nth for IP blocks and language lock preferences needed.

Just got 250 coins to buy a victory pose. Can we all agree this is the best one?

Why is there so much futa of Widowmaker in particular?

do you get anything with just the base $40 game? any currency to buy stuff or anything like that?

>keep entire match on lock
>fucking SIXTY percent of our team's eliminations
>pharah gets a random good ult when I'm having to reposition and wipes our entire team and we lose

fun fact pharah is the most broken and braindead offense hero

i earned this one in a box but if i had to unlock one I would unlock this.

>watchpoint gibraltar
>other team is 2 bastions, 1 reinhardt, and 1 widowmaker all hiding behind reinhardt's shield
>mei standing up close to ice block the payload

sure is fun and competitive

Dva is trash

I got that one for F R E E
also bought winkyface, now saving up for scavenger skin for that sweet midriff and I'll be set

Holy shit reddit is full of people who literally dont even know how the game works and still try to give suggestions

Just read some retard say that it's OP that Widowmaker's scope has that "white diamond shape" appear around the crosshair when her aim is on enemy.

When it's just an indicator that your shot is fully charged

>Playing Lucio on route 66
>Discover how crazy wall riding can be, riding around the entire canyon
>For some reason this makes the entire enemy team focus its efforts on me while my team fucks them up

Wall riding is so fucking fun I just wish there were more places it was really useful

And this place is any different? Every other post has been 'omg nerf bastion I'm a League player and counterpicks are alien to me"

Are loot boxes going to be free in the full game or are they going to microtransaction their shit up?

how do you do the knockback jump? firing it under your back tf2-like doesnt do anything

WHERE MY FEMALE OMNIC HEROES AT, BLIZZARD?

I WANT THE SILICONE PUSSY.

Who /bash bros/ here?

I'm posting it again.

>get matched against some Japanese 4 man premade for 3 games in a row

Why would anyone even go full tryhard in a fucking casual game?

I think you hover then blast.

>Still no full list of all character voice lines yet to listen to
>Just the few unlockables

If I get one more fucking unlock for that fat swedish cuckdwarf Im going to punch a hole through my monitor

reminder to filter mentions of D.Va and Bastion so your thread browsing experience is improved

sadness

So if I buy this game do I get to still play or will the beta end for me on the 9th like everyone else?

>level 9-16s against an all level 40 team thats probably premade

You idiots do realize there's a reset?

see

>tracerfags this mad

FUCK THESE SHITS WITH THEIR ABSURD IMPACT FOR LITTLE EFFORT

There's a Hero Gallery option in the main menu.

Holy fuck this game is reminding me of why I stopped playing team-based multiplayer games.

Why don't you just kill them?

I just hope I can get enough monies to buy a cute mei skin before the game resets :3

>open 2 boxes
>antique bastion in one
>nomad genji in the other

life is good

Are you mad friend?

Yes but I don't mean emotes. I'm talking all the voices you can't buy and trigger yourself, I wish there was a list of those out there to listen to.

>implying you can't ruin a Mercy's day as literally anything that's not the Donkey Kong
Lucio however...

just fyi as an indicator for how long it takes to buy skins

i'm lvl 33 and i have 1k gold with 0 spent

Lucio is without a doubt the highest skill/reward support. A good lucio can easily turn the balance.
>healing
>knockback
>great damage
>harrasment
>speed to the frontline
I have immense respect for good lucios

I actually preordered ow some time ago and a friend kept bothering me to play with him

now I tried it out a bit and for some reason the game looks very trashy and lags sometimes? computer isnt that good because I have been too lazy to buy a new one but the fans barely begin to speed up and ressources barely used when playing so it does not look like its my computer

anyone know whats up with that?

Because it has a CD do much for going forward to quickly get behind an enemy.

Obviously using it in some maps to knock people off is good, and using it against Reinhardt when you get above him to knock him into your team can be strong.

So what non-meme tweaks would you guys give to some of the characters?
For me:
>S76, increase hp 200 to 250
>Tracer blink CD per charge increase to 6
>Reinhardt Shield reduced from 2000 hp to 1500

So Hanamura is definitely the worst map right?

So I did some testing. Pharah's damage is actually garbage if you're not hitting directly.

A Direct hit is like 75% on whatever the trainingbots HP is But what's weird is there's no headshot, bodyshot and headshot all do the same damage. Splash damage as expected damages based on range.

So ultimately Pharah is shit unless you know how to lead her shots like a pro

>play tank
>get angry because no-one else plays objective on my team

>play healer
>get angry because I'm healing a bunch of widowmakers and hanzos sitting way back in our spawn shooting at walls

>play tracer
>probably lose, but have fun

>for some reason the game looks very trashy and lags sometimes?
>computer isnt that good

I think I've solved this mystery.
I don't see what difference how many resources are being used if the hardware isn't up to scratch in the first place, cha'feel?

the game looks beautiful to me.

Literally end yourself

Hanamura is definately the most balanced map

>tfw you die as soon as you ult

>I can't beat these heroes, nerf them

Come from LoL?

well, I have no trouble playing DS2 at pretty much max graphics. now tell me again I cant play this game at anything that is borderline recognizable

>lucio
>skill
Literally all you have to think about is when to ult.

>tracer blink CD per charge increase to 6

5CP mode when?

>Enemies are such super tryhards they know everything about the game

>Pick Zarya, try to barrier people
>NO ONE SHOOTS A FUCKING GOD DAMNED THING WHEN THE BARRIER IS ON

>LITERAL FUCKING CEASFIRE. GAME GOES QUIET UNTIL BARRIER FALLS

Fucking shit tank mate. She needs some passive charge on her beam thing from moving around. People give D.Va crap..at least she can tank hits!

Zarya's the worst character in the entire roster atm

that's fake btw,

>Wall riding is so fucking fun I just wish there were more places it was really useful
its retarded how Route 66 is one of the only good uses for it. wall riding just doesnt work 90% of the time, it needs a perfectly flat surface to work, so any map with lots of buildings that have pillars stickout at the corners make wall riding useless. i can think of like 3 times wall riding has come in handy for me in my 10 hours of Lucio play. its probably gotten me killed more times than its helped me survive

>HEBEBEL SHTABBEDED

Eh?

jesus. this game is subpar. outside of being the game inspired by, and made for, forever alones.. it offers shit tier gameplay

>all maps come down to bottleneck points
>most characters have one shot specials that can kill half the other team
>steal tf2 gamemodes of domination and payload but forget ctf

>tfw going full operator mode on Soldier 76

This hero is complete CoD, why is he so fun bros?

hanzospeak

Sure mate.

i think it's a mercy ult

tracer needs a slight nerf imo

I'm making a table of character interactions.

Buff Mercy's single target heal just a touch.
A lot of other heroes seem to have decent AOE heals while also having the capacity for damage, which makes Mercy feel kind of sidelined.

its retardspeak for helden sterben nicht

You're doing great work user.

>Zarya's the worst character in the entire roster atm
no

>widowmaker gets to give her team FREE wallhacks

wallhacks for everyone and you wont hear the audio cue

>play tracer
>never die
>shit on every hero 1v1
>have fun

Because he's to the point and gets the job done unlike McCrees and Reapers doing nothing but looking for easy solo kills and snipers getting into dickwaving matches

everyone's a tryhard now

it's just people instalocking garbage like junkrat

no one can try anything new or learn new heroes, you just get shut down instantly. it's boring.

the thumbnail makes it look like she's confirming sudoku

Please I need Steel

What the fuck Blizzard?

>why do you play someone you're bad at?

literally just saw someone say that to another person in this game

people are retarded

>Charge McREE

GERMAN ENGINEERING

Currently in just doing spawn meeting lines. Hopefully they'll all be data mined before I have to do the healing/kill lines.

she needs a nerf and a buff. i know the whole point is shes supposed to have bad damage and good survivability, but her damage is too bad and her survivability is too good. increase her pistol damage so she can actually kill things and increase the cooldown on her recall so she cant just warp around indefinitely and never die

LUCIO GIVES HIS TEAM THOUSANDS OF HP FOR FREE

THOUSANDS

AND A SHIELD

WOAH THERE

>nerf tracer
>buff cancer76

What? You can utilize wallriding A LOT in any map

Watch this video for example

youtube.com/watch?v=eGrib-BcUs0

Are they fucking retarded

>chokepoint: the map
yeah go fuck yourselfie

lmao why would they do this.

Shouldn't they be fully aware about how many waifu autists this game draws in?

>trying to queue with 4 friends
>literally cannot find a game

I know I'm being cancer right now but fuck you matchmaker.

Who, blizz or the model exporting people?

>Gut the things I don't like!
>Buff the things I like into cancer!

Maining is cancer

Find comfort in the fact that as time goes on mainers will be fucked by people who have diversified and learned all the counterpicks.

That's right folks, every hero has a hard counter. If a certain hero shits on you this is why, not because they "need a nerf". Get your shitty "I need to solo carry on one hero every game" MOBA attitude out of your head

Am I bad person for maining Soldier 76

How come yesterday I was getting 30fps and now I'm barely scraping 15? Has anything changed?

Why is Winston so fucking bad

>jump in

what an impactful tank

You're right. They should remake Orange
