21d agowhen the other team gets 3 out of 5 post game awards...but your team has 0 deaths...and never even lost a tower
23d agowell have fun people, i have work to do. My business won't build itself.
23d agooh and then of course they report teh person calling them out for being "toxic" and get them banned.
23d agousually because someone said something the person in question didnt like, like calling poor gameplay choices out
23d agothe ego isnt "I am the best,and you are all shit" it is "I am going to be shit, and delibertly ruin it for all of you"
23d agobecause people know they can absolutely ruin the game and there is no chance their team can win if they do
23d agothat will have major long term consequences for microsoft.
23d agoI am glad Steam is moving inot the linux space and away from windows
23d agoI mean thye have a long history of launching "new" products they reverse engineered from smaller companies
23d agobut then they got greedy
23d agomore greedy
23d agoit was good for a long while
23d agowindows makes me mad. because they have a monopoly on the PC OS market, and abuse it to take advantage of consumers
23d agooh, and cloud storage is on by default for everything on the desktop
23d agothere have got to be a lot of older people with microsoft office, extra cloud storage, etc, that have no need for it, because windows updated then gave them a screen saying they should get it.
23d agoand every time windows updates they want to tell you they updated, and then try to trick people into paying for shit they dont need
23d agobut they want you to use cloud services so you can fillup that space and pay them for more storage
23d agoyeah, iots like, Why would i want to connect wirelessly for a massive data dump, when i am sitting at my PC with my phone?
23d agoI can still connect just fine to a windows 10 PC
23d agoit could before, but some sort of update broke the driver, or a setting and i spent a lot of time troubleshooting and never got it to work
23d agoI cant even connect my galaxy to my pc with USB because it can't figure out that it is a storage device
23d agono, i mean it shouldnt be breaking thrid party hardware because it decides the windows driver is better for your AMD card than the AMD driver
23d agobecause they use a driver system that prioritizes their drivers over the actual manufacturer drivers
23d agoyeah, windows is shit now
23d agoevery update breaks something
23d agoand i paid next to nothing for all 4
23d ago4 of them
23d agoI use all 1080p monitors
23d agomy perma ban opn my mainhots account was fromt ellign two different players to stop whining in spawn and play the fucking game...in back to back matches
23d agoinstead of people talking about how great they are tou get people whining and throwing tantrums
23d agoyou just get the opposite of other mobas
23d agoso is this one
23d agothe problem i have with dota is the games last too long
23d agoi was a dota player, and played dota 2
23d agoi cant speak on lol, because I have never played that
23d agoit makes for a ultimately frustrating gameplay loop where a serious player finds most of thier losses to be from bad teammates
23d agobut in hots you ahve shared xp, so they are holding you back in game, and you can not carry the game
23d agoand that is the hots problem, you get so many players without the will to play well, and they kill your team, but your rank is determined by their play
23d agopoint being though I would do the same thing in 2v2, and be successful at the contain and macro, then my teammate would leave because they didnt understand that we were wining
23d agobecause i knew how to lose the cannon rush but out macro the other player, and it doesnt really matter if my apm is shit if i have twice oyur unit count
23d agoyep i was a cannon rusher, but i macroed into skytoss behind it, and yes i beat diamond polayers with 4 to 5 times my apm
23d agomy rank was decided not by my own ability in team games, but my teammates ability, and that is true in hots as well
23d agolike in SC2 I was a plat player and ranking up with like a 60% wr, and I had no clue what countered what, with shit apm, but I was great at strategy, in 2v2 I was silver with about a 40% wr, because my teamamtes would just give up and leave a lot
23d agoit is not skill based, except in the sense of team skill which does not account for individual player skill
23d agoBecause SC2's ranking system is designed for 1v1 ranking based on strict w/l
23d agoso, they used shared xp...which would ahve been fine, if they had not rolled over SC2's ranking system
23d agobecause a good player could just...carry
23d agothere would be a "carry problem" without shared xp
23d agowhich was thier solution to the "carry problem"
23d agoshared xp
