Blizzard, NERF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS

I wanna say beforehand, I’ve got every single achievement in the game, the really extremely hard ones from boosting. These ones listed here are based on mostly luck and barely any skill, so I’m hoping Blizzard decide to ‘balance’ them to make it more skill based than luck based.

Cratered, Antipode, Halt state, Waste not want not, Rapid Discord, Power outage, Window of opportunity and more al almost literally impossible to get without Boosting. You literally have to spend 10s of hours trying to get these legitimately so I think it’s time to nerf these Blizzard. These are literally impossible to get Blizzard. I’ll even help you out with changing these:

Cratered: Change it from hitting 6 people to hitting 4 people, it’s literally impossible to hit 6 even with a Grav cause that’s been nerfed. I wouldn’t even mind if you made it kill 4 people, just not hit 6 cause that’s impossible. It’s not skill based at all, it’s 100% luck based and I don’t think that is the point of your achievements

Antipode: Hit 7 people simultaneously? Really Blizzard? Really? Like this is just impossible even with a zarya grav because you need to hit your team mates too and 99% of the time the people in the grav will die. Sure you can use your ult in a choke but it’s still hard to get. Just simply make it hit 6 or 5 at once or hit 7 people in total, not simultaneously. Also I think if your team mates are at full health and you hit them it doesn’t count towards the 7

Halt state: 1000 Damage with a SINGLE use of halt state. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING. ALSO, RECENTLY, THE HALT ABILITY WAS NERFED MAKING THIS EVEN HARDER TO OBTAIN! ALSO, ENVIRONMENTAL KILLS DON’T COUNT EITHER? WHAT?!?!? AT LEAST CHANGE IT TO 650 DAMAGE BECAUSE THE SNARE WAS REDUCED FROM 1 SECOND TO 0.65 RECENTLY.

Waste not, want not: Ok this one is easier but with recent updates where using his abilities reload his guns makes this impossible without boosting so nerf this to at least 2 people, please.

Rapid Discord: KILL 4 PEOPLE IN 6 SECONDS! AGAIN! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! Change it to either 3 kills in 10 seconds or 4 kills in like 16 or something. Also I think the timer for this is broken anyway.
Power outage: Just make it 5 people, like seriously, I mean I personally didn’t find this hard but, 6 in one area is quite rare, not impossible but still quite rare

Simple Geometry: Now this one used to be possible before Hanzo got his rework to his scatter arrows and his nerfs to storm arrow. He has to get 3 kills with a SINGLE use of storm arrow. He has 5 arrows in storm arrow and 2 headshots is one kill to a 200HP person. Meaning even if you did have skill with Hanzo, this still is Impossible!

Window of opportunity: I’LL SAY IT AGAIN! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!! AMPLIFY 2500 COMBINED DAMAGE AND HEALING WITHOUT DYING!!! WHAT??? HOW??? HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO EARN THIS!!! DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO ENDURE TEARS OF FRUSTRATION!!!

So that’s my list of Blizzard’s most annoying mistakes on achievements, if you have any other achievements to add to this list please do. And if Blizzard sees this: The whole trophy hunting community of Overwatch begs you to balance these achievements to stop the torturing. They should be skill based not luck based! We all beg you, Please.

I’ve heard the storm arrow one is a pain with how much it’s been nerfed

Cratered is ridiculous…in modern day overwatch with like 6 or so new heroes since doomfist launched…teams are never near enough OR there are too many abilities that make hitting 6 people about as close to impossible as it gets

Antipode was relatively easy, cratered and rapid discord is prob the near impossible one but the rest is still okay.

Antipode, power outage, want not waste not and halt state are all relatively easy to get.

Do you know how pathetic is MS has an offensive ult? its more reasonable to hit people with it than actually kill them

I guess this is Moira (my memory sucks) that one is surprisingly easier than it seems

Just use Halt on a Grav, Self Destruct, Tire, etc

Note sure if its still a thing, but apparently you can get this with your ult if you shot 3 people first and then finish them off with the ult

I agree this one is stupid…

Its incredibly easy to get actually… just kinda have to waste the ult

Yeah this one is a nightmare

How I did most…but I have updated it in a long time…

Baptiste I recommend going the healing route…it’s just easier to coordinate but it might actually take longer

I got rapid discord by accident a year or two ago, the trick is that you dont need to kill them yourself, just let your team gain up on them during a team fight and just flick it around

Same with the Reaper want.

You can tag 3 people with your shotgun and then kill them with Death Blossom.
Or Let someone else kill them.

Cratered is absolutely ridiculous. I know a Masters Doomfist that don’t have it, and I DO have it. I am probably the world’s worst Doomfist. It’s literally nothing to do with skill and just sheer dumb luck.

It is pure luck, i literally got it after the round ended during the slow motion thing

You need something ridiculous to happen…case in point…My friend got it and immediately sent me video…how you ask?

Defending Paris point B…he decided to walk around the right side (outside) to get some health and decided to poke out front to see if he could find anyone…as he rounded the corner he saw the attacking team had set up a bastion bunker out on the lawn…why? Because of course that’s where you set up a bunker…popped his ult and landed and yeah all 6 were there…because of course they were

Like that’s what it takes…a team to be drunk (this was in diamond mind you)

Antipode isn’t that hard TBH, just shoot Coalescence down a choke. You’ll nab several of your team and the enemy.

Most of the rest tho… yeah. Cratered and Window of Opportunity are not reasonable at all. Waste Not Want Not is hard but fine IMO. Halt State should probably get a small reduction with the nerfs it’s gotten. Power Outage is mostly fine IMO since you can Hack someone if you miss them with the EMP and still get it.

i agree with regards to cratered and window of opportunity. the rest are easy to get if you plan ahead.

halt state: try to pull the enemy team into a grav or dragon (what i did).

rapid discord: just play zen and be aware of putting discord on the characters about to die. i got it just by playing, it’ll happen. just make sure to not remove the discord before they die.

waste not: like someone else said, you can hit the characters and finish them with your ult and you’ll get the achievement as long as no one hits them. the other way is to spawn camp a support/squishy.

antipode: imho its really easy, just use it on a push in a choke or on koth maps. you’ll hit the 7 targets.

power outage: same as before, scout the team and drop it when you see them together. take advantage of the sky box to give you more range (dorado 2nd point is where i got it iirc)

In general, you need your allies to be competent enough that the enemy doesn’t try to spawn kill them or otherwise play sloppily because they have no respect, but no so competent that any of them manages to get a kill before you land. And you need the enemy to be competent enough not to get themselves constantly killed and are generally grouped up, but not so competent that any of them just move out of the way when they hear/see him ulting.

And you have to be lucky enough to have ult in the moment that all comes together.

It is total bs

As much as I like these I feel like it would be unfair to the people who had spent hours trying to get these!
I know that if I got the Doomfist one and then the next day they announced that they’re making it easier to get I wouldn’t exactly be happy!

I mean you can show off that you got it when it was hard

I would because it’s luck. I didn’t do anything that special to earn it really.

If they did change any then I feel like they’d have to change the visual appearance of the spray, like making him stand in a different position or just change the colours

I try the cratered achievement literally every qp round but I just can’t get it… it seriously needs a nerf lol

i’ve been trying on qp classic now that you can get achievements there and koth maps but my biggest challenge is that i really really really suck at doomfist lol

im lucky if i can farm two ults in the same game its really sad
