Many of the games DID require user interaction before playing audio, and still broke, due to the botched way Google implemented the change.

The mapping options do apply in-game. The Switch controller is essentially treated as an XBox controller by games, and you have the choice for the buttons to either match their labels (Nintendo A functions as XBox A) or physical positions (Nintendo A functions as XBox B). It’s pretty seamless.

The problem with Symmetra is that the automated nature of her abilities prevents her from scaling properly with player skill. It’s a pretty simple principle— if you give a character a turret that’s effective enough to threaten top-level players, then that turret will absolutely wreak havoc on average or weaker…

Houston’s definitely the easier team to fix; their tankline is great, Linkzr’s a top-level DPS, and the supports get the job done. But they’re really hurting for that one hero to cover the Tracer slot that Linkzr doesn’t have in his repertoire.

However, it’s not a good idea to pretend there’s nothing else for them to…

It was embarrassing the way the broadcasters gave him a hero’s welcome when he returned from his first suspension, as though he’d been out sick instead of benched for homophobic remarks. And even that wasn’t enough for him, he still picked fights with the casters.

There have been lots of signings, but so far very few instances of players leaving.

Finally I can pick Zen or Moira without getting yelled at for not being Mercy

Pretty clear distinction here between two very different kinds of trash-talk.

Muma turned xQC’s line around on him, which was cocky but not cruel, and well within the realm of good-natured ribbing. A little braggadocio can be fun if you’ve earned it.

“It also sucks for the pro players who main supports, because they’ve had to spend the past three months learning the Valkyrie version of Mercy—only to learn that she’s about to change yet again.”

this is deeply messed up and if that trailer didn’t disgust you then please search your soul

But stream detectives later pointed out that Lengyel might have had some reason behind his report; it was a player from a previous game that had refused to switch off a character, even when they were repeatedly dying.

I don’t think I’m feeling this one but literally anything is better than shipping Moira with Reaper

The bandwagon of “naming your team a singular noun to sound unique” backfired spectacularly here. The Dragons and Outlaws got it right. The correct way to name a sports team is either a wild animal/creature (plural) or an adventurous character (plural).

That’s great news for fans of the “Battle Mercy” style of play, but it’s too bad for any Overwatch healer who doesn’t like Mercy or her new battle-friendly makeover.

Since, launch Pharah has constantly yelled at the top of her lungs about her Egyptian heritage, while her apparent first-nations parentage is still being coyly treated as an easter egg secret. Kind of makes you think one of those was originally planned and one was a hasty retcon, huh.

This taps into another issue, though: if you tally up every trans-LIKE character who appears in a game, versus characters explicitly described as trans, you’ll probably end up with far, far more of the first kind. It’s kind of embarassing how many games like Persona and Ace Attorney will have a character who’s been in…

Here are my biggest grievances with fanservice:
