/v/ - Video Games

TBH fam, out of all the MOBA trash out there, i hate HotS the least. Mainly because the games are faster. And no item faggotree

It's incredibly shallow. Just spam everything while it is off cooldown.

>>14907414

Fuck proportions, am I right?

Let's say at least the OW characters are kind of better in there, when it comes to their original game there is always someone asking for nerfs until the characters are no longer what they resembled back in the day like D.Va or Hanzo.

Games like these are only good for fapping to the rule 34 and fanart with round asses.

>>14907535

Aren't they basically RTS lite?

>>14907547

I was about to try LoL but I saw a lot of videos that basically go down to "the game's heroes have very drastic changes from time to time", sounds basically like Overwatch for mobas which doesn't sound very appealing to me.

>>14907553

Are you fucking kidding? Where the fuck did you come from? Go back

post more yordles

>>14907562

Hey, I am only saying what I heard, are you telling me no major rework has changed any hero like that?

>>14907553

League of Legends isn't that fun. The builds railroad you hard, the game lacks variation in tactics, lacks variation in heroes ("every 3rd hit something happens xDDDDD", emphasizes mechanics and the playerbase is absolutely terrible. Dota is the better option- that's where things like decisionmaking and planning shine.

What's wrong with discussing video games?

>Being forced to play a game the way you don't feel like playing

If the game has a "meta", it's not worth playing.

>>14907753

>If the game has a "meta", it's not worth playing.

Absolutely retarded statement. Games naturally develop a meta.

>>14907753

All games have a meta. Even single player games have a meta. Even real life sports have a meta. You can't avoid other people figuring out optimal solutions for whatever it is you're interested in unless you live in a bubble.

That said, metafags are usually scrubs. They're the sort of people who only ever pick top tier characters, then start whining about how the other players are being cheap or their team is throwing when that top tier character doesn't make up for their total lack of skill and inability to learn.

>>14907753

He probably wanted you to play an easy character for beginners, but who knows

>>14907765

>>14907770

Any game that doesnt let you win with any character/weapon/feature it presents and instead has to juggle with buffs/debuffs every 2 weeks because the devs dont know how to make a balanced game is shit

>>14907585

You're not a poster on this website. Which site did you wander in from? Kill yourself. Is that clearer?

I know, you are retarded and you don't like to become regular member of this place.

>>14908091

Blue goblisn jumping your dick.

>metafag thread

Cancel your ISP subscriptions, underage faggots. Any game where the meta can't be overcome through raw skill is a shit game. I can name you dozens of games made in the 90s where this was definitely very possible to do. Fuck off metafags.

>>14907389

MOBAs are, and have always been, part of the disease killing the games industry. Fuck off

>>14908091

>What the fuck is a yordie.

Goblin furries.

>>14907620

Guess I'll have to try DotA2 then, of course I assume games are longer there.

>>14907648

That's what I was talking about, the way some people complain in YT points to heroes being changed too drastically, as I said it reminds me of OW because certain heroes like D.Va have been changed a lot since they were introduced (I know is a shooter but the principle is the same), the aforementioned example has been changed like 3 times in 3 different styles and the player base keeps asking for nerfs and reworks.

>>14907715

Wrong quote?

>>14907908

I actually have been here for years, am I supposed to not play different games while I still live?

>>14907389

Entire genre is a pit of a lack of innovation. All of them.

>>14908091

>Yordie

I don't know either, because it's Yordle you dumb fuck shit

>>14909818

I guess, didn't it begin as a mod for an RTS?

>>14907389

>what of there are very popular heroes picked all the time?

The game pseudo-enforces a team composition with matchmaking, putting a certain amount of tanks, supports and DPS on the same team to make it balanced.

If you pick a very popular character, it doesn't necessarily mean more time waiting, the role of that character is more important a factor here, actually.

It's a bit silly since this is the company enforcing the meta composition, but then again, at least you get to play with the character of your choice instead of spending the pre-match validating your life choices to people you never met and you end up with a functional team in the end.

>>14907482

Doesn't matter. Characters who are constantly changed and nerfed because of public outrage never really change THAT much in their design, their reason to be hated or even what they are good for.

The shitters that complain will still lose against them for the same reasons no matter how much you change them.

There's some examples like Widowmaker having a weaker bodyshot damage but keeping the same headshot damage for instance that seem to change how she plays, but she still is rewarded for headshots and punishing people that stop moving for too long or wander open areas anyway.

Bastion got several changes and nerfs but he is still the optimal sustained burst damage in the game anyway.

There's a difference between "this is the easy way to win if everything else goes well" and "this is the easiest way to win regardless of every other faggot" and also "this is the hardest way to win without the possibility to have fun even trying".

Let's say you have 2 strategies to win a game. One of them wins you the game in 70% of the time and the other wins you about 75%.

This is acceptable. If you do not enjoy playing with the second strategy, you can pick the first one and you're not crippling yourself that much.

Let's say instead that you have 2 strategies and the first one features your favorite character\race but only wins you 40% of the time while the best strategy wins you a game 80% instead. Well, now you can either choose between winning the game or playing with your favorite character\race at the cost of losing twice as often.

Excelent example of this would be Starcraft 2 where playing Zerg is mostly for fans of the race since you're better off picking Terran or at least Protoss instead and win far more games. The meta is literally "play Terran", but that doesn't mean it's a good thing, no matter how natural an outcome it really is.

Now going for MOBAs, being told that you can't play a character because his role is already taken is easily solved by talking with your team. But being told that you can't pick a specific character to fill his specific role because there's a better option for that is pretty much saying "if you want to pick the character you think is more fun, you'll be harming your odds" which is shit design.

>>14907389

Only good moba is dota.

I'm still mad that this retarded term caught on.
