**2016 Video Game Thread**
QUOTE (shysocks @ May 12, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) This is true - he isn't an option in high level games and he has a lot of counters (Genji, Reaper, Pharah, Roadhog, even Symmetra can at least move him). But in pubs he was too disruptive, and the problem is the skill ceiling is so low with him. If I stroll around a corner and get taken out by Widowmaker, fine, she had to aim and probably headshot me to get that kill. If there's a Bastion sitting there holding left mouse, it's another story. Torbjorn is a much more interesting hero for that role because you have to think carefully about where you want to place his turret, and then level it up Didn't ruin the game for me though, not even close. I had a good time in the few games I played with Torbjorn. Most of my games were against AI simply because I didn't know any of the characters. So we dominated of course, but he has a fun play style for defense.

Finally someone is paying attention to expiration dates. So many stores just don't care how old a beer is.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ May 11, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) I believe the matchmaking system places you in games with people of a similar "level" as you. So if you only play occasionally, you're not going to be in games against people who play 10 hours a day. You're right, I'm just paranoid because I used to play League of Legends a little bit and when I got into level 20+ I started drawing Bronze and Silver opponents sometimes, and I'd just get gg rekt m8. There is a steep learning curve to that game so it made me just want to create smurf accounts to play against people who suck as much as I do.

QUOTE (shysocks @ May 10, 2016 -> 11:25 AM) They did have a mode that picked a random hero for you after each death, which is just total chaos. I had a blast with the beta. Not all the characters were for me but they all feel unique and you can easily see the way each one can dominate a match in the right conditions, how they counter each other, etc. It's a very impressive game. There were some moments that sent me into storm of curse words, like you allude to a little. Most of them involved dying to Bastion, who is basically a character designed to sit in a corner and hit a key/button to spit high-damage laser-accuracy death at everyone. f*** that. You could tell that Bastion is overpowered. Almost every game a Bastion dominated. I'm guessing he'll get nerfed before release.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 10, 2016 -> 09:42 PM) I worry about his stuff being way down from last year. He really doesn't even look like the same guy without his big slider Your concern is valid. I just want to remind you that he's still really, really young. He's not a polished pitcher. Plus, he's not injured or coming back from injury either. There's no reason to worry about his stuff. The only thing wrong with Rodon is in his head right now. There's really no reason to think his mental game won't improve , in my opinion.

Rodon is young and learning... I'm not worried about him. Let him take his lumps while the team is good.. he will be better this year.

The Rollins Conundrum
The tough part is that Rollins is probably a huge part of the different clubhouse atmosphere this year. That kind of stuff can't be quantified, like if he were to get released would that have a drastic effect on the clubhouse? Tough call. Really hope he just starts hitting better. No ones asking for .300... but to not look like a washed up big leaguer would be good.
