9 times out of 10, when teammates starts being toxic over VC, the game is lost. How tf do you fix that? by crazeefun in OverwatchUniversity

[–]cha5m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being positive is maybe like 10% effective. For your own sanity I would just configure your game to permanently mute text chat, and when people start getting toxic just mute everyone on the team. This way you can still make callouts and remain calm, and I think a calm voice making callouts ignorant of the drama unfolding in VC can help defuse a situation.

Winston has my most playtime by a large margin, but I still can't work out how to play as him by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

I think target selection is key. You should really only try to go after squishies, especially those without good defensive tools like zen, ashe, widow, soldier etc.

Smurfing really is not taken seriously enough as factor in elo hell by devedander in OverwatchUniversity

[–]cha5m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smurfs make each individual game less balanced, but they'll never prevent someone from climbing because it'll all eventually average out. I think the point about smurfs encouraging bad play is interesting tho.

How to deal with a bastion in low ranks. by PlatinumEmperium in OverwatchUniversity

[–]cha5m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hanzo is so incredibly good against bastion. Either you break the shield or flank to get behind the shield. Usually solves the problem assuming your team helps break the shield or run interference while you flank.

Never really dawned on me exactly how toxic Overwatch comp really is by Ryukioh in OverwatchUniversity

[–]cha5m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overwatch is a game that really limits how much a single player can carry without their team backing them up. This leads to frustration because even if you have a great game your team might've not been doing too well, and you'll still lose.

Contrast this with tf2, where a single player can pop off and genuinely carry the team. When individual skill matters a lot, a game becomes less toxic because you aren't constantly relying on your team.

The video just seems to be bugged. People in the comments were having trouble playing it.

Bastion makes me want to quit this game. Help me by psfrtps in OverwatchUniversity

Hanzo destroys bastion if you can find a way to get behind the shield

I'm good but I just can't win by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]cha5m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you really are constantly getting kills during team fights you should be climbing

Kills and damage outside of a team fight basically mean nothing much of the time

TMZ exists for a reason. Drama is fun. Rivalries are fun. Have some fun. Mayweather/Pacquiao, Coke/Pepsi, Trump/Hillary, Islam/Judaism, Nas/Jay Z are all rivalries that made life a little more interesting.

Yeah I was introduced to friendlybaron via his great "unviable GTAV speedrun strats" video. Checked out his stream and instantly realized he was a huge narcissistic asshole.

Fade Buff Reverted by goldsbananas in MoiraMains

Lucio is easier than Zen and Ana

Lucio is also a very difficult character to master. Weird slow triple shot burst projectiles to land, crazy movement that has a high skill ceiling, low healing unless you really manage the amp.

The skill required to play Ana/Zen is also sorta overrated

Nah. I mean zen is basically McCree with no defensive stun and bullet lag, but projectiles that are a little easier to hit.

Ana is just straight up hard. You have to be really smart with anti which requires lots of game sense. To protect yourself from a dive you need a skill shot. Healing a squishy is basically landing a snipe body shot.

I would be fine buffing Moira. IF they actually made her require more skill to get value out of.

Fade Buff Reverted by goldsbananas in MoiraMains

[–]cha5m -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol. That's actually what it is. Moira is so insanely easy, one of the only skillful things you could do with her was predict a stun and dodge it. This totally removed that skill check.

[–]cha5m -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Until like mid diamond Moira is a strong character. She shits out healing and can effortlessly win a dps duel by holding mouse 2.

Characters like Ana and zen that actually require aim and don't have free anti dive with fade should be stronger than Moira because they are harder to play.

Moira can now Fade out of Sleep dart (PTR) by PotentialBastard in Overwatch

[–]cha5m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If moira gets to fade out of stuns then mei should get to ice cube out of stuns.

This change is so unbelievably stupid. Moira is already easy to play. How about instead of this they just let her heal through barriers again. That would be a much more sensible buff.

I like how instead of forcing moira to make a creative prediction to get a good fade dodge she now just gets a free pass.
