Overwatch Players Want The New Hero's Ultimate To Be Nerfed

Overwatch Players Want The New Hero's Ultimate To Be Nerfed https://ift.tt/RNl3Pge With the launch of Overwatch Season 2, Sierra has entered the game as the title's 51st character. But if the early reaction to Sierra's introduction is any indication, she may need to be nerfed soon because her ultimate attack can cause massive amounts of damage to opposing players. When Sierra has 1800 points, her ultimate can fire a drone that drops 23 bombs, each dealing 180 damage. The bombs' impact can be felt up to three meters away, and there's not much players with slower characters can do to avoid being caught in the lethal aftermath. "I love the drone grapple, [but] her [ultimate] is ridiculous and literally needs to be nerfed today," .wrote a player on Reddit . "Also not a fan of every 6 second aimbot. Love her character design though." Continue Reading at GameSpot

Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gets $110 Discount At Amazon

Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gets $110 Discount At Amazon https://ift.tt/3rE1gwe

Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handheld

$490 (was $600)

Get deal at Amazon See at Walmart See at Best Buy See at Target

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is on sale for its lowest price yet at Amazon. Normally $600, the official Xbox gaming handheld is up for grabs for only $490 for a limited time. It's unclear when this deal ends, but you'll also find the recently released handheld on sale at Walmart ($499), Best Buy ($500), and Target ($550).

This isn't the first time the Xbox Ally has received a discount. On November 29, Best Buy and Amazon discounted the device to $500. That deal was only available for three hours as a Black Friday flash deal, so it was easy to miss.

Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handheld

$490 (was $600)

The ROG Xbox Ally is an entry-level Windows gaming handheld with impressive features and performance for the price. The Ryzen Z2 A chip is comparable to Steam Deck's custom AMD APU, and if you increase the TDP--at the expense of battery life--the Xbox Ally can outperform the Steam Deck OLED. For reference, the Steam Deck OLED 512GB model retails for $549.

The Xbox Ally has a 1920 x 1080p IPS display with 120Hz refresh rate and support for VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium. If you're comparing to the Steam Deck OLED, Valve's handheld has a 7.4-inch 1280 x 800p OLED display with HDR and 90Hz refresh rate. So the Steam Deck wins in panel type and size, but the Xbox Ally wins in resolution and refresh rate. That said, to get the best performance on Xbox Ally, you will often want to lock the resolution at 720p, so the Xbox Ally doesn't always take full advantage of its advantages.

The Xbox Ally is arguably the most comfortable Windows gaming handheld on the market today. Asus opted for the PlayStation Portal approach by essentially splitting the Xbox Wireless Controller in half and connecting it to each side. Along with all of the buttons, triggers, and bumpers found on the Xbox Wireless Controller, the Xbox Ally has two remappable back buttons. It also has motion controls and HD haptics.

One of the big selling points of the Xbox Ally is the custom, console-inspired dashboard that is easier to use than the traditional Windows interface. The Xbox Ally has a 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, a microSD UHS-II card slot to expand storage capacity, two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack.
