[OOC] Ashes Beneath the Burning Sun

@Ambiguity

I really enjoyed Blizzards use of NPCs in Junkenstein's Revenge. I think it'd be awesome to get another mode like that eventually.

And yes, I think we can skip forward to the arrival of the Swiss Forces the day of their deployment. When I get the chance to respond later, I'll move things along. :)

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones Yup! I enjoyed that too. It totally fits Junkrat and Roadhog for sure. I had so much fun with that game mode. I was so sad to see Mercy betraying me like that though :[!

Sounds good to me! Back into the action. I have some surprises planned for us too!

@Ambiguity

Sombra's animated short is out! It's so awesome! I watched it first thing when I woke up. She looks so cool.

I'll get a reply up in the RP sometime within the next few hours. Don't know if I'll be busy at work or not.

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

Post up for you. It's a little rushed since I'm at work, but I hope it's alright!

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones

I'll have to check out that short soon! Went out to eat yesterday.

Your post was marvelously juicy! I enjoyed reading it very much. Mine's not as long, but I hope it's okay!

@Ambiguity

I think I'm obsessed with Sombra a little bit. I've watched some gameplay videos from Blizzcon, and oh my lord is she even more troll than Mei. She's going to be the #1 most annoying hero to deal with. Thus far it seems she's countered by D.Va, 76, and McCree.

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones I'll have to go look her up in a moment!

Sorry for the rather small response. I had a writing fart :[!

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

It's no problem! I don't mind. :)

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

Have you seen the Pharah buff they're testing on the PTR? She's getting an increase to the amount her hover jet can go, so she can stay in the air indefinitely if the player manages their fuel decently. Pretty excited for it.

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones

I did see that! My comp group was actually talking about that last night. I'm really excited about that. Though I'm a really crappy Pharah though. But at least she can actually fly now!

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

I'm really excited about this upcoming patch. It's gonna make some much-needed changes and really improve the game. I played o the PTR the other day; the two new modes are a lot of fun. Both of them rely a lot on individual skill, so they're good places to improve your 1v1 potential, even in the 3v3 mode.

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones

Oh I'm really excited for arcade mode as well. Also the buff to Pharah. Oh it's going to be good! Also, I need Sombra in my life. And the non-hero doubling thing too. Fuck multiple Bastions and Mei's in one game.

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

And it's not like the people who like to do hero stacking can complain; No Limits mode is all for them.

Oh, and now people can't say "omg dude chill it's just QP not like it's competitive or anything", because QP will be practice for competitive. I'm sure people will still trollpick with hero limits, but it should be less prevalent. Hopefully the trolls will migrate to the No Limits queue.

Now, if people take No Limits seriously, that's when there's an issue. I understand people not taking the current QP seriously because it's really the only place to screw around outside of Custom Games (and let's face it, trolls don't have enough friends to fill a Custom lobby). But now there's a place for everyone, and then some. I'm reeaally gonna get into the 3v3 mode, I just know it.

And fuck Mei.

Such a frustrating hero.

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

My post wound up being way longer than I thought it was gonna be. It was really flowing, I guess.

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones

Yeah let them go do that. That's actually one reason why I don't QP that much anymore.

I feel you. Hopefully this update will fix all of that. Cause I do like to try new heroes in QP that I'd probably use in comp. I just can't ever do that due to people always trolling or duplicating heroes. It's so frustrating. AI playing is kind of bland once you start comp haha!

Mei is awesome on your team, sucks if she isn't.

It was a really good post! I wish I could match your length, but I couldn't :[!

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

Yeah. I play QP and Comp about equally, just because sometimes I don't like to risk my rank. I'm really exciting for this upcoming competitive season. I'm happy being in Plat, but I guess they screwed up the algorithm for placements this season and people were placed higher than they should be, however, I started off in low gold and solo'd my way to plat. It was a hell of a struggle.

I just want my golden hammer, but I'm nowhere near 3000 points. I'm at like 1000.

Don't worry about matching post length! I just get really into my responses sometimes. :)

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones

I feel you! I was so close to plat, but I've plateaued at gold for now. I'm hoping to get up there next season. I want my golden staff or rifle. But 3,000 for each? My god. I'll have to accrue a heck of a lot of wins. Seriously.

I feel you. Posted right back at ya :]!

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

How are you doing? Enjoying the changes to Overwatch? I know I definitely am. And as expected, I'm beyond into 3v3 Elimination. And 1v1. I usually win 3v3, but lose 1v1. I guess I need a team to carry me. Or I just need to get better at Symmetra vs Symmetra in 1v1. :P

[Ambiguity]

@Dewey Deftones

I'm really enjoying it! Especially the mayhem mode. Where HP is doubled and cooldown is near eliminated for abilities. It's a great way to just kick it!

Haven't tried no limits though. Not going to for a while I think. I can't deal with duplicates.

[Dewey Deftones]

@Ambiguity

Yeah, sometimes it's great to just go nuts. Ever gone to space with Junkrat? Just repeatedly toss your concussion mine below you and you pretty much become Pharah.

No limits is just old QP, so I don't even play it. I like the new QP better. Much less Sombra.
