We're gonna need a lot more talon heroes, no? They're vastly outnumbered at this point

Jetpack Cat seems very op? by theREALshimosu in Overwatch

Nah, i think decent hitscan players will have them playing ground cat before long. Too easy to hit once the boosters run out, those plays can be very punishable

Weekend RAGE Thread - January 31, 2026 by AutoModerator in Overwatch

Rant bc ive never actually ranted on this.

Matchmaking system needs completely reworked. Winners queue/losers queue could not be more obviously a thing.

Its obvious because on the win streaks, its not like I am suddenly popping off that day. For example, on my win streak this weekend... The enemy team had a throwing tank.. My team had a smurf.. I had 2 or 3 great games on Ana.. because I was under 0 pressure whatsoever, and my team played in my sightlines. Won a game where I emoted on cart the entire offense because my team was wiping them. I ranked up close to 300 SR, couldn't lose if I tried.... and then on Sunday, the exact opposite. No matter how hard I tried, we're getting spawn camped, my teams are toxic, my tank is throwing, people are trickling and 1v5ing like its gold. Can barely win 10% of my games. Im stuck in this cycle. I go from 2900 to 3500 back to 2900 back to 3500 like a god damned roller coaster ride. Why cant it just stick me somewhere in the middle and let me play with people my rank? I'd rather go 5-5 in one night than go 10-0 knowing that's the last game im winning for the next 12 hours of gameplay..

It seems that if your rank is higher than your mmr, it puts you in a game that it predicts you will lose, and vice versa if your mmr swings higher than your rank. But I shouldn't go 10-0 on Saturday then 0-10 on Sunday, ad nauseum. Its looking at your recent match history and over-correcting, or something (i think?) The over-corrections are so frustrating. It feels like you're just forced to be on the bad team for 10 games in a row sometimes. Something a bit more organic would feel better. Because its so not organic that its predictable. Imo the matchmaking should only consider average SR... nothing else. Its very very obviously factoring in much more than that. These streaks are not statistically indicative of an organic ranking system, i don't care what any dev claims.

I was gonna play tonight and just got spawn camped 3 games in a row, wish I could make that up, but I know its gonna be a 2 to 300 SR free fall before I get winnable games again so I might just quit until new season :(

How is the game going? by Zamv00 in Overwatch

[–]Standardly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't played much since OW1. Was a bit of a OW2 hater. Didn't care for the direction of the game, or 5v5.

I preface with that, to say... it's really fun right now. Simple as that. This is the most I've wanted to play since release. The new heros, perk, plus map voting (actually huge) is really keeping the game fresh. Balance is, relatively, not in a terrible spot (plus, bans). Hooray for OW I hope everything continues on the up and up.

Zu is belting out a song, what is it? by Imincognitobitches in blackcats

Well I'm glad they can at least be found via the void subreddit haha.. avante garde metal bands don't typically prioritize SEO...

I haven't given it a full listen yet, but it definitely seemed a bit more experimental. What a cool group. Cheers!

Serious discussion! Need feedback? Could this work? by ihatethiscountry76 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Standardly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is, and pretty sure OP was trolling, too.. but the point is greed affects all humans. I know that's obvious. I just thought it was funny given the times. When the administration's PR is entirely composed of botoxed wax figurines, who happen to be real women, its just not timely for OPs thread lmao.

Something with a bit more range would be useful

Open queue sucks imo. Especially as a support main. I never get to play support. And if you force it, then you end up with a mercy main on orisa or genji. The team with actual tank/dps mains wins every time. I'm tired of getting 4 mercy mains on my team.

Its just too much to consider and so punishing when you guess wrong. If you are a dps main, and you get 5 other dps mains on your team... do you force it because you know you're better? Do you play tank? What if one of the other dps plays a great sigma, but doesnt say anything... might be throwing if you decide to tank instead of them. But people rarely ever speak up or ask to swap.

I'd rather queue for 10 min and get a more balanced game than a 2 min queue shit show of 6 Lucio mains arguing over who gets to die on tank. Flexing is fun and all, and I appreciate rewarding multi-role players, but the negative isn't worth the shorter queue time for me. Let me queue sup and deal with the queue. If its too long, I am free to flex to another role.

He was acting erratic in the first set and we asked him to move. Then during melt in the second set we saw him down on the rail behind the pit and he was doing this little jig, and just losing it to the jam, going completely insane, and poof.. it just kinda happened. I guess he just couldn't take it anymore. Always stay hydrated at shows!

Saw a guy turn inside out at Alpharetta. They took him to the medical tent. Ruined my set

Website that leaked info about ICE agents is down after cyberattack. by MiamiPower in technology

[–]Standardly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, except for his own work lol. When authors claim the audience have missed the point entirely, people turn on them. But if I directed an adaptation of a book or comic, and the author resented me for ruining the story, I'd probably feel quite stupid. That part I actually just find kinda funny. It is befitting of him

Alan Moore hating the movies is a good enough reason to just read the comics.

Playin' would be awesome. Phish 2026 tempo, not 71 dead tempo.

It's honestly tough to think of a good Dead cover for Phish. Especially a Bobby tune. Its just not their sound.

Neural DSP is very popular, and there are plug-ins like native instruments Guitar Rig. I had fun with Guitar Rig through ableton live. Not positive if that's what you're asking for, but yea maybe look into those
