You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
So I hijacked BenSmash's custom scrimmage game for a round (because he left or something and control went to me) and 110% walkspeed 150% projectile speed is beautiful and pure and that's how the game should actually work :allears:

e: I have unconfirmed reports that not only does increasing projectile speed affect Roadhog's hook, but that hook's range is based on duration, so increasing the speed increases the range.

Confession: I have an overactive imagination and being on the wrong side of an Earthshatter and my first-person view Reinhardt come at me and smash me to death freaks me the gently caress out sometimes.

Even without being Earthshattered finding yourself suddenly face to face with a Rein is loving terrifying. In this gif I had been repeatedly killing this poor Rein so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Since it was QP I had music going and didn't even hear the super loud footsteps and nearly jumped out of my chair.wall.

At 75 damage a swing, and the weirdest hit box in the game, he makes short work of any 200 hp hero.

My favourite game that I won was at 3950. We were getting rolled so we all went "gently caress it" and swapped to five DPS and a symmetra.

We won so hard. Synmetra was more than enough to keep the DPS up, it was insane

Mine is a competative match I did with friends, Eldorado defending first. Opponents pushed it exactly six meters. On attack I flew to the payload as D-va and just took it. A friend got POTM by healing me as I did it. I have no idea how they could make so little progress without actively avoiding the payload.

So I'm generally not a fan of Your Overwatch/Stylosa's clickbaity channels (although Stylosa gives actual decent advice in VODs). But I came across this beautiful video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izlOb-gUpBM

Apparently the guy who sent the VOD in a youtuber/major troll who is dicking around in super low SR games. Stylosa catches on but still reviews it and seeing an attack torb just tear through an entire red team nearly singlehandedly is probably the funniest poo poo I've ever seen. Also the angry voice of one of the dude's teammates is just hilarious sounding when he gets all tilted.

I normally like Stylosa but man does his channel get annoying to watch whenever there is a new hero about to be released. Also the guy has the hugest boner for PVE content and thinks that a glorified horde mode is the greatest thing added to Overwatch :psyduck:

...if he realized it was a troll, why did he keep going with the video? Like, he realizes it five minutes in but he keeps going on and on about bad turret placement the whole time. Why not just...scrap it and do a new video? It's not like it would even inconvenience him since he admits he doesn't actually prepare for his reviews​ and it's all steam of consciousness.

The entire point is that it was a dude intentionally tanking his SR to gently caress around. Of course the other team doesn't know how to deal with him, that's why he keeps making incredibly cocky plays. You'd think by like the tenth time the reviewer dude would have caught on but nope.

To be fair, I would genuinely like to see an actual full-fledged PvE style expansion that goes a bit deeper than a 10-15 minute horde mode.

He's actually both my favorite and least favorite channel for those reasons. Can't stand the clickbait or patch notes "discussion" but absolutely love "Overanalyzed" advice videos. I hope it's mostly good advice because I try to learn from it

He was having fun watching it and joking around while at the same time being able to put some tips out there for people who like to play Torb. He makes several asides throughout the vid about some of Torb's mechanics (turret placement, ult usage, etc) Usually when Stylosa does one of those VODs he's giving tips to the player and other people who use the same character. So he's just having fun and killing two birds with one stone.

And a bit of a dig at the epic ween troll. Hanjo is funny almost as some kind of surreal performance art but most of these awesome players who deliberately come down to low level play are pretty sad. Still, its their money.

Yea, the guy who sent the VOD apparently just trolls people on his team in lower SR while he carries them, nothing really funny/special. I just thought it was funny that one Torb was just too much for an entire team to handle...repeatedly.

I'm stuck in silver at that range and I'm not surprised in the slightest. You never know what kind of game you're heading into.

Some games you get people that absolutely dominate and completely wreck teams, some games you get stuff like that reaper that tried running directly into an ulted Torb turret. Sometimes you get amazing teamwork on your or the other team, sometimes that teamwork just completely isn't there or even falls apart midgame.

I had a game that just did that because no one felt like killing Mercy or Winston in the third round of koth. I can only punt so many people off the map, guys.

e: please, dear god, let me get a team that knows what a mercy is and can aim at it

The best thing is doing a crazy shortcut by wallriding or using it to speed boost to the fight faster and then dropping it when half your team is hurting bad. You just drop out of the sky from some weird rear end spot and BWOOM! Lucio is so fun to play.

I recently started doing comp after ignoring it when I stupidly did my first placements early s3 before I knew poo poo about the game. Ended up low silver. My mechanics have gotten pretty good since then so I've been enjoying wrecking house with 76 even though I'm way better with Mccree. Also since then I decided to get good enough with Hanzo that I can challenge a Pharah and not rely on scatter for deus ex machina all the time.

I'm really going to miss this SR because I get away with really dumb poo poo.

Earlier today an enemy Lucio tried to boop a Pharah (???) off a cliff, so I booped him off instead. He wallrode back but took just long enough for me to launch him off again. I appreciate the weapon changes to Lucio. :allears:

Also something clicked and I was able to not be worthless with Sombra. The trick was to be a huge coward and run away constantly. :v:

I have to seriously fight the urge to do it and I'm honestly surprised there isn't some gameplay mechanic about it maybe scaling off how high you drop off from because it just feels so loving right.

I'm not sure if there is a single person in this context who actually wants to be referred to as "ladies and gentlemen" and doesn't get a cringe/facepalm reaction from it. I mean English isn't my native language so I'm not really sure, but once you do it once per minute it kind of turns into a running joke.

Btw, are there really no Mexican leaks from the anniversary event or something aside from the Xbox loot boxes? It would go live in like 32 hours if it's constructed like all the previous events.
