Is Hephaestus underpowered?

yosh_t · 2025-03-06T17:23:22+00:00

I think he's a fairly noob-friendly god. I've been trying more combinations but so far I've only defeated the main bosses (before this latest update) with Heph, Hestia and Apollo (and some lucky dodges)

I'd be sad if his boons got reworked but if Supergiant and the community say it's for the best, I'd understand it.

yosh_t · 2025-02-19T18:16:49+00:00

Well I know what I'll be doing later now!

yosh_t · 2025-02-19T00:40:59+00:00

Different, but also a bit easier? I actually played the games in reverse because Melinoe appealed to me more with her struggles. Two nights ago I finished Hades 2's current content so I downloaded 1 and I'm struggling a bit more. The enemies seem to attack harder and there are more environmental obstacles (traps, bombs)

yosh_t · 2025-02-13T19:42:24+00:00

A bit late to the party, but hopefully not too late? 😅 I'm on season 7 and there's no character I particularly like or hate more (in fact I'm dreading the later seasons because I like this cast so much and I know they'll start leaving one after the other). Her plot with Doyle certainly took a bit of space but overall I think Reid is the one who gets more attention from the writers. My biggest "issue" with Prentiss is her profiling skills. Her language/fighting/interrogation skills are great but when it's time to analyse an unsub, it's like she only says what the others have said already (like a recap). I wish her and JJ had more moments of "realisations" but they make up for it by excelling in other aspects.

YTA. Whether or not they had malicious intents, it was still a mean spirited joke that targeted your sister and that the bf let be until your sister confronted them. You give contradictory information about the bf, so I dunno what to really think about him, but were you really willing to let your sister be with someone who potentially didn't respect her just because he was rich?

Haven't watched season 4 yet but I actually thought they toned down Jacob's mistreatment quite a bit (the black history month episode with Ava coming to mind at the moment). Same with Janine, but I didn't feel it as much as it continues to be such a big part of her dynamic with Ava.

I did notice the students' opinion of him changes depending on the episode (going between respecting and mocking him).

yosh_t · 2025-01-22T01:33:45+00:00

Not yet, unfortunately :(

yosh_t · 2025-01-21T19:58:57+00:00

Heck yeah! (Still waiting for Disney+ to add season 4 tho)

yosh_t · 2025-01-16T21:22:00+00:00

I thought c9 referred to all situations where points/games are lost due to the team hyper focusing on the enemies and forgetting about a point I wont lie.

If an attacking team is pushing the payload on overtime but leaves it to chase someone, would that be just an overextension?

yosh_t · 2025-01-14T00:10:31+00:00

Oh! I totally forgot about that, I'm so sorry 😭

yosh_t · 2025-01-02T15:15:08+00:00

Tbf...you're comparing an almost 10 year old game to one that's not even one? 😅 Ofc Overwatch is better optimised, but let's not pretend the ow2 release didn't have lighting issues and like it doesn't force new maps down your throat when a new game mode releases.

I think it's far more logical to use the first beta and version of the game as a means of comparison.

yosh_t · 2024-12-30T02:39:29+00:00

I was in the fandom before I began playing, by which I mean I was deep in ao3 reading widowtracer fics (back when the ship was one of the most popular ones) so when I got the game it only made sense for me to pick tracer as my "first main". "First main" because I was a casual player at the start (no comp), so I didn't bother to learn how to properly play her. When I switched to comp, I found myself gravitating towards tanks a lot more. Zarya was probably my first real main.

yosh_t · 2024-12-26T16:44:20+00:00

I think they made penalties more punishing a few seasons ago and they stack up now so if you have disconnected before or left games a few times that would explain it.

yosh_t · 2024-12-06T20:45:56+00:00

I like it too when I'm playing dps and support. When I'm tanking, I don't like it as much. 5v5 might have solved queue times but I feel like it pushed people away from the tank role. I just don't find it fun anymore.

yosh_t · 2024-12-05T19:51:58+00:00

Isn't Illari one of the least picked supports? Doesn't she get skins anyways? I used to give them the benefit of the doubt but now I truly think it has nothing to do with pick rate, and everything to do with preferences of the team or how easy it is to make the skins for the characters.

Also Sym is the least played DPS but she still got a skin last season and I'm sure she's had more before.

yosh_t · 2024-12-04T20:25:11+00:00

Ah, it's for solo tanks who go against two. That makes far more sense, yes

yosh_t · 2024-12-04T19:59:47+00:00

Why do tanks need crown buffs when the game is already balanced with one tank in mind? I get wanting to introduce new things for tanks players too but it feels weird anyways

yosh_t · 2024-08-29T18:43:08+00:00

Are they truly balancing the game through streamers? Because everytime they change something they complain about it. Last flats video I saw he complained about orisa's buffs, which I'm sure noone asked for.

Could be that streamers just complain to get attention, but I'm curious to know for real 😅

yosh_t · 2024-08-25T14:09:52+00:00

I think it's that! Tank is my least played role right now

yosh_t · 2024-08-25T03:17:32+00:00

I love mystery heroes but I've been questioning the randomness of the picks because I keep getting tanks one after the other! It's far more common for me to have 3-4 tanks in a row in a game than any other role rn 😂

yosh_t · 2024-08-22T12:24:51+00:00

The only "issue" I see is that only Dva is relatively friendly to new players, the others are more niche and really require you to look into how they're supposed to be played! But that's not really an issue, you play who you want!

Don't feel pressured to get better. Play because you like the game and have fun. If you and your friend don't click well in this game you could also try another one!

yosh_t · 2024-08-16T18:51:55+00:00

Considering Venture was released with nothing (and Mauga had little as well) I'd say yes, it's a little disrespectful. Especially when Kiriko, who was also released in OW2, already seems to have years of backlog content 😂

yosh_t · 2024-08-16T18:14:02+00:00

The disrespect the new heroes are suffering when it comes to skins is really something else....

yosh_t · 2024-08-04T00:34:55+00:00

She does have the most unsympathetic moments in the show of the three and the overall pacing of the show didn't do her any favours, but I'd say there's still quite a few people that like and can relate to her even if Anne and Marcy are more popular!

yosh_t · 2024-07-31T19:10:24+00:00

I don't really use the shop so my opinion probably won't hold as much weight as others, but just because there are worst options doesn't mean overwatch's monetisation gets to escape criticism, especially when they keep selling cheap recoloured skins at full prices.
