Also why do some people say "gh" after a round? Good half? Where the gently caress did that come from? Doesn't gr for good round make more sense?

I like the part where a good portion of the skins are low effort retextures (not that they're bad, but the actual work required is low). You guys sure spent a ton if time and effort creating those, thanks. Oh and icons? Sweet you're the best. I get the feeling everything Blizzard does has to go through a billion people before it can be released preventing many things from getting into the actual game thus the lack of skins.

Blizzard is like a stripper, but I'm the one guy she gives free lap dances to when I'm already in the club having a good time. Also the club had theme nights and they let me in for free.

The bad news is my friends are hanzo and young genji and I'm getting fat and addicted to loot box

Well he's something related to actual game design/mechanics that sucks, is bad, and probably can be blamed on capitalism:

88 out of 110 heroes have been picked or banned competitively in the first 2 days of Dota's International. I think Blizz should shoot for a balance where every hero is at least situationally viable at the highest level of play. IMO.

The announcer does shout "Goal" although I re-watched a clip of mine and it's quiet compared to the music. Might just be my settings.

It's not like they're stupid for saying so. This thread is living proof of that. Buff D.VA, she gets buffed everyone loses their poo poo. Defense characters are still thought to be OP in the lower level of play. Imagine the salt Mei would induce if she was actually good. For the record I wouldn't mind.

South Korea was never hugely into FPS games and don't really have the history that America/EU has with them, so they're at a slight disadvantage. They're still good, though!

Yeah I remember after the D.Va buff people saying that she was way too OP and how she was going to render all other tanks obsolete. Guess that didn't happen.

I think there's a big difference between people overreacting to buffs before the meta fully shakes out and the balance team themselves saying they think heroes being unpicked is fine. The former is just par for the course in any game, the latter implies that it will never be fixed.

No no, what I'm saying is that if the Defense heroes got buffed people would be screaming bloody murder in disproportion to how powerful they actually are, because even today people still call for Bastion and Mei nerfs despite them both being generally considered Not Very Good, Situational At Best. If Blizzard gave Mei a buff, for instance, people would be howling like a pro soccer player taking a fall.
