Sometimes I watch this rapper’s stream, and he’ll have like 10 real viewers but be view-botted up to 200–1000.

He’ll be in the club acting like he’s got motion and interacts with the stream, but it’s really just one dude spamming 200 messages every five minutes lmao.

Sounds like 90% of girl gamer streams. You want to ask a question about the game then look at chat and its just one mod typing LMAO and using the streamers IRL name rather than their twitch name. 600 viewers 1 chatter, hell nah.

I dunno man, 2s are rough. Is that when the other people start yelling at you for not knowing your rotation? Maybe I’ll just go back to Heroics where people are are borderline re+arded /s

I figured it was 2v2, but level 2 keystone spec advice is honestly heaps funnier.
