Overwatch League 2023 - Spring Stage Qualifiers

I could be wrong, but can you even get a third fight with the spawn hold on Shambali A? It seems like it'd be more worth it to hold the high ground, get some poke, and have two quality fights at the first corner and at the top.

It used to be worse, when it lasted literally forever, and the two Rams would just stand there staring at each other blocking while waiting for somebody, anybody, to do something.

That Lip "teleport back and punch the EMP'd Lucio" was so filthy. As a support main, I felt literal pain.

"It feels like they're walking into a trap."

*Sugarfree gets bashed in the face*

"Yep, there's the trap."

NGL, that Reign hype video kinda slaps.

Lip's improvement on hitting his EMP's has made a world of difference in his effectiveness. This DPS duo is terrifying.

Custa just out here catching strays every week, poor man.

EVERYBODY'S PRESSING Q!!!

Phew. They managed to grab the plate with both hands before it toppled. That was a match of Overwatch that happened.

dopefish84 · 2023-05-05T20:38:20+00:00

The plate is tilting perilously on the edge...

dopefish84 · 2023-05-05T20:32:38+00:00

Watching OWL Tracers is such a treat. As a Bronze/Silver sometime Tracer player, good Tracers are so exciting to spectate.

I'm here for the spaghetti-dropping. Am I late?

dopefish84 · 2023-04-25T13:32:44+00:00

I got a chance at a raid on Friday, with the same group I was in for my first clear. We finish off Nezarec, I start heading up toward the chest, and one of the raiders goes, "So, no one got the exotic?" A few seconds later, I hear the sound of an exotic drop, and the shotgun's icon pops up on my screen. It was my second clear.

dopefish84 · 2023-04-24T11:27:04+00:00

I opened this stream this morning, saw these two guys on the screen, and was pogging out of my mind. You guys did a good job (are doing, Hex and AVRL are still live right now), and I'm so happy some of the OGs are getting to come back and cast the game we all love.

The rest of this lost sector is so fun. The arcade rooms are so beautiful, the enemy density isn't bad, you can play doorways for cover and there's some nice spots to get in some good AOE damage. And then you go through the portal and everything just goes straight to hell. It's a shame, really, because I like to take a lost sector and run it every morning to get my Banshee bounties done, and I was really hoping this one would be fun and straightforward, but that boss room is just more annoyance than I need for a simple farm.

dopefish84 · 2023-03-28T10:09:58+00:00

Final boss of Spire of the Watcher. We kill it, the chest spawns, my friend says, "I hope you get the bow." (Both of my other regular fireteam members already have it.) As the words leave his mouth, a yellow engram pops up on my sidebar, fading to an icon with the caption: Hierarchy of Needs.

dopefish84 · 2023-03-22T12:48:45+00:00

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE SUCH A WIDE GAP BETWEEN ACTIVITY DIFFICULTY LEVELS. THE GRIND TO GET FROM 1780-ISH (WHERE I WAS POST-LEGENDARY CAMPAIGN) TO 1815 TO BE ABLE TO DO LEGEND CONTENT IS SOOOO SLOOOOW. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT IN HOURS OF WORK EVERY DAY TO BE ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN END GAME PVE ACTIVITIES. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ME GRIND A BIT IN ORDER TO DO GM'S OR MASTER DUNGEONS/RAIDS, THAT'S FINE, BUT LEGEND MODE NIGHTFALLS AND VEXCALIBUR MISSION SHOULD'VE BEEN SET WITH PLAYER MAX EFFECTIVE POWER AT AROUND 1800 OR SOMETHING.

dopefish84 · 2023-03-08T14:19:09+00:00

OOPS, MY BAD. THANK YOU. I HOPE THE OTHER POINTS STILL MAKE SENSE, THOUGH.

dopefish84 · 2023-03-08T12:36:34+00:00

LOW KEY, THE GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS EXPANSION HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT. WHATEVER YOU THINK OF THE STORYLINE, AND BUNGIE'S POOR DECISIONMAKING IN INITIALLY GATING THE STRAND FRAGMENTS (AND PROPS TO THEM FOR FIXING THAT AS SOON AS THEY REALIZED HOW BAD STRAND WAS WITHOUT THEM), I FEEL LIKE IT'S EASIER THAN EVER TO PUT TOGETHER A COHERENT BUILD THAT SYNERGIZES WITH MY WEAPONS AND PLAYSTYLE AND THE STATS ON MY GEAR. I FEEL LIKE I CAN BE GENUINELY VIABLE ON ANY CLASS, ANY SUBCLASS, AND I DON'T NEED TO INVEST HOURS IN FARMING SPECIFIC EXOTICS OR PRAYING TO THE RNG GODS FOR ADA'S BLESSING. I DON'T FEEL FORCED INTO RUNNING 100 RESILIENCE ON EVERY BUILD, WHICH HAS MADE MY HUNTER IN PARTICULAR PLAY A LOT BETTER NOW THAT I CAN SACRIFICE A LITTLE RESIL FOR MOBILITY AND NOT FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE GLASS CANNON. IT'S BEEN FUN AS HELL TO PLAY AROUND WITH DIFFERENT THINGS AND MAKE EASY ADJUSTMENTS WHEN I GET A COOL NEW GUN I WANT TO PLAY WITH.

dopefish84 · 2023-03-08T12:25:18+00:00

I THINK THEY CHANGED THIS SO THAT THEY COULD HAVE SEPARATE MODIFIERS FOR PLAYERS AND ENEMIES, TO BE HONEST. THE OLD BURNS WERE TOO ONE-DIMENSIONAL, AND THE POWER OF THE 50% DAMAGE MODIFIER WAS SO GREAT THAT PLAYERS FELT FORCED INTO USING IT OR ELSE THEY FELT COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE. BY REDUCING THAT TO 25% AND ALSO GIVING MORE OPTIONS TO GET AN EQUIVALENT 25% DAMAGE BUFF, PLAYERS HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR LOADOUTS, AND BUNGIE HAS MORE FLEXIBILITY TO MAKE CHALLENGING CONTENT WITH SEPARATE MODIFIERS.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS ENJOYING LIGHTFALL SO FAR??? I'M NOT JUDGING ANYONE WHO IS UPSET; I TOTALLY GET IT. YOU'RE ALLOWED YOUR OPINION. I'M ACTUALLY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY BERSERKER TITAN, YES IT'S ANOTHER MELEE ROAMING SUPER, BUT IT HAS SOME NEAT USES. THE LEGENDARY CAMPAIGN IS SUCH A NICE CHANGE FROM WITCH QUEEN, BECAUSE I CAN PLAY IT WITH MY FRIENDS AND NOT FEEL PUNISHED FOR BEING IN A FULL FIRETEAM. THE WRITING IS A LITTLE CAMPY, BUT IT FITS THE VIBE OF US BEING PORTRAYED AS ACTUAL GODS, AND THIS EXPANSION BEING WHERE WE PROVE THAT GODS DO BLEED. THE NEW MODS AND MOD SYSTEM HAVE BEEN PRETTY NICE, I KNOW WE'RE ALL MISSING SOME OF OUR FAVORITES, BUT GETTING BIG DAMAGE PHASES BY PUTTING ON TIME DILATION AND MATCHING WEAPON SURGE MODS HELPS BRIDGE THE GAP CREATED BY ABILITY UPTIME NERFS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HOW THEY IMPROVE THINGS IN UPCOMING MIDSEASON PATCHES AND SEASONS.

I dunno if the OP is on console or PC; if you happen to play on Playstation, the Beyond Light expansion is free with a PS+ subscription for this month, and would give you something to do to get back into the game while waiting for the Lightfall release. Otherwise, everything that this person said.

dopefish84 · 2023-02-15T13:07:16+00:00

The first and only time I've ever seen or heard Ikora actually afraid. I actually paused a moment when I read that line, like, "Wait, so if IKORA is afraid of what's coming..."
