A part of me would like that just so i can play with my friends on equal footing.

It grinds my gears when they’re retreating or chasing and ignoring their magic wand made them die or let a kill get away (among many other beginner challenges).

Is there a reason for the prevalence of specifically core only players mass producing them? Or is it just a coincidence that the players mass producing them are core players?

Tifa or Clive actually, rather than Sephiroth.

Tifa makes the most sense, but I like Clive more even though he’s a super powered kaiju weapon user.

Oh god. My condolences lol. Pretty much just as bad as my death to a ‘glitch’ as well.

My many-months old character died to the escalator bug, where if you run along the left edge of the escalator you can sorta ‘clip’ into a secret hallway underneath the escalator. This hallway is only a little room, and is a dead end. The problem is zombies can easily follow you into it, so I unintentionally cornered myself in the Mall while weaving through packs of zombies.

Is trying to walk shoulder to shoulder through hordes a bad idea? Usually. But super unfair to get punished by accidentally clipping into a dead-end room, with no time to plan an escape. From then on, I’ve decided I’ll be willing to pause and pull up console/cheat commands if something super glitchy and unfair happens to me.

If as some insist he really did use a “Force Scream” then they definitely should’ve made it more obvious with more deliberate visual, audio, and actor performance telegraphing.

Most horror games.

Growing up, horror games were too cool to me that for some reason I’d force myself to push through them. Maybe because I spent so much money on them. But now, I just tell myself they’re not worth the stress and don’t touch them.

Also on a side note I feel like horror games have become a lot more horrifying. Only “old” horror games that really terrified me were Amnesia and Outlast, but in a way those felt like the advent of modern horrors.

Dead Space

Borderlands

The way it stands there upright in the water just staring makes it look like it’s the token demon in a supernatural horror movie, like baphomet or a goat thing or something.

Make it night time, give the kangaroo eyes some camera flash, and make most of the clip just it standing there; and you got yourself the bad guy reveal in a horror movie.

Oh man, the number of games I must’ve ruined as a clueless 9 year old playing Dota 1. Did manage a couple of kills as Slayer though lol.

If u have 3000 games, sounds like you enjoy dota.

I don’t see a reason to lose reason to keep playing just ‘cause you’re stuck at a certain rank.

I’d only be concerned about ranking if there is something practical to gain by going up a rank like idk, a more populous rank or something, but I have no idea what the rank distributions are across the population.

If you think about it, a large large majority of people don’t improve. If most people did, then the highest rank should steadily comprise a larger % of the population over time, unless dota consistently compensated with a constant influx of new players and continued growth of overall population count; but probably none of these are true.

There shouldn’t be anything inherently wrong with 900 MMR; just as you can be anxious about your rank, so too might someone triple your MMR be just as dissatisfied. It doesn’t matter.

Yes, Centaur is straightforward I agree.

But I don’t give them rigid, limiting guides because they don’t feel like expanding, but because I’ve been monitoring their performance myself.

So telling them to get a grip won’t do much.

It’s not :) why would it be

Maybe it isn’t. But at least they’re enjoying it.

When I was new to Dota, even for the first several months, I remember being quite intimidated by trying to bring the most output I could to a teamfight, while playing a (support) character with 4 active abilities and stacked with multiple items like Blink, Force, Euls, and Scythe all at once. It can be quite overwhelming for some people to even remember to use certain items.

I’ve been seeing some comments here recommending adding at least Blink Dagger, since it’s a proactively used item, so I may add that in to their guides soon.

Diablo 2 the Red Barbarian

I’m a cis man who does not have leg hairs. What does that make me?

Transception?

I agree. If drow can go uncontested, or at least be protected by her team, whether than be an Abaddon, Oracle, SD, or even her own frontliner like Axe, Clockwerk, etc. she can shred.

And even if she’s not literally ‘shredding’ the enemy to bits instantly, she’s applying strong aoe slows and anti-healing, from long range too, which’ll be much easier against a bunch of typically melee and typically frontliner strength heroes which will likely bunch up.

If the enemy strength heroes are a bunch of initiators, mobile, or blink users, then it becomes a game of chicken whether drow’s team can survive long enough to let drow show up late to the fight uncontested, or if drow will feel forced to show her presence to a fight early and potentially get jumped on.

I play Tekken, if you do too then you’ll understand the following perspective easily:

A 0.5s Doom is like a 30 frame move in Tekken (because Tekken is played at 60fps). If the stomp is 0.4s, then that’s 24 frames.

Most competent Tekken players can block a 30f move, but even then, a lot (even professional Tekken players) will fail to block it if it has an unusual or weird animation. Most 30f moves that everyone can block have easily recognizable animations.

However, around 25f and faster is when moves start to be considered unreactable. There are some pros that have done so much training to react to even 22f moves, but even then that’s rare among pros, and only after that particular pro has done so much training specifically defending against that one move, additionally it probably only works in offline tournament play with zero lag.

Doom being a “30f move” and Stomp being a “24f” move definitely makes a difference when even in fighting games, where it’s not a top down view, only two players, no economy and shop, no team play, only a small arena, and no multitasking, people can no longer react to moves that are 25f or faster.

Ff is final fantasy.

I never played the last of us, but she looked like a girl in the first one and the trailer material for the second one makes her look like a full on teenager

The deuteragonists of both God of War 2018 and Plague Tale are boys.

The youngest playable character of FF13 is a boy (or is Hope a teenager? Idk).

In FF16, much of Clive’s drive and purpose revolved around his brother Joshua who was a boy.

Aside from anime/waifu/loli/gatcha land, I actually can’t think of many adolescent girl characters, other than Last of Us. I suppose there was that short Hufflepuff teenage girl from the Hogwarts game.

DMC

Bayonetta

Skyrim (but maybe not too high difficulty, ‘cause eventually it devolved into a bullet sponge fest)

Treetality

Yes, hack n slash like 16, but actually make it a complete robust combat system with just as much responsiveness and variety of accessible moves as well known hack n slashes like DMC and Bayonetta.

Could try playing some of those arcade, or community, or special event game modes that Blizzard releases temporarily.

Those are usually sillier and more casual than ranked/unranked, so your new player friend could use that as a safe place to get his feet wet to overwatch.

Ofc it wont be the same gameplay as actual unranked, but from the perspective of someone completely brand new to OW, I think it would serve just fine.
