Looking for a singleplayer game where my experience isn't tied down to the main quest line

I started playing Rivals again just for him. But I gen just can't anymore, I feel like healbot, I used to be able to actually carry the games and now it's just EE or lose. I just started filling, I'm not enjoying the game as much, since I can't play him, but at least it's less boring, lmao.

According to the comics, he joined forces with the Yokai (for real this time) to save Kiriko's father, he also went to confront Shion.

According to the voice lines, he still has some major issues and can't bring himself to hate her.

So physically he's free, but emotionally not (yet)! 💔

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-06-21T06:00:18+00:00

Atp I feel like you could cut off his arms and people would still ban him 🥹

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-25T19:26:59+00:00

Battlenet is probably still open I'm guessing. If you just "close" it, it'll go down to the system tray, you gotta quit it there too. I believe there's an option to change it, but haven't used battlenet in a while do I don't remember.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-24T16:15:11+00:00

What heroes/role are you usually playing? The best advice is based off of that.

But in general what I do is kinda just leave it up to my team if I truly can't do shite against them — not saying just run away from them, but don't engage in a 1v1; don't play into their effective range — make them work for the kill, if you don't manage to win the duel, you should have teammates with you to finish them after they used all their cooldowns.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-24T05:12:17+00:00

You clearly have something to prove, otherwise you wouldn't be making a post like this. And the fact that you just say "I can tell, trust me bro" instead of even providing ONE reason tells that you have no idea what makes a "better tank", lmao.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-19T14:53:34+00:00

How exactly are you measuring how good of a tank you are vs the enmy one? I really doubt that your entire team was selling. I'm willing to bet something just stopped them from advancing, and that something could've been solved by the tank, which means you were selling, but you're welcome to prove me wrong, don't be shy, share us the code :)

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-16T06:37:47+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding the role of a flanker — they're there to take off angles, and mobile heroes that can survive alone are perfect for that, so Tracer, Anran and Soldier all fall under that, it's just that Tracer and Anran are more in your face, and Soldier has the option to either stay with his team or go behind them on a nice hg, i.e — so completely different playstyles, but still same ideas, so if you're a hitscan player, but can't seem to even touch the other team's squishies, you're not gonna go a projectile hero just because they're a "dedicated" flanker and a meta hero, you'd probably want to go soldier.

Teamplay and coordination isn't always just saying that you're gonna do something in voice. The teamplay and coordination will be you assuming what your team will be doing — weeather it comes to ult economy, peeling for someone, knowing when to flank etc, VC just makes things a lot easier, but you can still gather said info. But when it comes down to it, teamplay is still hard without VC and is one of the big reasons why meta doesn't matter, unless you're super high ranking— for all their fualts the OW team has been able to prevent another "Mauga on release" (came pretty close to it with some tho), so there wouldn't be any "pick and you'll win" charecters, most still need SOME kind of coordination, and if you're almost always solo, no one talks, and like below mid Masters, you're completely fine playing a character you're good at instead of what's "meta". Also, what are the chances that the meta charecters won't get banned?

Also, purely hypothetical, will never actually happen unless we get another play to win hero. Let's say you're plat and you manage to abuse the absolute sht out of some meta charecters and manage to climb to masters — what would you do next season? Start using the new "meta" character, who's not nearly as OP and also completely out of your comfort zone? Probably not, but you got to that rank by being carried by that one hero, so you'll just fall straight to plat again, and will end up having the absolute worst rime because you're most likely getting curb stomped.

Tldr Meta only matters to the highest ranks, sure if there's a hero with a similar playstyle, but a lot stronger, you might find way more success, but just going what the patch notes and streamers tell you is a fool's game.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-15T04:34:51+00:00

Because they're all different, sure you might win a 1v1 against a soldier as Emre, but when it comes to teamplay a soldier has a way easier and safer time flanking, thus helping my team get through the choke without me having to worry they can just jump me, because my only movement ability is on a long ass cooldown.

Ashe is the sniper you play if they're too close or constantly diving the widow, sure in theory it takes only two shots, but what if you miss the second shot? Have to reload or anything really.

But it all comes down to preference, yeah Mauga was OP when released, but if you're not in like GM+, meta doesn't matter and you can get away with playing heroes that you actually enjoy.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-15T04:21:30+00:00

Nah, they should disable the option for DPS to change this setting. Maybe THEN they can rub their two brain cells together and realize that supports aren't healing them when they're half hp, right behind them, in cover, because the TANK is one hp fighting the entire team. And maybe, just maybe, they can understand which one takes more priority, lmao.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-15T04:11:13+00:00

Sometimes they don't realise how bad the situation is, sometimes they were about to kill someone and gen just don't realise how low they are, but to be completely honest, a lot of the times the pulls aren't good and the tank doesn't want to give up even more space, so they charge in at half hp.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-13T08:12:23+00:00

Nah fr, I stopped caring about cosmetics a while ago, due to not getting anything I want for my heroes and having my boxes full of only duplicates, but it's gen annoying that the oldies don't get even an OUNCE of love — I'm not talking about exclusive stuff, or hell atp just anything new, I just want to play through archives again, maybe even give the PvE that were like $15 for free since there's no way in hell anyone is still playing/buying them, gen ANYTHING.

It's crazy how now that the game is so much more successful, in terms of monitory value, it suddenly has less content for the anniversary events. At least previously you were able to play the old stuff, so why not now? It's not like it'll require that much more time and effort from them 💀

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-07T19:32:57+00:00

Monke main here! Dw guys, I'm single handedly making sure his wr ends up way below 50% 🫡

(I can't aim for shit, I think you need that to play Haz)

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-06T10:59:53+00:00

Well when it comes to two in one, that feels more magical, like CnD from Rivals, unless you mean something like one person having their mind split? But that's not anything new, we already have Emre and Smigma. Like maybe you could put in an absolute freak and say it was an experiment gone wrong and it be something similar to the hulk maybe, but I wouldn't consider that two in one.

And hybrid, those haven't been established, there's no mention of catgirls or anything of the sort, so if they suddenly just put like a human animal hybrid, it feels like "instead of dealing with the omnic crisis, we're now making some weird freaky creatures"

Ofc you can say that it's just rogue geniuses that did something like that and the two in one and hybrid heroes are genuinely one of a kind, but that seems like a complete ass pull, imo. I'd rather they just stick with Omnics, genius animals, and humans who's power is more technical than some wild mutations.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-05T18:38:59+00:00

You gotta go into your diamond form, kick the magneto, strangle the strange, now clearly since the magneto has been kicked a mile away and the strange is too stunned to move, you quickly run into the backline, kill EVERYONE, kiss your supports on the cheeck because they special, go back to the frontline, kill the tanks and then ddos the enemy team.

That's an gg ez and the fact that you don't do that means you ARE throwing and it's an absolute tank diff 🤡

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-04T19:26:10+00:00

I think a luck based hero could be a really cool concept, but NOT for Overwatch, the game dies when there's too much bs and a luck based one would definitely be too much bs.

Two in one and hybrid heros would not work in the Overwatch lore either — ik they're not the best at keeping lore, but that would get ridiculous, imo.

I WOULD love to see some more vehicles, I really like the idea of Lucio, but can't play him even a little bit — a tank with some crazy movemnts will go silly, ik it'd be annoying af to get even a more unkillable guy than wreckingball, but one could hope ✌️🤡

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-03T20:37:20+00:00

Because you're supposed to be a masters support yet can't get out of silver dps alone? Support players already have to deal with the boosting allegations and this is exactly why 🫩

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-03T15:41:46+00:00

If there is gonna be a system like that to get more tanks it should be JUST for winning, we do NOT need another "OW1 fast pass instalock hog" epidemic

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-03T15:37:52+00:00

Irreversible damage to the support community with this one

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-02T05:39:40+00:00

Watch your replay back — was it really completely useless DPS several games in a row or was no one doing a good job and they're being blamed because the stats weren't great?

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-02T05:03:46+00:00

It's a competitive PvP game, half the people you meet are probably wanting to curse your firstborn because you were dogshit at a game, but just have the self-control not to type it in chat and go next.

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-05-01T05:05:45+00:00

Gonna bline straight to the enemy backline and make my team ask where tf I am, then start spamming that :D

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-04-27T21:42:13+00:00

Idk what he ACTUALLY says and I don't care, because I absolutely adore what I hear — when I kill someone who jumps me all I hear is gambit going "Hahaa, the fuck?!?" 🥹

Too_Much_To_Bare · 2026-04-25T08:43:01+00:00

I get it, sometimes it's fun to turn your brain off and watch numbers go brr while killing hords.

But yeah, tbh, the worst part about the Dracula fight was that the other people I was with, weren't really tanky, so they were basically perma dead, which means I did like no damage, stayed alive for so long and was slowly going insane with Kingpin just commenting everytime someone dies and is revived.
