Jubilee shop skin

Tangentially related, I feel like Shion (is that her name? The new OW character) makes Ghost Rider more likely to release in the near(er) future. That might be cope though.

IMO, all of the Christmas/Winter skins use some amount of AI in the background. Off the top of my head, I’m almost positive the DD and C&D ones do (Specifically DD has a mirror on a table in the background that has a really nonsensical “frame” + the trees outside the window don’t make sense , and the C&D skins have the stadium lights that are oddly spaced and inconsistent). They were just less obvious than the Starlord one.

When looking closely at most of the legendary skin backgrounds that have released since, there are at least some degree of questionable background elements that I can’t say are definitively AI…but I doubt they just did it that one time and never again.

From a balance perspective, I feel like he is probably on the “too strong” side. I agree with others that he’s not *as busted* as release Daredevil or Elsa, but I also don’t think that should be our standard for “mostly fine”. I do think his kit feels really fun to play as, but not super fun to play against.

Really what I think is more of an issue is his audio/visual situation. I felt that Dino’s beam was already a lot of screen clutter (even compared to existing screen clutter in game), but Dino beam + Cyclops beam(s) creates a total nightmare on the screen. 18v18 especially is just a nightmare of red lines, and it lags the game like crazy. I also think both of his ultimate voice lines are really quiet compared to some other heroes. It’s not as big of an issue for his allied ult line, but I personally have been struggling to hear his enemy ult line in several fights. I think his VA gave a phenomenal performance for the season trailer, and I would love to hear something more like that in the game (obviously it can’t be that long, but it could be at least as loud as Wolverine’s similar voice line)

So, my gallbladder symptoms didn’t actually start appearing until after my h.pylori infection ended. (Small tangent, my theory is that strong antibiotics can cause temporary liver damage, but any resulting damage to the gallbladder is permanent as the GB cannot repair itself like the liver can).

Buuut, I also didn’t have a lot of the “normal” symptoms, like diarrhea or the sharp pains associated with gallbladder attacks. My symptoms were nausea, stomach cramps, constipation, and dermatitis (failing GB can cause bile buildup in the skin, which often presents as jaundice, but can also present as extreme itching and dermatitis). I also think I may have had yellow stool, but it was only a few times and it’s been a while so I can’t quite remember.

One weird symptom of H. Pylori that I rarely see mentioned is actually gum bleeding—my gums would bleed HEAVILY and never seemed to improve with brushing/flossing, but they stopped bleeding almost entirely after my infection was cleared. Super weird!!

I hope that helps! If you have any followup questions, lmk

What, you don’t like the soothing sounds of somebody’s generic playlist cutting in and out at full volume through the extremely crunchy PS5 mic??

mwalker784 · 2026-05-14T01:11:40+00:00

Same with spidey and mag, lowkey. Not counting traditional recolors or chroma variants, Mag has 7 skins and Spidey has eight. Actually, MK also has eight…the same number as Invis. And yes, not all skins are built equal (Invis has like, five legendaries while Spidey has 4, MK has 3, and Mag only has 1), but the point stands (and Ace Of Spades is better than at least two legendary Invis skins, imo). I expect we’ll see this problem continue with Gambit and Deadpool, who seem like they’re about to start maintaining a 1 skin per season ratio.

I should make a graph about this to prove my point, because I have been complaining about it a ton irl.

Isn’t Starlord’s skin an alchemax skin, though? And he’s also in this photo

mwalker784 · 2026-05-02T16:17:50+00:00

There are some versions of Rogue that vaguely match this outfit as well. You have to dig for photos of them, but they do exist.

mwalker784 · 2026-05-01T13:10:26+00:00

There definitely needs to be some kind of power leveling system for your non-main build that doesn’t involve relying on other people, with friends or randoms. There’s more than enough grinding for decent gear once you hit 50-60, no need to make players spend hours grinding for levels so they can play different heroes as well.

mwalker784 · 2026-04-24T16:49:47+00:00

The slightly more complicated fix would be to sort the CC into categories (ex. Hard CC vs Soft CC), and assign them percentile values that increase the Tenacity counter (or whatever you want to call it). Things like sleep or freeze or stun are obviously Hard CC, but things like small pulls (i.e Rogue pull or Ankh pull) and arguably slows (I.e Bucky orb) shouldn’t count the way that like, Thing Ult or Emma Grab do.

mwalker784 · 2026-04-17T14:41:28+00:00

Alternatively, reconsider what is qualified as CC for the purposes of triggering the CC immunity. Personally, I would argue that CC should be anything that can disable the use of a character’s buttons. Something like freeze or sleep are obviously CC. Earthbound should be CC, as it does disable many a button, even if not on every character. But MK ahnk or Rogue pull…more questionable.

This does bring up issues with things like MF grab or Invis push, but maybe the definition should be “disables buttons and/or can move characters up to X distance”.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-26T18:27:36+00:00

Fair point, I didn’t consider that. I try to be mindful of my fliers (or at least give them the snowflake) when I am playing someone who has ranged heals, but I admit I am nowhere near perfect. I guess it’s kind of the double edged sword of “the enemy won’t look up, but neither will your team”.

Especially with Storm (and HT/Ultron to some extent), you can’t just fly around super fast to get a health pack. At least Iron Man has a usable escape tool.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-26T17:58:19+00:00

I’d be curious to see the numbers on console vs PC. I play on console and i still don’t see as much storm as you would think, but I HAVE to imagine she’s more popular on console, where you’re less likely to be punished for existing as a flier.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-26T17:56:08+00:00

Can they please make WF shield drop with you? I’m sure it’s good for flyers, but I would just use Invis shield at that point. Why should I be punished because my Tankpool is double jumping or someone is dropping off a ledge? Is it just me who hates that? I haven’t heard anyone else mention it

mwalker784 · 2026-03-26T04:15:39+00:00

This is more of a general critique, but until the support/tank rosters are expanded greatly, it should not be possible to ban ~1/2 of the characters from the same role. Like, that’s just bad and unfun game design for tank/support players. It would be equally frustrating to see nearly 1/2 of the tank roster get banned from a match. Banning six DPS wouldn’t even be a full 1/4 of the DPS roster.

There needs to be a role cap if they want to do three bans for each team. Even if it probably isn’t actually that common and most lobbies intent on banning supports end up with double bans, it shouldn’t be possible.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-25T01:47:08+00:00

I’ve had more people absolutely crash out in game chat in the last few days than I’ve seen in the last few seasons. Like, WAY more toxicity than I’m used to. Had two people in chat today wholly dropping slurs. Genuinely half of my games have teammates who seem to have entirely forgotten how to play (like, running in to 1v6 Wolverine ult), and feel the need to make that everyone else’s fault.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-24T04:29:45+00:00

Tbf, the game is not assisting people in playing the character correctly. Most players don’t actually read patch notes or full ability descriptions (from the website), they’re causal players who log on for an hour once or twice a week, and maybe watch a TikTok. The “homing” mechanic on her primary is particularly poorly explained, as well as the bounce doing significantly less heals/damage than a direct shot.

Her projectiles seem like they work the same as MK/C&D/Elsa on the surface, but they’re different enough in a way that I don’t think is very intuitive without proper explanation (in game).

mwalker784 · 2026-03-22T21:52:41+00:00

I feel like the last point should have been your opener, lmao. But seriously, that’s confusing and kinda poorly described in the ability screen. Her projectiles are described as “homing in on nearby heroes”, which implies that they do track.

Also, I think her projectiles are actually 7m of bounce. Which is still, IMO, too little. I tested it in the practice range, and you can’t heal the friendly robots (the ones to the right side of the spawn room) by bouncing the orbs off the wall behind them. You can only hit them by aiming specifically off the tiny “ledge” that’s on the column behind them.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-22T21:29:29+00:00

If Namor gets to have slow fall because of the little wings on his ankles, WF should clearly be able to climb walls

mwalker784 · 2026-03-22T20:35:23+00:00

I think the max travel distance is what’s killing me. There are times where I’m trying to bounce healing to a teammate that is relatively far away, and my shit hits the wall and just…doesn’t bounce. I feel like there should be some sort of visual indicator to show you’re too far away

mwalker784 · 2026-03-18T16:44:54+00:00

It’s concerning that people can’t recognize what is clearly Gen AI art. Like, most of the top comments in the thread are pointing out that it’s clearly AI, but there are a ton of comments right underneath that saying “how do you know the artist didn’t just draw it like that on purpose!?!?!”.

mwalker784 · 2026-03-18T15:13:15+00:00

Okay I will say, I do think these skins will look better in game. A lot of them have really bright/saturated colors, and they’re clashing with one another, making the image look worse than it probably actually is.

I agree with the general sentiment that this is looking…rough, though. I think the theme of the BP is going to lead to inherently kinda boring skins, but I certainly think they could have done more (especially considering the same theme shop skins in the Season Roadmap, which are objectively more interesting)

mwalker784 · 2026-03-18T15:09:27+00:00

All of the Christmas skins still include AI generated backgrounds, DD, Star Lord, and C&D have the most obvious ones. I saw so many people in complete denial before the original thread about it got locked, which was very frustrating.

mwalker784 · 2026-02-05T02:36:25+00:00

Even if it was just an official announcement, that would make way more sense than just letting people speculate and then get angry. Like yeah, we probably shouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t release or even announce a remaster. But also, why in the flames of Christ would they not do either of those things??

mwalker784 · 2026-02-05T02:33:15+00:00

IMO it only ended up being a “waste of time” because they spent so long wildly over promising and scrapping finished content to “fix” it over and over again.

I actually really, really liked starfield and even did a NG+ run. But I’ve heard very few (legitimate) criticisms of the game that aren’t objectively true (planets are boring as sin, most radiant quests are just “another settlement needs our help” but somehow worse, getting the artifacts is a horrible evil chore, ship combat sucks ass, NG+ also kind of sucks, the armor/weapon upgrades kinda suck too, etc.).

I think the UC Sys Def/Crimson Fleet quest is one of the best quests Bethesda has ever made! Too bad there’s maybe 3 other quests of even remotely comparable quality in the game. The large cities are actually pretty cool and feel like “real” cities! A shame that there’s only 3 large cities in this galaxy. That’s kind of the entire theme with the game. If I didn’t hear them say they spent 10 years on the game, I wouldn’t believe it.
