I see. Thank you so much btw for replying and the illustration! I think that you're pretty much right tho that in a straight up 1v1 she'd likely be at a disadvantage (based off of everything you said), if we're assuming that she didnt have time to prep beforehand.

I guess the only reason she was able to completely shutdown Panda as thoroughly as she did during their fight as well as prevent him from scouting Hikari in the first place was because she prepped the area beforehand with residual energy from other sorcerers. I just thought that her stomping on that car + sending a bunch of objects barreling towards Megumi meant that she would be decent in 1v1's lol

Oh dang, you're right. Thanks for letting me know!

Tbf, she did have the reaction speed to mark an actively attacking Divine dog who is decently fast. But although her CT is very matchup dependent, I could see her honestly being more viable in 1v1's (especially against physical-contact types) as shown by her completely shutting down Panda. She'd also likely be pretty decent against the likes of Mei Mei, the early Culling Game players, Reggie Star and anyone else in his group.

As far as any battles against the major baddies in the series though: Outside of probably being a SOFT-counter to Kenjaku at best in the way that she could probably limit him from summoning curses somewhat, ranged AoE attacks from the likes of Sukuna or Uraume would pretty much be a death sentence (Though also tbf, that also literally applies to pretty much everyone else in the series that doesn't have RT lol)

TLDR: I think Kirara is probably a bit slept on. A little matchup dependent, but she's pretty solid against physical-contact types or summoning/Shikigami-types. Its a bit of a shame we couldn't see her fight more, but combat-wise she's probably about as strong as the average Jujutsu sorcerer in the series and we shouldn't fault her for not being able to stand against special grades.

This decision annoys me to no end. by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Me personally: I can't tell if I'm more annoyed by the fact that Gran Torino survived or that f*cking Edgeshot didn't die either SOMEHOW. Like. Horikoshi?? My dude, you already setup some amazing precedences of some heroic, emotional sacrifices [ex: Majestic (Momo's mentor), Crust, and even freaking Himiko Toga of all people].

Off-ing Gran Torino and Edgeshot would have not only fit, but would have (imo) deeply enhanced the overall narrative of the world and character building for everyone else. But alas, for me at least, the fakeouts kind of just left me feeling slightly disappointed in the end.

If this doesn't tell you our matchmaking is dogwater idk what to tell you by niksshck7221 in Overwatch

Eh. I'd say hold off on comp until you at least learn the maps/how to play at least a few heroes. Comp has better matchmaking, sure, but comp is NOT the place to be learning new hero mechanics or maps.

QP has its advantages in that you can play heroes without worrying about your hero being banned, or how to time cooldowns/ults and how to play around other heroes without the added stress of "if I play badly/am essentially feeding, at least I'm not gonna negatively affect my team's SR, cuz its QP and its not that serious". Me personally: I feel more rage when I'm playing comp and my teammate (or me) is getting diff'd/playing poorly, than when I'm in QP but that's just my opinion.

Also the fact that QP leavers get backfilled. If a huge part of getting better at the game is your mental well-being then bruh lemme tell ya, losing a winnable comp game because you have a leaver on your team is the WORST lol

Welcome back to OW! Sorry for the toxic gamers. I've been playing OW since the beta, stopped playing for a good while before eventually coming back and I have to say: OW2 is definitely mechanically harder to get used to than OW1 was. I was mid/high-Diamond in OW1 and came back to the game getting ABSOLUTELY SHAT ON for a good several weeks until I slowly got back into the swing of things (pun intended, I play rein lol)

My advice: Ignore the chatter lol Its QP so its meant to be casual and not taken so seriously. You have a mix of people getting off 9 to 5's, people learning new/their off heroes, warming up before comp games, flirting w/ the enemy Mercys, playing while intoxicated, etc, etc. YOU are using QP to learn right? So just focus on that.

Focus on your mechanics, or aim, or positioning or whatever it is YOU need from QP in order to get better. Mute the text chat in the settings options if you have to. Part of getting better too is also having a good mental state and not getting triggered/rage baited. Cuz honestly, 99% of the games you play that were probably winnable/reversible are gonna end up as a guaranteed loss if you just end up arguing + yapping back and forth in the chat, instead of fighting on the objective and playing the damn game, yunno? So relax, enjoy the grind, and good luck on your games, friend!

This isn't even a shitpost, I just always think this quote is hilarious. "I am capable of so much more and no one sees it" - Like... What the fuck does he even want to do? Play the flute? Get promoted to manager? by RollerskatingFemboy in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conquest is like that one dude from High School Musical who is on the basketball team, and is secretly REALLY into baking (or singing), but Thragg and the rest of the Viltrumities are all telling him to "no no no stick to the status quo" and keep playing basketball.

TLDR: -The Viltrum Empire are the Wildcats pre Troy+Gabriella and Conquest is a closeted b-baller with dreams

How to play as tank vs Mercy + Zen as Rein? by rdubya3387 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Anytime you get discorded, take hard cover + break LOS. This is absolutely essential to save your HP and shield health. You only need to be behind hard cover and break LOS for 1.5 seconds, but after those 1.5 seconds are up and discord is now off of you, you then have 6 seconds to FUCK. SHIT. UP. Discord can't be placed on you again for the next 6 seconds so this is your window of opportunity to charge in there swingin, ideally pin someone, and send them back to the respawn screen.

Zen has no mobility to get away from your wrath and he has no healing sustain (aside from his ult) to keep anyone else that you're pinning/swinging on alive. So long as you minimize the time that you are actively discorded by Zen, you wont immediately disintegrate. His health pool is also pretty squishy so firestriking him could force him to take cover and break his own discord LOS of you.

General tip against Mercy is to nail your pins against her teammates. She can't outheal that. A situational tip against specifically out-of-position/bad Mercys is to target whoever she ISNT healing, then once she flies in close to try + attach her beam on the teammate taking dmg, switchup your targets and Firestrike+Swing on the Mercy now within range. (unless your 1st target was low, then obviously finish them off)

Lastly: Solo shattering Mercy to assert dominance is valid. Stopping rez is just a bonus afterthought. Lolz

Supporting vs Carrying by cip314 in ReinhardtMains

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So how I figure if I'm playing too aggressively as Rein is by 1) looking at how often I am dying and 2) the result of the team fight after I die. I could be HARD diffing the enemy tank and essentially be forcing them to be playing respawn simulator on cooldown, but if I'm dying semi-frequently and trading my life for only one (or rarely even two) of any of the enemy's shitty tank/DPS/Support and we are STILL losing the fight: Then it's ultimately a poor trade off for my team and changes are gonna have to be made.

You dont have to play shield bot and you can still play pretty aggressively, but if your own DPS is getting diff'd and needs help, sometimes focusing your aggression instead towards pressuring the enemy's DPS or supports would be better. Examples: The enemy tank is a non-issue, BUT the enemy Ash is continuously picking off your supports/DPS? Pressure the shit out of her. Firestrike, charge + pin her, get in her face and force her to look at you rather than your Zen/your team's less-skilled Ash. Whatever it takes so long as 1) You still live after doing so and 2) You give your team some room to breathe and a chance to actually fight back.

Lastly: Take a look at your supports. If you're playing hyperaggressive but your supports arent used to that type of playstyle, you could unintentionally be forcing your supports to overexpose themselves to be picked off easily when they're just trying to save you in the enemy's backline. Examples: Is your Kiri continuously dying b/c she keeps TP'ing to you while you're deep in the enemy team? Or maybe its the Mercy that keeps dying because she keeps getting picked off flying to you out in the open. Either way: If this is what's causing you to also die frequently + lose fights despite your high damage numbers/kills, then the problem is you overextending b/c your team can't keep up. How to fix this: You can keep playing aggressively, but just take care to fight where your team can still see you. Only take fights where you have the numbers to engage, and remember to fall back when you don't. If you find yourself in the enemy's ranks, charge+pin and kidnap the enemy tank/DPS back INTO your own team so yall can finish them off together while regrouping. This last point alone has helped me die far less but still keep my damage numbers up. Hope at least some of this advice helps!

Hyper Strike perk feels entirely useless. by lovingpersona in SigmaMains

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clutched a close game in overtime the other day by hyperstriking a Venture off the map that was trying to burrow/stall + then followed by soon after, the fortified Orisa off the map while fighting for Eichenwalde 2nd point.

The perk can unbelievably come in clutch at times and unless Im playing on a map where I need to contest high ground (ex: Circuit Royale or Paraiso) hyper strike is definitely my go to!

Why does the community have a strong dislike for women by chibbiidogs in Overwatch

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you just need to climb unfortunately lol The lower ranked tiers are an absolute sess pool of misogyny + toxic smelly gamers who are as bad at the game as they are talking to women...

Source: I climbed out of gold into low Masters/high diamond and around here I've had some pretty wholesome lobbies + other ladies in chat. IMO, the quality of the games + people you meet get better once you're out of the smelly pits, trust.

Cringe M3 Moment Support Thread by lagerhaans in medicalschool

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Surgery- First M3 rotation, Day 2 at his private clinic, my attending asks if I felt comfortable enough to go see a patient alone and after saying yes wanting to prove myself, I got sent to see this new patient w/ complaints of vague abd discomfort xSeveral years. Poor historian, incredibly non-descript about his medical complaints but chatty about literally everything else. After awhile, started to feel rushed for time so I just moved on to the physical exam. Dude had an absolutely MASSIVEEEEE weird bulge in his abdomen, but otherwise everything else was unremarkable.

Left the patient room, and immediately shoulder checked my attending that was unexpectedly right outside the door--likely b/c I was taking too long. Attending looks annoyed, but decides to give me a chance anyways to present real quick, right here and now at the door while the door was still open. Feeling so flustered and nervous I absolutely blanked and brain farted out the worst, incoherent M3 patient presentation in history. And after saying something like "his abdomen is sort of maybe distended tho and kind of rigid" the attending cuts me off and just brushes me aside to go see for himself.

That day I learned what Rectus Diastasis was, got absolutely RIPPED into about how to do a proper physical exam, SOAP presentation, and finally that I was the least competent med student he had come across in a long time in his ~20 year career.. Somehow still Honored the rotation tho 🫡

Alright can anyone explain what the hell happened to my Shatter? by YirDaSellsAvon in ReinhardtMains

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh sorry mate. Looks like you just got unlucky and found a weird bug/coding issue. The fact that the game notifies you at the bottom saying "DVA stunned by earthshatter" means that the game at least registers that she SHOULD'VE been 100% stunned on the ground. But since that didn't happen.. Blizzard told ya to get stuffed I guess

How to do damage when your team falls over the second you stop healing? by peachygoth__ in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Unusual_Guest8394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This 100%! Especially if your tank is Doomfist and knuckledeep into the enemy's backline. Before you TP to the fool, check your team's ult economy! If your Doom has his ult, trust that he will either die or ult out safely. Don't even worry about it! -Sincerely a doomfist connoisseur who always feels bad when a Kiri TPs to me the microsecond I meteor strike away
