I think you’ve had a misunderstanding of this issue. Outside the mech D.va is unchanged. In the mech, her survivability and damage have both been nerfed. Her fire rate is also unchanged in both modes.

She needed a nerf for sure, but I do think they’ve changed too much at once. She was F-tier in competitive before they buffed her, and given this makes her damage and survivability worse than pre-buff, it’ll be back to the F-tier for her.

Practically every article on Road Hog has explained that the hook is a projectile, and yet people like you still claim it’s hit scan. Why?

And so are the punishments—getting banned from Overwatch is hardly in the same league as going to prison.

I’m not sure if the mod is available on PS4. Sorry.

There’s a mod to fix that, you know....

Congratulations. Go make your own list, with blackjack and hookers.

Hard disagree. A lightsaber would be one of the most effective weapons to combat the aliens. Quibbling over the definition of cauterization suggests even you know this, but whatever. I just don’t understand how much some people fetishize the xenomorphs. They’re just not that compelling or dangerous, even in their…

I suppose because it’s irrelevant? Human blood is “pressurized.”

Even insects have some form of “blood” vessels. Unless you’re arguing that the aliens are basically acidic water balloons, it’s not just sloshing around in there. If the definition of cauterization is your sticking point, I’ll use heat-fused. The outer and inner alien tissues will be “heat-fused” together, trapping…

Well if you insist, your definition of cauterization is wrong. Google it. Cauterization is defined as a medical practice to remove or close off a part of the body by burning it. Blood coagulation is completely unnecessary for cauterization to occur. The vessels through which the aliens’ acidic blood moves would be…

Since you seem set on being pedantic about this, “tissue” is defined as any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made. Chitin is literally a tissue. And of course they have blood, it just happens to be acidic. Nothing about this statement you’ve posted a couple of times now does anything…

Really? Planet destroying super-laser moon sized space stations capable of travelling the galaxy in days isn’t super technology?

No, of course not. I think that’s probably a big part of why they decided to treat lightsaber wounds as cauterizing completely, retconning the Ponda Baba bleeding wound out of continuity. I’m still surprised all the dismemberments in the prequels got away with as low ratings as they did, even without blood.

The problem with the acid blood is that it’s either really deadly, or completely trivialized by super-technology in these franchise crossovers. It’s like Star Trek vs. Aliens, which got discussed on here a while ago—force fields and disintegrating phasers hose xenomorphs hard. And I’m of the opinion so would…

Maul isn’t human, and there are other non human characters in Star Wars who get cauterized wounds too, but you’re right: I can’t say there isn’t something special about Ponda. But given the weight of evidence, I’m comfortable writing it off as a production error out of line with the later decision about cauterized…

Why? Whatever BS science a lightsaber is based on produces ridiculous amounts of heat. See Qui-gon melting starship blast doors like it’s no big deal. Aliens still have blood and blood vessels, and they’d get sealed shut with every lightsaber cut.

Real world reason? It’s the first movie and they hadn’t decided yet. With canon and large fan-property universes the best you can often do is follow the weight of evidence, rather than every piece which often includes contradictory examples.

I explain that as having as much bearing on the lightsaber discussion as Star Trek phasers or Frodo’s sword Sting—which is to say, none. But if you want images:

If only he had some sort of air filter breathing apparatus.
