Few questions about Mercy + Stadium
When Mercy is using her ult, does her flash heal affect everyone she is chained too? Or just primary target?
When Mercy has the power where her staff chains to a secondary target, is the secondary target also affected by flash heal?
When Mercy has the power to refill her targets ammo/give CD/move speed, is that effect given to everyone when she's ulting?
Same as above, but for secondary target

[rustic moth]

If I see anyone playing jet pack cat and junkrat combo and off round one you flying him around with his perk “rainin lead” it’s on site

[shrewd urchin]

Just wait until you meet Jetpack Bob

Literally an Apache chopper

Call of duty chopper gunner kill streak unlocked

[peak cliff]

LF All star+ tank for ranked, 18+ please and have comms

[boreal ruin]

i was hard diffing a gm cat in a mirror then my two inbred keycap fucker dps had to go 0-5 final round

[dusky oasis]

man \

stadium really getting fucking predictable

get mercy phara on my team and i tell myself, ok I know how round 1 will end. im the only one contesting point during overtime for her to res her phara bf

[calm mesa]

lmao

anything for the bunny skin

[sudden bridge]

Phara is pretty medicore same with mercy so if you lose to it then

You yourself must be

By process of elimination

[fleet ravine]

All of them is no but for the power that gives ammo, cd and speed it actually used to for both valk and threads of fate but that was removed with flash heal

[glossy moon]

flash heal does seems to work in her ult but I don't believe thats intentional
Threads of fate does NOT work with flash heal for the secondary target
some other things to note because the game is supposed to recognize flash heal as an ability power but I believe this is really bugged
Mark of kitsune with flash heal on the secondary target for threads of fate does not seem to work
When having biotech Maximizer, the item that is supposed to reduce your cooldown for every unique ally healed, this item doesn't seem to work at all with flash heal. Aka when you get the item and you use valk, heal everyone in it using flash heal, it does not reduce the cooldown at all as I don't think the game is meant to recognize flash heal proccing in valk

Supply surge (speed) is supposed to work with every beam target

[silk wyvern]

Check out this TikTok I posted! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRtAS3LK/

[nocturne sandal]

they shadow nerfed cat's bell bomb's in stadium

[boreal ruin]

they removed it

[nocturne sandal]

I know

[pure summit]

how well does freya bola build hold up in todays world

[meager bronze]

its still pretty good

doesn't one shot the entire game anymore but it's still okay

[sudden bridge]

Good but depends on the level of freya play. God tier freya play is scary but average play is usually out performed by easier hit scan heroes

[pure summit]

And take aim Freya builds?

[meager bronze]

why play that when you can just go machine gun

[pure summit]

Its cringe

But also

[meager bronze]

it is but it's probably her best build right now

[pure summit]

I think im bad with Freya take aim

Or I just dont really understand how to position with that build

[orchid birch]

Who is the best tank in stadium (I’m hoping not to hear JQ cause I don’t like playing her)

I’m very new to stadium

[sudden bridge]

Every tank is decently viable you could run the lobby on doom if you have talent

[orchid birch]

I’m playing on switch mostly, so I’m mostly running rein rn

I’m looking for a tanky Orisa build though

[shrewd urchin]

I watched a Doom sit on push cart on overtime for a solid 2 full res cycles while my team wiped twice

[slate furnace]

tuuuu turip... ip ip

[errant scarab]

what are these items i cant tell anymore

not the powers

like all these, i cant tell what they are anymore after the icon change

[coral latch]

i got back into the game and a bit obsessed with stadium

[bright rampart]

Hi could anyone help me understand the leaderboard and T500 for stadium?

I hit T500 today for the first time then I stopped playing for a few hours and I wasn't on the leaderboard when I came back even though my challenger score is well above the lowest player.

Does anyone know if I'm misunderstanding something or if it's some sort of issue with the game?

[woven crown]

maybe just an update delay. you literally need to play and go positive every day to maintain stadium leaderboard

may the more unemployed win

[bright rampart]

Ok nvm, for some reason it wasn't showing it at all but I am, in fact, on the leaderboard lmao

Thank you anyway.

[calm mesa]

does anyone use third person

[glacial elm]

top500 in any mode needs a minimum of 750 comp wins now

lifetime comp wins*

to avoid smurfs filling it up

[tiny fractal]

depends on what hero im playin on, but 3rd person is mostly better anyways

[boreal ruin]

is it a wild take to say ap genji best genji

[tiny fractal]

if its a melee ap youre right if its a dash build hell no

[boreal ruin]

both, there's 4 power slots

[tiny fractal]

i solo grineded to legend with the melee ap build

its just insane if you are a decent at genji

[jaunty nest]

Hybrid is the best

I go wyrm usually r6 but ap power is only good late game just hy virtue of how good hybrid items are on him

[tiny fractal]

well i didnt even try any builds aside from my melee one cuz it was just enough by itself

the dmg is good the survival is good its just perfect in any aspect

[jaunty nest]

Its inconsistent imo

Dragonblade is very good in stadium and realistically late game u just need to be a blade bot

And hybrid is the best way to scale blade

[tiny fractal]

i dont mean just the blade when i say melee tho

[tiny fractal]

depends on how well u did 1st n 2nd round

and u farm crazy ult charge from the catalytic crystal thingy

[jaunty nest]

Hidden blade is for sure one of his best powers i usually take it r2 but scaling melee after that just isnt necessary imo

[jaunty nest]

Yeah but u only get ult charge from ability dmg

So if ur scaling melee why buy that?

[boreal ruin]

hanamura healing is extremely underrated

never see any genjis (when i do see them) pick it

[jaunty nest]

Its pretty good general consensus from most genjis is that its good

What build do you normally run? @boreal ruin

[tiny fractal]

mark of the kitsune thats how

u gonna dash in quick 180 melee thats like 4 5 ult charge and when u deflect i think it gets the effect of mark of the kitsune too so its easy to farm ult even if ur on melee build

[tiny fractal]

yeah i didnt had that in my build till like a few months ago it takes me up to 700hp its so busted

[jaunty nest]

Ah yeah motk i assume u go iadio strike then aswell?

[tiny fractal]

yeah its basically needed tbh

n hasimotos bane but maybe ill swap that with deflect heal power sometime

[jaunty nest]

Ill go iadio r6 sometimes cuz i feel it scales poorly early game and its rly hard to pull off vs good players or many of the heros in stadium

[tiny fractal]

depends on the enemys comp

if they have too much survival maybe it aint that good but it still works out

[late reef]

are we EVER going to get a hotkey to swap between 1st and 3rd person

[glacial elm]

No

[ivory yoke]

U know what?

It's been a while since I last used Hazard after his nerf

Maybe I can adjust to him

[distant bobcat]

you know

i was lowkey cracked as wuyang in stadium comp

[jaunty nest]

Impressive

[twin sail]

I got to Elite with only using Sigma

That was hard

[ivory yoke]

Aaaaand guess who the first tank I ran into was as Haz?

Orisa

Or should I say Orisweat? My team didn't stand a chance and didn't know what they were doin

[storm pier]

Sym should be added to stadium already
She has so much potential

[quaint scarab]

Sigma feels super funny if you go lucio build

[hidden hare]

Hey guys

[edgy pine]

ugh ive lost 3 games today and almost went back to all star five

what is in the air tonight

[hidden hare]

Se'i koe ikiiki

[rocky pecan]

Yo mauga why does every character in the game hate u in their interactions

[hidden hare]

Iono ):

[minor seal]

Why do they disband the lobby if there's not enough players instead of just letting me wait for them

[storm oar]

real

and i always see those dirty torbjörn builds where they just swing their hammer once and kill half your team

[minor seal]

Can't be as miserable as Hazard😭 Whoever designed him did not make it past primary school

[frail badger]

Reins fun as hell to play in stadium but god why is he actually hard countered by like half the other tanks

[storm oar]

yeah, u take one look away as a tank and see that all of ur teamates behind u are gone

[orchid birch]

I hit a pin on rein, or turn my head for a fire strike, turn back and the only one left is a Moira fighting for her life

[calm mesa]

emre when

[unique sandal]

i love how every stadium match has a soldier moira

its irony, just in case

im tired of going into the same orisa soldier ashe moira every game

[noble wigeon]

anyone else feel torb is extremely strong and weak when it comes to turret build?

On one hand, certain picks can easily counter turret even when max range at 40 meteres (50ish with purple item0) but if none of those counters are there, max ap is 100ish dps, even more if you get the damage to airborn for pharah/mercy/cat/freja.

but at the same time you take something like turriplets, you need 3 items just make it viable and it costs 2 powers minimum, being the throw speed/turret range. liquid nitro, and cyber venom, powers being turriplets and 200 overhealth on spawn, but even then the dps is like 50ish a second wih the ap from those powers, assuming you go weapon power after, because full ap turriplets is just awful

[acoustic kiln]

build his lava powers with AP

youll still have a strong turret but youll also have a 2nd source of dmg

[noble wigeon]

tbh i never build for lava

i always cneter turret

i do grab the power every now and then

[fallow socket]

stacking ap on triplets isnt the worst since it can increase initial overhealth and itll buff lava as wispy mentioned

[noble wigeon]

Yeh but then after that initial overhealth is gone, its just 350 health at 110 ap.

[fallow socket]

of course, overhealth is just a one and done thing

but triplets abuses it because you are throwing them out constantly, at their face or behind them too

you werent really banking on the baby turret staying around for long anyways

[fossil raft]

hi sorry what’s a good juno build?

right now I mainly focus dps juno (healing mostly in 1st to 2nd round)

[fallow socket]

blink boosts

[fallow socket]

2X8BX here is a build i created very quickly, let me know if you have any questions

*also forgot to include commanders clip item

if you never want to reload and adds to ur dps

[fossil raft]

thank you so much!

wait how do i see the build is there a place i out that in

put

[fallow socket]

also a few quick gameplay notes, you can double up on mark of the kitsune by using an ability, shooting, and then blinking again in the middle of the shooting animation and it will burst 50 damage to the target

[fallow socket]

armory, insert codes

[fossil raft]

i don’t see it anywhere

OH

got it

[fossil raft]

thank you so much! I’ll try it out

what do i take each round and replace?

[fallow socket]

just uhh go in order from left to right

[fossil raft]

okay thank you

[fallow socket]

sell all the greens to afford your purples asap and if you cant afford the next purple sub in greens and blues

[fossil raft]

got it!

[dusky oasis]

gotta love stadium

have to kill the whole team by yourself every fucking game

[woven crown]

id share screenshots but not allowed. But stadium matchmaker has hit its nut bottom. giving me bronze players to carry and its impossible.

[dusky oasis]

fr i literalally need to carry these rat ass teamates every game

[woven crown]

29-1-8 on tank 25k damage, my dps is 4-11 with 2k dmg

[dusky oasis]

just to win the fight i need to kill the whole other team

[woven crown]

actual lower than bronze

if I wasnt 5-0 in 6v6 today almost gm4 again id be livid

[dusky oasis]

got a top 32 shitstain boosted moira

would be nice if the devs got off their throne of soy and fixed the matchmaking

[noble wigeon]

10/10 windows decides to update during a match

[untold depot]

Can someone paypal me 3 dollars for food please seriously life sucks im sorry 🫩

[woven flame]

hell no

[storm oar]

how have u guys been enjoing the cat

[high turret]

Hey guys I am about to leave crypto so I wanna gift out some sol to the first five people that dm me first

[calm mesa]

tragic

[keen musk]

Y’all hate it when your tm8s don’t do the OBJ

[calm mesa]

I hate it when my teammate exist

[broken comet]

Nahh

[random robin]

I can take on mauga doom hazard hog bap lucio all at the same time

[jaunty nest]

What the hell are u alluding to here mate

[boreal ruin]

hardstuck gold when confronted for abusing juno's infinite blink boost bug IN COMP (we had no hitscans and her duo defended her with "you have a jpc")

yeah no wonder you're there LMAO

[shrewd urchin]

Hey man some of those tanks do ridiculous damage lmao

[woven crown]

well I was the tank pulling 25k over 3 rounds while that dps (both were awful) was pulling 750 per round like

could not be more anchored by the matchmaker even if it was paid to be

[errant scarab]

does anyone have a place to view the old stadium icons and what they are

[woven crown]

181 damage per death is not enough to kill any hero in the game

again I ca nt post screenshots but that is an easy google my dawg

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/1r2zbyd/new_stadium_icons_are_terrible/

[timber hearth]

I just realized, the two times I run the dynamite build on ashe my teammates are unable to deal with an enemy flyer and both times the person that tells me to deal with it because "your a sniper" they were on Moira

Is this just something with Moira players or did I just meet two specific weirdos?

[woven crown]

if theres an enemy flier or two cleanses and I happen to be on ashe I cant go burn build

[timber hearth]

In those cases I do a bob build cuz it's the only time I can make the ult charge on cleanse work

[woven crown]

Its binary for me, hitscan or burn

[boreal ruin]

I just play infinite reload/heal primary burn spam ashe

unscoped

[shrewd urchin]

Oh yeah 700 a round is crazy. But I'll be at like 6k damage while the tank is at 7k and I'm just like

https://tenor.com/view/table-flip-adventure-time-gif-6102284985928581700

[woven crown]

oh no thats perfectly fine honestly

[shrewd urchin]

Rip broken gif

[woven crown]

some tank build farm damage others dont

[shrewd urchin]

Vendetta is hit or miss to be honest. Make a bad mistake and put yourself in a bad position and die once or twice early first round and end round 1 with 9k cash total is brutal.

11.5k sweet spot

12k+ vendetta pops off round 2 and keeps snowballing

[exotic pilot]

how is your arranged fight going

did they take you up on the offer

[orchid birch]

Who are arguably the top 3 tanks in stadium (don’t even mention JQ, I can’t play her at all 😭)

[exotic pilot]

doom rein jq

[orchid birch]

Right now I go for AP rein with 105 AP by the end, with Vroom Boom Boom, the shielding charge one, the one that gives an explosion on fire strike and then the one with 25 ult and gives fire strikes on m1

[orchid birch]

Doom?

[exotic pilot]

yeah doom got hard buffed

[orchid birch]

Interesting, how so

[exotic pilot]

his overhealth now scales properly

meaning he can invest into far more ap without dying

[orchid birch]

Also I’m rather new to stadium, that’s build is my own creation

[orchid birch]

Sounds wonderfully terrifying

[exotic pilot]

they also buffed uppercut and the overcharge punch

[orchid birch]

So doom will be an AP menace now

[exotic pilot]

you should always take shield heal first even after the nerf its still very good

[shrewd urchin]

I had a doomfist sit on push payload during overtime for two full res cycles because my team wiped twice.

We ended up coming back and winning

[exotic pilot]

and rn the best way to play reinhardt is to play flyhardt

[orchid birch]

Yeah it seems to be really good

[exotic pilot]

unless its like a coordinated setting where you can go full survival slop

[orchid birch]

I don’t wanna T_T

[orchid birch]

I’ve gone a rein support build before

[shrewd urchin]

I've never seen a successful flyhardt. Seems like a throw build lol

[exotic pilot]

its by far the strongest rein build

are you eu or na

[orchid birch]

I am NA

[shrewd urchin]

Na

[orchid birch]

His roles say NA

[exotic pilot]

that explains that

yeah for some reason rein players na are much much weaker

[orchid birch]

I’ll change that

[exotic pilot]

and also dont really fly idfk why

[orchid birch]

How does it work

[exotic pilot]

how does what work

[orchid birch]

Flyhardt

[exotic pilot]

uh you hold jump to go up and hold crouch to go down

it also lets you drift round corners

[orchid birch]

Makes sense

How long does charge go for, is it normal length?

[exotic pilot]

and has some weird techs where you can stall on certain curves in the map as well as slow your pin on sky box

you can also snap people through ledges with it and if you mash jump and crouch it increases the pin hitbox size

and can also be used to get guaranteed pin catches

[exotic pilot]

you go further if you keep on going up and down

[orchid birch]

Sounds like torture, but I have my jump and crouch buttons next to each other on console

[exotic pilot]

if you are on console you might need to rebind that

[orchid birch]

I can’t make very good use of there the crouch originally was

*where

[exotic pilot]

do you have any extra paddles on your controller or nah

[orchid birch]

What items do you go for with Flyhardt?

[orchid birch]

No, I’m cooked anyways, I play on switch 😭

My pc is unavailable atm

[exotic pilot]

i mean obviously the flying item but then after that you need the cdr on swing in wp that ones very good and then just scale ap

i quite like to take chimera with it as well

[exotic pilot]

what fps do you get on switch

[orchid birch]

Which is chimera is that the one that buffs fire strike?

[exotic pilot]

yeah

[orchid birch]

Haven’t checked

[orchid birch]

I like that one

[exotic pilot]

because low fps or high latency makes it very hard to use

[orchid birch]

Yeah cause you have to be careful I’d assume

[exotic pilot]

i mean its more its hard to pin anyway with latency and when flying on latency you are going to miss way more

[orchid birch]

Can you go further in depth on what scaling items I need I was a bit confused on it prior, I get AP scaling

[orchid birch]

Yeah

[exotic pilot]

for powers i go shield heal and then firestrike shatter next

after that you go impact burst or vroom depending

and then for the items

i like to go ap wp and the jump boots r1

r2 i like to rush flyhardt and grab the item early

if i have extra cash just buy ap as efficiently as possible

[orchid birch]

Do you have a saved build?

Or no

[exotic pilot]

nah

[orchid birch]

I can probably find one somewhere

[exotic pilot]

ill have a look to see if there are any good ones

but most take shield pin which sucks

[orchid birch]

Really, I’ve heard it’s a good power?

[exotic pilot]

the advantages are its decent for cash farm as you get a lot of dmg from the boop and its decent into cc

[orchid birch]

I guess not on Flyhardt

[exotic pilot]

the disadvantages are for the most part your shield health is better than your actual health

the boop makes it annoying to pin catch unless its during start up

and it removes half of the pin techs as it boops them

[orchid birch]

I had a support rein build with 1300 hp and 4.1k shield health it was fun

I developed it myself

[orchid birch]

Makes sense

[exotic pilot]

yeah thats a very strong build but its not that great solo queue

its very good with loads of coordination tho

[orchid birch]

Which I do mostly solo queue 😭

[orchid birch]

I had cas, soj, Kiri, and Ana, I made sure they KNEW I was support

I’d always work around them basically cutting off the enemies

I assume that’s how it’s played

[exotic pilot]

yeah pretty much

ana has this one power

dreamy

[orchid birch]

It was against ram which sucked for me

[exotic pilot]

which heals the target for 80% of their max life

[orchid birch]

Yo

That sounds wonderful

[exotic pilot]

which means it would heal you for 1040 health

[orchid birch]

So I need an Ana in a team with me is what I’m hearing

[exotic pilot]

yeah i think thats the best synergy

[orchid birch]

Like I need a friend who plays Ana

[exotic pilot]

yeah

[orchid birch]

I imagine Lucio could work well with it too, or am I wrong

[exotic pilot]

mixtape is always good but i dont think they synergise that well when survival building

i guess it makes it easier to move about while shielding

i think ana and brig are the two best pairings

[orchid birch]

Also what is your ideal power set up, mine had the shield heal, the gains shield with fire strike, damage amplify shield, and then 250% shield, in the order

[orchid birch]

Probably

[exotic pilot]

btw the second power that you get also works with swings

[orchid birch]

And then items were, move faster in shield, bigger shield, yata yata

[exotic pilot]

but you should go shield heal into 250% shield most of the time

and then probably the shield regen one that you are on about

[orchid birch]

I know, it’s just I was trying not to engage with the enemy tank in that game because it was ram and I didn’t want my backline hit through shield

[orchid birch]

Yeah amplify seems the worst of them

[exotic pilot]

i can see why you would take dmg amp but i like kill potential so the firestrike shatter is probably better imo or vanguard which is the movespeed and overhealth on pin

[orchid birch]

Ooh, vanguard would be good if my allies are always with me too

[exotic pilot]

rein has a very nice matchup into ram if your team are playing properly

[orchid birch]

They weren’t 😭

I got potg with basic m1s if that says anything towards the end too

I played one game against ram where I kept taking him off the map, over and over, just dropping him, it was so funny

[exotic pilot]

thats peak

is console stadium fun like what is the most played stuff on console

[orchid birch]

I see a good bit of torb, Juno, Ashe, soldier, and then ram and Orisa

A few reins would be next most common

[exotic pilot]

i mean i did assume hitscans would be very very common

[orchid birch]

Yeah

I play reaper for dps but I hardly play dps

I want BAP in stadium

I love bap

[exotic pilot]

i think he would be intresting

[orchid birch]

I wanna see what they do with lamp and ult

And his booster jump

And burst

Literally everything

Imagine a power that makes the lamp hover over someone

And then if it was a rein, with big shield item, they couldn’t shoot it

[exotic pilot]

tbf if they cant shoot the lamp they are going to struggle to shoot you in that situation

but yeah that would be cool

[orchid birch]

Idk why I like bap so much, I just do

[orchid birch]

True, counter intuitive

Unless it also healed or gave a small amount of overhealth

Something like that

[exotic pilot]

i can try to find you some examples of surv rein gameplay if you want to watch stuff to see how to play it optimally

[exotic pilot]

maybe it could proc his other ability

[orchid birch]

That’d be great, I find all rein play styles fun but I also really like to play efficiently

[orchid birch]

Ooh, yeah

I wonder how they’d implement his little shoulder bot, if they even would, probably not

[exotic pilot]

ill dm you it

[orchid birch]

The jump would be fun to get powers for though

[orchid birch]

Ty ty

[exotic pilot]

i wouldnt mind like directional jump boots like some horizontal or diagonal movement with it

[orchid birch]

Yeah, like a dash in air, almost like tracer dash

But obviously not that fast

Bap is just a fun character

[orchid birch]

Full charged jump grants like overhealth or something like that

Obviously at a cap
