About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7211 DaysI guess it's not set in stone yet either. Console patches are coming after PC patches. That's good!
Not everyone knows how to tryhard.

Since 7141 DaysPart of me feels like Millennials are so used to COD solo ADD bullshit - it's like "what I have a team in games?"
I don't get how kids get so far and still suck so bad either. Someone like rayy should have yelled at them by now at least :D
Since 7211 DaysAnd.. I don't know.. something about glass houses.
Since 7211 DaysEdit: Goddammit Blizzard. Stop hiding stats:
"Score was a metric that Blizzard created to try to put a value to the actions you guys make in each game. The way it is measured is different for every role, and most likely, for every hero. It did not, and should not, serve as a stat that defined how skilled a player is. It was simply a data point that displayed how you were relative to others - and we know how much some of you guys liked it!"
Scoring is a way to measure individual performance. No shit. And players should have that information at their fingertips. Obscured information, hidden stats, and misleading language. I hate the "everyone wins" philosophy that got us here.

Comp is fun. Soon it will be the only global measure of performance.
Since 7141 DaysThey think they've pinpointed some of the toxicity in multiplayer gaming, which they kinda have, however on such a heavy team structure it's not gone away
It's not hard to see a character choice as a glaring issue in your losses. Or you can still tell when a Widow just sucks ass ETC
I don't need a scoreboard to feel who's not being countered
You can still tell players they should quit playing games because they're terrible
Since 7211 DaysYou don't need a scoreboard to feel anything. It's about knowing. You should know how much your healer is healing. You should know how much DPS your team is doing. But I'm not sure that has anything to do with how they keep long-term statistics. I think we're probably combining two different issues that have a lot of overlap.
Here's a little anecdote: In one of my placement games our Junkrat made an obvious error at the end of the first round by failing to contest the point. It's not really clear if he would have made much of a difference, nor does it speak to his overall performance, but it was an obvious mistake. Another member of our team proceeded to berate this poor motherfucker for the remaining twenty minutes of the game. A best of five game of KOTH where we came back from the first two losses.
Information just allows people to make more informed decisions. Sure, it empowers assholes, but it turns out they're assholes anyway.
But whatever.. I mostly just tune that shit out.
Since 7141 DaysGenerally if the team DPS is low your offensive characters aren't doing their job.
Or whether your healer medals for healing is another factor
Otherwise though I mostly agree.
I just think you can tell who is slacking from the way matches feel as you're losing
Since 7211 DaysI think it's something at the heart of Jeff Kaplan's design philosophy. I don't agree with it but I also don't see it changing.
I also hope it's not too influential. Battlefield 1 doesn't have a kill-feed. Come on.
Since 7211 DaysI mean.. people play Mei!
Since 7185 DaysI have been trying to do that since KOTH got into the beta lol.

It's interesting how readily available subscription based hacks are these days.
Maybe it's always been super visible, but I only noticed this stuff starting with R6
Since 7211 DaysEpic is taking legal action against hack developers/distributors as well. When they can take legal action... they should.
I still firmly believe that hacking is an overstated problem though. They're mostly a convenient scapegoat :D
Since 7141 DaysI guess that happens when you have grinding elements
Are you guys having issue with comp at all? I haven't seen this but looks like many people are getting booted randomly and reconnecting
