But since I actually did get an Overwatch acc, I had opportunity to play it for over a month and I clocked in something like 50 or 60 hours, which is much, much less than I did in League on average. I often didn't feel the "need" to play and only opened it because "I guess I can play for a bit", and then after 2-4 matches I'd decide I'm satisfied and can go do something else. So by the end of beta my conclusion was "well, since this game didn't get me addicted like League did (or any other multiplayer game I played in my life), then I guess I have to admit it's not as good/exciting as I thought". With that in mind, I thought "fuck it, let's go back to League". But then not only did I put it away for days, but ultimately played 2 games yesterday with something like 3-hour brake between. So now I'm thinking that it's not that Overwatch didn't do it for me, it's just that I don't feel like playing online multiplayer games for multiple hours each day. Is this the famous "growing out of games"? "dead inside" | ||

It turns you into a shell of your former self and makes you unable to even reach your old heights. League of legends truly is toxic. | ||

Really messes with them playing any buffing cards as it continues to help yours (if you entombed for example). That's what I read anyways. I literally just read that this may have been a bug and has been fixed so nevermind. | ||

Yea if you entomb his cthun when you pull that cthun it's meant to take your buffs not hiss but I don't even know more. Game is either buggy or doesn't make sense to me. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Not a big writeup, just a summary most of our fights we started with a preset position, each fight was 1 minute starting in a certain position and then the roles reversed. All these fights were with 1 person, he's got like 5kg on me but at this point it doesn't really make much of a difference. First position was 1 person lying prone, from top and bottom both I actually managed to backmount him, from top managed to turn him over into my backmount after an unsuccessful crucifix attempt and from bottom he made the mistake of taking pressure off my back, I was able to move to the side quickly, take his back and I got my arm around his neck so fast he didn't defend in time. Actually choked him out (with a short choke, not the full RNC. Honestly I never full RNC anymore after watching Marcelo Garcia short choke people, if jamming your radius bone into someone's adam's apple with all your might is high tech enough for him, it's high tech enough for me). Second position kesa gatame but the person on bottom trapped the top leg of the person on top (honestly I prefer this position for the person on the bottom). I actually managed to backmount him and choke him in a weird way, wapped his collar all the way to like the back of his neck, lost the rear mount but managed to squeeze with that lapel+the other arm on the neck hard enough to make him tap. When I was on top, he managed to get me to turtle, but I denied the seatbelt grip and he didn't get backmount in time. Third position was halfguard, from bottom I managed to escape him and backmount him, he was too focused on kicking his leg out, just as he kicked my leg out, I managed to slip my head under his armpit and go from there, from top he lost hold of my leg in like 4 seconds because he didnt properly lock his legs and I got him in tate shiho gatame. Fourth position was full guard, when I was bottom we gripfought like demons, but in the end neither of us managed to improve on the position. I feel like I should have been able to armbar him, damn people in our club always grap the lapel way too high, but I think my hip escape was way too shallow and I had to give up and re-estabilish guard. When I was on top I did a normal log split, he tried a triangle but I was way too far away, and then I'm not sure what I did, but it was something pretty yolo and it just barely ended with me not getting completely swept, somehow I ended scrambled into a turtle and I have no idea what arcane shit he was doing, but with something he was blocking my left shoulder and with his left heel? was putting a lot of pressure to the side of my head? It felt like a horrible neck crank (my neck can't really bend to the left) but I managed to slip out, still ended in turtle after though. Then we had an even fight, I just fought a 55kg guy so I played a bit, one armdrag into a quick backmount and a short choke, second time he tried a seated guard so I just smashed his knees together, passed, got side control and almost managed myself to get triangled with the classic head way too close to the legs when not really controlling him properly meme LOL. One big thing is, I feel WAY more strong overall than I did like 3 weeks ago, and I gas way slower, might be because I just make sure to eat a fuckton every day (for sure above maintenance)? I just decided to bulk up so I heard this is how it's done, didn't think it'd improve my cardio, if that is what caused it. | ||

I don't know about Sylvanas, but if you Entomb the enemy player's C'Thun any buff cards they play will buff it (don't know how it works if you have your own). Edit: That may have been a bug which may have been fixed since. | ||

That's really more of a "crush" than a "choke". Less elegant, lacks technique in general, and lower chance of success. But if it works *shrug* - I was never a fan after being on the receiving end of someone who had little regard for what he was doing. Fourth position was full guard, when I was bottom we gripfought like demons, but in the end neither of us managed to improve on the position. I feel like I should have been able to armbar him, damn people in our club always grap the lapel way too high, but I think my hip escape was way too shallow and I had to give up and re-estabilish guard. Theoretically, even with a high lapel grab, you should be able to fake triangle or break his support or something and switch to arm bar when he resists against you. But I've never done gi, so that might be completely unviable. | ||

I wouldn't say short choke lacks technique, it's pretty much exactly as much technique as RNC. Yeah, it's a wind choke, but I don't slap it on and just squeeze full strength right away, if I get my forearm under the chin I can carefully ramp up the strength so there's plenty of time to tap before it starts to hurt. | ||
