Not gonna lie lads, before this game came out I was in a pretty bad way. I was a pretty lonely guy. (I'm a 29 year old virgin and had a HUGE chip on my ahoulder about it, and sex/women in general.) I never dated, stayed in most nights, and was really starting to get cynical about love and whatnot. I was reading red pill subreddits on the daily, and becoming pretty bitter when it came to the concept of love and companionship. "True companionship is not real, its a media creation", "Women will just take your money and leave you", "Love is just an emotional reaction to chemicals, like chocolate. Find a new bar" etc. etc. But when I first popped in Overwatch to my Xbone, EVERYTHING changed.

Tracer, for all intensive purposes, healed my soul. I had been out in the cold for a long, long time when it came to love. But then this girl, this woman appeared before my eyes. She was gentle and sweet, with an adorablely chipper attitude and accent, and I melted like butter. She showed me that true love is possible. A lot of healing began that day, and by the end I sat in front of my 50' tv in my mancave, balling my eyes out. I will forever be indebted to Blizzard for showing me that true love WAS still possible. And I will always praise this game because of that, opinions be damned. This game is special to me. Not for it's fun factor (which is enormous), but because it truly made me want to live again.

I hated Tracer and her stupid fail accent for a long time until I killed a Reaper as her, and she made fun of his Uber EdgeLordy-ness, and now, I'm in love with her as well. Cheers fellow TracerBro.

I was playing this a few minutes ago and "Tracer, for all intensive purposes, healed my soul" was going through my head the entire time. Le most pure Winsauce.

why would someone play an fps on a console?

Some people have things called Friends that they like to chill with on the couch and just shoot the poo poo and game like bau5es. Crack open a cold beer and pass the controller around to your friends, you know. Oh wait... You wouldn't since your too busy looking up the prices of what GPU you have to buy every 2 weeks on arstechnica.

Anyone up for some puff puff pass n' play O-Watch? (Smoke big time weed for a few hours whilst playing some ranked Overwatch on Xbox Uno baby... Talking about blowing big clouds and passing blunts around left and right, discussing the lore, running some characters to see whom has special dialogue with whom, maybe put on an impromptu Weed-Fueled 420 ArtJam and express our love of the game with some fan art, just have a hell of a time. Hit me up on the Uno at gamer tag xGreenLeafs91.)

I think they got the wrong idea about making her better at healing, frankly. The reason people don't heal a lot as her is at least half because of how good at combat she is and it's easier to use her sleep as a better mccree flashbang and the heal grenade for saving yourself instead of the team while you play like a selfish sniper rear end in a top hat building the ultimant. Making her weapon better is just gonna make that worse probably. The other characters it's hard to play wrong in a way that's as detrimental as playing Ana wrong.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Cuz it's not like Lucio or Zenyatta where your ability to fight doesn't interfere with your ability to support, or Mercy where you have no way to stay alive in a fight unless you're keeping your team alive. But Ana it's often too good to save a 5 second flashbang at any range or a grenade that gives you all your own HP back and makes you a tank for 2 seconds when you could be using it on your team instead, IMO.

If you can't aim at jumping people just keep playing Ana until you get ranked in the 30s or whatever where no one even knows there's a jump button and they're all playing on Xbox controllers. Then it'll be smooth sailing my man. lmfao

I find it fairly easy to bait the hook out of roadhog though I still get got sometimes cuz it's a sweet hook. I like playing the hog but I think he's not that good right now...

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Hog kind of has to rely on either being insanely good or just really lucky to hit a tracer so I usually take the odds unless they keep taking me down, since you shred his gigantic headbox.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009


I'm deece at him I just think right now DVa is usually a better pick and you almost always have a reinhart. Though Roadhog might be better than Reinhart on KOTH maps.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Wish at least on quickplay you could join like playlist things where you only get KOTH or payload or whatever. KOTH is win.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Still think Zarya or D.va are better picks most of the time. He's good still but not on as many maps as he used to since they made Dva more usable, imo...

hog counters virtually everything and if you miss with the hook you probably have a brain disease because it's such a bullshit hitbox lol

even the classes that counter him (pharrah, snipers, etc.) die in one hit to that stupid thing and every other tank can't fight him 1v1

I think the hook is kinda like Bastion where at first people weren't sure how to handle it so they thought it was broken and as you play more you get more of a sense of dealing with it. It's still bizarre the kinds of things that get hooked sometimes which might be up to the netcode or whatever too but I don't feel like it's that crazy.

"If you hit it just right" is a bigger ask than your making it sound though since it's a projectile and has an extremely specific range...

You can be a complete badass as hog IMO... Give him another shot. Maybe you build the ults but so does any tank, but Hog can hook people out of ults.

My hook accuracy is like 42 as well I think but you can't talk poo poo about people missing hooks if you ain't above average at it yourself... It's just gamer etiquette.

Hell the whole point of being a tank in the game is people have to hit you or else the whole team is going to get hosed up really soon. Maybe you weren't in the right mentality when you played him.

The people who got into TF2 got epically into it. I've seen people in like the new competitive matchmaking thing they have saying that if you don't have at least 1.5K hours in TF2 you should be shot in the head if you try to do the competitive matchmaking lmao.

Frankly I think if you didn't get good enough to do something in 100 hours of playing a game the next 1400 isn't going to change how you play even close to as significantly.

I thought the eSports side of tf2 was crazy. There's no one more obnoxious about their game than a Competitive TF2 Player no matter what their skill level but the actual eSports of the game was so tiny and obscure even compared to a dead game like Quake lmao.

Well there's always room for improvement but the rate you improve approaches a steep plateau unless you make practicing the game your full time job. But yea.

Wormskull

Or it curves sharply to a plateau or however you say it. Most people can't commit to being epic at poo poo so they plateau in 50 hours and just play thousands more essentially as well as they ever will... Lol
