Two-Way Players

For the 2019 Overwatch League season, teams and players may negotiate the right to designate the player as eligible to compete in Contenders on an affiliated team. Any player on the roster may agree to be eligible for Contenders play, but a maximum of four players may be designated as "two-way" players during each Overwatch League stage, and those players must be identified and submitted to the League Office prior to each stage.

Sombra gets inside Payload in Comp Resulting in a loss

I have trust issues, and I play Mystery Heroes only because I have more faith in RNG than in people making decisions for the good of each other over their personal preferences. Please let me Endorse people in Mystery Heroes who I greatly value as a team player.

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 03:04 AM PDT

As the title says. I know there are group finders now and I use it as the only way to play quickplay when I do, however that doesn't change the fact that my main game mode is mystery heroes. The game keeps tell me I cannot endorse players from the previous match, but it always says that in Mystery Heroes no matter at which point I press N.

Is this wrong to do?

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 02:08 PM PDT

So on my main, I'm about a high master low gm tracer. And I have this alt account where I only play Lucio, I placed low plat in season 10, and I've stayed there because my Lucio isn't the best.

Well Last night I was playing Lucio, and this dude was playing Mcree, he was clearly smurfing, but I didn't care, he kept killing everyone, and I was just jumping around. But then he started killing me, and then he started spawn camping me. AND he called me an EZ kill in chat. And then he T-bagged me. So in my head, I was like you Lil smurf bitch. So I switched to Tracer. I said I'm going to make this boi pay for his sins. First time I saw him I one clipped him. He was like dofuq :() in chat. Then every time he walked outa spawn I one clipped him for the rest of the game. He got furious in chat. So he switched to Torb and stayed in spawn, and we won. It felt pretty good

I tried changing my graphics settings to max and taking a screenshot at 9x resolution.

My PC isn't anywhere near powerful enough to handle that. It bugged out, but looks pretty cool and surreal.

How to make Junkenstein's revenge same same, yet very different (satire)

Posted: 02 Sep 2018 12:42 PM PDT

So, imagine this with me.

1: BOOM, Junkenstein wins

you heard me, the mad doc himself basically beats over the first 4 heroes and is all like, Yo this castle mine now.

he's using the castle to bring his monster to life, and you, now as 4 NEW heroes, gotta put him down...again.

2: you start in the bar.

just like attack Eichenwalde (you've played it, don't lie) you start in the bar, and now instead of defending the castle

You're storming it.

you gotta make you way to the castle, but wait the castle doors...

D O O R S T U C K

3: whatcha gonna do?

get that big ol' ram, and break that door down is what.

so, you start in the bar, right, and fight through Zomnics, and make you way to the Ram, but...

T H E R E A P E R H A S A P P E A R E D, O H

A super powered up Reaper (not the ones in the base event) is defending the ram, and you gotta pop him and his Zomnics and take the ram for yourself

4: Making my way downtown.

you got the ram, and you're making your way to the castle.

you've just started going up the hill when, BOOM, the Dragon is there, big ol' Barrier prevents your passage, and you gotta get her in the ground to get moving again.

you take her on, she's poppin right clicks all day (no left clicks, that shit weak yo) and her Zomnics are stalling you to hell, you finally beat her, her barrier breaks and you move on.

5: T H E R E A P E R H A S A P P E A R E D (not this shit again)

you're busting through all the Zomnics you can see, they fall to you, GG EZ no RE

You're just about to break down the castle gate, when boom, Dead boy ain't done, he's back, stronger than ever.

so you kick the crap out of him again, tell him to drink his prune juice, and get rid of him, you're in the castle now

6: Junky is funky, oh, and his Monster is too

You're too late bucko, junkenstein did it, he's brought his monster back, and while you been bench pressing tryna get that ram up the hill, his Zomnics have been attacking the town yo.

But, you think you're gonna fight them now, why would Junkenstein fight with all his equipment around.

So, he calls upon his Waifu...i mean, his ally, the witch, to transport them to the town to assist in the pillaging and destruction.

so now you gotta haul your ass back to the town, fighting Zomnics along the way, ready for you final fight with Doc brown.

7: Nerf Junkrat, 2 OP

3 v 4, not hard right

Except you gotta fight against a super powered Monster, and Mad scientist, and a Witch.

so, what you waiting for, kick the crap out of them ,and get your sweet moneys from that ol' king!
