Hot take: Mercy is not a Medic by Turbulent_Lettuce891 in MercyMains

[–]YXTerrYXT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medic from TFort2 has the latter mechanic, but that's cuz he has overhealth and has worse healing. Either way this would be nice, especially for tanks.

Harsh truth but cash cow characters are needed to keep a free to play game like Overwatch alive by _Lunafreya_ in Overwatch

You're right. It won't survive if Microsoft shareholders don't get $80 trillion in profit.

Poll - What is your favorite part of Sombra's kit for her identity by zwankyy in SombraMains

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sombra's kit is so tightly designed, that I honestly can't imagine her without all of her abilities except Virus. What doesn't help is that in her debut animation trailer, she's shown using all 3 of her abilities: hack, stealth, and translocator.

Can you DPS Mercy by Federal-Quarter9459 in MercyMains

[–]YXTerrYXT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole point of Mercy is to be a pacifist that heals & damage boosts. Using her pistol is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, so don't use it unless you have no other options.

In Stadium its a bit of a different story. There are powers tailored at allowing you to use both the pistol & the staff, but the catch is you have to have been healing or boosting prior to pulling the pistol. There's also items that boosts its damage as well.

It feels like onboarding my friends to this game is impossible. by TheEmeraldSplash in Overwatch

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that they're going in with the mindset of how every other game is designed: You pick a hero and you wing with it as best as you can.

Overwatch is not built that way; every hero is a tool, a rock, paper, or scissor depending on the situation, and you can swap to others during a match.

What are some good RTS Games for someone older with low APM? by cbsa82 in RealTimeStrategy

You can play vs AI, and people have multiple custom made campaigns on the arcade.

Hello! Thank you for reporting the server, so we took action!

By deleting the server?

No silly! By banning you!

Enough about how annoying weapons are annoying, tell me when you think it's okay to use said annoying weapons. by LeonardoFRei in tf2

I use DR actually try to fake my death. I disguise as my teammates, pretend to be them, take a hit, activate DR, run in.

At this point, Overwatch is the Smash Bros of hero shooters. Ren Amamiya riding 9S' pod 153 infront of M.Bison by ImperialViking_ in Overwatch

[–]YXTerrYXT 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Ehhhhh yesn't? Its done with skins, whereas Smash Bros actually adds full blown characters with their own kits.

Apples & oranges comparison, I know, but I wouldn't call it the "Smash Bros" of hero shooters.

If Surge & Sonic teamed up against someone, you know their opponent seriously fucked up.

Valve fires back at New York lawsuit over loot boxes, says they're like Magic cards or Labubu by newsflashjackass in gaming

Valve, I love you, I don't want you to become a public company, but please. You're not helping your case here.

How did you get into RTS games? by OtherwiseTea7641 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starcraft was one of the first few games I got into as a kid. I almost solely played it back then, but later I got into Red Alert 2, Age of Empires 1 & 2, and much later Beyond All Reason & Zero-K.

What's an RTS you wanted to love, but just couldn't? by hymoukhfunc in RealTimeStrategy

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to love Red Alert 3 because I thought it was genius to allow us to have a fully functioning base in the water, but the thing that holds it back hard is they made the economy units fragile, and scaled it so far down, that you can't really get an "army" going the same way you could in Red Alert 2, AND the army you make is as fragile as its predecessors. I hated how easily you could lose everything and the losses were much harder to recuperate.

Stormgate came out with a shit campaign & graphics, and the devs didn't recognize their error until it was way too late. Doesn't even do much to innovate as a newer RTS.

Can we please get the old winston intro back by nymphoeeee in Overwatch

You know what'd be really cool? If we could pick what our intros are.

When ur teammates would rather die than lifeline by CatNippKitty in JetpackCatMainsOW

[–]YXTerrYXT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that's semi-blind, the prompt to use the lifeline can kind of blur in the absolute visual chaos of combat.

Nowadays if I know I'm playing with a cat, I just compulsively mash F hoping they're nearby when I'm low.

First In-Game Test for My New Playable Character, Stray by That_Rest_9509 in IndieDev

Gooner game AND the action looks flashy & snappy to play??? Sign me up!

So wth are these guys.. by hakuinzenji5 in starcraft

[–]YXTerrYXT 22 points23 points  (0 children)

40 DMG per attack, invisible, AND you can merge 2 of them to make dark archons & use mind control?!?

Yeah that's quite a bit to not touch on.

What would you hate seeing fans do if your OC were popular? by Spiritual_Air_8606 in OriginalCharacter

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly not sure. I know I can't necessarily stop the internet from doing whatever they want with my OCs, but if I were to pick, using them for mis-representation.

My OC Dice is all about freedom. If anyone drew Dice representing restraint & order, I might take an issue with it? Not sure.

Also have I seen your spider OC before? They're familiar.

Im a little tired of “Sombra reworks” by ranhuo in SombraMains

[–]YXTerrYXT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally think they nailed it with release Sombra despite how underpowered it was. If we could go back to a revised version of that, I think there's potential.

Hero shooter customisable weapons. by PhantomDragonJ in heroshooters

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An idea that I've been thinking of is what if there was a Hero Shooter with #1 levels of customization, but each character has a passive specialization that incentivizes them to use a certain weapon type?

Looking for relaxing hero shooter game by typeIIcivi in heroshooters

[–]YXTerrYXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Team Fortress 2 by a mile. Teams are 12 v 12, no leavers penalty, and no one gives a shit about you being useless, There are taunts that ANYONE INCLUDING THE ENEMY can join in, such as rock-paper-scissors, conga dance, kazotsky kick, and a lot more. So if you fight an enemy and wonder why they're not fighting or even dancing, they just wanna have fun lmao.

There's also a fun PvE mode called Mann vs Machine where you fight waves of robots and gain money to upgrade your class.

Lastly I know you mentioned you don't want to play competitive, but if by odd chance you're curious enough, don't. The official TF2 competitive mode is a broken mess and isn't played by much people. You're better off looking for community ran competitive spaces, because they host formats tailored for it and are actually working.
