    I understand what they are saying. It just that they essentially are saying we designed the game to be played a certain way...teamwork, and hero pick that contribute to the success of the team. Then they go to say it's ok to not play the game that way...as long as you try your best. It's not...

    Blizzard are idiots. An entire post saying it's ok to one-trick, then the conclusion of the post is that the game is designed around teamwork and picking heroes that contribute to the overall success of the team and that's the most fun way to play. You can't be ok with one tricking, if you...

    LOL, that reminds me, I was watching Harbleu play Roadhog once, and he hooked someone and when he tried to shoot him, his clip was empty. I laughed and thought to myself that I'm not so bad if that happens to pro too since I do that all the time. :)

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I just came back from seeing it and loved it. That said, I didn’t leave the theater with the usual level of excitement I get from a Star Wars movie.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    One of the first thing I read when the press was allowed to post their first impressions was a guy saying he loved it, but that it would be very polarizing. I guess he was right.

    Same here I'm 48. I've improved a lot since I started, from bronze to gold(plat once for a few games). I used to spend most of my time in low silver, now I am mostly always in gold, dropped below for a few games. Pretty sure I'm as good as I'm going to get though. :)

    If they do bring the X-Men into the MCU, I hope they scrapped everything that Fox has done and start fresh. The best time to introduce them is probably after Avengers 4, and have something to do with the Infinity Gauntlet/Thanos that start mutations in humans, and go from there. That mutants...

    Yeah, I heard of that before I got home to play, so didn't play last night. I'll avoid the game until I hear it's fixed.

    I was in the 1600 or so when I got my alt account and it placed at 2700 or so. It didn't take long for me to derank it to where my main account was. As much as we hate to admit it, the game does a good of placing us where we belong. As my 2 accounts are generally always within a few 100SR of...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I love Mark Hammill, but I read in an interview recently that he holds Lucas in very high esteem and would have liked for Disney to use Lucas ideas for episode 7-9. So I have some reservation about his judgement concerning Star Wars story direction. :)

    Damn, I wish I was born 30 years later so I'd be 18 and have the option of play games for a living. :) Hell 40 years later and I could be like that 6 years old that made 11 millions reviewing toys on YouTube. Now I'm stuck with working on a real job and just play games for fun. :)

    I was looking at the NA Leaderboard in game last night. Calvin has 2 accounts in the top 10. He was like 3 and 8 if I remember correctly. He mostly solo queues which makes that even more amazing. I wonder why he's not in OWL. He must have received offers.

    @lost I'll try to explain as best as I understand it. Part of the SR you gain or lose is calculated based on your performance vs the average for that hero at your ranking. If you outperform the average, you gain more SR for a win, and lose less if you lose. If you underperform you gain SR for...

    Overwatch

    He's a good player. One trick game the SR system. They get more SR for wins, and lose less for a loss, in a fairly substantial way I hear at that ranking. So they don't have to maintain an extremely high win rate to get that high. That will change with the performance based SR being removed in...

    It's not his first ban, think it's like 3rd or something in the last month or so. He seems to take it pretty well. They do need to stop their automated ban from doing it during a game though. Sucks for the rest of the team. On a different note, got in a game with a group of 4, who promptly...

    Monster Hunter: World

    A few simple questions. How does the content scaling work? Is the entire game soloable or some require group? And for group content, does it require 4 or could the game be duoed entirely? Aside from being more fun to play in groups, any benefit to doing it in a group of 4 vs a group of 2 or solo?

    I’ve enjoyed the OWL pre-season. I haven’t watched all the game but watch quite few. There seem to be a decent balance between all teams. Might be 1 or 2 stronger and 1 or 2 at the bottom but even then the gap doesn’t seem that big. It should be an interesting season I think. A few...

    They better get Ewan McGregor or I’ll be extremely disappointed. He has said in the past he would love to do it, and he's the right age for about anything happening in between the prequel and a new hope.

    Yeah he's been trying to have this made for years, I remember reading about it years ago. It looks pretty cool, but I agree eyes look fucking creepy. I understand she is a robot not meant to look entirely human, but that extremely weird nonetheless.

    Spider-man rights belong to Sony. Under the deal, Sony finances the movies and get all the profits, but creative control is Marvel's and the right of Tom Holland's Spider-man that they can use in the MCU. Sony cannot use Spider-man in any of their movies under this deal which is for the 5...

After that they'll need to renegotiate. If Sony decides to not continue. They can reboot Spider-man, but won't be...

    I’ve never been into esports, probably because I never care or played the game that esports was about. I didn’t expect to have any interest in OWL since I haven’t followed the Overwatch pro scene all that much. That being said I've enjoyed the World Cup at Blizzcon because of Canada doing...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think that Disney/Marvel just has an appreciation or respect for the source material that is missing at Fox, Sony and WB where they only seem to see it as a means to make money. Don't get me wrong Disney/Marvel is in for the money too, but just has more respect for their franchises.

    I mostly just Moira/Zen now. I find both to be good to rank up, and they are quite fun. I mean you fill one of the heal spot which is rarely a bad thing, while also helping with DPS, damage, and with Zen you can nullify big attack from the other team. I miss Fade so much when I am on Zen...

    I focused on my alt last week since it bugged me seeing it at 1600 or so. I decided to rank it up. This is the last 5 sessions taken from Oversumo. +122SR +95SR +73SR +49SR +184SR Standing at 2234SR right now, higher than my main account which is at 2203SR. Pretty good week I'd say. :)

    Yeah, Zenyetta is my best hero to rank up. You fill a healer role which is always good, all you need is 1 more person healing. You provide good DPS on your own. Discord is just awesome, at my rank rather than putting my orb on someone and calling it so people focus it(not happening), I just put...

    Well, my main account is sitting just a little under 2200SR, about 50SR lower than my season high. I can't seem to climb higher. I did manage to climb with my alt account which went under 1600SR, it's now at 1950, so that was a nice climb. Shouldn't be too hard to get it back into Gold. I did...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I could definitely see the Magus and The Church of Universal Truth becoming the next phase big bad like Thanos. It might just be too weird for Marvel to attempt, but it would interesting and different. The original Jim Starlin Warlock series is one of my favorite storyline of all time.

    You get used to the flow of her playstyle, but yes it requires sustained DPS. The thing to remember too is that her heal has a small heal over time component to it, you can/should use it to your advantage whenever you can. Heal, let the HoT ticks, Heal again, etc... you'll save a lot of...
