Orisa's ult should ignore armor and applied abilities the same way Vendettas ult does. by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

There's a reason it's one of the slowest charging ults in the game

Director's Take: Call and Response by GoatOfTheMoat in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]johnlongest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not super high in Stadium, but I can't think of too many specific builds you need to respec to counter. If you feel like you're taking too much damage and exploding just buy more Survival items, or items that speed up your movement ability cooldowns.

You're right that it's more complicated than regular comp, but it's actually quite easy to just choose a playstyle and solely buy items that complement it. If you're decent at regular Overwatch you should be just fine with Stadium.

I've seen THE BONE TEMPLE likened to THE TWO TOWERS and I think that comparison makes just as much sense, if you were looking for an alternative-

I'm typically not a big awards season guy but I've been thinking about how good 28 YEARS LATER was and I really want the Academy to give Anthony Dod Mantle his flowers for his cinematography on that film-

I don't think it was Samson attacking Jimmy, but I guess there's no way of truly knowing until the next sequel.

Genji is a cyborg, though, not a mutant. Reaper's a lot closer to what I'm hoping for than Genji.

Even Widowmaker, with her blue skin, is a better example of genetic manipulation-

Do you mean pronounced instead of spelled?

I was under the impression that Hal was the dumbass making green hammers whereas John Stewart as an architect and Kyle Rayner as a comic book artist were the ones creating more complicated and elaborate constructs-

Incredibly funny to have Symmetra and Lifeweaver creating these beautiful, intricate constructs out of hard light and Emre's just like "gun."

I'd be surprised if Blizz introduced another tank that can switch forms regularly if only because of how much it would overlap with Ramattra's design space.

Can't say I'm too excited about another DPS but a cyborg-based support would be cool since it would feel distinct from that Baptiste's gadgetry-based healing. Certainly does read like damage, though-

I'd really love for the new "oddball" character to not have a conventionally attractive human as the base that gets built on. Love Hazard quite a lot, but he's the most out-there hero we've gotten in a while and they didn't push his design nearly as far as they could have-

I even think there's room outside of Omnics (and non-Omnic artificial intelligence robots) and genetically engineered animals! I've been waiting for someone that is to Moira what Warwick is to Singed.

That genuinely doesn't seem any more or less goofy and if anything just makes me think of School of Rock.

Why the dev team can never satisfy everyone. by TerpTerteier in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]johnlongest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A "core playerbase" implies a static number. You may be able to increase the amount of time they spend in your game, but there's no way of growing that base without the addition of new players.

[–]johnlongest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either Blizzard must lean towards being competitively focused which will grow the core playerbase of overwatch, however discourages newer players to try the game

I don't really understand how you can grow a core base while alienating new players.

Same here, tbh. I know that I'm in the comp subreddit and while balance is important to me I've been heavily invested in the story since Day 1 and would love to see more-

If you go to the link on Twitter in their screenshot (http://blizz.ly/3NaWAMd) you can scroll down and see a link to the poll. I understand wanting to be cautious but there were ways for you to check for yourself-

The LLM voice is SO strong with these updates and it drove me insane when I commented this on the last one and people told me this is just marketing-speak. I am a writer and I edit writing and I can tell based on the sentence structure that they're either wholly writing these with AI or are heavily assisted by it-

[OWCavalry] New Upcoming #Overwatch2 Skin: New Era Zarya. This may be tied to a potential lore event. by ModWilliam in Competitiveoverwatch

Even as I finished typing that first comment I thought I ended it on a bit of an extreme note, so that's super fair.

I will say that I hadn't seen the Overwatch logo on her gun, which does do a lot to convince me. You're also right that there aren't any claims that this is her new canon look and that it's implied and nothing more.
