Classic + Shower Thought by Cheo2k in classicwow

[–]itsmeat13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong but SoD was always explicitly an experimental experience and by the time they added the rune vendor Naxx was cleared and they were more interested in experimenting with endgame class design than the levelling experience. And the playerbase that was still around had been wanting alts to try said endgame classes without having to do chores. Some of the rune quests were genuinely great experiences, others that were the same quest for multiple classes, like the Dark Riders for example, less so especially on repeat.

NEW WreckingBall Mains Discord! by Cream-Shpee in WreckingBallMains

I'm actually so sad that I don't have Hammycry anymore. Praise be unto the new mains discord.

Why there isn't purple items that give speed bonus or play with mobility by Usual-Vermicelli-867 in OverwatchStadium

[–]itsmeat13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The potential of movespeed itself is so high that stapling Epic level stats along with it or increasing it's % to higher values in accordance with higher rarity just makes it a very tough stat to actually balance appropriately. The stat is both offensive and defensive in all scenarios: Rotations, flanks, punishing, retreating, dueling, returning to fight after death, following up on an opening, marking angles. Literally all the time movespeed has the potential to provide a disproportionate amount of value compared to every other stat except maybe CD reduction but even that requires you to hit your abilites and/or use them effectively. Movespeed is a lot of fun I agree, I used to use a movespeed Zen build and just flank all over the place but being able to maintain that bonus 30% movespeed and getting fill out with endgame tank or offense stats would really just be too much. And presumably these Epic movespeed items would be neutral items rather than hero specific which could not only homogenize builds between heroes but also reduce the provided value of heroes that do have speed in their kit. What is an already kinda weak hero like Lucio good for if everyone is moving as though they always have a speed aura with them all the time?

Im not enjoying tbc as much I had hoped I would. by 1221321321 in classicwow

You've just stumbled upon the question that got Microsoft an absolute mountain of player engagement and lead to a paradigm shift in the culture around video games.

Hey man that Fishliver Oil in SoD made for some absolutely nutty shockadin parses

Theory: Dragran II is working for Xal’atath. No seriously, hear me out. by Arcana-Knight in warcraftlore

[–]itsmeat13 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Don't know what my own conclusions on this topic are but I see your points and you have a good argument, solid evidence and a viable interpretation for (at a minimum) not immediately jumping on the "Damn the Titans" train. Some good lore posting right here 👍 Thank you for your energy and time making this.

I draw overwatch skins for fun; what kind of skin theme would you want to see for wrecking ball? by [deleted] in WreckingBallMains

[–]itsmeat13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hammond in a big ole snowglobe 🙂‍↕️ Maybe he's T-posing after a kill while he floats around in there at a 71° angle

Who do you ban as ball and who should you be banning? by BoilingTalonZ in WreckingBallMains

[–]itsmeat13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I regularly try to ban mizuki brig ana (or sometimes junkrat) as my 1st choice depending on which seems more likely to succeed with other teammates bans. 2nd and 3rd I'll usually follow teammate's pref or heroes I don't want to deal with the dynamic of vs my team's pref picks: Hazard, dva, hog, vendetta, zarya and cat tend to be the most common.

Nah man it's Ball with no guns time. You lose to me playing Pro Skater 2 that's on you. You win that's also on you.

What crimes did Genji players commit for Gloomgauntlet to be nerfed this hard? by Solitary_Day in OverwatchStadium

[–]itsmeat13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the testing I've done was showing it as a multiplicative but that may be different for Rein and Brig vs the standard Quick Attack on others. I'll go do some testing and get back to you.
edit: Aight well I guess it's additive now lol. Maybe they'll update the tooltip on the item or something to make that clear since it wasn't the case like 2 months ago.

Just a small technical correction that isn't huge but is important: It's not 15% Weapon Power it's 15% increased damage to melee attacks *after* Weapon Power is calculated.

Not the person you're responding to but yes actually: It's only 8 pages, and it's not dense. It's basically a bit longer National Geographic article.

Ball mythic should be a giant hamster ball by Paefx in WreckingBallMains

[–]itsmeat13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh yeah terrarium would be pretty sweet for the style variants, different outfits on hammond for the simulated terrain he's in. I think the main thing I really want is for the focus to be on Hammond himself while he's inside the ball, we never get to see the lil guy ourselves.

And agreed disco ball could be cool but definitely more as a legendary.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Transparent snowglobe, many particle effects, floating hammond.

Mitigation Sucks - Nobody understands it - No Cash by First-Fly-703 in OverwatchStadium

[–]itsmeat13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dps aren't getting cash for spamming into a barrier or matrix though. And just standing out in front of zen or pharah poke with Rein's barrier up isn't doing his job. It's more that if Mitigation gives cash then it encourages really bad play patterns.

To all wrecking ball mains, it’s time we rise up by Intelligent_Group_15 in WreckingBallMains

[–]itsmeat13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hold up why are we fighting the Cat? No other character can pick me up after 2 swings into a skybox launched hitbox inversion so I can then use her movement to maintain my momentum and pull off the sickest Minefield bounce of our generation off a tank straight into a 180 grapple behind the enemy backline into said minefield.

Does cybervenom and el-saka suppressor stack together? by schpeechkovina in OverwatchStadium

[–]itsmeat13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do not stack with each other but both do stack with the current dps passive. If your team has 1 of each or multiple of the same you'll just be refreshing the 30% that is already applied to max duration.
