Considering how lucrative the IP’s have been, lots of businesses would love to buy Blizz if the price was right.  The thinking often is that once a business changes hands, customers will assume any of the legacy problems with the old company will get addressed and taken care of.  “Now under new management!” can be a…

Fuck, they’re onto me!

Throw the book at him, it’s over due (sorry, librarian joke...)

Reports of the demise of The Chicago Bear defense were greatly exaggerated. Also Ja’Marr Chase is showing that he is going to be a force, the shame of it is his QB may not live long enough to get him the ball. The Raiders could be good, Sam Darnold is laughing his ass off, The western divisions in The NFL could be a…

The kids can figure it out, however Kinja as usual will fail for some reason and it won’t work for them. 

we have character limits, yes

He should probably just say “Plunkett” and try something else.

That is plunked up. But typical of motherplunken EA. Plunk those guys.

yep this.  It’s the toxic players that are crying the most.  The ones that get off on beating newbies into the ground.  now they are actually going to have to play against people as good as they are.

Yep. The whole concept of “I don’t want to fight against someone my level because it takes more effort so SBMM is bad.” is the dumbest most self-serving argument these people make. Like I give a shit. I’m not great. I used to play competitive games a lot more and these days I don’t, I’m old and rusty and the last…

I know it’s not the same situation but to me this reminds me of streamers who go into Warzone or Valorant or whatever with a ‘god squad’ and talk shit to or about players they run into and kill but will whine about “sweaty kids” when they lose an engagement or match. Fortnite was the worst with 20-30 year olds who…

I’ve argued this point of ages as well and the amount of animosity it brings out of people. I got blocked by some butt-hurt dude today because I asked him why he was so angry at me for not wanting to have my ass handed to me every match by people I can’t compete with.

‘the game is only fun for me if I can tell myself I’m making it not fun for someone else’.

The core real complaint is that SBMM makes it so that good people have to sweat every match. If you’re at a certain skill level in the game then any reasonable amount of SBMM means you’re gonna face 360 noscope gods almost every match.

Now, I’d argue 2 things against that. 1) Trials is the pinnacle end-game of PvP, so…

To me this sounds like a lot of streamers are mad that they will have to find a normal job.

If matchmaking is doing it’s job, 50% is what you should expect, I would think. 

I’m sure I’m being uncharitable, but it’s hard for me to read ‘I’m a high skill player who hates the idea of skill-based matchmaking’ as anything other than ‘the game is only fun for me if I can tell myself I’m making it not fun for someone else’.

Lizzo as the bodyguard and I’m in.
