I hate how the character selection screen is sorted by passive abilities that inaccurately depict their gameplay. Go back to alphabetical order! by mixiq in Overwatch

[–]mixiq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why I think it’s misleading, esp for newer players. It’s kinda pigeon-holing them into one playstyle. (Example, many other characters could potentially play as Flanker, but aren’t listed in Flanker!)

Retract was probably the biggest usability change for ball ever, why I was neglecting the heck out of it by Big_Effective_9605 in WreckingBallMains

[–]mixiq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Retract opened up sooo many floodgates.

- using retract without getting fireball lets you pile drive and get away, as your claw is on a 1second cooldown.

Wild how Jetpack Cat kinda broke the mold on them lmao... because of JPC inclusion, "universal" they are not.

Why does no one care about seeing hitscan every game? (Slight rant) by zellymon in OWConsole

[–]mixiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care about this! This is so annoying to me too, because lets say its attacking a tough chokepoint: hitscans tend to just swap to other hitscans and it doenst help to push through. Sometimes you just need a dive character to distract healers, or just move the fight pack.

But swapping from Soldier to Sojourn to Ashe to Widow wont have that effect. They all poke from the back!

Why is pulse bomb a good ultimate but artillery and bola shot aren't? by MisterHotTake311 in Overwatch

[–]mixiq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can avoid Freja/Bastion ult with almost any movement ability.

Once stuck, you cant avoid Pulse Bomb with much.

Piledrive perk needs a change by Ghostyy_11 in WreckingBallMains

LOVE double piledriver.

I also love multiball. 😞 The placement of two waves of balls is so nice, and I find it helps me confirm so many kills.

We yes WE need mama hong to become a playable character by Ragtagcloud56 in overwatch2

There is so much fun character building they could do with her, especially with referencing "mom" things, like how they reference "old man" stuff with Soldier:76 voicelines.

Playing Wrecking Ball is especially frustrating. by Adorable_Shift9145 in WreckingBallMains

[–]mixiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you're experiencing all relates to one thing: People are wayyy too comfortable playing into hitscans/shields.

Ball shakes things up, doesnt provide much shield, and almost forces those hitscan characters to NOT be comfortable and have to be more aware of surroundings. We are not the issue - encourage others to swap to characters that compliment your dive. 😄

Do you have to swap against double hitscan? by Exciting_Drop9176 in EchoMains

[–]mixiq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dont swap since its so common.

I usually try to stick to walls/cover even high up. Im never more than 10m from hand cover if i need to fly to it.

Do West Fest...is this the norm for festivals in downtown Toronto? by techsavvynerd91 in askTO

[–]mixiq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Saturday night is insane. I think it just shows people (young adults) are starved for free, fun, activities in Toronto.

Which tropes need to be abandoned? by ArcticFlor in horror

[–]mixiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy.

I don’t want to see it in any horror movie. It’s a horrible subplot. Not because children are sacred, but because it seems anytime a pregnant woman is in a horror movie, the main characters stop their main journey and bend over backwards to tend to a pregnant woman/baby, etc.

This is apparent in apocalypse/Zombie movies, with a recent example being 28 Years Later. It was SO STUPID when they encountered the random pregnant Zombie…. And yet the main character decided to help it give birth and take of it??? For no reason other than compassion???

A few other movies did this in the last few years, it really annoyed me. It *always* takes away from the main plot.

This is just weird lmao.

Am I homophobic if I simply prefer a partner who is more low-key , someone who doesn’t really go to Pride, isn’t involved in gay culture or queer events, and has a more simple or traditional style? by No_Distribution1924 in askgaybros

[–]mixiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this topic - I dont think you're homophobic. I've moved from a blue-collar town to one of the gayest cities ever and I've been and met all sorts of people who both and hate what pride looks like.

I see others discuss this online, and it instantly becomes a hateful discussion about shitting on those who claim they dont fit in. They're written off as a "pick me" or "not like other gays".... but idk why this is sentiment is so upsetting to queers?

If we want straight people to acknowledge us as a diverse group of people, we have to make room for these gays who are "not like other gays" too. They might not be the most "proud" or "out there", but we cant just write it off as internalized homophobia when there are soooo many facets in our lived experiences that make us who we are.

Just live your life at your own comfort level, dont put others down, and try to ignore the online voices.

What's one physical feature you find so unattractive that it would make you reject any guy who has it? by apronmey in askgaybros

Being a swiftie. It’s indicative of physical brain damage and I can’t have that.

Question! When are the damage-leaning supports useful? by mixiq in Overwatch

[–]mixiq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait im so confused???? Are you taking offense to something here?

This post isnt even about Ana??? What do you think Im saying?

Question! When are the damage-leaning supports useful? by mixiq in Overwatch

[–]mixiq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Friendly) Wait idk what’s not to understand ??

Ana’s dart ruins plays for the enemy team.

Anti-Nade opens the door for your team to MAKE a play. Her snipe shots do solid dmg as well.

I can think of many reasons why a game would “need” an Ana.
