  • Mortar Rounds and Big Bertha for the Thunderhead Autocannon are a ton of fun. Just shoot bug.

    Rewiring Mod for the Drak is an interesting playstyle where you keep shooting for more ammo. It feels very counterintuitive after conserving ammo for so long.

    Explosive Chemical rounds for the Lok-1 are a bit difficult to pull off in a crisis, but very satisfying to delete waves when it goes right. Hyperpropellant on the PGL is also great, it about as close as we get to a railgun so far.

    Blistering Necrosis for the Wave Cooker turns a naedocyte popper into a Praetorian killer, and it pairs well with big hitters like the M1000 or an axe. My favorite driller overclock and favorite season 5 overclock has to be Combustive Goo and a Plasma Burn EPC for a fire starter. It’s like a liquid C4 gun, or the two headed dragon from HTTYD. Trap anything in the goo wave, then blow everything up! If something big catches on fire you can keep the explosions going through multiple charged shots and obliterate anything smaller than a dreadnought! It’s so fun!






  • Duck and Cover is quite overtuned too. 3 spreaders and 12(!) acid spitters in one subwave is alarming when your weapons don’t reach the ceiling.

    I do like the crawlers though. A tad fast on high difficulties, basically impossible to hit weakpoints, and a bit too coynterable with ziplines and AoE, but definitely a welcome change of pace!

    I’m actually really enjoying the double hazard season rewards. I wish double hazards normally gave more rewards than just stacking hazard bonus. A guaranteed lost miner/cargo crate maybe?


  • You can’t find a single example from r/Overwatch? You’re not looking very hard then:

    “Jump scare at the end of POG” “Supports almost never get POG, now we don’t even get a card at the end of the match.” “First POG is match POG” “We want to talk after the PoG” “This guy’s whole team left after the first round so we gave him POG…” “Behind every Rein Pog is a support going through a rollercoaster of emotions” “I remember when PoG was tweaked for assist points and every pog was Mercy rezzing two people and dying.” “My friends and I have always called it POG. Not sure why but its what we do. I guess thats where it came from”

    In fact, the large majority of the use of “pog” refers to Play Of Game and not hype. I did notice that this usage is more common in the last 4 years, while pogchamp is mostly used 4-7 years ago. The earliest upvoted usage of POG I can find there is “Taking Trobjorn and Bastion POG into a new dimension.” from 8 years ago though, so it was used contemporaneously with PogChamp.

    POTG is definitely much more popular there, but saying the POG usage doesn’t exists is just wrong.

    Also, news organizations have a horrendous record with slang, that’s terrible evidence. Especially when your source is a 404.

    Besides, I can get spurious souces too (and they work!):

    POG” an overused term on twitch that means “Play of Game” Woah, that was pog. by SSR Rules September 23, 2020
