I really wonder what it would have looked like if Project Titan hadn't been scrapped. Would the 21 characters be used as an array of legendary NPCs, like the cast of Warcraft? Can you imagine turning quests in to these people?

Yeah at first I was annoyed by the weird choices for POTG, but then I remembered that it's some algorithm picking them and not a person and embraced the wackiness. Now I wish it was even a little MORE open to random picks.

I just pooped all over a streamer. People pay that guy money. Should I be streaming to let people pay me to poop on people with rockets

Maybe it's different with Overwatch, but in my experience being good at a game and being a popular streamer are not really related.

I dislike both racism and bad sportsmanship. I hope this isn't too controversial.

No, it obviously isn't. I agree that good sportsmanship is a good rule to follow as I follow it when I play. The worst I'll do after an easy stomp match is say like "heh, that was easy" to my bros in my party voice chat.

I also can't help but feel like if someone on an opposite team says "easy" after a match, and it rates more than a sarcastic eye-roll from me, then I might be a huge pussy.

I hear you, man. Looking like a pussy in front of your bros is the worst.

I always strive to use the most precise language to inform just how owned the opposing team has been. Every GG is rated from "2 EZ" to "close 1"

if it's meaningless then why are you upset about it? honest question, has no one ever had to deal with just reg-rear end trash talk in their lives before? what activities do you engage in where there is competition and absolutely nobody ever says anything even remotely funny, sarcastic, or even in "bad manners"? if you don't like trash talk that's fine but I have never played any game, sports or e-sports or otherwise, where everyone just arrived to play, played the game in relative silence, talked about their wives or the weather, and then just left afterward

It's fun to hang out with friends and have fun.

no offense but if you have ever actually played a sport in real life you're be pretty inured at this point to people calling your skills into question, telling you that you're bad, or generally questioning why you thought you could play (with them?)

Woah. I don't think your friends like you very much.

I'd like to see a Brawl that is all tracer 50% c/d time on shift, no E move.

Just 12 people zipping around like mad taking pot shots at one another.

Kinda reminds me of playing TF2 with only baseball bat scouts. poo poo was the best.

Maybe it's the nature of internet communication, but what you described reads less like a joke and more like a dedicated put-down campaign.

"dedicated putdown campaign" made me laugh out loud

yes, when my friend whiffs an easy Widowmaker shot on his PotG cam and we all make fun of him for it, it's systematic and organized bullying

Seeing the signs is the first step. Good luck on your journey of recovery.

Jesus Christ, why are Overwatch players always so loving horny?

Last night during placement matches, I saw a Mercy spray a wall then sit in front of it until a McCree player "acknowledged" her. At that point she got up and healed only him the entire match. I spent the match with no heals and the suspicion that a couple of the players were whacking off during the game.

Yo I forget. When I solo queue for Quick Play or Competitive Play, do I end up with a bunch of other solo queuers or am I setting myself up to get stomped by a 5-stack?

How the gently caress do you play Sombra? So far I'm playing her as a worse Tracer. I can't quite seem to get the flow of attacking and fleeing.
