I'm excited to share that I've recently reached Gold rank in Overwatch! For those unfamiliar, Overwatch is a softcore pornography game that requires a significant commitment to bitterness and abusive chat messages--all crucial skills in both gaming and cloud development.

it'd be a lot more fun if the average player understood that they're just a silly little guy playing a silly little video game instead of throwing a tantrum that you're bad or not playing optimally or whatever. Just let me play my silly non meta shit in peace and not scream and cry when you lose

why is this on linkedin

Strategy teamwork and adaptability don't show before, like, Master's rank (top 0.1% of the player base). Below this rank, the game is mostly based on reflexes and timing, playing the same OP character as much as possible and remembering to go kill the big dragons or something

Imagine the best thing about your game being "they made a good anime about it".

This post is about Cyberpunk 2077 actually

I personally can't stand how long a match takes. And the constant farming and purchase of weaponry.

Fucking capitalist ass game.

i can't even really remember how long ago it was that i looked into league of legends, but it was a long time ago. i don't think it was brand new, because lots of people were already playing it. i was looking for a game to play with friends online and so a friend of mine told me about how two guys we knew back in high school played it all the time now and we could play with them / use it as a way to keep in contact. and it was "Free" so what was there to lose?

so we download it and get online, only the guys from school are not really interested in showing us what's up because they are trying to achieve something and insisted we play some randoms for a while to figure it out and get better. and we quickly find that the options for noobs not paying money are limited. so we join a game anyway, and start getting told me we suck and are ruining the game because the acronym commands we are being issued by someone who has decided they are in charge of this "game" are inscrutable.

this experience was supposed to sell us on investing more time into it so we could buy stuff in game to "be better". i think i uninstalled it after a few hours. people look for different experiences in games. personally, my idea of free time isn't something where i want to let some random asshole frustratedly boss me around so i can make numbers go up and have fake money to spend on becoming more comfortable with being bossed around and eventually become one of the people who bosses others around. seems a bit too much like some other game we all have to play already.

Can't imagine being happy to be in gold for any game, git gud ya dorks

'hey what if we gave an ARPG the control scheme of an RTS, that would be great and not a horrible idea' - all MOBA games

League is an absolutely fun game if you are an entirely premade team entirely composed of people who don't easily anger. Otherwise don't bother.

I played to enjoy myself, so that basically meant I engaged in 'jungling' as it was apparently called, and focused on just killing things in the jungle portions; of course the other players would hound me about playing this way or that and so I just dropped the damn game.

I know, I know, 'that's not how it's played'; yeah well I'm not playing to be the best, I'm just trying to enjoy myself.

This game is clearly not for me, and I have to play as a team player and can't just ignore everyone. Definitely not for me.

I really enjoyed the game circa 2014 or so. The game. The player base has individuals that are as toxic as reputation gives. But the matches were actually fairly slow paced and movement creep hadn't gotten incredible yet. Something very strategic about how the phases of the game went. The heroes were deep enough that you could become good with them on a level that impressed, but not so much so that you couldn't rotate between good "counters" to opponent's choices. I actually enjoyed how long the matches were. I usually only played when 2+ friends were also playing to mitigate the toxicity, but I had a blast doing it.

Only good thing about League is ARAM, summoners rift is legalized torture

you must be a sociopath to enjoy playing league. she's C-suite material fr.

I knew some pals who played it around when it came out and they had fun. They would also play as a team in the same room. Wberyone would bring their laptop over to one place and they had a good time.

A little jealous, but I'm low ranking in pretty much everything but Butcher's Circus.

It's actually evil

It was fun, specially with friends. Too bad it now has that lame anti-cheat.
