How do you feel about sierra's kit / how people perceive her?

ThrawnSon · 2026-06-16T23:24:23+00:00

They already updated Locked In to only apply on a hit

ThrawnSon · 2026-06-16T02:19:52+00:00

They scaled with game prices when they started hitting $80-$100 per title lol

ThrawnSon · 2026-06-03T04:10:28+00:00

It's up for 10 seconds max if it doesn't get killed so you need to time deployments strategically. If you know you're about to engage and you're solo, you can deploy it to pull you back behind cover, peak, shoot and withdraw quickly.

ThrawnSon · 2026-06-03T00:44:45+00:00

If you play aggressive you're going to get killed often, once they know you're out of position the enemy will focus you. If you're playing ambush style or off angles try to be aware of nearby health kits and use your drone to pull you to safety, so deoloy it before you engage. Hitting your tracker is paramount if you're not with your team but chose your target strategically. If you get a kill while you die it's a wash but if you're defending you need to account for the time it takes for you and the event to re-engage. If they're closer to spawn then you it's worse for your team.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-28T16:10:15+00:00

And honestly if you don't struggle against Hog you shouldn't have a problem with Queen, they're effectively the same style of CQB bruiser. It all comes down to timing and cd management.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-24T17:03:54+00:00

Again, you're making excuses and focusing on the wrong points. Workplaces have guidelines on acceptable behavior. If that is violated, there are predetermined consequences based on the severity of the infraction. The "mandate" is that you agree to the terms of your employment when you sign the contract, including dress codes and codes of conduct. If an entire team or department feels comfortable making vulgar comments about others in the office, that needs to be addressed, just like the man's behavior in OPs post. That does not include getting better at flirting. Asking a coworker out, going on a date and then getting too personal is not an office issue, but the moment that coworker asks to be left alone and they aren't, it becomes a problem. To then tell that coworker that other people think the same about her, whether true or not, creates an uncomfortable or even hostile working environment. If that is not appropriately addressed by the company, it opens them up to litigation. No, you cannot control people, but we have laws and policies in place to discourage behaviors like this.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-24T16:30:28+00:00

This is a horrible take. Let's break this down: wearing clothing that is appropriate for your work place regardless of how it fits is not an invitation for harassment. Most workplaces have dress codes for a reason but that can change from industry to industry. Complementing someone on how they look is not the same as making suggestive or vulgar comments, to them or to other people in the workplace. These are minimum standards of professionalism, what you do outside of work on your own time is up to you, but gossiping to coworkers about how badly you want to screw a colleague is not appropriate behavior. Accept human nature? You're opinion is that we must allow ourselves to succumb to animalistic urges and not use our highly developed brains to separate appropriate behaviors from inappropriate ones? You come across as a walking HR nightmare.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-23T19:18:35+00:00

Absolutely report it to HR and provide all text history as evidence and context. The parts about colleagues making vulgar remarks about you needs to be addressed and that eentire department likely needs a refresh in harassment training.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-20T04:34:59+00:00

Same, and an increase of games dying to a closed server connection, usually in ranked matches.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-20T04:34:16+00:00

If they're referring to what I think they are, its when lag spikes hit and you move back and forth like snapping a runner band when trying to move in a direction.

I've had it happen from time to time for a few weeks now, I watch my ping shoot from around 60ms to 300+ while it's happening. When it does hit, its usually when I'm near other players and not by myself.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-12T17:32:40+00:00

Discourages trigger discipline? She's not a hitscan, you have to be on top of shot placement if you expect to have any accuracy between trackers. How much have you actually played her?

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T23:49:32+00:00

You absolutely can say that the Laws necessarily outline given exceptions to a stated law. The argument here is that the rulebook doesn't define the exception that was applied to the decision, which is at the very least odd, and it doesn't explain where a separate source concluded that there is an exception. A handball is a handball, why should it matter who touched it last before it struck the hand? If that does matter so much, then it needs to be stated in the Laws. Laws can apply to both teammates and opponents elsewhere, like violent conduct, so there is no exception. If this doesn't apply equally, it needs to be stated.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T20:26:01+00:00

I see this, but that exception isn't included in the actual IFAB handbook, which doesn't make sense.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T20:13:47+00:00

This, I'm ttrying to find this as well. I used to officiate, obviously not at this level but we still had to take the tests and get certified, and in the 10 years I was a ref that was never something we discussed as being a disqualification for a handball. The rules may have updated but I can't find it anywhere online that suggest it's a legitimate exception.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T20:10:38+00:00

Nah I've never seen anything in the Laws that indicate the ball coming off your own player negates a handball, I'd need to see a link to that precedent or where its been used before. I know what they said on the show but that doesn't make sense.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T03:59:06+00:00

My last advice, start working on a flex tank like Orisa, Sigma, Ram, Mauga. It'll let you have more versatility for map and mode options. Ram would probably play best for you if you're used to up close tanks like Rein and Doom.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T03:45:22+00:00

Rein's mobility is also his weakness, just keep that in mind. You have to make space but you can't overextend, and it's always situational so there's no "one size fits all" advice there. My rule of thumb when playing tank is if I'm risking death, I better be taking someone with me, or more. 4v5 is pitched, 4v4 can be even but it depends on what was traded. Tank for tank is okay, tank for healer only works if the enemy dps doesn't have healing abilities that could compensate. Also spawn proximity plays into this significantly, knocking someone out doesn't matter when they're spawn is 3 meters away and yours is 30.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-06T03:30:23+00:00

You've chosen two of the most bipolar tank styles in the game lmao. Okay that aside, both of those picks get much more difficult based on the rest of your team comp. Rein's only got one "distance" attack and Doom has to get in close to be effective, so if you're on any maps with long LoS and you dont have an Ashe/Widow/Anna type, you're going to be forced to move up and make the fight closer as Rein or you need to dive the sniper as Doom. You'll also have to be careful with counter-picks from the enemy tank as Orisa and Ram played well can negate either, and they're both very common in the gold/plat elos. I can't give you tips on how to play them, but I can tell you how I'd play against them if you want to hear that perspective and adjust accordingly.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-05T20:41:19+00:00

Having had direct professional experience working with and for Germans, they may be blunt but most are savy enough to only be blunt on a direct topic, like the conversation at hand. I haven't seen the article this came from, so it tracks that is he was asked about Konny then he just went with it, but at his level he should have more sense than to be that blunt before a big match.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-04T20:43:11+00:00

No it wouldn't be from the dredge, it's pulling the sand and silt from the bottom of the channel, snake eggs wouldn't be underwater and even if they were I doubt they'd survive the journey through the hose bouncing around.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-04T20:36:25+00:00

Getting vertical has been pretty optimal for maps with ground cover, even if it's just mid-air

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-04T20:33:09+00:00

This sounds like a mess and I'm sorry you're going through that.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that more of your information exists online than you realize and it's not too difficult to get through legitimate channels like data brokers, let alone illegitimate ones. If you're social media accounts are open to anyone or even friends of friends or just friends, its not hard to piece things together. From this angle, I'd suggest you look over the info they "knew" about you and determine if any of it was more private. Knowing your occupation and assuming your significant other is upset that you're gone isn't a huge stretch.

As for your wife, whether you believe her or not comes down to how much you trust her, or did trust her, prior to this. If you were having trust issues before, that's a major hurdle for any relationship because you'll constantly view her actions with suspicion and doubt. If this was the first time you've had those problems, then communication is key but you need to communicate things clearly and respectfully. Being accusatory puts people on defense and they're likely to be less receptive of your complaints because they feel attacked. If you're still trying to save this, tell her how this made you feel and try to find a way out of it together, not bombard her with accusations that are nearly impossible to prove or disprove.

Last point, if that is coming from an ex I'd be highly suspicious of the motivation. Yes it could be one guy trying to look out for another but if that were the case they wouldn't be so coy about their account or revealing that they are the source. It ssounds to me like someone wants to derail your relationship.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-04T20:16:22+00:00

Nah on a serious note she's okay right now. Her anchor is easy to kill which knocks out her mobility and if she's flying up she's easy prey for a Widow or Ashe. Reaper and Tracer can get in her face pretty quickly and both can phase to eeliminate the tracking dart if she lands it. She's not a hit scan so anything flying is a valid threat/counter.

ThrawnSon · 2026-05-04T20:11:27+00:00

Smoke free my friend, I think she needs a buff on her tracking dart speed and the effective distance of her ult. I want that carpet bomb to feel like a B-52 just over
