This happens in just about every class based team game though?

Playing how you want is only acceptable in single player games
Kys

It wasn't that he'd just always pick one hero, if anyone else picked 'his' hero he wouldn't play, go AFK etc.

If true, that's pretty gay.

I sure remember that one time Valve VAC'd some dude who only played 2fort soldier

I thought it said bangs

Competitive was a mistake, the fans of this game are living proof of this game dying because of that mode

not true

he was banned for "ignoring the meta" and not picking the character that his teammates demanded he play as

Name literally one (1) other case of this happening, ever.

I mean, I'd rather a dude play a character he knows than flounder around as a character everyone else decided they need on the team.

League of Legends. But it's another cancerous game by another shitty meta forcing company.

I don't think anyone's ever been banned from an ASSFAGGOTS for that.

i don't want to defend blizzard, but people with "mains" in class based games can fuck off

Should've seen that coming desu

In good games like TF2/Dirty Bomb/Paladins/Quake Champions, this would never happen because they're designed in such a way that you can win the game regardless of what character you play.

Oh right, League exists.

Overwatch is a fucking trash game, and they're literally outing themselves as being terrible at balancing their characters.
All characters should be fully viable, not the same 6 every fucking game.
Nobody complained about engineer mains in TF2 since they where extremely helpful and could win games on their own

You shouldn't even be giving Acti-Blizz money out of principle because of the L-word.

when has this happened?

lust?

You know, I'm tired of the trend that multiplayer games are taking.


Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but I prefer a different kind of multiplayer. Cruder, with less rules. Everyone was an asshole out to get you. Anyone could do anything to anyone. Often, they fucked people over. It was a more cruel world. People would use their wit to trick one another into giving them some advantage, or taking everything you had. There was no such thing as a Mod. Everyone was a shit until they proved themselves otherwise. You measured your friends by how they behaved in this ocean of anarchy. Betrayals occurred. Brothers were left by the roadside, the chaff from the wheat. Sometimes, you felt the temptation. Did you submit?

Now, we have polite squads banning you for playing the game politely, but in a way that COULD upset others. I wish it didn't turn out this way.

This, part of the reason i enjoy R6 Siege so much is due to the high player agency.
You're Operator pick doesn't determine the outcome of the match, team-work is still advantageous but doesn't stop players from carrying the match on their own

well, tf2 only got competitive very recently

Some guy was banned for playing mid Fiora years ago.

Correct.

Pretty much why I quit playing Overwatch all together.
Hell even in League you can actually grab a good amount of the cast and just play. In Overwatch, it just kind of rotates through small meta groups every single season because Blizzard doesn't really understand balance.

and it's pretty bad when a game with a cast as large as LoL can manage that shit better.

>people are still gullible enough to believe reddit sob stories over video proof

lmao

Different Torb player. the one you are talking about was name xul or something. This one was apparently around top 500.

>playing torb in competitive
he deserved it

A support nunu main that used smite got perma banned recently despite having a positive win rate. Riot reversed it though.

Team Fortress never had a really prominent competitive scene and a meme about team comp being important like Overwatch.

everybody hates one trick ponies, which is everyone except one trick ponies; they ruin comp matches and only waste their teams time, unless you are lucky and the opposite are complete retards
stick to quick play and arcade if you're gonna do shitty picks

RIOT are fucking retarded, I still remember during season 1 when there was no meta and junglers weren't even a thing

>Shitty picks
See this attitude literally excuses Blizzards incompetent balancing.
Why should certain characters be "shitty picks"?

it's completely right to ban him from playing competitive, though i think he should still be able to play quick play and arcade
or just lock him from playing torb in competitive matches
banning him from the entire game is a bit too much, if that really is what happened; you never know, he might be lying

he wasn't just picking a champion though. he was leaving his bot lane to 1v2 so he could invade and steal jungle camps. he wasn't supporting, which is the role he picked. not worth a permaban, (which they did overturn in the end, like you said) but still a real dick move when your laner didn't agree to 1v2 the lane beforehand.

Imagine if valve banned people that always played the same class in TF2, the game would be dead within a year.

That guy was master rankand had mained Nunu since season 1 too.

Part of it is the push for "muh pro gaming" by some companies. See LoL and Overwatch where you get banned for breaking the meta. They also don't want people being mean or using lewd character skins in front of the ESPN4 guys.
Also related to this is the push for getting on Twitch channels so they can get free advertising. Just see all the stupid PUBG bans for upseting some cunt on stream. Devs play it like they are doing it for noble reasons but they would encourage people calling each other niggers if it brought money

>Let's add a gay, a jew, a black, an asian, a female, an old lady, a cripple, a gorilla, a mexican blah blah blah blah muh inclusiveness
>oh no we made too many characters to balance and 80% of them are unuseable
>I know let's add more characters yay diversity

Competitive anything was a mistake.

Kill me, Pete.

I still remember when devs let the games develop their own meta, now it's all about the way THEY envisioned it and trying to create the new meta, and playing any other way gets you banned

He had a very positive win rate though. It's not like he was inting and feeding, fuck your meta cancer.

>banning someone for playing a character in their game

the race of their characters doesn't have anything to do with their viability in competitive play. go back to your containment board.

He should sue them

Tell me how this shit got so popular but Lawbreakers failed
Sexual pandering doesn't really carry more weight than good gameplay does it?

it'll come back after this all burns to the ground dont worry

>guys competitive is fun I sware Esports are the future metagame is the pinacle of videogames

>what you play for FUN?!! you are having fun WRONG!

>*gets banned for playing the game*

And he never said they did you fucking moron.
fuck off back to plebbit hugbox

have you seem just how much smut there is?

choosing torb on payload attack before you even have the payload is retarded because you wont be anle to build a turret in a good place and its better to choose someone else at least until you have the payload and can build on it and have rekn shield or something in front of it
also, the fags who go 3-4 dps and leaving me or someone else to solo tank; it's just very ineffective teamwork, you arent playing by yourself and if you specifically choose a shitty pick for the moment you are wasting everybodys time
torb is usefull, but not every map, every point, attack and defend
not so much about balancing, just knowing when and where to pick what
and you can still do shitty picks in quick play and win because very few people take it seriously

>Think of a smart strat that wins you more games
>Get banned for it
WOOP DEE DOO

isn't this like basically admitting that torbjorn fucking sucks and they're shit at balancing?

This. I liked it when it was just some fun game to fuck around in. You could have a few challenging matches but also make meme stacks and have a good time either stomping shitters or occasionally fighting a good team. Even comp was solid when it was new and fresh. Now even the autism from comp is leaking into the fun side of shit slowly and it's killing the fun.

>lawbreakers
>good gameplay

Fuck off cliffyb

Have you seen the amount of brain-dead waifu fags that post about this game?

If only...

my point was, he wasn't banned for picking a champion. he was banned for his behavior in the game. if we was doing it with any champ, including more "meta" support picks like say, alistar or braum, he would probably still have been punished. nunu is actually listed as a support champion.

i'm not saying he should have been punished at all, or that what riot did was right, just that it was not a ban for picking a specific champion in a specific role.

I miss it so much.

I'm intimately aware, the girls are good but the game is fucking awful.
Just because you get shat on every free weekend by autismos who play every day with the same people, doesn't mean the game is bad. You're just nonsufficient.

Not even playing Overgay anymore, but I hope they do the sam to Hanzo, Genji and Widow mains.

Suboptimal play should not be grounds for being banned. If you are not playing at the level of your rank your rank drops until you are with fellow shitters, there's already a system that punishes suboptimal play.

>buy game
>play game for fun
>happen to like that warcraft dwarf, he's pretty cool, even though blizzard could stand to buff him though
>some obese assburger screams NOOOOOOOO YOU'RE PLAYING WROOOOOOOONG
>Blizzard sides with dipshit and b&s you for having fun instead of balancing their game (since their devs don't know how to actually balance their game)
>Tigole follows up by posting a rant to forums about how scary/problematic/toxic players are to good and caring developers

I've been playing league for 3 years and they do not ban you for playing 1 champion hence 1 trick challengers. I play Talon supp if i'm autofilled all the time so you're lying.

>play overshit
>get banned for playing your main

but you can still do that
in quick play

Yeah but like I said you still have annoying shits in there acting like it's comp, and you're liable to get reported six ways from sunday by simply existing at this point.

Ty E-sports

I sure do fucking love e-sports

being reported by babies does not equal a ban.

the game is built around quickly swapping champs depending on the situation, you shouldn't have a main; a main class i could understand, but only playing one champ is counterintuitive

That's more a managerial problem than e-sports.

>You can actually play a video game wrong these days.

i only see that happening once in a blue moon
i always go genji and hanzo and mei in quick play, and the rest of the team is usually one healer and tank and the rest dps

>Most effective means of getting le ebin PoTGs and youtube montages
>Ever being moderated

>waah stop playing only one champion that's not how youre supposed to play this game

There is literally a report ticket for griefing so fuck you and fuck retarded mains. I'm mad only because they still hasn't banned all of these autistic faggots

if you play all your games and you literally never say a word you will never get banned

there are no exceptions to this rule

believe it or not, in team games it's frowned upon to do things that intentionally lose your team the game.

>who cares if its a competitive team game mode where people want to play well and climg the ranks; its all about me, me, me!

>be main mercy
>every match needs a mercy

>taking overrated this seriously

Hey.

Shut the fuck up you no researching pieces of fuck.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=eNls1xGY5tE

people being legitimate assholes still doesn't give you the right to force them to play the game a certain way, if you cared that much you would have a premade team

like what has been said earlier in the thread, its alright in casual game modes; but, yes, people actually do expect you to play seriously and try to work as a team in order to win in competitive
wow, what a shocker

This.

I played the fuck out of OW, but dropped it like hot shit once I came to the realization that skill takes a total back seat to precious "team comp".

Even when it's you who is dragging your team down and the dude playing his main is the best player on your team?

Because I dunno about you, but I'd rather play with someone who knows what they're doing than a dude who picks random just so he doesn't get perma-banned for sticking to one character for too long.

>out of his $60
He was suspended for 24-hours, this is such hyperbole

You don't get to top 500 by not playing seriously man.

well, mercy is valid for every situation; same with lucio
torb isnt
not so hard to understand

>stop liking what I don't like

>you can get banned for deciding to play just one hero

>team game
>doesn't want to play as a team

you deserve the ban, comp is for serious play not fucking around with 1 char or trolling. i hope more games become like this. would make the community a better place

Let's be real here, if Valve VAC'd people who played the 4th Spy or Sniper, the game's quality would massively increase. Fuck those guys.

not true. i have communications blocked on dota 2 so i cant talk if i wanted to and i still get reports from time to time. never had any penalty against my account but a game with a lower threshold i could get banned.

You're right, what they banned him for was much worse. They literally banned a play style that they shoehorned him into picking with this meta garbage

>stop playing what I don't like

good riddance
