Ryuuga Wagatekiwo Kurau - The Overwatch Thread

Probably this, yeah. I've seen a couple people say 'DDoS' but to be completely honest, the fanbase is fully capable of taking the servers down without malicious intent.

 

?

 

Huh! Bound to happen sooner or later. It always does.

 

Yeah I just saw people on twitter saying Blizzard as a whole is getting DDoS'd.

 

Yeh, supports make or break a match. 's why I always feel guilty for playing Ana. I can be a clutch healer as Zenyatta or Lucio, but my Ana needs work, and I can't practice with her without blowing the match for the team because no one wants to secondary heal when they can rack up kills.

 

If I gave a damn, I'd warn the others at character selection. But I generally don't give a damn because it's not like others warn. And you can switch if it's hurting your team.

 

Just be like Aon and play who you want anyway and then swap to someone you are awful at midmatch because you have deemed that your team does not deserve effort. You deserve only my poor attempts at Reaper because I was whimsical this evening.

 

Question: what makes a team "deserve effort"? Like--I don't mean in a judgmental way, I just mean, what's the difference between a team with some players that are just not great at playing yet (aka me) versus a team that is, like, intentionally bad?

... I guess in other words, what can I do to be a good player even if my skills aren't that great yet? :U I don't want to accidentally be an asshole...

 

I'd say if a team is clearly on the road to losing, feel free to break out characters you're not good at. Might even turn the tide.

 

The clutch rez feels so good.

 

Oh hey, couple of ppl on the tumbls said it might be a protest wave from cheaters. The lastest wave of bans was only a day or two ago, and this would be the perfect time to DDoS Blizz if you were pissed that they caught you aimbotting and you can't just magically fix the issue by pretended to be Shmon Smoe instead of John Doe.

I dunno about Aon, but 'worth the effort' generally means Good Sportsmanship in my books. If someone angrily spams the need healing button right after watching me die, or starts calling people shitty and awful in teamspeak, I stop caring.

And if we're getting steamrolled by like, four Torbs or something, I usually throw my hands up and play whatever. But 'a couple of people on our team are still learning the ropes' doesn't ping the same as 'I just watched our Reaper t-bag the enemy McCree's corpse for three minutes instead of taking out the Widowmaker who headshot me for the third time this round'.

 

What Morven said is definitely there. Also being on a team with particularly dickish set ups I feel is worth shitting about. So like things like you have four Bastions sitting on the payload like assholes or something. Being that I am primarily a support player and have played support in games for years I am unforgiving to those who don't treat me right. You keep me safe, you don't run away into harm when needing healing and then blame me for your dying, and you don't bitch at me. Fail to do so and you aren't getting shit from me.

 

Oh god yes. Fuck the people who waste time to t-bag and generally act like dicks instead of actually working together.

Teams that just don't work together at all I also just do whatever in because it's not really a team at that point. It's not like I can really help at that point because everyone is off in their own little worlds.

 

Which reminds me that one thing I'm liking in Overwatch is that I get random teams who DO want to work together.

 

I KNOW RIGHT. IT IS WONDERFUL. I am so used to random teams just not being teams...

 

yep! even when things have fallen apart and everyone's deaths have gotten desynced, i see some teams trying to group back up to fight together.

 

Yunno, having just played a match with a dude who only ever spammed "need healing" whrn I was goddamned dead because if I weren't goddamned dead I would have been goddamned healing him, as evidenced by my 8k heals at the end of the round, fuck it. I don't care anymore. Someone else can play support, I'm gonna get gud at Winston.

 

I'm used to it from WoW pickup raid treatment, so …

 

I got Zarya's weightlifter's skin!

And bought Mercy's Imp skin.

 

Morven why did you remind me of WoW pickup raids. And pugs in general. You fucking bitch.
