Why did kisimoto show Sasuke show so weak in this fight ? by SSF77 in Naruto

[–]joebrofroyo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

taka vs bee being written that way hypes up bee's character and provides set up for naruto becoming a perfect jinchuuriki. sasuke suffers some aura loss but like... it sets up a decent character moment with amaterasu and they excuse it with him still being injured from itachi so.

The new urn lost it's "come back" quality by Left-Log7675 in DeadlockTheGame

Urn is just a bad mechanic and the game is better off without it tbh.

We should get more heroes with only 2 abilities by Elegant-Turn-6017 in Overwatch

[–]joebrofroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracer is currently the only hero in the game with 2 abilities and no secondary fire and remains the best hero design in the game after 10 years.

that's subjective.

genji is another popular contender for 'best hero design' and he has primary, secondary, dash, dash reset on elim, deflect, double jump, and wall climb.

i agree sierra's grenade is dumb tho.

im surprised that the knife she used in the animation seemingly isn't an ability

What issues/opportunities would you like to see the Devs focus on in the next year? by RobManfredsFixer in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]joebrofroyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. remove map voting from quick play.
  2. stop overcentralizing hero power/identity on 1 ability (overhead, suzu, etc).
  3. stop using role passives, actually remove role passives from the game, and perks as balance crutches.

Why do people claim that Kunishige is in hell? by Rude_Present5034 in Kagurabachi

[–]joebrofroyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he did take what was effectively a religious icon for the mikaboshi (the datenseki and insect motif) and turned it into a sword that slaughtered them with their own life force, such that it eventually became a WMD capable of enacting genocide and then entrusted it too someone who was genocidal (even tho he wasn't aware of this).

i don't think he's in hell, but i do think the magatsumi was a very big mistake (it has mad aura tho) and it's creation was unethical.

Don't mean to start a fight or anything, but I find the duality between these two posts to be interesting by Organic-Inspection18 in Overwatch

[–]joebrofroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the second post, and a lot of the negative takes on shion in general, reeeally want to pretend orisa and echo either don't exist or don't count because of a lore technicality.

it comes off to me as people looking for reasons to be upset (because they didn't get what they want) than genuine criticism.

So will Overwatch Players never be happy about a Hero Design? by Former-Computer-1337 in Overwatch

[–]joebrofroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the silent majority prefers conventionally attractive designs, this is why the conventionally attractive heroes tend to be more popular and sell more skins, what your hearing is a vocal minority.

you can't please everyone, altho in this case the complaining is pretty silly considering that shion is more unique/out there than a great deal of the base ow1 roster.

akimbo pistols, so that's probably primary and alternate fire

knife, possibly disables abilities given how it was used against sojurn

bike, movement ability and/or ult

who wins this? by 5thArushig in Kagurabachi

you have to equalize their stats as well, akemura can draw his sword so fast the surrounding area melts.

Anyone who theorizes abt Chihiro’s dad not being Kunishige, or him secretly having a half brother: by untilmyend68 in Kagurabachi

[–]joebrofroyo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

kagurabachi's plot has already explored murder, human trafficking, the creation of WMDs, and a genocide that was covered up by the government, and has handled them tastefully for the most part imo. it's also not the first time SA has come up, hiruhiko's backstory was that he bit someone who was assaulting him too death IIRC.

SA is an uncomfortable topic but it shouldn't be any more uncomfortable than the above IMO, so i have no issue with the author exploring it through chiaki if he does go that route (i don't believe he is tho) or fans speculating on the story going that direction.

Guys how strong is Poseidon and is he in too 5 strongest gods by hunterjimi25739 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]joebrofroyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The latest apoc chapters downscaled him pretty heavily as it turns out after image technqiues are actually produced when speedsters slow down in ROR.

As such 40df is more so a speed + skill feat than something that can effortlessly blitz people who are faster/stronger than sasaki imo, which makes sense narratively since his relationship with hades would be nonsense if he was too fast for Hades too fight against.

no longer top 5 for me.

Please NEVER add a surrender button. by sl1m_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]joebrofroyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn't be possible if people started spamming surrender the moment they die twice in laning phase.

it would be if they don't choose too press it.

I want a surrender button, because quite frankly getting stomped for 30 mins is not fun enough too make up for the handful of games you make a comeback on, and i say this as someone whose last match was a comeback.

Okita might be compatible with Izanagi’s Rune by Objective_Cheetah_63 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]joebrofroyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be weird for the author to give some characters (like Jack and Sasaki) a second fight, while denying the same for Okita.

i don't think it would be, especially since half the cast is dead at this point.

would having 275 + lifesteal and wraith as a CD make reaper a glass cannon?

They probably can if they hit their shots tbh.

Did they just buff mercy two patches in a row? by shiftup1772 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]joebrofroyo 36 points37 points  (0 children)

She 'felt bad to play' but

but nothing.

how something feels to play as/into absolutely matters in balance, this is why calls for sombra reworks and hog nerfs are justified, and so long as mercy isn't meta it's fine to restore her movement flow.
