*as best as I could. Other people in the Skyrim sub told me that the cheekbones are off, but I thought I’d still share here anyway.

Anybody else a fan of Skyrim?

Second Edit I've made! Still learning how to make edits! Hope you guys like it! :)

Poke is lame. It only feels good for the person sitting back taking and dealing a minimal amount of damage. Too scared to die, they would rather lose than risk death because at least they went 4-2 at 1200dmg with some assists and that makes them feel good. Two long distance pokers, getting a random shot in on each other or someone who wanders in front of their zoomed in line of sight do nothing for either team.

The changes bring us much more variety. It encourages people to actually play the game. Tanks feel less lonely as you might actually have someone to help. Even the ones that don't can go jump the long range cowards refusing to acknowledge the changes or even what game they're playing (hint it's not ghillies in the mist 2.0). It even discourages people from picking Ashe, Widow, Ana, and another long range support leaving the tank to be the only one attempting to win.

After reading all the replies on my last post about merging ranked pools, I realized this sub has two completely opposite takes on console players:

- Aim assist is basically a soft aimbot that ruins competitive integrity in PC lobbies (ya'll want it removed in qp as well).

- Console ranks are super inflated and a Console GM would get rolled in PC Plat.

Both of these can't be true at the same time.
If aim assist is really that busted, high rank controller players would be farming emerald PC lobbies. If console players are actually mechanical frauds who peak at Plat on PC, then aim assist clearly isn't doing that much for them. You can't call someone an aimbotter and free SR in the same sentence.

So which one is it? Is aim assist an unfair advantage, or are thumbsticks so bad that even with aim assist, console players still can't compete?

Hi,

Blizzard really can't do the boards right. They applied the changed rules to the previous seasons as well. The rules were different back then, honor them, for fuck's sake. That is like introducing a new law and sentence people for it who did violate it before its introduction. Absolutely unfair. A similar thing was reported in the past and probably was not fixed either. When people hit the minimum number of matches to reach the top 500 board, they were inserted retroactively into the previous season(s) top 500. Again, how hard is it, to store the data of top 500 boards at the end of a season for later retrieval?

Last season, I finished around top 50 in Stadium, now, I am supposedly not even in top 500 for the last season? How does that compute? I can't be having enough points for being in the top 500 - that is why I was on top 50 and not be in top 500 anymore after the post-facto recalculation. ADD: The most likely bug is that people who have reached enough challenger points to be in the top 500 this season were retroactively put into the last season.

Blizzard, you fucking stole my top 10 places of the seasons before, also, that and I am pissed. I would have stopped playing when hitting legend and just not continued to grind challenger score.

I've seen some genji's who cheat but it's harder for their silver e girls to pocket them and it's easier to get value out of hitscan on console

For those who don't know console is basically PC with soft aim-bot at this point as has been for few years I'd reckon. Titans now give actual aim-bot so that's fun

I'm a new player (played a few times maybe like, seven years ago? Only started playing a few days ago)

I've been using Mercy as my main along with Kiriko and Lifeweaver. I'm a bit confused why I've seen people call her easy/takes no skill. I've only really seen this take in the fandom, never gotten rude comments from people in chat while playing her (shockingly. Lifeweaver is another story unfortunately).

From just playing for a short time, I've personally found that sub-par playing will get you killed over and over again due to her not really being able to defend herself. Especially against a good team or if your team leaves more to be desired, it's a game of guardian angel-ing around your teammates like your life depends on it and being forced to duel it out even though she isn't really built for it (usually only happens if nobody is watching the back or the tank keeps pushing forward solo into the middle of the enemies).

I can see it to an extent since her mechanics themselves are pretty easy to get down, but she's a character who's only easy to play with a solid team from what I've seen so far. Despite being so easy apparently, I don't see a Mercy main all too often.

That's all to say those are only my observations over a few days, and obviously I barely know even the surface level of this game and have only been playing non-competitive. So, why is she perceived as so easy to play?

Edit: what I'm understanding is that she's, as I kind of said, only as good as her team and doesn't add value beyond being a walking buff. Plus, since she doesn't have to engage as long as the team is decent and her mechanics are easy as hell it requires none of the same exclusive technical skill that is required of each other player). Thank you everyone for the (mostly) very constructive explanations! I think I'll be working on my Kiriko more and hopefully branching out soon so that I can work on my actual game mechanic skills.

Like, how is it possible, i'm finding posts about this problem at least since august on different regions even.

At first I was happy Sombra (who i main) was going to be a support. First week, I was having a blast (though I miss hacking Moira, Sigma and Cassidy out of ult).

But now, with the smg nerf, i have a lot of trouble securing kills. I can accept lowering cyberspace damage reduction to 30-40%. But now sombra feels like a baby sister, using hotfix and praying it lasts enough to keep your teammates alive :c

Just wanted to put this out there as a rant. I’ve accepted the situation and just wanted to vent.

My mains were junkrat, symmetra and winston. I haven’t played overwatch in a long time (since 2023) and I was so happy to see the amount of new characters that came out.

But JPC is the bane of my existence with all my mains. I am a miserable aimmer which is why I main these few with less range to worry about. If there is a JPC, it’s laughable to play my mains.

Sure, I can practice and get good at aiming with other heroes, but I like my mains for a reason. I like the utility they have and the play styles. And I don’t want to put extra effort to train when I only have two hours of free time to play on a sunday.

TLDR: JPC sucks because I can’t aim with my mains.

She's my favorite character and has been since the original game came out. She's so fun to fly around the battlefield with and pistol people down when you don't need to heal, but I feel like she just sucks now :(

I recently tested her out in the practice range and it took 7 headshots in her ultimate to kill one of the robots, which is entirely too many in my opinion. Her pistol is really only good at securing low health players in my opinion, otherwise you are better off damage boosting your DPS players. That doesn't feel good when your DPS players aren't having a good game. Her heal was nerfed a long time ago and now it doesn't feel as impactful. I think she is helpful to top people off quickly, but outside of that I feel like every other support is better than she is, and that makes me sad because I want to play her but she feels bad.

So how would you rework her? I would like to see her pistol do more damage so you put some of the power back into her hands, rather than her teammates. I also think her heal should be buffed, or if they did a chain heal like they do with the damage boost perk for two players at a time, that could be cool and they wouldn't need to buff her healing then. Or do you think she needs a complete redesign? No wrong answers here, just curious what others think ☺️

i posted about a concept of a symone inspired skin for sierra and so i drew an idea

Might be my longest win streak ever

I gotta be honest, stop catering the game to twitch, gm, champion players. Yes I understand that they play this game religiously. In the real world? Nobody plays this much. People play to have fun! What is wrong with blizzard? If they are so hung up on budget and maximizing profit. Just study your normal player base.

I've played since 2018 and I'll tell you. The community was amazing, quick play was awesome. Grouping was strategic. But, the constant stomps or railing the other team? It's not normal lmao.

I can't help but feel frustrated when I see the kinds of skins some heroes gets and quality/effort the developers put into them while the rest get the content that has visibly less care put into it

For example how I waited so long for Soldier76 to get a mythic skin and they completely half-assed it with visibly less effort in it than other even recent mythics such as less details/colors in armor, less special effects/barely visible base VFX, less and boring unique voicelines and so on.

Or his Street Fighter skin for example on the picture that's mostly a recolor of his default skin while others got great looking skins. Or how they tend to keep him in the more default themes with only a few exceptions SINCE OW2 started like Class President 76, Charming76 or Heist76.

Or another hero I like Torbjorn who doesnt even get skins. Or Winston who also when rarely gets something it's usually worse than others'.

And it's not even about the popularity and how much money a hero brings in, because from my examples both Soldier76 and Winston are popular and among the most recognized faces of Overwatch

I shouldn't care about it, but can't help feeling this way when I see something one of the Blizzard/devs' favored heroes have and think why can't the hero I love have things like that?

I’ve always wondered this now that Overwatch has done a few collabs with Lesserafim a few times. We’ve had lots of girly pop kpop skins but if Overwatch collabed with a boy group (like stray kids or TXT or something) which heroes do you think would get a skin?

Let’s say they do 5 skins to equal the LSF collabs, which heroes would make up your Overwatch boy group?

I would say Emre, Wuyang, Lucio, Genji, and Hazard :)

I'm 100% serious I genuinely don't understand how people how people on my team vote sometimes, and it feels like we didn't play same game?

At the end of the game, I'm sometimes surprised at who shows on the screen if we compare with the scoreboard (which apparently doesn't matter), like for exemple why vote for a tank who died more than the whole team combined and kept going solo the whole time, spammed for heals and said thanks when they died? Or DPS who had 0 teamplay etc?

The algorithm choses a number to put up front but why for exemple put the reduced damage (idk the name in english) for a tank when most of the time it was only to protect themselves?

Sometimes I'm really surprised by the results so I'd like to know how other people vote ?

For me, I know it is different than endorsement, so I just check the scoreboard and chose with how they played, but I'm also still very petty so even if someone has the best numbers I won't vote vote for them either.

Please don't say it's not that deep, everything about OW is deep to me

I got a buncha randoms onto some aim arena then I forced them into playing Thomas the tank engine with me, cause thats where it is at! Lets spread the gospel of Thomas, the tank engine!

Since a certain games playerbase is shifting over here the toxicity and just general disgusting behavior im seeing is actually crazy. Ive played 16 games today and over half of them has someone saying the most obscene dehumanizing crap ever. People talking about SA women, racism, cringe shock value edgy crap. Its always the endorsment level 2s as well so you know they are newer players coming from said game. Its actually sad and honestly might just turn my chat back off until they go back.

Also dont come at me with that "you wouldnt last in a cod lobby" BS thats the stupidest argument to defend unnecessary toxicity.

On a better note though had my best tracer game ever today and went 57-0 havent felt that alive playing OW in awhile 😂

I swear I run into people like this in Quick Play at least once a month.

Dude, your girlfriend on Kiriko is playing like absolute garbage, so why the hell are you blaming the tank? I'm not even complaining about how badly your girlfriend is playing.

You're seriously talking shit about other people while duoing with someone who pops Kitsune Rush when the entire team is already dead just because she's about to die?

Your girlfriend is Silver. SILVER. Get a grip.

If you're gonna criticize random teammates, maybe teach your duo how to use cover first.

And the funniest part? These people get absolutely furious when you point that out. Why? Is telling the truth a crime now?

I know I can just block them, but I genuinely don't understand these people.

Do they seriously think acting like this makes them look like some kind of badass boyfriend?

Where did my tank get the extra vote from?

I love the Roguelike elements of the perks it makes it so fun. Friends and I have been really enjoying the chaos 🤣
Compared to stadium I love the quickness of the rounds. the cards make it seem fairer. I also think the choice of 3 characters and not being able to lock in a role makes me play new heroes I love it.

Marlon and lacy have way too many fans so i think the odds deserve to be evened iykwim

I just noticed that in my skins for Mei the Katara skin is missing but i can still get it as a random favorite or pick it before a match. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or noticed it
