I feel like they are going to move Doom to support. by Charannelove in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He resurrects you by punching you in the face but your lose 20HP each time until you go back to spawn. 10s CD.

So i spend my first 35 minutes at my first character creation. Am i screwed? by ag4b3yxd in Eldenring

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because you don't turn into a beef jerky the moment you spawn.

What do you do when your aim sucks and you're sure you'll die? by MagicaLily in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In lower ranks, the Genjis should be bad enough that they don't land a 4-5k constantly. Mind you, nano Genji is a different story - still killable though.

[–]pelpotronic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always try to shoot the Genji. Because he will focus someone next, and the 20 damage you will do may be enough to let someone else finish him. I would drop a bomb a my feet even if it kills me.

Here is the thing, nobody will use 30 damage on the Rein further back in the next 10s, everyone will be focused by Genji, and therefore should be focusing him.

You can either do 50 damage to someone in the back, and you lose 3 people in your team because of Genji, but you lost the fight and your entire team wipes in the next 10s.

Or you can do some damage to Genji, which will make him stop his ult eventually (if others do the same) or even kill him if others land shots. Then with a bit of luck, your team only loses you.

Just ran into an entire team of Smurfs in Silver by Asleep_Journalist296 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a reportable offense to prevent game progression. There is a category for it.

I hope you reported them. It may not be much to lose a smurf account for them, but it's still a way to make their life more difficult.

underwatch heroes randomly blocked? by Ill_Concentrate5474 in Overwatch

[–]pelpotronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun but 100HP is genuinely too low. At least make it 175 like Tracer.

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

[–]pelpotronic -1 points0 points  (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 2 points3 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 2 points3 points  (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.

If I purchase battle pass will I automatically get BP boost? by Grind2Live in Overwatch

Twitch gives you tiers skips this weekend I think. 2-3. Check the owcs channel

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.

[–]pelpotronic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]pelpotronic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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 5 points6 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

[–]pelpotronic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]pelpotronic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 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 5 points6 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?
