>signs that your team is struggling

youtube.com/watch?v=4V4IEV8l-gA

is it that you're not playing with friends

Need competitive play to really have a sense of progression otherwise its just a mindless shooter

...

how the fug does mcree's ult work? ic an't figure it out

The amount of waiting is the only thing I can say negative about the game.

Go look at your hero playtime and compare it to your actual playtime.

Word, nothing feels better than doin some high speed parkour and then giving your entire team a shitload of shields

Get closer, or flank.

You charge it. An indicator will appear on enemies within vision that will shrink until it indicates that the target is 'locked' and they'll die if you release, the amount of time it takes to 'lock on' is relative to their current health pool.

Nigga I didn't put 1000 hrs in tf2 and 300hrs in UT99 because of a progression system

>Overwatch is Blizzards response to superheroes
>No metahumans or mutants or spandex
>Regular Joes with insane technology or stupid rape ape
>Overwatch will no doubt get super popular
>The likelihood of Blizzard reshaping yet another generation of nerd shit is highly likely
>Might even lead to a surge in capeshit interest
>Might end up dramatically changing the genre
I'm not sure how to feel about this

Reminder that if you pick anything but Reinhardt when you go for a tank character, you are dumb.

Winston holds his own easily in defending points.

Any of you know if it's gonna stay around the same size at launch?

Has Blizzard said anything about future maps from other universes? I want a payload map that starts in Stormwind park and goes to the keep.

>pick dva or winston to harass backlines
>reinhardt switches off

Kill me

When you use the ult, it builds up a little meter on any enemy hero in your line of sight

When those meters turn into a red skull, left-click to insta-kill

The meter charges based on the current health of the enemy hero, so it takes longer to charge against higher HP opponents

Even if you don't fully charge the ult, you can still shoot anyone in your vision and damage them

You can cancel the ult with right-click, which will refund 50% of your ult charge

It's a much more complicated ult than it appears to be at first blush

It's the mecha syndrome. People see the huge robot and think giant stompy things, ignoring that she has huge mobility with the 5 seconds cooldown boost.

I wish I still had friends so we could play this together

>someone actually tbagged
>as soldier 76
memes

I'm still trying to get used to the wall running, but that's the best thing.
>See someone getting hit, they're critical
>Zoom in, pop into heal beat and boost, teammate gets 2 kills and lives with us zooming out

I've never played Jet Set Radio, honestly.

I have an irrational hatred of superheroes so im fine with this.

why is that healer girl sometimes speaking german? how do i turn that off?

Considering the only reason so many are playing right now is because either they preordered, or waited until open beta is a thing.

I don't see Overwatch getting too popular because they built up hype for so long that people got bored/tired of waiting, and watching shitheads stream the game all the damn time without getting any beta key.

They did the same with Legion it's remained almost exclusively limited to contributors of the community, streamers, and 13/13 Mythic guilds. They've trickled, admittedly, new people into the game, but it's still annoying.

Enemy ults are in the heroes native language where applicable
Allied ults are in english

I never actually played it either. I played the crap out of Jet Grind Radio though. Either way they both have awesome soundtracks.

Good

Superman is a boring invincible hero who was only interesting when he died

Explain to me how tracer isn't the most annoying fucking character to deal with

Hory shit. Did our thread finally get a mod/janitor?

>some guy mad about losing
>keeps shit talking
>start a conversation about waifus
>he leaves

oh, ok. thank you.

it's really irritating since it's just one or two lines.

Very low HP, low damage.

all of the characters speak their own language time to time

stop being such a racist user

>>>>low damage

>Playing the character that sucks all action and fun out of matches

Kill yourself desu.

Winston and Roadhog masterrace.

A good Tracer is annoying.

I usually just play Junkrat and do a Grenade+Mine combo to deal with her

That's because her entire purpose is to piss off the enemy team.
Once the waifufags stop freaking out over her, I'm probably gonna pick her up for that purpose.

Tracer has high bullet dropoff and her damage is overall weak unless she's practically in your face.

Check your corners and flank, user.

>stop being such a racist
can't do that, i'm german.

Tracer has time powers and Roadhog has been mutated by the omnium explosion in outback Australia. There's plenty of room for more non-technology heroes.

Reaper is probably magical/metahuman somehow as well. Given the turning-into-a-wraith-thing.

Reinhardt is the king of pushing and holding chokes, but when it comes to disrupting a point Winston is the pick.

Why do I keep fucking disconnecting from bnet in the middle of games

No other game is giving me trouble

>now watch this guy press q
Nice play of the game blizzard, would post on YouTube

>getting paired with shitters

DESU if you played demo and were good at it in TF2 it's pretty easy to just grenade her in the face. The large majority of Tracers are really predictable so it turns into the same thing as pilling a scout except she's not even close to as mobile as Scout was.

POST EM

How do I stop being bad with winston, I swear to god reinhardt kills me more as winston than any other character I pick.

phara is overpowered, tracer is overpowered, widowmaker is overpowered. Why does blizzard make waifu trash so stupidly strong?

Lyl.

...

I've been playing the beta for a few days now and i can say on the annoying scale it goes Bastion, Pharah, Mei and Roadhog. If i were not playing Junkrat a lot he'd be on the list but Junkrat counters Junkrat so he was never a problem.

Junkrat is a better Demo and Tracer is a worse Scout.

Even as an average player its really easy to win this matchup

>letting a tracer kill you
Stay with your mates and look around

>letting pharah kill you
Get a Hanza/Widow who isnt shit

>Widowmaker is overpowered
>letting a widowmaker stand there and shoot you without any problems

jesus git gud scrublord

>Junkrat is a better Demo

Nah. He's a good demo but no SBL equivalent. He's still really good though. I'm having a problem adjusting to the vertical arc on his nades though. They don't have much power on them in arcs.

That's because D.VA is actually scout.

>other team wins with two Bastions
>both Bastions talk shit

Tomorrow I'll put a lot more time in.

it begins

Walking the fine line between true skill and absolute shitter with those top two picks...

>Losing to Bastions
>Not just raping them with Junkrat

Lel.

AHHH LET ME BUY OW POINTS

I NEED THAT SUNNYATTA

I just want to be a healslut and get head pats, but Junkrat is too much fun

It's actually fun, I'm so happy to finally play it and not end up hating it.

Bro relax, there will be a wipe before release anyways

>reflecting bastion's shots as genji

This shit never gets old holy kek

Reflecting McMeme's ult is even better desu

hot

>it's a no one goes support so you have to match

I've actually got alright as lucio because of this

Shame it happens like 90% of the time thou

>Healslut
>Lucio

It's what happens when you have autism

>not reflecting Hanzo's dragon

>Tracer teleports around and ignores what damage you did to her like a laggy BR while slapping you around

>Phara kills you before you even know what's happening because LOLABOVEYOU

>Go around a corner and instantly die to a sniper shot in my chest

real fun

Every game seems to be just Bastion + Winston, am I just a shitter?

Pick who you want first. Usually someone changes if they are last. At least at higher level

the supports are actually fun though

Lucio's actually pretty beastly and bully as fuck if you get good with him. That knockback can royally fuck people depending on map and comp. Not just knocking people off maps, but knocking them into ults, like out into the open for D.Va, etc. And his main attack hits like a truck if you land the hits, which is very possible with practice.

Winston is really strong but they nerfed his dome a little while ago. Bastion fucking sucks and only exists to kill shitters.

Well honestly Lucio is a better pick a lot of the time.

Especially when I need to defend myself because the person im on has sounds disabled and doesnt hear me dying behind them.

Lucio is absolutely S-tier

Easily the strongest support in the game, maybe the strongest hero overall. Every composition should have 1 Lucio.

>try to dash to a teammate away from danger as mercy
>it makes me move fucking backwards because there's a dead body or teammate about to die behind me and lol u wanted to go to that right

playing mercy makes me want to gouge my fucking eyes out

HELP WHAT DO I WANT PLAY GAME

Would /owg/ play with me

This, especially if you annoy people into chasing you.
>Get chased out onto a balcony
>Turn around and shove the guy off the map

Shhhhh.

>enemy turtling like hell at the last point for hollywood
>allah ackbar and get a quad and win it for my team

feels good desu familia

I think zen guy is way more fun to play as

chilling in the back tossing orbs

>cancer

>cancer
>fine
>cancer
>cancer

nah m8, im honestly going to leave the game if I ever get paired up with you.

You probably just had your beam on someone still, the settings default for you to fly to your beam target.

Zenyatta isnt nearly as good

Awkward healing, squishy, no movement ability

>I only play Reinhardt, Bastion, Dva, and Mercy

Should probably just kill yourself desu
