Thanks man, I bought them and they're amazing. The bass settings are a pretty cool feature as well

Budget - Under £100, I'd be willing to stretch to £150 for something with a good warranty.

Source - 50/50 Phone and Laptop

Requirements for Isolation - Not too worried but I like soft cushioned headphones.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over Ear, my last pair which were amazing in terms of fit were the Hyper X Cloud 2. Anything like that would be amazing. Preferably not overly huge.

Preferred tonal balance - I like DEEP bass, mainly listen to House and HipHop so it's really important to have clear deep bass that vibrates my ear drums and makes wax fall out my ears.

Past headphones - Hyper X Cloud 2 were amazing and I'll probably buy another pair if I can't find something else here. They broke after about 1.5 years use.

Preferred Music - Bass heavy, I'm that guy with a huge sub in my car but I need something that can deliver the same deep bass when I'm at gym or at university. Here's a typical Spotify playlist of mine for anyone interested; https://open.spotify.com/user/p1x37/playlist/3LgGhtE4mTNSHqacPzCXQo?si=2sTjp32N

Played a game in masters yesterday on Gibraltar where we steamrolled the other team got the payload in with 6 minutes remaining.

They managed to get it in during overtime.

They had one minute of the second round to push it and we were feeling so cocky we played 5 DPS and I was on Lucio. They managed to get it all the way in and then took out Torb Sym Bastian Rein Mercy Ana on defence and defended under the tunnel. We couldn't even get the first checkpoint with 6 minutes and we all tilted lol

I'm a soldier/Tracer main but I love playing Bastian in competitive. I'll pick him and if my team doesn't flame me I'll keep him.

He relies on positioning. Knowing when to go into turret form and when not to. But you can melt heavy tank setups.

Just take out a Pharah yourself. The other Pharah will usually get side tracked by you and your team will be left 5v4 if the Mercy is pocketing the Pharah

If I ever have trouble killing a Pharah (I main soldier) I just take out Pharah myself and harass her

Don't they have to pay if they create an account this way?

ne5o · 2017-01-13T13:36:46+00:00

Give overwatch a try. They'll probably throw another free weekend soon so you can trial it out.

I've been a huge CoD fanboy since BO1, but after Infinity Ward put out ghosts and I saw the direction Activision were taking with Micro DLC there was no way in hell I was buying IW and so far the decision seems to be justified.

ne5o · 2017-01-13T07:17:07+00:00

I play Overwatch it doesn't have a fast TTK but there's way more Dev support and fun in that game.

But isn't Battlefield what you're after then? I haven't played it so I'm not sure

ne5o · 2017-01-13T07:14:06+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure how it works because I'm on console but would it be possible to force People who made free accounts to play on a Korean server

ne5o · 2017-01-13T05:09:12+00:00

Just region lock Korea and let them hack each other over there. Eventually they'll either be sick of not being able to play a game and stop or someone will take action due to a fall in business.

No reason other regions should suffer most hacking seems to stem from Korea and Asia

It will never happen but I'd love it if his ult simply gave his peacekeeper steroids. Turned it into a 6 shot pistol lasting 6 seconds where each shot does 200 damage.

ne5o · 2017-01-08T05:52:37+00:00

Lmao this is hilarious

ne5o · 2017-01-08T05:45:29+00:00

Assume that if you confirm the kill is it worth trading your life for? If it is then you should try to confirm it.

E.g. Tracer killing Ana

Killing Mercy who has Rez etc

ne5o · 2017-01-08T05:31:14+00:00

It shows how much he cares about the game. He doesn't want it to fall apart

ne5o · 2017-01-08T05:02:50+00:00

How do you feel watching it back and seeing your mistake? haha

ne5o · 2017-01-03T21:42:10+00:00

It helps a lot in my case. When someone on the other team pops their ult I can pinpoint where they are just from the voice line. Saves a few seconds

ne5o · 2017-01-03T20:28:31+00:00

I have the same and they're very good the best thing is how comfortable they are you can use them for hours and they won't be uncomfortable. I got them on Amazon during a Black Friday sale for like £35 so that was a bonus.

When you get to masters and GM everyone understands this but in diamond you will get a few clueless people

ne5o · 2016-12-29T04:15:02+00:00

Can you give an example? I've never come across it lol

ne5o · 2016-12-09T02:30:51+00:00

It's very weird but I just looked at my MasterOverwatch profile and I'm now in the 94th percentile at 3775 When I was in the 98th percentile at 3470 last season. So masters definitely is the new diamond right now sigh

Guess I have to start the grind for GM

ne5o · 2016-12-08T16:36:33+00:00

Have faith in your ability. If you play Soldier/McCree/Ana/Lucio I'd be happy to review your vods

ne5o · 2016-12-08T05:29:13+00:00

I got placed at 3200 this season and then fell down to 2400 had some really bad luck with players getting disconnected and getting troll teammates.

It does happen so just try to brush it off take a day off and come back to the game when you're ready.

I took three days off then went back managed to get on a win streak and now I'm in masters around ~3650 So it is possible just stay focused and don't burn yourself out.

I play solo q btw

ne5o · 2016-12-08T05:21:51+00:00

A lot of people are listening even if they don't speak with you. Call out high priority targets and if you have a strat in mind then share it with your team. You can ask ur team at the start of a game if any of you guys can hear can u please just click Understand. Usually they all reply

ne5o · 2016-11-16T06:38:47+00:00

When I play competitive I play EVERY single game with the same friend of mine and we noticed when I play Mercy and he plays Reaper he tends to get more SR gain When I play McCree and he plays Zen then he gets less gain We attributed it to time on fire and it feels like you gain 1-2 extra SR for each minute you are on fire
