    Fun fact: The orb of discord gives you a free three seconds of wallhax.

    Fun fact: Combining these to instantly wipe out somebody trying to flank you, thinking they're clever for dropping behind a wall, is by far the best thing in all of Overwatch.

    yeap, this is why I'm maining Zen right now! :D

    The Martian was a great book, that didn't translate to a moving picture as nicely as I'd hope it would. Checking his imdb credits is a trip, I don't know what he was thinking when he decided to make some of the movies he did.

    While it's true DPS heroes have more quantifiable ways of ranking up, there's other ways, I ranked up like CRAZY playing Zen, by doing something very simple: Calling out my discord orbs! I get a card at the end of the games, almost every single time, because you incentivize focused damage. Also trying to predict who your sniper or your 76 will be shooting at by giving him a boost is always good. Another example is that if you're a really good Zarya, successfully giving your mates shields can really help you as well, specially if they have a Roadhog.

    As for Puddy's question, I'd say always have your favourit hero, and really learn his strengths / weaknesses and master it. That said, it's very important to also master one hero in each of all 4 categories, your "main" might be already taken sometimes (or often, if it's a popular DPS hero like s76) and you might need to fill. Being able to adapt to comps is the best way to really get good at this game, eventually you'll have a "main" in each category, and that's the best place to be and you can swap heroes on the fly during the game with no problems. Specially if you're doing really well with a hero (For instance, say you're killing it as pharah, if the other team has half a brain, they're gonna counter you with one or even two hitscans), that's your queue to flip that around and counter the counters.

    Whenever i group with someone, i'd say i loose 3 or 4 out of 5 games on average. I don't know why, lol.

    So yeah, I basically solo queue all the time. It's fascinating the kinds of people you play with, and to see the patterns of personality of the people in plat/diamond/master.

    There's a lot of kids in plat, and weird "try hards" (sorry, i hate that term too), people don't comunicate as much, making soloing in this rank a bit hard. Getting to diamond things change vastly, you start playing with redditors and people that take comp very seriously and more than half the team comunicate, still the sporadic salty kid here and there but Diamond is a lot of fun to play.

    Master things start to get weird, pretty much every single person talks, sometimes there's 6 people talking on top of each other. But, everyone knows what they are doing, and winning a game in this rank feels like you won a medal. I love when we try to come up with tactics on the fly, adapt comps and the best is when you manage to conect 3 or 4 ults at once to bring down defense lines, you feel you're inside your team mates heads, and they're inside yours.

    Usually when I loose in masters (this applies to Diamond to a certain extent) is because of team toxicity. People get stuck in argument loops, "why is our zarya not shielding the monkey" or "player X is throwing, gg", shit like this completely destroys team morale, and it's hard to come out of it.

    Something else I noticed, 80% of the people playing in this rank are DPS players, no one ever wants to tank. Lol

    I have a love hate relationship with Prometheus man.

    It might be the only movie that I still didn't make my mind up on whether I like it or not, and I must have watched it like 3 or 4 times already. ahah

Some 'creepy' parts were such over the top CGI gore fests that people starting laughing. This movie is going to be so bad, it will make AVP: Requiem look like an Oscar contender.

    oh man :[

    Both these maps! <33333 Specially Carentan!

    I know those houses inside out! I hope this CoD goes back to the simplicity of CoD1 and 2.

    Like the good old days.

    Well, yeah, that's what you're getting here for sure! It's what everyone seems to want, I don't mind this either.

    I'd love to see some Philip K Dick shit like this actually. But I doubt... CoD is a mainstream game, it plays by a series of rule sets.

    Seems like it's what the fanbase wants tho... familiarity.
