It was more when they started introducing items that changed the basic class mechanics. Demo's that can run faster than scouts and heal off metal? What?! Heavies that can move silently? Spy cloaks that make you invulnerable while cloaked? The power creep got ridiculous, and the demographic ate it up.

I'm also super glad its limited to 6v6 and its not just huge spam fests. You have to pay attention in this game, and hopefully it keeps the casuals out. (Who am I kidding I'm a casual, but you know what I mean).

Its really just like one or two guys who think Destiny is really loving cool and can't stop posting about it. I think the major Forbes editors just don't give a gently caress and figured if it gets them some more web traffic from teenagers or whatever then there's no reason not to.

I'm so sick of being killed by kids who are level 50 on release date because they don't have day jobs and have unlocked a bunch of guns you can't even use and then use them to lord over you and make it harder to gain those levels and unlock the same guns. Its just not really that great of a system for competitive shooters.

most of the orange drops in borderlands dropped much more frequently off of specific named mobs, making the 1/20k thing a little misleading

I still think that the basic leveling experience in bl2 was seriously very good, and playing krieg removed a lot of the problems the game had up to that point. The endgame is pointless and stupid but that's ok, playing a new character is more fun. Farming a boss for loot? Who cares, start a new character. I think I capped 3 kriegs out to max level.

ofc playing krieg mostly removes the game's gunplay so that defeats a lot of the point of the game

The boxed Origins edition came with an actual game DVD, a free Jaina hero in HOTS, free Hearthstone cards, an SCII trial, a WoW trial, and a Blizzard sticky notepad.

Good news friend. Blizzard removed "aiming" from most characters. Overwatch is post-aim gaming

What are some awesome spots for Tolberones turrets? I know the moving environnents are good, any other primo tips? I like getting a boost from Mei at Temple Cap B. Got the chopper skin for him, so need to know this stuff.

I landed a Zarya ult on an entire team last night, then Hanzo ulted and finished them all off. POTG went to the torbjorn hammering on a turret in the corner since the turret got the first 3 actual killshots.

So this game is right fun. First every game went 10-kill streak, got a quadrakill with D.Va's mech bomb, and got play of the game.

How the hell do I Genji though? His sword swipe/dash does so little damage. My first thought was that I should just soften people up with the stars then dash in. But whenever I do that I'm just a sitting duck because my sword slash has like an 8 second cooldown. So am I just supposed to run up onto vertical terrain and throw stars forever?

Also, what are the points besides the skins? 75/250/1000 obviously relate to cost or quality, but it didn't look like I get points (Like you get IP in LoL or whatever) for match wins. Does that stuff come exclusively from Loot Boxes?

Tequila Sunrise posted:

Is there/will there be a list of goons (or clans or whatever this game has) for each system? I'm playing on PS4, name is Deadshanks, goons feel free to add me. I'm in Japan though so I'll only be on super late Western time.

Tequila Sunrise posted:

I'll start my own clan, man.

Brosnan posted:

It does not, sadly. But he is better at jumping around like a retard, which makes it easier to smack people with. (Really though, your bread-and-butter damage comes from throwing ninja stars at people's heads until you can seal the kill.)
