Ivany2008 06/30/20 2:10:59 PM #24:	This is just my opinion, but while the heroes are fairly balanced, the connections aren't. It's the same with any online game. If one player is playing with a latency of 20 and another is playing with a latency of 60, the 20 will usually have the advantage. Obvious exceptions for pro players of course. Doesn't help them that so many other games have come out since then that use Blizzards own system in a different way. Also doesn't help that if a person disconnects in a ranked match you can't get someone in to fill his spot, its pretty much a lost spot and your playing 5 v 6. <cite>Ivany2008 posted [p:941482022] in How did Bl...

MadDewg 06/30/20 4:29:14 PM #41:	Alpha218 posted... I just assumed people got tired of the toxicity For me, its a combination of both this and the role queue wait times. These days, I only hop on every like, 50 days or so just to do dps placements, and even if I happen to win most of my games (won 4 and lost 1 when I did my placements this morning), you still leave the game mad as fuck. The last two games I was in, my team still won, but I had dudes bitching at me (a dps, which tends to be heat magnets by default) for not killing XXXX, but its one of those teams where the tanks never push for whatever reason, and the support were a pair that really weren't good for the team comp and counters the enemies had. Its a team effort, but nah, the dps is definitely getting chewed out first for every mistake when things go south. Its like, when I queue up, I have to wait up towards 18 minutes to finally play, only to have some dorks whining in my ear when things don't go our way? Meh. Also, the one game I lost was a hanamura game....the kind where the enemy steamrolls and caps both points under 3 minutes when your team is on defense, and your team never passes the initial choke on attack. Symm, flanking with reaper, going over with pharah, etc. etc., anything I did wasn't going to matter because all the tanks did was dance at the choke and the supports sat there with them (even if I managed to get a pick, the tanks on my team never got aggresive and budged. The other dps was a junkrat who never really did anything besides supercharge the enemy zarya. He never swapped off at anypoint). I waited a 18 minute queue just to get stomped in like, 6 minutes. Fun times!! Since I am already at the point where all I do is play 5 games to do placements, I might just uninstall the game for good at some point. The only game I played where I genuinly had fun was the very first 1....with only relevant callouts being on the voice comms. I really wish the PS4 had the gears of war series, because I would be playing that for my competitive shooter fix, =/ --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx I bet my left nut on bloodstained ritual of the night being awesome...I like my left nut IGA, come through for me. <cite>MadDewg posted [p:941488204] in How did Bl...

These days, I only hop on every like, 50 days or so just to do dps placements, and even if I happen to win most of my games (won 4 and lost 1 when I did my placements this morning), you still leave the game mad as fuck. The last two games I was in, my team still won, but I had dudes bitching at me (a dps, which tends to be heat magnets by default) for not killing XXXX, but its one of those teams where the tanks never push for whatever reason, and the support were a pair that really weren't good for the team comp and counters the enemies had. Its a team effort, but nah, the dps is definitely getting chewed out first for every mistake when things go south.

Eab1990 06/30/20 4:51:18 PM #42:	Role queue bad. And no, I'm not a DPS main (if I DPS, I use Torb/Symm or other off-meta chars). Hero bans were a terrible fucking idea too, but at least they got rid of them. DPS buffs, support/barrier nerfs everywhere. Tracer and Genji have gotten meaningless nerfs throughout the game's lifecycle, while Mercy/Brigitte/etc. get shit into the ground. Even Zen's one tool for dealing with flankers got unnecessarily nerfed. SR system is a joke. There's basically no difference between Gold and Master. Doing fuck all with the lore or world building. Apex accomplished more with its lore in a year than Overwatch did in four. And then there's the Blizzcon controversies, hitting the emergency gay button on Soldier 76, Blitzchung, etc. --- OT's Resident Pink Hair/Imouto/Loliconnoisseur https://imgur.com/a/mnLdJ https://imgur.com/a/Q0PEJQD <cite>Eab1990 posted [p:941489295] in How did Bl...
