love ur lack of an ic/ooc divide

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Coming from someone who recently went on a break because of how mad she was getting, these are my guesses:

- Influx of Christmas newbies. If you play the game solo you might feel like you're being matched with newcomers who don't know the game very well and are being matched against Seagull and pals who decided to go play QP for a bit.

- The current meta and arcade. Basically if you're playing mystery heroes (or even unlimited) and the opposing team ends up with certain characters, you'll not only lose but you'll lose badly.

- The payoff just generally isn't worth it because 95% of loot boxes are three greys and a blue. At this point I look more forward to the coins I make from the dupes than I do whatever I might get from a box.

- Lack of new modes. I played Oasis all of two times because it was a new map, but I fucking hate KOTH.

Also, because I just remembered this: 75% of the time there's a Hanzo AND a Widowmaker on your team. I try not to be one of those "hurdur there's no such thing as a good Widow/Hanzo" types but holy crap we don't need both of them!

i feel you on the hanzo/widow thing. lately though i've tried being more chill and giving them the benefit of the doubt. the other day i played with a hanzo who was a BEAST and it made me realize that maybe giving up on winning before we leave the spawn is basically just me throwing the game for myself. that hanzo even looked out for me as mercy, which was unexpected but very welcome! i've gotten to the point now where i'm reminding the rest of my team to give the hanzos the benefit of the doubt at the beginning of the game, too.

and hey, at least if we lose, we can blame the hanzo.

so hanzo is overwatch's equivalent of the hunter class in WoW? picked up by everyone and anyone, nobody's happy to see one, most people suck at it with a few exceptions, and if the group wipes it's automatically their fault.
