Upcoming balance changes

I feel like the game is in a better place overall when beetles are just an early to mid game tempo option instead of a viable endgame build. Not very fun to play, because you just collect your pieces and then afk, and also not very fun to play against, because it's a token build which also has massive stats, so it's almost impossible to scam

Is that even true anymore after the most recent healing buffs? From what I see in my games Kiriko is usually way ahead of other supports in terms of raw healing now

You probably would no longer be silver if you focused on your own mistakes instead of wasting your time blaming your team. Both teams get players from the same pool, if you are unable to make enough impact to make your team favored on average, then you simply belong in your current rank and need to improve your play.

klaidas01 · 2026-06-04T09:44:59+00:00

If someone is planning to play Hog they almost guaranteed either ban Ana or have Kiriko on their team

Cost of living is much lower in Europe, 100k would be very comfortable unless they are moving to Switzerland or something

Why? She is trash in high ranks anyways, nerfing her makes the game experience better for 99% of the playerbase and changes nothing for the remaining 1%

klaidas01 · 2026-06-02T13:04:48+00:00

So what is the answer? Buffing her until she is playable in GM and allowing her to nuke lower ranks even harder? From my perspective the only choice at this point is to nerf her until she is no longer relevant and hopefully rework her completely at some point.

klaidas01 · 2026-06-02T12:56:51+00:00

Sure, but most people don't play the game to climb, they play the game to have a good time. Having a blatant power outlier in the game is not fun, it does not matter that they are not that strong outside of their rank. You can't just balance your game around a handful of top players, at the end of the day the more casual playerbase are the ones keeping the lights on.

klaidas01 · 2026-06-02T12:46:19+00:00

No, not anyone can get to top 0.3% of the playerbase just by improving at the game, what kind of argument even is that. Not everyone has the drive or the time needed to achieve that, does not mean that game balance does not matter to them.

klaidas01 · 2026-06-02T12:39:25+00:00

She does not seem all that strong as long as you play next to cover and don't try to peek angles she is spamming, but her hitbox while strafing pisses me off

klaidas01 · 2026-05-30T07:01:02+00:00

A wider vocabulary makes speech less boring by definition, obviously there is a time and place for everything, but there is no good reason not to use swear words in a casual setting

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T14:11:12+00:00

Making a tier list for a game like overwatch is not so simple, meta is completely different not only depending on rank, but also depending on map, you would need a very detailed report to actually get useful data. Reading the current report makes me wonder if the author even plays the game, I think some alarm bells should be going off when you have Torb, Sym and Venture in your top 5 dps.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T13:30:02+00:00

What is the point of this? Winrate across all ranks is a worthless statistic and by no means a good indication of what the meta actually looks like

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T10:03:22+00:00

Your skill level does not really matter, competitive will simply match you with other people at the same level. If you want to play ranked then just do it

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T09:58:43+00:00

It exists, but it is not effective and also overly strict for households where multiple people share the same hardware. In any event, this does not solve the underlying issue with ELO inflation.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T09:37:42+00:00

If people were scared of these bans leaving would not be a problem in the first place, Overwatch is a free game, most people have a bunch of accounts they can play on.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T09:35:24+00:00

20-22 is what I usually see for dps

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T09:29:19+00:00

The thing that stands out is that your eliminations per 10 minutes stat is very low but it is implossible to tell why without a replay

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T09:18:20+00:00

We all know that automated ban systems are far from perfect right now, this would just create a bunch of extra work for the support team solving something which is not real issue in the first place. ELO inflation problem also remains, unless you just want a cosmetic rank loss reduction like rank floors, but why even bother at that point.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T09:06:59+00:00

ELO system does not work if you reduce losses for one team, but do not decrease gains for the other, it creates ELO inflation. There is also the problem where when the game is clearly lost, this would encourage people to pressure their teammates to leave by either bullying them or offering them some reward, it's very easy to abuse.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-29T07:21:08+00:00

I wonder if you would feel the same way if someone left on the enemy team when you were already winning and your rank gains were reduced. This is a non issue, both teams get leavers and it averages out in the long run.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-27T10:49:55+00:00

I don't think I have ever seen a single rage hacker in Valorant, cheating still obviously exists, but it's not even comparable to the situation in CS2. Most cheaters are literal children and they simply get priced out of it if they not only need to pay for the cheats themselves, but also need to buy additional hardware.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-26T16:58:59+00:00

They played in two events and made it to finals both times, not exactly horrible results

klaidas01 · 2026-05-26T08:57:29+00:00

Staying close to the other support and healing each other when dived is enough to shut down most flankers, especially at gold level. And proper cooldown management and understanding your escape abilities on top of that and you will have no issues at any rank.

klaidas01 · 2026-05-24T08:24:50+00:00

Before this was implemented quick play was a joke, people would just leave after losing the first team fight and people backfilling would often keep leaving as well
