Except they paired it with "underrated" so I feel like the intended meaning doesn't match. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what?

HanOfTheNekos 01/05/23 10:28:18 AM #53:	It's just a word. It can mean that something was balanced too far (tune in this case is a synonym for balance). It can mean the same thing as overpowered (as in, language develops: literally doesn't always literally mean literally, anymore). I would assume the answer to "why" is based on the first usage, where "overtuned" implies post-balance, which "overpowered" does not. Also, prevalence of term may have increased due to "overpowered" sounding more like a whiny word. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic <cite>HanOfTheNekos posted [p:970633266] in Why do peo...

Epyo 01/12/23 11:04:33 PM #54:	This conversation ran its course, but big BREAKING news on this topic today. I just saw this overwatch hero tier list, on reddit, by Spilo, who is like a pro overwatch coach or something. https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/10ag4j4/spilo_2023_ow2_tier_list_buff_nerf_or_rework/ Their top tier is literally "overtuned (OP)" and their third tier is "undertuned (weak)". We've finally caught someone RED-HANDED using the word "overtuned" as a direct substitute for the word "overpowered". Ladies and gentlemen, we got em The comments are also a gold mine of using the word "overtuned" to mean "strong", regardless of if the character has been changed recently --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!

banananor 01/13/23 10:07:04 AM #58:	"Overpowered" carries a connotation associated with dramatic balance whine, and discussions using it are more likely to be dismissed "Overturned" sounds more fair or diplomatic, it sounds easily fixable, and people are more likely to listen when you use it That's my theory as to why people are using the second word more now --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. <cite>banananor posted [p:970815561] in Why do peo...
