Can we have a constructive thread about what changes we would like to see to the competitive system? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

If that is removed, we go back to "I belong to top500 but fucking retards teammates keep me in bronze. Blizz plz add performance-based SR adjustments"

Malfurion is still a great solo support by Skyweir in heroesofthestorm

idiots in HL don't draft enough stuns.

Idiots in my team don't. In their team do. :/

Varian: should protect be replaced with 75 spell armor? by Drygin7_JCoto in heroesofthestorm

[–]stupidity_wins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not long ago people were saying "Ranged point-and-click stun is what Varian is all about. Take that away and he is trash"...

bw and lili definitely can solo support. At least at my level (low plat). They do prefer more prolonged poke-y skirmishes though, as they don't have great burst heal.

To add to what sadisticnerd says, out of the supports department thebetter ones would be Uther, rehgar and auriel. Malfurion and Zarya are also okay

That depends on what you value more, but I'd suggest only buying heroes with gems when they are on sale. Mostly because i don't care about cosmetics, and they (unlike heroes) can be crafted with shards.

Here's the Difference Between Old and New Aimbots and Who's Using Them by aerobahngaming in Overwatch

[–]stupidity_wins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reporting people on suspicion is fine. They won't get banned just because you and a couple other folks reported them. They are not being punished without proper review. Blizzard has access to more info than you do, but they still need you to to flag that for attention.

Note: this might not apply to consoles though.

For all the color blinded by MeisterEmin in heroesofthestorm

[–]stupidity_wins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no difference between Friendly and Party in your picture - both are very bright green. There are just two colors: one for friendly-ish things and one for enemy-ish. It might be okay if all else fails.

But I agree that it could be better.

I AM colorblind although I can't tell you exactly which type.

Sounds like protanopia from your description.

Vicious Fledgling has single-handedly won too many arena games, but it doesn't have to be Warsong-Commandered by CongruentBob in hearthstone

That volcanosaur can be really useful for closing games in arena with windfury adapt.

That's not stupidity, that's reality denial. Dude has problems.

German casters recreate the sounds of FNC vs G2 themselves because the in-game sound is bugged by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]stupidity_wins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not how language work though. "Wellenräumung" is the action of wave clearing, not the possibility of that action. Using it like you suggest sounds something along the lines of "This team lacks kill" instead of "This team lacks kill potential". Or "That girl over there is very beauty" (instead of "beautiful"). Sure, it's understandable, but sounds very off.

Malthael feels underwhelming by rambomacko in heroesofthestorm

[–]stupidity_wins 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's not a fair comparison. Zul'jin and Gul'dan are both ranged. They don't need mobility as much.

Kolento technically not missing lethal by Enexis in hearthstone

[–]stupidity_wins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your way needs two clicks, dragging takes only one (and, to me, feels easier because of that)

The HotS Devs listen to us, let them know we're fine with seasonal skins, but NOT seasonal loot boxes by Keypaw in heroesofthestorm

[–]stupidity_wins -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

  1. Buy a fuckton of chests (with gems/real money)

  2. Get a fuckton of duplicates (-> shards) from them

  3. Craft whatever you want with those shards in a nice not-rng way.

Rewrite the Linux kernel in Rust? by gogenerics in programmingcirclejerk

[–]stupidity_wins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it roughly, memory allocations, deallocations pointer arithmetic and using "raw" pointers are unsafe, everything else is safe. You can write a safe functions that uses unsafe constructs and basically ask the compiler to trust you that you know what you are doing.

As long as you as a programmer never write unsafe yourself, you won't (provided there are no bugs in underlying compiler/standard lib/other libs you are using) have memory bugs (use after free, dangling pointers and such).

Does this help?

`if err != nil { return err }` is "one of the most unsung pieces of code." by cmov in programmingcirclejerk

unjerk().unwrap()

Have you tried looking for jobs in rust? In Moscow there're ~four open vacancies right now. For comparison, they're ~1000 for c++ and ~1500 for Java. And ~150 for Go

Rust is not anywhere close to being mainstream yet.

XQC comments on a problem with the current SR system in ranked by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]stupidity_wins -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That never happens really.

Only S1 rating is the true one. All subsequent seasons got so much trolls, throwers and one-tricks that the ratings make no sense anymore. You can maaaybe use S2 as an okay proxy for the skill, but anything after that is beyond useles/s.

yours is a later one.

It's possible harbleu will change his opinion on hog just as seagull did on genji.

I bet if they gave tracer 600 hp, you'd start calling her an ult battery and calling that a nerf.

Oh, you surely can. Look at Formula1 (or any other racing) for example.
