    It really sucks that when I finally build the computer that can run Overwatch on ultra, I get internet issues all over the place and have to play Stardew Valley on the rig.

    I know, sad story.

    Hey, at least Stardew Valley is an awesome game to play.

    Until you're hunting artifacts for years and coming up empty and you just can't complete that last achievement and fuck artifacts. :l

    ---

    Tried Hanzo for the first time yesterday. Got a play of the game by hiding behind boxes and Dragoning the fuck out of everyone after I pin-pointed them with the echo-sight deal.

    Getting the play and wiping the entire enemy team? Feels good.

    Everyone watching me hide behind a box and kill everyone like a sneaky asshole felt slightly bad, though.

    https://watcher.gg/profile/pc/us/Ike#1791 my stats.

    I'm happy I'm over 50% w/l.

    I'm also surprised that Torbjorn, the latest dude i picked up a lot (as I transition away from bastion) is my best character, while Mei, who I usually feel most confident on, has a terrible record.

    Level is like mostly just playing a lot in groups. There is very little real skill involved.

    Worded poorly, I meant I didn't know how he's that level already. I've been playing roughly 5 hours a day (at least) and I'm not even 40 yet...

    I've been playing every day most of the day since launch and I've only hit just hit 50.

    Also, game time. Xepheria and I are playing.

    Mmm, it's passable. You won't ever win a reaction contest but mostly its fine.

    I haven't had many issues due to the various roles you can take, and I know Merrill has played frequently with me on AU without any major issue. If you go looking for the latency it's there, but it isn't immediately apparent.

    I was thinking about that myself, and I'm pretty sure I have a fairly straightforward answer.
    Win/Loss is based upon whoever you were playing when the match ended, right? When a match is going poorly, or even specifically if it's heading towards a loss, you're probably more likely to switch to a hero you feel more confident in, on the off chance you can turn it around into a win. Thus, an inordinate amount of losses relative to your actual ability with that character.
