He's not that bad, just very little game knowledge. But I suppose it's hard to compete with Semmler and Anders.

He's not very funny, and thinks he is very funny. The chemistry between him and HenryG also feels forced as hell really often. I won't hate on his game knowledge though, as he is paired with the most knowledgeable caster.

Yeah, I haven't seen anyone else trying this hard to be funny and failing at it other than Thorin/Richard with their "Reference game on point" bullshit for a broadcast or two.

As long as it's not Thorin I don't really care. As soon as he gets booted from all shows I'll see if I can start hating a different caster, but for now Thorin consumes all my hatred.

Unfortunately, he seems to have toned himself down a smidge on Eleague so he is less likely to be kicked

Yet he still interrupts with dumb "jokes", and his smarmy looking around with a smug expression after he amuses himself makes me want to punch him in the face.

Weirdly enough it seemed to me like they used to be more sincere, then it became more forced, and the last few times I've seen them, it's been more natural, but a couple times a game it seems like sadokist says something that just absolutely falls flat, and Henry has to scramble to respond. :shrug:

Not convinced this is the case, with hackers or griefing, given their prevalence.

I just tied in a MM game we were dominating, because 2 of my teammates decided to throw. They absolutely never used their mics except to talk poo poo, and told me I talk too much for my call outs. Then they TK'ed me and played like garbage on purpose. I don't talk more than any other halfway decent player, giving basic info on enemy positions. If I were Valve that type of behavior would be at least a month long ban from MM. The fact they get away with it with no repercussions is why MM is terrible.

Were you playing prime, or regular matchmaking? I've had much better experiences than I used to when I solo queue or 2-man queue using Prime.

With a mic yes. I've only met two really cool kids with a mic playing various games. One was just super chill and we didn't even know they were 12 till about 4-5 months of playing with each other. I was shocked, as was everyone else. The second was this kid with an amazing pension for pissing off people with trolls. He also claimed his mother gave him herpes 4 times but later found out it was razor burn. That usually got people talking to him and after that it was like watching a loving child prodigy. He wasn't good at video games but holy hell was he amazing at talking poo poo.


I played two MM games last night. Won both, one by a large margin. With the exception of a 3 kill pistol during money rounds I was ok. Not hot, not bad, accused of hacking once which is the first time and hilarious (crosshair head level makes for hilarious one taps). Prime MM is noticeably better and my two questions are 1) when can I do over watch cases? I actually want to do these. I've played the game as far back as 2002 so recognizing wall hackers, toggles and such are pretty tame. 2) When the hell am I gonna get out of Silver 2? :negative: I've gone on winning streaks, losing streaks, top fragger but never quite bottom. No demotion or promotion. I know it'll happen eventually but I got blue balls here.

To qualify for overwatch you have to have at least 150 competitive wins, and I would assume rank goes into it somewhat as well. I got overwatch at something like 200 wins, I assume because I shot up to the high novas from silver. If you want to rank up just play consistently good. Quit early when you're on a losing streak for the night, and for christ sake don't play during/just after a sale.

Yeah I've gotten OW like 24h after my 150th win on a couple of accounts, but they were both highly ranked.

You only think you want OW until you actually do a few cases and realise how mind-numbingly boring it is. The vast majority of reports are bullshit so you end up watching a quarter game's worth of mediocre plays rather than someone blatant tracing heads through walls or smoke. It'd perhaps be more appealing if you got some sort of ingame compensation outside of xp, but alas.

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
unreal and buns and I encountered a cheater on prime last night. 2k hour account, acting like he was legit. Quilty called his hacks via spec pretty earlier and his highlights were hilariously hacky. The whole game we thought he was just good, turns out his movement was poo poo and he stared at the ground, he just had an aimbot and a wallhack.


Edit: still won despite his 39

Fair enough. I just mean I know what to look for a lot of the time. Not just blatant wall hacks or people reacting to sound.
