There's a bottle of booze like this in Numbani, but what makes it even more irksome is that it's alongside other bottles that CAN be destroyed.

Also, I've gotten some better PotG's as Zenyatta recently, and it seems like they're working on it, or maybe I'm just getting better and playing with scrubs. *shrug*

I've seen one PotG as Zenwossface, he can be pretty damn effective when played by someone who can aim, :monster:

(that's probably where I fail, aiming and shit. Maybe I should focus on that, go with the accuracy-required characters like Clint Eastwood and that Spiderwoman)

You can even land a PotG for a particularly well-timed Transcendence (similar to Mercy clutch-resurrecting a team).

The thing about aiming all really comes down to how aiming works for you between the hitbox vs. hitscan type of attacks with characters (i.e. was your targeting reticle directly on them when you pressed fire, or did you throw a thing in their way correctly).

If you want practice on the first one, McCree is good because of his flashback, and if you want practice on the second one, Pharah is good because she tracks direct hits as a stat.

Or if you CBA to ever aim, just be Winston. : awesomonster:

I find Mei to be a perfect middle ground of try hard and half assed play styles lol.

Want to half ass it? Freeze people all day you have a ton of ammo and even if your aim is poor your bound to freeze people lol.

Want to dink people with an icicle all day? Go for it.

One of my favorite kills in this game was actually the one time I managed to take out a Tracer as she was warping all over the place across the map with Mei's right click, The delay on it firing, the travel time , the seemingly ridiculously small hit box on it.

Oh so satisfying to land on a tracer across the map :reptar:

It irks me when one part of an outfit doesn't match or compliment the rest of it. Especially if its garish. :no:

I mean, I like it in that it quickly visually identifies someone who's won a competitive whatever, and I don't feel bad about likely never having one.

I did notice the Widowmaker change. Yesterday I went from 18-24 and I got level 25 today. So I've been playing for a bit. It is soo much better to have friends with you than play solo for sure.

One thing I'd bring up tho, unrelated to multiplayer. Every-time I find myself going back and watching one of the several animated shorts that they have and reading up on lore of the game, I get a little annoyed they don't have more of the story in the game. Don't know if anyone else feels that way. But from my perspective the story looks like it could have a lot going forward and Blizzard loses so much not having something story related in the game besides character interactions with each-other and the maps.

I'd hope in the future they might do something about that, but for now I feel it would be a long way off. Again it's a real shame.

Oh I agree, the game itself has 0 story. At the very least they could've put the animations and comics and shit into the game, as rewards for err, like, buying the game, or finishing a tutorial, or something.

But, blizzard is probably well aware that the people that buy a game without googling around first are a small minority. I think. Actually, fuck if I know.

In all honesty, it's probably because of whatever happened with Titan and them focusing hard on making the game itself strong and competitive that they're taking to other routes to build the story separately (especially because the gameplay's format wouldn't really necessarily match up with the story).

Well yeah, I've yet to encounter a multiplayer FPS with story, outside of the often shit single player campaign.

Yeah it's story being off site kind of sucks. In some regards you could argue that it has "less" story then a game like Destiny.

How ever what little bit of story we do have from the lore pages and animations just really so good. Unlike Destiny at launch lol.

I could be wrong but If I'm not mistaken Blizzard is going to release new cinematics every season of competitive to expand the lore for different heroes though. So hopefully a year from now we should have a nice chunk of lore. It will be not in game but lore none the less.

I just knew this would be play of the game. It's a shame we didn't end up winning because of it. >_>

That's interesting.

Torbjorn is an interesting hero. Part of me wants to pull my hair out when i run into a good one and then other times they are completely forgettable.

Often times if it's just one switching to D.Va will suffice as I can just fly in with her shield up (heck down sometimes too) and get right in front of it and gun it down. If I'm right on it dies in like 2-3 seconds tops and often times the Torbjorn is right there trying to heal it up but can't match the burst of her guns in close range so he's often also taking a bit of damage and is left defenseless when it dies leaving me to get another free kill and more ult meter.


How ever. If there are 2 torbjorns and they actually set up their turrets efficiently it can be a nightmare to deal with. They don't even need much team back up to keep their turrets alive if done properly on a high amount of maps.

i remember reading an interview where Jeff said that the game is designed to prevent stacking as most stacks are inefficient and players will notice quickly. How ever 2-3 Torbjorn stack I feel only gets stronger as long as they are not brain dead.


I feel like the damage can stay the same they just need to either change its range or reduce the speed at which it locks on (which is automatically it seems like). Its lock on speed and range together are absurd if you even poke your head out a pixel a mile away from it it WILL shoot at you.


I feel if they change that and reduce efficiency in player stacks Torb would be pretty fine.

This is in regards to ranked play in game and not the actual competitive/ e-sports scenes current meta etc.

Triple post incoming #baylife

Anyway I don't know how I missed it since I loooove watching E-Sports and have been anxious to finally see the pro's in action but apparently there has been an invitational tournament going on this weekend. I haven't watched the VODs yet but I will soon. My friend told me some of the players have some absurd and amazing movement mechanics lol

anyway

VODs are on the right side if you are into watching stuff like this :)


Next match is apparently up in about 30 minutes :monster:
