(it's a little story)

You know, there's a difference in difficulty in solo player games. There's an artificial difficulty and there's a well-crafted difficulty.

An artificial difficulty – is when you increase the size of HP in enemies, amount of enemies, and lesser your HP so you'd feel more of a challenge...

And there's a smart well-crafted difficulty like in Souls games – when the boss has a particular move set, a few phases and IF YOU LEARN IT – you'll beat it and it would feel great as you've overcome it, it was beautiful because you saw the vision of how it's supposed to be. It's like a dance.

To me, 5v5 falls into the exact first category, a lot of HP on tanks, and the abysmal design of the mode spins around the Core of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Sure I learned my way there, how to Ball in the harsh conditions, but a lot of games, especially losing ones, I felt this stupidity of the mode that I cannot solve. I felt frustrated and disappointed. Sure I reached Master 2, but then I stopped because it felt horrible even when I win – and it's a game, I'm supposed to have fun? I'm not going Pro, why bother?

I've been playing just 6v6 for the past 2 seasons, and I never felt better in my life – I've been playing with a friend and we are 2 ranks away from hitting Champ for the first time. Inflated? - yeah. Do I care? – no.

He says I don't want to do 5v5 anymore, 6v6 feels right.(He was skeptical at first, because not a main mode)

Think about it: Tank synergy, covering each other's weakness, performance of one tank doesn't decide the match, they can also die pretty easily. 1 player could underperform but because there are 6 players we can help until he/she bounces back.

The design is much much superior. Best team wins, not best character.

When losing it feels alright, I don't feel gutted or sad that I was shit talked to, and I couldn't deliver - just because I'm part of a ship now, and not its main carcass. Ball banned? - whatever, I can go any tank and I'd perform decent enough to win. And most importantly, I actually start to have fun again.

Probably the most overlooked voice actor in the game

Ball has some of the best kill lines on the roster

Some of my favorite gems include

The hamster will not be stopped

Wrecked

Unbreakable, unstoppable, invincible

Get out of his way

You cannot outrun The Hamster

Behold The Hamster, Behold the champion

I don’t think Ball would be as fun without him, he would still be fun, just not as fun

I just really love the deep monotone voice in juxtaposition with a freaking hamster lol

And he reads them exactly as he needs to

A future dream voice line would be

You are watching a master at work

Not that he ever left

New Ana perk lowers skill floor of Ana massively giving her a guaranteed 45 damage aoe slow as a minor perk. It detonates in a reasonable area like any other grenade on impact, dealing guaranteed damage and not waking the sleeping target. She can now brainlessly take ball out of fireball.

Anti nade damage was buffed recently and kiriko was nerfed quite hard. I don’t see how Ana escapes perma ban jail for the next few months…..

As a ball main I’m genuinely confused with how meagre the rest of the patch notes were. I get that no one ever picked groggy but now speed serum is going to be useless and needs a buff right? Absolutely zero changes to tanks… ball desperately needs a power balance redistribution. Shield major is too strong and his guns need a buff. Weird patch imo

When im rolling around and hear a Sombra hacking me, i immediately go into stress mode, knowing i have to quickly find Sombra and shoot her.

But what is this?

It was actually my own teams Sombra HEALING ME????

i am CONDITIONED to the sound of hacking. My heart starts RACING when i hear the hacking sound.

And now my brain has to switch it to it being something BENEFICIAL ???

I bought the season 8 battle pass to unlock the critter egg skin and saw you can get for free draugr Reinhardt and 5 battle pass skips with Playstation plus, but in the game this only applies to the current battle pass and not the unvaulted.
