The first time I met him he lectured me about picking the wrong pokemon when we were drunkenly playing the n64 arena game. Our friendship lasted all of 12 seconds.

The McCree would have always won outside your hook range last patch too :shrug: poo poo Soldier76 is/was capable of doing the same exact poo poo from further away. You're attributing all this poo poo to why Roadhog is ineffective when it's 99% Zenyatta. The dude went from a barely played gimmick pick mostly played by people apathetic to healing and just wanting to shut their team up to being an almost mandatory pick at high levels of play.

Even without Zenyatta, McCree has received a massive buff against Roadhog, which is the entire point of this discussion.

You're right in that McCree would have won outside of the hook range prior to this recent buff/nerf cycle, but the point is now McCree has a lot more leeway to put the hurt on him without exposing himself to unnecessary risk. He would have had to be much closer to Roadhog prior to this than he has to be now, which massively reduces Roadhog's effectiveness since it used to be a fairly high risk/reward thing for McCree: He could take Roadhog on, but he'd have to take into account the possibility that he could be essentially one-shot if he made even the slightest judgement error.

That isn't the case now. McCree destroys Roadhog, and there's not much he can do against him assuming the McCree is playing to his new strengths.

Zenyatta allows, and always has, McCree to sort of gain this advantage even with his pre-buff falloff, but now Zenyatta is picked more often and is more effective at weighing the McCree/Roadhog encounter in McCree's favour because McCree is now actually heavily favoured by default.

So, is this the first mass banning by Blizzard in OW? Also, did any pro gamers get banned yet?

Going out on a limb here to say that maybe he edited the text to remove his actual account name and replace it with the embodiment of his angst. I mean, I hope I'm wrong, because I like your narrative more.

Then again that account name suggests there's probably not a huge amount of shame in that relationship.

Had a sick run with a few goons last night where we went 10-2 in competitive. Winning makes competitive a lot more fun. Overbuff puts my skill rank at 67% now, and it was 24%, time to turn pro.

Is there a reason that my fps would be limited after installing OBS, even when OBS isn't running? I wanted to stream some games this weekend just so I would have an easy way to rewatch them later. But my fps while streaming was in the 40s and it's been stuck there ever since, even without any in-game settings changing (it was in the 130+ fps range prior to this).

I'm a pretty mediocre player, I'm getting reasonably good at clicking heads. Roadhog is very easy to headshot as Mcree from very far away. I'm always pleased when the enemy team has a Roadhog this patch. It's a lot of meter and at my mmr road hogs don't know to not heal when they are for sure going to die so you get even more meter.

When did the bans hit? I actually have been disappointed lately in how I've been doing. I wonder if this was prevalent enough at my skill level that I might suck less. I did find out how big of a deal upload "ping" is. I played last week on 3mbs DSL in the boondocks, without a headset, and tendonitis in my mouse wrist. My gaming buds stopped inviting me to the competitive group. RIP

It is my belief that everyone that is :airquote:better:airquote: than me is a dirty filthy cheater and now i can finally get up to rank 80 today, maybe tomorrow latest. Thanks Blizzard!
