#186 Overwatch Event Impressions in Other Games
dummyAlso, Blizzard being shaky with new IPs ? Havent they only released heroes of the storm? That game definitely seems like a failure, but I don't think anyone can really compete with LoL/dota2 at this point. OW is kind of a new genre and its unfair to measure its chance for success with HotS poor results, considering it was an attempt to take on the two biggest games in the world. Just a completely different situation.

The game was in alpha/beta last year and has only truly been released to the public during June of this year. I wouldn't say it seems like a failure to soon, it's doing decently well in viewership though not as much as many would have expected.
There are pro teams such as complexity, Cloud 9, and MVP being part of the scene, as they also have the KR's approval a bit. It'll take time for the scene to grow, but the game itself is very casual and easy to learn considering there are no items, you could really the basics of the game within about 3-5 games which is important for gaining players. If there ever was a competitor to Dota 2/LoL, HotS has the biggest chance compared to all the other MOBAs that have failed. Also I'm a Dota 2 player so hope I didn't show much bias, just my insight on HotS. In the end it's a Blizzard game that is free, so it'll do fairly well for a while I would guess, as long as they continue to update and make good changes of course.

#10 A talk about lobby seriousness in TF2 General Discussion

Although there will be arguments at how times an offclass can be viable at certain times, maybe there should be a way to make lobbies strictly scout, soldier, demo, and medic only for the new players? As for coaching, how would that work? I imagine being spectate, but one can easily cheat like that(unless someone made a plugin to limit a certain spectator to only be able to spectate the color team he had chosen in the lobby process?) by calling out uber % and positions. I coach new people in Dota 2 and that has an implemented coach system so that works, but we're not close to that in TF2 I think until we have MM. Also I don't count the current coach system for pubs lol.

#17 YGOPro? in Other Games
tetrominoI think it was more the disappointment of opening a pack as a kid and seeing that I couldn't use any of the cards that I got without having a bunch of other ones.

Aw man, I know that feel. I got a McDonalds meal to get Elemental Hero Burstinatrix and that was as far as I got. But nowadays people just buy the cards online or play DP/DN. Elemental Heroes are still cool to me though, I loved GX for it's enthusiasm to never give up and to just have fun.

#15 YGOPro? in Other Games
tetrominoit went from a game of cards with cool effects to a game of cards with effects that affect another card's effect and you have to have one effect to affect the other effect card's effect

Kind of understandable, and what smiteey said. But it's one way to make the game progress and make it somewhat more interesting and build up a new meta. Could've balanced it and changed it a bit more though. I still don't think E-heroes ruined the game in the regard that you said, E-Heroes kind of describe what you say with their fusions having some cool effects but not always affecting each other's effect and etc.

tetrominoelemental heroes ruined the game

How did E-heroes ruin the game? Are you talking about how it was kind of the first somewhat structure deck to be shown? Whether it was Elemental Heroes or not, Konami probably still would've made structure decks a thing and many more archetypes that work. If you mean Dark Law, well that deck is only like tier 3 I believe.

#8 YGOPro? in Other Games
deetryugioh is dead, konami just releases a new op deck every 8 months that costs thousands to build

Pretty much Nekroz right now. I play DevPro but I only play casually and generally just make joke decks with friends. DevPro is probably the best, the only bad sides that rarely happen is bugs with an effect(generally old effects like parasite) and the server goes down maybe about 2-3 times a month, and may be things with chaining.

#93 Powah needs your help in Off Topic
twenty2020this is the same forum that defended Ruwin and yz50 when they sold the unusuals they were gifted by fans right?

its a gift, a donation, they can do whatever they want with it

im not saying powah has to sell his shit, but its totally within his right and would have been a pretty viable option if he needed a quick 100

True, but the circumstances with ruwin and yz50 seem a bit different, if I recall both had quit the game at some point in there time with TF2? Didn't ruwin sell it all when he went into CSGO?

#78 Powah needs your help in Off Topic

The typical girl gamer streamers probably do this all the time having people fund their setups. At least donating to powah will later provide actual good gameplay rather than reading the follower/subscribers out for half of the time.

This 10v10 is crazy, it's like the Dota 2 version of a tf2 pub.

#9 Whose at TI5 in Esports

Now that I think about it, there's no TI5 thread that I seen. So hoping we can make this it? Unless there's not many dota 2 fans.
