No B-wing, literally unplayable

eSports were around before twitch, but was mostly contained to small events outside of Korea. The release of Starcraft 2 coincided with the rise of Twitch, and since then eSports, streaming and twitch have just been linked.

I would say just as much had to do with the fact that due to issues on YouTube’s side, it took far, far too long for them to implement drops that would allow viewers to buy team skins. 

I always go straight for the sphere thingy shield generators on the Star Destroyers. 

Yeah, if teams are struggling to adapt to a different set of banned heroes each week, I’m rather unsure of how having to adapt to a different set of banned heroes each match instead would be an improvement.

àgreed.  squeeky wheel and all that :(

Agreed, too many people are bitter and whiney about games. The amount of time I’ve gotten out of Overwatch more than makes up for the investment. I’ve been gaming a long, long time....longer than most of the Overwatch community; and I can easily say it’s one of the best team based FPS games ever made.
Of course people…

I quite enjoyed hero pools in OWL. It was utterly hilarious to watch some teams (usually the lower tier ones) look like bronze players with one character removed from their usual comp.

Yeah, anybody who complained about role queue should be forced to play healers without role queue. Have fun getting blamed for every loss when 4 players picked snipers and couldn’t be paid to stand behind a shield or take the point.

I strongly disagree. Match quality has never been better since Role Queue was added. And if you disagree, look forward to open queue coming back as a secondary option.

Stephen, thank you. You have stayed in this job, despite what has happened around you, and this message is appropriate use of your platform. We support you in supporting this.

Wow, this is very nice to see on Kotaku Stephen. I love this bit the most and The Root really hammers this home:

I don’t post too often, but definitely had to come down here and say thank you for posting about this.

Before anyone screeches out that ALL LIVES MATTER, I’ll simply point out that it’s not about all lives. It’s about Black Lives that have yet to have any degree of equality to white people. When was the last time a white person, pulled over for a routine traffic stop felt that this was the night they might die? Until a…

Agreed 100%.

There cannot be peace for all until there is first justice for all. Thank you.

Good on you for posting this knowing well there will be lots of people screeching about “I come to Kotaku for games journalism, not social justice”.  Everyone needs to pay attention, all ages, all races, all religions.  Only when people are paying attention will they actually comprehend what is going on around them.
