/owg/ - Overwatch General #30

It's 4 seconds into the round and this smacks your killfeed on the ass, what do you do?

'Twas early in beta, I got killed by Mcree
"Hot Damn!" I thought. Let me try out that "E"!
That bastard's OP, I'll just fan the hammer --
I missed all my shots ... that ended my swagger.

So next, onto bastion, he's mowed me down thrice!
Then mei, that bitch is so strong with her ice.
I tried them both out, and found to my horror
Despite all my effort, I was still bottom scorer!

FUCK! All these Genji's and Tracers around
They're just invincible, they never get downed.
Except when I play them ... they've got like, 2 HP?!?
Shit. Maybe it's time I go back to Mcree ...

FUCK these FUCKING Widowmaker's snipes
Her and that Hanzo get all these team wipes...
It's all up to me; I'll snipe them right back
(FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK goddamn piece of shit ...)
These sniping skills are the skills that I lack.

OH MY GOD. TWO TORBJORNS. JUSTICE RAINS FROM THE SKY.
FUCK. SHIT. COCK BRAINED SWEDE. BITCH PHARAH. JUST DIE.
.....

I tried OP heroes, but ran out of luck,
At the end of the day the truth is that I suck.
It's all just a game, I know, but I'm stuck
The only solution is to not. give. a. fuck.

Continue playing because the first four seconds of spam into the attacker's spawn barely matters, even if it's a complete teamwipe.

>hating on a character that not only takes skill but is easily countered by the most common and strongest character in the game

After you do, so probably unfortunately never.

Fuck off

D. Va is so much fun!

people with lots of experience who don't actively try to improve themselves get into bad habits. that's why your parents are so terrible at driving.

Every account has a hidden stat called MMR, or Matchmaking Rating. When you win a game, your MMR goes up, and when you lose a game, your MMR goes down. This is proportional to the skill of the enemies you are playing against, and the skill of your teammates. When the matchmaker puts you in a game, it attempts to find matches where both sides have a 50% chance of winning. This naturally leads to players gravitating towards 50% winrates. It does this using your MMR.

The fact that you have a 50% win rate does NOT correlate to your skill level. Neither does your account level. A player can be level 40 with a low MMR, or a level 15 with a high MMR. If you are a better player than your MMR would suggest, then you will get placed into games with a higher than 50% chance of winning them. Likewise, if your skill level is lower than your MMR would suggest, then you will be placed into games that you have a less than 50% chance of winning. This will continue until your MMR reflects your true skill. If a player believes that their MMR is beneath their skill level, and that they consistently play with and against players that are less skilled than them, they simply have to play more games, and eventually their MMR will reflect their true skill.

Always remember that you are the only constant in between your games, and that you do have a significant impact in the outcome. Especially in an FPS, one player out of 6 makes a huge contribution. When one talks about unfair games and that they are consistently put into games that they have no chance of winning, only means that the Matchmaker thought that they were more skilled than they really are, and put them into a higher level game than they belong in. It is unreasonable to suggest that the matchmaker consistently places a player into games where their team is less skilled than themselves and the enemy team.

TL;DR, Forced 50 is real, but it is a good thing that allows games to more fair and of higher quality. Win rate=/= skill.

the widow is on defense, the hanzo is on offense, the screenshot is from the perspective of the defender

Getting a random kill with a random arrow or even better a scatter arrow into spawn is nothing

Sitting at 58.4% winrate with the hoginator, ditching retarded Veeky Forums deadweights I know will shit up every game and make me lose was the best decision I have made

Hog is so damn good against pubs you never have to worry about your teamcomp because you deal damage, self heal and have the hp to deal with every threat there is

Justify this

>play mcree
>get up close enough to enemy that their body is covering my screen
>fan the hammer
>miss half shots

>play against mcree
>they hit every fan shot 10 meters away

What am I doing wrong?

She looks wonderful with her hair flowing freely.

>Eye level with all the ass
>Turret to destroy high mobility heroes
>High damage shotgun + long range rivets
>Hammer does 75 damage
>armor for days
The best

I'm a bit late but here, have something.

tumblr propaganda

Yeah I love hog, I either go Sanic RULES OF NATURE or I just hook niggas and shoot them in the face

nah fuck you i've been getting solid losses all day because i keep getting shit teams that don't work together

forced 50 is unfair trash that pairs good players up with bad ones to fuck them over, get fucked

>but it is a good thing that allows games to more fair and of higher quality

Most games are total stomps for one team. So no, that's fucking dumb. Fuck your pasta you mercy posting nigger faggot cunt whore.

I would love one of these that says "Ore wa Memeji"

>always skeptical about picking Torbjorn on attack
>pick him on attack despite the audible sighing from some teammates
>have one of the funnest matches i've had since beta

His gun is good, his ult is strong, he brings armor and his turret is pretty good to place in flank spots or at a distance to act as a makeshift sniper when you're all battling at the payload. Why do people still get upset at Torb and Symm on attack? I'm level 30 and at least 1-2 people still bitch about it.

>the only skill that matters when trying to win a game is teamwork/communication
>/owg/ doesn't play with each other

Why is that? 6 retards who are picking smart comps, calling out enemy movements and changing to counter certain problem heroes will beat 6 people with better aim every time.

Yeah, she needs a skin where she lets her hair down.

>will beat 6 people with better aim every time

wrong

>when the MMR hits hard

Keep blaming losses on your team mates, and you will never climb. You are the only constant.

Any proof of your statement besides personal experiences?

Agreed. Overtime is a problem. Games go into Overtime far too frequently, and it detracts from how accurately the game is able to determine how skilled players are.

Overwatch is a MOBA, not a FPS

Not as many games played yet
Having a blast with this bitch

>tfw no overwatch playing gf

Why do people think 20 tick is a problem?

If everyone has 20 tick, then no one has 20 tick, and it all evens out.

You guys complain about the stupidest shit.

>Every game is decided by who has the best Widowmaker

STILL NEED HELP

Quick guys I need to load my Tracer out

Give me
>best skin
>best victory pose
>best spray
>best highlight intro

I HAVE 2K COINS NOTHING IS TOO EXPENSIVE

Don't let anyone else know he has a gun
It's a better Peacemaker, but it's too secret to nerf right now

>good K/D on widow
Well everyone in this game should have at least 2:0 because its never actually 'kills' its just 'kills i may have randomly hit them once in'.

I crack up eveytime Junkrat makes that face

''Roadhog? are.. are we the baddies?''

Blizzard, please for the love of fuck add literally any kind of filter for quick play. I don't want to play capture point, I don't want to play Hanamura, I don't want to play Fuckstya Industry, I don't want to play Temple of Anubis. I don't want to play these maps literally ever. I could go my entire life never seeing as much of a screenshot of that russian shithole map and be better for it.

holy kek

> Tfw hollywood
> Earlier today I got flashbang + fanned by a waiting Mccornershitter out of spawn
> Last game a bastion was sitting around a wall outside of spawn
Anyone else have any other cheese spots (In Holywad or otherwise) that I can be wary of? That shit's super annoying.

Would Mercy get off on physical abuse?

if this were the case then it would be 6 mccrees/widowmakers picked in "competitive" overwatch everytime, they pick two mccrees however

That's hilarious.

That's a roundabout way of blaming overtime for your losses

>when I hit the enemy it's skill
>when the enemy hits me it's bullshit

>someone actually got mad at me ingame for using Thunderbird on Pharah because she's Egyptian and not a Native American
I thought these kind of people DIDN'T play the game

>T Racer
>Sitting
>Pew Pew Pew
>Serious Business

THICC

Slipstream is the best skin.
Whatever pose.
YOU GOT PROBED is wonderful when you assrape an unsuspecting Widow.
srs business is her best highlight as it's cute and brings extra salt.

disgusting

I blame it for my losses just as much as I blame it for my wins.

stop posting this fat ugly pig

Are you PS4
I might have been that McCREEEE

>that feel when shit with heroes that contribute to the team overall

I'm so shit at Reinhardt, Mercy and Lucio, i just want to die.

>If everyone has 20 tick, then no one has 20 tick, and it all evens out.

So getting hit around corners is perfectly fine to you because you can do it to other players? That's retarded.

Fucking captcha

>Click all the street numbers
>Literally just fucking mountains and landscapes

Fixed

WE LIVING BOYS!!

nigga she's fucking fat.

>Hacker is actually a cool concept, someone who is more machine oreintated would make sense. Someoen who has multiple drones stolen from the military and can 'hack' other players by messing with their screens and stuff. Nothing unfun like reducing their ultimates, but stuff like a zone the size of winston bubble where no one can use abilities, or he can pilot his drones a la Junkrat ult. And offensive builder maybe, or other interface screw.
>Someone who despite being able to upload his own mind to the net in case of damage is an utter coward afraid of death. Doesn't engage directly and 'cheats.' He doesn't do straight up fighting since he knows Overwatch or Talon would kill him, so he's a cyber terrorist.

Would have his little drones around him fire as his main gun, or even a dinky mercy pistol. His first ability would be to pilot a drone off, and can have up to three drones at once. They last ten seconds and explode on death with a decent cool down for regeneration. Second ability would be something like a Silence ability that makes target player unable to use abilities for a couple seconds or something, or maybe a cheat similar to Hanzo's vision. Maybe something meta since he's a hacker.

Ultimate is interface screw, which makes people lose their HUD. Utter fuck up, but coms remain and probably ult timer so there is that.

>Get some decent teams with good comps
>Win 5 games in a row

>queue for a 6th
>"DEFEAT" at hero pick

>queue again
>0-1 KotH map
>somehow carry it, end up with 4 gold medals

>queue again
>two widowmakers on attack, one minute remaining to cap point one
>lose

>queue again
>lose Hollywood defense
>most healing as Roadhog when we had a mercy
>healed 25% of team damage
>4 gold medals

BLIZZARD WHY?!

Why do Reinhardts hate other Reinhardts so much

Jesus, I would fuck the shit out of her. Much more interesting than any skeleton bitch.

76 reminds me a lot of Clint Eastwood.

You just broke it actually
It's an old template

>lensless glasses

She could be the hottest woman on the planet and it still wouldn't make me mad as fuck

>tfw no pocket Mercy to heal while I charge recklessly in the enemy team and suck my german dick afterwards

She's not thicc. She's genuinely fat

Pic related is thicc

Just play them until you get good. If you really want to improve that's the only way.

Mercy and Lucio are a lot easier to be useful with than Reinhardt, I think. With Reinhardt you need a team who will actually utilize your shield or you might as well be playing another tank that can just do their own thing like Roadhog.

Reinhardt will ALWAYS save the day

Nah, PC. He had the yellow mystery dude legendary skin.

...

Pro tip: you don't get a penalty for leaving during hero selection, before you spawn into the waiting room.

Sometimes I just leave every game on defense because I don't feel like defending. Sometimes I leave every game that isn't on a KOTH map because I feel like playing KOTH. A LOT of the time I leave because I don't like the heroes my teammates picked.

Does Blizzard enjoy the fact that they made playing this game with randoms utterly impossible?

All of this. I've just started playing Torb consistently and I love him. Gay flankers getting rekt. Whole party armored up. Easy 4-8 kd per game.

The humor comes from defying your expectations of a very popular template.

Holy shit senpai I wanna live in there

D. Va needs to get her life together and stop disappointing her father.

How do I get gud with Zarya? I suck so much.

Also, best tank in your opinion?

For a moment I thought that reinhardt threw himself off the edge to save you instead of being blasted off by the Brazilian Manlet of Sick Beats.

God bless the old Giga-Kraut, always sacrificing himself for others.

Hey McCree
What time is it?!

I only really hate KotH maps, as all of them usually have 1 map that sours the entire experience.

> offensive builder

how could that even work. The whole concept behind being a "builder" is that you are rewarded for taking the time to defensively set up an area. I can't see a character not being OP if they are able to build quick enough to make themselves offensively viable

Also, referring to your Omnic "hacker" type of character. Maybe he could be a drone specialist type of character. One of his abilities could be a drone type of ability that either: acts as a counter UAV type of thing (ie: negates Widows ult/Hanzo's arrow) while also allowing you to pilot a mini drone and "tag" enemy players so they appear on radar. His ultimate could be piloting said drone, but instead it has a powerful rocket (sort of like a combo of Bastion's ult with Pharah's rockets). Don't know about his second ability though, maybe have him send out little nanobots at an enemy that do some damage over time? there doesn't seem to be too many DoT abilities

There can only be one

Nigger thats obese

I would definitely use the Mako skin to harpoon that bitch

are you the Mercy slut?

listen faggot, every game is gold/silver medals across the board, half of them are potgs if i'm playing offense, and i usually get nominated even by the fucking enemy team when we lose because of how good i'm doing

i am CONSTANTLY GOOD, which is why i KEEP GETTING PUT UP WITH SHIT TEAMMATES, that's how this garbage fucking system works

Pharah has the most miserable, sad and pathetic rocket launcher I have ever used in a video game, let it be RPG, FPS, any genre, ever.

It is quite remarkable if anything.

Nerf time.

I want to Paulstretch McCree's vocal cords
