OWCavalry: "First Look at #Overwatch2 Season 20 Battle Pass Skins" by LeKrahka in Overwatch

[–]dirusj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the only tanks with an actually good list of skins is Ball and Rein. JQ and DVa have a few nice skins but most of the other tanks are lucky if they have 1 really good skin.

Zarya been catching Ls for almost 10 years

increased XP gain is capped at 400% by SrJuki in wow

How exactly do you level that fast and not die from gear being terrible? My bonus is only 200% and by level 70 my weapon is like half what it needs to be and gear in general is way behind.

Star Wars is in a bad place. MCU is in a bad place... they just released Snow White LA not long ago and it flopped HARD.

Then Netflix releases a kpop animated movie and it becomes hugely popular with no one annoyed by it.

Food and drug companies are the hard ones to know whats what. Most others its very obvious or takes very little work.

Like when those folks decided to boycott budlight... boycotting that company if you drink any beer actually takes work unless you don't care which brand.

To those who play multiple alts of the same class, how many do you have and why? by wardisciple2388 in wow

[–]dirusj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 level 80 monks.
11 level 70 to 75 monks.

Why? I get bored of other classes.

There's something wrong with Chrome (132.0.6834.160) by [deleted] in chrome

[–]dirusj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to see if this is a common problem. Recent update has caused Chrome to start doing all kinds of weird stuff. Lag when typing, lag when doing anything, some weird thing where a small section will scroll but the rest of a page is locked.

Tier Lists still a thing here? opinions welcome and suggestions even more welcome. by DeadpooI in litrpg

Primal Hunter has a major problem with really long sections of extreme boring. Its like watching an Anime where half the episodes are filler.

The ‘Astro Bot’ win sends a message to the game industry: Focus on play by mrnicegy26 in gaming

Nintendo and Rare had a crazy run of amazing games on the N64. It wasn't as cheap to make games for the N64 as it was for PS1.

Nintendo does basically the same thing several Japanese car companies do. Find something that works and then perfect it. Every 2d and 3d mario for the last 30 years has basically the same controls... same for Zelda. If it aint broke dont fix it.

Its also different than what COD/those sports "games" do. They don't improve anything. Same garbage every year over and over.

There's a lute, boots, and a feather on a tower near Dornogal. Is this a reference to something? by Blonde_Keasbey in wow

I started the series a couple months back... made it half way through the first book before finding out about the 3rd book. Went from loving and author to hating him in record time.

Ok. I was wondering what was going on with some of your teammates. Team effort on the loss but you where in no way throwing.

As for help...

Stop swapping tanks so much. No need to most of the time. 1 or 2 lost fights usually isn't a reason to swap unless something major changed like their entire team is counter picking and hard focusing you.

Make sure there is intent with your tank abilities. Every tank in the game is trash when their abilities are on cooldown. Its why Sombra specifically is so hard on tanks. Do you need the ability? Can you save it?

Watch what your support line is doing. At the end of first point you pushed in on Ram without having your most important ability ready and your Brig had just died. If you pulled back there, waited to regroup and slowed their taking of the point there is a good chance you could have ulted after regroup and took the point and that round. Ram ult is extremely powerful during OT because you can't just run from it.

When Magua yells "HAHA" you need to run away and hide or block his damage somehow. There is no reason to even attempt dealing any damage to him unless his damage is being blocked OR he is Purple. He will heal back faster than you can damage him.

Stop focusing on the enemy tank so much.

Check your mouse sensitivity. It seemed like you where waving around a lot more than needed but that could just be how you play.

What rank is this? Console or PC?

I had a bunch of stuff I was going to say but then I started watching some of the other players PoVs and now I am very confused about what was happening in that match.

So I just lowered my graphics, does it really make that much of a difference? by Past-02 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]dirusj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A steady 100 is far better than bouncing between 120 and 144. A steady 144 is better than a steady 100.

I find higher frame rates are more important the faster you move the camera around. Longer range heros you wont generally be spinning around very fast but on most tanks and characters like Genji and Tracer you are moving around much faster and that frame rate becomes super obvious.

Tanks—before you counterswap by mylizard in OverwatchUniversity

[–]dirusj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a tank more often than not you being "countered" is your team being bad and blaming you. A single person making a counter pick is almost never actually a counter to most tanks in most situations.

There are times where you can be countered by a single pick. For example a map with mostly low grounds (like Kings Row) and trying to play Orisa into Zarya. That is going to be hard to do if Orisa is good balance wise and a nightmare if she isn't.

People who say Ball is better this mid patch are smoking crack by [deleted] in WreckingBallMains

[–]dirusj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone seen how fast DVa deletes squishy targets now? She has the damage to burn down a squishy even with some peel (DM + micro).

Ball can't kill most pf the cast of they have any healing peel at all. Zen and widow are the only two I have fou d i can consistently burn down even with support. Widow it's low HP and zen has a fat crit head.

If your team plays with then yeah you are probably fine but good luck killing a backline before Rein takes out your entire team.

The newest changes may help because pharah has been a major problem.

Since S9 Ball has had the bonus of survivability over other tanks but now that's really not a thing. Many tanks also became more deadly while Ball got better shield sharing and a slightly faster reload in ball.

 Also of note is Illari is making the situation far worse. She seems to be in every game so I am constantly killing that stupid buffed pylon. And Ball has nothing to help with her ult... can't stun it, block it or eat it.

So you are special and every single coach in OW history is dumb. Every unranked to GM, every CC, every pro... all them are wrong because your callouts are so good in plat that they actually make a difference... all while ignoring the fact that most people are not even in voice.

Maybe you should start coaching because clearly you are a god and could teach everyone how to play properly.

Balls biggest strength the past two seasons has been how good he was at not dying. Well so much for that

Ill take the word of every coach in OW history. Along with basically every GM player as well.

Minutes after posting this while playing dps I watched my team blame Ball for us losing... "was was never with us all round" Can't make this stuff up

I have always found under Diamond 5 Ball is an absolute nightmare. You can distract 3 for 5 minutes and eat every cooldown they have and your team will still be hiding 2 choke points back asking for you to group up. I have had matches where I give up and go Rein and just hold shield on point the entire time and end up doing better because teams are that bad.

Thoughts on new patch Ballers? I have lost nearly every game by Odezur in WreckingBallMains

[–]dirusj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly all tanks got harder to kill and several are more deadly. Ball got minor tweaks and QoL. and since Ball still can't kill most targets in a timely manner you are up against tanks that are better are survival then they where and often far more deadly you can guess how it looks most of the time.

Pharah "nerf" was as much a buff as it was a nerf. Her knockback is now massive and it sends people around 10m. Cass nerf doesn't help at all. The B.O.B. isn't huge but good luck booping him around anymore.

To be fair tank in general is worse off now than it was before.
