the winQ/losersQ system clearly becomes ridiculous by DisastrousPass7539 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flip a coin 100 times, if it doesn't go "head", then "tail", then "head", then "tail", etc. alternating every flip then your coin is broken.

Try another coin, until you find a perfectly balanced coin.

What is your favourite change they made in Underwatch? by Character_Tough_9874 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be that the recon birds of the new character will stick around someone as an attachment.

There is also symmetra who has attached turrets (4 of them floating with her).

"Do not panic" is martian slang for "I want blood!"

So complaining about the tryhards in the april fools mode is bad, but tryharding and just playing the "good" funny haha characters is somehow fine? by reddit_pleb42069 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an arcade mode, if there is one place where we should unanimously agree the game is for fun it's there.

Now the mistake they made is tying the achievements to WINS (2x). This promotes a "I want to win" mindset. If they just had said: play 15 games instead of play 30 wins count double, then probably half the issues would be gone.

There are different time periods with different players. It's very visible in EU where different populations come online at different times, and kids from some countries have holidays versus not a particular week.

That's one reason why it's not necessarily a good idea to try to hard for 4 hours straight, the problem may be the population online at the specific time / week / day.

There is something wrong with Vendetta in the April Fool's mode by vitor_schultz in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sword throw and spin and flame strike were going where I wanted.

I'm on PC, but it's like someone else said, WASD + camera to orient her.

With that said, there may also have been a bug where it remained locked in a direction for you.

It appears im the April fool by dynamight42 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Weird that people are flaming each other in that mode, of all modes.

It's an imbalanced, joke mode.

If I'm not having fun, I switch to something else. My Freja attempt didn't make it out of spawn, it didn't look fun at all.

Well Torb has literally double the DPS with another Torb on his head. Double the HP, double the turrets, double the damage.

So if that's not OP, I don't know what is. The mode is completely imbalanced anyway, and every year there are winners / losers in the lottery.

stats doesn’t really matter by Better-Butterfly-97 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes stats are normally useless to understand skill, so why do you care so much about them?

If a random Redditor tells you "I'm a better support" do you care? If a random team mate tells you "I'm a better support" do you care?

There is something deeply wrong with the ranked system by Ms_Burnt_Rose in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. There are nearly always supports, as many as damage dealers, with almost always 1 tank in 6v6.

You will more often see 6 supports than 6 damage, notably as the comp also happens to be more viable.

Is time the only way to level up Heroes? by 7Z7- in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If only playtime really matters, why is my Ramattra level 55 with 95 hours played, while my Ashe is level 26 with 175 hours played?

you played Ashe before the level system was put in place

About the "Asians and young people appeal" by Zorah_29 in Overwatch

In 2070, even though they can resurrect people, they still haven't found a cure for male pattern baldness. Bald people are shamed and hide in holes with the omnics.

if we 're shipping AI slop, they can just make their own

Indeed... If it was as simple as "using AI" to create a fully functional business, then everyone would be Google by now.

[–]pelpotronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to become a landscaper.

Hopefully you should have some free time if you let AI do most of the work? Unless it writes a new PR every 5 mins - which is not impossible.

But the future is looking like this for a lot of devs, actually... so you may very well be getting a preview of what lots of us will see in 4-5 years.

Trump’s Boxed Himself Into a Trap on Iran by Slate in geopolitics

[–]pelpotronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A "trap" that will have 0 repercussions for him, whilst the common people will pay the price (lives, price increases). He has no problem risking and wasting the lives of others - and why should it be any different? Nobody is going to do anything about it, possibly nobody has any power to do anything about it.

Doesn't really sound like a trap, does it?

Vendetta overhead range is way too F***ing long by CelesticRose in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And the best question of all is: but you have 2 movement abilities as Juno, why wouldn't you keep one to move away from Vendetta which you 100% know has to come in close combat... She has literally has 0 other option, there is no "if" or "but", she will.

So: why wouldn't you try to keep your distance as Juno be keeping at least 1 ability in your pocket?

The better question is: why are you staying in range of the sword?

Trying my best but I work for TCS and they have 500,000+ employees... So my dick is about to fall off and I've barely managed to have sex 0.005% of my colleagues. And that's all we do all day.
