There really should be a bunch of new emotes anyways to reflect on the new casters/talent/help. You look at them now and think it's 2011.

Been doing hero league and 'scrimmin' some team league for a while, going to play it quite competitively for certain. Been playing since beta started and have gotten quite good, more or less my last shot at something big e-sports wise so might as well. I adore how they actually have game modes akin to scrims and love what they did with hero league.

Valla/Malfurion are my two faves for certain. I usually play healer during hero/team league games.

Testify's looks like something I'd see on a foosball jersey so by default owns the hardest.

NICE, pine is good.

I've used either straight up wood-grain or the upper black and white wood-grain for like 8 years now haha.

Pankeyman I'm watching you.

What a dope video, good enough where I've shown non tf2-playing friends and it gets them hype/asking questions about the game.

Also, the truth comes out from the man himself:

Yeah instagram owns, take a peek inside my brain and the stuff I find fascinating and the life of a 29 year old artist stuck in a college-town haha:

Yes, but let me preface this with saying that the main reason this weapon gives me a massive boner is because it lets me micro-manage moreso than ever. The games I played for years straight before TF2 were nothing but RTSes and being able to switch resistances on the fly and be REWARDED for it triggered the same part of brain micro-managing my units did. If you want me to be blunt, people don't want to actively try and manage it well and have always viewed it as a joke weapon. Microing it correctly and winning fights as a direct correlation to your on the fly antics is one of the most rewarding things I've ever experienced as medic.

I've been a massive proponent of it since it's been legal, I have used it in scrims and in ESEA matches. It's impossible to convince teams as a whole to actually seriously get on board though because honestly, no matter how awesome the benefits are and how good you are at micro-ing it the negatives to buffing hurts too much.

The situations I have used it to massive effect in:

Wipe middle of granary (old granary) and have no time to set up a defense of last, put it on a heavy and kite like a motherfucker. It is truly, truly amazing on a heavy. The problem that most, if not all people have with this weapon is they try to be cute (myself included) and refuse to go back and switch off medibeams after you successfully hold. Re-read that because it's the most important thing about this weapon. You as a medic will think you are hot stuff using this weapon to pull off a 'miraculous last hold' (this quite often happens) and you'll refuse to go switch medibeams and try to push out to 2 and mid with it and you will lose. You need to acknowledge the weakness and not try to force it.

One last thing to note is that in order to switch between the two main useful resistances you have to go through the moderately useless fire-resistance. In the heat of battle is is very easy to fuck with up because you cannot switch resistances mid mini-uber so you'll start spamming keys and overshoot the one you wanted. There are some scripts out there but none that truly are functional. I have been working with people for a while to make a functional script but the nature of the switching is buggy sometimes.

In conclusion it is a very dope weapon, but after like 300-400 hours of just vaccinator usage (sadly not joking) I will glumly admit the negative is just too much for 6s to consider running full-time. If there is a team out there that would be 100% cool with running a full-time heavy and completely changing the way 6v6 is played (think different class setup than the norm almost 100% of the time) it could possibly be used.

EDIT: Also things out there like a drunk shade using it to troll Cafe Monster and 'having no idea what it does' doesn't really help the image ahahahaha

EDIT2: I wrote far too much about this weapon because it's one of my favorite things ever in this game, but if anyone wants to run some testing and strategizing please get ahold of me.

God bless.

Pankeyman, I'm watching you.

I got a boner watching Mercy play though (but I'm also a fuck-head who even still gets joy out of medding pubs), which they just uploaded:

I'm gonna play this game and see how it goes, I have a feeling Blizzard will pump mucho money into it trying to make it an e-sport and I'm OK with that, because I'm not getting any younger might as well try one last game. =]

You can definitely understand what's going on on this map a bit more.

EDIT: One last note, you better upgrade your PC boys.. blizzard games are pretty notorious for having shit FPS if you want to play on decent settings and it's bad enough in RTSes/HotS but in this game.. ugh. O___________O

Some of you are fucking disgusting. Like if you could see me right now I'm legitimately furrowing my brow and kinda making a put-off half angry smirk.

Seriously, the level of 'gonna sit here hitting f5 til I see a post my bro makes and plus frag it' is reprehensible. Almost as bad as those kids with legitimate autism who make threads like 'hello' and 'query' that if you look now you can see clogging up the sidebar.

Also the bros tryna attack another bro on this internet message board got much better things to be doing with their lives, if not give me a fucking call right now 814-441-3462 and I can give you some better things to be doing.

That enigma one is my new desktop background, thank you.
