MOD POLL: Banning Twitter (and Facebook/Instagram) On This Subreddit

63 Upvotes

Hello everyone! After numerous recent events, we've received requests to ban Elon Musk and Meta-owned social platforms on this subreddit. Recently, Elon Musk performed a Nazi salute (twice) at a conference. Outside of that, his actions and handling of Twitter has mostly been to uplift antisemitic, racist, homophobic, and sexist voices. Meta recently made changes to their TOS rolling back all protections against any marginalized groups, one example being that they allow users on the platforms to refer to members of the LGBTQ community as mentally ill.

We would like to put the judgement in the hands of the community, so we will abide by the results of this poll. I want to remind you all of our subreddit rules, especially rules 1 and 2, if you choose to reply to this post with your opinion.

Truly enjoyable to almost reach a new PB rank and have it ripped out of your hands by 5 back to back leavers for having the weakest mental I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. Just fucking sad. Think I am finally done with this game entirely.

Highlight Day 4 in OW and Loving It (Some Ranked Clips)

10 Upvotes

.::All Day-4 clips::.

As I mentioned in my post 5 days ago, titled “new to ow, longtime moba player”, I’ve been having a ton of fun in Overwatch! I finally unlocked my ranked after playing a lot of Quickplay to get 20 wins.

I thought I would main kiriko, but I ended up enjoying illari the most. I started ranked at bronze 4 because I kept losing a lot of my early games, but I’ve been climbing steadily and am now around silver 4–5.

I’ll keep grinding and learning, and I hope you enjoy the video if you decide to watch it. These are all day 4 clips, and today will be my day 5. I’d really appreciate any suggestions on what I can improve!

I've never been GM - I've only really briefly even been master. I don't know if the hero SR is based on your win rate compared to other heroes on your own profile or just your win rate in general but I find this discrepancy pretty funny

Question Is it worth switching from rivals

132 Upvotes

Ive played rivals since release and its my first hero shooter but my main was nerfed to oblivion and Im thinking about switching to ow2. Besides my main are there any other positives that would make it worth it as learning all the ow characters and abilities seems like it will take a lot of time and effort

Question stadium points in s18

Upvotes

hi everyone i just hit pro a few days ago and thought i would for sure be losing points for losses now but i haven’t and i’m starting to get suspicious🤣 can anyone in allstar/legend let me know if they’re losing points in those ranks now for losses? i know they said you’d be able to gain some for rounds won in close games even if you’re team lost overall. i haven’t gotten any for close games either which is okay. not complaining though i’m just curious, thanks in advance!

Question How do you feel about DPS in stadium?

Sometimes DPS seems to be the quickest queues and I'm wondering why. Personally I don't mind the role, even though I don't play much DPS in the main game

Discussion Slow Leveling of Characters

0 Upvotes

Title says it all. My heroes are leveling up a millimeter on the wheel at a time, it seems too slow to be practical. At this rate, it will take over a year to go up ten levels. Is this intentional? I definitely leveled up far quicker with the old system. Is there some way to level them up faster? I feel like I'm missing something with how unreasonably slow the new progression system is.

Discussion Does anyone else feel like there is a cc creep issue?

42 Upvotes

I remember at the start of overwatch 2 they said something about trying to lessen the amount of cc in the game and restrict it to the tank role. Did they just forget about this design philosophy. ignoring the tanks, half of the new characters they've added have some form of cc in their kit. Surely this is just gonna lead to the same problem of no-one wanting to play tank.

Guide Tips for you to enjoy competitive and not get tilted with bad teammates

6 Upvotes

TL;DR your teammate throw, hit report button, your teammate toxic insult you, hit report button, don’t try to argue these kind of people cuz they won’t change but your account will be more likely to get banned.

You try hard in a normal competitive game like everyone else and you play good, but then your teammate who got diffed by opponents start to whine and assault you and be toxic. Normally you will go mad since you carried your team but your incompetent teammates literally put all responsibility on you. it’s really frustrating, not everyone has amazing mentality to tolerate such things

Here is my experience on how you actually improve your mentality, not getting tilted due to toxic teammates, or even argue with them and get your account punished.

First, the best case is definitely you try hard and carried, your team praised you, you get many endorsements even if your team lose, then it’s nothing to worry about.

However, getting unfair matches is inevitable when you play comp. It is wised to consider not putting 100% effort on a weak-sided match especially when you see all your teammates are getting diffed. No matter how hard you try you still lose, why not put less effort so you don’t feel it’s a big loss after investing so much and get a lose.

The even worst case scenario is you tried your hardest and carry, but your 4 stack teammates played trash and blame on you (cuz they can’t find anyone to blame except you). When you encounter this, you are strongly advised to stop trying your hardest and chill play the rest of the game as it’s not worth it to carry 4 terrible teammates to win (Why not save your energy for the next game). If they started to be toxic and assault you, just don’t engage with them cuz they are probably gonna report you if you argue with them (Getting acc suspended after carrying games is the worst ending you could ever have). Instead, you can simply hit a report button, and report them whenever you see them (sometimes you can face them for several games consecutively). They will all be mad for 7+ days and post ”why I get banned by saying ‘gg’?” Do not argue with them since you can’t change any outcome by typing in chat, but elevate the risk of getting banne since they will report you.

I hope my experience can help you guys deal with toxic players and have fun in overwatch 😃

Question Low 1% fps (half average fps)

0 Upvotes

I frequently have 1% lows fps of 150-200 when my current fps is 400 or so. This seems to only have started happening recently. Is there any setting in game that could be causing this?
