The day I stop shitposting is the day I die. Probably to a dead Torbjorn when i'm the one person on the point as Reinhardt and it makes POTG.

I had a guy get mad that I got PotG as Mei since he was :airquote:technically:airquote: the one that killed everyone in my ult.

Best part is that I just threw in my ult after Zarya had gathered everyone with her ult.

it only updates your stats if you search for your bnet tag, meaning most people arent there in the first place and others arent upating their stats regularly. also it doesnt seem to actually care about anything other than "how much poo poo you do", so people who play 40 hours of Lucio are going to almost always be ranked higher than someone with 10 hours regardless of other variables. this also means it heavily favors people who play a single character.

the site's actual stats it shows in the player pages are nicely formatted and neat, but the leaderboards are executed really poorly and should be ignored

I feel like I can instantly tell if I'm going to lose on defense depending on how far up my team pushes during set up.

Man I just did a Mercy res that staved off my terrible team's impending defeat with the payload inches from the end and potg goes to one of our two Widowmakers who just shot three people that didn't really matter. :argh:

WE ARE SMART
Why do my teammates never get behind my shield and shoot at the enemy when I'm Reinhardt

Why do my teammates never try to kill the Tracer or Reaper that's constantly getting behind us and targeting me first when I'm Mercy

Why do my teammates never group up before charging headlong into enemy defenses

Why am I stuck playing tank or healer in 75% of the games I play

Is there any hard counter to attack teams that go with double tracer harassment? It seemed unreasonably effective even with the "lol pubbies" caveat.

The answer is... 42
If you're not mine jumping all over the map and budget-pharah ulting people from the sky with grenades you're playing Junkrat wrong. I haven't had this much fun in a shooter in a long time.

It really feels like that should be intuitive, but maybe the 60h of TF2 I have under my belt tint my vision. I try not to get too salty, but sometimes you get four, five games where no one seems to accomplish anything and you have gold eliminations with four kills and ugh.

I got a potg as soldier 76 but I got all the kills from inside winstons rear end so the potg was just me clipping inside him and holding fire

The game is cheap enough as is at 40 dollars out of the gate, you'll get every penny of your money's worth.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Lucio is so boring for me. I don't like his gun.

I'm getting good enough at using his gun that l can beat bad Tracers and Reins 1v1 quite often. Can't ever knock people off cliffs tho, the opportunity never seems to present itself.

I'm not even on that site. Do I suck too much or is there something I have to click so it takes my data from the API?

There really needs to be a more pro-active support character now that they nerfed Lucio's damage and Zen's healing. It's so painful when you're the only healer and you just have to sit there and watch as your teammates run face first into Bastion one at a time.

No one heals through a Bastion. As Zen I consider my job to top people off between scuffles. And fart orb people.

So far the only cool thing I managed with Mei is to accidentally launch most of my team up into the air with an ice wall while they were trying to defend the point. :blush:

Is it really? The game gets good reviews from critics, but significantly less good from players.
