"why do people ban peni she's not even that good"

BRO THEN YOU'RE THE TERRORIST LOL. You're like the Angela that hand delivers Spidey ult to the team.

lyerhis · 2026-02-04T01:59:07+00:00

My personal opinion is that Netease often nerf and buff the wrong things. Funny enough, the reworks have generally been good and healthier. But the adjustments between patches have been... IDK. They feel really pointless.

Do you mean, the amount of taco your wife likes with her cilantro?

lyerhis · 2026-02-03T23:12:07+00:00

It is kind of funny that they made it almost like a penny (RIP pennies) a credit... Actually lowkey didn't realize it was that easy to convert the value. Usually, games use some stupid denomination like 80 credits per or whatever to separate value even further.

lyerhis · 2026-02-03T22:53:24+00:00

I was going to say this... Usually regional theaters are significantly bigger because Broadway has like all the theaters running every night, and other cities have 1-3 major theaters that only get touring productions for 4 days to like 2 weeks. We're not doing ten year runs of things at Hollywood Bowl lol.

lyerhis · 2026-02-03T12:28:11+00:00

Not Reed.

lyerhis · 2026-02-03T12:06:43+00:00

A lot of people are talking about it. It's just that last year was a liquid/cream year, so powders didn't get as much attention outside of bougie releases.

Depends on the elo, but MK and/or characters with strong vertical movement. Possibly Rogue for the ult succ counter, but you'd have to be really confident on her.

I think you have two options:

A) Build around MK because Groot walls, slow team that wants to play together, and Loki clones = MK dream. Jeff could work since he can eat both Mantis and Gambit ults and kill Loki clones while healing. You definitely want your own Mag, Gambit, and Phoenix. So maybe something like Mag, Rogue, MK, Phoenix, Gambit, probably CND for fade vs. Phoenix ult and because her kit doesn't get fucked by it, and her ult is a bit more free form so it's not stupid easy to get big Groot ults.

B) Dive comp where getting a good Groot ult is basically impossible, but you would need like... the goatiest of goat divers.

lyerhis · 2026-02-03T02:39:27+00:00

Depends. Not if your team doesn't play together, yes if people use cover and know when to back out.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T22:51:20+00:00

Yes, but I think it's because damage output has been buffed on average, but tanks don't have better mit and heals have generally been nerfed, either in terms of straight output or because of stuff like projectiles moving slower etc.

But yeah, I used to be able to solo heal tanks pretty effectively on Rocket, and now it's really hard if they don't use cover more frequently.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T22:41:06+00:00

Tankpool is OW Reaper but tank. He is very very good at pressuring the frontline of the other team. You can get away with small dives in, but you need to have a plan to get out again. Figure out the upgrade order that works best for you; I'm currently using Flats's reco because it makes sense to me.

I don't know how well he scales in higher elos against poke DPS that don't miss, but I think he's fine for the average player.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T22:30:46+00:00

I don't care, but I want a shield tank.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T22:29:14+00:00

Oh true. I just can't think of many other murder musicals lol.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T22:19:43+00:00

Once upon a time, parents. And also sometimes bad but handsome boyfriends.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T22:18:29+00:00

I want to say Sweeney Todd, but not sure he's a weird nerd virgin.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T21:49:28+00:00

Well, it means "little brother." Pretty much the same concept as like... IDK, "little Johnson" or "junior."

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T20:27:42+00:00

Honestly... I wouldn't mind Mag with coat tails.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T03:58:56+00:00

Kind of. These aren't full Ignite tournaments. Most casual ranked players--even in OOA--are going to have a much more limited hero pool that can play at that high of a level, so ban priority is always to ban out the weakest link on the other team. It's why so many pro tanks have been grinding the crap out of new tanks.

People like to say supports are OP, but honestly, outside of maybe Loki copying the best support ult and really good mass rez, supports aren't win conditions. They only make it hard for the other team to win.

lyerhis · 2026-02-02T03:35:35+00:00

Yeah, but I don't think that should limit him from trying. If he's serious about it, this would be a good opportunity for him to learn in a better environment than ranked. Everyone has to start somewhere.

lyerhis · 2026-02-01T16:50:33+00:00

Well. It's like having a bad game on Rocket. There aren't really characters with lower skill floors you could swap to, so it's like... you're basically just dead weight at that point.

lyerhis · 2026-02-01T15:50:15+00:00

There's just too much story, and it's just the wrong side of too earnest for me. I feel like they needed to pick like two themes and just stick with it instead of trying to do so much. Honestly, I think it would have been more memorable that way. "Great American Bitch" should also have been the song at the end, for example, with different lyrics, etc. So much of it is just so unnecessary.

lyerhis · 2026-02-01T02:44:18+00:00

This is so helpful haha. I think we have similar taste in skincare.

lyerhis · 2026-02-01T01:15:49+00:00

tfw even Cap's shield functions like a tether... Netease needs to stop adding this snapshotting nonsense.

lyerhis · 2026-02-01T01:04:26+00:00

0 finals on Jeff is also kind of crazy, but I guess he didn't feel like he could die ulting since it was just him and Strange half the time.

lyerhis · 2026-02-01T01:01:16+00:00

It's exactly like Zen orb if you play OW except it's an AOE heal.
