Torbjorn got his beard caught in the letterbox
Cloud 9 likes running Bastion + Mercy on Route 66 and other payload maps. Bastion without someone like Mercy is just ugh. Lost game before it even begins, unless they have the same.
IME = in my experience
Pretty annoying this wasn't part of the Origins package.

She has her own comic.
The chat system in this game confuses me sometimes. Tried turning group chat off and team chat on so I wouldn't have to switch at the start of every match but then my brother couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear the team cos apparently there was some little kid on a mic too. Tried switching team chat to auto-join now but not sure if it's working either
Oh yea thats right, didn't read that one yet.

I kind of like it actually. Rating your performance per life is a pretty good way to measure it.
I had 2 really close 1v1s with this guy. That mode has a nasty tendency for one-sided stomps so it was great to face someone who is on an equal footing. I just barely managed to squeeze out a win in both matches.
What does he do when we're matched up for the third time? Rage quits. What are you even doing in 1v1 if you're not looking for good duels?

The constant stomping is why I don't do 1v1s anymore. I've never won a single game. It's just no fun to get stomped all day and then trash talked on top of it. I'd rather do competitive or quick play. Fuck the boxes.
Oh, it's per life? Huh.

I barely see the 3 tank meta here in gold.
When i do see it they are either running the wrong tanks or the wrong healers.
Which suits me fine. They're the easiest matches for me to win.
I see it sometimes, or people calling for the group to do it. As mentioned, it usually results in a lack of DPS because people don't realize they can't fight as well as pro gamers. Then you either slowly lose due to the lack of DPS or you lose really fast because the Ana either isn't good enough or got killed by flankers. Or Ana is solo healing because fuck two healers.
I'm usually on the team where people are trying to play meta comps instead of fighting the ones doing meta comps.

Just played Symm on defense on Volskaya and some dude on my team was like "Symm is useless" (plat or diamond, idk)
they still exist, pray for them
needless to say the enemy did not take the second point

I'm more about the good news of hanzo's dope new haircut.

I'd rather see teams attempting the meta comps than hanzo, widow, one support, roadhog, sombra, and DVA.
Do you hear that? It is the sound of a thousand screams suddenly silenced.
RIP Pharmercy. xD

Hes still wrong but I almost get Torbjorns hate of omnics now. With 8 kids and a wife the fear must be super real that just one rogue omnic could destroy someone he loves. Its an understandable fear in the sense of PTSD. While analogous to racism its not quite the same since Omnics DID actually slaughter billions.
I love Omnics and they shouldn't be blamed for being forcibly controlled like that but it still paints Torb in a more sympathetic light.

So you're saying that torb is that white dad who doesn't like to see his daughter with a black boyfriend.
Are you looking to make an enemy ?

Lol, Hooks, Lasers, and Pulse Ammunition are still more fearsome than D.Va.

No? Thats the same shitty analogy Deus Ex Mankind Divided tried to make. Racism is ridiculous because theres zero proof any race is more dangerous than others. In the case of Deus Ex's augs - and OW's omnics - there was an actual global event involving them butchering massive numbers of people.
Its not like hating a black person. It wasn't the majority of omnics fault and Torbjorn is wrong to be bigoted but the fact a second Omnic Crisis is starting up does point out that omnics can be controlled and turned hostile again.
Its more like someone hating the Geth in Mass Effect. Closeminded but ultimately at least somewhat understandable

Play Zarya. Constantly target D.Va and get her out of her mech. Problem solved.

Mmm, fair enough I guess.
Still fuck torb though.
Also what the letter actually says.

Oh wow. I was wondering how I was (apparently) permanently hacking some health packs and this explains it.
With the old bug, hacking a health pack, and then hacking it again around the 30 second mark, will render it permanently hacked. Or something like that. I just assumed it was some kind of boost, like 90 second hacks instead of 60 or whatever.

Meant to say this last night before I went to bed, but I wanted to apologize to all the GAFers I was playing the Winter Mystery mode with last night - I don't know what it is about that mode that gets me annoyed so much but I get tilted so easily when playing it. I get more upset than I do when I'm playing comp! I think it's a mixture of the loot box rewards and the fact that the games are either a steamroll or a complete stall. It never feels like a "good" game to me, like "oh we were evenly matched, it was a good loss." It's always "the game gave us three Anas and two Lucios, and gave them three Zaryas and two D.Vas. Welp."
I do have fun playing it when I can divorce myself from the idea of winning and the fact that it's supposed to be a joke mode, like when I nanoboosted our Mercy and she dueled a molten core Torb (and won!) but when you get into the cycle of run in, die immediately to an ult, switch to new character, run in, die immediately to another ult, and it's impossible to build any momentum unless the game lets you....bleh.
Anyway, just wanted to say sorry to the GAFers if I got a little too PO'd!
You were a bit incendiary.

So lots of us want them to bring us something beyond comics to give us significant Overwatch story info. Would we be open to a 5 hour paid campaign episode for $15 that? Or would we rather have like a substantial CGI web series to fill us in?
Idk I feel like I want more story and Overwatch atmosphere added into the game somehow?
