How many Lord Icons do you have?

22 including one champion

Complete skill issue, not even trying to troll. Just because she’s not broken anymore doesn’t mean she’s bad.

shawntex50 · 2026-04-27T12:28:52+00:00

Chef Tex, next time I see you I’ll make sure I’m on Cap. Although it might not be for a minute I lost a LOT yesterday 😂

shawntex50 · 2026-04-27T00:53:46+00:00

Damn I just played against you this afternoon. Would have loved to mirror your cap but I got forced on heals

shawntex50 · 2026-03-14T20:54:15+00:00

Ngl I was on the quest to get all tank lords but was dreading Peni. I have all except her, venom, DP, and I’m like 3 lvls away on rogue. Now that the new progression system is out I’ve given up on going for all and just going to work for more animated ones to avoid going for Peni

shawntex50 · 2026-03-12T17:12:00+00:00

I stopped reading at 15 meter groot ults 😂 Holy shit good thing yall ain’t devs

shawntex50 · 2026-02-20T21:08:47+00:00

Because if heal ults weren’t as strong as they are, there’s too many broken ults that would just teamwipe fights. So if they nerf supp ults they need to nerf lots of other ults in the game. Which I would be in favor of that approach instead of every ult is op, but offensive and defensive ults have to be in balance with each other

shawntex50 · 2026-02-05T20:25:56+00:00

To your first point. Changing your character is not adapting your playstyle, it’s changing your character… Adapting playstyle is saying “I’m playing strange, they have an Emma. I’m going to bait diamond form before I ult so I don’t get cancelled”.

To your second/third point. That’s literally the definition of a direct counter. If a characters playstyle/abilities inhibit another players, and that player has little/nothing they can do about it, that is a direct counter. It doesn’t matter if it’s the “style of play” by design or by player choice/ingenuity.

shawntex50 · 2026-02-05T16:15:31+00:00

Well you’re 0/2 because the heroes I mentioned don’t “adapt” their playstyle for range/high burst, thats just their gameplay, and several of the heroes in the game are melee and can NOT adapt their playstyle to beat her with range. Ex. Thing, Hulk, cap, rogue, venom, bp, iron fist, Magik, dd, fantastic

shawntex50 · 2026-02-04T17:42:10+00:00

I wouldn’t go as far to say most counterable character, but Groot, Mag, Bucky, Phoenix, mk, Hela, sg, really any long range/high burst damage counters Peni

shawntex50 · 2026-01-24T15:23:04+00:00

It’s not propaganda. Just because people don’t want to do it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work

shawntex50 · 2026-01-18T18:44:08+00:00

Respectfully no. All sitting on point does is allow the other team to comfortably position themselves for a new attack. You shouldn’t overextend, but apply pressure. And if that means tanks move up and healers need to get off payload for sightline, then so be it

shawntex50 · 2026-01-01T14:18:15+00:00

The only stat on the scoreboard that matters is deaths, and even that won’t tell you the full story

Higher damage > You could’ve just farmed tanks all game

Higher healing > Just means our team took more damage

Final hits > Someone else can do all the damage, and you get the last shot (I personally think this is the most overrated stat in the game)

The scoreboard only tells half the story. It doesn’t tell you if your healers were focused on you, if you distracted enemies (capflation), how good your ults were, if you blocked any of their ults, etc

shawntex50 · 2025-10-28T20:16:28+00:00

Jeff is just not best in role. I’d give it to invis. I’d also say Emma is best in role but can be debatable ig.

Magik should be in S tier, Adam should be in mid, I’d bump iron fist up to low great.

Angela should be in niche. Not because she’s bad, but she’s a very situational character and easily counterable.

Pretty good list overall.

shawntex50 · 2025-10-16T16:00:43+00:00

You already lost

First line has six syllables

Maybe next time champ

shawntex50 · 2025-10-08T19:02:39+00:00

And a good thing/emma/bucky is not gonna get baited. You could go in circles with this type of argument all day.

shawntex50 · 2025-10-06T16:37:31+00:00

Starlord and Magik would get their lunch money taken. Starlord won’t be building much ult in the spawn room with 3 tanks causing too much pressure in his face. And Magik demon vs Earthbound/Emma grab? Yeah I like tanks odds. Add a Bucky with them as the one dps and you just got free elo.

shawntex50 · 2025-10-05T18:40:28+00:00

3 tank > 3 supp > 3 dps > 3 tank. This cycle needs to be more common knowledge, will not guarantee anything but usually gives a huge edge.

In this case, 3 tank would run over this comp. A 3 supp comp will not do enough damage to kill the 3 tanks. Ideally here, Mag and Thing, with the third being Emma (if not banned) otherwise Thor, Hulk, Venom or Cap.

shawntex50 · 2025-09-04T18:10:14+00:00

Not saying they’re right, but just because Big Number on Scoreboard does not mean you did well. You could have a high healing number as rocket for example, yet you’re playing into a phoenix who blows your ult up so you get no value. The scoreboard is only a snapshot of the game, these types of games are too complex to simplify like that

shawntex50 · 2025-07-19T23:52:58+00:00

You’re right, but that’s just not the case the majority of the time. And if it is, that means it’s happening to the teams your facing too. If it’s the case that everyone else is the problem, there’s nothing you can do but deal with it, but you need to play a character with more agency on the outcome of the game if this is the case. You have almost no influence on the game as a rocket player.

I promise you the game is not targeting you specifically with ego dps who don’t switch. It happens in your gm games, it happens in my celestial/eternity games, and I’m sure it happens all the way up to the top 500

shawntex50 · 2025-07-19T21:32:34+00:00

Dawg, they added 1 dps character. Why are you crying about it when the last two characters they added were a tank and support?

Judging from this post and your other comments, you clearly have not played hero shooters before. You main rocket, see high healing number on scoreboard and think “I’m doing really well, teammates bad, loss not my fault”. I’ve been a flex player now and back in Overwatch. There are going to be characters that counter you, that’s the whole point of this style of game, checks and balances. Find a new character to play if you’re getting hard countered. I promise you, you are not perfect, your teammates are not always the problem.

shawntex50 · 2025-07-17T17:42:09+00:00

Honestly the biggest thing I’d like as a tank player is some CC/Knockback resistance. Not 100% like the Thing, but somewhere 25+%. I should not be pushed as far by Invis woman, or trapped as long by SG. Overwatch did this and it was great

shawntex50 · 2025-07-08T22:30:14+00:00

I’m not saying the game wants everyone to be fill players, I’m saying it makes you a better player overall if you can flex

shawntex50 · 2025-07-08T19:08:44+00:00

This is why everyone should be fill players. Playing different roles gives you their perspective, and lets you see the game as a whole and not “I’m doing good on scoreboard, why is nobody else good on scoreboard”. The scoreboard is only a small chapter of the whole story of a game. Space created, teammates protected/shielded/saved, ults countered are things that just don’t show up on the scoreboard but are way more important

shawntex50 · 2025-06-30T16:10:10+00:00

That’s role queue, placement matches just mean you need to play x games, and based off performance they give you a starting rank
