Pet Peeve: The Undying

Excuuuuuuuuse you!?

He’s our IKEA DWARF.

Unironically I prefer Paladins to Overwatch anyway. Largely the fact that you can heavily alter the playstyle of a hero. Whereas in OW there is one way and only one way to play every hero.

I enjoy the fact that in Paladins, tanks and supports can actually go full DPS in a way while still being able to do some amount of tanking or healing, which is usually the best thing to do in solo Q since your team won’t be co-ordinated enough to make the most of a dedicated tank or healer. I actually love playing healers in Paladins, when normally I hate healing, specifically because a full damage build on some of them makes them very scary targets to try and pick off as a flanker or similar.

Whereas in OW, healers are generally unable to protect themselves unless you’re Ana with godlike aim or you’re playing Baguette. Probably the main reason I like playing her if I’m forced to play OW with people.

Git. It’s Brigitte and I will not allow you to insult her by calling her French.

The comic is wrong. ;_;

I don’t even play Overwatch.

I know most the memes though.

There’s only one IKEA Gnome, and that’s Vixi.

tbf Torb holding right click while boosted and ulting is scary stuff

I’ll take your word for it.

Thats how i won last season with a streak 10 and a winrate of 100%

I wish I was good at landing shots with Zenyatta.

I also wish you could actually learn how to do that in QP. Yes, please keep screaming for healing as I get teleported back to spawn by enemy Tracer, Genji and McCree who’re running around our backline. And keep ignoring Widow and Hanzo. I’ll just be on Moira and laugh at them, I guess. No aim required.

Keep entire team alive via heals for the last ten minutes.

Die.

Team starts dropping like flies.

The Reinhardt that didn’t shield you once: “Heal?”

Same stuff in Heroes of the Storm. Playing Tyrande who has only one heal on a fairly short CD but it does very little. And the CD is only short when I’m able to attack (Each autoattack reduces CD by X seconds). People constantly :dog: at me for “not healing” when I’ve been hammering my heal as much as humanly possible to the point where my numbers are higher than the enemy healer’s on the scoreboard.

It’s especially bad on a healer like Auriel, who has to put a crown on an ally who then needs to deal damage to generate energy. No damage, no energy, no heals. Had a Chromie lose their collective :poop: after they died, blaming me for “not healing” when they missed every single spell so I got jack all energy to heal with.

This is why I much prefer healers who can actually do damage and reliably protect themselves. Moira, :baguette_bread:, and basically every healer in Paladins if you take damage cards in your loadout.

I played a bunch of competitive early on but my teams made me pick reinhardt over and over.

Boi am I tired of that.

Then don’t

Meanwhile the enemy team doesn’t have a healer. Doesn’t die either tho. Magical :sparkles:

I only ever play Abathur in HotS. He’s basically the only character I really enjoy. People only shout at me when they feel like I’m not doing anything in team fights. (Because I don’t bother with helping out when they go 2v5 in mid, much rather getting us some exp and playing hide and seek with their stealthy.)

Play what you want! They want Reinhardt? They can go play him!

They usually just instalocked Genji and stuff and then started raging or even throwing if no one tanks (and it’s competitive so tank means reinhardt), so I always ended up with that. :confused:

Ah, the common 2 elims 12 death at 20min Gengu, often spotted solo diving Brigs and trying to reflect Moira’s, Sym’s and Mei’s beams. They’re unlikely to be much better when they aren’t trying to throw and after the first loss they’re just as likely to throw anyway.
The only thing I’ve found that works is a mute for them and hope for better teammates in the future.

This is why I stopped playing Overwatch.

Gamefreak: “We’re limiting the Pokemon that will appear in the new games so we can improve the animations”

Also Gamefreak: “lmao let’s just reuse the sucky animations we’ve been re-using since X and Y”

God damn Battle Revolution on Wii had some GREAT battle animations over ten years ago. Even Pokemon Stadium on the N64 had more unique animations. There’s no excuse even with eleventy-billion Pokemon to work with, especially if they’re cutting down on how many can be ported to the new games for that exact reason but continue to do the crappy animations anyway.
