Also cloud 9 really needs a redesign for their uniform.

Okay, do a fake punch at the camera.
Not like a real punch. Make the whole thing look really half-hearted and awkward.
And shave just the back 1/3 of your hair.
Great. Here's an Asus sponsorship.

I can't find any way to filter by map or see my Ties. Am I missing something?

Man, Overwatch as a competitive sport is fucking aces! Perfect match lengths for a tense and exciting watch! And so far announcers gave been knowledgeable and entertaining themselves.
Well done, Blizz! 💯💯💯

Are you saying "FemCaster" because the person announcing is a female...?
I may be misunderstanding but your comment comes off a bit creepy.

I dont know her name. Well any of the casters/analysts.
Not sure how you got creepiness out of it.

I'm aware of ZP from all of the GosuGamers weeklies, but I have no idea who anyone else is at the table.

So here's a question -- is Bastion legitimately bad?
I've always kind of wondered this, but the main reason why Bastion is so bad is because he's a single fixed target to get mowed down by enemies who have learned where he is. But maybe everyone's sort of playing him wrong?
What I want to know is if his recon/walking mode is bad. It has a self heal and a hitscan rifle, and while I haven't had a good chance to try him out to test this, maybe Bastion is intended to be less of a camp and more of a mobile character than what we know of him today. What if he's meant to be a less mobile 76 that just has the ability to bunker down and let loose?
Or maybe I'm just crazy.

well tbh your post was a tiny bit weird like how do you know she got wet when it's not even raining in the studio?
I'm just pulling your strings

I've never spent any time watching game streams before today, but I saw your comment after watching a bunch of gross vitriol from the Twitch chat.
The chat seemed to be focusing quite a bit on the fact that there is a female host. I was viewing your comment through the same lens.
he's situational, but yes it tends to be better if the player is mobile and proactive rather than just setting up in one spot. he relies on quickly blowing people up which is way easier if the enemy never knows where he's going to be turreting from.

Wow - that was a D.va bomb actually connecting in pro level Overwatch. Against Envy!
SO GOOD

Twitch chat is a mistake.
Except for yesterday when Seagull came up... someone said, "There goes our beautiful boy!"
The phrasing was just so left field that I died.
I feel like this is why Widow is sort of a bad fit for Overwatch. She's almost completely a solo character who does one thing well and she does it in such a way that there's very little in the way of counter attack.
Get killed by most of the cast of Overwatch because someone is generally playing well? No problem. I tip my hat to you, sir. Get killed by Widow on a snipe from somewhere across the map? No thank you.
I watch it always over the tv with fullscreen.
Heh yeah, his voice doesn't match him at all.
Glad to see Envy got their shit together and aren't playing hung over anymore.

Envy pushed C9's shit in. So good.
Rooting for Envy.

He's bad. You're supposed to move him around between every fight, but the static factor in general means if he ever does get called out he dies instantly. Recon mode isn't complete garbage but it's worse than every other hitscan hero so it's not a redeeming factor.

We're tied up! C9 not going to get swept.

Well look on the bright side, seeing how much some hitscan players struggle to hit her on console I'd almost have more faith in someone lobbing a Junk mine in the air.

I hate it when I'm playing Zenyatta and I have to try to pick off Pharah. I know I need to be able to hit a higher percentage of shots against her than I'm capable of, but it also really shouldn't be my job to be staring up in the sky either.
Yup! The same thing happened to me. I wish people would listen. The basics are very easy, and getting them right wins the games 9/10.
I don't think I'm ever going to pick healer again. So sick of terrible DPS not doing their jobs.
So many times has a Pharah dominated my team and I'm left to deal with her as Reaper. The frustration of only having 1-2 seconds to finish her before she's out of your reach again.

You know what I've noticed in my 100+ hours of playing? If your DPS players aren't killing then you lose. I know that sounds super obvious, but the winning team always has really outstanding DPS players. People that WILL get that kill. If you don't have somebody who will get that particular job done you're screwed. It's the most important role.
And if the DPS sucks, they'll just try to pass that blame onto the healers.

Switch to McCree?
DPS guys (mainly Reapers) are usually the first ones who whine and complain the most. either they tell you what to pick or they tell you to switch. they don't wanna play tank or support so they push others to do it. what's funny is when they're fixated on it so much that they're not even focusing on winning the game.

I always appreciate smart Reapers anticipating my Pharah landing and ambushing me there. Surprise is key.
But more often than not, I see them waiting and go hyper aggressive instead of skipping away - so many just ghost away when they suffer the first direct rocket hit. It's rarely a threatening match-up since I don't fly in the enclosed spaces where Reaper excels.
Equally insane is how well envyus deal with nano boosted reapers. I've watched what I thought was going to be a team kill fizzle out into nothing.

Envyus played really well, as expected. C9 put up a decent fight, too. But Envyus is still just absolutely beastly in their game and coordination.

First match of the day: team includes a salty "thanks" spamming Reaper who can't hit the side of a barn or kill squishies even with my damage boost and death blossoms in front of groups of enemies and also a Rein shield.
I'm thinking this chap was tilted before we even started the match.
Fortunately it being my first match I just can chuckle and take this in stride right now.

Yeah, they're really on point with predicting and having CC ready for it. At the same time, if you have an idea that C9 wants to fight, they are extremely predictable as to what they want to do. A lot of people will bring fights down to more ults = victory, which is right most of the time but not all the time. Still gotta play that correctly though, and the high level calls are super cool when they happen.
What if there's a McCree already on your team?
I can deal with Pharah usually but it's such a waste for a Reaper to focus his game on taking down Pharah whilst the support and tanks run riot.
Soldier?
