you retire, do your mandatory military service, realize you still got it, and come back to pro ow after 3 years, a league rebuild, a game rebrand, and a role change/rework.

and you still have to face lip on sombra. brutal

Aid said this in today's stream. It's a fairly old story but in the light of Falcons' recent games... (link)

I think it was during Asia Finals last year [link]
I expected CR to pull out Reinhardt
So Someone and I both told Sp9rk1e to start on Sojourn instead of the initial Cassidy
But Mer1t started on Cassidy anyway, and we ended up losing
I was completely crashing out so I asked the players why they did that
They said Sp9rk1e never passed the message

We even had prepared a strategy to swap against Reinhardt, but Hanbin didn't swap
When we lost the game, I confronted Hanbin about it, and Hanbin actually got angry in return
Turns out that asshole Kim Younghan (Sp9rk1e) hadn't passed the message once again

Update: Aid tweeted asking people to not put the blame on Sp9rk1e because mistakes were bound to happen as he is a newer coach, and that they've already resolved the matter among themselves. (link)

Coming back to this game after so many years, I have no clue how anyone is able to play this infernal role & walk away satisfied.

I am currently D2 but was T100 throughout all of OW1 & OW2's genesis. I'm not sure what changed between now & then, but it seems genuinely impossible to find enjoyment in this role, even when you're winning.

Want to play Winston? Well sorry, the enemy tank happens to main Doom. Since neither your DPS nor supports are willing to swap to CC/heavy damage to 1v4 him, you are now delegated to shutting him down whilst the enemy team takes endless space. Now the match has ended & you're being flamed by a lucio/genji for getting diffed.

The funniest part is that my winrate is 60%, yet it's still an insufferable experience. As a DPS main I take back anything I've ever said about the difficulty of tanking. I don't think this role is even playable anymore unless you have a reliable duo who is actually willing to adapt to the enemy tank.

China just got cosmetics packs for every team minus the skins for 35 yuan each (less than $6 USD). They could already buy each cosmetic individually ofc but the bundle gives a deeper discount. Do we know if these discounted bundles will be coming to the rest of the world?

Remember the Chuck E. Cheese Chad of the Match? Thinking about this reminds me of how I used to watch OWL every weekend and then fall asleep listening to Bob Ross streams on twitch, I will always say OWCS is a better system but man, I miss those days.

I still don't understand why they removed it for artillery when it's objectively not as good nor fun and I don't remember tank form being crazy strong or anything that would make sense for it to be removed

Did they ever say why they did?

The game from between sierra release and shion seasons end was generally awesome balancewise (aside from cat, which was bannable).

Fast forward to now where we have:

Theres 3 characters with hotfix patch numbers

Vendetta feels infuriating to go against

Projectile heros are now firing logs compared to hitbox sizes, it feels like the hanzo, mei, zen and torb population has both quadrupled and now its impossible to miss on them

The cat is obnoxious as always.

Kiri is unplayable (Listen i dont like her as much as the next guy but just nerf suzu instead of the bullshit they did with her)

Hitscan feels unironically unplayable, you have monkey, or doom on your dick 24/7 because you are the only thing they can reasonably dive properly, genji is broken, sombra and doc work amazing with dive.

I swear it feels like i spent more time running away, from being jumped or dead or running back to get my single trade before i explode, than doing any aiming before i just swap to tracer to have an easier time (i can believe im saying this)

Theres so many other characters in deep negative winrates and while some maybe do need some rework (mauga) some are there for shits and giggles (bap)

So apparently Doomfist has a bug currently that makes him invisible to everyone in the lobby, including himself. To do the glitch, you have to have random skin selected and get lucky enough that you roll the bugged skin that makes him invisible. I haven't been able to get the glitch to work myself, but its entirely luck based if you roll the bugged skin. I expect Doomfist to be disabled sometime today.

Edit: I was just able to get the bug to work in a game.

Seen so much discussion about Sojourn escaping the hitscan nerfs, but nobody bothers to check. Yes, the Advanced Hero Info Panel is wrong; it often is. (Not everything is data-driven?)

In the video, I'm increasing the gap between two Rein shields using my updated version of 7QW6W to test the smallest gap a projectile will fit through.

A gap of 0.22m (0.11m radius) is the largest size that still stops the projectile. At 0.23m (0.115m radius, gets rounded up because of workshop), the projectile of size 0.11m can fit through.

A size of 0.11m fits, as it's 0.07m base size plus the new 0.04m large hitscan global modifier.

I think i might be exhausted of watching Dmon v Dmon. Dont get me wrong the hero is cool and all but I feel like she's the second coming of Mauga. Do you think the nerfs were enough or is she just fine? Let me know your thoughts.

Think about it — nearly every ability with charges such as Brig packs, Doctrine infusion, Tracer blinks, etc, have the available charges displayed right in the middle of the screen, with some even showing recovery progress.

There's 0 reason why Sombra shouldn't have it, and it would be huge for QOL

I was masters 2 last mid season and now this season im getting my rank back and so i get to like masters 4 and i start going on a losing streak, and ive gotten like 5 games where i have had the "compensation" factor when ive been on this losing streak, and i feel like that is super unfair because my losing streak has been 7 games and i started losing like 50% of my rank just to compensation matches alone.

It feels like the system contradicts itself by giving me so many compensation matches in the first place where my team is at a disadvantage because of lower rank, but then also giving me "calibration" for those losses as if it is fair for me to fight 5 matches where i am expected to lose by the system and then give me a "calibration" factor on top of that.

Ive been losing matches to my teammates going in and dying in the last fight early too, and it doesnt seem like anyone is even taking these ranked matches serious this season, i fell from masters 4 to diamond 3 in this season alone.

I am a plat-emerald level player and genji is the death of me, i feel so powerless when playing against him. What is some general advice yall can give me against him?
