Jackson Gomez
This. I'm already getting tired of playing and it's only been a week. hell, I wasn't even a beta player. Maybe I just need to take a break, but still. It's really lacking in genuine content. The game is just too fucking shallow in its current state. I hope Blizzard has a big content patch planned for it within the next few months.

I never cared about asses until I met Widowmaker desu. I was always a breastfag.

>regularly group with friends, we do so tonight >we won not one single game the entire time
I honestly, truly wish I had the mindset of 'it's just a game who cares' because getting stomped over and over and over and over and over is not at all my idea of fun but apparently that just doesn't fucking bother anyone but me. I just can't fathom how you can keep having fun losing all the time but I guess I'm just an autist.

Question: The game sets up this whole story with OverWatch and omnics and blackwatch and all that shit.
But why are all these people push a truck through these places. TF2 had very little story, but most of it was why you are pushing a payload and capping shit. Why are we pushing a pickup truck around the world? Why are reaper and junkrat and soldier 76 working together?
Isaiah Allen
I just stopped questioning what I decided to ship a while ago.
Chase Morgan
I like TF2 more. Character match ups didn't feel as dominating, and I felt like it was much more possible for a single player to carry a team. In OW, a lot of characters cannot do much to improve their odds in certain situations- Winston can pretty much only hold W and M1, maybe throw his shield down if the duel is challenging, or jump away if the situation is insurmountable. You do not win, your character does. A lot of characters flat out cannot possibly kill a decent Tracer. A lot of characters cannot possibly muster the DPS to kill Winston before they die.

congratulations, you're still a retard. kill yourself, retarded faggot.

It won't.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN
Hudson Gonzalez
how is it that you're only concerned about content. like wtf so much shit needs to be fixed and that's what you're upset over.
Wyatt Rodriguez

you guys ever wonder if you're just really good at the video game?

Question How much healing with lucio is good in, lets say, a KotH map where we play all 3 maps?

I hate my friends
Grayson Cooper
how do you see how many potg's you've gotten?
Owen Young
I have pretty much stopped playing with my friends because they're casual shits who can't win a game if they tried.
Samuel Clark
So /owg/ about when did you realize that picking Zarya is LITERALLY a FREE WIN against any team that wastes a slot on Bastion or Torb?
Bentley Sanchez
The unrevised one was even fucking worse, somehow.
Jason Powell
>I love that this game may not be infected by the pandering shitty streamer mentality and applaud blizzard for not making changes based on complaints by losers like the leech streamers who just switch to new games to farm kids with their mom's credit card

You go to the Blizzard official Overwatch forums.
Massive upvote threads:
>ADD LOOT BOXES TO BRAWLS >NERF MEI >NERF WIDOW >NERF BASTION >NERF TRACER >NERF FUCKING MCCREE >REMOVE LEAVER PENALTIES >THIS COMMUNITY IS TOO TOXIC 4 ME!
The loser ideas are being noticed...and they'll probably nerf it since they're catering to the casual player, despite how eSports it's being pushed as.
Cooper Price
WHY IS MY MERCY RANKING GOING DOWN WHEN IM PLAYING NOTHING BUT MERCY AND GETTING 10K HEALS PER GAME

They can't all be god tier you tard

it hasn't even been a week.
chill faggot.
Julian Barnes

Anyone else feels like this?

What is Carbon Fiber D.VA
Lincoln Ramirez
I found McRee's counter
It's the Roadhog on your team that keeps hooking people you stun
Ethan Brown
What is carbon fiber d.va or white hat McCree
Adam Kelly
first for wanting to fuck loli d.va!
James Ross
>you'll never give D.Va the WHOLE HOG
Elijah Ramirez
THIS GAME ABSOLUTE HAS FUCKING FORCED 50
>doing well as a team against some other teams >get put up against some fucking ACE teams that combo ults like they're fucking psychic and cap anubis in a minute 30 before we can do shit >cant even touch the point on attack, or if we do we're fucked by a FUCKING MASSIVE COMBO ULT SPAM
if you play as a random your team is dumb and you lose if you play as a group you do ok then you get force50'd
fuck blizzard for trying to push this as competitive, i hope this gam fucking crashes and burns
Cooper Lopez
What is Tracer Sporty colors?
Henry Smith
Tracer probably is below Mercy, McCree, Lucio, and Reinhardt because she gets completely nullified by a McCree being played at an ape level or higher
Ryder Wilson
Gplay more
Kevin Rogers
what the fuck
Kevin Nguyen
Torb is hilariously fun.
>tfw still sub 50
Aiden Perry
nice strawman attack idiot.
your little list is still a piece of shit. sorry your feeling got hurts. actually, i'm not sorry. go fuck yourself, moron.
Evan Rivera
>duplicate Im so sorry
all that gloss makes it look tacky as fuck
Eli Perry
Zaryas bubble only absorbs 400 damage.
Bastion can pop that and kill her in 4 seconds
David Jones

Jonathan Morales
>Stuttering Come and soothe your big strong tank's staff.
Michael White
>only top 200
You're doing great, but you can still do much better. Don't stop improving.
Jeremiah Long
>Duplicate Fucking L.O.L.
Julian King
Bundwheiser Reinhardt, I'm really surprised that's not a legendary since its not a simple recolor
Adam Murphy
What, you don't like filing into a bastion/rein/mercy meat grinder if you make it past the junkrat dumping grenades into the only alternate route?
You don't like getting popped by a widowmaker the second you poke your head out of spawn? You don't like getting shot out of the sky by a toblerone's turret or an S-76 if you try to hard counter the rein/mercy/bastion with Pharah?
>worst to best So they think D.Va is the strongest character? And 76 is weakest?
Fucking Kotaku.
Camden Hughes
The game is like League and Smash Bros - not congruent to the actual lore, but a giant "what if" scenario where they all come to fight shit.
As for the maps, I've wondered about the stories behind them, too. I think the misson behind London's map is escorting or preventing some omnic EMP bomb to a terrorist organization. Hollywood is protecting some omnic director or movie star from an assassination. The Temple of Anubis is preventing the opposing team from hacking into its AI system. Dorado is escorting Los Meurtos drugs or bank hiest money back to the Vishcar corporation. Nubai is escorting or preventing Doomfist's guantlet from reaching Overwatch or some other Military organization - basically an extension of the plot behind the very first cinematic short.
Colton Roberts
>implying Zarya's going to charge face first at a Bastion
You put on a couple of shields, peek a Bastion that'll shoot the people you shielded like an idiot, then waste him with full charge grenades.
Parker Morris
>not just peekshooting the shit out of him while taking 0 damage and getting buffed for free
Samuel Ramirez
>see mccree >move in >he throws his skill grenade >oops, tracer blinked >oops, he's fucked
gee that was easy. sounds like you're just too stupid to know how to deal with mccree.
Logan Wilson
>forced 50 isn't real >check my win loss ratio >literally perfect 50% Well then
Tyler Walker
The sad thing is that when they nerf McCree something else will take his place and everyone will get bored of it too.
At that point the only thing you can hope is that the dev rotates the game fast enough.
Grayson Butler
>In a group with 3 other guys >We all have mics >We almost never communicate which partially my fault as well, I'll admit >They never pick support, ever >None of them >I'd do it, but I'm busy being Reinhardt, who's equally necessary >They don't even take advantage of my shield I just added a bunch of people from the ID list, I hope they fare better. This is fucking infuriating.
Robert Clark
Those kinds of patches aren't difficult to do.
Also I sort of brought that up in my post by saying that only a handful of heroes are truly OP while too many are situational.
Daniel Johnson
Time to find new friends then
Ian White
>he can't m1 down a tracer shitter
Jayden Walker
...
Tyler Collins
Calling it now. We're going to see nerfs to Junkrat, Pharah, Mei, Tracer, Widow and McCree with buffs to D Va and Zenyatta.
Nicholas Lewis
am I the only one who actually DISLIKES Soldier's legendaries?
Bone is fucking badass though.
Brandon Lopez
