chat has its pros and cons like its hard for me to talk to strangers on the mic because of good ol social anxiety so typing what i want to say makes it a lot easier BUT its hard to communicate really fast with your team in the middle of a game like if someone’s flanking or whatever
i originally wanted to get it on my xbox because my brothers on there but my friends were on pc
I like it well enough on Xbox but the dudebros are annoying. This is my first multiplayer online game and I’ve def ran into people on the Mics dropping words and phrases that make me be like ‘glad they don’t know I’m a girl’ >.< But sometimes I just wish I could be like, ‘can someone please hackle that Widowmaker? I’m a squishy support and the only healer. Please don’t make me switch to D.Va just to deal with the sniper keeping us away from the payload!’ Haha
BRUH I FEEL THAT SO HARD
my friend and i are getting into the act of just leaving any time we see/hear toxic behavior like its a game stop being racist/ableist/misogynistic/so damn salty go outside drink some water
and im not a support main but ill play one when i need to, usually lucio, and the reason im NOT is because i believe i am too full of hate to ever main a healer
like there are times when i do not WANT to heal my team they dont deserve it i want to watch them DIE because JESUS JUST GET ON THE POINT ITS RIGHT THERE or JUST STAY TOGETHER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
being a support is hard
omg, the amount of times that I’m just like, ‘fine, I won’t even heal you!’ but then get so caught up in the game I forget who I had that thought about in the moment. I’m a little too ‘win win!’ to not heal jerk faces, so it works out. I wouldn’t say I ‘main’ support; I just have the most issues when I play them. I also will try to even out my team as I am comfortable with characters from each grouping, and so often people just don’t pick support. (Though I cherish every opportunity I get to play Symmetra. I just have soo much fun putting those turrets down and then that satisfaction when a Genji or Tracer tries to jump in and all of a sudden THREE TURRETS AND MY BEAM SLOWING THEM DOWN AND THEN DEATH!! People are just jerks to supports. Noticeably worse toward Mercy and Symmetra from my experience. Fancy that… (Ana sometimes too. I’m actually a little surprised that’s not a little more prevalent but also thank god.)
Unfortunately, the Bae has me a little afraid to leave games. Not like, intentionally scared me, but apparently there is some function in the game that keeps track of people who leave after the character selection screen and will at some point punish you? Though I forget how it does outside of Competitive Play. But I’ve been kicked from quite a few games due to server issues or my cats deciding it’s time to throw up and haven’t noticed anything, sooo…
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also, the mute button is amaaazing!
