@VoltsIsHere @mnsportsufferer @cartifan22_ @PlayOverwatch And if the smurf gets placed low, that's also another 10-20 games ruined of them smurfing to get their actual rank Like blizzard can't fix both. In S9 they made it insanely hard to fresh accs to hit GM and people still fucking complained about it. pick ur poison lmao

Windows 11 now supports refresh rates up to 5000Hz. The recent preview update removes the previous 1000Hz limit. This prepares the system for new high-end gaming monitors, such as the Acer Predator XB273U F6. (The update was temporarily pulled due to installation issues.)

@grucciflipfl0ps @frankiep423 His lifesteal perk is the most dishonest part of his kit already, he shouldn't have even that, let alone another option. Making Dragonblade into it's projectile variant would be really cool though, even if it had a limited range.

@frankiep423 Replace deflect with the Dragonblade projectile that heals him for a portion of the damage he deals.

@xxavier1875 @mnsportsufferer @cartifan22_ @PlayOverwatch No, but they'll ruin at least 10-20 matches *each* before they get back to Diamond. With how common these accounts are, it's going to be an issue for a long time unless they do something specifically targeting it.

@ShrekIsCool5 @SamitoFPS You can win 1v1's against tanks in 6v6, tank abilities are toned down and (or) on a longer CD, shields are weaker due to an additional hero shooting at them, double shield is not popular (or good 90% of the time), GOATs is almost never played. I'm Top 500 in 6v6, it's quite good.

@ShrekIsCool5 @SamitoFPS Ball isn't my "big complaint", game design is a passion of mine and when I see things that could be improved upon, I support change for it. You can't pull the skill issue card on a guy who's GM in every role and can play all but 3 heroes lol. Also, 6v6 is not like that at all.

@ShrekIsCool5 @SamitoFPS Ball makes sense in 6v6, easier to kill, his boop actually moves tanks, he can be dealt with without counterswapping due to a second tank to peel for their team, etc. He's supposed to be a disruptive tank with a unique playstyle, not an unkillable hero who can't lose a 1v1.

@ShrekIsCool5 @SamitoFPS You keep arguing that since he's not meta, he's not a problem. That's not the issue here, the problem is that he's incredibly unfun to play against, promotes swapping to counters (and is required most of the time), and his kit promotes a super selfish playstyle, awful for 5v5.

@AbbyAZK @Ryval_OW The grenade is definitely the place to start, but his gun is incredibly oppressive on it's own. His bursts do Cass gun damage at double the range, better survivability (almost can't lose 1v1's with pistol), MUCH better ult, more consistent burst with nade, it's just unhealthy.

@Ryval_OW I know they gonna go for Emre but if they wanna drop his pressure value anywhere, I just hope its the grenade and not the actual weapon itself, pre-buffs, it sucked so hard to rely on something so inconsistent.

State of OW rn: Fresh accounts every game throwing when inconvenienced in the slightest FPS issues Cheaters blatantly existing (some matches shut down) One tricks every game Emre is fun as fuck so at least there's that. (They're probably going to nerf him to stop that)

@mnsportsufferer @Seur101 @cartifan22_ @PlayOverwatch Except per fresh account that gets a way higher rank they deserve, it'll take 10+ "ruined" experiences for everyone on that guy's team because they're actually two ranks lower than they were placed. There's nothing healthy or efficient about this system.

@mnsportsufferer @cartifan22_ @PlayOverwatch Even if that was the purpose of it, it's not working correctly. There's many players who are literally Diamond players getting right into GM+ just by playing on a fresh account. People are being placed at least one entire rank above where they should be.

@cartifan22_ @PlayOverwatch Brother, it is designed this way to prevent smurfing against significantly lower ranked players. You rank up fast to get out of their games fast

@ShrekIsCool5 @SamitoFPS Issue is that it's not uncommon that he can get very high HP, because it takes many people to kill him, at least two just to get him to even disengage, usually 3 or more to ever kill a good Ball player.

@SamitoFPS The chance of ball playing correctly mind you against competent people getting this much hp is 0, not to mention the fact that if he does ever get this much hp it will dissapear in seconds because the ball will be giga feeding.

@SamitoFPS I've been saying for a while now that they should combine the challenger score system and drives, and then go back to the usual Top 500 for the leaderboard.

Champion 2 at 157 games played is apparently worth less than GM4 with 400 games played. Let that sink in This is WORSE than letting people rank camp, you've made lower rank players higher than high ranks. You could play 1 million games at GM4 and it wouldn't be worth C2. WHY?

@hatefullesbian @MiyuuMinaMao If someone says "never works" or "utopia" when talking about socialism or communism... it's a pretty clear indicator that they don't know what they're talking about, at all.

@MrBubblyTTV @bstategames If they had the main menu loaded while in-game... there's a lot of improvements to come if they take it seriously haha. It's clear that optimization was far from their top priority before.

@xTerotex It actually has quite a lot of loot but what holds them back from adding more is the amount of players on the map. There's a TON of duffle bags, jackets, cash registers, KIBA is usually really good, Techlight nets an easy 300k easily each run, ULTRA med got buffed and IDEA pharm

I sometimes wonder what stops the devs to just put more loot into the interchange mall You have streets with 3 duffle bags & tool boxes every corner of a random building and inter has a pack of apple juice in 5 stores

@LucifersTweetz Homelessness, poverty as a whole, free healthcare, free education, greatly improved infrastructure, and much more. And somehow with all these things, half the country (probably more lol) supports billionaires 💔

@SageJitsu @egor__2k It's unfortunate, really. I LOVE 6v6, I'm a GM player on all roles in role queue, and man it's just miserable in comparison. Gonna be Champ soon in Open Q but it doesn't feel nearly as good because you have Role Q Diamonds in Champ there 😭

@VoltsIsHere @egor__2k Open Q is still so unserious, had a four stack who were all gold-plat in role Q but masters in open Q just sucking air against Actual masters/Diamond players. The player base is still too small for a good sample size

@_SaturnOW_ CS should've removed friendly fire so many years ago, it's the source of so much trolling and griefing. FACEIT has it turned off when you play on their servere, it's so much nicer.

@bernkarstel I'd buy one or two $60 games a year, but if those same games were $20-30 instead, I'd buy 5-10 each year. A $60 game better have at LEAST 100 hours of gameplay 😭
