Been running into a lot of nasty people today, and they all play the arrow duder. It's weird. Edit: Also it's really fun being level 9 and matched against a tam with three 31s. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd much rather wait longer for a balanced match. Verranicus fucked around with this message at 21:28 on May 28, 2016 |

Pakled posted:Why do my teammates never get behind my shield and shoot at the enemy when I'm Reinhardt Get in the goon discord and most of this poo poo gets solved very quickly. It even makes playing obligatory tank/healer way more enjoyable because your group can be counted upon to do things for actual reasons which is not necessarily the case with a group of randos

The game is good, if you're looking for a PvP team- and objective-based FPS, and don't need an extensive progression system to want to keep playing. I'm pretty sure a lot of the players complaining about the game being bad are the same people that cannot believe they're as bad as they are, it has to be due to imbalance or a bad game.

It's a fun game to play with friends. It is significantly less fun to play solo.

Solo is fun too if you play self sufficient heroes or try to use the decent quality in game voice to communicate with your randos because thats what makes this game fun, team coordination and focusing down innocent mercys

It's a game that has colorful, diverse characters and environments in an age when everything is brown and grey, it's good. Between Over watch and people actually enjoying Doom (singleplayer) I am hoping that we are finally over this "modern war" slump

Mercy is my least played support, so I gave her a spin today. I feel like I am missing a core concept of how to play Mercy, because I felt pretty ineffective compared to Lucio. My healing was pretty low and I rarely got a chance to damage amp. I also died a lot because I swear my team knows when I'm in trouble, so they all hide from me which prevents me from zipping over to them.

There are a few people who get salty and whine when they die, but the vast majority of the time it's just positive experiences. I'm honestly a little surprised.

Always join Goon Discord. You'll not only make friends, but you'll find a team thats a bit more balance because everyone wants to work together. Just don't play with tcjimbo if he shows up, and if someone is bugging you, there are scores of other goons to team with. Plus as a mega bonus you may actually get to play with Legendary Forums Poster Jastiger!!

I've been running into a lot of toxic people in general lately, both on my and the enemy team. I understand that people can sometimes get frustrated because their teammates flat out refuse to kill the enemy Mercy for some reason but insulting them and telling them to kill themselves is kinda hosed up, if you ask me. By the way, I did a thing with Bastion. Now, I know we all hate Bastion but let's just appreciate this for what it is. Pure skill. https://gfycat.com/GiantShowyFinnishspitz

I wish I remembered the Goons name, but there was one guy in Discord who was an awesome coach, and turned 5 scrambling retards into a tight team in 3 games, and it was the most amazing thing to watch. If I ever see that guy again, I'm going to queue with him every. god. drat. time. this is partially because I am a follower not a leader.

I do enjoy playing with goons but I really wish it was more drop-in than it is now. I generally don't join groups through Discord or direct invite because I am only planning on playing a match or two to chill and I don't want to commit to seriously playing it.

For sure, but the brown and grey meme describes a period of maybe four years in the 7th gen and it's really annoying to see people still parroting it like it means anything.

One of those games was a multiplayer shooter. I am not saying that all game are jammed into the modern warfare scene, just a large majority of the shooters.

TheTatteredKing posted:No one heals through a Bastion. As Zen I consider my job to top people off between scuffles. And fart orb people. Yeah but there's nothing you can do vs a Bastion as any healer, and if you're the only support you can't switch to something to deal with it. So you're completely at the mercy of your team, and sometimes your team just lemmings into Bastion again and again.

yeah bastion is easy as hell to kill just corner peek and shoot him man just corner peek and shoot him the issue is when he's got like, a healer and a reinhardt covering his butt, then it's a bit trickier. Then you bring in a junkrat to solve the issue
