first for mei

Mercy is a slut.

^_^

xth for nerf the chilly chink

Why is Reaper's design so terrible?

Nth for no one can play a tank worth shit

When healing people in a mass fight, should I try to heal everybody just a little or stick to one guy and heal him continously?

The edge

What about Mercy players?

Are we also terrible people?

anime is garbage and so are weeb players

Does anyone else feel a lot of abilities could be more interesting than "press q and get 1-3 free kills"

they let metzen design that one

heal the tank
if your team doesn't have a tank then you pretty much lost unless the other team is shit

i only pick mercy when i've got a tank on my team

Does mm get better, a little at least? I'm lvl 3 getting matched up with 7-8s mainly but it's still a mess

d.va is my waifu

I fucking wish they'd give mei a better god damn ult that's for sure.
>charge for ult
>press q
>watch while hitmarker ticks and receive no kills, at most a couple seconds of freezing

how is genji good?

Is E being sort of neat doesn't, for me, negate the fact that he has a shit basic attack and his slash does piss-all for damage

Yes.
Press Q and get 4-6 kills.

>I fucking wish they'd give mei a better god damn ult that's for sure.
2/10

How the fuck do I talk in all chat? I bound a key in settings but it just brings up team chat.

why do all the overwatch women have small tits? I figured at least Mercy would have some but they're still smallish.

Overtime lasts indefinitely.

nigga what the fuck you talkin about
all of mei's abilities could be classified as a goddamn ult

Press enter and then tab until you get the chat you want

post em farn

It literally says when you type "Press Tab"

They are literally D size irl

They're not anime size obviously

symmetra got that ass htough....

hit headshots

what sens and dpi is everyone using?

Healers cannot be "terrible people" - everybody loves them when they're saving the entire team's ass.

anime/anime-esque games skewed your view on what normal-ish boob size is

He's best at mid-range and closing in distance. He can do a lot of burst damage and then get out.

Yeah but she shits in the street and wipes her ass with her bare hand.

Because:
>muh oppressive patriarchy body images

I felt a little guilty for flashfucking people as John Marston but then I got put up against a team with 3 Meis. Now I don't feel guilty anymore.

Tab, niggaa.

But everyone immediately blames the healer if the team loses

>all those reinhardt lines
is reinhardt this games braum?

YES someone else sees it

I love the shit out of reinhardt

Honestly surprised at the Genji, I didn't think I picked him that often

yeah but league is shit so fuck off

question...why does widowmaker have a dick in all her sfm webms and in like half of her r34 pics?

That's because most people are faggots that just run straight into the entire enemy team and wonder why they die.

How to fix Junkrat without making him terrible.

>Reduce the damage of his grenades
>Provide a bonus to landing direct hits (Which could be equivalent to the current damage, or very slightly less, would need actual testing)

This penalizes Junkrats who just hold left click while aiming vaguely at control points, but doesn't take away from Junkrats who are actually good and can aim their shots. If you're decent, you wouldn't really notice the change.

>Increase self damage from grenades

It's retarded that Junkrat's weakness is supposed to be close range, but he only takes 40 from blowing one up in his own face. Make it so Junkrats have to either aim better in close quarters, or accept that they might die too

>Reduce/Remove his death grenades

What are even the point of these? You shouldn't reward people for dying. This shit is like death streaks from Call of Duty, which were decried by the community for years.

Overall these changes leave Junkrat intact, making him the same or ever so slightly weaker to skilled players, and making him worse for people who just want to lob grenades over walls for 5 minutes. I'd say that is a very fair trade off. I'm not even suggesting touching his ultimate, because it's good, but also if you pay attention it's easy to shoot down.

This game would actually be good if there were no ults.

degenerates

Are there any Heroes that are actually overpowered or under powered? Explain.

Reply in was meant for Sorry, it's late at night.

Degenerates with shit taste.

having two lives is great

>mfw Bastion nerfs announced

he's more like magnus from dota with braum's shield.

>mfw auto-leaving every single Route 66

take it out
take it out
take it out

widowmaker seems strong (team infared wtf) and zenyatta could use a hp buff

>playing D.VA
>get some good kills in
>get the kill thingy
>everyone starts giving me little votes on the vote screen thing

T-thanks! But i'm not sure what I did right. Winston was better than me in that fight.

>How to fix Junkrat without making him terrible
just do nothing, he is alright how he is.
Fag.

it's cool to have a dick

I feel like that would make the game flow stall at points, though.

I fucking hate that map

you already know

I'm close to just not playing this game anymore until full release
Every single game, nobody has anyone picked, and I take an offense character

30 seconds later, everyone locks in Genji and Widowmaker
And then I'm the asshole for saying "can somebody pick a tank?"
People act like I'm screaming my head off because I'd like to not have our whole team get our shit shoved in

No matter how politely I say it, these twelve year old degenerates playing this game because it's free for a few days go "TRYHARD FAGGOT YOU PICK A TANK, JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE FOUR GENJIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN SAY I SHOULDN'T PICK GENJI"

whore yourself out, they increase your drop rate per vote

This game is too reliant on choke points and ults.

Every fucking game is the goddamn same

>Defenders hold up at a choke point
>Slaughter the attacks over and over
>Both teams have ultimates charged
>Whoever has the better ultimates or gets the most off wins the fight and either takes the control point or keeps it
>Repeat 3 or 4 times every game

Jet Set Radio and Widowmaker are overpowered

I'm the guy who always picks D.Va and just flies around like an idiot.

dis nigga doesn't want choke points and outdoors LOL

I have the feeling the difference between good Hanzo/Widowmaker/Genji players will be quite noticeable in times to come.

The Genji on my team always charges into 5 alone and dies, their Genji is like some kind of Anime protagonist.

What does that have to do with video games though?
Not that I'm complaining, I just don't get why some things have to be "normal" and "average" in a video game that doesn't try to be realistic in any other aspect.

>People say that Soldier 76 is good
Can I ask why? I find his damage terrible to justify his spot

>play of the game is bastion camping on his turret

everytime

...

I hope Blizzard doesn't give in to shitters

I can't into Sheriff Taylor
>Sneak up on enemy
>Flashbang his ass
>Blow my load but enemy survives just barely
>Roll to reload
>Insert Icewall, Grenade, reaper blast, whole lotta bullets

It happens every fucking time

...

It may be just me but Lucio fucking seems way too strong. His massive aoe heal and speed boost will put any team that doesn't have one at a huge disadvantage.

I mean personality

>press e to call medic
>nothing happens
>have to navigate le epin action wheel to get mercy to keep the fucking beam on me

this can't keep happening

is there a way to bind the heal me fucking dumbshit button to something accessible?

Alright /owg/ we all know there's only one character that really needs a nerf, and that's Mei.
Put forth your suggestions on how to make her not an OP team sweeping fatass
>inb4 not OP
>invulnerable health regen
>guaranteed kill combo (2 second freeze and double icicle)
>retarded health pool for her character

yes I'm fucking salty

Why didn't they make Soldier 76 not black?

bastion needs a nerf retard

Why does nobody ever use their mic? I remember when I played TF2 like six years ago people used their mics all the time.

Have you looked at

Your KEYBINDS maybe?
In the options?
Where the exact thing you're looking for would be easily accessible?

>Overpowered

Junkrat
Widowmaker
Tracer
Lucio

>Underpowered

Zenyata
Winston

>in 6 stack
>last game of the night
>Lijang tower
>roll 4 Reinhardts and 2 Lucios
>steamroll round 1
>round 2 enemy team goes 5 Pharahs and a Lucio
>Pharahs doing their best to kill the Lucios while Reinhardts are trying to Firestrike them down
>5 back to back rocket barrages trying to blow away 4 germillion shield and 2 brazillion armor
>mfw we still won

most fun match of my life

>not black
What the fuck?

desu tho fucking pick a tank if you think you need a tank

I don't mind getting my shit pushed in I just wanna keep playing reaper

nah

Maybe I'm just stomping but birdlady seems easily abusable, Even OP.

>/owg/ doesn't know how to attack a weak point for massive damage

Bastion already has a hard counter, literally target practice for Widowmaker

>it's another reinhardt prevents your entire team from doing damage for 10 seconds episode
how do i counter this fucker

tfw buddying up with a good Winston

he understands I can't follow him into the fray so he goes in, beats the shit out of people for a bit and then comes back for heals

>join open beta
>second team mates die they leave the game
>they are allowed to do this

Uninstalled. Might try again later in the year.

Widow can be considered overpowered but that's hitscan snipers for you.
Roadhog can be arguably overpowered since he almost has a low-cooldown instant-kill and extremely high survivability. Fortunately, this move is countered by many different abilities.
McCree is in the same boat as Roadhog, though he has less range on his combo and far less health.
People consider Bastion overpowered but it's mostly because he shits on teams composed of newer players.
Lucio is considered overpower due to his ability to heal people (and himself) at a decent rate just by existing near them. He has also the ability to speed the entire team up, which can wreck shit in KotH.

>Mei
>small tits

>Why does nobody ever use their mic?
This

My group always goes into team chat but no one talks. What fucking gives?

Make the slow/freeze more gradual. As it stands, the instant she even gets a whiff of that beam on you, you're slowed to all hell and you're practically already frozen.
Make it so there's, say, a three second delay before she can start freezing someone who's just become unfrozen so she can't just chain freeze the same person over and over.

no one wants to speak to a bunch of blizzdrones

>tfw you get enough votes to be "legendary" due to the play of the game
>its a turret getting 3 kills and you taunting in the end

Poetry. Pure poetry of skill right there.

>Be pub on your team
>See that your team has Lucio, Hanzo, McRee, Widowmaker, and Widowmaker
>Think about my decision
>Decide that Widowmaker will be the best pick
>My face when
