deadlockers thread

definitely hugely racist and sexist yes

i guess i just assume every online game is the same in that regard :/

I feel like I lost tolerance for it somewhere

Which is funny given my laissez-faire mod positions on the website

But I think at some point you have a job and too many normal friends and if somebody acts like a manchild you can't stomach it any more

the hydration guy seems pretty chill and he's really high skill

even in my low level matches i had plenty of really bm players that i didnt experience elsewhere (besides other valve games and mobas)

its a natural occurance in any game that truly tests you, i feel. like people are often not having a fun time playing and it shows

atleast its one thing to suck in starcraft (where you can still be bm'ed by the enemy team)

its another to suck in a team game where your teammates are immediately privy to you sucking in a game that doesnt end quickly, and believe they are the last reason why they are struggling to win etc

You must be hidden pooled, I have only pleasant players in my games

I feed fb every game right now, I think because my map and game awareness/impact is better than my lane awareness. So I am playing against people who punish mistakes in lane but I end up winning later anyway

So far have not been flamed by teammates but I am also typically in solo lanes (I think there is a solo/duo lane weighting per hero, depending what hero you pick they will try to put you in either solo or duo lane)

youre probably doin better htan me which also would impact that

i pick bebop and am usually dual laned

What build/strategy are you doing with bebop

I lost to this person

His strategy is that he would pick a lane and push while we teamfight

If we rotate to kill him he just keeps pushing and dies

Did this over and over and took all our buildings

Lesson: Buildings are the most important thing in this game

Beyond just map control (like dota) they give a bunch of additional buffs that make your team really strong. Same benefits of dota (souls for whole team, nerf the souls enemy receives (essentially megas from dota)) but then you also get extra AP and flex slots

Also in this game: Rejuvenator steal via exceptional Zarya wall placement, pig itemizing phantom strike to cancel a seven who was ulting in the air with majestic leap

And my item decisions probably losing the game because I skipped diviner's kevlar and was dying in ball form

Feels like we are really deadlocking now

I just did the same thing with Haze

0 skill massive impact. Press 2 buttons win teamfight

It is insane the skill difference between playing a real hero and playing a go fast shoot bullet lady

i think there's some value is this though. i find sometimes i just mindlessly run around looking for fights and stop farming/pushing and then just fall behind.

The big ass is big addicted

I have a video games problem most likely

Not really a problem because I function just fine in life but when I play games I spend all my free time on that

Yes the buildings are the most important thing in this game

People also aren't really watching creep equilibrium so if you pay attention to that stuff you will win in games above your FPS/laning skill level (this is what happened to me)

yea i played way too much poe today cuz gauntlet came out
you should play the gauntlet its the pinnacle of videogaming

how important is having good aim in this game 1-10

It's a shooter but less important than other shooters because you have way higher impact from game awareness

Prob some characters you can play that dont aim that much at all. You can CS with melee

Never played that because it feels too degenerate even to me
