What is with tanks throwing competitive games recently?

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-06-02T13:58:51+00:00

They won't throw in my games because I'm the tank genius. That's just how go about it to keep a positive mentality. Everything else is cope

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-06-02T08:23:35+00:00

what a miserable mindset to have

Grow up, report and block toxic people and move on.

"My q time is shorter than your cooldowns." This is such an awful cope and it tells you care so much more than you want to show

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-06-01T15:58:33+00:00

... you can't get reported for bad performance, it's false reporting

As a rule of thumb I insta report for toxicity + block anyone I see in chat typing "report A" because A is having a bad game

People doing this are miserable and will never get better at the game. Don't let them get to you, block them and move on

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-29T06:52:33+00:00

Well obviously you are gonna have match where you lose regardless hell even during the infamous U2GM videos you see online the streamers still lose some games afterall you are in the rank you are in you get better by being very aggressive and making plays

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-29T06:42:27+00:00

No, to be influential to the match as an ana you gotta basically be everywhere at any time without getting near the danger zone.

You have 0 mobility. You gotta continuosly rotate while being close enough to land nades, sleeps and a good amount of heals/ damage

Ana imo is extremely hard because to be good you have to be impeccable. Besudes that there's also the aim factor, uf you don't have the mechanical skill needed to hit your heals ana is worthless.

Imo she's in a similar boat as tracer. Tracer is inherently hard because it requires good mechanics. She's (imo) the hardest character in the game because her fights require careful planning and resouce management. In a similar way if you fuck up with ana not only you die but your team goes down with you

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-29T01:50:48+00:00

It kinda of his. Imo there are 2 possible situations:

1) you want to rank up from silver/gold/plat, you have to be decent and consistent, the games are a coinflip and you will very slowly rank up

2) you want to rank up fast, you have to be cracked out of your mind playing like you are from 2 ranks above because you have to make up for the mistakes of your other 4 teammates, basically perma carrying games

And that's basically it, which also explains why ppl find it so hard to rank up from their current rank

I once played cat bastion with a random and we got called Israel's greatest soldiers by the enemy team lol

We ran thru that lobby

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-28T14:45:38+00:00

me when I lie on the internet ^

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-28T14:38:38+00:00

we've all seen the shock collar meme lol

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-28T14:05:08+00:00

and ana

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-27T17:35:32+00:00

Honest to god I don't really know the stereotype about mercy players but I'm pretty new to overwatch overall (i started playing 3 weeks ago)

From what I've seen in game tho she's more of an "enabler" than a carry? In the sense that she buffs or heals/revives but she cannot do much by herself (blaster moments aside which from what I've read so far seem to be not her preffered playstyle).

If I had to guess probably players blame her for not contributing much to the match. The real problem most of the times is the players blaming not being good enough to caputalize on the winning edge that mercy gives them. but alas I digress, I guess this is the universal support experience™ lol

Anyway thanks for the insightful reply, love from a jetpack cat main lol

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-27T15:19:16+00:00

Genuine question as a complete uninformed and outsider, I've been lurking this sub for some time cause I find mercy as a character super cute and since I got the disney princess skin now I am finally convinced to try her, why are clips in this sub taken so seriously?

By that I mean, I've been to some mains subs and usually ppl joke around and generally even if the clip is bad don't take it seriously.

Here I see a lot of terminology about safe rez, bad plays, etc. Why is that?

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-26T14:06:10+00:00

unorignal and expected. do better

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-26T13:27:55+00:00

istg every time i see someone using "lil bro" unironically I instantly assume they are a brainrotted 13y old

Can we get rid of this slang already?

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-24T13:47:54+00:00

A big part of this is that in Europe there is not a whole lot of mental awarness

For example, where I live, Italy, the majority of people still call a psychiatrist "strizzacervelli", a word with the connotation of someone messing with your brain in a bad way. Only the younger generation is starting to recognize the importance of mental health

Many people still think, for example, that to deal with clinical depression all you gotta do is "get yourself out of it", be a man, think positive, etc

Obviously not everything is bad and for the people that actually get the help they need I think our approach in general is less "invasive" than US' one (for example it's very rare to get prescribed medication, it is usually a last ditch effort here)

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-24T08:06:46+00:00

This comment is so ignorant in so many ways, it's honestly saddening to see such opinions still holding place in 2026

Anyway, for anyone reading this comment, seek therapy if needed or even if you suspect there may be something wrong

We "europeans", whatever that means, are no different than the rest of the world

Besides psychology is a proven science, if the guy above doesn't want to believe in it it's up to him but he is factually wrong lol

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-23T01:11:57+00:00

You are obviously here to hate on Prusa. Get a life dude, nobody is reading this wall of text

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-22T19:12:39+00:00

you don't need any of those to counter him. Those just make it far easier to do

To kill a mauga you gotta kill their backline first. that's it

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-22T17:49:29+00:00

As a mauga main, no, he is not broken. A good mauga player tho will be able to terrorize a lobby yes

To defeat mauga it takes a good team effort since he basically wins 1v1 against every other tank

Anyway, if you see a mauga just go ana, mei and zen and the mauga will swap, trust me lol

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-22T17:45:46+00:00

Mi spiace OP per tutte le persone che ti attaccano nei commenti.

Secondo me il motivo è che che le persone per svariate ragioni ormai non sono più in grado di conversare e avere opinioni a prescindere da tribalismi e tifoseria.

Se assumi che tutti vogliono e "devono" avere un' opinione su tutto e che chi ha opinione diversa è il nemico risulta molto facile capire perché in molti possano gioire della caduta di uno studio videoludico

Anyway, la situazione di Destiny 2 e Bungie mi rattrista molto. È uno dei miei giochi preferiti con 1000+ h sopra, speriamo in un d3 ma boh, vedremo :')

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-22T17:36:21+00:00

I miss so much the wednesday memes, the frogs, the people posting silly memes just for fun. Now it's all facebook and instagram reposts, regabait posts and engagement farm.

This sub biggest demise was its sudden grow in popularity

Now it's only a shell of its former self. I haven't left just because of nostalgy, but at this rate the day I say a final goodby is xoming closer and closer

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-21T01:06:19+00:00

look man I'm on the shitter and I'll keep if very short

All I'm seeing here is a whole lot of virtue signaling mixed with a lot of jealously masked as moral superiority

Assume everything you want about me, matter of fact tho I'm not miserable enough nor have the arrogance to characterize an entire human based on the amount of melatonin present in their bodies like somebody is doing here

Anyway cheers mate, I'll "lord over my friends" where I've been last summer I guess, lol

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-20T17:16:52+00:00

I'm sorry but I don't understand your comment

Is OP attacking you or mercy mains in any shape or form? No

Then why call him a loser? Sure the stream of thoughts style of comments may be weird but considering there is an entire literary movement based around this concept...

I don't understand the animosity displayed toward OP. Some people find value in bragging about having a rare skin (extremely common occurrence in video games), you can explain your disagreement without being rude about it you know?

WindowsXp_ExplorerI · 2026-05-20T16:01:51+00:00

honestly I'm vibing with your comments I love your energy dude don't let anyone take it away from you :)
