What's a comp border, exactly?

i think he was looking at the level border. everyone gets a border around their portrait based on level, comp stuff only shows up in comp (your ranking emblem) or in like, a spray.

(Speaking of comp, I was the only bronze in my all-silver team just now, balanced by an all-silver team with a platinum member. Not sure how that works.)

you could try and logic it out by saying maybe the game is trying to figure out where your actual skill level is by placing you in a game above your visual rank, to see if you do well enough to rank up

but its easier to just say it probably doesn't actually work and it's just fuckin' random

It's why the hypothetical Junkrat change they're working on where he gets a second concussion mine is a step in the right direction, because if they do it right it won't so much be a straight numbers buff as a way for skilled players to gain more mobility which is one of Junkrat's primary weaknesses, how easy it is to dunk on him with impunity at ranges where the best he can hope for is to spam M1 and hope you're dumb enough to walk into the cricket balls.

man i've watched too much Chro and all i can think of is how hilariously mobile junkrat can be if you play him right, even with just one conc mine, but then i remember the average junkrat player and i get sad

chro with two mines is going to be a loving monster. :brrring:

That's it? God, Kapaln has awful taste if he thinks that's her best one yet.

That skin looks in the same brand as her Valkyrie skins except it actually looks good and not total trash

i'll judge it based on how the wings look. i like Sigrun the best right now cause the wings are big and shiny white and they look the prettiest.

i also like sigrun cause i have the hair to potentially pull it off as cosplay if i ever actually wanted to do that.

By comparison to 90s Blizzard RTS games, most games don't.

back in my day we played Dune II where you could only select ONE unit at a time :bahgawd:

doesn't the background change based on which map it is? like its blurry but you can still tell if you're on well vs ruins or w/e

when I noticed they'd removed the name, I tried using that to predict where we were going but unfortunately the background while you load in has nothing to do with which map you're gonna play in koth

that's lame. i know it used to, but i think i started noticing it being sometimes random when Oasis came out.
