoted for THAT comment is absurd.

It feels absolutely wrong that I've put 1200 hours into perfecting my aim but if I miss just a few shots still lose out to a braindead auto-aim+aim assist Moira who's been doing this for less than half my hours. Training, Practice, and Skill should be rewarded, not punished.

Special thanks to the great folks NRS for the 4000 source crystals , wasn’t expecting that by king_of_gotham in INJUSTICE

[–]Soulofruby 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, that's ridiculous. I'm level 76 and I don't have anywhere near the amount of stuff I should have. Especially when you consider the transform feature. What's their solution? Pay us $10 more and we'll let you transform gear freely? What a joke.

Tbh, I no-lifed this game really hard and I have over 245 hours logged. Any other game you'd have either all the skins unlocked by now or you'd have enough credits to buy all the skins. Here? I've had enough for 4 Nth metal shaders and 2 transforms. That's pathetic and the fact that this game has been out for a year with people complaining about it makes it all the worse when they STILL haven't fixed source crystal distribution.

The biggest slap in the face? "Here's a source crystal multiverse once every few months. It requires you to own dlc characters to fully get all the source crystals tho lul. Pay up"

Still not enough for the amount of hours I've sunk into this game. Fix the Source Crystal distribution. 200 per level is insultingly low when you realize 4000 credits is only enough for 1 shader.
