I have no idea how servers for games work, but why wouldn't they let people in the beta if they preorder when so many would buy it right now?
I'm just going with the logic of -they want money- that's it.
>>121723041
It will be sad yes
Most people wouldn't waste a buck on a game, yet alone 40$
It's the best for the game, as it will stop hackers and retards from playing it and will also give you, you know, the whole game?

Would anyone even believe Blizzard if they straight-up said
>Here's our total business model from now until the end of time. We're gonna launch at $40. We're going to release new heroes and maps every six months to a year, and they will be free. We will continue doing this for eight years, and we will completely ignore any new developments over the course of the game's existence and growth.
>>121723937
Probably just email all of them. One of them should be able to flag you.

You have good tastes, fellow anon.
>>121722960
Because making the game have a server executable with which you can start a server for your friends or people living close to you is a hard thing.
Does Reinhardt's hammer do the regular 50 melee damage or does it do more?

Yes, let Overwatch keep it's clean playerbase of amerifat retards and blizzdrones

I suppose.
Any idea where I could find their emails?

Here's a list of auto-aims in Overwatch.
Soldier 76 ultimate
Mccree ultimate
Reaper ultimate
Winston primary gun
Symmetra primary gun & turrets
Torbjorn turret
Roadhog chain (aim assist)
Here's a list of offensive effects or attacks which aren't auto-aim but you essentially cannot miss with them no matter how bad you are.
Bastion turret gun
Reaper primary guns
Tracer primary guns
Reinhardt primary melee
Zenyatta orb of discord
Winston ultimate
Pharah ultimate
Roadhog primary
Roadhog ultimate
Zarya ultimate
Tracer ultimate
Mei primary
Mei ultimate
Genji ultimate
D.Va primary
D.Va ultimate
Additionally, almost every character has a skill that negates all positional mistakes. For example: caught on the ground as the rocketess Pharah? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly in the sky, where you're most effective.
Ran yourself into a bad spot as the fragile but swift Tracer? No problem, just press this easy button and you're instantly back where you were before.
Got caught in the open as the close-range slugger Reaper? Just press your invulnerability button and float over to a healthkit. You get this and many other movement tools completely free, there's nothing you give up for them, like sacrificing health with a rocket-jump.
The tools Overwatch gives you to solve problems are contained in a single, brainless button rather than a complex and difficult set of movements and/or offensive measures. The entire game revolves around identifying the correct rock-paper-scissors situation to press your button, then pressing it. There is no serious skill of any kind involved. You're going through the motions of what you think a video game entails.
The miniscule difference between a week-old Overwatch player and a year-old Overwatch player will be lost in the cloud of instakill ultimates, teleports and AOE abilities. This game is transcendentally shit, and there is no escape from it. This is the very profitable future of FPS. Hell. Population: you.
>>121724347
well lately Mei have been shitting up a lot. despite knowing its the few the that speaks the loudest.
>>121724464
It looks like early 76 concept or maybe just a random overwatch agent.
>Overwatch may be boring and shallow as an FPS game on account of all of the 'canned skill' abilities eliminating the impact of mechanical skill, but as a strategy game it's good! Just look at how many characters there are, and how many abilities! Surely that leads to good strategy gameplay.
Makes sense until you consider that Overwatch is trying to pretend it's an FPS game, not a strategy game. All of the ways in which Overwatch is different from other real time strategy games (the camera, the pace, the lack of resources to fight over) are flaws.
Let's consider Overwatch's strategy merit compared to another the-player-controls-one-unit strategy game like DOTA. Each player has ~3 skills and an ultimate, so there's parity there.
But the camera perspective isn't top-down, it's first person. This makes zero sense for a strategy game and inhibits the player's ability to get an overall picture of what's going on. The controls also make it impossible for the player to ever control more than one unit, like they sometimes do in DOTA.
There are no map resources to fight over - as a strategy game, the only strategic element is the win condition. You cannot have such a lopsided 'strategy' game ever be interesting by its strategic merit.
Overwatch is shit as either an FPS game or a strategy game.

The issue with Roadhog as a tank character (and we're talking as a tank not a character in general) is that while his pull is strong as fuck and his damage is good there is really nothing that he provides to a team being a TANK outside of that.
When you look at the giant list of assfaggot characters the ones with the hook are always thought to be the big game changes but in practice it's only if they have the hook and really good CC outside of the hook (shit like Pudge from DotAor Blizt from LoL) or team assist (prenerf Khepri) that make them great for team fights. What makes Roadhog scary is that he has the hook displacement and he's able to kill you by himself (as you've stated) but that doesn't actually make him any different than any other assassin. Widowmaker shooting you across the map is a harder punish than Roadhog and any assassin character getting behind your line is more punishing than Roadhog.
But as a tank there's nothing. The hook punish isn't as bad in Overwatch with the crazy movement in than in comparable assfaggot games and then he's no tank outside of the high HP and self heal. He doesn't provide any sort of shield or protection for his team and the idea that "he's annoying so kill him first" is also applied to every single damage dealing character in the game.
It's the same reason we've seen DVA suffer. Neither are providing tank assistance to the team and the reason to kill them are basically "maybe we kill them because maybe they land the hook/nuke and then that's sucks because we'll die" when you have Bastion or Winston or Reinhardt (who admittedly not the best) and it's "we have to kill them because if we don't then we never get to kill the rest of their team but hey they're hard to kill shit".
His hook is big (and fun to use) but it's not even as punishing on position and it's his high burst damage that's his only real saving grace.
>>121724347
Mei and D.va seem to take that prize atm

>>121724834
d.va has that move which deletes projectiles though. That negates a lot of powerful ults if timed correctly.
>>121725071
Then Hanzo would also have to be a grillwhich someone should make right now
>>121724834
>he's annoying so kill him first
I agree, he's not as direct in allowing squishy damage dealers to push with him like Reinhardt or Zarya, but that's the thing. He's super hard to kill first.
You can drive him off momentarily and get some breathing room from his fat ass, but it's relatively easy for him to get away and come back, 300 health stronger. So that's a ton of damage and aimtime that's redirected at Roadhog, that he can essentially continue soaking up indefinitely, as long as he paces his health.
>>121724347

I do work in networked infrastructure.
Blizzard already made a server build because the game runs on something. Giving it to the players to help the load is not a hard thing. Look at every other game which is not bent on milking the customers, it has server executable, for example: Valve games, pre-matchmaking Call of duty, etc. Matchmaking is a hell which should not exists on PC, because it removes the need for communities and make the company invest more in the infrastructure instead of letting people with a common interest build a Community.
>>121724507
Some 2.5 - third-world countries, for example Slovakia and Hungary have better overall Internet coverage, speed and quality than most of the non-metropolital areas of the USA.
This is due to historical reasons: while in America you drove or horse-rode to the nearest town for a call or a telegram, Hungary installed telephone lines literally everywhere and because of this, stable Internet access was already an every household thing around 2000, with almost 5 Mbps link. Currently, the average household speed in rural Hungary is 60 Mbps and 300 Mbps in the cities.
>>121725723
I mean, what else do you think it is, dude? It's a strategy game where you control one unit that has three skills, an ultimate and an autoattack.
It's literally DOTA but casual and masquerading as an FPS and nowhere as good. Not that DOTA is good.
>>121724135
Reinhardt, Roadhog and Genji all do more base melee damage.
>>121725201
I don't agree with specific comparison but they're going to happen regardless. As a shooter it's very clearly more comparable to TF2 in terms of objective gameplay and just gameplay overall than it is to any other shooter. The MOBA shit makes no sense when talking about a lot of shit in the game but Overwatch is still a shooter with "a bunch of characters that individually might not have a lot of shit but hey look here's a ton you can pick every game" and has ultimates.
The weird thing is that Monday Night Combat is literally the same shit Overwatch is but instead of a TF2 objective based game it's a standard MOBA objective based game but nobody ever talks about it. Incidentally that game went to shit when they added a cast of like 20 fucking characters but whatever.
>>121725250
I hate the fucking pink hair so fucking much. The quick shop of her with blonde hair and the standard soviet deep red looks so much fucking better god what a shame that a simple choice of colors ruins an otherwise whatever character.

>>121725439
>It's not an fps, fps skills don't matter
If you're playing a character like Symmetra or Torbjorn, yeah. You're going to get your shit pushed in if you can't aim for shit and you're playing 76/Tracer/McCree/Mei
>b-but muh ults
Which will barely charge if you can't ever do any fucking damage in the first place, and the other team is going to overwhelm you with their ults because they're ACTUALLY doing damage.
>Any game that involves strategy is basically a MOBA
yeah you fuck I'm definitely playing a MOBA when I play Medic/Engie/Heavy in TF2 since that class requires 0 aim, jesus fucking christ.
>>121725963
Genji's ult does at least 150 damage, it one shots Tracer/Zenyatta
>Genderbent Zarya
Would anything even change?
>>121726061
>You're going to get your shit pushed in if you can't aim for shit and you're playing 76/Tracer/McCree/Mei
The fact that skillbased classes (and really, they are not that skillbased - every one has an autoaim or autopositioning skill, tracer's cone of fire is enormous, same with mei) means nothing when the non-skill-based classes overshadow them utterly. Shield classes are dominant in Overwatch.

>>121725928
No, this is absolutely ridiculous. This is like calling War of The Monsters an ASSFAGGOT because each character has their own unique model, moveset and stats. If you said this you'd be called a retard, it's a party brawler.
Likewise a fighting game is not an ASSFAGGOT because it has varying characters with unique abilities, and Overwatch is not one either, it's an FPS.

You're saying not having community servers is a bad thing?
I played TF2 for years and there is nothing more annoying than "community servers" of which most make you download some cancer before you can jump in and play, and this is the case with most custom servers.
At some point, I just want to play the fucking game.
>Look at every other game which is not bent on milking the customers
So custom servers somehow means the company isn't milking me?
I see no relation.
Also, I don't know if you're aware, but even hearthstone doesn't want to start sometimes, due to too many people playing and the screen says "Wait 2 mins"
That's just how Blizzard works so you're plain wrong but I already think you know that.

>non-skill-based classes overshadow them utterly
Thanks for telling me you haven't played the game, because McCree is ridiculously OP. Headshots do 170 damage from across the map and if you can aim you're going to go on 20 killstreaks with him, and the vast vast majority of those aren't going to be with IT'S HIIIIIGH NOOOOON which makes you walk slow as shit and makes you glow to pain a big "please shoot me" sign on you.
Also if you can't use Mei's ult fire which requires you to aim you're not going to be very effective with her since any midrange character will shut you down.

you have literally 0 insight on how the game servers are set up HLDS is able to be distributed because it's a single fucking executable on 15 year old engine, and cod's the same with a 30 year old engine.
If you don't work for a AAA game's server team where the engine is developed completely in house, your experience isn't relevant, sorry.

Also no one can fucking play and you can only watch so much of one game before you get sick of it.
>>121727513
maybe he thinks it's a good game?
>>121725396
While I can appreciate that side to his role I'm still not really feeling it.
If you have some hyper mobile fuck like Tracer or Genji (and he's is just going off gameplay from Blizcon) get behind your backline then you're diverting a lot of resources to go catch those fuckers because you're now going in reverse to rectify the fact that you're being shot up.
The self-heal is strong on Roadhog but due to his nonexistent mobility you're only ever going to ideally be up to the most heavily contested zone and when I was up against an entire time I got squashed by sheer damage. Sure in 1v1 I was unkillable going in and out of doorways but at the same time I'm confident I would have been better off doing something else beyond dueling someone in the middleground.
Again just based of my shitter experience of a few games I thought he was a good character if only for the high damage (and I like the idea presented earlier about him being heavy assault). But his qualities as a tank to round off a team aren't enough imo.
I think what it ultimately comes down to are future maps as more than anything he's going to need map advantage more than any other "tank".
>>121727568
>this is TF2 for people who are bad at TF2.
Valve better watch out Blizz is going to steal 90% of tf2 player base.
>>121727289
And how is the game engine of overwatch made in terms of networking?
I'm pretty sure every client is connected to a single game server after the matchmaking system puts people together, so there is no reason for it not to be designed like how every other company designed their servers and engines in the past, how many exactly?, 30 years?!
>>121727596
Did you fucking see his videos on it?
It's beyond liking something it's weird how he acts, and I see no reason behind it.
Why would he shill it so much?
>>121727568
Sounds about right
He played so much tf2 it must feel like a godsend to be able to switch to a new game people will watch him talk over + it's a lot more easy and he gets to be good at it
Genji was planned over a year ago

im sure no one actually believes that anon.

>Ster is bad at TF2
Star is like sub-competitive level. He wrecks high level pubs but is just under the bar to play professionally. He is by no means "bad" at all.
Hey 4chan!
Russian /owg/ (2ch.hk) asks for help:
Would you really buy game or you'll see coming of 2nd Titanfall.
Could you vote please here?
http://www.strawpoll.me/5951000Yes, I'm still interested in votes.
Picrelated - russian /owg/ opinion.
1. HE КУПИЛ И HE БУДУ - Not gonna buy at all (64 votes)
2. MБ КУПЛЮ, ECЛИ БЛИЗЗAPД OБPAЗУMИTCЯ - Maybe, if blizzard doesn't fucks shit up (64 votes)
3. КУПИЛ - Bought (24 votes)
>>121727915
Of course they have more plans for heroes. Probably they are waiting to see if anyone actually buys the game with their $40 paywall
>>121727915
Wrong picture
>>121727915
>>People actually believe this
Except no one does, Blizzard just said they're sitting on 21 for a bit.
>>121727915
There's probably several cases of heroes that got scrapped at the concept phase or even half-way through development, or redesigned into something that there's no concept art for.
>>121727913
Again, maybe he just likes it that much. Did he gain popularity when he started doing Overwatch? because it might just be pandering. Of course, he might be a shill too.
>>121727915
That looks like a sexy robo woman to me
>We're getting a Bubblegum Crisis-like character
UNF
>>121727568
I wouldn't say he's bad at TF2 but he's definitely not top-tier.
And I also agree that he seems a bit shill-y lately, at least that's what I got from his last Overwatch video.
>>121728124
Fucking neo blizzard

>>121727764
There is no reason apart from management or finance decision not to give the ability for the players to host servers for their own.
It keeps the company in control (until someone breaks the code and makes a server for himself) because they can always shut you off from the game for any reason they deem necessary.
Csgo also has ranked matchmaking and official severs and there are unofficial ones you can host for yourself. This is true for Dota and tf2. Payday and borderland use the peer to peer-ish local client natpunch model where one player is crowned "host" and apart from sometimes horrendous trip times it is sufficient if there is a proper playerbase, which for bl2, is not. (at least not in official matchmaking, you can play with many people over VPN emulators like Hamachi or Tunngle)
>>121727764
Clients stay connected to multiple servers.
There's a login server, lobby server, matchmaking server, and instance server (plus others that i'm not going to go into). Instance servers do direct account modifications (storing information about player bests etc). Blizzard's been historically a very closed system company. They don't like having people report data back to them; having to not have the MM/Lobby server's be IP whitelisted, exposing them to general public is a bad idea in general.
Also allowing for servers to only be spun up interally allows for a better user experience; how many times have you joined some shitty gmod server with 80000 files that could barely run? Having them dynamically allocated based on user count w/ something like amazon EC2 servers is a much better solution than spreading out server binaries to every shitskin
>>121728236
>That looks like a sexy robo woman to me
>>We're getting a Bubblegum Crisis-like character
>UNF
im okay with this, im getting my eva fix now that too??
So, for you motherfuckers who don't have beta access and haven't been to Blizzcon, who looks the most fun to play?
>>121727915
Nobody believes that, that's where all the assrage is coming from. Because everyone knows Blizzard has more heroes in the works.
>>121728092
>high level pubs
hilarious
>>121728727
I'm liking the looks of Pharah and Bastion so far.
>>121727513
He's just that sick of TF2 and wants a high quality class-based shooter.
He was trying Dirty Bomb etc. before
>>121728727
i dont fuckin know, i dont even have consoles/pc
>>121728727
hanzo/genji
>>121728194
This
Concepts get scrapped all the time shit like this >>121728124
doesn't mean anything it's just concept art
Fucking idiots
>>121728425
Except nobody bothers with customs servers in dota or cs:go
Who cares? I'm buying the game to play it, I don't want to sit and download 2 gigs of some shitty skin someone put on their server just so I can play the fucking game I bought.
Also, in tf2 there's disgusting shit like skial servers where people can literally pay to have god-mod one you fucking retard
Do you play PAYDAY 2?
Cuz I do, a ton, and peer to peer is terrible, always been.
Stop acting like customs servers are that important, sure they're nice but they're mostly cancer that spams you shit in the chat
>>121727915
Literally nobody believes that and the issue is that Blizzard themselves refuse to admit more are coming?
Why would you refuse to admit you have more heroes planned for your game? Could it be because they will cost more money and that's a big turn off for some (most) customers?
>>121728727
Lucio's walljumping/high mobility look like it could be fun.
>>121728740
They obviously don't want to talk about anything because their community is retarded. Have you ever been to MMO champion?
If a developer ever says anything, it has to go into the game and it can never change according to the people there.
If they talked about a hero, fans would get upset if it needs to be redesigned/removed due to balance or user experience.
True self is without form /owg/

It all makes sense now...

>>121728331
I havent seen STAR act like he has in those last 2 overwatch videos in a while I dont like it.
I honestly hate serious STAR I remember when he would actually make informative TF2 videos I was always thought he was a faggot until he started making videos for other games.
>>121727946
Pub shitter detected.
>>121729051
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0rtY7lQ3Jvs
>>121728124
>>121729265
thing is, he's not good at games
he can entertain if he does silly videos, but other than that he just makes garbage
not to mention a lot of his stuff is mooching off jerma's charisma
>>121729235
You do realize Japanese dragons look the same, right?
>>121729405
21 looks like they're wearing a suit similar to Reinhardt's, you can see it in the helmet especially.
ROADHOG LOOKS SO FUCKING FUN HOLY SHIT
>>121729405
i really want 23
>>121729570
He looks scared.
>>121729405
It's safe to say if any character looks like an ordinary grizzled white person with a gun in a blue Overwatch uniform, they're just a mook and they're thoroughly unlikely to be made into a hero.
So 16, 20 22, 24, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33 and 34 are all pretty much scrubbed off the list. I'd also exclude the characters with jump-packs, since we already have Pharah.
>>121729338
i have played tf2 competitively since the 4k dominated yurop, pandemic dominated na and 4chan sucked gurk's balls
tf2 was an extremely easy game and its even easier now
>>121728846
With how popular McCree and Widowmaker are, Pharah isn't as fun as I thought she would be. Very situational compared to some other heroes as well.
On the other hand, Bastion is way more enjoyable than I initially thought. People are rarely able to deal with Sentry mode and being a tank is just fun.
>>121728930
Hanzo... is just underwhelming. He's quite literally badWidowmaker. His ult is one of the worst as well. The hero I'm most disappointed in.
Genji, I'm not at Blizzcon so I don't know.
>>121729005
Seems like the most fun of the support heroes, but I just don't enjoy those in general.
>>121729405
2 different silhouettes are marked as Symmetra
>>121730062
Sure thing bud.
>>121729405
>tfw no 17

>>121729948

???
>>121729405
Double swords better make it in
Torbjörn looks like shit
Boring to play, useless on top of that.
Why can't any sentry based hero every be fun in any game ever?
sigh*
>>121730090
you're at a really MMR bro, sorry to say
bastions probably the worst hero in the game
pharah's extremely strong w 120 damage rockets, can be mercy boosted to 180
hanzo's strange, the head hitbox for his arrows is way larger than it is for the rest of the heroes, or the projectile is larger, it's very easy to land headshots with him, which do a retard amount of damage (more than widowmaker)
>>121730115
because all the silhouettes have the exact same pose. 29 is obviously an early soldier 76 concept but this may have been made before his reveal.
>>121729405
>23 is referred to as "Sexy Robot"
Damn straight
>>121729405
I think it's pretty safe to say that 31, 29 and 16 are all proto-soldier 76.
Black Ops 3 is actualy pretty good in lieu of beta. You get flying jumps like Pharah, wallrunning like Lucio, and reverse time like the lesbian.
>>121730273
There's a difference between the boosters on the mech and literal jump-packs exactly like Pharah's, as seen on 21 and 30.
If we're likely to see any character atll from these, my guesses would probably be 25 and 23, if they haven't already been folded into existing characters.
>>121730631
>like the lesbian
Stop
>>121730461
>MMR
None of that matters with the current state of McCree desu.
>>121730481
There isn't even a silhouette marked 29
>>121730461
>MMR meme
>blizzard games
blizzard's matchmaking is a fucking joke for real
I'll give a screenshot of the next time I play HOTS and get 2-3 ranks 1s in my game
>>121730461
>bastions probably the worst hero in the game
That's Torbjorn, Bastion is actually good for pub stomping.
>>121730728
>None of that matters with the current state of McCree desu.
It's okay, he's already been confirmed for inc nerfs.
are there Roadhog doujins yet?
>>121729405
29. Salute looks a lot like 16. Red Goggles
>>121730925
Wonder what they're going to nerf.
I hope it's not his long range capabilities, but it's probably going to be that.
When's Fumigator?
>>121731132
Maybe a damage dropoff for him at long ranges
>>121731050
Widowmaker's ultimate will absolutely be changed, it's far too game breaking.
>>121731132
They mentioned he was great in all 3 ranges and that needed to change.
Didn't mention any details but did mention how they were surprised when they'd get one-shot from across the map then find out it was McCree, assuming it was Widowmaker.
>>121731196
Maybe it should be only for her, then she can pot or mark enemies in her line of sight that the rest of the team can then see
>>121731158
Fumigator probably got folded into another character or discarded.
>>121728124
The circled hero behind McCree is obviously an early Pharra design.
>>121730728
mccree isn't very good, all the tanks shit on him super hard, he doesn't do enough damage per shot unless he's power boosted
>>121730925
he's going to be completely worthless once DVA and genji release, they both counter him hard
he's already way too weak against tanks and a lot of other damage characters
the further nerfs are going to make him completely unplayable
>>121730862
different teams work on both of the games
>>121730924
they're both bottom tier garbage that nobody whose had the game for more than a week plays
if you've watched any of the dev matches, their comp is always zarya roadhog winston mercy lucio (pharah|widowmaker|tracer)
>>121731050
nice
>>121731332
Personally I think it should be changed to some kind of "weak spot detector" for the entire team where she highlights random points of the entire enemy team's bodies and you deal extra damage for hitting them.
>>121731332
Wait, the entire team can see the enemy with her ult?
>>121731434
What the fuck are you doing talking about the game?
Not in this general.
>>121731434
>McCree isn't very good
Hahaha, look at this shitter
>>121731434
>McCree
>weak
>>121731434
>mccree isn't very good
stopped reading there, you have no idea what you're talking about
>>121731196
>>121731332
It should be shown to the enemy that Widowmaker ulti is active during it's whole duration.
>>121731482
That'd be good
>>121731489
And yeah once her wallhack is up your entire team can see the enemy
>>121731434
>>121731434
>different teams work on both of the games
yeah, but they both use the SC2 Matchmaker right now, which is shit for anything that's not 1v1
>>121731489
Yep, for like ten seconds.
>>121731050
Ooooooooh, so the way to get in the beta is by being braindead, got it!
>>121731618
>>121731605
>>121731596
Sorry you've had the game for a week and literally have 0 idea what the actual balance is
>>121731640
No, they don't?
If I email Blizzard and tell them I have cancer, will I get into the beta?
Whenever I kill one of the waifus in the game I always imagine my bullets are orgasm inducing chemical darts and their death cries are actually mind wiping orgasms that leave them breathless for the respawn timer. Or orgasm inducing neuron pulses if it's an energy weapon.
Anybody else think like this?
>>121731618
Kinda like McCree's glow? Or a voice clip that you can hear across the map like Pharah
>>121731735
>Sorry you've had the game for a week and literally have 0 idea what the actual balance isNo more (You)s for (You)
>>121731618
>It should be shown to the enemy that Widowmaker ulti is active during it's whole duration.
Yeah that would be cool, you can already hear her activate her ulti and count 10 seconds anyways so it's not like it's unpredictable bullshit at the moment anyways.
>>121731735
Sorry you've had the game for 2 weeks and think you know more than the devs who've played it for more than year, you're a retard mate. Devs already said McCree is too strong and will be nerfed, just stop making yourself look dumb already
>>121731776
>not posting the new version
>>121728124
>>121729405
>People claiming concept art on this picture when everyone in this picture that is also in the game looks exactly like how they're portrayed here
Also
>Billion dollar company reveal trailer for a new IP
>Putting concept art in it
>>121731735
yes they do
there's a bunch of shit going on in HOTS right now because their MM-er is shit and they're having to make a new one
given how lazy the dev teams are around blizzard, I would bet anything that overwatch uses the SC2 MM-er as well, only when it reaches the "IDK lol" phase, it dumps you into a map for DM and it starts over
>>121731776
>>121731921
what the fuck is this shit
