I have a real problem with the sheer amount of hero abilities that boil down to different shades of a spherical smokescreen, a wall, or a hazardous spill. Like it all boils down to area denial, visibility denial, or both. It’s a big bummer that instead of enabling more gameplay opportunities most abilities focus on…

Epic spoiled them lmao.

What’s the point of that?

Build Zip-Lines. A well thought-out Zip-Line network can trivialize any and all terrain hazards in the game. You have the tools to make it easy for yourself. 

4 awards! Including best RPG against Kingdom Hearts 3, FF 14 and Outer Worlds. I’m so happy for that studio. They may not have gotten nominated for GOTY like they deserved, but they sure as hell got every next-best thing.

Sucks to be you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

This looks like... Nothing. What did I just watch? The most soulless hack and slash rehash with way too many of the “slash”? If I had to describe this trailer to someone it would be impossible to tell which game I’m talking about. I’m disappointed. Whatever this ends up being, so far it has zero personality.

It’s not gonna be terribly hard to keep all the money he made out of that surge in subs. Dude is probably sitting pretty for the foreseeable future.

Agreed.

They could take tips from literally any other strip in this feature? Awkward Zombie and Double-XP say hello.

What it has to be is something beyond pointless. None of the strips ever add anything to the conversation, they just... Explain gamer culture very plainly? Do they realize their audience is gamers?

Oh thank god he didn’t grow up to be a Trump supporter or anything like that. That’s the sort of dark twist I expect out of anything in 2019. Nothing is sacred anymore.

no but what is actually going on here ಠ_ಠ

He also says "Hold it together" backwards at around 1:36 

Probably the best Origin Story trailer they have released to date. Phenomenal way to use editing to get us into his headspace. 

Did you watch the trailer? The dude is unhinged, actually insane. It seemed pretty obvious to me that the absurdity of that phrase is meant to shine a light on that (in case all the other madness going on didn't drive the point home).

This is not the first time we have had a change like this. The exact same flexibility argument was trot out as early as 3 years ago back when, months after the game originally released, they got rid of the choice of multiple people in the same team picking the same hero. Every permutation of this argument, of these…

The only flexibility that’s being taken away is the freedom to go rogue and throw the entire composition of your team in flux for the satisfaction of “taking matters into your own hands” on a match-per-match basis. I think they should implement a system in which, if both players agree, they could switch roles…

There is no one hero that is the perfect definition of a role for every situation. None.

In that scenario, you explain your rationale and ask your DPS to switch to Torb. Communicate. Work with your team, or at least, try to. Now that you wont be able to say “fuck it, I’ll do it myself,” everybody is gonna have to learn how to rely on their teammates to perform their role accordingly. The transition…
