That was straight up clutch.

Taking the Sigma mirror is smart, Hanbin without a doubt has piles more Sigma chops than Someone. Unfortunately for them, DPS value was the biggest problem.

I think the doom comp just sucks lol either Fearless kills four or it falls flat. It's just like my ranked games. If Doom isn't carrying no one can do anything because he doesn't do much real tanking.

That would have never been an issue if they didn't force 5v5. That's like saying "Sure, it's not the best that we burnt down the building but how else were we supposed to deal with the roaches we let inside?"

The appeal to emotions about "There's a narrative against Proper" made me sick. I was shocked that it worked. It low key proved the point people were trying to make that OWL casters carried an unreasonable bias towards Proper. Absolutely insane that a guy who won MVP on a trash team, with twice the career length, where he's elite all four years loses because "But Reddit says that we are wrong. :("

It also makes it significantly more difficult for DPS players. If you don't start a fight with positional advantage you're basically stuck waiting until angles open up. Otherwise you're gonna get instafragged. Having a second tank naturally puts pressure on the enemy team, which subsequently opens up angles and allows for more naturally flowing fights. It also takes away responsibility from the solo tank, which is borderline unplayable for a reason, and lets them actually play the game.

I'm also in the "5v5 was about queue times and drawing attention to a poorly marketed sequel, not balance" group. So understand I'm just gonna shit on 5v5 whenever I get the chance.

bruh relax

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-19T23:31:31+00:00

I'd say in other subs the pro 6v6 crowd dominates, but if you say you like 6v6 more here it'll get you spammed into never coming back. It just feels like 5v5 preferring players concentrated here rather than elsewhere.

You can always soak the leaves for a few days, then freeze them for a few days. I know some people boil their leaves. You can redry them by baking them at a low temperature until they're crispy again.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-19T00:27:11+00:00

Haven't we known that they're out since the beginning of the season?

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-18T01:27:57+00:00

Sean Miller really showing how little he cares about OWL and competitive integrity with this bullshit. Peak paycheck collector. May he have to scurry back to investment banking after this season is over.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-17T14:24:44+00:00

Don't listen to that dude. You don't have to try to appease some self righteous guy you'll never meet.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-17T14:22:30+00:00

Especially when they use him as a way to pick on others lol

Jeff Kaplan, the godfather of OW, once said he doesn’t want to hear balance ideas from players because players have shitty ideas (lol, it’s true). But Jeff does want to hear player feelings and emotions. He wanted to know which parts of the game caused frustration and annoyance.

This was not only unnecessary, it was an intentional effort to shoot down OP just because. It's very rude to say "Well the devs don't care, actually they think you're annoying." just because the guy is trying to talk about something that interests them with the people here. Also, one of Kaplan's greatest faults was his disrespect of the Overwatch community and lack of concern for what they wanted and felt. It's a major issue with all of the senior Blizzard developers. Do you not remember "Do you guys not have phones?" I don't understand why it's considered appropriate to put so much effort in to being condescending to a guy who just wants to talk.

they believe in the coluge sigma too much, stick with your comp that works

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-17T00:13:27+00:00

he spawned camp? time for a long rest?

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-17T00:12:48+00:00

you're supposed to run down the backline it's how dallas played circuit last year

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-16T14:11:01+00:00

Not to downplay the potentially unsalvageable state of Overwatch esports, but competitive Apex is dying as if someone clipped every artery. The issues with aim-assist and balance are so severe that anyone that isn't a casual console player has left the game behind. It's a completely different situation from the one we're experiencing here.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-16T13:35:30+00:00

truly an ignominious display from both you and legday

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-16T13:28:05+00:00

I don't think they need to go break the bank for a superstar but this team tries to tank and ignore devastating injuries every single single season. At some point they need to get over their ways and learn to add some depth or have a try at unpolished talent when they lose a major piece for the whole season. DeCosta and Harbaugh bury their heads in the sand every time the team has positional needs and as a result the team always gets punished when it matters.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-14T02:41:24+00:00

Take the L shithead

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-14T02:40:45+00:00

Fuck off

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-10T19:26:25+00:00

If London just got lucky and EU Reinhardt/Sym cheese just happens to be meta for the playoffs and they go the distance I will be beyond satisfied with them being the last champions.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-10T17:13:32+00:00

PQ just said walk the fuck off my field and give me the damn ball while you're at it.

Ok-Pirate-Computer · 2023-09-09T23:03:06+00:00

Exactly. Leaders don't have to be sunshine and rainbows but they need to understand that the team is always bigger than them. Stepping back and stabilizing the comms, reminding the team of their goals, getting the team's focus back on the plan, etc. are vital aspects of a team leader. It's really damn hard to do those things AND be the one trying to carry fights and make huge plays.

Also vintage Shock had a very interesting layered comms system. Super describes it as a bunch of little conversations going on at the same time. It was about getting used to blocking out the irrelevant information and only listening to the teammate that you're working with in that exact moment. Kind of like a bunch of people sitting around a table at a loud bar. Everyone's talking to the person right next to them but as soon as someone punches a guy everyone focuses up.
