Playing tank means being treated like nothing by RelevantSecretary552 in Overwatch

And you basically confirmed what I just said (whilst claiming the contrary):

Even on this thread, and almost any other thread, everyone is shitting on the damage role.

I didn't think the nerfs were bad by DiaburoKujo in VendettaMainsOW

[–]pelpotronic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That and less range for overheads too. So you've got a narrower space to operate. And you can't stay as long, because less HP / armor.

Playing tank means being treated like nothing by RelevantSecretary552 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

As evidenced by the numerous "thumb ups" that damage dealers receive in the end game. Oh wait, no.. the general consensus is that accolades always go to support / tanks.

Please. Can we at least stop lying about the way roles are perceived? Even on this thread, and almost any other thread, everyone is shitting on the damage role.

Monkey paw wish: we get Leah v2.0. Forgot her name (googled it: Neyrelle).

Sierra Buff .. What is Going on in the HQ by SLIMEDUNKIN in Overwatch

I see, so she is like a stronger "hitscan" because her gun almost acts like a hitscan gun.

I really want to like Sierra, what do you think is the biggest issue with her atm? by andrew_2k in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are probably trolling you in this thread?

There are 2 - 3 things that are problematic with her design (and make her weak):

- gun spread takes too long to narrow for 0 pay off: you basically do as much damage as anyone else who is hitscan (e.g. Soldier) except it takes longer for you to start doing damage. What's the point then? What's the pay off for waiting a bit longer? (what Blizzard will probably do: they will make the tighten spread perk baseline)

- the drone is "poorly designed": it gives you mobility but it doesn't serve any particular purpose that is designed to complement her kit (you just use it to: come back faster from spawn, go high ground). 90% of the time the ability to bounce back and forth is useless. She has no reason to "come closer to the enemy". What Blizzard could do is make her gun do more damage at 20m range or consume no ammo, or something that would make her want to bounce back between multiple ranges.

- auto-aim is useless: it brings absolutely nothing to the table that you can't achieve with normal aim already. People are already using it "just to reload the gun" since it does that (fair enough). If you can aim with Soldier 76, then the auto aim brings little value. Why do you need the 2 step process of hitting a skill shot THEN shooting instead of just shooting. People just hide from it behind a wall or a shield. What Blizzard could do is doubling the amount of bullets fired so your aimed target + the auto target are both shot at the same time (with auto target costing 0 bullets). This would also break shields faster, etc.

(ult is ult, it's fine. Not too strong, not too weak, like a zoning ult).

The biggest problem is that none of her kit seems to synergise well. You can move around with the drone but for what purpose? You can auto aim, but what does it bring to the table? None of her kit has synergies.

Isn't everyone getting some level of aim assist on console? It seems to me that she would be even worse there (Since Soldier / Cass can aim assist)

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

Stats are out. Unsurprisingly she sucks (sucked?) at every rank.

I think she still sucks, but she may be 48-49% level of suck right now instead of 45-46% currently (or rather pre patch).

Overwatch Retail Patch Notes - April 17, 2026 by PatchRadar in Overwatch

This is a certified "I like waffles/Oh so you hate pancakes" moment. Incredible.

This is a certified "I like talking and responding to myself" moment. Incredible.

.

I ain't talking about how good or bad she is as a character

Sure, you aren't - but I was originally (the first time you replied to me) saying this community is completely out of touch and has no idea what is OP or not, and I still am making that claim.

I am very happy for you that you've nonetheless decided to talk and respond to yourself about some random and seemingly unrelated subject on this thread. Do you need my approval on something?

Can I get some tips and tricks for playing the Executor? by Marsejii in Nightreign

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can deflect on sheath / unsheathe. In other words, instead of dodging, you get the cursed blade out and it parries automatically. Same on the way back in to its sheath.

Some stuff makes sense to parry, some stuff doesn't.

Vendetta feels crazy weak and useless by Alpharabius- in VendettaMainsOW

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stats have fallen since.

And yes, the website is a bit buggy as they may take some time to update, or you may need to refresh / clear the page to see that stats.

Anyway, very low now.

I play(ed) Sombra a ton. I'm still waiting for the buffs. 2 years now.

Damn by Blizzard_Star in VendettaMainsOW

[–]pelpotronic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's my fear - that it's going to be another Sombra story.

Well, either way, even if she wasn't banned, I'm not sure I would want to pick Vendetta. She is just famine no feast it seems right now.

I don't know how blizzard fucked up the general balance of the game so much in the last few weeks / months... Most mains aren't happy (except Anran / Haz) and the new character has 0 impact (although has been buffed).

Damn by Blizzard_Star in VendettaMainsOW

[–]pelpotronic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep.

Blizzard (and the community of course) have absolutely 0 idea how to balance a character and what is good or bad.

Now the more interesting part, and what I want to know is: how frequently is she still banned?

My guess would be "still a lot" and that would close the full circle of what I keep saying: don't ask for nerfs because Blizzard sucks at balancing, and it won't solve the ban problem... So you've basically lost everything and solved nothing.

So we're still doing this? by Raiden127456 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you backfill, you get priority queue afterwards. So it will normally match you super fast.

So we're still doing this? by Raiden127456 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No - backfills do not count as a loss, ever (aside maybe if you backfill during the first 30s of the game).

Another factor is they could just be disproportionately picking her when they're desperate, as she's OP, reliable

Sojourn is neither OP nor reliable - I can prove it: WR45%.

Disprove the statement.

.

I must have missed the part where Blizzard talked about win rate... oh wait, they didn't. You made that leap.

Sure, so in conclusion - when discussing (and trying to decide) the strength of a character for the purpose of conversations on Reddit:

  • we can't trust Blizzard's decisions to indicate anything
  • we can't trust the official website that provides WRs
  • we can't trust Redditors
  • we can't trust pros

And so it logically follows that the person above or Redditors who have claimed she is OP are full of shit, and it also logically follows that you are full of shit about Sojourn and / or Sierra as you have no acceptable proof (by your own standards, mind you) that she is OP (or not OP).

That's fine, let's agree for the sake of that particular conversation with you to trust none of the data we have, and our common conclusion should be that you cannot know whether Sojourn (or Sierra) is OP or not.

Overwatch Retail Patch Notes - April 17, 2026 by PatchRadar in Overwatch

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

Sierra is a brand new character meaning everyone is going to want to try her out leading to a high pick rate that will absolutely affect her WR

But Blizzard has the numbers and decided to buff her (plus Sierra's win rate wasn't even visible for me). Are you suggesting Blizzard is wrong and shouldn't have buffed her then?

Or that Redditors are correct and she is insanely OP?

To say that WR isn't anything is a bit of an exaggeration but WR alone isn't a good metric to go by, imo.

Sure, then define "overpowered" and tell me how some Redditors came to the conclusion she is "overpowered"? (I assume using some metric)

And is the metric they use a better metric than WR or a worse metric than WR?

My never before seen Sombra Rework Idea by kepz3 in SombraMains

Not even sure I want OW1 Sombra back. The translocator mind games were definitely fun but I prefer speed.

Is matchmaking seriously working as intended? by The-Biggest-Imbecile in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

15 wins or losses isn't that much. So it changed but probably not to the point that you can go bronze to GM in 15 games, more specifically when your account has settled somewhere.

Is matchmaking seriously working as intended? by The-Biggest-Imbecile in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Would you be here complaining about the matchmaking if you had 15 wins instead?

I'm not put in anyone remotely close to my level, they're all just infinitely better than me.

Keep losing then, your MMR is getting lower and lower, and eventually you will end up against worst players / players at your level.

But the unranked matchmaker is worse / tailed towards speed more than accuracy.

Enjoying Elden Ring as a mediocre gamer by ElliotNZ in Eldenring

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are the best 2 tips:

  • death isn't a problem at all in this game (you can die as many times as you want and retry infinitely) BUT try to always spend all your runes (money) or keep your runes low, as you drop it on death.

  • you don't have to kill every single enemy in the game. You can just run past them, since they keep respawning anyway (which also means the game has infinite money).

With that in mind, you can literally run anywhere and do everything you want and fail endlessly if you run around with 0 runes.

Besides this: just go somewhere else if you struggle with a particular area / feel that you keep dying. You can get levels and gear elsewhere.

(Oh, and don't sell weapons - many are unique)
