My country is collapsing under Fascism and racism, Trans people are being targeted, genocides are happing all over the globe while the Earth slowly melts in front of our eyes and all the pure souls of the world of art and film die but that pedophile fuck can run free
After months of radio silence from Valve, even being 100% completed, the Portal 2 mod Alive & Kicking is finally releasing this Friday 12EDT!
We'll make another post once it releases, good for them!
BACK THEN FOR 80 BUCKS I COULD GET A GAME WITH A POSTER OR A STATUE!!!
I COULD GET A FULLY DETAILED MAP!!!
NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET A DISC WITH AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!
I think part of why dive players get so defensive is that these heroes take a ton of time to actually learn, while the things that shut them down are usually way easier to execute.
You can spend hours learning combos, movement and how to find the tiniest opening just for the answer to be Thing existing nearby, C&D freeze or one defensive cooldown. Those things SHOULD counter dive, but there’s definitely an asymmetry when learning the hero is much harder than learning how to shut them down.
And even when a diver is doing their job (forcing cooldowns, dragging attention, breaking support LOS) that barely shows on the scoreboard, so the second things go wrong everyone assumes they’re doing bad.
Also supports and divers are naturally gonna hate each other a little. One wants to freely use their cooldowns and keep LOS on their team to heal them, the other literally exists to stop them from doing that.
I’m not even a real dive player, I just wish people were a little more sympathetic towards them. Maybe if we stopped treating every struggling diver like they’re griefing and try to cooperate with them, they’d be a little less defensive too
Doesn’t mean every dive player is good or innocent, but I do think people underestimate how frustrating that role can be.
