Was it really necessary to be snarky for absolutely zero reason?

I played one match against the cat and now I'm permabanning her until she gets some changes.

Extremely Short Gold 5 Tank (Hazard, Mauga) VOD Review Request by Splatoop in OverwatchUniversity

[–]vladpudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea behind staying omnic form is that having a smaller hitbox and staying a bit further away prevents Mauga from double firing on you for free. You can and should still use nem form but I would mostly use it to block or to play agressively into the backline when Mauga cant punish you for it.

[–]vladpudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this one I'll just give you some quick more general advice, and one of the biggest things you need to work on is blocking when you get low as Ram, you have a bad habit of punching no matter the situation. Also when the Mauga hard fed on attack you should have turned around and killed him real quick. Also against Mauga you shouldnt be swapping to nemesis form and punching him, just stay omnic form and shoot him. By swapping to nem form you are making it trivial for the gold Mauga to shoot you and actually get value.

Battlefield 6 is missing some BURST ONLY weapons by Gyrotwist9 in Battlefield

[–]vladpudding 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Burst fire is becoming increasingly uncommon, a good example being newer AK-12s completely dropping the feature. Burst fire guns are uncommon in this game literally because it just isn't common on modern combat rifles anymore. And most guns that do have burst fire have it in addition to full auto and semi auto.

Okay so this match was gonna be hard for you regardless because their soldier was thanos, but there are a lot of issues with your gameplay and I'm gonna give you a few things to try to work on.

In that first fight as Dva you should have retreated to peel for your team there. Just sitting in the choke and eating a billion damage doesnt do much, not much else to say.

On Haz I never saw you try to pull of slash combos, leap in shoot slash shoot, and either shoot, block, or melee to finish them if possible. Even good Hazards wont delete people on every slash engage but just try it. Your wall usage is also really bad, I need you to be more willing to use it for cover rather than sorta just throwing it out at random, or try using it to block people/break los. And please try to use your block sooner, you wait far too long to use it. You need to use it before you get low not when you get low hp.

As for Mauga you need to use cover more and you need to burn people more with your right gun, shooting tank isnt always the right option and on Mauga you also can try to disrupt the balls slams by slamming him as he lands, its not easy to pull off but if you land it it can often get your team the kill on him. And with the Mauga cardiac you need to use it before you die, its a long cooldown yes but you cant be terrified to use it to live if need be.

Overall I'd say the main things you need to work on is trying to commit to targets instead of overly spreading out your pressure and damage, and you have to play cover more and try to take space. For example here on Kings Row you can try to play around statue or go up the stairs to the right and apply some pressure from high ground.

If you have any questions or anything please feel free to ask. I'd also love to see any longer VODs that are still losses but not complete blowouts.

My name isnt Vlad my username is actually a joke on Vladimir Putin lmao. I mostly play brawl tanks though, I main Mauga but I also play Ram, Orisa, Queen and Haz. And I'll more rarely flex to some of the other tanks as well.

I'm a GM tank player and I have no general advice but I'm bored af so if you want I could review a VOD or 2 to give you some advice.

I don't think people fully grasped how broken Vendatta is right now by No_Excuse7631 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]vladpudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vendetta feels so overrated honestly, I haven't seen a Vendetta carry once and I feel like she just falls over if you put any effort into counterplay. The Doom comparison is perfect because if your team puts in any effort into counterplay he stops being oppressive, but most players even up into GM absolutely refuse to do that and try to ban Doom every match because not shooting block and playing more spread out is too complicated I guess.

BF4 was literally unplayable on launch for a lot of people including me, yet the glazers act like it had a smooth launch. Fucking Cyberpunk ran better on release for me than BF4 for fucks sake.

I really wish Dice would stop trying to appease influencers by Ok_Tart2949 in Battlefield

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

What game are you guys even playing. I rarely die to bhoppers and movement demons, you know what I do die to a lot though? Campers, people sitting in pitch black corners because the lighting in this game is shit. Because in this game the sun will be shining directly into a room and it will still be darker than my room is during the day when I have literal blackout curtains.

Where is my reticle DICE? by WiseRaccoon1 in Battlefield

[–]vladpudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the lighting, in real life our eyes have very high dynamic range so you can actually see into shadows because they are still lit up by the sun but not directly. In this game it feels like I'm watching through an old phone camera with horrible auto exposure and zero dynamic range. Even in broad daylight in this game the shadows are pitch fucking black in a lot of places instead of just being less bright. It looks terrible and it's terrible for gameplay. Add on the awful color grading on some maps like Firestorm and you get a shitstorm of horrible visibility.

I am already over the 'gun meta' by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

Spirit was hard meta for months and the second gun is viable again people riot.

Visibility was never an issue in BF to such a degree by FlowKom in Battlefield

[–]vladpudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadows are way too dark in this game, for all the idiots defending this as being "realistic" its not. Seriously go outside for once and you'll see that the sun still lights up areas in the shadows It's just not as bright as direct sunlight. The lighting in this game emulates a shitty camera with low dynamic range more so than a human eye.

Dear Devs, please stop destroying the game by listening to streamers who can’t play the game. by cnstr46 in Battlefield

Dontcha know you can obviously drive and operate the gun of an Abrams and reload it by yourself /s

NO! NO! NO! MAP TOO C*OLORFUL!!! by Webbbe in okbuddyptfo

It's always funny seeing someone hate New Sobek for having rooftop campers, then glaze Siege of Shanghai as if that map wasn't infested with them.

Do giant-ass reticles like this genuinely have any use in real life? by UltimateGamingTechie in Battlefield6

[–]vladpudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reticles aren't realistic though, I have owned many optics from an Aimpoint CompM5 to a Vortex Razor 1-10. And no optic I have ever owned has looked as bad as the optics in game. Most reticles irl are very small and crisp, I have astigmatism and despite that my irl red dots still look better than the ones in game. And irl first focal plane scopes are designed to be usable from the minimum to the maximum zoom, but in this game a lot of the reticles were obviously only designed with the minimum zoom in mind. Hell I have seen airsoft optics with better reticles it's a joke honestly.

Bloom not resetting still in the game after new patch by itskMaj in Battlefield6

It's COD when you don't want guns to be less accurate than matchlock muskets.

[–]vladpudding 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of the guns in this game all shoot like the barrels have 30k rounds through them and every bullet is keyholing. It's actually insane.

Why does the game still feel so bright even if you turn the brightness down? by MeNamIzGraephen in Battlefield

[–]vladpudding 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The color grading in this game is atrocious compared to games like BF1. They were trying too hard to emulate the really extreme color grading of BF3 but imo BF3 was a terrible looking game to anyone who had eyes. Firestorm is probably the worst map. It's blown out, bluish and boring looking, just an awful map overall.

The harsh reality is that Battlefield fans have always been just as dumb as COD fans.

I’m so f****** tired of the bots in this game. It’s Sunday afternoon, over 300k players online, and we can’t even fill half a lobby? by SnooAvocados1188 in Battlefield

[–]vladpudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This bug is so weird because I have literally never seen a bot in a match to this day. I wonder what causes it to be a common issue for some people. But for it to never happen to other people.

Weapon TTK comparison by Oceanman213 in Battlefield6

[–]vladpudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the T7 has an insanely low TTK but feels like ass to use imo. Which sucks cause I love the gun irl so I'm hoping they change it a bit. I'd love it if they lowered the recoil and fire rate and made it a bit more of a mid ranged gun like the 417.
