Prepare yourself to play a pve mission as Reaper...

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 10:19 AM PDT

...but you have to RELOAD your shotguns.

Also no Wraith Form, Shadow Step, or Reaping lifesuck.

Your replacement abilities are: have a human voice, shrug, and you get really antsy when the microwave BEEPs to tell you your Lean Cuisine is done.

Geguri's debut made me cry

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:37 PM PDT

I've never been super into the esports scene. I love watching the tournaments, but I have no real favourite teams or players.

Before I played Overwatch, I was a huge fan of League of Legends. My boyfriend got me into it about 5-6 years ago. I absolutely loved the discussion. The evolving meta just fascinated me, and I nonstop talked compositions/patch notes in my friend group. So I followed tournaments pretty closely, cause that's where the really good players would show off new, sometimes weird, ideas.

That first year, I noticed that every team was guys. I wasn't surprised at first, of course there'd be a majority... but I found myself looking for any girls at all. I finally asked my boyfriend about it. There was a full team of girls once, I found out, but at the time there were none in high-level play. Perhaps some subs, but not on the main roster.

To be honest, I wasn't that bothered. I was nowhere near that good anyway, why would it matter to me? Right?

In Overwatch, I'm just a plat Pharah main and vocal in teamchat. I've gotten some comments, compliments, and outright hatred for having a female voice. I've yelled at a guy telling my (silver) friend that, "of course a girl is in silver", and I've been told that I should just play Mercy. This isn't the norm. It's just a little sad.

Today I watched Geguri walk out with Shanghai Dragons, and I cried. I realized how long I waited. She doesn't want to only be the "girl Overwatch player", and I want to respect that. But today I'm selfish. Win or lose, I'm so happy she's there.

...

EDIT: Be wary of the comments! I purposely avoided any spoilers in this post, but there may end up being some match discussion below.

EDIT2: Corrected a mistake! Geguri is not the first professional female Overwatch player, Kitty on Team France in 2016 was.

On todays episode of "Please dont be play of the game"

Posted: 03 Apr 2018 11:24 PM PDT

Wouldnt it be great, if we could do positive reports to reward outstanding Players?

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 08:27 AM PDT

Maybe we could give him/her positive reports on things like: -Communication -Healing -Teamplay -Ultimate use -Grouping

I dont know maybe some Categories are stupid, but what do you guys think of it? What would be other Categories? Should players who get more positive reports be cued together?

RETRIBUTION: Jack and Gabriel Wallpaper

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:05 PM PDT

Guys, I think Blizzard has it out for Gerard.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 12:57 PM PDT

Imagine having just survived a bombing. You're just walking around minding your business, thinking about how hot your wife is while all of a sudden, you are bed-ridden in a hospital for days, possibly weeks. You are so damaged that you are fed paste through a tube, and have to pee in a jar and giving the sponge baths. You are hundreds of miles away from home and you miss your sexy normal skinned ballerina wife. You wish your wife was holding the jar. After nearly a month of physical therapy, you decided it was time for some r&r with the missus. You book your ticket back to that place where they eat snails and stuff. You remember snails was your Wife's favorite food. On the plane ride it finally hits you. You could've died. The weight of that realization felt like a 10 megaton fist that could level a skyscraper. It all could've just ended as soon as that bomb went off. You wouldn't been able to feel your sexy wife's touch again, see her smile, grow old together. You decided that was worth something giving up heaven over. You get off the plane and grab a bouquet of roses and a ribbon wrapped box of snails. You remembered that was her favorite food. You burst through the doors yelling out to your love of your arrival, and how you want to retire and travel the world with her. Just the two of you. You would have to give up one of your ten summer homes to get by, but you weren't afraid of sacrifice, not i fit meant living out the rest of your days with your sexy normal-skinned ballerina wife. You get ready for sexy time with your horny sexy normal-skinned ballerina wife, who for some reason has her dominant stabbing hand behind her back. She says she has a surprise for you and asks you to turn around and cover your eyes. You do so because you love your sexy normal-skinned definitely not brainwashed ballerina wife. TFW when your wife literally stabs you in the back. Who could've saw this coming?

Live out the rest of your life with your wife like you said you would. Feelsbadman.
