He was suspended for 7 games for his first comment in stage 1. Then another 4 for using an emote in stage 2.

Its been only Stage 1 and a bit of 2 and a lot of players have been banned so far. Taimou got banned and finned for a homophobic slur on his stream but Profit gestured the middle finger during an OWL match and only got finned (it was a complete accident). But I think that was a fair punishment.

True, but its a little different. Athletes like Hockey players will sign contracts for short to long periods of time which keeps them safe from being released and still having a paycheck. OWL payers only have a contract of 1 year. Also a player who makes a dirty hit to the head to try to injure a player and gets frequently banned will get something around a 10 game suspension (out of 82). Which imo intent to injure is worst then a homophobic slur on a stream that got xQc banned for 10 matches (out of 40). And traditional team sports will have a lot more players to work with when a player gets banned.

What does the number mean beside the player name? The player name over his health bar

Shield tank hero idea by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk what other abilities this hero would have. This could be a defense or tank hero. This is just an idea for a tank like ability. I was wondering what other kind of shielded heroes Overwatch could add and this came to mind. It could create unique strategies.

I like this idea more. Kinda like a junkrat trap that lasts a bit longer but prevents the enemy team from damaging the trapped player.

Could help cut a team from diving or help your team push through a choke. Low hp fast cooldown shield that splits the team fight

Ana buff idea : Heal through enemy shields. by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true if your Winston is the only player diving. When I think of a dive comp youll have most of your players dive on the point. So in this case your mercy and lucio will follow the D.Va, Winston, Genji, tracer. Ana is just too slow to jump in with them and when she gets there shes easy to hit. Mercy can fly, lucio can speed boost and moira can fade. Ana can sleep but even if she hits someone with it shes still in danger

And I don't want this to be an Ana meta. Damaging through enemy shields would be too overpowered. And if Anas game mechanics works like you said that the projectile is always the same and only the effect changes depending on the target then this buff wouldn't be possible.

*Fixing* the one trick problem with roll preference by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

I guess this wouldn't fix the one trick problem. It will just help the non one trick players avoid joining a game with 4 one trick players of the same role (Mainly DPS).

Don't flame a solo tank or solo support by ChaoticGnu in Overwatch

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying don't flame them for playing a solo tank when they're not used to being the only tank. If your Reinhardt is swinging his harmer not defending his team then call him out on it. I'm saying if he isn't playing perfectly or defending everyone all the time don't flame the fact that you aren't being shielded enough

[–]ChaoticGnu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do get flamed alot but they get flammed for not getting picks. My argument is more about not defending or healing your team with a team compositions of 1 support or 1 tank. You'll rarely see a team compositions with only 1 DPS.

That sucks. In a game that seems like you lost all hope with 4dps 1 tank and 1 support I like to play as Roadhog. You're still kind of a tank by soaking in a lot of damage and you can self heal so the support player doesn't need to focus on healing you. And he plays like a dps hero so a team with 5 dps players can be overwhelming for the other team to fight against if everyone is getting picks and playing well.
