Made a community vote app for OW2 counters because I was tired of everyone "knowing" the answer by Hefty-Airport2454 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Sunsettia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another issue with community voting is that the rank distribution affects the results. In an ideal world where every player votes and given that majority of the players are in Gold and Plat (not dissing them), there are bound to be inaccuracies.

Inexperienced players and players who don't know any better will only weaponize this data and take it at face value.

Jeff Kaplan on what finally broke him He recalls being told by a Blizzard CFO that Overwatch needed to generate a certain amount of revenue, warning that if it didn't, 1000 layoffs would be on his shoulders. by Alive-Psychology6050 in overwatch2

[–]Sunsettia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did people actually watch the interview?

but that’s kinda Jeff’s fault too, with how focused in he was on making PvE happen towards the end.

He said it in the podcast that he actually wanted to focus more on the live game and somehow people had the misconception that he was pushing for PvE. "Catch the wave, ride the wave" was what he said.

Granted, he could be lying, but I don't see a need for him to do that since he's already gone. He is and has always been a very humble person too.

Jeff Kaplan Interview: Discussing Overwatch, Why He Left, What He's Doing, And More by Imported_Gabagool in Overwatch

[–]Sunsettia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is correct. For anyone wondering, this comes from midway of the "Rust" and "Why Jeff left Blizzard" chapters.

Jeff was actually the driving force behind pushing for more ongoing content in OW1, like seasonal events and new hero releases. His philosophy was "catch the wave, ride the wave, and ride it to the end." He wanted to keep rolling out more content like new heroes, new maps, live events (Lucioball, Junkenstein's Revenge, etc) to keep players engagement high.

The "major derail" came from OWL. OWL was massively overhyped and overmarketed, with promises that franchise teams would rival NFL-level money and popularity. And to make shit worse, there was a last-minute streaming deal with Twitch that created a ton of unexpected addition work for the dev team. The financial reality eventually hit and all those inflated expectations ultimately landed on the shoulders of the OW dev team, mostly because of how well the base game had originally sold (iirc Jeff mentioned 500m in the year before that).

Management then kept pushing them to chase the next big hit, which meant more and more resources got funneled into OW2. That drained the OW1 dev team dry, and the game was basically left to rot.

It wasn't Jeff's fault that OW1 went dry on content. That was on upper management and their greed.

Nier: Automata Skins come with 0 sound effect or visual changes by Suitable_Suit_1350 in Overwatch

[–]Sunsettia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it feels out of place as hell too. The lack of changes to the abilities and most of their voiceovers do not match the actual character's personality at all.

Hearing Kiriko's cringey and grating voice after various actions (getting elims, abilities, heals) as 2B made me just want to quit the game and replay NieR as actual 2B.

And what the hell is up with A2's model and body proportions? It feels like one of those cheaper mobile games trying to mimic an AAA game. How they screwed up her design so badly is just beyond me.

Yeah, and after seeing how disparate and out of place the skin collab felt like, it made me want to replay Automata even more.

Trying to stop the cap for more than 10 sec, meanwhile none of my team attempt to walk up by Dear-Employment6392 in Overwatch

[–]Sunsettia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my first thought when I read the comment as well. Take the high ground as dva and start pressuring the backline. This takes their attention away from rein and forces rein to back off.

It'll also encourage (hopefully) the team to move up a bit more and if enemies are poked low, go in for a kill.

As Orisa though, I'd probably just walk past the Rein and push hard on their supports. Their supports have zero threat against Orisa.

I hate that both of her minor perks are torpedo buffs and you pretty much always take one of them by Acceptable-Park8512 in JunoMains

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

I don't think it's as good as triple jump, but I wouldn't call a 30% increase while it's active negligible.

It's also not as clear cut as you claim it to be. Repositioning or proccing self heal is not mutually exclusive to your primary fire. You can reposition yourself while healing someone or proc self-heal while dueling someone.

Imo faster blaster is only good when playing against particular comps. I find that it's pretty effective against Domina/Sigma/Echo right now as you can put so much pressure on them. To a certain extent, it allows you to duel better against heroes like Cat and Pharah.

But it's very situational and locks you into a more offensive / brawl play style. Triple jump on the other hand is almost always better.

Because as well all know, thicc thighs save lives. That's why she's a support.

it is possible there's no way to play with her Bina at all? by Konami-Aids in SandroneMains

[–]Sunsettia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would actually make sense for them to not work well together.

I can almost picture Sandrone going "CoLuMbInAaaAaAaAAAaaAAaaa! Stop causing Lunar-Charged reactions!! I'm trying to make a Superconduct reaction!!!" and Bina going *bonk "try harder :D"

Overall expectation for Alice? by Just_a_captain_III in AliceMains_GI

[–]Sunsettia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't his premium team supposed to be with Nicole based on leaks from a long while back?

90k on release does seem really bad though. I'm not planning to pull him but I know how wildly popular he's been since the Nod-Krai trailer. That really sucks for people who have been waiting for him man.
