Overwatch players, I'm begging you... there are other games you can play

amother thumbnail comm for @HarmlessPoke (minus the cat)!! thank youuu

1. increase the skill floor on brain dead DPS heroes like Bastion/Reaper 2. Tweak the tank passive to account for things like anti-nade, discord, DPS passive, and other debuffs 3. Introduce counterplay to tanks that don't have CC counterplay (Doomfist/Ball) 4. Adjust tanks like Roadhog/Mauga/Orisa that are overly reliant on self-sustain for survival, even considering hitbox/mobility tweaks, and tanks like Reinhardt that are missing QoL stuff finally, BONUS is to consider the dopamine response of shooting Tank hitboxes, and consider introducing better mitigation (that is less satisfying) for tanks and/or adjusting hitboxes accordingly

@HikuAzn Solo play potential has nothing to do with the s9 changes (directly at least), but rather the characters being played.

Genji dopamine is gone, its so boring with low burst potential play in season 9 now. All you do now is poke and go in with team. So little room for solo play 🥲

@corbbbbbbbb @SamitoFPS Damn, I really don't know how to play other heroes, jeez! (s2 to prove I didn't get inflated up the ranks) The baseless statements are honestly a classic twitter moment, and so is the inability to read anything that isn't conductive to your own narrative...

@HarmlessPoke @SamitoFPS Genji players are so soft it’s actually hilarious. They just int games and then cry about toxicity. Maybe learn a new hero so you don’t get flamed when you’re running the game down against the heroes who counter you.

@SamitoFPS it's one thing for you to trashtalk during a match, but it's unacceptable for your community to witch hunt me outside of it. Can you do something about it?

@SamitoFPS @BurgerBilly0 @corbbbbbbbb Every single time I get a match with you I get these comments, denying it is refusing to take accountability for the community you fostered You have time and time again shown immaturity in the conversation, and now you are doubling down on your imaginary view of the situation...

@HarmlessPoke @BurgerBilly0 @corbbbbbbbb showing your global deaths per 10 on genji doesn't make him the right pick into winston moira comps man you just don't get the game, it's fine... No one is witchhunting you, but at some point you gotta accept OTPing genji and inting other people's games is on you

@SamitoFPS @corbbbbbbbb Keep pushing your fake agenda, I'm sure that the more you repeat a lie the more true it sounds in your head

@HarmlessPoke @corbbbbbbbb It’s not toxic masculinity dog you’re just inting games I’m sure ur not a bad kid but it is what it is you’ve done it for like 20 seasons

@BurgerBilly0 @corbbbbbbbb @SamitoFPS x.com/HarmlessPoke/s…

@HarmlessPoke @corbbbbbbbb @SamitoFPS Mayb don’t force Genji every single game and int off cd and this won’t happen

@SamitoFPS "running it down" LOL I have one of the smallest amounts of deaths/10mins on Genji in Top500, but sure, keep up your headcanon =)

@HarmlessPoke I’ll be real man I don’t condone people witch hunting anyone That being said with all of the games you’ve just run down on genji without swapping that’s bound to happen whether I condone it or not

@corbbbbbbbb @SamitoFPS Ah yes, the classic toxic masculinity response, "grow a pair bud". When will we finally move on from such a childish mindset?

@HarmlessPoke @SamitoFPS When you run the game down on genji against Winston/Moira that’s gonna happen whether Samito condones it or not which he doesn’t. Grow a pair bud

@BurgerBilly0 @SamitoFPS If he has said that I'm not aware of it as I don't watch his content due to his toxicity. With that being said, what I said here is still true: x.com/HarmlessPoke/s…

@HarmlessPoke @SamitoFPS You can’t really blame him when he had nothing to do with it. He didn’t send anyone over and he has said an uncountable amount of times to not do this. People have free will 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Notless408 @SamitoFPS It is partly his fault as he sets the example to his community (which is why I make sure to say on stream to not harass players performing poorly in a match with me)

@HarmlessPoke @SamitoFPS Things from the game should not leave the game, and i know it's not exactly @SamitoFPS 's fault but if he is trashtalking someone and his audience learns from it, then he is being a negative example. Hope something can be done about it

more thumbnail art work for @HarmlessPoke :D

zenyatta for @HarmlessPoke thumbnail, thank u for commissioning me for this silly ol drawing :D

Looking to get a head start in Season 9? On February 17th at 5PM GMT-3, I will discuss the state of Genji and general balance of the game with the community! To participate, all you have to do is join my discord server and show up to the event! discord.gg/26GxNss7?event…

OW2 Patch First Thoughts: I like these changes. I think needing more shots to kill makes fights much more interactive. More shots to kill also emphasizes movement and teamplay. You can dodge the follow up after tanking a spam headshot, or save your teammate who was caught unaware. The obviously most controversial changes are the hitbox changes. Generally, I think people complaining about how this ‘kills skill expression’ are stupid. OW has near instant movement acceleration that allows players with great movement mechanics to evade a large fraction of incoming damage. Almost every hero in the game has some kind of unique movement ability. Many heroes can offensively disrupt your aim with boops or force you to change targets rapidly with defensive skills. Shooting at bots standing still to show how the hitbox is ‘so enormous’ and how aiming is ‘so easy now’ is actually offensively stupid. It’s not remotely realistic to how aiming actually feels in a real game when the enemies shoot back (and boop you, and get speed amped, and blink behind you, etc. etc.) In short, aiming in OW is plenty difficult. There is a lot of room to make it easier without ‘removing’ the skill expression inherent to aiming in Overwatch. Overall I think these changes reward highly skilled and consistent aimers because more shots to kill generally favors a stronger player. One lucky shot is not enough, you have to be consistent and keep landing shots on a player who will dodge and fight back. Beyond this, though, the game is MORE FUN. I’ve played long time-to-kill FPS games for over a decade now for one simple reason: I love popping off and chaining insane shots one after another. Now Overwatch is making those shots more consistent while also making that kind of back to back combination more crucial to my success in the game. TL;DR: Hitmarkers give me dopamine and now I get MORE dopamine yay

@cragmites Yeah, but it doesn't justify the victim complex Genji mains seem to develop despite making awful decisions

@HarmlessPoke he's still one of the lowest reward to effort ratio in the game tho

Genji mains in a nutshell

Thanks @PlayOverwatch !!!
