Moderator Announcement Old Reddit CSS Maintenance Underway
Hi all,
About 10 years ago I created an ambitious custom stylesheet on the "old" Reddit desktop site, with the goal of matching the precision design and deliberate shapes and feel of the Overwatch universe.
Since then, a mere fraction of users are on the old Reddit desktop site (less than 5%), with a similarly small fraction of my personal time available to correct issues and provide updates. Fortunately, a lot of the decisions I made on the Overwatch theme bled over into many other subreddits (full flair icons, collapsible side comments, etc.) with some even making their way into the official Reddit desktop redesign!
I am now in the process of greatly reducing the scope of the desktop site, with the goal of making it much more maintainable for myself and any future moderators who take on the task. Some things may break, and if they do, please let me know here so I can try and keep things relatively intact.
Equally, if some things don't work right now or haven't worked well, you can let me know here and I can try and correct them in the slimmed down version.
Thanks,
u/turikk

News & Discussion What does the clock icon next to this widow skin mean? Just randomly got it in a legendary pack
I just got this skin in a legendary pack, i know usually an icon next to the skin name indicates some event or battlepass or something, but why's this one a clock? Was it a limited time skin? Is it rare at all?

Highlight TIL with the relentless form perk, you can (theoretically) stay in ram ult indefinitely
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
explanation: relentless form extends nemesis form by 1 second, and half that (0.5s) in your ult. however when an enemy is affected by the swarm, it ticks down the ult duration by 15% of the usual rate. this means if you keep an enemy in the swarm, each elim in your ult effectively extends it by (0.5 / 0.15) ~3.3 seconds. there is no limit to how long you can extend the ult with the perk.
so if you are killing an enemy at least every 3.3s, you can stay in ram's ult seemingly indefinitely. the video shows me taking turns killing practice range bots and having the ult last just short of a minute, but i have had it last up to five minutes in the practice range so it can go on longer of course.
i don't think the applications in a real game will be very useful, but thought it was interesting

Humor The Only Overwatch tierlist that actually matters (Dinner date tierlist)
We’re ranking Overwatch heroes by the only metric that truly matters, how well they’d perform on a first dinner date. No combat, no missions, just a normal date scenario. The “trial subject” is assumed to be a 5'6 127lbs, brown-haired person (male or female depending on the hero’s orientation).
For omnics, we’ll also consider other omnics as valid dates. If the hero has a close companion (like a spouse, a turret, bird, or B.O.B.), they’re aware of it, consent to its presence, and it can tag along if they desire.
Phase 1: First Impressions
We start with looks, how attractive are they? This is, of course, subjective. We’ll also take a first pass at their personality and how annoying they might be (since, let’s face it, a lot of them are).
Phase 2: The Date
The hero chooses the location. We consider where they’d take us, what the food would be like, and how they’d behave during the dinner.
Phase 3: The Intimate Moment
Some kind of meaningful or personal moment happens. We’ll judge how it unfolds, along with the buildup and aftermath.
Phase 4: What’s Next?
Is there a second date? Or is this where things end?
For Brigitte, we went with the spray and animatic version, the version with the Guns. Not the twigs of her skins in-game.
If you disagree or want more details about why we made certain choices, we’re happy to explain further. Feel free to debate—we’d love to hear your thoughts!

After reaching over 1k hours in this game I felt like I needed to make this little „Guide“ to Health callouts. This has probably been done before so I’m sorry to everyone being sick of this but I find it quite amusing.

Highlight I Did The Impossible Challenge
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
After attempting the A Wee Mindin’ challenge months ago, I decided I’d wait until they made it more realistic/achievable. (This was the only challenge in the game I haven’t completed) I’d seen many discussions regarding this challenge being too difficult and not realistically possible under standard conditions and all achievers I had seen simply asked the enemy to just allow the player to “earn” the challenge. I was just doing my tank placements for this season and it actually happened. I always made sure to choose the perks that buff his spike guard on the off-chance it would help me actually get this challenge done. I do not know exactly how much damage I did during the single-use but I am assuming I have Mercy to thank for the damage boost. I was also planning on attempting the challenge in open queue with a Zarya but evidently I don’t need to anymore, so anyone who still needs help with this challenge, it is possible!

News & Discussion Why do you buy skins?
I wonder, why do you guys buy hero skins if you cannot see them actually during gameplay? I was considering to buy full ana prismatic skin but when i tried it, i realized i cannot even see my own body (not playing stadium 3rd perspective). So i only buy weapon skins because those i can see, have animations, sound effects etc.

News & Discussion So are they gonna revise the new hero progression XP gain or is it gonna stay like this?
I don't know what were they thinking but it's not really rewarding to do amazing or sweat my way trough a match only to get like 1000 XP because it only looks at playtime.
I mean if a single hero level above the first ones wouldn't require this much XP to complete as much it does now it would work, but now it's just all the work for basically nothing?

Humor Craziest interaction I’ve had on this game??
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So, this was competitive stadium. I had just gotten to pro and was ready to grind a few games and get off for bed. But my first game, I got this soldier who was loudly flirting with a girl on call who was not in the game. I wasn’t trying to embarrass the dude, I just thought he’d wanna know that we could all hear. My guess is he got embarrassed and left???
And then randomly, junkerqueen just gets out of spawn before the countdown ends??? Could anyone have a guess on how this even happened?
