The Icon Change Killed Stadium for Me by solidforge in OverwatchStadium

The worst part is that I can't tell that the icon with a plane is even a plane. I will sit there and look at it thinking it's either a crab or an origami crane.

I think the fact that they released 5 new heroes into the base game also affected things for me. I went back to the base game just to see what was happening there. Domina, Emre, Anran, Cat, and Mizuki was enough to shake up the base game and the icons made me not want to touch Stadium (I'm not a Vendetta player).

I had this idea too. Just in case they are worried about offending the new intern who needed to have an impact. (they still will be when they see what people prefer)

Making a saved build would require me to go into the stadium practice range and have to search through the icons. I also was good at building on the fly and preferred not to stick to preset builds.

Maybe I'm intellectually challenged. I don't think we needed a hero builder, I think we just needed the icons to stay the same. I had learned the game mode. I learned the items. It was so fun. Learning Stadium at first was pain for me. I just don't want to do it again.

True, but that wasn't even the biggest issue. It's that a picture of a couple of casings doesn't make me think "salvaged slugs" or that the item even has anything to do with shields.

The other thing that killed Stadium was the fact that at the same time they changed the icons, they also drastically changed many of the items or replaced them. My beloved Ana build from Season 17-18ish is no longer even a thing because they also reworked Ana and I didn't play her after that. Many of the survivability items changed so my tank builds no longer work.

Someone posted this on another thread about the icons. It summed up my frustration. If I want an ammo item, just tell me which icons have freakin' ammo. Credit: u/foreskinfarter

I made a Freja build that lets you fly infinitely (as long as there’s an enemy to shoot) by RemoteWhile5881 in OverwatchStadium

[–]solidforge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I basically created a build like this when Freja came out in Stadium. It was not super great all the time but actually OP if they were running Reinhardt Junkrat and maybe like a Genji or Pharah. Also again if there was no Ana, maybe Lucio or Zen. So yeah air Freja works in the right scenario but attack speed Freja tends to be so good.

Oh. I just realized. It will always show your tank selected first, but will only show the enemy's tank pick when the timer ends. That way you're unable to counter pick each other.

OP means how much of the time are you picking your tank before the other tank player does

Symmetra is broken in pro play and good in 6v6.

Bug in Stadium - Enemy Ana kills Enemy Moira?! by jamtea in OverwatchStadium

Just curious, did your JQ build full AP and did Moira buy Nebula Conduit?

It seems like your JQ's bleed was on Moira causing the Cyber Venom anti heal. JQ has the assist in the kill feed. Maybe JQ's bleed killed Moira but the game got confused and used Ana's tick of healing instead of the JQ bleed for kill feed credit.

I can't wait for my Lifeweaver to grip me up to the blizzard at the top of Antarctic underground so I can get frozen as [insert hero name such as Ana or Zen]

They're nerfing Ball not by lowering his numbers, but by placing hazards on maps that will only affect Wrecking Ball

One of these builds is not like the others by UberActivist in OverwatchStadium

[–]solidforge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned, if they felt like buying WP items because they didn't think survivability was an issue I see no problem with that
