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
always a fan of low ranked players of any given video game getting beyond mad that their teammates are also low ranked players
No, gamers ruined multiplayer gaming
SBMM is awesome if you’re chill cause every match should be slightly challenging your skill and honing them
Without it, every game you’d probably either get stomped and not have fun or stomp on others and also not have fun unless you’re a loser
Without it we’d still have server browsers as the primary avenue for game finding, and you’d just find a community of people that you jived with and have fun, building community bonds and having fun without worrying about your ELO or whatever.
As if little shits thinking they are some kind of god didn’t exist before SBMM
For me it’s about a players ability to adapt, if they can’t begin to understand I’m going off meta by doing something silly like holding gold/bot lane with a hefty and mobile tank with no boots, and we need a healer and MORE battle cruiser (in the mtg, specifically edh, term) style tanks and they refuse to help, then I’m sorry, they earned their bronze medal.
I’ve done mm exp ‘top’, mm roam ‘support’, mid mm, split pusher roam, Gold ‘bot’ tank, jg tank, split push mage roam, jungle hunter/kneecapper roam(my old fav that’s gotten harder but still fun, works really good when enemy team has bad teamwork and coordination and better when they tilt and chase [I’ve built so much move speed, they can only catch and kill me with a dash and some kind of rooting effect]. It usually comes down to player attitude, ability, creativity, knowledge, and fluidity of playstyle
i really like garen because he goes “WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” and spins real fast!!
why is this on linkedin
significant commitment to strategy, teamwork, and adaptability
she’s trying to spin her gaming habit as something that will make her more appealing to employers, lol
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
Strategy teamwork and adaptability don’t show before, like, Master’s rank (top 0.1% of the player base)
So it’s like CS and probably most other teamplay games with ranking systems
Imagine the best thing about your game being “they made a good anime about it”.
This post is about Cyberpunk 2077 actually
