Mystery Heroes owns, this dumb new tank balance in other modes just leans MH even harder into being a ridiculous Overwatch slot machine.

I think the other team had two hogs and two Winstons and a healer but I can't confirm because we were constantly getting rolled by them lol

Yeah there were issues the first day and a half and two nights this week during ~prime time~ (for NA) where there was server maintenance. But still for most of the time it's been good. I managed to play a few hours a day all week without issue, but obviously it depends on when you try to play.

Well it definitely felt like work on the last 2, but I did all the weeklies. Got to level 27. I won't do that every week.

yeah the lure of soaking up ult charge is strong, but I think its better to cover the back line in a completely protected position.

I disagree. Every wow expansion I've played since like, mists has been smooth. And I played wod, legion, bfa and shadow lands at launch.

D3 was the worst up until now. This game had a ton of problems with queues and disconnects and login errors. The last 48 hours have been good up until now.

Friend of mine in a comp game has his full roster while someone else in the match didn't. The bug is just sprinkled about to ruin some, but not all, days.

I had it in a QP role queue when I went to go see if it was back or not just a short while ago. Not playing until it's at least figured out, if not just patched again.

Man, I was wondering why so many games had Lucios and especially Lucio/Moira combos. Those games were also super one-sided. It's because so many folks are getting hit with that locked character bug. That's gotta be super frustrating

Any idea what your playtime was? I just hit 30 but haven't even bothered looking at the missions or anything, just playing randomly with friends in QP and comp.

That means your personal MMR vs other tanks at your level is not improving. OW takes personal performance into account for the amount of points each win/loss gives you.

Yeah I think you're just not connecting to whatever server checks if you have the heroes unlocked, it keeps happening after everyone starts logging in after a patch.

Kind of yes. I wish they had just made the loot boxes non-purchasable and added a battlepass for unique new cosmetics. Would have been perfect.

It's pretty astounding how much worse the new unlock system is. At least with lootboxes you gradually amassed currency at a decent rate and were always actually earning things.

Have to admit, it's impressive to make a system so bad that I miss lootboxes. :v:

Sorry, no idea. Probably less than 20 hours considering 3 nights were just server issues and I can only play dad hours.

No, just really lovely rich dudes being lovely rich dudes. By all accounts, the OW dev team tried to distance themselves from the greater Blizzard culture that was so awful and protect its team better. But the big tent pole decisions like releasing this game without pve and the predatory monetization and stuff comes from the shitballs at the top.

Does Tracer's dodge ability negate Cassidy's sticky bomb? I dunno if it was server problems or what, but I stuck them a few times but nothing happened when they exploded.

Also they need to put the cooldowns on Zarya's shields on the crosshair. Having at the bottom of the screen to check is counter-intuitive.

Do you think Diablo Immortal makes a ton of money because everyone who plays it is spending 20 or 50 bucks or whatever or buying battle pass equivalents? Naw, it's like the .1% of the player base dropping 10 or 15 G's all at once.

It's an industry wide thing, so I guess analytics have been done many many times and affirmed that pricing things reasonably and targeting the average player makes less money than extremely poo poo pricing targeting whales and gambling addicts.

You can also hold S when you hit jump and you will bounce back away from the GA target, which is handy if you're zooming to someone who's in danger and you don't want to go flying past or above them directly into the fray.
