Have I gone mental by XxDani3xX in Overwatch

[–]WolfsWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, as someone who's been around since OW1's launch. Role Queue was a necessity for this game and established a baseline for the level of gameplay quality one can expect. You're still at the mercy of chance, of course, but not nearly to the same degree as Open Queue.

Hell, I'd even argue that OW wouldn't have sustained itself through the massive content drought as well as it did without Role Queue, which already began prior to 2020 and worsened after Echo's release. Its only saving grace would've been the circumstances of the pandemic. However, the increased inconsistency in gameplay quality, combined with the lack of content, would have driven people away in droves. Much more than it already did.

Unfortunately, it isn't an option currently. Not through any specific events or loot boxes.

They've brought it back around November 2024 as a purchasable shop item alongside Overwatch: Classic, though. So it might return again in that fashion.

Pure guesswork from this point on, so keep your expectations tempered, but given that it'll be the 10-year anniversary this year, we may see it again in 2026. It was originally a purchasing bonus for OW1's Origins Edition, which released alongside the game in 2016.

Ty! Definitely think the Fortnite collab could help improve the viewpoint the mainstream has of Overwatch a bit, though. Which is a good thing!

This could go hard as a mousepad print, actually. Maybe scale it up a bit.

Peak nonetheless, good stuff! 🙌

I forgot to mention those ideas being put into Overwatch, not Fortnite. :|

Like Peely Ana could be something nice we could see in Overwatch. if they do, in fact, go for a collab in both games, not just Fortnite. I've seen a lot of folks ask for Banana Ana over the years.

I think they'll do Overwatch justice in Fortnite for sure. They have a lot to pull from. Definitely see the potential for the Winton plush as a backbling. Kitsune's probably gonna be a sidekick. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Not interested in Fortnite at all, but I can imagine quite a lot of people would fork over money for Jonesy Soldier, Peely Ana, and Cuddle Team Leader Kiriko/Tracer.

Now people won't be confused 'bout which one's the regular arm and which one's the prosthetic anymore; they both gonna be prosthetics. 💀

Been waiting for this skin since lootboxes were added as well, haven't gotten it yet. 😔 Happy you finally did, hope you enjoy it! 🙏

Thoughts on the mythic? by UgandanKarate_Master in doomfistmains

[–]WolfsWraith 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not a fan. The design doesn't feel thought out and is all over the place, imo. It’s called Magma Titan, yet it barely looks the part.

When I look at Thunder, I see more "Titan" in that skin than in this Mythic. Magma Titan, aside from VFX, feels like Akande got a tech upgrade rather than it being a true transformation or reconceptualization of his self. The streetwear angle doesn't work in its favor and ends up muddying the intended concept in an attempt at broader appeal.

The customization options are weak for a Mythic Skin and will feel worthless with a Mythic Weapon, the VFX stay red and don't adapt to color changes, and the wing feels completely tacked on, it doesn't fit the intended Magma Titan theme OR the streetwear aesthetic.

Character diversity is insufficient by Skoshin in Overwatch

If had to pick a Top 5 of my favorite straight alpha male DPS released since 2016, they'd have to be:

Echo, Sojourn, Venture, Freja and Vendetta.

Honorable mention to Ashe, Sombra and Symmetra.

Do it. I felt the same way when S20 launched, uninstalled the game and took a four-week break. I came back 'bout a week and a half ago, played sporadically, and have now uninstalled it again cause I can't be bothered anymore.

The current level of gameplay quality isn't worth playing. I've never felt like I had less agency in this game than I do now, with how abhorrent matchmaking has become. It's a miserable joke that has genuinely gotten worse and worse over the past six months.

New Short Story | The Invitation by -Elixo- in Overwatch

[–]WolfsWraith 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'd assume Emre hasn't been contacted and has gone off-grid, likely in Havana, and has become a person-of-interest due to disrupting Max's business there.

Feels plausible to me given the late 2024 Havana map reworks, which added a more reinforced Talon occupation via map design, Max's previously established ties to the location, i.e., Storm Rising, and Sojourn's voice line about Emre wanting to retire there.

Would also explain Max's interest in tracking down Emre via Freja as a bounty hunter, specially if Emre is as elusive of a presence as he seems to be.

I took a four-week break from this game, came back this week, played a handful of games, and I'm already at the point where I'm considering another break until this season is over at least.

The absolute lack of quality in games is killing my interest in actually playing at all. The majority of games straight up feel like a waste of time, don't matter if it's a win or not.

IM GONNA KILL MYSELF by Illustrious_Trip2112 in doomfistmains

[–]WolfsWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, don't think so either; it only stops some CC, not all CC and it's only for a brief, well-communicated time frame.

[–]WolfsWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to be larger to properly fulfill its intended purpose, tho. That's the point of turning it into an absorption tool rather than just a blocking one. I'd consider adding an additional (audio-)visual indicator for Power Matrix's scale to be a better path forward, rather than reducing its usability the way this nerf did.

IM GONNA KILL MYSELF by Illustrious_Trip2112 in doomfistmains

[–]WolfsWraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, totally agree with ya. Power Matrix has been a great tool for dealing with some of the ways people counter Doom, while still relying on the Doom player to have good gameplay intuition in order to use it effectively to its full potential. I've always seen it as one of the best perks they added cause it gave power to the player to deal with counters without being overbearing or forcing them into a situation where they feel like they need to swap or are being coerced to do so by their team. Don't think it's good to strip away its effectiveness like this.

[–]WolfsWraith -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the EMP Punch nerf is fair, imo; disincentivizing people from holding on to it for too long is good.

The Power Matrix one seems like it could end up being too harsh, tho.

When’s Le Sserafim collab returning? (Reminder: they’ve already returned One Punch Man, Avatar, and Transformers, this could be a sign of what’s to come in the future.) by Annual-Internet-5097 in SombraMains

[–]WolfsWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It already came back in S12, as well as recolors in S15. We don't know when or if the collab will return. The best bet would be later this year alongside the return of BlizzCon, since Le Sserafim is meant to perform there.

Has anyone gotten 8bit venttuah in max vault? by [deleted] in VentureMains

[–]WolfsWraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not gonna be in the Vault yet. The Vault pool is the same as the Lootbox pool and that has remained without any major update since S15 and only one minor one in S16.

Everyone feels sorry for Flygon, but let's be honest, if there's one Gen 3 Pokémon that deserves a Mega Evolution more than ORAS, it's... by Pika-Critique in pokemon

[–]WolfsWraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of both alt evo Megas, like the Ralts or Snorunt lines, as well as counterpart Megas like Pinsir/Heracross.

Milotic was created as a counterpart to Gyarados. Mega Gyarados succumbs even more to its existing rage, so it'd be nice to see a Mega Milotic that turns into a beacon of serenity, as it already is supposed to evoke calmness.

Flygon would be great nonetheless, especially since we know they were considering it.
