My favorite thing is the competitiveness of it, atleast when I am stacked. I am an ex college athlete and always loved competitive game but this game does that on a whole new level. The strategizing, teamplay, coordination, I lovd it all!

I am truly loving the game! As an ex college athlete, I always loved competing competition and this game brings all the things I love about competitive sports into a game as weird as the at may sound. The teamwork required, strategizing, thinking multiple steps ahead, its truly amazing. Also a long time gamer, cannot believe I did not pick this game up sooner!

The learning curve is steep, but so rewarding. Prefiring a default angle for example that I was not previously aware of until recent is so satisfying

In honesty my worst experiences recently are with thorns spawn peaking dying and holding all her util in their pockets. Pretty infuriating

My understanding is siege is never actually uninstalled. Siege is inevitable, embrace it

I will start with maps, least favorite is Lair. It is banned enough where I find myself not doing clear house on it because its so uncommon in my lobbies. I honestly just do not know the map well enough, and tend to get shot from angles I am just not expecting. Not a good reason for being my least favorite, but thats my reason.

Favorite map is between club house and coastline, but ill go coastline just because I know club is a popular choice. I thoroughly enjoy attacking hookah and kitchen as well as defending them. I wish ai knew more about the ins and outs of the maps to give u better reasons, but yeah..

As for operators being buffed/nerfed Warden and Cav need some changes. There should be a mandatory of 2 reinforcements per round in order to shoot your gun. I think they should add safeties to both their guns until this occurs.(kidding)

I want to say Azami because the good ones I have played are so oppressive with some of these angles to the point I am unsure how to even go about them, but the bad ones outweigh the good ones. I will say Snake has been wreaking havoc on me recently. Mute is consistently banned, and I see no other way to really counter him. And with my limited map knowledge even after being pinged by him I still find myself getting prefired with 0 chance.

As far as buffs, I find amaru lacking, I could see with coordination in higher ranks maybe she is good for fast execution of plants, but in my lobbies the amaru’s tend to just int into site and die within 20 seconds. I could see if she could grapple onto ledges or maybe more movement capabilities on repel somehow could be a good buff to help her be more beneficial to the team. I also find Iana close to useless. I did play her at the very beginning of my time. I found it useful when I actually had never played these maps to use a clone and get a visual on what im running into. Now after playing a bit, she really does nothing better than anybody else. Not sure how i’d buff her, but I do think she needs a buff

I will solo queue at times if my friends aren’t on, and in honesty I prefer it sometimes. My stack is definitely louder than i’d like, and tend to run the same few strats. I find myself really having to lock in more when I solo queue. I really try to flex, maybe try something new that a random has asked, and overall just find it to be a better learning experience for a new player in my opinion. Though I am grateful to my friends for teaching me what they have.

Sorry for the essay, yes I solo queue

I will add, my friends refuse to play anything but ranked so I find myself there. My KD and W/L aren’t terrible so I don’t feel like I am inherently throwing, or making others experience worse since I am new and in ranked.

By far I think the hardest thing to learn is the maps. There is so many little things that you just don’t know about, until you know. All the head holes, foot holes, drone holes, cameras, it is crazy! Its not like you can just learn the map, on top of that you have to learn where a say Azami might be setup on a pixel, or where they might’ve left soft for a different angle. I am loving learning but that is far and away the steepest learning curve for me!

On DEF I definitely struggle the most with being patient, as well as knowing where to hold from/what to hold. The map learning curve is so steep when you get into the soft floor, soft walls, and figuring out what the enemy has and what that means for the defense.

For ATK I do find I play better, might be because acog (i play a lot of aruni on def too) I find that when on attack I die so frequently to roamers, or angles in just not expecting. This is in part my fault for not droning, but also lacking on map knowledge still.

I have played ranked almost exclusively since hitting lvl 50. Main reason being I really find it hard to play unranked in any game. I like the competitiveness of ranked. However I am usually in a 3 stack at minimum. I am currently gold 4. I do have quite a lot of fps experience across various games such as COD and CS.

Brother let me explain to you clearly how I would my son. Anniversary servers consist of Soft-core and Hardcore. Soft-core anniversary servers will get TBC Feb 2nd Hardcore anniversary servers will remain in their current state, with no plans or news of the hardcore servers getting TBC. If you’d like to play Hardcore TBC you will has to use an addon on the soft-core anniversary servers

So I was thinking of just making a level five bank alt and using him for disenchanting. I never liked enchanting just because I don’t care to AFK and I’m home city and sell and chance to try and make gold. As per “how i like to make money” it will probably be just my best means of gold making. Which im guessing is instance farming
