I remember being in a weird match in OW where a genuinely new to gaming player asked what GG means. The first reply as followed was "Goodbye Garbage"... Oh well.
Imagine being european and trying to push comp.
Y'see, crates didn't really bother me in that regard. At least in the early days I could flip them for a couple scrap on trading servers. Nowadays, I can still throw them on the Steam market or at least ScrapTF's incinerator for anyone who really wants them. Failing that, I can always just delete them, but I've got so much backpack space now from Valve handing out an expander every Christmas than I can afford to just shove the valuable ones on a page in the deep back and wait for them to appreciate while getting rid of the rest.
Reminds me of the time where league did the same but for eu west and eu east, and for some fucking reason denmark was part of eu east but germany wasn't?
lower the price all you want Blizzard you cant compete with free porn
So you had to play with russians?
yes, and everyone I played with was on euw
What let me down about OW was the lack of a story campaign. I thought for sure after the first anniversary event was well recieved we we're going to get a legit stoy mode where you play with 2-6 other players depending on the mission. Nope, never happened. Every Blizzcon has been the same. New hero, new map, nothing else. It got old quick.
I usually only type "gg wp" (or type it out fully if it was an excellent game) after an even match that was actually fun. Typing "gg" after a steam roll is disingenuous because it was not a good game, otherwise it wouldn't have been a stomp. The best thing to do as the winning team of a stomp is to not type anything so you don't sound condesending or ignorant, and call out the dicks who do that. The best way to prevent salt is to avoid generating it. Banter isn't always in good taste and trash talking randoms isn't a good idea unless you're confident its in good fun. Making someone who has to deal with a terrible loss feel worse by gloating is just being a dick. Overwatch changing "gg ez" to those long funny sentences somehow made it even worse to be on the receiving end. And people still find ways around it so they can type "geegee 3Z" or some shit. Then again, Overwatch is the only game that made me rage hard enough to slap my mouse on the desk, and at that point I knew not to keep playing so I'm not sure if that's changed.
I've seen a lot of porn, but I've never seen something as forced into something else as esports in overwatch.
And it's not that well done either. When the game first came out there wasn't even a pause option. Then there was the confusing visual clutter and lack of team colour which meant that between rounds(maps) teams would change colour making it hard to keep track sometimes. They've also completely gutted the esports scene that isn't the OWL. There was an event where certain streamers would drop lootboxes for viewers but during that time the Contenders (t2 scene) did not even drop any. There isn't even advertising for it.
