There's been tons of studies done on MMR/Competitive rankings in games at this point (now that there's a lot more money involved), and unless Blizzard make up a completely unique system & algorithm, the ranking system is going to be accurate 99.99999999999% of the time. Most of the perceptions...

By the ASA in the UK for specifically the Steam page - they didn't address everything else. But yea.

I like this card design a lot. It can trade 2-for-1 or even 3-for-1 vs a lot of aggro cards, and it's almost unplayable IN an aggro deck. Finally trying to make anti-aggro cards that aren't just as strong IN aggro. Red mana wyrm is 5 times the mana cost for double the stats of regular old...

I use right click for jump in every FPS. I find it weird how they went away from that by default actually. Maybe because of Counter Strike, not sure. Melee I have as one side mouse button, and the secondary attack is another.

The game is pretty much just adventure mode now. Rifts, greater rifts, bounties, seasons, etc.

Well OW is also on sale so ya :P lots of variables compounding.

Close, yea, but Widow scoped in is not "close" :P There's been a lot of posts on reddit complaining about hacking the past couple days, I think it's ramping up as the season is ending, which is pretty typical for all large competitive games (CSGO, LoL, etc.) so it doesn't shock me. I haven't...

It's to compete with black Friday/Cyber Monday mostly. But the discounts are almost always exactly the same in the autumn sale as winter sale, I believe there was even a leaked email from Valve suggesting publishers offer the same price for both sales this year.

I haven't played most of D:OS so what's the deal with that? Here's mine:

Steam autumn sale started up. Also, Square Enix has a big and actually pretty good sale going on their store right now, all the PC digital stuff is Steam codes so may be cheaper there. Picked up FFX/X-2 combo for $9, they have IX for ~$6, etc., even the newer TR and Deus Ex are discounted pretty...

Holy christ that shaman card looks insane at first glance. That effectively silences the enemy board at worst and I'm willing to bet almost every time it's going to be a win. It's going to pretty much auto-win when you drop it in arena, too. Jade Idol is the poster child of a gimmick card but...

It does kinda feel like Pharah needs some kind of survivability boost to become relevant outside of low/mid tier MMR again. Like, the faster jetpack feels great, but against McCree/S76 and now even Widows popping up, it doesn't actually make any difference. Maybe like 50 HPs worth of shields...

If there's not something cheaper than the druid 3 spell for summoning Jade Golems, I don't see it working, but I have to assume there's 1/2/3 drops that do it that we haven't seen yet. You need to get that 1/1 and 2/2 Jade Golem out of the way and then all those cards become really competitive.

EA is just the publisher anyway, not the devs, so EA not even getting that much. Dev team is smaller I think so hopefully they're doing alright. Like I said, TF1 dropped like a rock and TF2 seems to be doing better word-of-mouth-wise so I guess they're doing something right.

The first Titanfall dropped in price like a rock too, so I guess that's just how they want to operate? Idk. I plan on picking it up when I can get it under $30 again

I like Sombra a lot on attack and KOTH. On KOTH her health pack hacking is a bitch and a half for the enemy team, more often than not. And all the D'Vas/Genjis are prime hacking targets while I'm behind the lines too :P It definitely is a unique playstyle but it reminds me somewhat of Spying...

I'm sure Pharah isn't great against top players but she feels so much better now in ~plat range, holy crap. I was annihilating the enemy team in quick play, if their hanzo hadn't been on me the entire match somehow (he got knocked INTO headshots on me like 3 times) I would have had like 2...

That paladin card is super feast or famine, if you don't have it/play it on turn two it's probably going to be a dead card the rest of the time. I actually really like the warrior cards so far

That is pretty huge, damn. I have gone through ~500-600 legendaries on my monk so far, paragon 350ish, and have not seen a fist of az'tarrasque still. At this point I think I've moved on past the point where UE is competitive but still, I like the build. Honestly I've seen the same 10-20...

Marvel Heroes is an ARPG MMO and it does OK, but it obviously is a draw more for Marvel fans than anything.

Yea, I really actually need a system like that but limiting it to your inventory is madness.

Yea they really, really fucked up the whole ARG tease thing. ONE month would be stretching it for something like that, but it has been what, 4 months since the Olympic release where the first stuff started? And most of it just went no where after a while. And then the dumb moment in crime...

The whole premise of that necro trailer is dumb. The heroes of the light literally killed everything already. The WD already has the power over dead things. His entire coming-out-of-retirement speech is like 4 years too late to make sense :P I still enjoy the seasons so sure I'll pick it up, I...

She'll shine in a lot of things based on just reading those abilities. Disabling shields alone is huge, much less disabling game-changing ults.

Maybe they were going for "hit opponent's face for 2 extra damage for 4 rounds AND get 1/1 beasts!" but that's still terrible by all appearances. The spell maker guy looks fun if nothing else, from that demonstration it's impossible to tell if there's RNG or just pre-set options to pick from.

Dark Cultist 2: The cultining That hunter weapon sounds godawful. Rogue minion also probably awful.

Oh shit hacking stops abilities already in-progress? That is bananas. So blasting off EMP stops Zen ult, Zarya ult (maybe?), McCree (if in range), reverts Bastion to scout mode probably.... it's damn near a CC for anyone in range. I was already gonna try her out a lot because invis + teleport +...

I wonder if "abilities" includes things like Rein shield, or only things that have a cooldown. I definitely like the looks of her playstyle though, very much up my alley. Loved me some spy-naningans in TF2.

I dunno, I've only played it briefly a few months ago and thought it felt fine. Wasn't in the mood for RTS though. Some people really like it, some really hate it, seems like.

Grey Goo is an RTS that hardcore RTS fans seemed to dislike but otherwise seems OK. 12 is better than 6 has been on my wishlist for forever so I may grab it, looks like a fairly fun top-down shooter. Never Alone is kind of a decent atmospheric platformer game with co-op as an option but the...

I hope they don't ever go back to a skill point system. It's pointlessly convoluted by modern standards. There's better ways than D3's system to be sure, but skill points are not it. That is probably the single thing that would keep me from buying D4 if it ever comes out.

If actual DPS isn't an issue, making sure to spread out to kill the dumb serpents ASAP, and make sure to mash the "skip dialogue" button even if autoskip is enabled because he does have spoken lines that delay his shit sometimes that you can cancel by hitting the button.

Steam Halloween sale starts tomorrow morning, GMG and Humble Store both have theirs going on already. GMG didn't have anything of interest to me but there's some supposedly decent games up. Haven't looked at Humble yet.

I'll take Roadhog hooks over a decent enemy Widow any day. Sniper is harder to avoid, harder to predict, and has less options to counter play.

I can indeed do T9/T10 level GRs with just adding those bracers, woo. Albeit it's painful, and T7 groups is still best because I don't think I have the damage for T10 groups, not sure. I'm almost paragon 250, still no first of Az'Tarrasque and still no ring/ammy cubed, lol. I'm wearing my...

Way to be a stereotype :P I've had some pretty decent plays this past week but I am entirely too lazy to record any of them, sadly.

I can probably do T10 with Uliana's now that I have that 1 defensive item Monks get :P The thing I like about Uliana's as a starter is it doesn't really require any legendaries to get out the door, each one you find adds to your power though. If I find a fist or restraint/compass rose I can...

Yellowjacket was still on the sociopath scale, which they explained away in a line by saying the particles drive you bananas without the "special helmet" but you could have just... done something better. I love the MCU but the villain treatments have been easily the weakest part of the universe...

You need the, uh, spirit bracers or whatever they're called - the ones that give you reduced damage after using your primary. That's the big monk defense item for most builds I believe. I finally found them last night still on Uliana's and I should be able to climb up 20 more GR levels just from...

It's the fact that the quests are dumb for people who just want to play ladder or who DO have limited play time. They are trying to force deck and card variety with these quests, instead of y'know, having actually better card design. Lazy route. Hell, the old class quests are a weaker version of...
