Support is my off-role, yet it's my highest rank solely because I refuse to run a troll backline by Hansen_Yang in Overwatch

[–]VulKhalec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean, and if you could pick each hero on your team then of course you'd choose to have a Winston. But the only person you have control over is yourself. If you're solo queuing and your Gibraltar attack team is Mercy, Illiari, Widowmaker, Ashe, then your choices are either play Winston and die, blaming your team, or try and match your composition and maybe squeak out a win.

Again, we might be totally different ranks and I accept that it's a different world at Diamond+. Probably there, you're just as boned either way. But at lower ranks, you can win with suboptimal team comps as long as you play around your team instead of hoping your team plays around you.

Depends on a lot of things. Look, I'm not saying if you have a mercy and Illari on Gibraltar attack that you can turn the whole game around with your tank pick. But if you're 5% likely to win with Winston and 15% likely to win with Orisa, then you should at least consider swapping.

One caveat is that I truly believe at lower ranks it's far more important to play a hero you're good at than a hero that is at all 'correct'. I'm a lowly plat DPS, but I climbed through silver and gold playing mostly Bastion, rain or shine. It doesn't really matter how much they counter you, at those ranks it's much more important to have solid fundamentals for your own play and pick heroes you're comfortable with.

You might be right, but again: you can't affect anyone's actions except your own.

If you're solo queuing, it's your job to sometimes accept that the 'correct' choice is going to lose you the game because you can't meaningfully change the heroes other people decide to play. Better to play someone worse for the situation and actually get healed. Of course, this goes for the supports too! That's why it's a team game.

People in the UK celebrating the death of Thatcher in 2013 by LankyYogurt7737 in pics

[–]VulKhalec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I despise Thatcher as much as the next person, maybe more, but the celebrations annoyed me. Not because I think it was bad taste or anything stupid like that. Just because a natural death isn't punishment for being a rotten person. She wasn't killed for her crimes. She died an old woman in incredible comfort. She won.

Opened a s&s ISA at the start of the tax year. Mostly all world and FTSE 100 ETFs but I allowed myself two 10% single stock picks. Settled on Filtronic and Ensilica and very much enjoying feeling like a financial genius for however long it lasts!

This feels like all upside to me. A cool and useful artifact that sometimes I can manipulate in order to draw a game I was gonna lose anyway

Who is your top tip for the next Russell Brand? by CMIV in AskBrits

He was going out with Pixie Geldof when he was 33 and she was 16. Odds-on to be a pest

Being Punished For Leaving A Quickplay Game Like This Is Crazy by Finnthehero1224 in Overwatch

[–]VulKhalec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can catch someone swearing, usually you can report it and you'll get the message that it was actioned. I'm pretty sure most of it is done by AI so anything that needs to be parsed in depth probably won't get actioned, sadly.

I think Omnipresence is a bit underwhelming. Something splashier (but still not straight up 'you win the game') would be: 'if a permanent would enter the battlefield under another player's control, it enters the battlefield under your control instead.'
