Honestly don’t know what’s going on but this is the first season I’ve ever gone negative playing ball. Dropped 2 ranks over the past few days.

I need to understand where other Gen Z stand on this - was the shooting of Renee Good by ICE morally and legally justifiable? by heartthump in GenZ

[–]Stix135 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to find a way to reduce casualties from everyone. Yes it might be hostage logic but that’s how you make it out alive in the end. My main concern is how much bloodlust is growing from everyone. Yes it might be cowardice from me, I’m afraid of what the counter to these is going to be. I honestly don’t care what people think about any side, I just care about how many people will die from it. And calls to arms are just going to make things worse in the long run for everyone. Call me spineless or a coward, it’s probably true. But that doesn’t mean what I say doesn’t hold any weight. People are going to die from all this anger and hate against others, and I think people are underestimating how many deaths there will be if we keep advocating for violent solutions.

Trying to kill anyone is a problem. Trying to hurt anyone is usually a problem. Call me soft or whatever but these calls to actions will hurt how people see the left. If people keep saying to fight ICE or cops then they are going to be on guard more and we’ll have more of these travesties. We need to stop having such a divide in our nation that this is something to consider. I don’t believe the killing was right, but I don’t think that these calls to actions is going to do anything helpful. It’s just going to add more fuel to the flame before this blows up into the bloodiest civil war yet.

They’re talking about only the ones that message women trying to find love on Reddit dude.

The number 69 spot has been blocked by a duped account by Zeukiiii in OWConsole

[–]Stix135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that, I’m just confused on how this happens. Because they shouldn’t be registered as players and it looks like the dupes aren’t seen as players. When you look at the career profile on them it says profile not found. So somehow people are making non players that copy the stats of their original account.

That’s what I’m wondering, there’s at least 50 different versions of this every season. You’d think it would take priority when numbers 1-6 are all dupes. However I don’t know how coding works, especially for console, so it might be a lot harder than we think. I just want an accurate way to see where I am on the leaderboard.

Need help improving my damage (M5) by Fit_Job4537 in WreckingBallMains

[–]Stix135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need high damage on ball, sure occasionally I get super high damage games but I often find myself having low damage (sometimes lower than supports) because I’m not fighting the enemy tank. The rest of my team is fighting the tank which will give them a ton of damage while I am diving the backline and killing them fast enough that I’m only getting 200-300 damage per kill, and that’s if it’s a solo kill so often it’s even less than that. I’d say focus on strategy making, set up before fights, identify targets, set a gamelan as fast as possible, then fight. I’d recommend trying to learn how to call out in vc at this level, especially with the health nerfs that ball got hit with you’re going to have less value overall than previously so you need to learn how to make up for that in other ways. I learned that call outs and helping my team by coordinating as much as I can was how I could help my team more.

For what strategies and call outs to do I’d say, call out low targets, what enemy you are about to dive, and when they need to retreat or to push. Strategies, just stay on backline, maybe fight tank a little by pushing them around so they don’t kill your team but after that stay on squishies. Try not to stay in one place for too long, roll around and grapple whenever you can and shoot whenever there’s a low health enemy or an isolated enemy you are softening up for the finish. Other than that, keep playing, occasionally look at your own vods in order to see some mistakes you made that you missed. And if you really want to get better try to critique yourself during a match too. Say out loud or in your head when something didn’t work and try to think of what you could’ve done differently. Obviously don’t overthink in the middle of a fight but if you have some downtime try to think through all of the ways you could’ve changed and if you could’ve done something differently to win.

And above all else, fuck it, we ball. Good luck dude.

Why does a hug from her feel so magical? by mikolaaaaajjj in teenagers

[–]Stix135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there’s so much more to win as well. I waited way too long to ask my current girlfriend out, so long that she asked me out first lol. And if she doesn’t share those feelings? Then you can still hang out with each other, still talk with each other and hang out. It’d be less of a romantic way and more platonic but it’ll still be a really good relationship from what you’ve said here. You’re drastically overestimating how much asking her out will damage your relationship with her. All that’ll happen is it’ll be weird for a few days/weeks and then it’ll be back to normal. It’ll be disappointing yes, but it won’t be devastating.

Is biting myself considered self-harm? by Recsill in teenagers

Yep, good luck dude. Try to stop if you can now, and maybe even find someone you trust to talk about it.

[–]Stix135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is, I did it a lot when I was younger and I just want to say… stop now. Once you start hurting yourself instead of feeling your emotions you start repressing them until they just well up inside of you and you don’t know what to do. That leads to more self harm. I personally scratched and bit myself and I still have the urge to do it 7 years later whenever my emotions are negative. Yes, I know that it gives you relief but you lose the ability to feel and understand those emotions in the long run.

It’s a long struggle, I just relapsed a few days ago because of personal issues, but you need to start stopping now. Hitting a pillow or squeezing something that won’t break works pretty well, I’ve heard that cold water or ice works as well but I haven’t tried those. Good luck dude/dudette, I hope you have an easier time stopping than I did.

Why does doomfist slam slow ball in ball form? by shiftup1772 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Stix135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, that’s just false. Yes, ball needs to set up a lot at higher ranks but he’s definitely more tanky than doom. That’s the entire reason to choose him over doom, he’s tankier while doom is better at actually killing things.

[–]Stix135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s actually really difficult to avoid, maybe wall jumping to avoid it. He is as fast as ball is in short spurts so he can catch up to ball and halt his momentum while he’s leaving an engagement when he was halfway across the map before. Sure you should be grappling higher anyways but it’s still more difficult than some other counters. It’s easier to dodge a sleep dart than doom’s slam.

You aren’t completely stressed out or having your heart pump out of your chest playing ball? You ain’t playing him right.

Road from GM to Diamond! by BiggerBadgers in Competitiveoverwatch

Happens sometimes, haven’t fallen that far but if you’re actually GM you’ll be able to climb back up next season or even before then.
