rip beng

this general is dead.

Jesse McCree.

Why is Junkrat in the "Defense" category? He kills things with bombs, he even drops them when he dies, he's a fucking DPS. Why is Hanzo in the Defense category too when he can 1-shot most of the cast? Surely he's a DPS too no? Putting down a turret somehow means Torbjorn is defensive too I suppose.. Even though his ultimate has the potential to wipe most of the team and his RMB can melt tanks. What the fuck are Blizzard doing with this "Defense" hero category and when are they going to fucking remove it? Practically everyone who plays this game knows that the Heroes are either a DPS, Tank or a Healer, and that's clear as daylight. None of this "Defense" or "Support" bullshit - Symmetra isn't a Support hero just because she can put a teleporter or shield generater down, she's a fucking DPS and people play her like DPS. How many times have you seen a Symmetra go ham and show up in the killfeed like 4 times in a row? Yeah, but I suppose she's a "Support" character in Blizzard's eyes.

Seriously, just get rid of the whole category bullshit or at least just make it "DPS, Tank and Healer".

What the fuck are you expecting? Perpetual entertainment from us?

hanzo actually does garbage dps

WHen an online game is being made the vision the company has is that some friends after work will hop on skype or some shit, make a party of 5 and play some game like OW and then work as a team and have generally fun.
This thought is enforced during development when devloperts test the game together in friendly environments. Even though they know the reality, the are in denial and continue to design the game around firendly coop.
And then the launch day comes and the 10 year old children (10yo physicially, mentally or both) flood the game and start lone wolfing, le ebin trolling, raging, doing everything except team work or having fun.

But then again, designing any team based game that would work under such condition would be nearly impossible. To design a game around the real gamer community would mean the game can only contain all vs all deathmatch.

That or pretend multi-player and isolate everyone to their own bubbles.

>the game can only contain all vs all deathmatch
Curiously this was just added.

But not clans. Like, WTF, Blizzard.

Here comes T.Racer!

Defense is for defending.

DPS is for pushing.

You fucking retard.

>Tracer talks about the joys of dive comp

>take Mercy, come one, she's too strong now

But DPS can defend better than defence.

well that's a problem now, isn't it?

"defense" is DPS

Indeed, so Bastion, Torb and Mei buffs when? No Hanzo buffs because fuck Hanzo.

>currently picturing a dark-blue patch to match her hair color

Oh, so Hanzos, Junkrats or Torbjorns aren't viable for pushing in attacks, because they are meant for defending? Obviously they still are.

You're the fucking retard.

Stop playing dps. Tanks are more fun!

>Bastion
Frontal shield like in Alpha
>Torb
Level 3 non-ult turret that shoots little missles like the one D.va has now
>Mei
Changer her M1 to have a huge cone and further range, I guess

>You fucking retard.
>thinks defence characters are solely for defending and not for pushing like the mighty DPS category

They aren't more viable than the heroes labeled "Damage". If you're playing any of those heroes on assault you're actively doing it wrong. Just because it works doesn't mean they're better than the DPS.

>thinks defence characters are solely for defending

when did I imply that? You can play support on attack for all I care. It's what they're meant for that's up for discussion.

...retard

>non-ult level 3 turret
it would have to do far less damage than the ult though, otherwise he would be a must-pick on defense

>torbjorns aren't viable for pushing in attacks because they're meant for defending
but torb sucks ass on attack what are you saying

If you included Château Guillard, where do Ecopoint: Antarctica and the other Arcade maps fit into that list?

well it is, isn't it?

Can blizzard just delete her from the game already?

No.

What do, /owg/?

It's a fantastic map.

Literally never.

Attacker spawn is one of the worst designed parts in the entire game.

nothing, bronze is where he belongs by the sound of it

>sample
Why do you do this.

Fucking phone posters.

>lose, lose, tie, win, win, lose, lose, lose, lose, win

K'den

It's a shit drawing anyway. Completely ruined by her expression and smile.

you can do it user, get to grandmaster you fucking faggot, and then tell me what it's like there since i'm a platshitter for life

That's debatable. But there's no excuse to post sample images.

it's literally made out of garbage

You misspelled Widowmaker.

you misspelled you're mum

You misspelled Widowmaker and Genji and Hanzo and Junkrat and Soldier 76 and Mercy and Tracer and every hero I don't like.

Maybe they changed the backend calculations like they said that they were going to, because apparently my hidden MMR thinks I've already made it out.

It sucks.

>tell plat shitters exactly how we can win the game in seconds
>they call me a faggot and do the exact opposite
>we lose

gee i wonder why these people are stuck here

You misspelled (You).

>implying I'd want Widowmaker as a mum
I'm not that desperate.

just fuck me up, should just start maining mercy

So far I've gone from low gold to high play this season almost entirely solo (I probably lose more when I duo). Why does everyone complain about solo queue? Just don't be an ass and it's actually free wins

>Zenbruh

Why is plat such a shithole

This never gets old, because it almost always works in QP. I love it.

It really depends on your team.

I honestly feel like competitive would benefit from separate queues and ranks for solo and group queue. That along with an mmr reset would be really nice for next season. But it will never happen because blizzard keep on doing the same thing over and over and hoping it will fix itself.

The MMR reset will actually never happen. I can see Blizzard caving in to the pressure regarding queues and groups though.

>or Roadhog

If you aren't constantly hitting your self heal to negate the damage your taking then you are not credit to team

>try to order around casuals who are playing for fun
>they call you a faggot and tell you to fuck off
Gee who'd a thought

...

You forgot to mention how it was fine for Lucio, Reinhardt, Soldier, and others.
