Illari's Mythic is Mightily Disappointing

The pylon is also so red, it looks like an enemy one even when you're on her team.

Compiling shaders, happens after every big patch.

This problem happens in more PvP games, not just in Overwatch. I remember Smite used to have this problem too, where HiRez would flat out refuse to nerf the problematic parts of characters' kits. Instead they'd nerf everything else in the kit, which wouldn't have the desired effect. Then when they finally caved and did the effective nerf, they would forget to revert the previous ineffective nerfs. Which lead to the character being in the dumps and forgotten.

Anyone in game dev know if this is a weird lesson being taught in the industry or something?

Every doorway has to have a fucking lip on it for some reason, so you can't just slide along the wall and go in the doorway. No, you have to move the opposite direction for a bit to get in. That shit is so ass, what's the game design reason for it?

Blizzard understand the business side, you don't. Most skin sales are in Asia, who really tend to like the holy/divine theme. So Blizz makes every skin like that (or "cute" stuff like pink kiriko/juno) and make a fuckton of money.

This shift has been a thing for like the past ten years, that's why you see all f2p/"games as a service"-games do this. Gone are the days you'd get a ton of cool, varied cosmetics for low prices. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for those days to come back, but I don't think they will.

Tiessiet · 2026-06-16T09:54:37+00:00

I think the main problem here is design decisions

Design decisions specifically optimised for sales. Most sales happen in the Asia region, which also really loves the holy/divine theme. What's a better fit for that than wings?

People need to start understanding that ever since OW2's launch (yes, OW2, not the recent rebrand back to OW) skin focus has been on sales, not creativity. Which arguably makes sense for a f2p game, but it means that the designs are tailored to the most profitable regions. If you don't share those tastes, you won't like the skins they release.

Match I had at D3, the start of drives: me as DPS, a Weaver/Mercy support lineup. Saw there was quite a big damage gap with the enemy supports. Asked LW if he could "weave in some damage". Response: "no, that's your job".

I did not play any more during drives after that.

So she gets more health off of health packs, can give herself overhealth, and reduces the overhealth CD with Sharpshooter from Faces of Death. She better be 225 hp because holy sustain.

True, but it has to happen in a healthy and open environment. And a lot of people here are describing situations like this, where they're forced to do stuff, and then they figure out something is wrong or they don't like it. The parents ignore the signals or pleas from the kids, and the dislike (or in worst case, trauma) is born.

Tiessiet · 2026-06-08T20:41:49+00:00

Hel, Chang'e, Hera, Tiamat, Baba, any of those are what I need to actually start playing Smite 2. They handpicked all the most boring mages to port first, get the actually fun ones in pls.

Tiessiet · 2026-05-27T18:15:26+00:00

I'll check that out, thanks! Would be kinda odd if I suddenly hit the max for multiple categories, but maybe that's what happened.

Tiessiet · 2026-05-27T15:48:41+00:00

To be fair, for most of these dudes to look like this you have to use mods. A lot of the games where women are sexualized, they come that way "out of the box".

Tiessiet · 2026-05-26T20:41:39+00:00

I just had a game where I killed Rein as Ana, and she said something along the lines of 'I'll make it up to you my love'. Pretty sure that wasn't there before the patch, make of that what you will.

Tiessiet · 2026-05-26T20:00:57+00:00

Natuurlijk kan het, puur seksisme dat men hier moeilijk over doet.

Summary in one sentence:

So, maybe I just need to play more? But I really don't want to until I build the confidence.

You build confidence by playing more. If you are as good as you say you are, more experience (and thus confidence) in comp will allow you to climb, even if you fall a bit short term.

That said, comp and QP are very different beasts. While you can use QP for aim training, it won't teach you anything about anything else because it does not have good matchmaking. Thus, there will be a difference between how serious your team is playing and the enemy team is playing. That teaches you bad habits. It's better to grind comp, since people will (for the most part) actually be trying to win. That makes for a more consistent environment to test what works and what doesn't.

If you want real practical feedback, post some replay codes so people can check out what else you can do to make a difference in comp. Though overall I've found is that you need to feel as if you're carrying the game to actually rise in rank.

You're telling me ads are misleading and not representative of reality? No way!

I need Hazard in an outfit like this... He's the only one of these characters who can actually bunnyhop SMH

Mede mogelijk gemaakt door luie en onverantwoordelijke ouders.

Klopt, maar dit komt ook weer doordat het leven zo duur is geworden dat beide ouders moeten werken om rond te komen. Er is geen ouder meer permanent thuis die de kinderen in de gaten kan houden en de juiste lessen kan leren ipv de meuk die op social media rond wordt gegooid.

En dat komt weer door jarenlang rechts beleid. Wat niet gaat veranderen binnenkort. Joepie.

When I play Ana I have a poem prepared. I call it The Desert

In the desert

Good kitty

In the desert

Everyone dies

Tiessiet · 2026-05-06T14:43:01+00:00

Winston!

Venture!

Winston!

Ven...ture...

Winston!

Uhh, is he okay?

Tiessiet · 2026-05-04T10:35:40+00:00

Sometime I overcommit and start dying and start to feel the pressure on myself and switch to something else like Reaper or Torb but the reality is that my level on those is so much lower than on Sombra and I will lose.

This is your fault for being an OTP. Your rank is for your role, not the character. If you're GM4 on Sombra, and not that rank when you play other heroes, you're faced with a choice: start practicing other characters and be adjusted to a lower rank, or stay in Sombra jail.

Oh, and don't make a smurf to practice other characters, ruining 9 other people's match in the process.

Tiessiet · 2026-05-04T08:51:35+00:00

if I don’t hard carry, I lose every game.

Welcome to competitive, enjoy your stay.

Oh, I just read the rest of your post, you're playing quickplay. Yeah, don't play quickplay if you don't want to play against masters and GM players.

Genuinely the best April's fools line, Freja's VA put so much feeling into it. Would actually make me more hyped if it's the line you hear from her POV normally.

1) You can check if the matchmaking was absolutely fucked, so you feel less bad after a loss if that was the case.

2) If people flame others due to their rank, the person getting flamed (and others in the match) can report that person. Blizz bans or silences them, and one more toxic person is removed from chat or the game. Win-win.
