    uh Catan and Dominion are punishingly complex for people who haven't played a game other than Monopoly. There's a lot of "easy" games like Sushi Go that probably fit the bill. My favorite genre is hidden role/social deduction and I love introducing people to it as they are completely taken...

    1. do you know or want to know linux? if so you can very easily get a webserver up on a vps for $5 a month. 2. dont bother unless you get thousands of hits but day but you want google adsense most likely.

    Reaper is going to be a monster. His biggest problem now is that wraith is just not good enough for him to be effective on the flank. Now thats not true at all. Hog, Winston, Orisa players are not going to love this meta thats for sure. Whether or not Rein becomes more popular we'll have to see.

    I don't think she's that bad but there's tons of times where you just feel helpless as you're stuck next to that purple deathball. I'd probably make its "sticky" range a bit smaller and thats fine.

    Don't see the Mei buff as that big tbh, how often are enemies right on top of each other in that way? I first read it as her right click pierces which would have been uh nice to say the least..

    They are in an impossible position regarding their ELO system. Almost certainly they have a ton of very talented statisticians and math guys pouring over what they can do to make it better and the obvious answer is this the best they can do. Comp is the only real mode. There's some "realness"...

    Honestly at this point expecting Alpha Emily to wake up and drop a bombshell. Alpha Howard is not as simplistic as he seems or something. That has been more or less implied by us being told a few times that people's others are not that different.

    Comps the only fun mode for me really. I'd play to win as a team than just pick whatever character. Of course I don't mind playing tank, healer, or dps, all of which are fun or maybe have fun heroes in all 3 roles. YMMV of course.

    Sombra changes aren't as bad as they could be, if you are holding right click but not starting a hack and take damage, it doesn't go on CD. Still not super happy about nerfing a character that I really like that barely saw played even after her recent buffs.

    After playing with Overtrack for a bit (1 week free trial, but don't see a reason to pay for it. Does anyone get value from it?) all I can say is SR gains and losses seems to be completely pulled out of their butt.

    I get "frustrated" at the matchmaking so to speak specifically when we get rolled on 2 CP maps. I'd assume its just that the "dps" players don't know how to play defend dps. What's a genji gonna do on defense hanamura? And of course they don't have a backup hero. To me ~90% of the "no...

    man I know he's "off meta" and all that but in this game is there anything more satisfying than just swinging your dick (or um labia?) around as Reinhardt and destroying people? With a decent support crew he's just a wrecking ball. I love it. DVA meta means meaty earthshatter so so much.

    What I love about this game is I feel like its a 12 player puzzle that if you concentrate hard on you can begin to see how it fits together and why you win or why you lose. But definitely communication and anti-toxicity is the big key.

    No idea how oversumo works but would assume general stats divided by number of deaths (not eliminations)/minute. I'm sure its not terribly useful. Its easy to see who's your weakness imo if you pay close attention to the killfeed. Specifically people on your team who get killed not as a...

    I'm irrationally irritated to see Baldwin wake up from ONS, grab her crap and immediately leave without getting her gun from under the bed, and then even come back for snuggles without even a "feel to see if gun is there" shot. Its either a horrendous production error or crappy story telling.

    Lmao wtf is this? An excuse for, you know, managing your staff? Some dipshit is spending all of their time not working? Fire them. Blocking sites won't make them work harder, they'll always find other ways of wasting time. Instead, hire people who aren't terrible. This is a flat out awful...

    all of the characters are fun in different ways really. The objectively unfun characters (bastion, torb, sym basically) are fun when used in the right ways but man is it tilting to get say a sym in mystery heroes on hanamura attack..

    Its been you know one day but I think you'll see a big adjustment in the Sombra meta. Some characters just can't be played in the same way. Today some genji is playing up a bit on lijiang night market while they have the point, around our megapack. I turn the corner, he reflects, I hack him...
