Go cubs - will be partying in wrigleyville if we clinch with a win at home next week

Will be LFT next season on scout for an IM playoff contending team. Would be willing to tryout playing demo to fill a need on a strong IM team as well.

Led Hot Dads the past two seasons in open and then IM, My first two ESEA seasons playing scout. Felt I improved enough to the point I was usually contending fine with just about every other scout in IM. Might not be the absolute best but still feel I have room to improve and haven't capped out yet.

Also played a ton of ESEA seasons on demoman, but I don't enjoy the class as much. Historically always main called a lot, don't want to next season so I can just focus on fragging and saying the most important stuff.

What's going to happen now with < 16 alive teams? Will teams just get matched against others they have already played? This seems most logical

Hyped for the difficult platformers they are bringing back this year that may not be fresh but are fantastic to watch speedruns of - vvvvv, meatboy, dustforce dx all SS is a particularily difficult one. Should be fun to tune in and watch!

Happy father's day to all my teammates - the best bunch of sexy Dads around. I love them all!

Pick her up. She's an amazing person, and don't let the fact she's not playing with us influence your decision. That would be letting my stupidity reflect on her.

"rejects from other teams come together to somehow manage to be decent"

Well if that's as malicious as he's got, I'll take it. Pretty sure every TF2 player could be considered that.

And yes, Rupee is a god

Literally T-Pain playing overwatch

He's just smoking, drinking, and swearing the whole time.

probably a scheduling error then - they usually don't do that.

You know that's just the extra week showing up, and the scheduling not showing two maps until it actually has teams for you right?

Awkward...

I'll try to organize my thoughts going on ~ 15-20 hours of beta play so far.

There's a lot of talk about balance and things being overpowered. I feel a lot of the mechanics are annoying, but ultimately can be countered or zoned out. For example, McCree's flash is annoying as all hell and frustrating to get caught in, but you can usually try baiting it out at medium range. Roadhogs hook can also be baited, and then he's quite vulnerable. Mei is also annoying as hell, but again, zoning out her freeze makes her really only effective at ccing.

What I feel is actually a bit overpowered inherently, and does more than simply act as a gimmicky or frustrating mechanic:

- Widow recon vision and damage
- McCree damage at medium and long range
- Hanzo's E-ability seems to give him overall versatility beyond the scope of his class.

I think overwatch is incredibly fun to play with ~3-6 people. The more people you get, the better. As a team game, I feel it has great potential and is already on the right track. It definitely requires more teamwork than tf2, as many have commented on, and the variety of situations you find yourself in keeps the games fresh.

That being said, sometimes I might want to queue by myself or with 1-2 other friends. And oh boy, those experiences tend to not be remotely as fun. I'll give the game the benefit of the doubt and say that it's probably because it's so new, but right now pubbing in overwatch is basically a coin flip. Half the time you get a mess of teammates that run in and die, have zero awareness, and end up with terrible class compositions and you just get rolled the entire game. The other half of the time, the other team has the same issues, and the game is one-sided. And unlike in TF2, one player can't turn the tides of a game. If you have 4 teammates running in and dying and the other team only has 1, forget it, you're losing. So ultimately overwatch at first glance doesn't seem like the best game to pub on your own.

Still having fun overall though playing in moderation, and especially so when I'm playing with a full/nearly full group!
