Welcome to any ranked mode in any game Everyone should already expect this. Even in Beta it was a lot more hardcore and "bitchy".

Decent read, kind-of... doesn't really go into anything we already didn't know, except the Avoid change. Also some insight into how MMR is calculated, different gains/losses based on Map is good. Jeff Kaplan has addressed Matchmaking : Overwatch

At this point the only real mystery is how it all wraps up, who's left standing in the end. Dragons would make the final battle ez-mode, should be some drama with a couple killed off beforehand, otherwise final battle will be a snore-fest. As with everything in GoT, it doesn't seem fitting...

Been having fun with J4CKIECHAN's Yogg druid. Casually went from rank 12 to 6 this weekend. The deck is the most fun deck I've played in a long while. Hilarious wins out of *almost* nowhere. Beats a lot of meta decks. I'd say there's no matchup below 50% really, but without tracking my games...

Great episode. Ep9 fails to disappoint. Makes up for the Arya shit. Hound is only thing that could have made it better

The problem as I outlined is that as you stack bigger teams, ranking becomes harder to achieve. 6 stack is harder than 5 stack is harder than 4 stack etc. Simply because when there is disorganized play, each single player has a greater impact on the outcome. If the goal with competitive is...

Thing to realize with Competitive, and even QP but QP doesn't matter.... is there are essentially 2 queues combined. Team and Solo. Same shit that's going on with League of Legends and everyone hates it. Solo Q is a way to measure your individual skill/progression as you are the only constant...

all 3 maps of Lijiang have environ death traps, though. what? Nepal would have the most easily avoidable environ deaths I'd think... 2 maps only have environ deaths at the edge which not a lot of fighting occurs at (Village & Shrine) ... Sanctum is obviously a huge death trap though.

Environmental kills favor picking Pharah, Roadhog and D'Va too. Environmental deaths are a nice addition to the game imo.

Of the Assault maps (Hanamura/Volskaya/Anubis), Hanamura is my favorite. Seems most balanced. Breaking in point B isn't as daunting compared Anubis and Volskaya. Hanamura has like 6+ different entrances (right-3rd level, right-2nd level, right-basement, center, left window, left porch which also...

Not the best deck, but having fun with Mill C'Thun Rogue this Brawl. Still hard to deal with constant big shit if you don't get the perfect draw, but sometimes can get 30/30 C'Thun or higher due to all the big shit being played.

Map doesn't mean anything. I would never go to sleep if I could just play KoTH maps. Whenever the shit is Nubani I just want to rage. In TF2 I would play the same map for hours. 24/7 2 Fort with 3 hour match length was the best. Been playing LoL for years and it's the same map, same deal...

I used the Reaper one once before the patch to check it out, but looks like it might have been fixed. I was trying to replicate it and couldn't get it to work yesterday. No noticeable FPS loss for me. Was crashing to desktop about 1-2 times a day but don't remember it happening at all...

Unless you're playing a puzzle game or turn-based RTS then twitch will always have advantages, but this game certainly has lower barriers. There aren't many "split-second" decisions, most heroes are more "wait for the best time". There are some very twitchy heroes, and also not very twitchy at...

After most of you bailed I kept playing to get revenge on the Genji. We were a 3man group but I don't know the other 2 guys I was grouped with because I wasn't group leader and didn't invite... Enob and someone else, are they from this board? Anyway, faced the Genji & his team 3 more times...

Anytime there is a Mei is when I change off D'Va. Mei is D'Va's nightmare. You know after res you can walk around for a second with immunity? I always make sure I'm not near a McCree so I can suit up... He's really the only hero that can easily stop you. Hog/Rein maybe, but I'm pretty sure...

has to be very early in the animation. It's really only at the very beginning before the mech comes down. Get past that and it's fine. I've taken junkrat's tire during animation, only thing that happens is you instantly lose mech, but eh... you just ate a tire so whatever, hopefully you saved...

Hard CC works, but almost never happens tbh. Maybe if you were solo but in a situation where a res occurs, you would hope it's not a solo resYou can still suit up while taking damage and not die. I suit up in front of enemies all the time and just fly off.

Her suit is off cooldown immediately after rez. Just need to press Q. D'Va is great for stalling since she needs to die 2x and you can usually always re-suit up after rez because you're immune for the first second or so and also immune during the suit-up animation. D'Va main problem is she's...

Or they confiscate enough of the Master's ships to where she'll have enough ships and in Ep10 we see them sailing off into the sunset as her final scene this season. Next Season is her taking King's landing & establishing her rule there. Season 8 is her and Jon teaming up vs the WW.

Not saying the writing is great or bad, just saying what's obvious. They needed a way to get the Iron Fleet to Mereen. This was a quick way to do that. Random uncle appears, tells everyone his plan, takes out the King and replaces him. Forces Theon/Yara to steal fleet and use his plan instead...

Because the fleet is already heading to Mereen and it is instant trust with Daenerys if they fight against the Masters. Even though Euron said to build 1000 ships, why is everyone taking it literally? I do not expect any fleet to be built in time. What likely happens is Theon/Yara return to...

It's not lazy coding. It's efficient. Auto-tracking projectiles is retarded. Stop trying to sound smart with your "omg coding!" spiel. Nobody cares. It's obviously intentional.

The nature of uncoordinated/low MMR play makes it not so bad since you're relying on luck and/or individual skill anyway. A random death(s) won't have much affect when it's chaos. In team play and at higher MMR it's going to be a lot different. Matches will be tighter, players will know when...

Thought the episode was great except for the fact Arya took so many stab wounds and lived so easily. It would have been much more believable if the previous episode didn't show so many jabs. Also, why would the waif still be looking for Arya if she "confirmed the kill". Or Was she sent to finish...

When you learn the rules then everyone is on equal footing. Other FPS don't have the same crazy mobility like this game, without more forgiving hitboxes you'd neuter some of the more precise heroes (snipers) or alienate a large casual audience. I think it's fine. People want to solo carry...

Asshole BM'r. reported

I meant before they drop N'Zoth. LOL.

Anomalus is just too slow in the meta and doesn't fit Mage playstyle, but I put him in some Mage decks for the lols. He's like a doomsayer since 8 damage kills almost everything. I've had him win me some games for sure against other control/mid-range decks. Drop him turn 9 before N'Zoth. If it...

I do a lot of SQL at work but am self-learned so usually have to use my Google-fu. When presented with a situation like yours, first instinct is you need to do some sort of JOIN. Because I suck at writing SQL from memory, here's the first solution I found: how do I query sql for a latest...

Yea good point, not sure.

Seems like interest in LoL on these boards is waning. I've been watching LCS and the best of 2 and best of 3s make it so much better. The dual streams also good so you have some options and don't have to watch bad games. Sucks we didn't get Fantasy going this split. Beating Sidian is always a...

My favorite strat with Symm turrets is to put them on the ground on Cap points. Especially Volskaya point A. Doesn't work well if you're getting pushed hard since all the random attacks will destroy them, but when you're team is holding well the spaced out turrets really annoy the flankers...

What bugs me most with widow is how quickly she can fire. Everytime i see death recap it's so silly seeing 3-5 rapid shots. Obviously these are bad widows that can't get headshots. It's no skill. A sniper should need to have precision. Imo snipes need longer recoil/cooldown so it's necessary...

GTX 1070 just went on sale (Founders edition). $450. Personally going to wait for the $380 edition. GeForce GTX 1070 Graphics Card | GeForce

Symmetra is now my go to on any Defense map. Teleporter too OP, and it forces me to sit at the objective rather then wander off somewhere. Defending is so mind numbingly boring that I always tend to stray when playing DPS. (NEED MOAR KILLLLSSSSSSSSSS). 9-4 and ~70% win rate with her now after...

After thinking about CTF a bit, I think it would probably be terrible in this game. Win 1 fight and you can get the flag and peace out. Only way it works is if the flag severely hampers your movement speed, then it's similar to Payload except 1 guy can't do jack shit and will just be frustrated...

I think they'd be very funTDM probably better as a brawl mode and not in the competitive rotation. I always thought CTF could be done, but main problem is that it would be too hard to keep the rounds short. Only way I can see CTF maybe working is if you start with the flag in your possession...

Yes, 2x Offensive Play stacks. Had a turn 2 Rag played against me. Wouldn't have been so bad if Rag went face instead of nuking my Paletress 2x in a row. (Coin+Offensive Play+Paletress Turn 3 into Paletress Turn 4). After that I concede np. I felt like 2x Offensive play wouldn't stack, but...

What I would pay to play KotH 100%, they are the only enjoyable maps for me. Would also be fun to have bigger team sizes. I loved the 32 player servers in TF2.
