In a way you're losing games BECAUSE of the quadruple gold. If your team was any good you wouldn't be doing better than them in 4 out of 5 categories.

I joined a game in progress last night and got gold on an Ilios map with 1 elimination. I joined with only 20% left to go. The next round wasn't much better - gold with 5 elims. It was pretty much me vs. the world. I just assumed it was one of the fabled "haha your win rate is too high, enjoy!" rounds.

You have that a bit twisted around. He has quadruple gold *because* he's losing. The quadruple gold isn't a cause of him losing

That said quadruple golds are easy to get on certain heroes (Soldier, Roadhog) without really contributing as much as it would seem, between racking up damage on shields and suiciding into fights feeding opponent ult meter

Yeah but the thing is you do that all game and

1) you lose the match

2) might as well go play vs the AI or install a nes emulator and play duck hunt.

If you're rolling a premade maybe you can focus fire the turrets and then rush. but if you're solo, it's just a stagnant line of battle until defense wins. It's boring. It's not satisfying.

There's an Overwatch competition today, btw. It actually started yesterday and today is the finals. It's on JoshOG on twitch. I think it's Luminosity (Seagull's team, if you're a fan) up against the best in the tournament right now, EnVyUs, but I'm not sure.

I think lg is against northern gaming red first today

e: the stream keeps cutting offline as well so I guess they're having problems

2 nerds I don't know are doing the lead up right now

Looks like NGRed is down a player? That sucks

And yeah, it's Luminosity vs NGRed, then EnVyUs vs Cloud 9

Edit: stream crashed?

Aug 26, 2010



it was supposed to have started already but I guess there were delays, I haven't been paying much attention to what the casters were saying. the stream is up so you could just have it on in the background while you do other stuff until it starts

e: ng red is forfeiting so don't worry about the stream. they're trying to get c9 vs envyus going early but we'll see what happens

NGRed forfeits because they can't get a hold of their sixth player or sub

If they get a sixth they can compete for 3rd place later. For now, EnVyUs vs Cloud 9.

Pretty bog standard period as there's no recoil to speak of. It's like a quake railgun shot with a less obvious fire trail.

Do they always lead to two more kills and a guaranteed point cap?

c9 vs envyus is gonna start soon, the casters are talking about it. you still have some time since they'll probably be talking for a bit before the map banning starts tho

c9 has been looking kinda weak the past few days, but these are the teams ranked 1st and 2nd in the world right now so it should hopefully be a good game

I'm hoping that the damage nerf on the turrets doesn't make Torbjorn useless.

any match without torb is much better and more fun for both sides honestly so I welcome the disintegration of dwarf on consoles. I do like how they're doing console-specific nerfs for Widowmaker on PC, turrets on PS4.

I like that Blizzard has acknowledged balancing around the different control types, are there any other games that are separately balanced by platform?

Zenyatta is like Teemo because he contributes something to the team but it's not really what you need and what he does isn't good enough to win most games by himself. He's also the character that most people troll with by picking and the character that most people go "please don't play him" or "we have zenyatta, gg" and poo poo like that

There's something satisfying about backing a Pharah into an enclosed corner with Reinhardt's shield and watching them kill themselves with their own splash damage :allears:.

become a poopsocking otaku who cums into plastic bottles and spend 18 hours a day perfecting the art of Hanzo whilst popping your back pimples, subsequently rubbing its sick between your index finger and thumb and taking a big whiff as you press Q

at least that's what I imagine every time I get randomly headshot by one as I'm coming around a corner and he's just firing arrows indiscriminately at nothing and happens to catch me

what I'm trying to say here is: gently caress Hanzo, and gently caress people who play him.
