That's why I always end up playing Lucio when there's no other healers. That ultimate can just stop the big explosive ults from killing anyone on your team.

How it feels to play Reinhardt.

That is an excellent Reinhardt video, lol.

There is definitely a gratifying feeling when successfully executing a good tackle. And good on you Alvarado, you are playing the game like it should be! :)

lol that's basically Reinhardt.

I am finally getting the hang of Pharah's rocket trajectories. The character specific settings really help here.

I'm surprised that Pharah doesn't get more play. She is basically the FPS antagonist from most 90's shooters with her rockets and super jump.

Feel like I am playing Quake when I play her.

That russian map is made for Symetra on defense. Saw kalyx tear their team apart, so I decided to try her.

Same result. 26 eliminations, 12 kill streak, and lots of saltiness from the other team.

Had similar situations happen to me so many times :|

I have it on PC, friends forced me to buy it and will get to play it tonight

Your friends love you.

I look forward to healing them or doing whatever the map calls for. Pretty excited to jump into it

Hey, with my birthday being in October and it being known I like video games and wrestling, guess what someone will buy me for my birthday every single year without fail? I'd like it if it was Battleborn!

Those people really hate you. At least go with the gift receipt option ffs :|


Kinda feel like they are taking the piss

I keep trying to rocket jump with her like a Soldier in TF2. Doesn't work out the same.

Gamespot had a recent interview with the lead engineer of the game in regards to how the Play of the Game award works and why Zenyatta was hogging up the award the most.

I've not seen a single Zen POTG yet.

Open Beta was full of 'em.

Glad to hear the POTG is getting improved. Sick of making a game saving clutch play, but not getting it because someone else pressed the y button.

Also, lots of cool heroic intros from characters who never get potg.

Blizzard quickly debunked rumors of Competitive mode being delayed after an accidental mess up regarding the game's official Twitter account stated it was going to be delayed till July.

Tweet that was the source of the rumor:
Tweet itself was quickly removed and replaced with another tweet apologizing for the confusion.

It was supposed to be ready @ launch was it not?

Guess some people thought Blizzard was only joking about being very harsh against cheaters as the first mass banning took out 1572 players from China alone. Those affected have been trying to plea their innocence or been trying to hack/crack the banning tech used to no effect so far.

Holy fuck that's some intense software.

Just gotta say, Fignuts is a straight beast as Genji.

He's a little tricky to get a handle on at first, but once you do, you can cause some serious havoc with the other team.

These are my new favorite thing in the world:

Okay, I'm done.

omfg that last one

Really glad I'm working from home today. I've been laughing uncontrollably as I've been going through these, which may have been a problem at the office.

While no official numbers or breakdowns, Blizzard teased around 7 million copies have been sold since its launch.

lol

The internet never fails.

Literally can't play this by myself anymore. Group or nothing.

Single player queues are pretty rage inducing sometimes. Here's my Sunday:

Game 1: Game in overtime, no-one on their control point and I'm rushing back there as Lucio to just get a foot there. I'm about a second away and I see a Genji heading that way well in front of me... Before swerving off right to go try and kill a Mercy...

Game 2: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CkNCfWMXAAEwEv9.jpg:large

After the first corner of escorting the payload, they were setup with all four turrets and both shielded. We won handily with 3 and a half minutes to spare, but it was just utterly boring. I crouched behind the payload and angled it so they couldn't see me. Then just a case of speedboosting past the turrets if I did get caught and hiding with the payload again.

By the end of breezing right through them, one of the Tors changed to D.Va at the last checkpoint and one of the Reins changed to Lucio before the end of the last turn. Whoops...

Game 3:

went into this match against 5 Roadhogs... And killed them pretty easily for control point A on Volskaya

Then they had 5 Tors and one Bastion... All setup on those fucking moving platforms. It's doable with some coordination, but with randoms it's fucking impossible.

Totally. It's night and day. Even just one or two people in a group makes a huge difference vs complete randoms.

King of the Hill is still playable with randoms and still fun. Like this 2+ minute OT

I can pick out the 1 parts where we lost it after a damn good hold attempt. 1) Rein charging off the point like a madman to lose it back and 2) Me forgetting Junkrat explodes on death. But still, everytime I feel like quitting, I get KOTH and enjoy myself again.

Way I see it playing with randoms is stat padding time and any win is a bonus on top of grinding XP. Some teams make ya proud but yeah, randoms are ass.
