Playing in high masters/low GM has been a blast for the most part and I've had the pleasure playing against some of the best/most known players. This game stuck out the most to me and decided to make something out of it. Enjoy ~

I'm only a junk main on this account. He's far from the only hero I can play. Just so happens my favorite hero got buffs he needed and it was enough to get me out of masters and into GM. I plan on getting to GM on my other account too.

I didn't intend for this thread to shit on me or the hero. I posted this for views and feedback.

Probably something to do with blizzard and their balance philosophy.

Hey everyone, I've started doing the Youtube stuff again. This video tracks most of my trip from diamond at the start of the season to GM 4 days later. You don't see any of my diamond games as I forgot to record unfortunately. I plan to get back to regularly uploading content again.

Thank you!

Roadhog will be fine. He's got free 300hp every 8 seconds, can still hook people and still does a lot of damage. No, he can't one shot several heroes reliably anymore (excluding right clicking before hooking which you should be doing anyway), but hooking people into your team is effectively the same thing.

I was gonna pick up Winston this season but maybe I shouldn't lol

Sorry for the late bump, but thank you for checking it out!

Dunno how I ended up in plat on this account but I sure as hell am not staying in it again. Enjoy~

This game's first ARG is blowing any of TF2's out of the water.

You will until the next time you have to deal with one.

The best part is Gibraltar's first checkpoint being removed.

On a more serious note, the basically triple jump nerf for genji is annoying but understandable and the amp it up speed nerf for Lucio is really annoying.

Hanzo nerfed with somewhat subtle hitbox nerf, #buffyatta, buffed Dva, Ana being pretty cool; update is great as far as characters go.

You could virtually keep someone asleep the entire game assuming no one shoots the dart target. Imagine trapping a Mercy/Lucio/Zen and everyone on your team agrees to leave you guys alone. Couldn't imagine a quicker rage quit.

Test both Ana and these character changes in PTR.

bumping for the sake of not having a heart attack over ptr

to a placement/rank/elo system in a team-based game that will be mostly played via pubs? Worst case scenario while sqing is I can be amazing but be on a bad team and lose enough games to be put into a rank where I am to play with more teams like this, essentially making it near impossible to get into a rank with teams more comparable to my skill level. I understand grouping up is often a good option as long as your friends aren't shit and want to win, but I'm excluding that situation for the sake of discussing this, because not everyone plays with others.

I need to read again the requirements for ranking up and down, but I feel like rank depends on winning and losing, with individual performance not considered. I might be wrong on that, but if I'm not, it should really be a thing. At least, I feel like it'd help in situations like I mentioned above. If you're gonna solo, for whatever reason you must have, then you should at least have the chance to not be stuck with teams that don't mesh ever.

Off topic question: How does a match turn into bo5? I understand how bo3 happens, but not bo5.

I don't have any time to play this or any game competitively, but I wouldn't mind having friends who would pub with me every now and again. My add is kirbytftv#1854

I mean, I would imagine that his min and max damage are all lowered.

What's the problem with his ult cancel/charge rate?

It turns out, according to a user on the sub, that unless Rein is being healed, it's still possibly to melt him with the flash & FH combo. Which is still fine, for now, because it's the first change and, I imagine, more experimental than not. I'm more excited about actually being able to play Zenyatta and not get one shot from a body shot. With Widowmaker's unnecessarily high ROF, it still might be a bit difficult. On the positive side of this situation, taking a body shot and hiding til your shields recharge, you can still take one more bodyshot without other heals.

I'm training on my off time for a new job and working some other job, so my playtime is very little and can't pug/scrim. If anyone is looking for someone to pub with sometimes, add me @ KirbyTFTV#1854

Genji

Occupation: Adventurer

...Apparently "ninja" is not accurate enough.

I just don't get why developers, especially ones like fucking Blizzard feel the need to put a price tag on classes/heroes. If you're going to put a price tag on the game itself, don't put a price tag on your playable characters. You're limiting your playerbase's ability to understand and work with different and potentially more individually worthwhile play styles by forcing them to either pay or play enough to unlock via in-game currency, when they're already basically good to go with something else. Do they really need the money that badly? I'll vote "definitely not". This type of model is not only a shit (albeit sadly successful more than it's not) model, it really gives me the impression that they foresee the game dying sooner than they'd like and would rather rake in whatever cash they can to make up for it. I'm generally speaking about this model here, not necessarily specifically paying/grinding for different classes to play with.

I just started playing Dirty Bomb, and while I love it, I hate either being forced to use a very limited amount of classes simply because I refuse to pay for something that should be free already or because I haven't saved up enough in-game earned credits. It's a stupid as shit business model and I don't understand why it works. I stand fully behind Valve's model as far as TF2 goes. While I don't understand why people care so much as to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to own an unusual, or go through so much trouble and possibly money to have a fucking festive australium stattrak blackbox, I guess other than to stand out in some way or another, it's clearly indicative that people will and do care about this type of business model and are more than happy to pay for the shit they get in return.

Only now have I realized how unnecessarily long this post is, so I'm ending it here. I've had too much to drink, but not enough to get even more angry over shit business models that still somehow fucking work. I'm also not turning back on this post because fuck it.

I'm getting ahead of myself, but is there any news on a decent way of editing the game?
