#163 Valve announces details for matchmaking beta expansion in News
flameAvastflameyoure all clowning if you think its going to be a ranked 6v6 pub.

thats the road overwatch seems to be going and its awful.

I don't think Valve is blind to the fact structured gameplay = good competition.

So you think the route OW's meta is going is bad? Genuinely curious.

Imagine playing a game of Dota, where some classes required intense micro (maybe a tinker), and some classes required at least one hand (sniper in 6.83) and then you gave the tinker just a blink dagger, and you gave the sniper a rapier, mask of madness, bkb and blink.

Then turn that game into an fps. Remove all concepts of balanced cooldowns, remove all concepts of hero/map ingenuity, and remove any concept of rewarding aim, and then put yourself on pl_badwater. Except instead of there being stairways to get to the roof of B, only soldiers can get up there by rocket jumping, and the only stairway up there involves walking through the RED spawn. You keep trying to take B, but instead of being able to frag or shoot anything, you have to rely on your teammates to have the most ridiculously well timed coordination to achieve anything. If your team doesn't have a medic or a shield, you'rve already lost because the game doesn't have any concept of ammo, and none of the weapons are balanced from even the point of view of reload speed so there is literally a neverending plethora of spam coming at you every 5 out of 6 seconds.

Blizzard has neglected to address the competitive aspects of the game. They added some dumb ass cvars that are only toggleable by leaving your game to go to a main menu. There are no dedicated servers, there is no console. Everything this game stands for is literally an overpriced console shooter with microtransactions. You join a game saying 'wow I want to play a fun class (like soldier scout or demoman) but the enemy team is full of pyros, and only pyros. Pyros that have airblast, rocket jumps, infinite health, sentry guns, and long range projectictles. And you know you can beat the pyros by playing ONLY engineer, or ONLY heavy but why would you want to do that... you're an fps player, with good aim, and good movement, who doesn't get rewarded by it because the game was designed to be played with an xbox controller.

That's what overwatch feels like. People hyping this game are blinded by the concept of personal success. You can be a top streamer or player, sure. And there will be tournaments. But being on a top overwatch team is going to feel like being on a top heros of the storm team. Sure you're the best at something, but that something isn't respectable.

Blizzard has time to fix the game, but the way it is now, it's a joke. I'm sure I'm in the minority saying TF2 will pick up with matchmaking and money will find a way to flow in, but if there's one thing Valve has never taken lightly it's esports. Anyone who has been to a TI will tell you its a ridiculous environment. Everything is on point, the prizes are paid immediately, the atmosphere is incredible, and the schedule/hotel/verything is top notch.

Blizzard fucked up. They made a MOBA FPS called Titan, led by no other than Jeff Kaplan. The game flopped. They didn't fire him. They instead gave him a second chance to turn their MOBA into overwatch. Now theres just a bunch of lore filled bullshit scattered throughout the game. It's trying to be everything and instead its nothing. From a MOBA pov, its awful, and from an FPS pov, it's also awful.

I think if Paragon/Battleborn/Paladins get some GOOD developer support and in game economy going, overwatch will fade out.

Sorry for the rant. Feel free to ask me for my opinion in more depth. I'm sure I'll get flamed regardless, but yeah TLDR the game's awful.

is it weird that this post just made me love tf2 even more now, lol.

#30 The LAN Experience in Esports
HidiTripzGXL or Toronto lan if you don't mind going to Canada.
The mention of TF2 in Toronto makes me happy. :3

TF2 aside, being a big city, there are lots of events gaming-related going on in Toronto all the time. EGLX would be one example happening in April, but I'm not paying $50+ (Prices vary and will increase as the event approaches) and tournament entry, and I wouldn't want to make other people do that either. I had considered approaching them about TF2, but I'm not going to do that.

Keep in mind if you want to go to Toronto or Montreal for any reason, you need a passport, and until you turn 18 you will need a letter from your parents. There are templates for consent letters on Canada's border services website, but I wasn't able to find any on the American side. You may not be asked for a letter every time you cross the border or go through customs, but you don't want to be caught without one.

If you're ever in Toronto, hit me up. I'd be glad to show you around.

hey! i live downtown TO, where is a good place to find info on any upcomings tf2 LAN's/Tourneys? also for these LANs (sorry for my noobishness) im guessing the teams are all made up of local players who need to physically be there, correct? thanks!

#1 LFT Roamer 6's Open NA East (Canada) :) in Recruitment (looking for team)

Hey everyone. I am looking for a team that has a goal of improving. I am not looking for a casual team, but rather a more mature team (Not age wise - I mean im not looking for a team with a funny racial slur/homophobic team name), im looking for a team that practices regularly, enters tournaments and is more involved with the game. I main solly, preferably roamer, have 1200 hours, have over 700'ish lobbies on various sites/pugs etc... I am pretty comfy with the format and whats involved, just trying to find people with the same goal/mindset.

TL:DR ::: dependable 6's Roamer LFT with a more serious tone to the team that wants to improve

thanks!
