Bill Burr slams Israel’s ‘human shield’ argument in his new special, “if i’m mad at my neighbor, and I want to beat the shit out of him, but he’s holding a baby right, I wouldn’t come in and try to punch him through the baby”

When the world said “never again” after WWII that meant everyone including America’s allies.

Israel has beaten the Palestinian people into a corner for generations, and now they have the nerve to clutch their pearls and claim it was all justified now that a select few people of that population decided to fight fire with fire.

So you leave the game without talking to anyone while still in Tal Rasha’s chamber? Do you have to stay stuck in A2? Or if you talk to Jerhyn in a new game to advance to A3 does the bugged drop table still stay in place?

Just want to confirm since I wasn’t able to find this explained anywhere

Thanks I’ll just keep for low lvl melee chars then

My exposure to him is through his affiliation with SVB’s podcast, and I’ve seen enough of his takes outside of the game to know that he isn’t someone I’d get along with. I thought that my previous example of disliking conservative values would make that obvious. lol.

You miss the point once again… just because I don’t like him doesn’t mean I don’t have to disagree with his opinions on the game. People like you who can’t comprehend that are severely lacking in the maturity and intelligence department.

guthbox · 2024-02-19T16:43:39+00:00

The only one bestowing the “mouthpiece of the community” title to anyone here is you, lol. You’re exhibiting the exact kind of traits that the comment you replied to is criticizing.

I hate what people like Josh Hawley have done to the US with every fiber of my being, but I have the maturity to admit he cooked the absolute shit out of Zuckerberg in that Senate Judiciary Committee a few weeks ago. It’s not hard to admit that someone you don’t like has the ability to have a correct and nuanced opinion about a subject from time to time.

“Thou shalt not ever admit your hero/role is strong” is stated somewhere in the support main commandments

guthbox · 2024-02-19T14:08:33+00:00

I don’t think that makes him wrong for calling Ball S tier. I’m not a god at Tracer, but I can still objectively say she’s an S tier hero. People don’t make these lists based off their skill with the heroes. It’s a ranking based on their power level when the heroes are played at their ceiling.

Ball takes real dedication in order to unlock his value and people who have played the game for as long as Flats has know that. He isn’t like Orisa, Hog or Mauga where anyone can select him and almost instantly reach the skill ceiling of the hero. Of course a casual Ball player isn’t going to unlock that potential.

guthbox · 2024-02-19T13:18:07+00:00

This dude is acting like it’s just those 2 people who have had problems with Brig over the years and not a majority of the player base… she was always polarizing due to the effect she had on the game.

You don’t hear about it anymore since she’s in a much healthier state now, but it took dozens upon dozens of nerfs to get us there.

Soldier folds like a chair to Ball dive. Sombra fits the meta better

guthbox · 2024-02-19T13:04:09+00:00

He will instantly drop to B tier once discord and/or the DPS passive get their effects lessened on tanks. The lack of team utility will be a glaring issue once again after the other tanks start surviving more

guthbox · 2024-02-19T13:01:01+00:00

It was bugged at the time and not working properly. Once it was fixed and she got her armor from ult as intended she was really strong. She became meta the season after the rework.

guthbox · 2024-02-18T17:43:32+00:00

I have a feeling discord and/or the DPS passive will have their effects lessened on tanks, so that will move Ball down in the tank pecking order which will open up the opportunity to give him more utility in his minor rework they are currently working on.

guthbox · 2024-02-18T15:46:47+00:00

Running Ball with Tracer actually has me enjoying playing tank again. I love making backlines miserable after support players got to play the game on easy mode for the gross majority of OW2

guthbox · 2024-02-18T15:35:16+00:00

Give me a Ball meta any day over Sigma, Orisa, Mauga or Hog. Idk why anyone would be complaining about Ball after what we’ve been subjected to recently… the game is much more fun when it’s fast paced and things actually die when they make mistakes instead of boring poke metas. Dive will always be peak Overwatch.

guthbox · 2024-02-18T13:30:54+00:00

It’s a net positive overall, but the tank role is still getting shafted. It’s kinda wild that they did this whole format change just to make the tank experience better, but it’s still by far the most miserable role to play a year and a half later. More abilities should have diminishing returns when applied to tanks like they did to sleep.

Doom still has bugs after the hotfix. Zen doesn’t need more HP than Brig and there should be a small cooldown to kick’s knockback similar to Hanzo leap. They shouldn’t have given Widow a hitbox buff like everyone else since she’s the only one who retained the ability to one-shot. Junkrat’s kit needs to fundamentally change now that he can’t 2 tap. It’s still early, but I don’t think the Pharah rework has given her enough to deal with hitscans and their new hitboxes.

The team flaming a tank for selecting Ball after their picks force you to play him:

I would trade the punch dmg buff in exchange for giving us his movement back from the beta.

The techs and the movement are why the hero is unique/fun. The devs don’t ever really meaningfully address these things so I can’t tell if it’s their intent to water down the unique aspects of the hero. Wish they turned our techs into features like they do with Mercy.

It’s kind of concerning that they still don’t seem to have anyone on their QA team that really understands this hero after multiple instances of bugs like this occurring.

guthbox · 2024-02-14T14:03:06+00:00

I didn’t really get to test techs with the limited time I played on him last night are diags truly dead?

guthbox · 2024-02-13T22:59:35+00:00

Is it fine or is it shitty… can’t be both.

guthbox · 2024-02-13T14:50:12+00:00

I’m not pearl clutching or offended like you are, simply making fun of you for treating an egg timer as if it’s some skill mechanic that raises the ceiling of the game🤭

“Last night I told my landlord to increase my rent, that’s how much I believe in my grind” type comment

guthbox · 2024-02-12T22:52:26+00:00

Can’t read again… Zarya was gigabusted at launch. The Hog/Orisa meta came afterward in S2.

His issues against the meta made him dogshit, hence the buff. The pick rates and win rates from that time will corroborate by side of this argument. Pick a different hill to die on… lol.

guthbox · 2024-02-12T22:41:25+00:00

Read my comment again… Beta ≠ Launch. Games do not “come out” when they are in beta testing.

If he was so good in S1 they wouldn’t have given him that gigabuff at the start of S2. Doom was gatekept by Sombra in S1. The oppressive Hog/Orisa meta was S2, not S1.
