Even though I bought a hard copy of MCC, Reach, ODST, and Halo 5, I bought MCC and Halo 5 again in digital just so I never have to get off the couch. ODST was free with MCC and I got Reach a long time ago as part of Games with Gold. Lazy wins!
You know it's funny you say this. I remember back in the Halo: Reach days that I received two warnings for 'spam'. Talking about over moderation, here's something that made me stop commenting and went back to lurking on ForgeHub in 2011. Spoiler I was a bad dude, I think one more I would have earned some prison time.
Dude just listen to any pro team/coach talk. You have no idea dude. You are mistaking skill floor for skill ceiling. If pulse bomb is so brain dead then why don't pro's hit 100% of them? Why is it that you have coaches from the best teams in the world talk about certain Tracers specifically as being terrifying and being the only Tracers they see doing certain things at a level that brings value. You have some of the better pro tracer's advice about sticking squishies being, throw it and pray. I'll say it again skill floor does not equal skill ceiling. I don't think I have ever seen you say something that actually expresses this though. So I am not surprised you don't understand it.
Holy crap I remember when forgehub was super picky about putting effort into posts like that ahaha you'd get infractions all the time lol. Yeah the moderation here during h3/reach was crazy --- Double Post Merged, Jun 2, 2017 --- No one is mistaking skill floor from skill ceiling. Tracers guns aren't that hard to use. Just press your face into an enemies back and then hold the trigger. All her skill comes from her positioning and always having a dash up
No you definitely are. Your responses continue to back this up. Being able to maximize her movement while maximizing aim is something only a few players can an actually do consistently because of how much APM it actually requires compared to everyone else and pulse bombs. You guys have just thrown the basics out of how to approach playing Tracer. (A character that I have a ton of time invested in. More than both of you combined probably. I think I trust the opinion of people who play this game at a high level for a living over someone in gold. Also, Phara is easy as **** to play on console because most people can't play hitscan and the Mercy epidemic that has been a thing on console from the beginning. I also remember seeing a stat where she was one of the most common characters for people to climb out of Plat with. That was kind of old though. I know she was not in the high level competitive meta at that time though.
So all in all, you can see why I hate moderation that heavily because it turns into stuff like this. Hopefully with the addition of having @Dunco on board, who visits this thread more, it may help having someone around to help mitigate issues from ever going overboard. So please understand we're trying a different angle at all of this moderation. What has happened over the past several months hasn't been the best and I am pleased that we're going to have someone else help out. Especially having someone who see's things differently than I, that could potentially alleviate most of the moderation issues that we have been having. This is for everyone else here, if you're frustrated with how moderation has been and are wanting to make things better. Please send me a message, would love to chat further. And if you're wanting to be like @Dunco and become a mod, also send me a message.
You're the man I don't really care what ow pros say Pros are good at the game that doesn't mean they know what theyre talking about Any character with slow moving projectiles is going to be inherently more difficult than hitscan what world are you in. Andhow much time you have on the game is irrelevant to me. I've had the game for less than a season, and I really doubt youre that good at it honestly considering your general skill in every other game I've seen you play. There's a reason people who generally suck at most games swear they're amazing at overwatch lol it's because a majority of the roster isn't hard to use. Tracer takes skill but it's not mechanical skill. What are you talking about with actions per minute She has like 4 possible actions and half of them are on cool downs AHAHAHAHA there's a LITERAL HARD CAP on what you can do with her lmao. I could probably do the math on what that actual cap is pretty easily
