Typical Overwatch game

General Discussion
1

Team 1:

  • 8 year old from egypt or rural russia, connecting to EU, playing on his dad’s old potato laptop, has massive lag, bronze dps
  • 40-something dude, casual gamer, just got back from work, completely drunk, playing hog or dva
  • IRL couple who play dps + mercy casually, they peaked in low gold
  • Korean high schooler in an internet cafe, slept 3 hours last night, easily outperforming everyone while chatting with his friends
  • None of them using a mic

Team 2:

  • 24 year old NEET sweatlord with a 3000 dollar setup, 15000 hours in shooter games, playing spambot 76 or sojo, heart rate 150 bpm, subvocalizing “UNF!!! GET F’D, I’M SO G-DAMN GOOD AT VIDEOGAMES!!!” every time he kills the 8-year old
  • 3 of his pro gamer online friends, hand-picked by him for optimal team composition, everyone in voice comms
  • And not stacking with them: Girl gamer skin collector with 300 hours in the game, who gets reported by the sweatlord and his friends when team 1 clutches the win

You’re wrong. They do use a mic.

[rapid clicking]
[unintelligible Russian on TV]
“Whee… whee…!” [snort]
[distant dog barking]
[wobbly ceiling fan noises]
“Baaaabe, rez me!”
“I can’t, I’m dead. I’m sooorryyyy…”
[more rapid clicking]
“Убей его! Убей синего парня!”
[more distant dog barking]
“Юрий, выпусти собаку!”
“Мама, я занят!”
“HelpmehelpmehelpmeAAH!!!” [laughing]
[more ceiling fan noises]
“내 커피는 어디있지…”
*BEEEEEEEELCH!
“뭐야!?”
“Sorry guys. I am so… effing… drunk right now.”
[more dog barking]
“Юрий!”
“Хорошо! Я иду!”
“Wait, camp the rez, camp the rez!”
“OMG!!! D.VA!!!”
“What… what I do?”
“Holy crap, I think we won! We won!”
“Мы выиграли?”
“멋진. GG”
“내 커피는 어디갔지!?”

Hah, fun post!

I’m a mix between the 40 year old done with work and the 4 stack of friends lol. Except I don’t drink so I can’t use drunk as my excuse.

And our stack are all dude between 38-56 so our mechanical skills are garbage. And we’re all busy talking about bills and life and NFL and everything but the game, so we only usually communicate after it’s too late (“DPS just killed your heals in the back…”)

And the “add” we complain about is usually 2-10 with 1k damage as DPS. Or if it’s 6v6 it’s probably the married couple, one of which is on console sucking horribly.

I played a comp game back in ow1, was hanamura.

There was a 9 yr old boy, super innocent talking to the team. His dads muffled voice in the back ground and dog barking. Saying he’s on his dad account. Asking if he could try his widow, we all said go for it. We supported this cute little buddy.

Kid was basically a server admin. Carried us while so humble but excited.
