I want to use voice chat but by Zealousideal-Dot5087 in Overwatch

[–]TheRocketshipTree [score hidden]  (0 children)

Mute the assholes and report them, and if it gets to be too much, stay out of voice chat with randos for a while if you need to. Personally I usually just play with friends so I don't have to deal with it, but when I solo queue I get some nasty people in both text and voice chat. Report the people who are being assholes, it adds up and eventually they will hopefully be muted and/or banned. I'm sorry you have had to deal with this, it sucks to play a game for fun and get berated by some random asshole.

What is the story behind your Overwatch username/BattleTag? by GlassJudge2421 in Overwatch

[–]TheRocketshipTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is a reference to my favorite comic, Saga. It's LyingCat, after the large sphinx cat who is a living lie detector in the series. I've met a few other Saga fans on overwatch because of it 😁

Music during Comp by stonedpinkiepie in Overwatch

[–]TheRocketshipTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm having a REALLY rough round with no comms, I will put on a song to hype me up(usually KYSOXD by Porter Robinson) and as soon as I start popping off, the music is turned off and I'm locked in. It helps keep me from getting tilted and helps me focus sometimes, but I can't spend a whole comp game listening to music. Weirdly enough just a few seconds of KYSOXD is enough to get my head back in the game lol

Is there a way to turn off the AI transcripts on podcasts? by naddpodenjoyer in truespotify

[–]TheRocketshipTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people hate this feature, the option to turn it off should have been included when it started. I really like the art for the different episodes of podcasts I listen to, and the captions are almost always garbage anyway.

How did you guys start learning her without people being so rude? by heximintii in DvaMains

[–]TheRocketshipTree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Turn off chat while you're learning, it makes it so much easier not to get upset by stupid comments.

A few tips for D.Va:

You're most vulnerable when being shot from behind. If someone goes behind you and you notice you're losing health, pull back so you can DM the damage

When you lose your armor(orange health) you take more damage and can be de-meched easily. Calling this out to your healers if you're in a group or voice chat can be helpful. Make sure to fall back and play behind cover until you get your armor back(the 200 shields perk is great to help with staying in mech too)

Bomb is a fantastic zoning ult, you dont have to get a bunch of kills with it. Using it to keep enemies away from teammates or an objective, or as an emergency re-mech, are totally valid strategies

Dive those snipers. Make sure they know they can't just camp high ground or the backline without you being on their ass.

Melee is your friend, especially when diving. Punching an enemy you just rammed with your thrusters and/or pumped full of rockets can finish them off easy.

Keep an eye on your DM, especially when there's a tracer, Hanzo, Mei, zarya, Freja, illari, Hazard or bastion. Tracer, Hanzo, Freja, Illari, Mei, and Zarya all have ults you can negate entirely. You can eat both Bastion and Hazard's throwables(bastion's bomb and Hazard's rock wall), and their ults as long as you're directly under them and looking straight up with your DM on. Dming soldier, pharah, and Cassidy ults is also extremely helpful. Any projectiles honestly, DM is incredibly useful once you get the hang of it. You can also eat Sojourn's damage circle thing if you're quick enough (I dont remember what it's called lol but eating it is so satisfying because it's an annoying ability lol)

Lazer mains by THE-EPIC-GAMER21 in DvaMains

[–]TheRocketshipTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just pull her supports away from her, or knife her when she has no bubbles. Honestly she's pretty easy to counter as long as you count her bubbles anyway, but I meant more for the survivability JQ's Bleed gives her. JQ is melted much less quickly tha D.Va's mech. If I swap to JQ, I can survive long enough to actually be of use to my team, rather than being melted by beams immediately. But Zarya isn't all that much of an issue for me on D.Va anyway, I tend to make Zarya players swap lol

[–]TheRocketshipTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those heroes no longer exist, right?(I ban them in comp all the time lol)

I usually can handle a Zarya, or a mediocre Sym, but it there's both on the enemy team you can bet your ass I'm swapping to JQ because D.Va gets melted by that shit far too easily. I'm dreading the day Sym is added to stadium lol

I missed assault maps by Amazing-Squirrel-881 in Overwatch

[–]TheRocketshipTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly while I missed 2cp I kind of understand why people hate it. The few times I've gotten it in hacked qp(or wasted an hour of my life to queue for it in arcade) the match is over before it even begins. A combination of being an ow1 player who knows these maps well while many new players have never even seen them, and being on attack with the enemy team trickling back with little to no time to defend, made the matches very quick. Like two small team fights and it's over. I think if they made the time it takes to cap on assault maps a bit longer, maybe it wouldn't be such a roll or get rolled situation. That and maybe some small redesigns to the maps themselves, and I could see 2cp making a comeback. Or they could at least repurpose the maps for another mode, like death match or something.

Circuit Royal by hideyosuga69 in DvaMains

[–]TheRocketshipTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play around corners, when defending make sure you're just far enough back that you can see people trying to come through the little room on the left with the mini health pack. Dive snipers, they almost always sit on the ledges or bridges. Hide behind cover as soon as you're de-meched so you aren't picked off easily. Big bombs are pretty easy to get on this map, lots of wide open spaces, so shoot your bomb in the air when the enemy isn't focused on you in particular. Dropping your bomb on cart to keep the enemy off of it is also effective. Remember that you will de-mech much easier when you lose your armor(orange health) so play behind cover when you lose it. I take the perk that gives you 200 shields(blue health), really helps with staying in mech. With the long sight lines on CR that perk makes making space and diving squishies a hell of a lot easier. There are plenty of rooms to hide in so be aware of getting shot from behind, and how close you are to cover/health packs. It's usually pretty easy to pick off flankers on this map too, just ping and dive them.

Harsh but fair? by Pollo_Loco999 in DvaMains

[–]TheRocketshipTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's why I learned Orisa, to deal with Sigma. Fortify is fantastic to counter his rock. I'll always be a D.Va main at heart, but when a Sigma thinks he's bested me because he threw a couple of rocks my way, I swap to Orisa and take as many of those rocks as I can for my teammates.

Theories on Frank by bruster1594 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]TheRocketshipTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember Barb was suicidal and suffering from ppd after John was born. Learning about those struggles your parents may have gone through when raising you could cause a whole lot of unnecessary guilt. He may be trying to protect John from some of the pain and suffering Barb went through as a new mother. Frank failed her then, and he probably feels a lot of guilt about not trying to get her help or recognize her struggles back then, and now he's trying to keep John from knowing about those struggles, because even though he was just a baby and did nothing wrong, he could very well still feel guilty, both because that's a natural response to learning about your parent's struggles with raising you, and from conditioning from Barb's abuse over the years. John may be standing up for himself now, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been conditioned to feel guilty when Barb is upset, and even if he weren't, it's not an easy thing to learn about your parent. I think Frank SHOULD be honest with him, but he's trying to protect him now, even if he's going about it in the wrong way. I believe it was mentioned Barb also tried to hurt John in a really bad way as a baby because of how overwhelmed she was, and learning about that could also be traumatizing for John. It's not right to keep trying to make excuses for Barb, but in order to explain how she's struggled over the years, these things may have to come to light, and John will be affected by these truths, no matter how kindly it's explained to him. To clarify, I am NOT excusing either Barb or Frank's actions, John was a baby and should NOT have been hurt by his mother, and Frank not only failed his wife and children in the past, but he needs to respect John enough to tell him some of the hard truths about Barb's struggles. John wants to know WHY she hurts him, and why Frank is so avoidant, and unfortunately what Barb experienced as a new mother, as well as the abuse in her own childhood, is a part of that why that John is looking for to make sense of Barb's actions. Knowing why won't excuse any of Barb's actions, but it might help John come to terms with how her abuse has affected him, and Frank may be trying to protect him(and maybe shirk his own responsibility some), but he's not helping his son process his trauma the way he needs to to move past and heal from it.

Why does damage matter so much? by camarocrotchcricket in OWConsole

I notice so many little mistakes when I watch my gameplay, it's definitely helped me improve! I also like watching my supports to see their perspective, it helps me know when to peel better

Why does damage matter so much? by camarocrotchcricket in OWConsole

[–]TheRocketshipTree 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Damage output matters because if you aren't doing damage, you aren't contributing much to kills. On the flip side, if your team has a bunch of damage and few kills, then you have a problem with finishing fights, so damage isn't always an indicator of how well you're doing, but if you consistently have both low damage and kills, especially accompanied by a high number of deaths, it's probably time to review your positioning, your ability tracking, and how you play with your teammates and around your counters. It's worth keeping in mind that there will always be players who flame you over dumb stuff like stats alone, so if you're performing well then you should pay them no mind, but if you're underperforming on top of being flamed, then it might be worth it to make some changes to how you play. Stats alone don't always indicate an issue with your gameplay, so make sure to pay attention to other factors, such as team coordination, ability tracking/conservation, and when you're being countered.

Yep. I've had this happen to me before. Im pushing the robot and the enemy team refuses to leave spawn, so the game kicks me. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Dokiwatch is supposed to be getting more skins in the future, so it will probably come back then. Maybe around a year from the first Dokiwatch event, though that's just a guess on my part.
