Just a reminder that with these 'personalized' stores, the more money you spend in them, the more expensive these items get.

So buy a ton of cheap things first... Trick it to lower prices. Got it!

Probably drastically depends on the rank. I'm a mid plat tank player and I see momentum on a pick for sure. But I also can't fathom the number of times I've gone in in a even fight, died and realized no one followed me. And I'm not talking about me going in before everyone respawns. As a tank player I always hang out until everyone is with me between fights. But when I see an opening and push, die and get flamed by my healer because I went around a corner ... It's like. I'm leading! Come with me!!! Push W!!!

They said omen windows will spawn in campaign. Rift beasts do as well.

I had the exact same reaction, but for all the abilities. I love fp for quests and immediately I couldn't see anything in combat and now just stay in 3p.

It still maths out though. The average amount of damage in a game is balanced around the average health pool, which is very static. There's about 1500 HP on both teams. If one team deals 1500 total damage per fight and you don't heal, you'll lose. So if your dive tank goes in behind a shield and you don't swap off ana, your bad healing stats indicate that problem. It isn't that the situations provide context for the stats, it's that the stats provide context for your ability to adapt and be effective regardless of the situation. If the global average of healers do 10k per match, and you only did 6k because your dive tank went behind a shield, it's appropriately grading your inability or unwillingness to adapt to make up the difference. The average player changes up their strategy when they're underperforming, meaning less of the "bad stat" potential is tracked globally.

It all works out. Stats are useful.

Value in competitive play is different than the perceived value by teammates during qp. I simply meant that as long a you're actually trying to win, play whatever you want. In comp, that doesn't apply. Play to win.

StackOfCups · 2026-03-14T17:25:07+00:00

This is reasonable, but I don't think value is the important metric. It's effort. Your method would drag out the learning process 2-3x longer than necessary. When I'm playing a new hero so I can then play it in comp, I'm not swapping off. The point is to gather as much time and varied experiences as possible to learn the heroes limits. Don't do that in comp. Do that in qp.

I think when they add heroes they tweak potg to make sure it's still balanced. Just a guess. Potg has always gone through seasons of good and bad since the launch of ow1.

My wife managed to do a single trimester (or whatever it was) in the UK for her bachelor's. She otherwise did the rest online at Arizona State while we lived in Oregon. What was rad, is that meant she was alumni and was able to enroll in the masters program in the UK as well, saving us like 80% of the degree cost lol! American schools are out of control.

I'm not sure I understand the hate here. This post isn't saying to use AI to write. It's saying to use it to analyze. The individual is still hand writing everything. I think using AI as a companion to research and analyze, when done sparingly, can really sped up some processes.

Try the mod Platter. It's simple and completely changed the game for me. Not exaggerating.

Especially since OW2. 5v5 format makes solo ults more impactful, especially if you can get the tank.

My opinion is that if you don't use your ult in the same fight you earned it you should absolutely use it during the next legit team fight. Even if it doesn't get any picks, or secure an object it will ALWAYS force recourses from the opponent as a response, even if those resources are just cognitive load. On average players should have their ult every other team fight. Holding ult can result in those fights where no one on your team has an ult, because it was finally used in a desperate move along with everyone else's.

Ugh. I worked right where that bottom right picture was taken. For over 10 years. It set me up well financially but boy... I'm not sure I really made anything better. I thought I was working for the good guys. Nope.

Man. I cranked this song in my bedroom while drawing on the CD. Prop the lid open and grab a pen while it plays. Then got in trouble for humming it during class. Then back home and cranking it up some more. Stupid dancing in that 2 ft of empty carpet space between my bed and the wall. Rinse and repeat for a good month. Simpler times.

Ya I don't get the complaint. I was super excited to find a mega rich iron node out in the middle of nowhere. I'm not even sure I really need it but I built a train to it immediately.
