stadium-discussion

[ember kettle]

THAT DOESNT FUCKING WORK

Im legit just leaving the game if I see a dva

Im tired of my team playing dva

She doesnt fucking do shit

AND ITS A DVA

GO FUCKING FIGURE

AND IM ALREADY CHAT BLOCKED SO I CANT FLAME HER

GET THE FUCK OFF THAT GARBAGE ASS USELESS ASS FUCKING CHARACTER

ITS AN AUTO FUCKING LOSE

OH BOY ITS A DVA INTO A ZARYA.

SO WE JUST DONT HAVE A FUCKING 5TH TEAM MATE NOR A TNAK

[warm flint]

now zarya is the single most overpowered tank in this mode

[ember kettle]

She is not

[warm flint]

pray that the player's shit

[ember kettle]

Reinhardt will always be better than her

[warm flint]

you haven't seen anything if you're saying this

[ember kettle]

I have seen everything zarya can do. And rein still wins.
Esp since reins a hard zarya counter

[warm flint]

that is true in base game. not this mode. i have seen what she can do to a rein

if she plays it right the rein cannot even damage her

in a theoretical 1v1 scenario

[civic oxide]

untrue?

[ember kettle]

Its very true

[civic oxide]

DVA is one of the best char rn bro

Best endgame builds by far

[ember kettle]

Doesnt matter if you are good at the game and dont make it to end game

Because you played an actual good tank

[civic oxide]

Lmao they cant 3-0 you unless you let them

[ember kettle]

And even then. Baby D.va doesnt have anything on the other tanks.

[civic oxide]

nano baby dva ☠️

[warm flint]

i wouldn't say d.va is the best tank in stadium, most definitely not even comparable to the disgustingly broken shit that zarya is but she is far from useless

[civic oxide]

i get my mech back 90% of the time

[civic oxide]

ive reverse swept zaryas in pro rank

as dva

3 times

literally just build diff

[warm flint]

that is impressive, although were they even building correctly?

[civic oxide]

at some point i become unkillable

[civic oxide]

they were

beam reduction got a buff also the way u play dva isnt like rein or anything

use defense matrix to isolate someone

preferably someone wjo has already taken damage and a squishy

get a dps to come with you

destroy them

they cant get healed

the rockets do 350% extra dmg

any dps on ur team is enough to finish them

[warm flint]

oh yeah there's a perk where you can fire while matrix is on, too

[civic oxide]

they cant fight back

[civic oxide]

i dont take that, costs too much

but yeah

if it was like they were too tanky, i would take that

[warm flint]

well i guess that's the only option if you get fucking golds because matchmaking is very good

[civic oxide]

10k to do pitter damage while matrixing

lmfao

i might as well buff up my rockets to one shot

[civic oxide]

ya the matchmaking is crazy

its even worse that stadium points arent relative

i can queue with my rookie friend and get the same SR as normal

lmao

[ember kettle]

Question.
Junos Stinger Perk is ability damage.
Does that technically benefit from ability lifesteal

[civic oxide]

good question, no

[warm flint]

well yes, i was thinking what if i derank in comp to bronze 5 so i get easy sweeps in stadium and get to all star for free

[ember kettle]

Stupid That needs changed

[civic oxide]

because the stinger perk isnt an ability

[civic oxide]

id be happy for that change

can make dva more broken!

[warm flint]

it's immoral as fuck but i guess blizzard is openly incentivizing it

drop to bronze 5, get free legend

[civic oxide]

oh thats not how it works, u get matched with people in your stadium rank, always

But it just so happens that contenders players are low elo

who wouldve thunk it

[warm flint]

they have stated in a blog post that stadium does not have mmr and that it matches people based on not stadium rank but their mmr from different modes, I'm guessing QP

that is why 2 legends can queue with 3 rookies

it's supposed to be "cosmetic rank"

[civic oxide]

☠️

[ember kettle]

Annnd zarya is online. time to start losing.

[warm flint]

but the fact that i am getting matched with anything from gold to gm i'm guessing it is QP mmr

[civic oxide]

if its qp mmr then js lose in QP

no need to fuck ur rank

[warm flint]

true. OMG i need to queue with my friend who only plays QP and does so for fun so he like loses most his games

bro.. such easy fucking legend

[ember kettle]

Wtf is our d.vas build.....

Why is she building ap and wp

Fucking commit to one

We just dont have a tank

shes melted in 2 seconds

Yep lets just spam shield the mcree and 76 so they just W key at us with auto aim 1 shots

I got my Juno skin finally. Just level 1 but its something

Just had my whole team leave so im 1v5.
Can we start banning leavers.
Theres legit a leaver in every match if not multiple.

[warm flint]

I'm going to test the QP mmr theory tomorrow/this weekend.
if it works, this may as well open up the gates of hell

[raw acorn]

petition to bring widow to stadium

and symm

[warm flint]

i'm gonna make my QP W/L ratio so bad that if i for any reason ever need to repair it i may as well be cooked

and then based on this theory it would be free legend

[ember kettle]

THey really thought I was gonna leave the game just because my team mates did

Ima make y'all sit this out

I do not leave games

[warm flint]

i mean you wasted your own time too

[ember kettle]

I dont care. I have plenty to waste.

If I wasnt on this I would be doing mythic+ dungeons on WoW atm

THeres no difference.

I dont leave

[oak aspen]

"Nerf Juno and Soldier" ok bro

[ember kettle]

ANyone that says to nerf juno with how easy her torpedos are to block and avoid, are stupid

[oak aspen]

Fr like it cannot be that hard to find cover

[split remnant]

This channel being active..

[oak aspen]

I just demoted omg I hate this mode

[split remnant]

IMPOSSIBLE!

[oak aspen]

Ik its shocking

[split remnant]

What rank

[oak aspen]

Pro 4 now

[split remnant]

Nah..

[oak aspen]

I been hardstuck pro 3 for like 5 days

[ember kettle]

Its a channel you can see happening. Just get behind cover.
Even if its locked on and already firing... get behind cover. It doesnt curve. It will just hit the wall .

Like its genuiney so easy to avoid.

[oak aspen]

Even when It does hit its not like it one shots

But it does a decent amount of damage still

[ember kettle]

And thats not including if they have a reinhardt or a dva that just eats the entire torpedo ability with their massive shields or matrix.

Or a zarya who just spam shields

[oak aspen]

Thats true

I just want this ass juno skin and never play ow again

[ember kettle]

Juno is meta.
Juno is good.
Dont get me wrong.
But shes not a fucking problem like Mercy is

or 76 is

[oak aspen]

My W/L is just barely over 50%

[split remnant]

Reaper best hero

[ember kettle]

Theres a few characters that are genuine problems. And Juno is not one.

[split remnant]

You cannot convince me otherwise 🗿

[ember kettle]

Regardless of how good her torpedos are, it does not compare to the actual threats

[warm flint]

oh absolutely currently with the non-existent matchmaking you're very right

cause you counter reaper with awareness.. the people this mode matches me with are on the level of bronze 7. they see reaper, then reaper leaves the screen, "reaper doesn't exist anymore, let me turn around and do something else"

it is incredible how many times i watched my team get wiped by one reaper teleporting behind them, getting pinged by me multiple times, shooting them in the back without them turning around.

the funniest thing is at that point they're literally just helping him not be killable by me because they're donating him HP for free

i'm literally gonna start telling my team to stop pocketing the enemy reaper. they're gonna be so confused.

[ember kettle]

I went tank reaper for my MVP title win on him

Just build the shields/armor/dr/ etc.
ontop of wraith form healing him + lifesteal

and just was a 2nd tank.

Oh you got me low through my lifesteal ? Let me just wraith form and heal it back up because by the time you get me that low again, its gnna be off cd

[oak aspen]

Ok I played Juno all the way up to Pro 3 but I think it's time to play Lucio

[chrome yacht]

Ah yes, I am certainly going to click this definitely not suspicious link that definitely won't steal all my information.

[stray osprey]

thank you jizz clarkson! 🙏

[ember kettle]

Oh boy servers being scam botted

MOOOODs

GET THEM

https://tenor.com/view/robot-sweat-overwatch-blink-gif-12810689

I love someone playing DPS lucio when im Juno.

Like bro

YOU ALREADY SEE IM ON JUNO

BUILD HEALER

[oak aspen]

All you need is medical missiles and everyone is unkillable

[ember kettle]

Medical doesnt help you

You only go for medicinal on round 7 if the game goes long enough

and even then id rather just get the hyper ring does healing too

[oak aspen]

I only grab medicinal missiles round 5

[halcyon gulch]

Why is half the characters op in this game

[ember kettle]

Because they arent

[halcyon gulch]

They are though

[ember kettle]

Not really

Theres only 3 that id say are OP, the rest is just a skill problem

[halcyon gulch]

In stadium everyone is op but the characters I play

[ember kettle]

Thats. Definitely a skill issue

Who do you play

[halcyon gulch]

I get 2 tapped by a Cass on 800hp how is that a skill issue explain?

[ember kettle]

Dont stand in the open? Who do you play

[halcyon gulch]

Rein Lucio

I think it’s only soldier Cass and moira they are op asf no matter who u use

[ember kettle]

????

Moira definitely not

Another P.S.A to the monkeys in Stadium.
If you want me to actually have healing numbers on Juno instead of getting tiny dick syndrome over me DPS gapping you as a healer because you dont know how to position.
GROUP UP. STOP OVEREXTENDING. AND STOP GETTING WALLED OFF BY MEI.
I cant heal you if you are fucking overextending and behind walls.

[modest hull]

theyre gold to masters lobbies

why are u surprised

[ember kettle]

Meanwhile this genji doesnt touch grass and is 1v5ing

and we have dva into junker

because my team refuses to ever play a good tank

[verbal lake]

Man, Cloudy’s Rein build is actually cracked

Just clutched a match where we got stomped 1-3 and managed to win three times in a row 4-3

[ember kettle]

Every genji thats on my team is the dead weeeeight when the enemy some how 1v5s with 0 counter

[livid marsh]

wait why did i gain like 60% progress for leaving

is that techg

[warm flint]

what is it with people with stock profile picture being always fucking ass

every single match i get at least one of them on my team

[ember kettle]

This example build for juno is genuinely ass. I need to figure out what the fuck to build and they need to give us a custom build saver

[runic ginkgo]

<@&397922982632226816> hey guys cmon you need to remove the links.

thank you

[outer crypt]

so sorry

[warm flint]

build full ability power.

it's that simple

[runic ginkgo]

did we ever get any patch notes about the Mercy rezx thing?

[livid marsh]

its okay i accept ur apology

[warm flint]

but i need to figure out what the fuck to do cause this is shit. solo queuing juno has got me to pro but from here it seems that if I get countered, it's just over

[errant vale]

Custom build saver would be huge

[ember kettle]

https://www.owbuildplanner.com/?v=3&b=eJxTMjSyNjQx1zM0MQFiUyA2s06NR8DEIjO9xCIjUxChl5hqCcQmBkDCUAkAvLIP+A== This maybe

biotech maximizer + Cosmic would give me 2 sources of cd reducing

And I get 105 ability power

3 blues / 3 purples is standard for price

[neon galleon]

Juno gets a lot of success if you focus on her torpedoes

[ember kettle]

yeah but the purples it recommends in the build are absolute dogwater

[warm flint]

well yeah. situationally

[ember kettle]

Exploding torpedos the only good one

the other 2 purples in the build are fucking ass

[chrome trench]

when are they nerfing juno

[ember kettle]

and give like attack speed and bonus pistol damage

In an ability power build

Which makes 0 sense

[warm flint]

juno would be one of the last heros i'd nerf in stadium

countering her is as simple as "use cover"

[chrome trench]

ok but shes still pumping her teammates

[warm flint]

that will only get her so far. one anti heal and it's over

[chrome trench]

but im p sure shes getting nerfed

[warm flint]

i dont think so

[chrome trench]

im PRETTY sure bud!

maybenim just slow

[neon galleon]

Only purple related to weapon I’d get on her is the one that gives her gun some ability damage

[ember kettle]

Thats not a purple. Thats her power stinger

[neon galleon]

It is purple, it’s on the ability section

Mark of the Kitsune

[oak aspen]

Free me

[neon galleon]

It’ll let your gun keep up a bit better while not having to send items it’s way directly

[livid marsh]

wait is it normal to gain progress when you leave?

[ember kettle]

Nah thats horrible

Better to just go more ability power and just 1 shot with torpedo to not need the follow up damage on the shots

[errant vale]

i had to wait 22 minutes for my final game before all star

finished half of a netflix episode

[oak aspen]

You at all star?

Congrats

[errant vale]

whatever the rank to get the juno skin is

[ember kettle]

48

[errant vale]

I think its all star

[oak aspen]

It is

[ember kettle]

That seems abit excessive

but it just came out

and you are at a rank witth maybe 0.5%

of playerbase

[errant vale]

at least it gives me a perfect time to watch more netflix

[ember kettle]

I really love the galactic gun but I might get the gold

just go with the future gilded skin ima get

It just makes too much sense

Gold gnu to go with black and gold skin

[warm flint]

pro match. dude was shit at genji because he "picked him accidentally"... PRO MATCH.

fuck you matchmaking

honestly just fuck you

i genuinely despise this mode

[pale dock]

thats weird i would restart your queue. never been in a stadium queue longer than 3 minutes

[warm flint]

nah elite+ for some stupid fucking reason seems to be 10+ minutes every time

[pale dock]

how when there is no rank based matchmaking??

[warm flint]

10+ minutes for the shittiest most unbalanced matches of your life

[pale dock]

shouldn't queue times be the same across the board?

[warm flint]

i thought so too. and it's supposed to not have its own mmr

[pale dock]

the queue time for a contender should be the same for elite shouldnt it?

yeah thats what i thought

[warm flint]

it seems to go by your quickplay mmr

[pale dock]

nah they said that stadium doesnt use any MMR from other modes, its the only mode thats a blank slate

so stadium MMR wont kick in to effect to notice a difference for a few weeks prob

[warm flint]

they're idiots if they thought it was a good idea

straight up

[pale dock]

It makes sense. If stadium MMR affected your MMR in other modes and vice versa you'd get a GM level dps player from regular mode who might be dogwater in stadium. They're almost totally different games.

[warm flint]

it's trying to force me into a 50% wr no matter what the fuck i do

[oak aspen]

How do you go negitive as soldier 😭🙏

[warm flint]

except they aren't. now i get 2 plats and 2 golds on my team and the enemy gets 2 masters and 3 gms. what do you think is gonna be the outcome?

[oak aspen]

I dropped a whole rank today I am so fried

[pale dock]

whats his build

[oak aspen]

Probably smth really dumb

[pale dock]

well yeah but thats just right now. Stadium does have MMR, its just seperate from quickplay and it's going to take a few weeks to a month for matchmaking to increase in quality as its sorting everyone in to their MMRs

[warm flint]

then why the fuck does my pro game have people who are brand fucking new

at the very least give me pro games

[pale dock]

🤷‍♀️ thats a question for the people who created MMR system

[warm flint]

they're fucking stupid

[oak aspen]

[warm flint]

is what they are

i cannot stand this mode. ever since i got to pro the match quality went down the fucking drain so hard it;s impossible to win games in a row

it's trying so fucking hard to force me into a 50% winrate it is almost impossible to do anything about it

[oak aspen]

Im at 54% atm

[pale dock]

since its the first week i havent even been focusing on ranked ive just been working on getting that damn MVP title from the challenge

[warm flint]

like top of elite, i was gettying matches with ONLY masters. mid to high masters. nothing else, i checked profiles, i did not see anything else. now in pro i see golds, plats, diamonds, masters, occasional gms

[pale dock]

i think im 9/17 heroes finished

[dusky slate]

I dont know if im just bad at the game but soilder 76 seems extremely busted with his auto aim every 7 seconds like its feels impossible to win a 1v1 against him

[warm flint]

full aimbot soldier build with a mercy pocket shoved up his asshole is disgusting and will very likely be nerfed soon

[pale dock]

I usually pick up some survival perks if I'm struggling against a soldier and its a noticeable difference. Getting the survival perk where you take 20% less headshot damage is huge as well as giving yourself the 100 armor convertion perk

[dusky slate]

good idea ill try that next thanks

[pale dock]

ofc

[warm flint]

i win a game i lose a game i win 3 games i lose 3 games i win 2 games i lose 2 games fuck yourself stadium

[ember kettle]

Woah lag

[pale dock]

what hero/build u running

[ember kettle]

Servers just go treally shitty out of no wher

[warm flint]

torp juno

[sudden bridge]

Should be about the same half the people have auto aim

[warm flint]

cannot solo carry on that shit

[sudden bridge]

And there’s like 8 positions to master

[pale dock]

i've been seeing an increase in junos running weapon power mediblaster builds and theyve been destroying torp junos ngl
torp juno is really good but shes shut down easily once the enemy team gets halfway decent positioning, survival perks, and coordination

[ember kettle]

Difference is.
Mediblaster build makes her mediblaster good at torpedos being garbage.
Torpedo build makes both good.
Because your torpedos are your bread and butter, and you have stinger to boost your mediblasters damage with all the ability power

[warm flint]

it's not that, i know how to play torp juno decently well. it's just that some games i actually get a team and others i get fucking dogs who never fucking group up and hide from me more than from the fucking enemy.

like i said, the matchmaking is the biggest issue

i cannot carry a team of golds on torp juno

[sudden bridge]

Well it’s been like 4 days

[warm flint]

not against masters or gms

[sudden bridge]

Let the ranking shake out a bit

[warm flint]

and finding a team on this server in stadium lfg is so fucking ass it's insane

[pale dock]

I would just focus on having fun with the game mode for now instead of ranking up until the system gets fixed. ranks get reset every season anywho

[warm flint]

like give me a fucking team of people who don't forget that reaper exists every single fucking time he leaves their screen and I'll hit all star

[pale dock]

try out new stuff

[meager hedge]

can someone who is high elo in and mains soldier stadium please give the build they use to climb? thank you

[pale dock]

you might even find yourself winning more games because you're having fun again

[warm flint]

there's no fun when the only thing i care about in this shitass mode is to get the juno skin and never play it again

[pale dock]

😭

[warm flint]

they could at the very least make it not-cancer

[sudden bridge]

Think playing this mode for the sole intention of a Juno skin probably ain’t the best idea

[pale dock]

real

[sudden bridge]

If it’s not fun don’t engage with it

[pale dock]

this probably won't look good on your mental health

[warm flint]

well unfortunately dipshitass blizzard had to use fomo so i don't have much of a choice

[pale dock]

one thing is for sure with blizzard

it seems skins are never a one time thing

they've brought back like everything

[oak aspen]

No its a great idea

[warm flint]

idc, won't chance it that in 10 years they bring it back

[pale dock]

but its not even a good skin

[sudden bridge]

Not if you don’t enjoy the mode

[pale dock]

like if it was an awesome legendary i would understand

but why you want this skin 😭

[oak aspen]

Oh I despise the mode

But free skin

[warm flint]

the reason i want that juno skin is because it's a shitty, ugly recolor, probably the single ugliest juno skin that exists and i want it for that reason

[sudden bridge]

Like I’m trying g to grind the Juno skin but I like the mode

[pale dock]

i love the mode

i wouldnt have left marvel rivals without it lol

[warm flint]

well maybe i would have fun if they actually gave this shitass mode real matchmaking. give me fast matches or give me balanced matches. not long fucking queues for the least balanced match of my life where i'm not having fun

[pale dock]

are you this angry in your in-game chat?

[sudden bridge]

If you really want to grind it out though you’ll probably be best suited only mercy pocketing someone

Then trying to tank carry

[warm flint]

no, i never talk or type anything. except when i give a recommendation for what to buy because an enemy is countering my teammate

[pale dock]

ah okay

weird that your queues are so long

[warm flint]

i'm not angry at my teammates. they are not responsible for this attrocity of a matchmaking system

[ember kettle]

ONe thing im adjusting too on Juno is... not being so aggro.

Im trying to stay in the back more and at positions that I can hit my team more

Im too use to dashing in and just frontlining

But enemies are getting better and im getting punished for that playstyle more

[sudden bridge]

Tanking is kinda a trap role for grinding this mode

[ember kettle]

Not really. just go zarya or junker

[pale dock]

wym?

[sudden bridge]

I mean if the round goes on long enough pocketed I still absolutely destroy all tanks

[warm flint]

dude. with mercy i would need a duo if i actually wanted to climb. what do you think pocketing a gold dps is gonna do against masters?

[pale dock]

real. zarya is easy win

[sudden bridge]

Zarya is pretty easy to burst though later rounds

[pale dock]

every time i see a zarya on the enemy team and i dont also have a zarya at the beginning of a match I just kind of internally accept that this one might be a loss.

[sudden bridge]

Bubble down pew pew never in zarya effect range

[warm flint]

a zarya that knows what she's doing is unbeatable

[pale dock]

depends on the zarya.

[pale dock]

this

[warm flint]

i need her nerfed asap

[pale dock]

a zarya with gamesense? terrifying. the scariest tank imo

[sudden bridge]

I only play soldier atm though so I guess kinda no issues

Haven’t really had any tank troubles as long as I’m playing the correct positions at range

Every once in awhile when it’s on the wire and forced into closer ranges it’s an issue

Usually pocketed though so I guess that as well

Heh oddly enough I main tank on the normal mode

[warm flint]

also i was curious whether juno gets less money than others? cause i seem to do a crapton of damage a crapton of healing, and i never seem to be able to get as much money as some of the other people in the match. like the only time i was about to have like the second most cash on my team was when i outdamaged both my dps threefold

[sudden bridge]

Heh my gf said that as well but not sure

Never played her yet

[warm flint]

i have a feeling she gets very much less money than others

[grave pasture]

I mean all heroes have their own earn rates, Cassidy's was tuned down in the last patch

[sudden bridge]

Makes sense

Because reaper seems to always do well if they play well

[grave pasture]

Yeah, Reaper gets points for both damage and his lifesteal

since it's classed as healing

[near delta]

ADD BASTION PLS IM BEGGING BLIZZARD

[sudden bridge]

Okay then tanking would be a mondo trap

[pale dock]

yeah idk how bastion would work out in stadium

they'd prob have to undertune him a bit

[sudden bridge]

Probably as well as sombra

[warm flint]

nah he'd be alright if he didn't have stat boosts necessarily to his dps, but rather different forms of it. sombra is one hero i don't wanna see in stadium. fuck sombra

[pale dock]

unpopular opinion but i dont have a problem with sombra 🤷‍♀️

[sudden bridge]

Mauga is gonna be a beast

[pale dock]

in my forever time of playing overwatch i feel like i can count on one hand the amount of times a sombra has made me feel like ''damn i cant do anything against her''

[warm flint]

it's less that i don't like to play against sombra, it's more that her gameplay design is fucking stupid and i hate it

[pale dock]

ah okay

[sudden bridge]

Can’t imagine flyiers would be any good with soldier

Just be like free kills

[warm flint]

like a character which has abilities to stop others from using abilities is such a horrible character design

[pale dock]

i think they would be. just gotta be smart on positioning and take some survival perks but they'd still be useable

[sudden bridge]

Maybe

[pale dock]

do you play any marvel rivals?

[swift crest]

some1 plz play stadium with me solo q sucks im elite 3 juno main europe pc

[warm flint]

nah, it never really interested me

[livid finch]

Can someone link me to the updates for stadium.. I can’t find it..

[pale dock]

https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/

[livid finch]

Thank you ;-;

[pale dock]

oh wait i havent even seen these patch notes LOL

hold up

[livid finch]

Yeah they nerfed Juno 😭

[pale dock]

when did this even happen

[ember kettle]

Bro im never gonna make it to elite.
These fucking brain dead tanks keep overextending and getting 1 shot

[pale dock]

THEY NERFED COULDER MEI????

HOW COULD THEY

that was so much fun to use

[livid finch]

Um I found out when aspen went live..

[pale dock]

and ive never laughed so hard

wait nvm, its like barely a nerf

[warm flint]

they increased her stadium cash by ALOT

meaning her stadium cash was shit as i said

[livid finch]

Agreed ^

[pale dock]

yeah looks like it

i didnt notice when i played her but i only did 2 games

[livid finch]

I haven’t played any today but when I do play later I’ll try to remember to update you and see if I feel a big difference or not..

[ember kettle]

https://www.owbuildplanner.com/?v=3&b=eJxTMjSyNjQx1zM0MQFiUyA2s04sMjLVS0y1BGITA73EIjMgNgRyjJQA9fwLYA== Changed up 2 of the things

[oak aspen]

THEY HIT THE PENTAGON

[forest lynx]

Coulder is bullshit though

[ember kettle]

The alteration I did was make it more able to farm ults

[pale dock]

its so funny though...

[ember kettle]

To make use of the damage boost and overhealth from ult use

to push on the damage boost

[oak aspen]

Oh they nerfed solar shielding its so over

[forest lynx]

Not for anybody on the recieving end.

They should make it so you can shoot the ice and shrink it

[pale dock]

i can agree w that

def should be killable

[forest lynx]

Like it's less interactive than Widow

[pale dock]

i had one game where i kept pushing an ana soooo far back she was nowhere near her team

[forest lynx]

There is no reason that should be possible

[ember kettle]

Theres legit no counter to reinhardt just walking at you and its insane.

please tell me they are nerfing him into the ground

[forest lynx]

Codebreaker

Literally grab code breaker

Grab the other perk that breaks barriers too

It's been the only reason why armor has been bearable to deal with

[ember kettle]

Doesnt matter when he can do it without shield and 2 shot every squishy in the game just holding m1

[forest lynx]

What the hell are you doing so close to rein anyways?

[ember kettle]

I have no choice? His hammer reaches across the whole point, his ult has the longest ult range in game, and he has a literal charge and 2 charges of a range nuke

He literally just walks at you

because no one in the game can contest him

He needs fucking nerfed

hes way too tanky for the damage he does

[warm flint]

the fact that your team lets him walk into your backline is their own fault

again, shitty matchmaking

[ember kettle]

You say that like they have a choice in the matter too. Hes 2 shotting them to get to me

[warm flint]

because they don't play off angles. like if i play rein and i see a team just holding W down main like bots of course i'm gonna shit on them

[ember kettle]

There is no such thing as OFF ANGLES against GOOD PLAYERS

GOOD PLAYERS DONT DIE TO FLANK

BEcause they know what to look for and pay attention to it

[warm flint]

well let me tell you there's no such thing as a good team in stadium with this matchmaking

[ember kettle]

Debating on changing up the build alittle more. Instead of full tactical nuke

going more for an ult spam build

[warm flint]

flanking is the one way that gets my randomly assigned plat friends deleted over and over because "if its not on their screen they forget it exists"

trust me you can probably flank your way through pro easily

maybe not on juno, unfortunately. but on DPS? 100%

actually, do yourself a favor, the next stadium match you play, check your teammates' and enemies' career profiles. you'll understand.

[ember kettle]

I keep my profile private like any sane person would

[warm flint]

okay. your teammates and enemies might not

check them

[ember kettle]

Why would I

Im not a nosy bitch

[warm flint]

to get my point

[ember kettle]

I only care abot how they perform in this individual game. Not the others before it

[warm flint]

you talk about good players so much, see for yourself what good players this mode puts in a match

[ember kettle]

Debating on not buying stinger

I'll give medicinal round 3 a better try

[pale dock]

off angles aren't really a flank and off angles are very good no matter who you're up against. the purpose of an off angle isn't to get picks, it's to divert the enemy teams attention to more than just down main. if you're able to get picks on an off angle thats awesome, but the main purpose is to draw attention and apply pressure.

[ember kettle]

How troll would a hyper ring spam build be

[pale dock]

do it

is there any perks that let your hyper ring heal or give overhealth?

[ember kettle]

Hyper Healer gives 50 overhealth to allies affected by it

Black Hole slows enemies effected by it

Rally reduces its CDR when allies run through it

[pale dock]

i think that would work low key lmao

[ember kettle]

Just spam hyper rings slowing and speeding up my team at all times

Id have to figure out what to go talent build wise

Because I dont think torpedo build will work with this

because going abiility power doesnt really benefit the hyper ring

Id prob either want weapon power or survivability

[pale dock]

weapon power/attack speed?

with 100 armor survival perk

attack speed builds are so fun 😭

[ember kettle]

Another thing would be which power would I get first

The overhealth or the rally

Prob the overheath round 1, rally round 3.

[pale dock]

hol up bruh i just took a hit of the bowl lemme hop in the practice range rq and see

[ember kettle]

Just to get the healing.

I might be cooking with this idea

[pale dock]

cuz now you got me thinkin too

[ember kettle]

LMAO

[pale dock]

i think u are

[ember kettle]

Esp with torpedos getting hit

[pale dock]

im very glad torpedos got hit im ngl i really wanna see more diverse juno builds 😭

[pale dock]

i think overhealth round 1

yeah

would the Biotech Maximizer perk work with this build

since overhealth would technically make hyper ring heal

[ember kettle]

Im not sure

I know im already using it for torpedos

BRO THERES NO WAY REIN IS FAIR

PLEASE NERF HIM

ITS EVERY GAME

IM GETTING MVP EVERY FUCKING GAME EVERY FUCKING ROUND. WHAT MORE CAN I DO

Man the one good thing if I go a fucking weapon power ring build is I have access to salvaged slugs for fucking reinhardts and zaryas

I need custom build savers

[pale dock]

get codebreaker and el-saka suppressor and the critical hit juno perk

rein is ez work if you have weapon power and those 3 perks

you're too dangerous for him to push

[ember kettle]

Theres a full 100 ability power rein

Just fire striking everyone

in 1 hit

Theres leigt

NOt a single build rein cant do

[pale dock]

divine intervention perk

prevents being one shot

ahhh you said the f word 😦

[warm flint]

yeah but some cretin asked for a rein shield build earlier for some stupid fucking reason in my soloQ match and surprise surprise we lost

[pale dock]

okay i genuinely think rein shield build is bad though yeah lmao

[pale dock]

you said the f word quick edit your message or youll be muted

[warm flint]

what, dont tell me i cant say "fucking" lmao

[pale dock]

i dont think u can

[warm flint]

i said it so many times it's hardcoded in my vocabulary

[pale dock]

<@&397922982632226816>
are we allowed to say bad words

[warm flint]

i think you're gucci unless you make personal attacks or use slurs

[woeful heart]

no

[hearty lodge]

it'd be dope to have Doomfist, Junkrat and Brigitte on stadium

[pale dock]

mystery solved

[woeful heart]

u can

[hearty lodge]

can we say forking instead?

forking shirt man!

[pale dock]

what did home girl up top get muted for then?

[woeful heart]

fuck fuck fuck fuck

[hearty lodge]

like they do in "The Good Place" show

[woeful heart]

idk pal

who?

[pale dock]

Wolfie | Junos Pogchamp

i demand due process

[woeful heart]

spamming auto mute

[woeful heart]

u dont deserve shi

[warm flint]

i am gonna have to rethink how to approach this dumbass mode. this matchmaking is so ass i would probably rather put my head in a meatgrinder than to gamble on whether i get golds or gms on my team

how is it NEVER balanced either? like put one gm on my team and one gm on the enemy team and like 2 plats on the enemy team and 2 plats on my team. i would live with this, i would not complain

New #Overwatch2 Stadium Heroes 👥

Get ready for the first seasonal hero drop in Stadium. Sigma, Junkrat, and Zenyatta are set to join the action in Season 17.

X · May 1, 2025, 10:06 PM

[warm flint]

aight zen is kinda hype

[marble fractal]

demand denied

Oh that was meant to be a reply

[marble fractal]

Demand denied

[ruby cradle]

Sigma and Junk before Winston Tracer is sad

Though Sigma is fun still

[finite dock]

Junk is gonna be fun

[warm flint]

i kinda dont understand how tracer wasn't a stadium hero from launch btw

[ruby cradle]

Apparently they're doing it from how well they can build the heroes or something rather than popularity

I imagine Pharah or Echo will get left out forever

There's surely some cool Tracer builds you can do though

[long orbit]

is there a leaderboard for stadium or not

[solid laurel]

stadium makes me wanna kms tbh

[long orbit]

just play lucio trust

[pale dock]

so excited for sigma!!!!

i dont play him but idk he just makes me feel safe ya know

[wooden crane]

where are the cass nerfs

how is he untouched this patch

[warm flint]

nah that's it juno is just shittier enough to where it doesn't make sense to play her

i wish i knew how to play lucio cause this shit is fucking ass

[acoustic kiln]

soldier got nerfed?

life is good.

[warm flint]

soldier is still broken as shit

don't believe the lies they tell you. he is still broken

disgusting character

[quick leaf]

ngl after i saw the roadmap, im so excited for the future of stadium

[wooden crane]

they nerfed dva lmao

[acoustic kiln]

as long as he gets worse

life is good.

[wooden crane]

she’s going from awful to unplayable

[quick leaf]

he was "nerfed" last patch

[warm flint]

god i hate these devs so much

this mode is somehow even less fun

than it was in the beginning

and let me tell you it was fucking ASS

[wooden crane]

i don’t remember seeing that

[quick leaf]

i suppose you've been on a loss streak?

[quick leaf]

1 sec

"Reduced the amount of Stadium Cash Cassidy gains from dealing damage and healing to 40% (down from 50%)."

[wooden crane]

the mode is still fun there’s just overtuned heroes that are getting old

[odd pier]

petition to add doom to stadium

[warm flint]

only today. pro is unbarable.

[wooden crane]

stadium is a blast

[warm flint]

stadium is a blast of shit

give me matchmaking at the very fucking least

REAL matchmaking

you know, one that actually works

[finite dock]

Stadium is absolute peak

[wooden crane]

lobbies are pretty versatile but for the most part i’ve gotten master+/gm lobbies

relatively balanced

[odd pier]

i reached pro 5 on lucio then i went back to comp lol

[warm flint]

like i dont know what broke today. up until fucking elite 1 i was playing with balanced enough teams of mid to high masters and today it seems that shit just hit the fan and suddenly we're mixing in EVERYONE, from golds to gm, and 0 balance in it either

[hearty lodge]

nailed it on junkrat lol

[odd pier]

YES YES YES

WE NEED DOOM..

[hearty lodge]

this guy gets it! hahaha

[wooden crane]

doom is honestly terrible design for this mode

i hope he doesn’t get added

it wouldn’t be fun

[odd pier]

100% ability power with 700hp.. just tanky dps doom

[wooden crane]

1 shot punch would get very old very fast

[odd pier]

hel naw its gonna be fun asfk

maybe after a while

[hearty lodge]

its a mode for abilities. the ability guy would be the most fun

[wooden crane]

doom is already cancer in normal

[odd pier]

i have 200 hrs on the guy 💔

[hearty lodge]

i have like 500 on Doom Sumo xD

[odd pier]

LMAOO

[wooden crane]

i have 700 hours on ball and i don’t think he’s well designed for stadium either

[odd pier]

thats crazy

[wooden crane]

1 shot heroes aren’t fun

[warm flint]

dude i would take doom 100 times over the broken shit zarya is right now

[wooden crane]

ppl would hate playing against ball and i get it

[odd pier]

ong

[hearty lodge]

build Survival items then

[odd pier]

zaryas bubbles r annoying

[odd pier]

1.5k hp ball 💔

[warm flint]

zarya is not just annoying, zarya's fucking broken

[hearty lodge]

i lowkey dont think ball would work on stadium

[wooden crane]

survival items really don’t do much

[warm flint]

guess what, we better nerf juno tho hahaha because funny torpedos

[wooden crane]

try running survival against cass with damage build

on any hero lol

[odd pier]

ts true

[hearty lodge]

there's so many new knockbacks that arent on normal overwatch that wouuld make ball not work that well

[wooden crane]

he will still 1 shot fan you

[hearty lodge]

do we have the balance patch notes already for juno and soldier nerfs?

[wooden crane]

he scales too well with all stats

i would obliterate lobbies on ball

[warm flint]

oh yeah it's also funny how ass anything but torps are on juno. and then they get nerfed because people are i guess too fucking stupid to use cover

[wooden crane]

sig is a good addition to stadium though

i like that pick

[odd pier]

wb winston

[hearty lodge]

BRO WHY DID THEY NERF DVA

[wooden crane]

i think winston would get fucked

lol

[hearty lodge]

And the only thing that made her playable at that!

[odd pier]

lol

[hearty lodge]

https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/

[warm flint]

let me guess. cause they have no idea what they're doing as per fucking usual

[wooden crane]

imagine winston into stadium reaper

[odd pier]

fkn 3 tapped

as a tank

[wooden crane]

dva nerfs are insane

[warm flint]

"HMMMM people are asking fro broken shit to be nerfed... let's just nerf everything just to be safe"

fucking doesn't change anything

[wooden crane]

she was already the worst stadium pick

[odd pier]

isnt genji one of the worst picks if u cant play him

[wooden crane]

well yeah but that’s a skill issue

dva is bad if you’re good

[hearty lodge]

They nerfed the wrong thing on Zarya

Fission Field is what makes her broken

[odd pier]

whats that again

[hearty lodge]

double bubbles on allies

makes your team invulnerable

pair that with the item that gives you 20% cooldown reduction on bubbles given to allies

and the other item that gives 40% bubble duration

then the power to give overhealth when bubbles expire

you are building Ability Power and Survival items so Volskaya Vortex on 1st round is a great Power that gives you a TON of damage AoE

you end up as a meneace that makes both your DPS invincible, or that can protect your supports for like 20 seconds straight in a fight

[odd pier]

zayum

[warm flint]

yeah. with that being said let's nerf the one viable build juno has just in case guys hahahahaha

fuck them so much

i fucking hate them

[hearty lodge]

Everyone was taking Lifelift (the power that makes your own bubble bigger and gives bubbles extra health equal to 100% of you BONUS hp) on 1st which is a HUGE missplay since it doesnt add HP until you start building bonus hp items

and then nerfed that one

[unreal kelp]

had all purple items in a real match didn’t think it was possible

[hearty lodge]

oh shirt

round 7?

[unreal kelp]

yeah

[odd pier]

thats like 70k

[unreal kelp]

we were down 1-3

and came back and won

[odd pier]

matches like that r so fun

[unreal kelp]

total build cost 74218

by the end

[odd pier]

cos when u start winning you build momemtum and the other team gets nervous

so its funner

for u

[odd pier]

waa

[hearty lodge]

They buffed Mei's damage, nice

[unreal kelp]

i’d send the image but i don’t have perms

[odd pier]

i think mei is balanced

[unreal kelp]

nah i’m ngl that juno build was wayyyy too OP

[hearty lodge]

who cares about the knockback, now instead of harassing tanks you can one boulder kill cassidy on round 2

[unreal kelp]

insanely oppressive to play against

[hearty lodge]

same

[unreal kelp]

250+ damage auto aim missiles

no thanks

[hearty lodge]

her gun balances building Ability Power

[warm flint]

dude. it can be countered by literally anyone who has 2 braincells

[odd pier]

double boop wall slam lucio

2 shots any squishys

[warm flint]

you can kill her even before she locks on because you do not build survivability when you go with high damage torps
or option 2, fucking even simpler, ready? USE COVER.

yeah but NOOO that build had to be nerfed

[hearty lodge]

Oh wait~! They only nerfed Cosmic Coolant on Juno! Thats completely fine!
The one nerf that does affect Juno is PulStar Destroyers losing 15% ability power.
Juno actually got BUFFED with the increased cash!

its completely fine guys!

i wasnt running Cosmic Coolant anyways. i take Stinger on round 3

[unreal kelp]

anybody here got img perms

i would send the build i had

in a real match

but i don’t have them myself

[hearty lodge]

img perms?

[unreal kelp]

image

[hearty lodge]

i figured that much, what do you mean? (you can guess i dont have it)

yeah, no, dont worry @warm flint Juno actually got buffed

[warm flint]

the cash i swear to god must have been a bug. like she was getting no money. but more things got nerfed, now the only purple that gives 20% AP is the one that gives you overhealth when you pop ult. every other purple gives you 15 or less.

[hearty lodge]

you end up buying 2 purples at best anyways

and the third should always be Cybervenom

[warm flint]

i had 6 purples one game today...

[hearty lodge]

1 out of 20 games im sure

[warm flint]

yes, with the bugged cash.

[hearty lodge]

the exception does not beat the norm

i tell you, Juno got buffed

[warm flint]

cosmic coolant nerf was way too big

[hearty lodge]

try this build:
https://stadiumbuilds.io/build/ab9179cb-c3fc-4b5f-ad10-773b004e3876

it doesnt use Cosmic Coolant

Stinger is much better, and even more so now after the nerfs

i'll have to do some math to see if PulStar Destroyers is still good to rush on 2nd round tho

[warm flint]

hyper healer? rally ring? the fuck WHY

[ember kettle]

IM FUCKING GOD DAMN FREE

ALso I was just mentioning a Hyper Ring build earlier

[unreal kelp]

you need to have regular role to post images

[ember kettle]

just a different version

[warm flint]

my build was pulsar plus, coolant, torpedo glide and medicinal missiles
it worked really well unless i got apes on my team

[ember kettle]

The big issue I see with the hyper ring build is having team mates know to walk through it.

[warm flint]

soloqueue teammates are idiots, anything you need them to do you cannot count on

[hearty lodge]

its PulStar Destroyers + Power Playbook (85+20+105x0.1 = 115.5) extra damage on torpedos
vs
Buying raw AP with Nano Cola + Lock-On Shield + Power Playbook + 1000$ leftover for maybe 10% Ability Lifesteal? (85+85x0.4 = 119.0)

Hey look at that! Its now better to buy raw AP on round 2 instead of rushing for PulStar Destroyers!

[hearty lodge]

bro, you complain about being one shotted by Soldier and Juno, THATS WHY

[ember kettle]

I wanna try weapon power hyper ring build. Throwing hyper ring at doors and on the spawn to potentially slow enemies and boost allies.

But theres also I wanna try a build centered around spamming ult

Making use of the "my ult follows me"

Theres alot you can do if you dont just think "torpedo go brr! torpedo only way to go!"

[hearty lodge]

torpedo is still the way to go

[warm flint]

50 overhealth is not gonna change the fact that he still aimbots me with his bitchass mercy pocket

[hearty lodge]

its 50 that scales with ability power

by then it gives you about 120 overhealth

[warm flint]

i haven't had ONE game today where sopldier wouldn't be fully mercypocketed throughout the entire game

[ember kettle]

Does it? I didnt think it did

[vernal bough]

so what exactly does ability power affect

[ember kettle]

I been debating on the ring since day 1

[vernal bough]

like in it boosts abilities but does it boost lifesteal as well or damage thats boosted cuz of abilities?

[ember kettle]

I didnt think the overhealth scaled on anything.
I guess that makes sense why its perk duraton increase is an ability power buy

[hearty lodge]

all ability damage/healing and anything with purple numbers on your Ability/Powers tabs. +Zarya's Bubble hp for some reason

[ember kettle]

Its an ability

so it boosts the hp of it

[hearty lodge]

right, but does mei get increased hp on her pillars with AP?

[hearty lodge]

You made me doubt so i checked again and yeah it is 50 in purple numbers

so its 50 + 50x(whatever ammount of AP% you have atm)

[livid marsh]

i found a bug you can abuse to get progression when you lose

[hearty lodge]

on this build by round 5 you had 105% AP so 50+50x1.05 = 102.5 overhealth

now with the nerfs you'd have 90% AP by round 5 with that build, so 50+50x0.9 = 95 overhealth

[ember kettle]

Bro can we start perma banning leavers

Its legit every game

Its not fucking fun anymore

[hearty lodge]

i swear leavers are the biggest issue with Stadium rn

[ember kettle]

Every single game has leavers in it

[hearty lodge]

LITERALLY

[ember kettle]

For no fucking reason

"OH ITS THE SERVERS" no the fuck it isnt. Why havent i had a single fucking crash from the game then if its the servers

[warm flint]

on day one it ran so bad it restarted my computer mid match

[ember kettle]

its people getting pissy that they die

and they rage quit

and they rejoin to soon

expecting their team mates to have left and the game to be over with already

If they even rejoin at all

[oak aspen]

New all-star rewards.

First I get hit with nerfs to both my heros and now I have to grind all-star again

[warm flint]

i won't give 2 fucks about grinding all star again. i just want the skin for juno they can piss off with other skins

this is why i have to torture myself at this time

[oak aspen]

Unfortunately if it's a hero have more than 1 hour of playtime on I will most likely try to get it

And if its Lucio I will deffintly get it

[warm flint]

like right now it's proving nearly impossible to climb from pro for me on juno especially. i literally cannot take matches into my own hands

[ember kettle]

Love losing 50 points because of leavers that I have 0 fucking control off

[oak aspen]

OW really has to handle leavers more harshly in all ranked modes

At least make us lose less points

I can't wait to play Juno tmr and experince the lobotomy they gave her

[warm flint]

she needed every bit of AP and cooldown reduction there was but i guess it's too difficult to use fucking cover

[proper folio]

Does toggle shoulder not work for Stadium? Trying to set a key for it but none work?

[hearty lodge]

The changes are already out rn

[warm flint]

on the other hand they finally fixed her cash being non existent

[oak aspen]

Yeah but I aint getting on today after lossing a whole rank

[oak aspen]

That is a problem I did notice a lot

[unreal kelp]

not sure if anyone knows this but for some reason genji blade scales on weapon AND ability power

when it's only listed to scale on weapon

[warm flint]

they should've left fucking cosmic coolant out of this.

[oak aspen]

Cosmic coolant my beloved what did they do to you

[warm flint]

they fucking killed it

[oak aspen]

I saw they halfed it

[unreal kelp]

so blade scales multiplicatively on weapon, ability AND melee damage increases

[oak aspen]

They saw me have a second of fun in their game and striped it

[oak aspen]

That sounds horrifying

[warm flint]

yes. so if you hit every single person you have in the match with you right now you reduce only 4.5 seconds

[oak aspen]

Disgusting

[unreal kelp]

people are sleeping on iado strike builds

[oak aspen]

I wonder if torpedo juno is still the way to go then

Ill need to find some new builds

[unreal kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826348031531679766/1367631172250898432/image.png?ex=68154948&is=6813f7c8&hm=17e60cfd9f28f970599d2c853055e323e694443fd4c8108dedadff6eba3be6a3&

[warm flint]

of course it is. because every other build she has is fucking garbage

[unreal kelp]

this was busted af

[oak aspen]

I have heard of ring doing something but I don't think thats the best idea

[oak aspen]

I would cry if I saw that on the enemy team

[unreal kelp]

weapon power seems good no

extra damage and healing

[oak aspen]

Yeah but I can't aim

[warm flint]

no. because juno's damage is shit

[oak aspen]

Good for heals

[warm flint]

if you increase the no damage she has with % it is still % of no damage

[unreal kelp]

lol

[oak aspen]

Im overjoyed they are adding qp

[oak aspen]

So Ig torpedo spam is still the meta even if it got curb stomped by the devs

[warm flint]

yeah. you can heal the other players and rely on them even more

[unreal kelp]

I'm glad they're adding it so my games can stop being trolled by people picking heroes they don't play for winning a challenge

[oak aspen]

That MVP title is worthless bro

I aint getting that thing

[unreal kelp]

true

all I'd bother getting would be the golden lootbox

[oak aspen]

Thats true I still gotta get that

[unreal kelp]

I need to win 3 games on tank and 3 on supp

[oak aspen]

I have not played as a tank or dps in stadium yet

[unreal kelp]

I've exclusively played dps lol

[oak aspen]

Thats me with support

[unreal kelp]

and only genji with like one game on reaper because someone stole him

having way too much fun playing genji because he's actually amazing in stadium

[oak aspen]

Its crazy both times I couldnt play Juno and I insted play Lucio are the two games I get POTG

I did get a decent amount with Juno durring my climb to pro though

[unreal kelp]

been playing with friends today anyway and one was on tank on one support

so made sense to be on dps

jq genji juno was so damn good

[unreal kelp]

lucio so good also

[oak aspen]

Lucio can do insane healing or dps

Well I mean nerfs actually I forgot

[unreal kelp]

that perk that gives mini beat every time you amp is crazy

did he get changes in the patch i forgot

[oak aspen]

Actually not even mad about this

[unreal kelp]

that signature shift buff damn

[oak aspen]

Huge projectiles

Maybe I will start maining lucio in stadium

But for now I stick with juno

[unreal kelp]

so glad genji got 0 patch changes, they did fix the iado strike bug it was undocumented

but it was kinda whatever

[oak aspen]

I need them to fix the mercy rule

And also with how the rank percentage is displayed

Saying im at 81% while im in demotion protection

[unreal kelp]

wdym

[oak aspen]

If you win the first 3 matchs and have 15k total more points than the enemy you win

Thats how it should work but its broken

[unreal kelp]

oh that

sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't

so weird

[oak aspen]

Yeah it's really odd

This weekend im gonna play a bunch of stadium and if i dont get at least pro 2 ima be so finished

[unreal kelp]

I'm elite 1 rn

but been queuing on alt to play with friends

so the queue times and matchmaking isn't fucked

cos they all started playing it after me

[oak aspen]

I just been soloq this whole time

[unreal kelp]

contender 1 i think on my alt and my friend is contender 3

just from playing today

we went like 9 and 1 on w/l

[oak aspen]

💔

[unreal kelp]

cos low rank stadium is just

free

[oak aspen]

Thats true

[unreal kelp]

damn

[oak aspen]

Elite lobbys felt like silver games

And pro feels like GM

[unreal kelp]

singular time we lost was the last we played and all 3 of our teammates were just genuinely braindead I was going 8-1 and we were losing rounds

shit was annoying

[oak aspen]

I hate when my dps are braindead about heals

[unreal kelp]

the queue times at elite 2 was so ass need to wait for everyone to rank up

[oak aspen]

I had the most heals in the lobby while we lost and our soldier who went negative said supp diff

[oak aspen]

Had this a bit earlier

[unreal kelp]

[unreal kelp]

most intelligent stadium soldier player ngl

[oak aspen]

Im really hopping I reach all-star soon so I dont have to play this dumb gamemode again

Maybe work on my real rank

[unreal kelp]

glad they nerfed soldier in it that aimbot perk was annoying

[oak aspen]

Soldier got a slap on a wrist compared to juno

[warm flint]

if i drop to fucking elite 2 i am uninstalling this game

this is complete fucking bullshit, what did they do to the semi-functional matchmaking i was getting yesterday

[oak aspen]

Whats your peak gang?

[split remnant]

Anyone got a reaper speed build?

[hearty lodge]

bro i waited for 27 minutes to pay on Pro 3 yesterday

and it was TANK role

oh wait they NERFED mei!

i thought they reduced the knockback bullshit but increased the damage

nononononono, they increased the knockback AND damage! so now she deals less ticks per boulder, thus why they balanced it out a bit with adding 10 AP more damage to them

that is so shit hahahahaha

wow not even cryclone saves it

yeah no they killed Mei's best playstyle

Primary fire it is now i guess??

[hallow fog]

This mode would be peak if it wasn’t 5v5

[warm flint]

just pro 5, it was literally impossible for me to win 4 matches in a row

and a pattern with this dumbass matchmaking is that it tries to force you to have a 50% winrate, at least from my experience

[ember kettle]

I wonder how in-depth build saver is gonna be if you can like. Make sectiona like early game mid game late game etc.

The build savers the main thing i want.

Minus brig but thats season 18

[ember kettle]

1 tank is already way too much here

2 would be overkill

[hallow fog]

True but you’re locked in that tank the entire game

[ember kettle]

This isnt normal 5v5. Tanks can go so much more dmg and survival in here

So. Get over it.

Theres a reason counter buying perks is a thing.

[hallow fog]

nah super tanks aren’t fun

[ember kettle]

Playing dva and thry got zarya? Go matrix build. Get plot armor. Blast them with your matrix up. You eat her ults you take 65% reduces from the laser. Etc. You against a rein? Go baby dva build and just fly around bumping into them dropping lava everywhere. Theres build options for everything. Dont just follow example builds. This is part of why i want build saver and wonder how indepth it will be to target build against comps and characters.

Like genji building for deflect against zarya moira mei etc.

Since hes got a beam deflect

Theres buys that can reduce sleep durations and slow effects depending

[hallow fog]

Also judging from this dva nerf

Seems like devs are more incompetent than ever

[ember kettle]

Theres so much counterplay in terms of the building

Not really. Baby dva was being a menance

[hallow fog]

Dva was already like C tier compared to the other tanks

[ember kettle]

The thing is. Every tank is broken so much that d.va looks weaker than norm. But its also a case of skill issue. People are still relying too much on example builds and not custom building or counter building

Dva is still very good in the hands of good players that aren't following the example builds

[hallow fog]

dva was already terrible without nano cola

Like she’s not bad but there’s really no point in choosing her

[hallow fog]

Ok skill issue I guess

mhm

[ember kettle]

It is. The game modes super new and people that play ow may not be moba players that are use to build systems like this

[pale dock]

hey stadium chat, I am trying to finish the MVP challenge and I need to win a game with Genji.
I don't play genji
whats a cheesy build i can use

[hallow fog]

Think stadium would be more enjoyable if I wasn’t locked in a hero the entire match

[ember kettle]

That wouldng make sense due to how the building works... Just go play normal game at that point

[distant venture]

if i dc in the middle of a stadium round and reconnect, do i not get the cash for everything i did before reconnecting?

[quaint spire]

lf other top500 players to q stadium with, DM
PC

[neon galleon]

Being allowed to switch heroes literally ruins part of Stadium’s point….

[ocean vessel]

i lowkey wish they let baby dva build live longer

[ember kettle]

I mean. Its prob still fine. Just gotta play more safer.

[neon galleon]

I didn’t get far enough into Stadium rankings to really encounter it. Been encountering mostly Reins, JQs, and Zaryas

Orisa and Dva haven’t been very common. Orisa I feel like could be very mean if you focus on her cooldown cycling

Could also let her get a bit of focus back onto her damage

[ember kettle]

Honestly I dont mind torpedo nerfs since they also buffed Juno's money gain

Because I did feel like I got money pretty shittly

[sudden bridge]

they fix the reaper infinite ammo yet?

[neon galleon]

I feel like Factory reset, spynstem update, restortify, supercharger could be a good power set for it. Then getting the items that improve Fortify’s and spin’s duration should be guaranteed items, then could make the other 4 whatever you feel you need

The wall part im still debating on.

Might change the wall parts to just focusing on the cryofreeze

The AP version might be the weaker player

I could just change to Weapon and just. Live to make tanks lifes hell

Maybe just full stack in on the DRs and Armor gain with 2 weapon power things with 1 being codebreaker/salvaged slugs for tanks

This stupid cunt ass whore bitch stole mei from me and is doing absolutely nothing with it. I fucking hate people.

Glad to see Aim Bot 76 nerfs was not near enough and hes still uncontestbly the strongest DPS in Stadim.

It just shouldnt exist in the game.

No character needs to get free auto aim for just shooting the floor with a basic 5 second cd

Theres legit no counterplay to 76 its actually fucking insane

HES GOT 10K DAMAGE

WE LEGIT CANT PUSH HIM

HES NOT EVEN STANDING BEHIND A TANK

12k damage now

he ended the round with 12k damage

With 1 fucking death because we physically cant contest that

He either 1 shots you with rocket, and if he doesnt, he kills you with the auto aim.

Fucking remove this character from the game blizzard

[quick ivy]

#add_sombra_to_stadium

[ember kettle]

Fuck no. You shouldnt have a right to speak. Sombra would ruin stadium moore than what 76 is already fucking doing.

Shes gonna come out and just gonna 1 shot everyone from stealth with a full ap virus build

Theres no fucking way in any world you want that.

[wispy oracle]

they prolly know adding sombra would negatively affect player numbers lol

[rain merlin]

Could you imagine tracer in stadium

[signal jay]

The MVP challenge is the most insufferable thing I’ve ever done

Trying to win with Dva but I proceed to get melted by auto aim builds

[quick ivy]

Sombra traumatized the ow community….

[quick ivy]

No stop i am being slapped by a tracer as a support rn

😭

[simple forge]

ban wie

[night mist]

Keep her out tbh

She deserves it

😭

Complete bias and idc

Keep her out

Only other characters I could see not wanting would be like symm and probably someone else but I’m not thinking and it depends on what they get added to them

[hushed jewel]

Illari is most definitely going to be the last support added

I’m gonna cry

[fossil tapir]

guys what does bty mean

also the shield thing

[hushed jewel]

Bounty

[stark cloud]

THEY RUINED SOLDIER BRUH

[ocean hamlet]

Wot is bro on about

It’s not enough

[edgy flume]

How the hell do I get banned for 24 hours because my Internet disconnected??

This is why I don't play overwatch

[untold marsh]

What gets me right imagine not picking dps then going support only to pick moira and do the worst heals for the entire game then feed the enemy team and blame everyone else for the loss then get upset when you get called out in a ranked game mode. Like if u wanna dps then pick the dps??

Just me?

[ember kettle]

The nerfs basically didnt fix shit. And even if theybdid. He still has the sprint around and get 104739573947493947483064390 mag size and never have to reload build if youbare accurate that can shred tanks and still have plenty left over

[errant vale]

nah they nerfed my entire lucio build

[livid stream]

Everyone know they going be casual stadiums match coming in season 17

[azure obsidian]

I like the changes. Hopefully I can get up there in rank. Just a contender but I'm learning.
0/ the game mode is super fun tho. I hope the new freja characters fun. Been playing stadium more then mystery heros lol even if I lose a lot

[tiny fern]

Sombra for Stadium

Soon! I ber

*bet

[tiny fern]

Atleast not the coming 2 seasons

[acoustic kiln]

sym would be so fun

not to play against but

playing as her

you could go for a tanky build and ramp beam damage

or ability power to just demolish people with turrets

or just straight weapon power and holding w

[tiny fern]

I am excited for brig

[night mist]

True but if there’s anything I hate the most it’s when characters are so good that you feel like you need to play them or you’re inherently at a disadvantage

I already feel that can be the case sometimes with the characters we have

[acoustic kiln]

real

I wanna see if I can get her healing maxed out so I can just make inspire crazy

[hallow glen]

lf mercy to pocket me as cass

femboys and egirls hmu

[radiant heart]

illari and tracer in stadium YESTERDAY

[dusk hazel]

Rip pulsars 2025-2025

[tiny fern]

Rip dva lmao

They really said “the worst tank’s best build is too much, let’s get rid of it”

[hearty lodge]
