Where is Ana's parrot? :(

dankfishman: The parrot really only appears on 2 occasions, the default heroic pose, and maybe the default potg intro (im saying maybe because they changed the default from overwatch too overwatch 2 and blizzard might have removed it) other then that the parrot does not appear

Can this controller be saved?

Air_za: UPDATE 2: I'm back home now and the controller works perfectly!! Haha thank you so much for your help u/shanksmuchly , and for everyone else offering advice. You've all been great.

For those who want to know, I was desperate to use the headset to play HL Alyx, as I just got it on the recent Steam sale.

Also, if you're wondering why I was "bashing the terminal in," it was in an attempt to break off all of the corrosion that prevented it from moving -- the terminal is supposed to give way to the battery, like a spring.

In retrospect, it was a really dumb idea but I'm glad I did it as it allows for my controller to work normally now. I've since learnt my lesson: always remember to remove idling batteries!

Anyone else think the steam deck could have used just a single extra USB-C port?

TheTybera: Not really.

I think the single port with wide support is better than having another one. There isn't much that another USB-C port can do that can't be done by a single port. As soon as you're using a port for a dock, we're done, the dock or hub can have pass-through power.

There are very few peripherals currently that support direct USB-C. I would be curious to know what your use case is here.

I can't get out of silver any tips

Asleep_Dust_8210: So they are called supports, so I think that’s one big reason you might be stuck in low ELO. A support is supposed to support the team. Healing is cool and all, but damage is way more valuable. Keeping everyone at full health at all times usually screws you more than it helps.

Especially for a hero like Zen, you have to be focusing on getting important picks and discording targets that are being focused. Your whole value mainly comes from damage, and I think your issue may be that you’re not doing enough. Zen is the furthest thing from a “healer” this game has to offer, and if you’re playing zen like a healer you are gonna lose a majority of your games.

Same with Mercy. Mercy is really bad right now, so there isn’t a lot I can say here. Just focus on damage boosting more often than not. A tip I used (along with previous FPS experience) got me to diamond within my first 3 seasons of overwatch. The tip is to use damage boost as your default. You are a blue beam mercy, not a heal mercy. If someone is critical or you know they’re about to take a lot of damage, switch to heals. Once they are a safe amount of health (say 60-70%+ of their max health), switch right back to blue beam. Blue beam should be your default.

Lastly, like I said, support. Do more than just heal, and use a supports kit to do it all. Spam orbs towards their dps to pressure them out of position, blue beam vital DPS and Tank plays. Soldier Visor? Run over and blue beam asap. I would give tips for using resurrect, but it requires a lot of game sense that I think you’d be better putting off until you get better at the game. Good luck, and you’re free to reply to ask for further tips!
