Apparently Overwatch will kill LoL. At least in Korea.

It's temporary. They're having fun with a new thing for a while, especially because Blizzard started the Korean religion known as Starcraft, but they'll be back to the dotas soon enough.

10 million copies sold.

Just remember that all of those who bought the game killed any chance to see Blizzard single player stuff like Wc4 in the future

Still prefere a fantasy rts campaign than pvp shooter, expecially considering the latter has many title to play while the first has almost none actually

The chances of that happening died a long time ago with wow and the underwhelming sales of SC2

Good. After Heart of the Swarm they proved they shouldn't be making single-player experiences anymore.

They said there would be no expansions. Any content released such as heroes and maps will be available excluding cosmetics.

Everyone else abandoned expansion model, it makes sense they'd do it too.

Except for wow I guess, where expansion serves as level resets allowing new players to start at a common point with veterans every ~2 years.

Been loving D.Va a bunch lately, and without her mech I like her probably the most. Wish there was a hero with a plasma pistol like hers and Mercy's, but with some other nice abilities, they are just so damn satisfying.

Been having a ton of fun with the game but I really hope they do something about the team stacking or at least change the spawn points on some of the maps. Having spawn rooms right next to the control points on maps like Hanamura, Anubis and Volskaya Industries is a bit much when the defending team can stack a bunch of Torbjorns/Bastions and there's no traversal penalty when they die.

Seems kinda like that's the point of those maps. Easy to get the first one, but harder to get the second.
I think moving the spawn rooms will make it far too easy for the attackers since they only really need a single team wipe to get the last point, whereas defenders can shit on you all game only to lose it at the last second.

Torb and bastion are both easy to counter when your team is coordinating. Usually when the enemy is running something like 2 torbs and a bastion thinking they're invulnerable, pubs fall apart and you only win if someone manages to kill two or three of them. But when I'm playing on a team we just have a few people switch characters and take them out at the same time. There are so many counters for turrets.

counters for turrets?

widowmaker doesnt do enough damage to kill a self healing bastion or repaired turret in a reasonable time now thanks to the bodyshot damage nerf.
pharah is shut down by a 76 and widowmaker very hard on capture point maps
junkrat needs to get in range to actually hit the turrets

and if you somehow manage to make it onto the point, torb is just going to ult and smack you with his hammer.

i play in a 6 man group that knows this, and we rarely lose defensive cp maps. not even a coodinated push using all ults is enough to break a good 2torb defense on egypt or russia.

A team of pubs is completely useless against 2 Tornbjorns, a Bastion, a Mercy, a Widowmaker and a Reindhard.

I'm thinking a couple of pharas, 2 winstons backed by some heavy healing and a sniper, but I doubt even that would work... D.va's or Hanso's ult perhaps?
