The Triad Frog is pleased with this custom title purchase.
I picked it up this weekend, the hardcore whiners are the same people who complain about super smash brothers not being final destination, no items, fox only. This game is stupid fun, and I'm not even mad about getting absolutely wrecked sometimes when the team matchups end badly, or the maps that have just a little too tight of choke points. I am a little annoyed at how long the run back to defense and attack is on some of the maps when you don't have a vertical movement option.

Still a fun game, and the focus on positives really cuts out a lot of the toxic bullshit that seems to show up in moba-style games.

Shockingly enough, esports is a joke where you're either blatantly cheating or getting coddled by the balance team

In cs go it's hilarious how hard players defend a hacker by saying "He's just that good." When high profile top professional players get caught cheating, what's to stop the many thousands of random nobodies with dozens of throwaway accounts from doing it?

Even funnier, that same guy later in the match was banned during the game due to confirmation of hacking.

Well, Blizzard is bad. It's just that all of it is contained to (World of) Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Lost Vikings and Blackthorne.

Rock 'n' Roll Racing is fantastic.

I am back after some overwatch. It is an okay game.

Something bugs me about it though. Even when winning matches it doesn't feel like winning. Losing doesn't feel like losing. It feels like the game is running automatically and giving the illusion of choice and ebb and flow of battle.

Maybe I'm too tired of fpses

Makes me think of planetside, where winning and losing doesn't seem to really ever matter. Can say the same for most games, but most games let you feel like you reached some kind of end, but the unending feel of it all makes it seem insignificant.

Cheaters getting banned is always funny

cheaters are legitimately mentally ill or incredibly stupid most of the time

i talked to one online and he basically said that blizzard were cucks because they didn't let him cheat, and that it was his right to do so, and that he was going to write to blizz support every day until they unbanned him, and he was certain that they would do so if he just spammed them enough

i couldn't respond in any way other than with various lmfaos and rofls

edit: i mean valve definitely lets cheaters run amok to a certain extent so that they can sell more copies of CS:GO but blizz has a real hateboner for cheaters i guess

Yeah, I can totally understand that. This game seems to really be one of those "its the journey, not the destination" things. I'm guessing the point of it is unleashing your cooldowns and seeing their effect rather than winning or losing per se.

That said, I don't play Bastion but I have a ton of fun backing him up as Mercy or Reinhardt. As a rotting old man, by FPS standards, I stick to characters that don't require much twitch skill.

sometimes, you make a clutch play that totally swings the game. But usually, you're just blowing on a ping-pong ball with 11 other people.

There has been a big push to monetize content and the competitive scene in Blizzard games for a while now. In order to charge you for new skins and ensure they get a cut from anybody doing PROGAMER knda stuff they will need to prevent modding.

At best you may see player created content sold on an official shop with Blizzard picking up a %.

Blizzard is pretty salty about not being able to charge people for Warcraft III custom maps (DOTA) or the Korean progamer Starcraft scene.
