Basically unless he shows up when I have a valid static firing line in place he can wreck through and incapacitate the squad unopposed, and god knows a team of rookies with SMGs won't put a dent in him.

I assume this is still XCOM2... For a while now. Which means he should have far more than 1 kill, and far more than 1 mission. Assuming this is in fact the same Rommel we all know and love, who may or may not be the same Rommel we all know and love from Surge's XCOM: Enemy Unknown posts. Which leads me to believe this is in fact a clone, and that the original Rommel is off on a well-deserved actual vacation.

He'll get there though, he's been promoted to Field Medic which puts him in competition with Charlatan but no Spartan is a match for Rommel himself.(06-09-2016, 07:23 AM)Surge Wrote: No this is a new war so he had to reenlist and start from the bottom. If you wanna get REALLY weird it's canon that my "victory" in EW was all an elaborate simulation ADVENT put me through while they had me in a stasis tank, so Rommel has no business even existing.

I'd think because the community is full of assholes, the game is competitive to a point where it can turn nice people into cunts, quite a fair few champions are horribly broken and most people who play it are very full of themselves to a point where team play is painful. Those are my reasons though, everyone's seems to vary drastically.

(06-09-2016, 07:08 AM)Shaadaris Wrote: I don't like MOBAsBasically sums up why. I suppose I worded it badly: I don't dislike anything special about LoL in particular. In fact, I find the characters, music, graphics, and all that jazz to be varying levels of cool. In fact, due to my cousin playing it a lot, I know more about it than I do most MOBAs. I just cannot stand MOBA gameplay in the slightest... and that's the most important part of a game.

It's never really appealed to me. Secondly, the highly... I dunno, "structured" nature of MOBA gameplay. By that I mean something like (note: I have no idea if this is even viable in gameplay), people being told to take mid and that they can't play Cho'Gath because he's more suited to jungle, or something. Which ties into my third point: The "community" and competetiveness. Nobody can just have fun. It's treated like life or death most of the time, and if anyone's game doesn't go perfect they're usually blamed for everyone's problems. People can be outright hostile, even to supposed teammates, and in general people take it FAR too seriously. I can understand that for professional tournaments and the like, but come on.
