Arcade mode is a hell of a thing. Had a game where the enemy team had 4 tracers, first life was me with a rein shield getting swarmed from all sides at once.
Second life, I realized I could just swing my hammer near the point and always hit a tracer. Rest of the round was a lot of fun.
oh my gosh this mode is THE BEST
just won us the game on eichenwalde defense as rein
the secret is ALWAYS BE CHARGING

I do like y'all but I don't really have the accent for it, if I don't put mental energy into saying it it just comes out slurred
team should work though, I'll try and do that

because I still mostly mentally default to that, and while I've changed saying "guys" and "bois" in text to "peeps" that doesn't really work well in the spoken word
I dunno, literally any non-gendered collective works, and if you use it enough, it will become your default
or do what I do and go hard in the other direction, replace it with "girls"
I mostly do that to be a challenging shit, but it's never led to any conflict, ymmv
the problem is it needs to be a single syllable non-gendered collective that rolls off the tongue easily, and I can't think of one right now
friends is too long, buds doesn't flow (the hard b followed by an unstressed vowel feels really weird), peeps' long e makes it awkward
can we get a linguist in here or something?
get thee a thesaurus, I guess, because there's plenty of stuff out there, as has been suggested in other posts
mind your bias, though; you are naturally acclimated to the use of "boys" and thus think it's easier to say, when in fact you could be reverse-engineering the appeal of using "boys" simply because you've always done it
basically, I'm not sorry at all if gender-neutral collectives is inconvenient for you

I also hear "lads" a lot on the Aussie servers
also the c-word, which is used in a gender-neutral way, but still makes me cringe and I hate it and I almost always reported people if they direct that word at me for any reason, banter or not
someone tried to defend the c-word by saying "ain't ya ever heard of banter, ya c-word"
and all I could think was WTF KIND OF SHITTY UNINTELLIGENT BANTER IS THIS, THIS ISN'T EVEN BOTTOM OF THE BARREL BANTER, WE'RE UNDERNEATH THE BARREL AND THERE'S MOLD GROWING UNDER HERE CUZ IT'S ALL WET FROM THE STUFF THAT WAS IN THE BARREL
I find, even if I know the actual gender of the person playing, I 've come to just start using the pronoun that matches the character someone plays, I can't seem to help it, and I almost feel weird if other's don't do the same.
like I'll be playing Ana or Mei, and if someone says him or he, I cannot bring myself to realize they might mean me.

Ah, quick play; first game of last night, defending on Numbani, I'm covering the top balcony that the attackers can come through a little corridor to reach; game starts, and 20 seconds later, 6 Genji's come darting through the door.
Sadly I did not win this fight of Cowboy vs Ninjas, but I did win the next few as Gorilla vs Ninjas.
Sadly they stacked Pharahs, which are a bit of a pain to hit on consoles, but I'm glad that my team managed to constantly switch to counter the stacking (thankfully they didn't all switch to Tracer, which I've always found to be the most unpleasant stacking to fight against).

6 Tracers feels like it would look and sound and be just as annoying as a swarm of mosquitoes.
6 Tracers feels like it would look and sound and be just as annoying as a swarm of mosquitoes.
When this has happened, it has typically been 5 Tracers and a Lucio, and the experience has always been miserable.
Like, I'm not entirely sure what hero(s) you go to, to counter it. As a Tank, you take so much damage being hit from so many angles in addition to being impossible to miss and helping build up their ult metres really quickly; your support can't be protected, while your dps characters evaporate as well.
It's also next to impossible to keep track of any of them as well, with regards to who has used their recall to heal themselves back up.

When I began to play League of Legends, I made an account on the American servers because I wanted to play with PA folks, but it turned out to be very cliquey and nobody wanted to play with Druhim and me
And then it was like we were stuck in our own little personal hell, with three randos screaming at us every game

tbh it seems like the PA playerbase has died down massively (from regularly having 20+ peeps on my list nightly to HotS having more friends playing it)

Australians get real upset with other Australians use "American" words.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Try it on the current Brawl, where the cooldown for the dash is approx. half a second. Good times.
