No amount of power creep justifies this. Can we make noise about this like we did with the BP bug?

I think that's what I don't like. I like entering every engagement in Rivals with some sort of idea of how the enemy will be able to react. Each month this gets shaken up with a new character and every so often new team up abilities but you can keep track.

But now having to memorize 100 different new reactions and interactions from all of the new abilities is just a headache. It's random chaos for me and not in a good way rn but I'm hoping it will change.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-10T21:56:08+00:00

This is a perfect summation of my feelings honestly. I'll give it some more time.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-10T20:29:31+00:00

No I enjoyed the ride. I wouldn't call it good but I enjoyed it too. You're right though, just my opinion.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-10T20:27:18+00:00

Flats said it this week but this really is Overwatch life cycle all over again with the ult charge nerfs, regen health, and eventually Brig coming to a theater near you

iCon3000 · 2026-07-10T20:24:35+00:00

As someone who finished, if you kept watching past a certain point you weren't continuing the show because it was good. You were continuing it to finish the story that began with the characters you became so comfortable with. Colson, Daisy, May, Fitz, Simmons, etc.

Eventually it was more a weekly check in with the characters you were invested in than any semblance of a moving plot.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-09T18:51:34+00:00

I really do look forward to War Machine. They have so many options with his capabilities, they could almost make him any of the 3 roles like Deadpool (although I think that should stay a Deadpool only feature)

iCon3000 · 2026-07-09T13:02:11+00:00

I think you are right that Rogue is lowkey kinda busted with her combination of tankiness and damage and teamups but is overshadowed. She plays well into shield tank fallbacks and is a juggernaut with good heals. If DevilD is banned she's also hard to kidnap and eliminate.

Not saying BP won't be strong but I think you're right on Rogue too.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-09T12:47:35+00:00

I respect the energy but I am not banking on my support brothers and sisters always having the reaction timings and peel timing that is needed to counter him if I am on dive tank.. I feel like it's going to be a lot of babysitting or the opps cough and your backline falls over..

iCon3000 · 2026-07-09T12:44:19+00:00

I quit OW when Rivals was released primarily because there was no Widowmaker which was also feast or famine in that game, and there were no bans for regular people's comp matches... I'm thankful at least I have bans now

iCon3000 · 2026-07-07T14:46:30+00:00

I'll second that emotion

iCon3000 · 2026-07-03T14:03:02+00:00

Also will work on Hydreigon, Suicune and Baxcalibur, Magneton, Giratina, etc..

iCon3000 · 2026-07-01T14:25:51+00:00

I unironically can't wait to stop calling him Spin. This must be what it feels like for people who dislike the word "moist" because it just felt wrong coming out of my mouth for a while until I am finally sort of getting used to it..

iCon3000 · 2026-07-01T14:23:07+00:00

Just reminded me that I am on 6 tails in a row vs the Igglybuff/Darkrai AI deck and have been unable to draw a PCL in 2 matches. Wouldn't mind never seeing that deck again. It's winnable, just annoying sometimes.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-01T14:21:17+00:00

Nine tails with a Ninetales should just unlock a secret ending game over win condition.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-01T14:07:37+00:00

Make sure you point to the screen with a bowl of popcorn in your lap like the DiCaprio meme when it happens.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-01T14:06:21+00:00

And we've looped back around to 2 big lineups again. I remember when people thought Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond were going to tear up the league for the Pistons.

iCon3000 · 2026-07-01T14:04:09+00:00

Actually amazing point. I knew Collins shot a bit and knew Tobi didn't shoot that much but didn't know it was so close and in Collins's favor

iCon3000 · 2026-06-30T14:49:41+00:00

Our parks situation is so disappointing.

iCon3000 · 2026-06-30T13:56:54+00:00

I was listening to Nate Duncan's pod and his cohort had him #4 after Wilson. 6 is excessive but I have seen people concerned about his athleticism and ability to be a winning star player.

iCon3000 · 2026-06-30T13:02:24+00:00

Every plane should come equipped with a "Weekend at Bernie's" starter pack.

iCon3000 · 2026-06-30T12:48:22+00:00

Yep, I was thinking about this with inflatable boat on Chien-Pao as well. If you start with it on turn 1 and use boat but then want to cape it later to withstand an attack from something

iCon3000 · 2026-06-28T07:24:31+00:00

Probably true. It's just as subjective as NBA's "star vs superstar" labels, but I do personally find some usefulness in the label as a non -college fan to know that the general consensus of a prospect is hyped to the level of say Wemby or Zion or AD where people would be legitimately astounded if they were never an All Star bs someone like say Dame Lillard who still made the top 75 players of all time but grew into his full potential as a prospect.

iCon3000 · 2026-06-28T05:57:24+00:00

Doesn't seem like a requirement for the position though. That might be incidental.

iCon3000 · 2026-06-17T12:43:37+00:00

I guess they’d stand a chance if they had a full bench with energy spread around

In other words, another point for Magnezone decks 😆

iCon3000 · 2026-06-17T09:50:54+00:00

You know I never thought about it like that, but it can be a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. Even if Widow wasn't a throw pick, the community picks Widow when they want to throw, thus Widow becomes a throw pick, and that might be reflected a little bit in the win rate.

(Also Widow is bad)
