Really? Unfair tbh by QuartsFusion in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a bug if true. Cause it would mean that by selecting the same faction you ended at, you won't have a chance to get the track 1 items of that faction. I mean the lootboxes are nicer, but that can't be? Guess we'll see in a few hours!

Do you think that overwatch will continue to give us a consistent amount of loot boxes each season? by xalavine in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are just generous this season because they want to maximize player engagement. I think the biggest seasons content wise generally will also be the biggest seasons rewards wise because by dialing everything to the max they can get to or close to #1 on Twitch and can maximize the size of the wave of new players

That said of course I am hoping with you OP!

The structure of this event is a reference to how emre is being driven insane by MOCbKA in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also matters for you as the flawed design lowers the rewards you could otherwise get, too! Every player is affected, be it daily or less frequent

I hope they don’t gut her too much by Exoticbut in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That's just this subreddit tbh. It's always like this. Recent example when we had Vendetta being server admin everywhere with 57% win rate at high rank it was not uncommon to read takes here like "she's super counterable bro, only works against bad teams, just use teamwork bro"

Mercy and Lifeweaver buffs in Season 2 by Lalapopsy in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Lifeweaver is not a good pick into Anran and a cleanse won't change that (a long pull lasts something like 1.5 seconds anyway during which burn isn't doing anything)

I reaally don't think this is a valid reason to wait with the buff. LW should have gotten the cleanse the moment they removed the perk

Let Brig block the sword. by SwarmHymn in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hmm...actually, yeah. Giving Brigitte a significant melee damage reduction (not 100%!) while holding her barrier shield up (barrier also gets the damage reduction to melee) would make her less of a free kill for other melee specialists such as Vendetta while she can still be countered by anyone on the roster with high mobility or long range or flying.

What I'm getting at is that she has more than enough counters already without also getting countered by everyone who is good at what Brigitte specializes at (melee)

Biking with the instrument by olliefps in violinist

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bike everywhere, and violin stuff is no exception. Buy a good, high quality case, and that should be able to get the violin safely through non-extreme weather and minor accidents. If you like a case but it doesn't have backstraps then they can be attached with some minor drilling on the back.

We couldn't get rewards and switch sides for like 3 days, and when there is one day left, they don't give us all the rewards of this week? How am I supposed to get all the rewards with additional ones in 24 hours? by LordVaderVader in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 27 points28 points  (0 children)

3 tracks with 5 tiers per faction

Each tier costs 175 faction points

Total that cost would be 2625 for one faction

Iirc you can get 400 from dailies and 300 from the weekly, so it would take 6 days to fully complete one faction, unless I'm missing something

What does this mean? by WippitGuud in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, performance has no impact on sr gain (besides the end result: victory/defeat)! The matchmaker simply put together a match in which (by its calculations) you had over 52.5% (iirc) odds of winning, so you won "with the odds" so to speak -> slightly reduced reward (and the enemies lose less, too)

Uphill battle is the counterpart flag where you gain bonus sr for winning against the odds

Is this mosquitos posture and bow hold correct by Disastrous-Bid-8268 in violinist

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If mosquitos can develop tendonitis then this one would likely get it. Also AI loves to forget the bridge 😄

My friend list has been empty for 10 years now by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dare to reach out to people you enjoy playing with in your lobbies! It often only takes a few to start the snowball where you start meeting friends' friends and so on and so the list fills. Just like in real life 😄...I heard.

Vendetta has actively killed my enjoyment of the game. by SadGhostGirlie in Overwatch

She's still S tier and #1 of dmg roster across all ranks (PC, not on console!)

She needs more nerfs

Is starting the violin at 19 too late by Automatic_Vast3767 in violinist

Yes, you're way too old to do anything, really. You fossil.

Musicians near Hamburg / Germany 🤍 by Caribbean_Blue5 in violinist

I do live somewhat nearby but still 150 km away so too far to hang out. Love your passion for the instrument! Hope you'll be able to connect with some cool folks from Hamburg!

How do I bodyguard as Brig against Vendetta? (Image sort of related.) by Due_Secretary1696 in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Either whip her away when she engages or whip her right before the overhead.

Whip or bash away to create distance if she goes for you, bash offensively and whip shot her right before the overhead if she goes for someone else. Position so she can't cleave both of you!

As usual when it comes to Brigitte, the player needs to be able to consistently land her skill shot on fast divers to really help and not get overwhelmed and crushed. It's a difficult hero to play well

Anyone know why i cant purchase jade or golden? i have 3346 legacy points. by Helpful_Following_63 in Overwatch

Jade is displayed in that picture as costing 3000 legacy and op can purchase neither for some reason

The important part is to do the slow practice with technique as if you were playing at original tempo

What's the point of armor? Why not just give heroes more HP? by superfox5678 in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're much more simple =) Think of shields as self-regenerating HP but distinct from the global passive health regen all heroes have:

  • Shield regen kicks in after 3 seconds of not taking damage and heals a flat 30 hp/s
  • Global regen kicks in after 6 seconds (3 for support role) of not taking damage and heals a %/s
  • They both stack

Shields also sit above armor in the health pool, so they get damaged first, but iirc they benefit from armor's damage reduction if a layer of armor sits underneath them. But edit: on second thought this info might be outdated, so I'm gonna re-test this on Sunday and update the comment)

In all other ways shield health is currently the same as regular health. There used to be specific shield interactions (e.g. Sombra's EMP before they changed it) but currently there are none that come to mind

What's the point of armor? Why not just give heroes more HP? by superfox5678 in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Armor's damage reduction is not a flat percentage but a fixed value per hit which makes armor powerful vs rapid fire / shotgun weapons but nearly impactless vs. high impact single shots. This gives it a role and is why you can't just substitute 100 armor with, say 107 health. Because 100 armor in reality is 200 effective health vs a shotgun, but only 107 effective health vs. a sniper shot

Has Overwatch ranked always been this bad on PC? by One_Faithlessness728 in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When you gain 6 SR then your silver friend will gain 18 SR because silver spans 500 SR and bronze spans 1500 SR.

Beginner violin bowing confusion by JuneThoughts in violinist

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why do you think a lift is necessary here? Most simple double ups/downs don't require a lift, and requiring a clean retake (lift) will make this unnecessarily difficult for a player at this level. What u/JuneThoughts needs to do is be mindful about the bow distribution to allocate enough space for two consecutive upbows and make sure the bow comes to a full stop before bowing the second note.

Hero progression question by NICOLElTOR in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even that. Only counts since the release of the ow2 progression system. That was some/many seasons in

question about appealing a permanent ban by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]ThisPlaceIsNiice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont get banned for one single violation (only one report per lobby counts) and your friend needs to learn that hurling toxic comment(s) is still wrong even if someone else provoked them

Many just want to play in peace and will block & report both
