That’s actually not true if you pay attention. Most of the straight up Hanzo one tricks I come across in lower ranks are high ranks on alt accounts. I’ve played so much Hanzo I can usually tell the difference and I’ll flat out ask. It’s common enough to hear people say “Hanzo carry team.” It’s the metahounds…

What? Who do you need to switch to work with Hanzo? His ult works well for combining with Zarya’s, Mei’s, and Reinhardt’s. You can use his ult to zone the enemy team into any other ult, like McCree’s, Soldier 76's, or Pharah’s. He clears choke points. He’s midrange, he’s not a sniper or a flanker so he will be…

That’s the good thing about them imo. Temporary gratification that gives me a warm fuzzy for playing the game but doesn’t make enough of a dent to *make* me play the game. That’s the way gaming should be. I own the game, the game doesn’t own me.

Ah, I missed that. No way to know for sure but...there’s that.

I dunno about wired, I mean they got married and apparently the husband didn’t cheat. They addressed the problem like mature adults which added variety and it still didn’t work. No idea what’s going on there but it’s not about being wired for polyamory vs monogamy. I think Doc Nerdlove is right in that it’s the…

Yeah, it’s so frustrating when people who don’t know what they’re talking about decide to micro-manage a match and worse, hinder your performance because they really really don’t know what they’re doing and it’s really all about their own egos. I hate those types of teammates so much. I hope a year or two down the…

I dunno, I feel like anyone who has played multiplayer games with large teen populations should be aware of this sort of thing before starting streaming. I’m the least nurturing woman on the planet but I have teen boys glom on to me like whoa, simply because I’m a woman and in their mind I was put on this earth to be…

I think too much emphasis was placed on graphics, personally. As you say, Mass Effect, and Oblivion too, were pretty great on graphics. But then everyone focused on stupid stuff, “omg hair!” and “omg water” and a lot of games focused on that rather than bugs or story. Gamers seem so preoccupied with it to this day…

The problem with metahounds is they don’t keep up with the meta strats that are always changing. Torbjorn on Hanamura attack was a legit strat in s3, albeit not used very often and only in high ranks. The turret at an angle provided cover for your team to go inside the room on the right. It won’t work in s4 due to…

NooOOoooo!

Salt makes me play badly, he takes a lot of focus. But I’ve been considering it, I see a lot of good Hanzos in comp and I get so envious. I should practice with him a bit more first. Thanks for the reply though, I like it!

It’s an endless circle of grief: I don’t play Hanzo in comp due to the salt and toxicity. I love playing Hanzo, so I play Hanzo in quick play. People trying to practice roles for comp feel salty because are faced with a team of Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Sombra, which you’ll never come across in comp. Because of the…

I’m sorry but this guy seems like the biggest myopic idiot on the planet. Taking a stand...hah. Company decided they had a different aesthetic taste than his for a situation in game, this is not a situation in which “taking a stand” is called for. Like, did this guy go directly from the womb to this job or what?

Aw, sorry to hear it. The WOW lore youtubers have my utmost respect for what they do.

NP. But also, to sort of add on to Shabeeb Kamal’s reply to you: pro-gaming has a way bigger profile in South Korea than it does in the U.S.. I don’t think pro-gamrs are quite near K-pop stars but say, for comparison, a pro-gamer won’t be on an american teenage girl’s radar, but will be on a teenage girl’s in Korea.

These are Korean pro teams. They have stricter rules for behaviors.

Agreed.

Good.

I am not one to be all “think of the children!” but after months of playing OW I’ve concluded that competitive multiplayer games are no place for children and that’s even without considering the chat. I’ve come across so many kids in OW that do not have the temperament to handle the stress and end up shutting down…

You’re talking problems that Mercys have to face that can be easily handled by the team. Need ult charge? Tanks can peak and take a few bullets, no problem. Otherwise, damage boost, hello.
