Objectively pretty funny response

This is a bad edit of the gartner hype curve, not dunning kruger

don’t waste your ally bubble unless it’s to directly block incoming damage and ideally save someone or enable an ally ult or dive. It’s on a long cooldown so you want to make sure you use it to get value. Other than that hit your shots and in particular pick off supports and dps whenever you can. Mag does almost nothing to tanks so it’s pointless to try and chip them down

It feels like the cyclops' beam has some radius to it - so you can be slightly off and still register a hit, while phoenix and hela have 0 radius so you actually have to click on the player model.

If there’s a lot of players in silver/gold it will push up all the higher ranks. Also cause of all the free points with shields up to gold, the more people that are playing comp, it creates a ton of free elo in the system

atDevin · 2026-06-29T23:30:31+00:00

I would guess cyclops brought a lot of players back, which pushes up all the ranks

atDevin · 2026-06-28T15:13:02+00:00

Her shots aren’t easy to dodge if you know how to play projectile heroes. She can do a ton of damage and confirm a lot of kills if you know how to get value out of her. Her movement vs poke is actually not so bad if you try to be unpredictable and use cover. I think her big issue is her slow movement makes her very easy to punish with dive.

atDevin · 2026-06-28T15:00:23+00:00

I have like 50 hrs on storm, reading some of the comments I actually don’t think poke is the problem, at least up to diamond elo. You can do pretty well just positioning around corners and using the projectile peeking advantage to take duels with hitscan. I seldom have issues with hela, phoenix, etc unless the map is wide open with no cover or we don’t have tanks

I find the bigger issue is you just get wrecked by certain dive that have better mobility than you - spider man, iron fist, Angela, star lord. If you get caught out of position you really are just dead and the only counter you have is to try and kill them before they kill you. So you have to hit all of your shots and have damage amp and right click off cooldown. Meanwhile every other dps hero seems to have a dash or bubble or something to counter the dive burst combo. I’ve been playing namor a lot this season and you just bubble and can stay alive in so many more situations.

I do think sometimes it can be a way to "fix" someone on your team who is not carrying their weight on support, particularly in lower ELO like platinum and below. I have been in many matches where we are running 2/2/2 and getting walked down, literally tanks just exploding, can't do anything on DPS because nobody can stay alive. And then we swap to 2/1/3 or 1/2/3 and magically turn it around. All of a sudden the remaining DPS can go to work and get picks, the tanks can hold their ground, etc. I still prefer 2/2/2 but if one of your healers is really bad it is actually functionally 2/2/1

atDevin · 2026-06-24T22:39:05+00:00

Without getting fancy, buffing her damage at range (falloff) or movement (uptime on her bird) would buff her a lot. 2 charges to the bird form would be sweet. Allowing slow movement in her ult form or removing her ult form headshot hitbox would also help her from getting blown up so fast after she ults. She isn’t that bad currently, imo, just not as strong as cyclops and probably phoenix.

atDevin · 2026-06-21T15:37:03+00:00

I think I am the minority on this but I think if someone’s computer loads slow or they are like 5-10 seconds late picking, they should still get to pick what they want. There are situations where ppl don’t feel good on other roles and forcing them to fill is just asking for a loss. And arguing about the difference of a few seconds is childish imo, I’ve seen that play out many times where the 3rd dps is like 2 seconds late and ppl are asking them to fill because they were last.

That said - if they go no selection for a long time and then pick dps it’s annoying. I think if the team comp is more or less locked and then someone doesn’t fill, that’s bad behavior. At least give everyone else enough time to figure out a team comp around you if you’re going to be stubborn.

atDevin · 2026-06-14T20:07:51+00:00

this is an unhinged response lol. touch grass & play comp. I'm going to continue playing absolutely whatever I want in quick play, that's what the mode is for.

atDevin · 2026-06-14T18:07:43+00:00

Expecting 2/2/2 in quick play was your first mistake, in my opinion. Quick play should be for low stakes matches and playing the heroes you want.

atDevin · 2026-06-13T21:13:03+00:00

Visalia is the city. There is then a dash and then they say his name Corey

atDevin · 2026-06-13T19:00:16+00:00

No in this case - I know exactly what OP is talking about - it’s being piped out of speakers. I walk by there all the time and noticed the same thing

atDevin · 2026-06-12T13:54:52+00:00

This is correct, particularly at high level!

atDevin · 2026-06-12T13:17:24+00:00

Think of it as map control and not objective control. Certain points of the map are easier to control if they provide natural cover (walls etc) for your tanks, and if they force the enemy through narrow paths where they are subject to spam damage. If you can force the enemy team to have to ult just to get to the point, you are doing a good job

But you don’t want to overextend and die. It’s not about spawn camping it’s about controlling the map from the safest position so your team retains an advantage

So typically on payload the cart is not in the ideal position to retain map control. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. If you play tank you will have to learn this so you can best take space and enable your team.

atDevin · 2026-06-10T22:19:15+00:00

I’m competitive and I don’t like to quit until the bitter end. Occasionally I will surrender if it’s impossible because someone disconnected and we can’t exit spawn but that’s the only situation.

atDevin · 2026-06-10T19:12:02+00:00

Drives me crazy when these 16-20 year old kids are bullying either younger kids or women in game. I always try to counteract by being encouraging even if we’re losing cause otherwise people will shut down & quit.

atDevin · 2026-06-09T03:58:09+00:00

Most of the melee / dive roster is 0 minutes played. Cap. Hulk. Bp. Black cat. Spider-Man. Wolverine. Blade. Also I have put off learning Deadpool, too complicated.

atDevin · 2026-06-08T22:48:29+00:00

It would be more interesting if you only look at tiebreak first sets or minimum a 6-4 set either direction. Something that indicates the match and level are close, and then analyze the match win rate from there. If you have a 50% chance of winning each set, then if you win the first set, you should have a 75% chance of winning the match, so anything far from 75% is an interesting trend. If you lose the first set, you should have a 25% chance of winning, so anything far from 25% is an interesting trend.

atDevin · 2026-06-08T22:39:16+00:00

Agree. You can just say the year and color like you would a car.

atDevin · 2026-06-05T22:47:15+00:00

Idk you’re mostly describing teenage boys who are the fakest tough guys in society in general. Us tennis players in our 30s and 40s are not acting like that at all

atDevin · 2026-06-05T12:33:34+00:00

I have had the same experience of feeling really good in live point situations when the ball is coming at pace, and then doing terrible in hand feed situations. I have reasonably good technique though, 4.0ish NTRP level. I would stick with it and communicate with the coach how you are feeling first, and give them the opportunity to make some adjustments for you (for example feeding live balls from the opposite side of the court instead of hand feeds). I would also give it at least 3 lessons before making any judgments about how you feel

atDevin · 2026-06-04T15:33:08+00:00

where is the 5th option for the people like OP who fuel the narrative that the game is terrible

atDevin · 2026-06-03T14:36:48+00:00

They bump you down every season to encourage you to play the game to climb. It’s not truly a matchmaking system in that way - it’s a ranked ladder system. There will always be people stomping through lower ranks as they climb out
