nope, Tass is in a better place now as a dumb mage with negative survivability instead of a awful support who has infinite escape options who becomes stupid in a couple of setups (RIP AA Tass)
I also played Overwatch, mostly been laughing at dumb Echo shit (echo ult into D.Va, D.Va bomb on payload after 3 seconds, why not, good game)

Echo immediately became my favorite DPS hero. Her base skills mesh really well, but being able to just turn into Reinhart and have a shatter within seconds, followed by my actual Reinâs shatter, is really goofy in a good way.
It hearkens back to when the game didnât have hero limits, and it kind of makes the strict queue interesting just to be able to break the rules for a short time

Hunt Showdown is very cool. Tegiminis mentioned it last thread and I just want to stan it in the new one for a second.

the single most depressing thing was that Blizzard did a set of Echo showmatches one weekend while theyâre were trying to figure out the situation with the pandemic and both teams agreed to do a no-limits match at the end and they both ran goats with Echo and it was the greatest thing ever

he was fine
the single upside to Blizzard randomly putting in no-limits ranked into arcade on a whim is that people played it and now itâs going to be a mode forever next month
I think itâs like, all amping yourself up to be more scary than it actually is, which is what makes the game work. Every enemy is a bumbling doofus, and seeing players is legitimately hard if theyâre any good (moving in places where nobody can see them, being careful in close-quarters areas), so thereâs this nice mix of goofy slapstick that punctuates the tense PvP fights.

also sweating increasingly during the entire hero shooter conversation when people went âyeah, MNC is goodâ and then went to âbut Super MNC was badâ and Iâm just going quietly âI liked bothâŚâ and laughing nervously
I kinda liked Battleborn too
anyway, good thing I like an actually good moba with Splatoon

I started playing Axiom Verge for the second time last night. Iâve been wanting to play something like it, though not necessarily a game Iâve played before. Nothing else jumped out at me, so I guess Axiom Verge it is.
I kind of wish the protagonist were a little more mysterious like Samus Aran rather than being a normal person who is suddenly athletic and proficient with weapons like Gordon Freeman. And I also kind of wish he didnât talk, even though the talking parts are not too bad.
Looks like the sequel is coming out later this year, though itâs another of those (presumably temporary) Switch exclusives so I will have to wait a while.
Last week I tried Rondo of Blood but I wasnât in the right frame of mind for that level of difficulty and I gave up pretty quickly after dying a couple times on a boss. I will probably try it again one day.

PLEASE stick to Rondo of Blood, if you ever have the time and energy. Definitely a sweaty game, but learning it feels so satisfying.

I know people were mostly talking about valorant at the end of the last thread but it is extremely hilarious to me that one of the ways theyâre trying to suck in CS players is by having near identical canned death animations to 1.6 as if that gesture does anything but offend my delicate sensibilities

does MOBA mean anything or does it just mean âmultiplayer team competitive gameâ

Multiplayer online battle arena
I believe Riot came up with it cuz previously LoLâs genre was âDota cloneâ
