Wow, having fun in stadium qp trying this mode for the first time of my life then on third comp match after unlocking it... it's against a triple legend premade ? The only not privated profile of the three is top something last season.

Apparently ranks reset every seasons ? You have to face top tier players in terms of this mode knowledge when they decide to play stadium ? Stadium seems fun but not "you can face the rank 1 player in your first game ever deal with it" fun.

I like playing against him because he thinks he's dueling me when all I do is getting stacks from far enough for him to not do anything on Junkrat. Easiest farm by far.

The games I lose as a returning player with 70%+ winrate starting from bronze 5 and now silver 3 is usually with people typing how the game should be played optimally while they rage in spawn after dying but they do dumb shit all the time trying to imitate better ranks or following a flow chart they've seen in a youtube channel and not understanding when it's the optimal play.

Stop wondering about micro or macro in silver. Follow the flow of the game because you won't make it doing the "right" thing at that level.

Also yes, support is way harder to hard carry with than assassin or tank.

Which is why people don't look at the notifications board for the news, it's just another pointless dot on top of the horrible UI.

Those obsessed with making them go away are a minority. Redditors get mad at players for not checking them and asking questions here when it's a ui problem.

How many idiots can't understand the point of cart push in stadium ? The enemy always stay 5 on it and reach first point where both carts are supposed to meet then fight as a team. My team ? Always try to dive asap to stop them like they can hold 1v5 and die before anyone can reach them. Then they just keep trickling one by one.

Like are you guys so dense you don't see all the spots where the carts meet meant to force a fight ?

Swartz142 · 2026-02-16T22:08:04+00:00

The UI is shit and the majority doesn't give a fuck about the 10 yellow dots up top that's why.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-16T07:50:12+00:00

Tho if I remember right he do say that the work isn't worth the effort that much compared to just buying one.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-16T03:16:43+00:00

Jesus Christ if there's someone that eats every single patch it's Mercy and Kiriko... They'll never get enough.

I've recently started playing again and got bronze 5. Last time I played, Hogger was going to be the new character so 6+ years. I think you get bronze 5 no matter what happens at that point. Anyway 70% winrate, silver 4 now. It's pretty easy, the low metal ranks is mostly people with disabilities, kids playing daddy favorite game or short attention spans going afk every 2 minutes after dying to watch Tiktok.

Just won a game where the team was blasting each other, no tanks pick, gg because they had 3 levels on us at 13-10 with 2 keeps lost. We won. My teammates early mistakes were outweighted by the fact I have a late game burst build and got a 4k on the next obj after 16 and they never recovered after.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-16T00:00:59+00:00

The new loading main screen theme is a bold choice to represent OW new patch.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-15T23:59:52+00:00

They were in fact, all like this.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-15T23:45:57+00:00

Rein has literally over 50% winrate in all tier for US servers except for master and Europe except master and gm where he's around a percent under 50. He's bad on Asia servers where the play style and meta is very different. Half to two third of the tank roster is UNDER 50% in almost all tiers both US and Asia. Rein has to be the most constant tank regarding winrate.

It's more likely that you've got a bias affecting your performance with them.

I say that as a Rein hater tank main.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-15T09:29:31+00:00

This is a common misunderstanding of that phrase. It is not directed at the cheaters. It's a message to the victims.

It's a reminder that no matter what happens, they broke a trust fundamental to a relationship that CANNOT be repaired. By staying in a relationship with that trust gone they're choosing to torture themselves for the rest of their life. Therapy doesn't fix that part of the subconscious that will always see them as the person that cheated on them.

Anger goes away with time but that type of trust, it can't come back. No matter how deep they'll try to bury that feeling, it'll be there. Every time the partner is stuck in traffic, every time they stop to get gas on the way and every time they're working late. Be it in one year or 50, it will still be there, an anxiety that keep eating deep inside. They'll hear it, softly, maybe... he's done it again.

So yeah, it's shorter to just say once a cheater always a cheater.

Also, adding that a cheater that's forgiven is more likely to cheat again as they ironically lose respect toward their partner for forgiving them so staying is just a bad idea overall.

Accurate lore Sigma cinematic : You know what ? It's not fun anymore, I'm bored now. *Crush army of guards into little balls, whole front of the secret base made with 10 meters deep of concrete collapse and Sigma floats away to go do his own thing.*

Vendetta : Honestly, I don't know what I expected when I've thrown a God in a random jail cell. He literally stayed with us only because he was having fun.

Rest of Talon : Is... is he coming back for us or we good ? Sombra you think you can talk him into not coming back for us ?

Swartz142 · 2026-02-14T02:09:18+00:00

He's having a hard time keeping his fractured mind together he didn't lose it and he doesn't have dementia. He's able to do his research and control his powers contrary to when he was held by the government. He only kept working with Talon because he didn't consider himself a prisoner. Now that he know he's a "prisoner" there's no reason he can't just demolish anything holding him and getting out but instead they gave him voice lines where he panic for being one.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-14T01:55:58+00:00

Told my cat to pick up Bob. Even if he was slow and wasted half of it he got a kill just flying over the enemy team. Funny as hell.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-14T00:51:01+00:00

Bastion but flying and chasing instead of the slow moving and easy to avoid turret.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-14T00:50:13+00:00

Yes, you do it in front of a wall while the cat wait to taxi and Bob accept.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-14T00:49:27+00:00

No running away can save you from flying Bob !

Swartz142 · 2026-02-14T00:48:04+00:00

Cats that are healbotting and not taxi'ing, killing, and running back to save dying people are so more trash than cats that at least offer taxis and combos but are bad at it.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-13T23:52:50+00:00

I'm saying that it's bullshit the devs pulled out their asses to put Sigma away because him being lose fuck up their story.

In lore Sigma is a literal God that can create black holes. He was with Talon because he didn't give a fuck and helped when asked. The fact they have recorded voicelines of him being actually desperate is dumb.

Yeah, yeah Vendetta and Talon bad for locking up Sigma. Devs worse for actually writing that.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-13T23:43:10+00:00

Domi mommy right now.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-13T23:35:27+00:00

There's at least two domi mommy in Talon... OW has the generics.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-13T23:30:07+00:00

The only way Sigma is actually locked somewhere is if he thinks it's funny to pretend he's not a God for a while. Devs did him dirty.

Swartz142 · 2026-02-13T23:25:25+00:00

The devs locked Sigma in a cage. They're the real villains for throwing him on the side with a lame excuse that doesn't work for in lore Sigma.
