The Triad Frog is pleased with this custom title purchase.
ARGH! Random players, please don't insta lock D.Va in comp matches and then stay in the back spraying spitballs everywhere, you're not helping! I was running Mercy, I saw that Dva got Nana boosted, so I slap on my damage boost and we go out and kick so... oh, I guess that's cool too, just go ahead and cower in an alcove because there's a Lucio skating around on the point.

She's really good now, stop wasting her! I know I shouldn't expect much out of 40-ish range solo comp, but that just made me sad.

For a CPU? No. That's a pretty safe temp to run long-term. 60 is getting hot and I need to change my thermal paste because I'm getting up to 85 sometimes.

Things could be going better

Tried playing Ana tonight, she is kind of cool but I definitely need to get some practice in to flesh her out before I start seriously picking her as a support over Mercy. Doesn't help that I am incredibly bad at landing sleep darts for some reason.

I don't want people not to pick her, I want her not to suck so picking her doesn't screw over your team

She doesn't actually suck if the people picking her are good. Once again, I'm pretty sure this is a problem that exists between the keyboard and chair and won't be fixed with balance tweaks. Ana isn't bad but boy howdy do you remember not four or five days ago how fuckin salty everybody was over STOP PICKING ANA GODDAMNIT gently caress THESE PEOPLE, so nah, I don't think someone with a scoped hitscan weapon that does 300 damage on a headshot plus a grappling hook plus an assault rifle plus a mine needs to be buffed so much as you need to accept that some of the people you play with aren't going to be very good. Sometimes you will be the person that isn't very good. Such is life.

I have been mulling over the "21:9 is unfair" statement from Blizzard and as much as I would love to see proper 21:9 support myself, I gotta agree that it actually would tip the scales for some heroes more than others.

People would not be happy about a sentry mode Bastion with a much higher FOV that can't be flanked as easily. Also, McCrees ultimate would become a lot more powerful with the added FOV (this could be avoided by vignetting his POV during the ult).

Other heroes, not so much. Sure, they would benefit as well, but those two, Bastion more than McCree, would actually become overpowered.

oh gently caress you game, had a guaranteed win on defense when the server kicked two of us out :argh: I got back in but it was too late and we couldn't win on offense at the same place we stalled them out so timebank was never even a factor. man that sucked

got disconnected from the game server right after that game ended as well

I think I saw a vid showing mcree's ult already has a fixed lock on field regardless of your fov setting. Not sure how they'd adjust for things like the bastion turret mode

How to play Overwatch, by QP people:

- Never play tanks. Tanks are bad and dumb. No one likes tanks.
- Never play supports. Supports are bad and dumb. No one likes supports.
- ALWAYS play a sniper.
- If you can't play a sniper for some reason, play Reaper.
- If you can't play Reaper for some reason, play Bastion.
- If you can't play Bastion for some reason, play Torbjorn (but ONLY on offense).
- Above all, run towards the entire enemy team solo and make sure to make it impossible for your supports to heal you at all so that you can bitch at them righteously for the rest of the match for having the gall to let you die.
- When all else fails, hit your ult and then complain about balance when it fails to net you a kill.
- Complain that you didn't get a card at the end of the game despite having "SO MANY KILLS BRO" (ignore that you have 2 and died like 87 times).
- If, after disregarding the previous rules, you end up playing support like a scrub, you must play as Ana, you must only play as a terrible sniper, and you must ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS blow her ult on the dumbest possible target at the worst possible time.

Follow these simple steps and you, too, can be an Overwatch pubbie pro! :v:

Expecting the general public (who are complete strangers) to coordinate in qp might be unrealistic. Even in competitive it seems like asking a lot.

People's gonna play the class they like, not the class they don't like.

If someone dares to suggest you switch to a more useful class for the current situation, argue with them that you have a GOLD medal for DAMAGE.

Real life example:
The offensive Symmetra on El Dorado, whose Teleporter chopped 3 whole seconds of brisk jogging from our respawn trip to the action, since the enemy team managed to push the cart back to the first arched underpass after we got it within spitting distance of the first checkpoint.

But keep spamming your Orb of death minor inconvenience down the road, damage queen. Meanwhile we'll die trying to actually kill someone on the payload. Oh wait, It's pointless, since their Mercy always has full ult for healing away your trickle damage.

I agree with this. Seagull, Moonmoon and Talespin (by comparison) all seem affable enough.

It's hard to imagine pro gamer being a very fun job though, I think it'd be frustrating most of the time.

I dunno man, recently Seagull is almost on perma salt-tilt. Usually caused by switching to mccree and missing most of his shots.

Played 15 games as Reaper last night just feeling him out, didn't go so well. Overbuff says I'm top 5% in crits and bottom 10% in kills. That probably means I'm aiming too high, doesn't it?

I get the impression he's just super stressed out with what presumably is this decision to leave Luminosity. He hasn't confirmed anything but what else could the announcement he's been teasing be? Seems like he's under a lot of pressure and it's making streaming less fun.

Maybe I've been unlucky in the past few times I've had Seagulls stream on in the background but he has played genji 100% of the time and I much preferred it when he played other characters too.

He seems to default to Genji when he's frustrated and he's really had a tough time in comp on stream lately.

It's got to be weird for the guy to blow up like that. He considers himself a pro player first and a streamer second, but he probably makes more money in a day streaming than he's made his entire career playing pro. It's got to be tough to suddenly find yourself financially dependent on the aspect of your job you consider a lark.

Nah it's always done that. The visual effect goes along the floor but the actual hitbox is high enough to catch people who aren't actually on the ground.
