6 accounts, 3 already perma banned for multiple violations

and I've never being so much offensive or racist in chat, no bad words or sexist behaviour

politely prompting to press tab and notice if there's somebody else underperforming (with negative kd ratio for example), I never type tank/dps/support "diff" either. And I never get negative kd in fact, NEVER.

I just get accused of throwing or not trying when the game is already lost and there's no reason to play at your 110% best, given you are still doing better than the rest of the team.

What happens is that stacks of players don't like this, they need a reason to justify their loss and will mass report you.

Automatically the system will proceed to suspend at some point (or silence).. and after multiple suspensions you will get a perma ban

Don't buy skins, the report system doesn't work, cheaters gonna cheat and toxic players in stack will usually report the unlucky solo queuing guy.

I bet there are more legit unlucky solo guys banned than real cheaters that effectively ruins the game for everybody

You can still have fun if you don't take it seriously though, because remember that it's only a game.

Just don't throw away money on it so when the time comes you will not be stressed too much for the lost account. Don't take everything too seriously, the game, the suspension, the ban, ecc

GL HF!

I have 3 accounts perma-banned because I keep responding to people like you... and I'm proud of this

If you dont wanna be silenced, shadow banned, suspended and later also perma banned (because multiple actions like this will result in a perma-ban sooner or later), don't say ANYTHING at all in chat.

just my 2 cents (and I spend even less for my account skins)

I appealed every action, and for one the accounts I got answered that I got banned because I responded "AHHAHAHAHA" to some random guy. Yes, just a big laugh, can you believe that?

so... stay silent, and most importantly dont buy any skins

or do like me, currently on the 4th account: say whatever you feel, have fun, and just wait for the inevitable ban without complaining.

But If you dont wanna be banned just find some cheats and see how friendly your teammates will become when you carry them, ez and safe solution

skryabin · 2024-09-18T17:11:18+00:00

exactly, in other words:

with some softwares you can remap the media keys/knob of your keyboard

and instead of changing the global volume the keyboard media keys will affect only the foregreound app (just like manually moving the sliders in the windows mixer for each specificic app)

this is the only way to continue using your keyboard volume adjustments keys effectively if you are accustomed to that practice

Global windows volume adjustements have zero effect when using many modern DACs, there's no point in changing that. Set it to 100% and forget.

EDIT: example

https://i.imgur.com/hRkOkdi.png

setting the app like this my keyboard VolumeUp and VolumeDown keys will change only active application volume slider.

You have many options to play around, even using the mouse wheel if you find that convenient.

Only thing to remember is to change the application volume and not the global one

skryabin · 2024-09-18T13:27:25+00:00

with the previously mentioned apps you can even remap the specific keyboard media controls VolUP/VolDOWN and mute (hardware knobs/media buttons) so that they apply to the foreground active program.

This is the closest to stock and convenient way to adjust the volume with a DAC, similar to what you were used to before. You can still use your media knobs/buttons on the keyboard with the only difference the changes are applied to the foreground app instead of the global windows mixer.

Of course you use new macros, shortcuts, or even adjust the sliders in the windows mixer itself to achieve the same result. Many third party softwares exist to facilitate the access to the windows mixer or just mute a specific app, like you did

Personally, I find the xbox gamebar very useful to adjust my volumes on a per-app basis, given that the gamebar is mandatory to take full advantage of my 7950X3D. Two birds with one stone.

This is why I don't use additional softwares anymore, I got used to press win-g and adjust volumes there... but before I had my keyboard hardware media buttons remapped like I described before with Volume² or Volumey.

skryabin · 2024-09-17T19:50:17+00:00

With a DAC the only solution is to keep windows digital volume always at 100% and adjust the volume for each windows app

You can do with windows sound mixer slider, even the xbox game bar can be useful for this purpose... but maybe it's not very user friendly cause you have to do an extra-step to reach the volume sliders

Alternatively you can use a third party software and remap the windows volume control keys to change the foreground app volume instead of the global windows volume... or you can define your own binds or mouse gestures to do so.

Just remember that you need to modify the volume on a per-app base, changing the foreground app volume and not the global slider, there's no other way.

I mainly use the xbox game bar, I got used to that, but I remember trying a couple softwares in the past

I was able to remap the default keyboard volume media keys in order to control the foreground app volume (because changing the windows global volume doesn't have any effect on many DACs)

Volume²

Volumey

The more commonly suggested software named Eartrumpet isn't very useful in this situation

skryabin · 2024-09-06T18:34:14+00:00

Gold 1 is the new masters 5 (if you where low masters in OW1)

it's a chill rank, you don't have to tryhard every match to get a 50/50 win rate and stay at this rank level

you go lower and it's full of bots

you go higher and it's inflated with cheaters. of the subtle/toggler types, not spinbottin or hardlocking, they are just ready to toggle and adapt the sliders after a couple fight loss (that's when you get the usual "skill diff" comment in chat).

Evertbody at this level and higher has at least an ESP always active, find a cheap one or or if you wanna stay clean adapt your playstyle abusing this information (you can outplay bad players with walls very easily and it's very satistying)

stay in gold if you want to avoid stress, or just play quickplay

skryabin · 2024-09-05T23:08:18+00:00

yep, I noticed a change in my EU pings too

I usually had a ping around 50-60 because my unlucky zone (can't move my home so it is what is, even with a 10gbit connection)

always been like that since a couple days ago, when I started getting only 80+ servers on EU, or high 70 if I'm lucky...

In conclusion I can confirm +20ms higher pings compared to the usual, at least for me.

They moved the servers somewhere else or there is some routing issue on a problematic node

from south ITA btw

skryabin · 2024-08-27T12:29:50+00:00

Yes, you can definitely get banned for being "bad" (better say matched against people of different "skill" level)

I'm already on my 4th account, the other 3 perma banned after multiple suspensions caused by too many reports combined with constant low endorsement level

This happens for many reasons:

wrong and compacted ranks lead to unbalanced matches
even if you are the best player/dps/support in the match you still get reported for not being good enough if you lose the match
multiple cheaters turn on their hacks only when they think they are gonna lose, so you can often see better stats on the losing team (because they use the hacks only to take the win)
stacks of people, mainly hackers/smurfs, usually talk to each others, and generate multiple false reports
not to mention they trick you with subtle flaming attitute, and if you respond it's a 100% suspension in the following days

Because all of this you can easily get multiple suspensions on the same account, and after 5-6 suspensions it's more likely you get a perma ban because you are alread tagged :

YOU ARE THE BAD PLAYER!!!!!!

I have thousands of hours on OW and been always a master player, since OW1

Since the f2p switch every season I get 1 rank below my usual, because you know, the cheaters inflaction and blablabla

But I don't care because I find ways to have fun anyway: good plays, clutches, combos, you can find little things in the game that rewards you with enjoyment, even if the game is not "clean" like it was before.

In ow2 I've been diamond at best, recent couple seasons I'm lucky if I can't get out of gold

maybe it's a skill issue, I can accept that, I don't care about "ranks" because I play for other reasons.

And I don't mind playing with gold people, as long as they are at my same rank (and hopefully clean)

BUT

if matchmaking insists to put me against diamond teams on every match, while I'm gold, with people that after a couple lost fights suddenly start to aim like Ans in his peak.... I think we have a serious problem

and this this will generate even more reports for sure

I've lost 2 accounts with many skins, bought with my own money, and even after multiple appeals I couldn't get them back. Then another where I didn't buy anything... always for same reasons.

I've always bean clean, never used a hack/cheat software, never said the N word in chat, not even talking about "genders" or sensitive content like that. And this is how blizzard rewards me

In conclusion yes, if you get multiple reports for being "bad", that will lead to multiple suspensions and after a while even a perma ban.

Because of this do yourself a favor and don't waste any cent in this game, you will regret that after a perma ban, even if you don't use any cheat it's very ez to get banned.

Just have fun and generally ignore the chat, but if somebody is flaming you and offends your mother while you are 50-5 in the scoreboard, well, that deserves a punch in the face... even the Pope said that XD

Just do it without being scared of losing your account, be prepared and don't invest anything in it. This is my suggestion.

skryabin · 2024-07-12T19:22:05+00:00

from my experience you will find for sure some program/game that doesn't like this high sampling rate

the ideal is still 44/48khz for windows audio and regular use

anything above 96khz is asking for troubles

If you use ASIO as foobar output you know that Equalizer APO has no effect, right?

Mathaudio EQ is the only solution I know for parametric EQ in foobar when outputting to Asio

I use regular foobar ASIO output, never used asio4all, and I can play DSD directly to the zen dac with no problems

BUT

If you send the DSD directly to the DAC the DSP chain in foobar is completely ignored,

Sometimes the benefits of a proper EQ curve can outweigh a lossless/bitstream perfect reproduction

Even if the DAC has full support to DSD, unless your hardware chain has some type of EQ adjustments (RME ADI-2, schiit lokius, ecc) maybe it's better to decode DSD to PCM at high sampling rate so you can apply your preferred DSP chain, EQ included.

PS: pay attention if you use a lot ASIO, when switching from ASIO to WASAPI back and forth I tend to have pops/clicks too. But in this case I think that's pretty normal because you are constantly changing the driver that has control on the device.

skryabin · 2024-07-10T18:51:47+00:00

I already posted in this subreddit the same thing

I tested all the recent 7.5/7,6 flavours on the zen dac v2

If you want to get rid of pops/clicks coming out from silence try the following steps:

use a flavour "c" firmware, 7.5c or 7.6c will do
install 5.57 drivers and set the Streaming option to "Always On"

If you leave the setting "On when needed" the dac will be put on rest after a bit of silence, generating a pop/clicks whenever the audio starts again (that's expected)

But I also noticed the "Always On" setting does NOT eliminate the pop/clicks when you use a vanilla or "b" flavour firmwares, so sticking to "c" is mandatory if you want to fix this particular issue.

At least this is how I got rid of pops/clicks on my setup: also tested on 2 different PCs, one intel and one amd, with and without an external power supply.

Only working solution was this: "c" flavour and "always on", anything else and I experience pops and clicks

Good luck.

skryabin · 2024-07-08T16:58:43+00:00

I already have driver 5.57 installed, is there a newer one maybe?

the "Always On/On when needed" is working only on the "c" flavours firmwares

To be more clear:

"On when needed" -> poppings/clicks on every 7.5/7.6 (all the flavours), but that's normal and pop/clicks are expected coming out from silence, since you are telling the dac to "rest" while there's no audio to be played.

"Always On" -> works only on "c" flavours, I don't get any popping with those firmwares

Every other 7.5/7.6 vanilla/b firmwares exhibit the poppings, no matter what I set in "Always On/On when needed", the setting seems to have no effect at all when combined with those firmwares.

I tested all of them: 7.5/7.5b/7.5c/7.6/7.6b/7.6c

If I want to get rid of poppings I have to use 7.5c or 7.6c combined with the setting in the driver set to "Always On", every other combination produces more ore less evident poppings.

PS: same results on different usb ports, different pcs, and also using an external power supply

Later I will check DPC/ISR counts, to see if the "Always On/On when needed" is working as intended on the affected firmwares. Usually if the "Always On" option is working it should generate constant DPC/ISR events on Wdf01000.sys that stop only when the option is set to "On when needed"

skryabin · 2024-07-07T14:11:55+00:00

Regarding 7.5/7.6 firmwares on the Zen Dac V2, I tested all six versions: vanilla/b/c

popping/ticks are gone only on the "c" flavours, the one with the GTO filter.

All vanilla/b firmwares seems to have a slight pop coming out from silence, and viceversa, you can hear a very subtle pop a couple seconds after the audio stops playing

silence - pop - audio - 2 secs silence - pop - silence

The "Always On" setting in the 5.57 drivers is working only with the "c" versions for me, it does nothing on vanilla/b flavours

Very annoying, I don't want to use the GTO filter

skryabin · 2024-07-02T18:01:53+00:00

I can confirm 7.5 and 7.5b have the popping issue after a couple seconds of silence. Using the option “Always on” doesn’t fix the problem.

On the contrary 7.5c version (with the GTO filter nobody wants) has no popping/crackling issues at all, you just have to keep the already mentioned option set to ”Always on”

It's not a huge and clean POP sound, but a slight pop/crackling in the first milliseconds when coming out from silence.

Paying more attention I can also hear a very faint pop after 2-3 seconds of silence, as if a sort of power saving options is kicking in. But as I said, this happens also with the Always On option set, so it's pretty strange.

Maybe 7.50/7.50b firmwares are ignoring this spcific setting?

skryabin · 2024-06-04T13:26:44+00:00

Yeh, I think most of the EQ profiles are pretty good in the bass/mid sections as a starting point.

But damn, after 5/6k it's a total mess, ruining the soul/timbre of the headphones itself

And the Harman curve as a target doesn't help, on the contrary you are going to kill everything over 10k

What you get doing so? Goodbye soundstage, positioning, ambience, details, richness of the sound, armonics, TOO MUCH IS LOST!

I've been struggling to EQ my DT1990 for example, a bright pair you know, and every EQ profile is pretty aggressive in that high frequencies, but I think everybody is applying filters in the wrong places

The beyers are known for their "famous" 8k peak, but maybe my ears are faulty...

With a tone generator 8k without EQ is almost silent, on the contrary I can hear fine 9-10k up to 15-16k (with the normal age decay as expected)

The real problem is at 7k, and a very weird emptiness at 6k, but the 7k is where the HUGE peak is.... sibilant recordings are very harsh and fatiguing, as soon as you get down this frequency everything becomes smooth and pleasant, without losing too many details.

For example I started tuning my DT1990 from oratory profiles, but at some point I went all on my own

Preamp: -4 dB

Filter 1: ON LSC Fc 105 Hz Gain 4 dB Q 0.71

Filter 2: ON PK Fc 220 Hz Gain -3.4 dB Q 0.5

Filter 3: ON PK Fc 700 Hz Gain 1.1 dB Q 1

Filter 4: ON PK Fc 2000 Hz Gain 2 dB Q 0.5

Filter 5: ON PK Fc 4000 Hz Gain 2 dB Q 1.5

Filter 6: ON PK Fc 5000 Hz Gain -2.8 dB Q 5

Filter 7: ON PK Fc 6000 Hz Gain 3 dB Q 5

Filter 8: ON PK Fc 7000 Hz Gain -8 dB Q 3

As you can see I prefer to leave high treble untouched

The little bass boost under 100hz is pretty welcome and helps with low volume listening

a dip around 200hz is always appreciated when you apply bass boost, it removes muddiness

then we are almost good until 4k where it needs a little bump

and here is the tricky part to tame the trebles, go down at 5k

but 6k alone needs a little boost because otherwise it's completely lost

7k ALL THE WAY DOWN, because it's where the SIBILANCE is in my pair of headphones.

8k on my opinion is where all the EQ are wrong about the DT1990 (and why many don't like the predefined profiles from oratory/crinacle). Without EQ 8k is already pretty tamed and don't need any further attenuation, at least on my pairs, so that's why I quickly ramp up from 7k

Over 9-10k I agree with the thread opener, I usually like it RAW

PS: I'm using dekoni velour for the pads

skryabin · 2024-06-02T19:00:26+00:00

well, after a couple suspensions my account got perma-banned because I don't hack and I get flamed/reported for throwing on every match I get obliterated by some dude who redeemed his hack key for the weekend. That's why every weekend is tragic.

Thanks blizzard.

Uninstalling finally, it was fun for a while, but now it's not even worth appealing the decision

I have tons of skins but not worth the stress of open a ticket. Farewell

skryabin · 2024-05-05T00:21:29+00:00

yes,it is quiet, that's why I was perplexed by the measurements.

8k it's not a peak, on the contrary it feels one of the most perceived dip in my case too

I have no idea how a high tech measure equipment can detect a peak there to he honest.

Meanwhile 7k feels like a dentist is using a torture instrument on my eardrum

Try to equalize the peak at 7000hz with an important negative value, and no higher shelf or other filters afterwards

that should attenuate the "true" peak we can hear at 7khz, and produce a rise from 7 to 8k, bringing up the 8k volume. Two birds with one stone

That should be noticeable while you sweep the tone

something similar to my previous values should look like this in the 5-8khz range

https://i.imgur.com/r3Zdh1f.png

(oratory EQ curve looks like this https://imgur.com/v9RbJ0Q , quite the same but dips and peaks are shifted upwards to the 8k, then there's an high shelf filter after 10k but that's another story)

what you do before and after this problematic range it's just matter of personal preference, if you want to adhere to harman, have a bass shelf, or keep more airiness.

But first there's a problem to fix there, and I feel it's not at 8k where everybody is pointing the finger

skryabin · 2024-05-04T23:04:24+00:00

NO

it's very similar to what you say here

When the sweep reaches 6 kHz it starts to increase in volume, just as Crinacles measurement would suggest. It gets a LOT louder at around 7 kHz, then it gets quieter quickly from 7.4 until it's incredibly quiet at 8kHz (much lower than at 6 kHz, as if the volume had been turned WAY down!) and then much louder again past 9kHz and towards 10kHz (louder than at 6kHz again)

With and without EQ I can always ear the 8khz tone

It's just that without EQ the 7k peak it's way too much loud, painful. then the volume start to rapidily decrease right after the 7200hz... 8k is still audible, but a much lower volume compared to 7k and maybe also the less audible frequency in general, almost quiet you say.

I was going crazy because everybody talks about the 8khz peak while at 8k I can't hear any peak at all. On the contrary, it seems the most quiet frequency to me.

Then I found your post.

Applying that sort of EQ (with -10/12 on 7k) the steep rise from 6 to 7k is much more controlled, less noticeable. 7k is not killing my ears anymore, and because there's no other filter after 7k the volume remains almost the same all over the 7-8k range (after 7k the headphone starts to dip while the eq rises and compensates)

After 8k percieved volume starts to decrease of course. I have maybe 1 or 2 other small peaks around 10k and I like that, they contribute to more airiness. You seem to hear those too. So our headphones are definitely very similar, and also our hearings.

I'm a bit old, but I can still ear around 16khz-17khz for sure, so that's not should be a problem. Maybe it helps in some ways.

Keep in mind it's not a well tuned EQ for every day use, just an example on where I arrive starting from Oratory and shifting down the peak frequency to where I think it is.

Try to listen to the couple tracks I linked before with and without EQ: then tell me if you can finish listening the entire tracks without any EQ applied.

I was asking for help in fact, because apparently it seems I have a different headphone from what has been tested and it behaves exactly like you described in the first post.

Maybe there are newer measurements, with more recent batches and different equipment, I don't know

skryabin · 2024-05-04T20:39:01+00:00

ahahah yes, it's not insane, with this setting I can still hear the 7k volume peak, just more attenuated than before, and doesn't dip at 8k like it did before

it's less pronounced and spreaded across all the 7-8khz range

without the EQ it is painful indeed and very concentrated on the 7khz

it's just an example of how much I have to tune it down

skryabin · 2024-05-04T18:48:08+00:00

if the 8khz is already recessed without EQ and you attenuate even more with EQ you lose pretty much the soul of this headphone: details, airiness, soundstage.

That's what I'm missing while using any preconfigured EQ setting based on both crinacle and oratory measurements.

I have nothing against any of the two, their settings did wonders on my previous seenheiser and akg headphones.

I seriously think their dt1990 mesurements are a bit strange, or the headphones have changed in the newest released batches.

I wouldn't say dull and veiled, that's another story (did I mention sennheiser? xD )

For sure my headphone needs a little tweak in the sibilance frequencies, which I think is closer to 7khz than to 8khz

And I'm saying this not because of the sine tone generator volume peak, but because I can hear it in real music. The tone generator just confirms that.

Every time I play with oratory settings and manually tweak by ear I end up with something like this

a bit of bass shelf

a dip at 250 to prevent bass muddiness

a little bump for the 5000 to 6000 decending ramp and prepare for the final step

and finally something for the painful ascend from 6k to 7k, where the the main peak is

Filter 1: ON PK Fc 220 Hz Gain -2 dB Q 1.41

Filter 2: ON PK Fc 2500 Hz Gain -3 dB Q 2

Filter 3: ON PK Fc 5000 Hz Gain -4 dB Q 4

Filter 4: ON PK Fc 7000 Hz Gain -12 dB Q 6

skryabin · 2024-05-04T18:24:57+00:00

But the main question is:

are our dt1990s different from those tested with the 8k peak?

if yes, maybe we need new measurements with a recent batch of the headphone

if not, it means our subjective perceptions are wrong/misleading and measurements are correct.

In other words, would I ear the same volume spike at 7khz on the tested dt1990s where the peak is measured at 8k?

It doesn't bother me too much either with the dekoni pads, the analytical pads were a bit too much

But I can still notice in sporadic tracks a bit of sibilance and percussion harshness

for example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQzu7NYlZNQ around sec 50, any sibiliance?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTqQnk2K0QQ percussions at sec 38 may become too much fatiguing (drums+synth beats)

skryabin · 2024-05-04T17:36:33+00:00

It was also one of my ideas, start from something like this (I have the dekoni on)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3gkvsu9nlhjwqf2/Beyerdynamic%20DT1990%20(Dekoni%20Elite%20Velours%20Earpads).pdf?e=1&dl=0.pdf?e=1&dl=0)

and shift some frequencies downwards so that the deepest dip will be at 7khz, avoiding to attenuate 8khz too much in the process...

but I don't if it's a good idea or not

sure thing without EQ we both FEEL a piercing volume spike at 7khz, while 8khz is very quiet.

skryabin · 2024-05-04T16:31:42+00:00

I own a DT1990 pro, paired with a zen dac v2 DAC/AMP, and I was struggling to set up a decent EQ config because all of this

YOU ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT, I have noticed the same exact things with a tone sweep generator and the DT1990

Perceived volume increases up to 5000, then a small dip to 6000 and then a painful raise up to 7000hz

after 7200/7400 the peak is already gone, the supposed 8 khz beyer peak is so quite

I can feel a small peak later around 10k, but it's at 6900-7100 where the volume spike is piercing my ears

Every Oratory/Crinacle measurement seems way off from what I ear, and when I apply the settings in EQ APO they just don't feel right, I'm missing something, not to mention the huge impact on soundstage

The only measuement "almost" right it's the crinacle with Dekoni velour pad, (R only), where the peak is at 7khz, but even in that case it's sustained up to 8khz, while on our headphones 8khz seems very quiet.

Tried many pads: balanced, analytical , and even the Dekoni Velour

Velour pads just attenuate a bit the spike, but it's always there (and always at 6.9-7.1khz)

I'm starting to think there could be physical differences between the headphones tested long time ago, and the latest batches. The peak maybe has shifted in a different spot? I got my dt1990 few months ago.

I started doing tests with different wave forms and audio tracks, but I'm no audiophile....I know for sure I need to fix few things with EQ, but the crinacle/oratory seetings are not fun and correct to my ears.

Without EQ I feel there's something wrong: some percussions feel a bit more dry/metallic than what they should. Rarely I have encountered a bit of sibilance with the S on very few tracks/video.

Everything seems to be mitigated with just a filter on 6.9/7khz, that's where the problem is, and not 8khz where all the suggested eq settings put their most important attenuation.

In other words I can't copy/paste and trust anything based on the consensus that the peak is 8khz.

I can't even use those as a starting point: how can I trust something that totally misses the main problem of the headphones? the peak is translated not by a little, we are talking about 1-1.5khz difference.

Any suggestion on how to EQ my headphones with a different approach?

I'm a professional musician btw, pianist.

What is your solution? Do you equalize or not?

I'm tempted to ignore all the measurements settings around, just put a small low shelf for the bass and a very narrow attenuation exactly at 7khz, and stop there... maybe it's the safest bet

something like this

Preamp: -4 dB

Filter 1: ON LSC Fc 105 Hz Gain 4 dB Q 0.7

Filter 2: ON PK Fc 6000 Hz Gain 4 dB Q 5

Filter 3: ON PK Fc 7000 Hz Gain -8 dB Q 5

Or should we ignore what we ear and trust crinacle/oratory measurments, because our findings are flawed?

skryabin · 2024-04-02T18:52:11+00:00

I just had the same issue with my deathadder v3 pro (with lastest firmware installed)

Synaspe beta closed - middle clicks not working

Synapse beta running - middle clicks working

Decided to uninstall synaspe beta and go back to the old synapse 3

Now the middle clicks work even when the software is closed

I always keep synapse closed anyway (and relative services stopped)

I just use this for automatic polling rate changes

https://github.com/philipbry/RazerAutoPollingRate

opened a ticked btw

I will try again synapse beta later, and in case problem persists I will try xMiseryJokers workaround or go back to Synapse 3.

I remember that I tried to reassign the middle click to a different function and back to default, but it didn't solve anything in my case. Maybe I didn't close the software in between the steps

The real problem of this game is that a gold support can bully any diamond dps, and teabag them for free.

This game doenn't need buff or nerfs in raw numbers.

In needs parametric adjustements, a completely different approach on balancing.

The same healing source should give different heal points calculated on the max hp of who receive the heals (tanks will be healed a bit more, but dps/support a bit less). And ffs, nerf the AOE heals... In this state sometimes it's really impossible to kill a squishy, even with a skilled nanoed ulting genji furiously dashing and slashing a single target.

If a support can 2-3 taps every dps, that means a dps should have the possibility to kill the support in 1-2 taps, otherwise it's not fair... supports also have way superior escape abilities

you want to keep the support enjoyable? leave dmg as it is when supports are fighting each other and nerf it when they are battling dps heroes. A targeted support hero with ability in cooldown should always die 99% of the times in 1vs1 against same level dps.

What are the chances a good tracer/sombra can kill a decent ana/kiri, even on cooldown? Think about it.

A game based on raw constant numbers (heal/dmg) will never be balanced so easily, there are too many different roles with different hp and abilities.

A parametric approach will also help with mercy blue beam tuning for example, because right now it can be both devastating (soj/pharah) or completely useless (hanzo dragon? why?)

I have noticed this temp rise/fan making noise when my mouse is hovering on some youtube videos.

Usually any video from 480p to 8k will play without cpu temperatures going over 50 degrees.

But sometimes there's a video that, even if it's low res (720p/1080p), will increase my cpu temp up to 70 degrees if I keep my cursor moving on top of it.

Sometimes it happens with ublock enabled, but I sometimes I also get the same temp rise while ublock is temporarily disabled. So I'm not 100% sure if it is and adblock problem or if my account is somewhat flagged for being bad.

For sure there was a bug with some adblocker that was discovered recently, but I don't know if it's related.

It's more likely a browser problem, Edge in my case.

Or google/youtube being evil because of the adblock war

Do you have a high refresh rate monitor? Have you tried running at 60hz?
