     @hj@shigusegubu.club I'm honestly not complaining as TF2, Overwatch and Dota are all games that I have enjoyed at some point in my life.

     @hj@shigusegubu.club The only trauma I have from Overwatch is Blizzard fucking it up every single step of the way. They had a great thing on release, such wasted potential. I hope OW1 private servers will become a thing at some point.
     
     I think Deadlock is looking pretty good actually. Icefrog knows how to design these types of games more than anyone else I feel like.

     @SuperDicq my trauma was that some friends dragged me into OW1 competitive and it was hell.
     
     My gripe with those FPS/MOBA games is the same, really. MOBA has this "unstable balance", meaning that strong get stronger, and as a result team composition and skill level distributing matters a lot (not to mention low number of players per team means each member is drastically more important compared to, say, 12v12) and so even if your skill level is good, one bad player can make you lose the game and "feed" the other team. Problem exacerbated by the fact that besides typical MOBA "skills" like game knowledge and planning, you also need to aware of your surroundings (first person perspective limits your FOV and maps in FPS tend to have at least some verticality, top-down mobas don't and also have 360° vision range) and of course be able to AIM.

     @hj@shigusegubu.club So basically you're saying you have skills issues and no friends to play with?

     @SuperDicq no, i'm saying that all the friends must have no skill issues all at the same time while also be available and willing and have same level of skill and flexibility and energy.

     @hj@shigusegubu.club Well, I see that as the same thing as any competitive sport or whatever. If you play football you also get owned because one player on your team sucks.

     @SuperDicq if one player out of 12 sucks (or friendly) in TF2 it's basically unnoticeable. If one player on the enemy team in TF2 has god-like skill it doesn't make the rest of the enemy team overpowered.
     
     I generally play games for fun, not to flex my nerdiness that i'm the best player ever or something like that.

     @hj@shigusegubu.club Yeah, that's true. TF2 is very well designed for casual gameplay.
     
     I think TF2 kinda sucks if you're actually good at it, as it doesn't really reward you because you can just die bullshit anyway.

     @hj@shigusegubu.club It's kinda like comparing Trackmania and Mario Kart for example.

     @SuperDicq trackmania is single-player only, it's "multiplayer" is basically singleplayer with ghosts. Also trackmania is more comparable to speedrunning than versus/team-versus competitive disciplines, literally just a rhythm game with invisible chart.
     
     And you can still die to bullshit in any game. I don't understand the "doesn't really reward you", you can get killstreak weapons if you really need extra dopamine shot and just winning isn't enough anymore.
