My apologies, I didn’t mean to direct my rant at you specifically. I just get angry when I see a journalist getting ganged up on by people who don’t realize that the very fact of selecting something to write an article about makes a complete farce of the idea that journalism can be in any way objective.

You guys have no clue what journalism is. It is not, and never was, a list of facts devoid of opinions. Maybe you would like it to be that, in which case you need to take some philosophy classes to understand how completely impossible that would be anyway. But it’s not, never was, and your little pedantic rants after

If I see a guy miss a penalty in soccer and check his cleats, poke the ground, pick up some grass and stare balefully at it, I don’t need a huge press conference to know he’s blaming the turf for his miss. Same thing here.

Hey, do you know HearthArena? Not sure if I can link stuff here, but just add dot com or google it. I used to be like you in Arena, now I always draft my decks using their suggestions. It not only makes better decks than I ever managed on my own, but it actually tries to draft to a deck archetype and explains how to

Yeah, cause you couldn’t tell this was opinion from the title? “Let’s talk about Lucio’s new skin which is bad”? You knew it was opinion, you clicked on it, and you came here to give us your opinion that what you really want is news.

My sentence wasn’t clear. I totally agree they’re not as good as humans (I’m a professional translator myself). What I’m saying is that machine learning is a very similar process to how humans come to know what word to use where, and it’s a very powerful technique. It is not “linear logic”. A machine learning

You’re right that the point where a robot translator is better than a human translator for literature is pretty much the point of full A.I. But with machine learning, they already translate very much like humans do. We know as humans that in such a context, this word is always used, and that’s something computers can

If you absolutely need to have every skin from every event, then pay up and stop complaining. It’s free to get a couple of cool skins every event just from playing and pretty cheap to get most of them by buying a few crates and playing. But why do you deserve to get *all* the cool skins for every event?

Exactly! I don’t get why people complain about having to play meta decks. I basically have fun making new decks every expansion with mostly class cards and nary a legendary. Of course I don’t make legend! I get to around 14 or 15, winning about half my games. The problem is that people just want to keep climbing

The problem with most esports compared to regular sports is the lack of a “ball” of some kind. A ball creates an easy focus for the spectator, saying: here is where the most important action will take place. But in a typical Overwatch match, there’s a Pharmercy battle going on in the sky, a Reinhardt shield battle

I wished you’d asked the most important question to your Hanzo mains: “Do you ever pick him when somebody’s already picked Widowmaker?”

No, you pay the least (0 accidents), your neighbour pays higher premiums (3 accidents), and your boss pays the most (5 accidents). Your neighbour might complain that he’s just been unlucky, but we all save so much money on lawyers that it’s by far a better system.

Doesn’t the match-making pit you against people of your level? If you win, you go up, you lose, you go down... So isn’t everyone’s win rate around 50%? Why are you facing a bunch of guys with 300$ decks, unless you’re beating them half the time?

I just watched Apex season 2 and it was great fun, but I don’t understand why they stick to the first-person view of a single player at a time. The directors are really good at switching to the relevant player quickly, but you’re still regularly watching a Genji pick off a support while his team is losing the team

Seriously, have you ever worked for a bad company? When I write EA support and the customer support team responds with a random link unrelated to my e-mail, I don’t think: wow, what an idiot. I think: wow, I guess his bosses told him he had to respond to 80 customer complaints in an hour.

No, it’s not a “him” issue. He’s pointing out the huge flaw in the proposed solution. You give an option to players to not have fun in exchange for more power and they’ll usually take it. Players not having fun is an “everyone” issue.

Have you tried Mystery Heroes? That’s what I mostly play because I enjoy playing all the heroes, even though I’m terrible at a lot of them with my bad aim and slow reflexes. Everybody gets a random hero assigned, so you just play whatever hero you get until you die, when you get a new one. Nobody can blame you picking

Overwatch is my first FPS and I love it, but I’m curious: do other FPS games have the same variety of heroes that play completely differently and have a unique role to play?

I’m curious, can you actually tell someone who is using mouse / keyboard from someone who’s just better than you? I’m sure there are a bunch, but you seem to imply that you can tell the difference, and I can’t see how.

It wasn’t a highlight reel, he was telling a story. The editing was great, you just wanted a different kind of video.
