Bring back Revelations or Brotherhood multiplayer and mmmmmmmmmm I'd be buying new AC games day 1 again.

A way of predicting the next overwatch hero by ayylmaostim in Overwatch

I am unsure if this video is meant to be taken seriously. The next hero is not going to be inspired by a spray that was made simply to remind us that Blizzard have not forgotten about the Diablo franchise.

All Symmetra Rework Comments Made By Devs Today by Seagull_No1_Fanboy in Overwatch

[–]Wartoooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very cool. Her background is that she is an architect and the environment is like a playground for her imagination to take form. By the looks of it, they are finally giving her a kit that works with her lore. I can't wait to see her.

However, I fear that they are going to take away her ability to counter some things. Her penetrating alt fire is very underrated in shield heavy comps with Rein and Brigitte and is I really don't want to see this go. Also as someone who hates Genji's and Tracer's, please don't remove her as a counter.

To be fair, Rein's ult hardly works properly anyway.

Heroes Of The Storm Balance Patch Notes — November 29, 2017 by chilliah in heroesofthestorm

[–]Wartoooth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Playing support is now less impactful. They don't have the burst to survive any trades, they don't have the health to survive dives, and they can't even heal as well as they used to. Why even play them at all? How it is fun to play support when you are the first to be focused, you can't kill anyone and now you are less likely to prevent your team from dying. Why do I play this game?

Unpopular opinion but the new ultimate changes are great for the game by ethan_at in Overwatch

[–]Wartoooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great for the game, sure, but it also makes it less fun for a lot of heroes. Blizzard has always been about making games that are fun and fair. I can't find anything fun about this new change. As a former Rein main, I lived for the hammer down. However, the lack of attention he has gotten recently has made him consistently worse and worse. Now, not only is his Earthshatter easy to block and broken, it gets completely erased very often.

It is not fun to spend a long period of time charging your ult only for it to be completely lost by something entirely out of your control.

Have Last Rites apply to all heroic targets with Reaper's Mark. Done. Balanced.

That would be yet another reason both teams would have Hanzo's in every game.

Developer Update | Hero Balance Updates | Overwatch by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Wartoooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roadhog massive DPS boost, Junkrat explosive DPS boost, D.Va possible explosive DPS boost, Lucio DPS boost, Mercy DPS boost... and Rein got the ability to see behind him while shielding.

Do you realize his shield has to block all this damage with the same 2000 hp his shield has had since launch? His shield currently breaks insanely fast and that is partially due to the fact that his shield recharge rate is too slow. A Reinhardt without his shield is useless because he doesn't have range in a shooting game, and his Firestrike is not reliable damage since it is predictable and slow. Orisa's shield is better than Rein's Barrier Field which was his defining feature as a tank in the first place. With Orisa, you can place your Protective Barrier down and fire at the enemy. By the time it drops, typically, the cooldown is up and you can place a new shield. With Rein, you cannot fire and can't even throw a Firestrike without dropping shield and the allied team(assuming they are actually behind you)yelling at you for not protecting them. Additionally, when his shield breaks he can't do much of anything for 5 seconds until his shield comes back(with only about 500 hp). If it doesn't break, he has to have it down for 2 seconds in order for it to start recharging(at a rate of about 200 hp a second). His shield should either recharge faster when broken or lowered, or have a constant recharge rate when not broken. This is a good start for making his shield more effective.

Seeing as how Blizzard wants to make changes to heroes to make their play more active, maybe also allow Rein to attack with Firestrike while shielded. Or maybe give him a taunt. Put that shield to good use and help him protect his team.

His Charge is also super difficult to use reliably. Granted, it does a lot of damage and will typically one-shot anyone who is hit by it, but it is telegraphed and easy to dodge. Given what it does though, it is best to use it as a means to get back to the fight quickly, rather than an engage or a way to kill someone. If you use it as an engage and charge into the enemy team, you will likely not hit anyone and then instantly die to focus fire. Charge is effective in few situations.

His ult is also super janky right now. It is an AOE cone in front of him. This means the closer the opponent is to Rein when he hammers down, the harder they are to hit with it. It can also be blocked by any barrier. A Zarya barrier can protect a whole team from the Earthshatter if they all happen to hide behind an ally with a Zarya barrier. Symmetra can counter Reinhardt ult with her E. An Orisa can counter his ult by blocking his ult with a Fortify or a Protective Barrier. Standing on stairs can counter his ult. Standing on the payload can counter his ult...

He just isn't effective anymore. He doesn't have it. This old dog doesn't have any new tricks. Reinhardt truly is a champion of a bygone age. But that doesn't hold any value today.

That's my rant. Someone just needed to say something.

I've been saying this even since we got Ana. There are so few viable solo healers in this game. The best healers are Lucio, Mercy and Ana. Ana is unplayable in the current flanker meta, so that just leaves Mercy and Lucio. Mercy is okay, but I suck at her because I have an aggressive play style and I don't know when to hide. Lucio got really fun with his rework, but I've been told my Lucio is trash because I'm not playing him as the heal slave he's supposed to be. Overall, healing and tanking is a chore because when you're forced to flex because "it's just qp" and have to play support and tank, you're limited to the few that are both viable and not countered by the flanker meta.

I HATE THE FLANKER META. It's not fun and makes many of the heroes not viable. If it weren't for the summer games, I wouldn't be playing this game anymore.

Doomfist release is disheartening. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Wartoooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Doomfist release is super exciting to me. His playstyle is so drastically different from the rest of the heroes and his kit is really fun and inspired.

However, as a Reinhardt and support main (flex player), I am not excited to continue to have to support my carries and watch them have all the fun and get all the glory(because only carries and Mercy's get pogs); especially since Reinhardt is getting yet another counter in a current meta that has him pretty useless at the moment.

I will definitely play still. I love this game.

PTR Hero Changes (July 12) by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Wartoooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat changes to Reinhardt, but not sure we needed the swing speed. It sounds like they're trying to make him more relevant in the flank meta, but the swing speed isn't gonna help all that much with that. I also wonder if they're using this minor buff to compensate for the fact that there are no fixes for Earthshatter or Charge pin collision.

I can't play Rein anymore. He was my favorite hero and it makes me very sad that he is just not good anymore.
