Just saying you can't call it a lottery when it's been proven not to be
Shit on me for being elitist and rank shaming or whatever it is I do, but I'm gonna call out that nonsense notion.

They'd have to add Roadhog to the game, like with Genji and D.Va, and that's not gonna happen since a "pull with a hook" hero is already in.

Yup. 5643 got it right with his "...scatter like cockroaches." simile. I feel like I have to be very active on mic every Gold comp game, otherwise it's like I'm back coaching peewee soccer- everyone is either off looking at flowers and bugs or in a herd chasing the ball.
And for the love of god, TURN ON YOUR KILL FEED! I swear, a lot of trickling down here happens because people have literally no clue who is alive or dead on either team.
It is hard to believe, put me in Gold solo q and I will win probably like 95% of the time.
That was pretty great. His streams are fun...unless you catch him in a bad moment I'm not sure how he can be taken as toxic. He has a bit of arrogance as most top players too, but nothing too bad.
Also easily some of the most entertaining hitscan gameplay. His McCree is insane, even compared to most other pros.

Isn't the kill feed being on the default? Why would someone actively turn it off?
It's just the letter M. How dumb're these Mercies?

I've been a huge moon fan since he began streaming, sub for 16 months, god sub currently, etc, but he is a pretty trash at hitscan..any time I see him playing McCree I can't help but think he's unintentionally throwing. Go look at actual good hitscan players, like IDDQD or Calvin, for comparison.
He's fucking hilarious when he has ideas like this. Night streams next week will all be variety -- I'm actually kinda stoked for it.

It is off by default (unless they changed it recently), which is baffling to me.
It was off during the beta, but I thought they turned it on when the game released.
I think Overwatch might be the first FPS I've ever played that had the killfeed off by default and I've been playing them since Wolfenstein 3D. It's baffling.
Something something visual clutter, don't want to overwhelm new players with informations.
For that reason let's make a huge, non-transparent icon to indicate the control point so you can't see who's on it from a distance.

This is possible. I bought the game only 3 months ago, so they probably changed it.
Wait...did you think I was talking about MoonMoon? I was talking about IDDQD.

It was on by default when I created my alt months ago, can't remember if it was when I bought the game.
Played about 10 matches with new Dva now including a few on comp. Think I've settled in and still averaging about 6k damage blocked so it's not too bad. I was already playing a fairly aggressive dva so the extra damage output has been serving me well. Count me in the club who used to use fire to cancel boost regularly though which I still haven't stopped accidentally doing yet.
It was off by default on both PS4 and on PC.
It was off, I can confirm when I picked up the PC one.

Oh, oops! I totally misunderstood who you were referring to (just assumed the clip was the same linked moonmoon clip in my other quote). IDDQD is truly a god amongst DPS.

Yea, really weird decision.
They're just following the Team Fortress legacy which has things like quick weapon swap off by default

Oh man, its so nice having an option to counter pesky Widowmakers with Dva's new burst damage.

Is junkertown in rank rotation?
Next week.
The more I play Junkertown, the more I like it. All 3 of its areas are pretty unique in how you approach them, though I do think think I've seen a defense hold on point b once.

I've played like 5-6 rounds of the new map and have defended zero times.
I am not prepared.

Did she tho?
While I've been getting duplicates, I have been getting new Legendary skins when they drop, such as Griefhardt from last night.
I still get something new every so often, so it's not too bad.
I sometimes look forward to these more than the official update videos.
what do you mean sometimes?
the only reason to look forward to dev updates are because of these
I mean just that. I like listening to what Jeff has to say, but I also like the fact that this dude can twist Jeff's words into something that's giggle-worthy.

The only time I had this equipped and got a PotG with her it was when me and a McCree cleaned up on the final push of Eichenwalde with a pulse and high noon combo followed by some light cleaning up of remnants.
So of course the highlight intro has me sniping his McCree PotG which then looks less than impressive (jumping around the payload, bullets just about flying into multiple people, half of which are actually finished by high noon)
Went straight back to the pulse one afterwards.

I didn't see anything in the patch notes, but FFA Deathmatch seems far less forgiving of "inactivity" before booting you from a game after the latest patch. The game seems to boot you more quickly for not scoring kills than before.

There is no lottery involved. Everyone I know who made a smurf eventually got around the SR of their main accounts. Games below masters are easy wins most of the time assuming you are masters or higher.
High masters is the true elo hell. It takes most people a while to get over that.
I didn't mean it as in saying I hated Jeff just thst dino VIDS are great
No way. If you're a good player, getting out of anything gold or under doesn't take too much effort if you're great with a hero or two. Once you start getting into plat, you have to start flexing to offset bad teamplay. People at this level usually have decent accuracy and can do well, but the teamwork doesn't always coalesce. Once you hit diamond, the teamwork is better, and it starts becoming more a battle of just how good each of the people are at their heroes.
Haven't hit masters yet, which I'm sure has its own issues. I would never classify anything in plat or diamond as an easy win unless you just happen to be paired with a good/great team. I'd say that happens in plat 20% of the time and diamond is 50/50 or less.

Who says that console doesn't dictate the meta?

The only thing that can go wrong with this is a junkrat trap and Owzers on rein.
Or when he plays Soldier: 76 with a different skin.

Good thing there's reporting on console now, because that could be considered throwing.
