It is funny though with all the bitching about toxic players in Competitive, it has creeped into OWL. XQC is a toxic player that somehow got into the league. I think a lot of teams will learn from this, and avoid players just like they do in physical professional sports unless they have a staff in place that can reign them in. It is no doubt now why Dallas is 0-4. XQC has ruined the teams chemistry and it might get better now since he's out of the picture.

That's why I'm waiting for them to make an example out of him. Though honestly if Blizzard truly cared about toxicity they ban the credit card tied to the account that gets banned for toxicity and make it extremely hard for someone to have to rebuy an account, but we all know companies never do that because they'll always take the $50 dollars over actually dealing with problems.

Getting a new credit card isn't that hard. Tell bank it was lost, they deactivate the card and boom, new card.

Not sure what banning the credit card would do for Overwatch, you can just buy a physical box from amazon or wherever else with any sort of payment option. Can also buy battle.net gift cards to buy shit in the shop if you want. None of it involves using your card.

Should have been more clear now that I reread my post. I was thinking if they made you tie a CC to a bnet account upon creation not allowing it to exist without one, it would allow banning form their store while you would still need to jump through some hoops if you were that desperate to setup a new account through claiming lost cards / stolen etc. Even tying name / address would provide decent hurdles for people to clear as well, clearly there's no catch all solution but in this day of convenience it would somewhat prevent the problems of just grabbing cd-keys off sites or giftcard buying.

Eichenwald...

Win on attack with 3 mins left.

Defend point A with 6, then a leaver...push defense to overtime.

Managed to capture point A 5 vs 6 for the win. :)

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 impossible but it would be cool if the potg was "smarter".

I had a crazy game yesterday where my team was attacking on a payload mission on rt66 with 10seconds left we had been stuck at the final "turn" and frankly i did not think we were close enough to have a chance. My Ult barely ticked up as i respawned, rezed Bastion and Zarya on top of the payload right as Orisa and i think Tracer arrived, managed to keep everyone alive and they TKed opponents. We won in overtime moments later but the auto highlight thingy only taped me rezing those two and flying up. totally missed half of the climax o well.

OFC, POTG is some random Junkrat tire from the opponents, right after we hit a checkpoint. It did kill 4 people but didn't really have much effect on the gam at all beyond delaying us a few seconds.
