    Just my thoughts on possible Mercy Nerfs the guy is talking about. Since I guess i'm sort of become one of those "Mercy mains" dude is talking about. I wouldn't mind if they knock the cast time on rez to 2.5 secs 35sec reload. Make Valk ult only last a random 10-18 seconds. But give Caduceus...

    From what I've seen they can get decent healing numbers. I just feel the way the Lucio heals works(as an Aoe) Makes it far less effective. At least i the hands of the great majority of people. A mercy can do a fantastic job of making sure a Roadhog can consistently take big time dmg and still...

    AHh ok, that's interesting. I do have plenty of FPS experience. But since i started playing OW a week or so ago i had only played FPS on Consoles (with controllers obv) for the past decade. I was actually fairly curious how i would do on keyboard/mouse after not playing it much since the early...

    Have another newb question . For quick match does the thing have a hidden "skill rating?" value that determines who you will match with? last few days i had been wrecking in most matches and today had some pretty bad ones. Could be just luck and one time it was simply two of the most passive...

    It's hard to believe you could not get a gold medal for healing as mercy even having only played the game for a bit over a week I've never had that happen. Indeed, it almost seems playing as mercy almost seems like a cheat code when it comes to your random lowish skill level game. It's probably...

    Dark Souls 3

    I put a thread up about it a few days ago. it's def got some very good parts. But it's partly ruined by the whole "your a guy fighting a factory, probably it went haywire or something" If bashing industrial robots has always been a fantasy of yours i imagine you'll love it. Otherwise i just...

    Dark Souls 3

    Imo, try it at least until you get the twin demo fight. See how you feel about that one. If its too frustrating perhaps put DS on shelf for a while. Give the Surge a try if you want a DS like game that's not DS. Its actually surprisingly good.

    Yeah, i'm guessing it was something bad but it's hard to tell what he was talking about to be honest. Seems sorta odd to me for punishing a player for using bad language in what is essentially i think "practice" imagine if they did that in sports? rofl

    Welp, i changed some graphics settings, turned MSI afterburner back to stock setting ( I only used a very marginal OC anyways). After about 4-5 Matches and 30 minutes in the training ground this has held up... so far at least.... One thing i would recommend anyone else new to the game is try...

    I just updated a day or two before this issue started popping up. ON the old AMD drivers it never happened. However i got very strange frame rate drops down from a locked 60 to often 30-40 and occasionally under 10 for a few seconds. It is on fullscreen. I guess ill give it a shot. ut i...

    I hate to ask about this here. but I've spent quite a while looking for answers on google and other forums ect.. So I'm a bit desperate as this bug essentially makes the game unplayable. Starting a couple days ago i suddenly found my screen going black mid fight. Everything but the UI. It...

    wow i had no idea the prices shot up so crazy... you figured after the first massive price hike supply would have caught up by now. I think we have reached the point i would be dumb to not sell my extra RX 580s after keeping them during the last big price spike to $450+. Getting them for the...

    Damn grats on Sister Freia thats a tough fight. I like the Endurance fights in a way... but that fight in particular feels very frustrating every time i fail in phase 3. In theory the first two phases are not very hard, in reality i always wind up burning a chunk of estus in them. Maybe it's...

    Yeah that pretty much lines up with the idea i'd formed so far that shield tanks are absurdly useful to the point that playing without one feels like playing with a gimped team. It's kind of funny cause in my mind i still don't know most of the heroes names and just mentally call them "big...

    Can someone maybe recommend some other hero's for me a legit try? So far i pretty much stick to Moira, Junkrat, or occasionally Soldier 76 if i don't feel like spamming explosives.. and support is already filled up. I feel like i need to at least learn a viable tank hero if i'm gonna start...

    Personally I don't really rate Tomlin much, but i don't think he's really hurt them too much either. I guess i could go either way but given your reliance on an old Big Ben and Bell (Who by virtue of being an RB is always 1 day from falling off the cliff to utter uselessness) you may as well...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Report: Steelers minority owners push for coaching change SO how do actual Steelers fans feel? Does Tomlin deserve to be canned? I think they jus got unlucky being very good in the same era as the Brady/Belichick Patriots imo a different coach would not have changed that.

    I normally agree, but i feel with SSD and a good VRAM on card it's Less important for overkill ram IE 16g + when these guys are using it to watch ESPN/sports at work whilst do some spreadsheet work heh. At least while ram prices are still so high. once 8gb sticks are down to like 50-60 i'm...

    Yeah i basically use it as a healer, idk i just figured it would have more dmg on top on that too. I get a surprising amount of kills with her biotic shit pretty much any hero low on HP or out of position is dead even to a support. My healing done is usually around 7-9k, so not like good mercy...

    Day 5 since started playing OW Moiria is pretty much my choice every match. Only issue is i feel her Ultimate is a bit weak and I'm likely not using it wrong, sometimes, i snag a kill or save a cpl guys but i feels a bit underwhelming and the DPS is too low to really burn down tanks without max...

    Anyone see the news Bisping is ducking Vitor? I think it's at least in part because Vitoris also a retiring legend who could easily win that fight and KO him. IMO, if Bisping was the real ubercompetitor he acts like.... that's the fight he should want above all others... Winnable, big name...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I still think Keenum looks like total trash in the final minutes of that game. IT as a solid throw but Saints lost it as much as Viks won that play. Be interesting to see how big the line in a theoretical Pats/Vks super bowl would be. I'm gonna say Pats -11.

    man, i really was not confident in that kick, Case did not look good recently.. I'm torn about if i want Brees to win it or not.... Without him it's basically Brady and 3 guys you don't want starting a super bowl.

    I dunno Boston +, the 13 colonies. and New England are taught so hard in school i would imagine your average American at least has greater knowledge of it then any other non close by city aside from NYC, DC, and LA,maybe CHC and SF. Most people, especially sorts fans consider it's the the...

    I'm aware of all these things. In fact that's why it makes so little sense. Sure i understand why NY/NJ got the first outdoor SB, but NM over Boston? And just because the Pats play in Foxborough doe not make tem the "foxborough" Patriots, i mean cmon that's a silly chap shot. it's like calling...

    Yes, but doo you really need to be a Pats fan to realize they are the heavy favorite to win it all at this point? Or that my estimation about the average joe not knowing where Minneapolis is correct?

    How the fuck does Minnesota get a SB before fucking New England. I bet most Americans can't poin't out Minneapolis on a map. Would be hilarious to see the get a home SB and lose to the Pats, or through some voodoo magic the Jags.
