They invited in top players to add balanced items. One of those items were GRU. How long was between that, a few years? Valve has given up, and I honestly don't think MM is more than a side project for a few devs, since they're literally printing money anyway. In terms of excitement:investment, matchmaking isn't the biggest deal for valve to implement.

//Reading through Flame's post I can only agree. Absolutely nothing feels rewarding either. Mei has a giant wall, capable of making or breaking big plays. Cool right? Oh wait, the same 3-4 popular 'ganker' heroes can insta-gib her, and a great deal of other popular heroes, with next to no risk. You need a healer? Lució or go home. Mercy is a carbon copy (almost) of the Medic, and funnily enough, fits the least into the game.

It's literally everything bad about mobas. The fact you NEED certain roles, and sometimes even specific heroes, to stand a chance. It's the reason I quit mobas. Also, does say a bit about the community and the developers when a random post with a bunch of points baffle even a developer. A company of this size shouldn't straight up need a high degree of feedback to pull off a decent game. I have a feeling they're still riding their vanilla/tbc/wotlk WoW-high. One, they're btw barely keeping alive with the fan-service expansion in.. 6 months? After a 10 month drought of no updates? Yeah. Better than TF2 xDdDd.

The problem is that they started out giving keys to streamers, people who make a living off of playing different games every other day. There's no sensible reasoning behind who gets keys, and out of the 5 friends I got with keys, not one of them ever played WoW, SC2 or D3. I'm not saying it should matter but it kinda should just slightly. At least against streamers or whatever. They rather OW get exposed by some 300 viewer streamer, who plays it 2 hours a week, than someone who'd switch career to OW exclusively.

Blizzard is really bad at dealing with hype. Look at HotS. It's a decent game but an absolute joke in terms of eSports.

Hey man. You empty your clip into the back of your teammates to heal them in Borderlands.

Not like it's a huge risk compared to some demo alternatives on specific maps. I will admit it's a bit odd with one super specific and high-speed rollout on Process, and then just nothing like it on other maps. It'd be interesting to see some new routes being found.

Oh no, a game that isn't already made in a competitive format, where the community has to set up restrictions to make it more serious and enjoyable, what is this? Meanwhile if Valve had done this at launch, nobody would've been angry at the class restrictions.

That'd at least make it even more of a risky play to go for a headshot, and even punish you for not getting it.

The sunset is super depressing to look at imo. Would be nice to see at least a bit of experimentation if you plan to let people play-test it.

Also b4nny pointed out snow particles in kitchen, when jumping on the bucket near the stove. No idea if that's to do with the map itself though.

They were okay, but the first one did feel really weird. Didn't seem like that overwhelming cool a kritz, other than just being effective. Guess it ties in with the two others, but could've been stuffed in between.

It's all mindgames. You're playing against a person for 30 mins, and if the opposing scout stands still every other second, you can easily tell by cosmetics and what not that it might happen again. You plan your shots better, and he stands still for a second and you get in 80. I've only ever feel completely outplayed by proper speed/jumping, never anything close to standing still unless we're talking like.. Absolutely prop-less corridor and once every 10 matches.

My PC has a tendency to boot with this as the default. Everything loads super slowly, but nothing is out of the ordinary from spec readings and task manager. I usually just restart, and it happened after cleaning my pc as well.

Slow motion is honestly the best way to describe it. Everything renders perfectly normal, not a single flaw, but it's just at half pace.

I'm an absolute fucking wreck the first 2-3 maps whenever I play. Once I'm that far, I just want to play all day (and that's usually when people stop).

I'd say 6v6 warm ups, but if it's the practice you're messing up, I'd probably just suggest longer sessions for practice really. Flicking around on MGE won't really recreate the easing-in of just getting comfortable with 6v6 again the same way.

Not knowing his style, level, teams or opponents, I don't see what is so hilariously bad about this video. He hit some decent airshots at times.

Are people really gonna rate his shots on who he killed? Shouldn't you be shaming the 'good' players for being killed by some shitter who can't strafe?

You'd think their money printing would net them at least $10 to waste on getting access to the hacker's tool and forum.

But nah.
