I watched some of the vod of the IDDQD stream, the Reaper teleporting onto the point and getting put down about 4 times in a row cracked me up. He had 100% of the kills in the fight for a loooooong time. I am going to check when IDDQD reaches my poo poo rear end level and wait for the storm to pass. Wouldn't want IDDQD to bully me!

I have reached as high as I figure I'll get in comp. I decided to Hanjo it up. Not throw games, per se, just tryhard with the plank thrower. I got 4 golds and POTG in my first attempt at using him on KOTH. Why is he so hated again?

tryhard =/= hanjo anyway hanzo's hated because you can do things like that when you don't deserve it and because hanzo mains are allergic to the point even when they're tryhards

SectumSempra posted:That doesn't even make sense though. The thing is, if you aren't a griefer, then there are five potential griefers on your team and six potential griefers on the enemy team. Statistically, it's more likely that the other team will get a griefer. Also, griefing is a self-limiting behavior - if you're doing nothing but throwing games, your rank will drop quickly and you'll stop getting matched with good players. Neither of these stop someone from having a real unlucky streak and having some bad games, but over time it should eventually even out. Of course, now that comp games take absolutely forever, it might very well take a lot of time.

he's not picked much right now because of d.va; 250 damage is good but not against 4 tanks. he was popular in the 3 tank meta and he'll likely make a comeback on offense when d.va is murdered by the ptr patch, especially if they re-break roadhog the only problem hanzo has right now is the same thing as a lot of heroes, ie there's no place for him when you want to run 4 tanks and he's not a koth staple like tracer

I like Hanzo against D.va a lot more than a lot of guys, just because it's really easy to do damage to her without exposing myself to much damage from her.SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:Kings row 3 has an okay nook for the shield. I would say it's almost impossible to attack it in a couple places but the amount of times I've been in games where the opposing team just lets someone get behind them and pick them off (or break their shield gen) despite having to walk in front of their spawn to do it is a lot.

After losing five games in a row I ended up playing one more round on Volskaya and just dove on the points. We won in literally 90 seconds. Then someone on my own team poo poo-talked my POTG where I stormed point B, nearly killing two of the other team and then killing their Mercy, being all "How is that POTG"

Modest Mouse cover band posted:I guess what makes it the worst ult? I'm not disagreeing. Ana's sleep dart and Roadhog's hook can nullify many ults, as can Mei's ice wall, as can Genji's reflect. Pharah's barrage is as vulnerable as the tire, but she is the one vulnerable rather than the tire. Junkrat tire dropped off of high chokepoints like Eichenwald, ILIOS with the house, the Lujiang arena can be good. You wanna approach vertically

Dropping them off is fine but having the explosion calculated solely at their feet makes it better to let it fall further than you'd normally think!

My only issue with symmetra buffs is that her shield ult stacks with multiple symmetras in no limits. If you fail the first push on attack into them you then have to deal with 6 550hp heroes with a teleporter without getting too close to them, and even if you win point a, you then have to deal with it on b. 6 torb is totally beatable, 6 sym is, as far as I can tell, not. I get that its no limits so who cares, but it does make the game mode a lot less fun. That's my dumb opinion thx for reading. Sestze posted:For his last game, he picked Widow. Cue guy on his team lamenting in allchat how he's going to lose because there's a widow on his team, etc. etc. And this part was solid gold Jinh fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jan 17, 2017 |

It's the number of times the person has reached level 100, so 2 stars and 50 is level 250. dont worry about level too much, if the game matches a new player with a very high level one then they're probably not very good even with all their time spent. They may have mechanical knowledge but very poor positioning and shooting E: beaten super hard

He's actually 4500-4800 on his main account. The whole thing is an experiment to show that ELO hell doesn't exist.

Pretty sure someone just gave him an account that was intentionally tanked to do this on. Also he doesn't really talk poo poo to the people he's playing with usually, this one guy was saying "oh poo poo we have a widow we lose" at the pick screen and kept it up in spite of iddqd making GBS threads on the enemy. Only at the very end was he like "pls don't go we need u" and then iddqd said that one burn (he had already said before the map started it was his last game of the day).

I don't know why he's doing it, but iddqd is one of the top professional DPS players in the world so yeah he's going to be playing people who are much worse at the game than him until he gets into the top-500, basically.
