I love your team name! What were some other options that didn't make the cut?

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz21qox wrote

There were no other options. Someone on Reddit suggested it and everyone loved it so much that we stuck with it.

It's amazing! Gave me a chuckle today when I needed it. Best of luck to you all!

I'll take the opportunity to ask, do you partner with any visually impaired gaming networks? I'm looking for myself

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz2gfdv wrote

We don't, but maybe you could ask BlindWarriorSven. He is a professional Street Fighter player who is completely blind.

Panicci t1_iz4svmu wrote

How does that work, serious question 🤔

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz5dpnt wrote

As some has pointed out, sound cues. However, SF in particular has an excellent 3d sound stage. Blind people can hear and identify everything that happens in the game, including how far away the opponent is standing.

DrScience-PhD t1_iz51usm wrote

Some people rely totally on sound for hit confirms, blind or not. Spacing would be an issue though.

Hello there, I'll certainly take you up on that offer!

Are there any genres that prove especially challenging, and are there any companies/titles/communities that stand out in combating them challenges?

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz2byqh wrote

High dexterity games like first person shooters are particularly challenging for many people with physical disabilities. On the other end of the spectrum are turn based games like chess and MTG Arena, that can be done by practically anyone.

To my knowledge, Psyonix is working together with AbleGamers to optimize Rocket League for adaptive gear, like the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Also, recently LogitecG started organizing Rocket League tournaments for disabled gamers with total prize pool of $50k. Honorable mentions go to SpecialEffect, Intel, Razer and a handful of smaller developers.

What's your go-to dota hero

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz2j8fl wrote

It used to be Lich, but then Valve removed Sacrifice. Ever since I've been playing whatever feels right for the situation. That said, I naturally tend to play annoying heroes. I think a close second is probably Venomancer.

Thoughts on performance enhancing drugs? Any hot takes?

No hot takes. Performance enhancing drugs are not worth the risks.

You think an e sports team owner is going to say he endorses popping adderall before a game?

I loved hearing about this team! Wish you guys all the best and hope to hear from you soon. I have a couple of questions, what is your favorite dota hero? also, if you could remove an item from the game, what would it be?

OceansCarraway t1_iz4trw9 wrote

Anyone on the team enjoying the collapse of the graphics card market and doing some custom builds?

What's your favourite solo queue hero in DotA?

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz5gr8k wrote

For sanity's sake, never cue alone :P

However, to answer your question. There are a couple of things I enjoy a lot in DotA. Bullying the lane, pushing lanes and big team fight ultimates. So either Tidehunter, Venomancer or Jakiro...depending on the situation.

after reading the title of this post, i scrolled past about a full page before the name of their team clicked in my head, causing me to laugh. then i felt a little guilty about laughing, but i imagine that was their intent with the naming of their team (making people laugh, not making people guilty, i should clarify)

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz5edlm wrote

The humor was definitely intended. So don't feel guilty ;)

This is really awesome. Hopefully, news of your team will really help shine a light on the need for developers to make games with controls that are accessible to everyone.

What a dumb "world record" to give out.

Good for the people in the team, they do good work! Nothing against them. but Guinness world records is such a meaningless thing these days.

CommodoreAxis t1_iz5yajs wrote

I think in this case it’s a successful attempt by Guinness to make headlines for their own benefit and to bring awareness to the idea that these groups exist. I’d like to think someone there has a disabled friend/relative and they pushed for this award to be given.

You’re spot on that the records are just goofy nowadays though, but they can serve a purpose since new “world records” almost always make the headlines.

Not OP but I assume they mean the Guinness WR company, not the Esports team. Based on some of the other comments I've seen on reddit, it seems the have gone down hill and have some shady practices.

>Being a for-profit organization, Guinness seemed to have had no issues with shamelessly and unapologetically selling out its devoted audience. With the age of the internet inbound, Guinness was more than willing to start prioritizing marketability over credibility.
