valve has been making vr games for a while. wouldn't put much stock behind the newest vr game valve made as proof they're working on anything else

the only playerbases valve really cares about are csgo and dota, and those games aren't going anywhere

Valve seemed to have forgotten about developing csgo until valorant came out.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

Having a pretty great time in open queue bronze, for me the ability to flex onto a different role when it's needed outweighs the fact that sometimes you will have games where your team goes 6 dps. Also because 222 still exists as an option, everyone in open queue is there because they want to be, and at least in my games that has gutted the toxicity right out of it.

So if something on the team needs a change I have the full hero list available to me, and then those dumb 6 dps games, which can be fun sometimes in their own right, can basically just be filed under GO AGANE. Good times.

the last buff they gave him where he can shoot more quickly coming out of sprint and his rockets cool down faster made him very fun to play. he's still outmatched vs other DPSs but he's very solid

If those experimental nerfs on Brig make it live it's just going to completely ruin her, the Sigma and Orisa nerfs are also pretty bad

I agree, but people have been saying that for like 3-4 rounds of brig nerfs now. She just got out of a major nerf this season and ended up surpassing lucio as a meta staple ???

Which is why she honestly just needs to be given a rework on the scale of what Symmetra and Torbjorn got

I dunno, I'd say she's in a mostly good spot now besides her orbs still feeling a tad too weak for the amount you can have out at a time and how long it takes to refill them

It's like Torb's turret. It's meant to be supplemental to her damage.

Of course, Symm's primary is deadly as poo poo fully charged (when in range, anyway) compared to Torb's gun which isn't a big deal unless you can nail headshots with that funky rear end arc or you have Overload active.

I'm not calling Sym bad, but it sure took a lot of re-works for her to get where she is now. Remember shield generator?

The game is now more than four years old. Please switch Quick Play loot boxes from three wins to three games. You can play five games and get zero wins and no progress toward Loot Box Joy in an hour's time investment. That's lovely for a game that has so much to compete for people's attention with.

I am a pretty bad player but i don't think i've ever ended up below fourth place five times in a row in arcade dm games

If you really want your lootboxes go hog wild in dm, or reaper or something

Also the offer of a free box from playing a low demand role needs to be fixed so it gives you the current event box and not just a standard one, literally every other thing in the game that gives you loot boxes as a reward takes this into account, so it's really dumb that this one specific instance doesn't do it as well

Also raise the credit reward for doing that after you get your box from 25 to 100, that would make it much more appealing as a potential reward

I take it you don't want my autograph, then.


DM and Team DM are good places to farm boxes, they're shorter than a regular match so you can fit in a few rounds in the time it'd take you to run one qpc. Team DM is also a good place for farming endorsements, if you stay on the lobby you'll eventually get endorsed by most players in it.

Don't get me wrong, I like MH, but I would not play it with the expectation of winning multiple times in a row

if a single mass of bread can constitute a bread sandwich, one must conclude that a slice of bread is also a bread sandwich. any slice of bread of any thickness is therefore also a bread sandwich. we arrive at zeno's paradox of sandwiches: in order to eat one sandwich, a person must first eat the infinitely numerous stack of arbitrarily thin sandwiches that comprise it, each of which consists of infinitely many thinner sandwiches, and so on to absurdity. therefore, sandwiches cannot actually be eaten.

Man I haven't played Comp in so long. I played a few rounds today and I just lost a match because of a duo on my team. Mercy + DPS. The Mercy didn't help anyone except his buddy. Then the DPS made fun of the other DPS for having a low DPS compared to his own. Then we lost and they blamed the team.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I only play mystery heroes anymore. I don't think I could touch comp without muting all the chat in advance, but of course doing that means you're going to get people throwing because they're mad that you're not in comms, so I don't see the point.
