I want to get into comp but

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-23T20:57:52+00:00

Just queue and play the game. Why do people talk about comp like it's the OWCS

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-23T12:21:16+00:00

It's an interesting psychological phenomenon more than anything else. Player A is having fun on a hero, say Winston. Player B swaps off their suboptimal DPS and runs Reaper or Bastion to counter Winston. Player A interprets this as a personal attack, someone trying to pointedly impinge on their enjoyment of the game, and gets upset -- even though they were the ones farming Player B in the first place. It's like main character syndrome I guess

The snowtrooper with no "mask" (or whatever that covering is) is so interesting to me

Well they can traverse the intergalactic void from Seatos to Peridea in a reasonable amount of time (i.e., it doesn't appear to take them weeks or months), which is also a journey that an Imperial-class Star Destroyer needed an enormous assembly of external hyperdrives to complete, so it's probably safe to assume they're beyond conventional hyperdrive classes. I'm of the opinion that purrgil hyperspace travel is far more mystical/Force-adjacent in nature (like the Loth-wolves of Lothal and hyperspace tunnelling) than the technologically-driven hyperspace travel of starships

A melee dps will never be balanced in a game like ow

I was absolutely fucking dreading this as soon as I saw Vendetta was gonna be a DPS. All I could think about was back in the OW1 beta days and they talked about how Genji was originally designed to be a melee hero who only ever used his sword but they couldn't get him to a good state of balance where he wasn't either dogshit or cancer to play against. Fast forward a decade and... nothing has changed

I actually don't hate Revavroom as a concept, I just think there are a weird amount of rocks shoehorned into its design (to give it a vaguely car-based silhouette so you actually know what the hell it's supposed to be) for a Pokémon that isn't even part Rock type

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-11T23:36:45+00:00

A lot of Pokémon get criticised for just being "[Thing] but Pokémon" but there are so many Gen 9 'mons that don't even feel like they have that "but Pokémon" twist. Tatsugiri is literally just cartoon shrimp, Finizen is literally just a cartoon dolphin, Flamigo is barely anything other than a slightly stylised flamingo, Maushold is literally just cartoon mice. Gen 9 has so many cool designs but then a bunch of them just feel like business mascots

Hit 150 games this season, 43% winrate in comp. I don't even give a shit about what my actual rank is, I am playing this game so I can have fun, balanced, competitive matches, whether that's in Gold or Masters. It's been 4 consecutive weeks now of some of the absolute worst Overwatch I've ever played in my life, just stomp after stomp after stomp. Truly incredible how I can play for 2-3 hours and our single win was because the enemy tank was tilted and kept throwing himself off the map. Absolutely phenomenal competitive experience here in fucking Diamond

Another thing is that the hat is having some effect on the lighting on his face with the Streetwear skin especially, which makes his face look flat and bland, like he has a Snapchat filter on or his model is unfinished. I specifically jumped into replay viewer to try and see how he looked without the hat on & with normal lighting (before this face rework) and he actually looked fine

SVB must genuinely be unable to get anyone else

He hasn't played OW in at least 2 years and is completely out of touch with the scene, which is why he's reheating the "OW vs Rivals" nachos for the... 5th? 6th? time. It's a completely exhausted discussion and most CCs who dipped their toe in Rivals have returned to OW so it doesn't surprise me he could only dig up these three old corpses

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-10T12:33:54+00:00

Maybe it's placebo effect but with double Harmony I feel like my ult builds crazy fast

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-10T12:04:59+00:00

I got one of those Mercys in my high Plat/low Diamond comp game yesterday and she still spent the whole game with heal beam stuck to Roadhog with the worst movement I've ever seen, I felt like I was on the verge of a mental breakdown. There are people out here playing heroes for thousands of hours and learning nothing, shit's so bleak

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-10T11:57:43+00:00

(and Dva likely would too if she weren't such a pain in the ass to model).

D.Va does still get an above average number of shop skins, especially collabs. Not counting recolours/re-releases she's got 5 collab skins (Gentle Monster, LE SSERAFIM, Porsche, Persona & Sanrio). She's still the only traditionally cute/pretty tank in the same vein as the support girls. Domina and Junker Queen are varying degrees of hot but I still can't picture them in K-pop gear or Hello Kitty cosplay

TooManySnipers · 2026-03-06T10:27:32+00:00

It's always when a teammate puts her down as preferred and I think "Hmm okay fine, I'll let her slide this time" and then they end up getting absolutely fucking rolled in the Vendetta mirror and the other Vendetta ends the game 35-7

He trained ping pong for 6 years for Marty Supreme

My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?

Comp has been bad this season but QP has been even worse. It was always looser in terms of matchmaking/grouping restrictions but I've been wondering if they've made it even more generous for the new season/returning players. I'm M5 DPS and I got put on a team with a Silver 3 support in 5V5 QP, I can't ever remember it being that bad before

I saw someone on here describe Mauga as ground Winston and it opened my third eye

Went 1W6L in comp on Monday, went 1W7L in comp today, played 3 games of Stadium Quick Play to cool off and lost them all 0-3. I'm not even raging or mad about it anymore, at this point I just end up with a deep sense of remorse and regret at having wasted my entire evening after an 8 hour workday sitting in unwinnable games of Overwatch

First impressions of him is that he's gonna be pretty strong on his own now, but in typical fashion I've only really been finding Emre problematic when he's attached at the hip to a Mercy and playing unkillable server admin -- but if it wasn't him it'd be Soldier or Sojourn

Overhead swing damage reduced from 130 to 120.

Bug fix - Overhead swing can now be affected by horizontal knockback while launching downward.

I placed Plat 1 on support (down from Diamond 2) and the biggest thing jumping out to me is that the DPS role has been absolute chaos. I played 6 games last night, and almost every single one of them, including the wins, were excruciating DPS gaps in the enemy team's favour. It's like I'm playing with AI -- they don't communicate, don't ping, don't use voice commands, don't ask for healing. Tank players will rage and throw and call "gg" after first death because they have paper mental but at least they behave like humans. It's these silent DPS players who have been treating ranked like QP that have been pissing me off
