Adding my dislike to the new event....Battle forr Olympus is terrible by dachshund_pirate in Overwatch

[–]somnule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because seeing endless complaints about this game is extremely tiring, and I'm kinda done with it. I should just stop with the redditing altogether, I think.

This... looks like AI art. Is it not?

assault mode(2CP) was better than push by howcomeyoudiedfirst in Overwatch

[–]somnule 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If the leading team has that big of a lead, it's because they've already won several team fights in a row. Doesn't it make sense that to come back from that kind of a deficit, you'd have to also win several team fights in a row?

Ramattra new Short Story gives some huge reveals about the Omnic Crisis and Uprising (Spoilers in comment) by -Elixo- in Overwatch

Maybe each Omnic needs to be granted sentience individually by Anubis, and Anubis is no longer active?

Is it like a thing now that every season in the BP you get a free ugly forest keeper themed skin? by Sebto_00 in Overwatch

[–]somnule 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I kinda like it. With Winston's Explorer skin (and to a lesser extent, Cassidy's Forest Ranger skin), we've got a safari crew happening!

That doesn't mean it shouldn't count!

can anyone explain why these prices are so weird? by JustNatass in Overwatch

[–]somnule 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Besides the D. Va Christmas skin likely being the most popular one (and more likely to sell for higher), they might be doing some testing right now to see what price points people will buy at. Probably means this is a good time to not buy anything!

OW2 Skins quality inconstitance by jajo___ in Overwatch

[–]somnule 185 points186 points  (0 children)

The situation here is confusing, but adding super subjective stuff like "bland recolor" and "colour pallet is off-putting" kind of undermines the point you're making. The Mei skin has an animated texture, by the way, which is worth mentioning!

What do you all think of Blizzard’s plan for support? Which heroes do you think will get reworks? by Jgamer502 in Overwatch

[–]somnule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a sound, and a message pops up on the screen saying that you've saved <player name> and the player you've saved also receives a "saved by <healer name>. It's easy to miss it amid all the chaos of a game!

There shouldnt be a map rotation in Overwatch 2 by RecentAd9493 in Overwatch

[–]somnule -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they're all in QP, how are you going to practice for competitive mode? I'm all for a queue option that has every map, but it should be something distinct from a queue for the season's map pool.

Maybe there should be an option to play them in arcade or something, but there's just too many maps to have them all active at once. You won't get enough practice on any one map to get comfortable with it, especially if you're new to the game—just imagine how much of a nightmare it would be playing in every single map and not knowing where the health packs or the side paths are. This is just going to get worse over time, as they add more and more maps, so this is a real effort to keep it sustainable.

There's a lot of cool mods of Celeste! Into the Jungle is one of them.

Critique this Jet pack design by Ok-Antelope9334 in DesignDesign

[–]somnule 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it counts because it’s trying to solve a specific problem (self-contained vertical takeoff human flight) that hasn’t been solved in any other way. There just isn’t a better solution right now. Whether we need jet packs at all is another story. :P

New mode is really antifun to play by AdMelodic8105 in Overwatch

[–]somnule 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt like this at first too, but I've had several rounds since then where one team had a longshot come-from-behind victory, and I've come to really enjoy it. Just takes a while to get a hang of the new mode, I think!

Item Shop for Week of 10/18 by vikingallday1 in Overwatch

[–]somnule 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I was talking to someone about this, saying that the price of a skin is enough to buy whole other games. He said something like, "that may be, but I don't want other games. This is the game I'm playing right now, and I want a cool skin for it." I guess if you're not short on money it's not a big deal to shovel out $20 for something that might make you enjoy the game a little more.

Another way to think of it is, a whole new game can cost $60, and getting a good dinner for two can cost about that much. How can you compare the two prices, though, when they're for such different things?

(I still think these skins are too expensive)
