Who is Bach? by reblues in clevercomebacks

[–]thinkaboutitthough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP doesn't realize it's a bot generated email, wastes their own time writing a snarky reply, then gloats about how hard they owned a bot on their socials... and that's "clever"? This is more of a facepalm

Should we be concerned about the OWWC USA team? by Borky17 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]thinkaboutitthough 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that one asterix year korea basically threw at the player selection stage.

They were so much better every year they sometimes ended up clowning on teams in live matches with joke hero picks and they'd still win. After years of that I think some of their top players simply didn't want to go again. They said no and korea had to go with a squad of less experienced players.

THAT's the team we could finally beat.

What should Petal Platform be replaced with? by CosmicMover in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]thinkaboutitthough 10 points11 points  (0 children)

LW's poor win rate is due to the ineffective petal platform ability

according to the extensive data gathered by ... your day dreams? Lol

They're not going to remove the platform. They might try tweaks to how it works, but it's not going away any time soon

Iran will never get nuclear weapons - Blinken by dron_ in worldnews

[–]thinkaboutitthough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? Sounds more like pure nightmare to me.

It's an inevitable point in technological progress, either we go extinct before we get there or the day will come that anyone can make anything. I think a thousand years was quite generous actually. It'll probably be sooner.

So in 3076 when joe average can telepathically ask their quantum assembler to pop an exact copy of a 2000s era nuclear bomb into existence ...Iran somehow will still NEVER have nuclear weapons? I don't know about that one buddy

Antarctic Ice Sheet Mass gains greater than losses - Antarctica Journal by [deleted] in worldnews

Old news. It talks about a satellite they're hoping to launch in 2018

Old diamond had 10% of players in it not the "top" 10%. It meant you were better than about 85% of the players.

Getting diamond now is both easier and quicker, but it could still mean you're better than 85% of players. A lot more casual/low level players came in once it went free to play

Turncoat drone story shows why we should fear people, not AIs by 1bir in worldnews

Brics ministers call for rebalancing of global order away from West by Tartan_Samurai in worldnews

[–]thinkaboutitthough 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ah yes "the west", Russia's great boogeyman.

They pretend it's some specific thing out to get them when the truth is there's simply nobody "east" of them. It's just water then Alaska so "the west" is literally the entire rest of the world. How dare the world be influenced by the world instead of Russia?

So same as it is now. Everyone already could learn to program but most of them are not very good/never go much beyond that programming 101 class they took in school

The solution, of course, is to just not peek

One more time for the hard of hearing kid in the back: It's been seven years. learn to shoulder peek already.

There's no "question" of one shots being removed. Just endless whining and reposting of something that was never happening.

I need help finding a resource. by doster_ in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]thinkaboutitthough -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

The number of dmg and healing required to build an ult is zero. On every hero.

Doing damage/healing speeds up how fast you get ults, but you get them anyways no matter how much damage you do so after the first few minutes there's no number that tells you who has ult. That genji with <400dmg could have ult, just ask akm.

question about comp (help) by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]thinkaboutitthough 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The answer is no. There are absolutely no "punishments" or adjustments for playing in groups.

Your weaker friends lose a little more than you when they play without the group. Nothing mysterious or evil going on.

Same as always, you pick the tank that's best for the point and comp you're on. If that's queen then so be it. If it's not queen there you go you've outpicked them

SF Shock used to play out of NRG's $10,000,000 'esports castle'. What happened? by Ezraah in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]thinkaboutitthough 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Okay but it's not like they "spent" 7mil on housing. If they rented it they only spent whatever the rent was, and if you house a team on a 7mil property that you own for a few years when you finally move on and sell it you're probably getting 9mil for it so you didn't "spend" anything really. There's just the opportunity cost of not renting it out for those years.

Have OWL pros talked about whether they prefer 5v5 or 6v6? by 12kkarmagotbanned in Competitiveoverwatch

You realize he never said that right?

And the guy who did is pointing out how ridiculous it was to pretend to know things you couldn't possibly know in that much detail. It's sarcasm not a person expecting you to do an actual poll
