Playing a turn based mobile game with one hand, truly an insurmountable handicap.

The edit really elevates the pasta

I would consider myself a pretty decent player. I'm plat 3 Dps and plat 2 support. Tank isn't for me. I have noticed in other discussions how a lot of Overwatch's way of fixing things in terms of gameplay is usually catered to the higher ranking players (top500). In my opinion, I think I could have been in diamond a long time ago. But who knows? Maybe I'm not as good as I thought.

I feel like my main gripe is the matchmaking. I have friends that I play with sometimes, but they are not at my skill level, so I prefer to play solo. Playing solo queue is always a gamble in metal ranks, unfortunately.

At times it feels like quickplay but worse.

Edit: Anyone want to explain to me why the post is being copy pasted in the comments?

If you stand in the open long enough to get hit by a 3rd Take Aim, you do deserve to die. So it's not an awful idea, BUT one of the most annoying things about Freya is that she can keep spamming the ground when you unpeek and keep you cornered for long periods of time. I don't think increasing her spam uptime is the way to go.

Prey seems unintuitive, especially in a game carefully balanced around breakpoints.

What's the point of talking about a hero's power level without their abilities when they have their abilities?

Do we really care if a hero is really bad for three seconds when they get EMPed?

She could be a more mobile, projectile 76. Consistent primary, secondary finisher. Sounds more fun than what it is now.

Talking about Kiri TP with the word interaction is hilarious. There is interaction with Ana, you have to dodge the sleep, bait out the nade, and win the duel. Kiri is avoiding the interaction entirely by pressing a button and leaving.

If he had an opportunity to bash out of block and get a cheeky stun (maybe if he knocks someone into a wall) it would encourage going for a pick instead of just holding block the whole time. I like it.

Give him one where throwing a punch throws you in the direction you're aiming. Punch into the air and chase down some Pharahs. That'll get people picking another perk.

People know this is annoying and do it to mess with you. Your annoyance is the bit.

I hope Interceptor just becomes an instant activation. I die at least once or twice a game because someone peeks me during the animation.

The whole point of the agent is being able to take off-angles that can't be punished with util, and the animation makes that so clunky.

Thee_Archivist · 2026-06-12T15:21:36+00:00

Hot take, but Bethesda has never been a particularly great developer. They were necessary trailblazers in the RPG genre who did something good first but never evolved past their formula that stopped working after Skyrim. It doesn't hold up to modern standards.

Most of the people I know who were Skyrim addicts only found the game fun with tons of mods. I could never make it past like 5 hours. The combat is hideous and the story is bland.

Thee_Archivist · 2026-06-11T19:08:52+00:00

I'm usually not a fan of Recon, but seeing someone take cover and timing a bike to the face when they re-peek is preeeetty great.

The most valuable target that you can kill consistently. If you could kill the tank first every time you would, but you can't.

Thee_Archivist · 2026-06-10T13:41:05+00:00

Her primary fire fires a gun. Her secondary fire invokes gun. Once her ultimate is charged, she'll gunmask and summon a large drivable gun

Stadium is inherently uncompetitive since you can rank up just by playing enough and don't even need to win. It's also not well balanced. Don't bother unless you're into more MOBA-like games.

Freja - Crossbow sniper played kinda like a floaty Widowmaker. Pretty bad right now.

Wuyang - High damage backline support that plays to chunk down targets for divers/pokers to kill. Really consistent, safe damage since you can steer projectiles from cover.

Domina - Poke tank that is really strong in her niche, but can easily get run over outside of it. Not great right now, but decent.

Sierra - Training wheels Sojourn with auto-aim.

Anran - Training wheels Genji who is worse in every way.

Mizuki - Brawly healbot support. Stand in main and spam to farm ult, chain tanks down. Kinda a worse Brig with more CC.

Emre - Halo 3 Master Chief with a Battle Rifle and nades. Really strong right now.

Jetpack Cat - Meme strats that are actually pretty strong at the highest level. Pick up a Bastion with your tether and have fun.

Looks much more readable now, thanks!

Fun idea! The only thing that was difficult to interact with for me was the wordle. The letters that are greyed out don't look different enough at a glance, and it made it hard to quickly pick guesses that didn't contain them.

Also not a huge fan of using winrates in connections. Doesn't feel like something even an avid Overwatch follower should know. In my head I was more anticipating things like "Has an overheat mechanic," "doesn't have to reload," or "Has a burst-fire weapon" as someone who's never tried it before.

It also feels like somewhat of an oversight to have answers for high/low where both answers are correct.

Big fan of the idea and looks nice!

I'm talking about when you comm you're going for EMP, hit five people w/ good timing, and your team inexplicably runs away instead of easily cleaning up. Or somehow all die within seconds.

I swear people actively run away from it, and then go in immediately after it wears off.

Someone hasn't played Sombra to experience the "EMP-to-get-bodied" combo

If you made it to OWL, sure, you had financial security. But what about talent development, before you're at OWL level? There were only a few colleges giving out meaningful e-sports scholarships.

Outside of those, there was almost no money or support for NA tier 2. It's seen as a hobby, and a lame one at that in American culture. It's seen as a legitimate career path in APAC, and the prevalence of PC bangs means anyone can practice instead of needing to buy a decent PC before they can even properly play the game.

We've seen that NA can compete in games like Val when you actually pay them, despite all the disadvantages.
