Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY - Games

This comp season is just Revenge of the Genji, and they slam themselves into a Winston and Symmetra team, with the excuse of "well they're not killing me so I'm not getting countered el oh el."

[QUOTE=FiveEyes;52313948]"Hey guys we need to switch up our comp, this favors them way to much" And of course nothing happens and we continue to fight a losing battle.[/QUOTE] My favorite is when we need a healer, no one else wants to be healer so I do it, but nobody actually bothers to work around me so I can't do shit, and they blame me for losing. Gee, wonder why I don't like playing healers with randoms. [editline]5th June 2017[/editline] Seriously, if your only healer is Lucio, do everyone a favor and [I]stay inside the fucking glowing circle[/I]. Literally the only characters that need to do anything more complicated than that are the tanks, Reaper, and Zenyatta, who just need to follow me when the circle is green.

Not related to anything said in here recently but... My proudest moment in Overwatch has to be when I managed to yell a Torbjörn main into changing a hero on KOTH map after he tried to use the "gold check" argument (4 elims after the first round in which we got crushed). He changed, lo and behold we won the next 3 rounds with ease because we had a whole team during the mid fight.

[QUOTE=PsycheClops;52314159]How loud was your yell?[/QUOTE] Well, I had opened windows so I'm pretty sure our entire street heard me. I have quite l booming voice. :v:

4 games in a row with throwers then 2 against throwers :||| idk if the report function is just useless or if not enough people report or what but it's so incredibly rampant

I guess it helped a lot that I yelled at him what was essentially a well rounded argument why Torbjörn in that specific scenario wasn't gonna do much for us instead of just screaming insults. [editline]5th June 2017[/editline] Ah fuck, my merge.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;52312955]This is honestly the first time I've ever heard 2 girls over voice arguing about video games.[/QUOTE] I think the only time my gf got shit about being a woman was when another woman went apeshit about her "ruining the reputation of all girls" in LoL when she wasn't even the 2nd worst player in a team of 5. She didn't use voice chat or mention that she's a woman at all (feminine username gave it away though) so it wasn't about baiting white knights or anything, just your typical blame it on support crap. Or maybe the other woman had a queen bee syndrome.

[QUOTE=Beetle179;52314231]4 games in a row with throwers then 2 against throwers :||| idk if the report function is just useless or if not enough people report or what but it's so incredibly rampant[/QUOTE] "Avoid this player" was the only working thing. And they removed it. The most I heard about reports is ~3h chat ban for being toxic.

Has there been a single recorded case of people getting banned from a competitive season?

Waiting for Reaper buffs before touching comp :ninja: [QUOTE=Robotboy655;52314364]Has there been a single recorded case of people getting banned from a competitive season?[/QUOTE] I vaguely remember seeing someone in my region complaining about getting banned for a whole season after dcing from a couple of games, idk if I can dig up that screenshot though

Bad loss streak for a bit but i finally managed to climb about 10 ish points where i started off the season on the flip side every win gives me a nice big chunk of sr and each match is giving me like 5K exp per match

I do wonder why they actually removed the "Avoid this player" functionality, because the reason they gave is absolute bullshit and I don't believe it for a second. I am going to assume having a dedicated button saying "Our community is shit" was not good pr.

I don't want to play with you ever again." That's not the intended purpose. It was to get rid of toxic players. Even if you think Windowmaker mains are inherently toxic garbage themselves. v:v:v

Wouldn't just blocking someone essentially do the same thing?

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52315434]Also fan the hammer is a silly ability since his revolver is double action and thus would fire as fast as he can pull the trigger. Fanning only works on single action revolvers[/QUOTE] You can have a revolver that's DA/SA. Also DA revolvers have a longer trigger pull since each pull has to pull back the hammer, so there's a sort of delay between shots.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52315434]Also fan the hammer is a silly ability since his revolver is double action and thus would fire as fast as he can pull the trigger. Fanning only works on single action revolvers[/QUOTE] People confuse Double Action with Double Action-Only revolvers. Any revolver that has a manually operated external hammer which rotates the cylinder can be fanned. The ease of it might depend on whether it requires separate trigger pulls or allows you to just hold it down. Or maybe I'm getting lost in semantics of fanning vs. slip-firing. That's what you get for using a revolver in a land of flying jetpack gorillas with electricity cannons.

[QUOTE=redBadger;52315299]Wouldn't just blocking someone essentially do the same thing?[/QUOTE] Nope, blocking just basically mutes them on all channels.

I got gold in my placements. Not surprised because I played on the weekend, but I am surprised that I got to pick up the 14 year olds, the torn mains, and the people who get play and then manage to get mulched by a fucking legitimate level 26 holds still while shooting junkrat.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52315588]You [I]could[/I] fan a DA/SA it just wouldn't help you any. vid If they ever want to buff Mcree just replace him with this guy :v:[/QUOTE] but he CAN get 12 shots off under 3sec, he just gotta get a little dirty first

[QUOTE=Wulfram;52315534]Considering its a future revolver that shoots plasma bullets, he can do whatever with it and I'm not asking questions.[/QUOTE] He also fans it with a fuckin robot arm.

Lucio's Jazzy skin is just perfect and I'm really glad I found one in a loot box

[QUOTE=Wulfram;52315534]Considering its a future revolver that shoots plasma bullets, he can do whatever with it and I'm not asking questions.[/QUOTE] Plasma bullets that for some reason make old west movie ping and pang noises on impact, because... Science?

It's a game, doesn't need to be 110% accurate about everything

[QUOTE=Everything;52316041]Plasma bullets that for some reason make old west movie ping and pang noises on impact, because... Science?[/QUOTE] Because videogame. It is really ridiculous how we're in this magical futuristic setting were there's robot people, seemingly limitless energy, giant mech suits, buildings can be built out of thin air, and yet there's still a vigilante cowboy that uses just a revolver and he is very effective. [editline]5th June 2017[/editline] also bullets really do make that "peeoww" sound when they ricochet. Not all the time though jump to the time in the title [video=youtube;7WI7J81thtg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WI7J81thtg[/video]

[QUOTE=PopSkimo;52316070]It's a game, doesn't need to be 110% accurate about everything[/QUOTE] To be fair, they do try harder than most to make the crazy stuff that goes on in that world more believable. The distinction between omnics and generic robots, for example. Omnics are what happens when robots get smart enough to build themselves generationally, iterating and improving with each generation.
