I want to have sexual congress with Tracer.

Hey a question for you guys.

Is it worth buying on console? How are the controls on there?

nth for sitting in spawn the whole game so my team loses, stay mad niggers :)

one day you will meet one of this mtf and you will wonder "how do I defend myself from flying widow?"
youtube.com/watch?v=kv5PrUz-7Uo

Are they even going to do anything about Widow? I honestly cannot even imagine how she made it through internal testing, let alone two betas.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I really wish Tracer would get nerfed. Nobody should have that much fucking mobility, as well as a self-heal imo.

I think that in general designing stupidly strong characters with their biggest downside being "they're hard to use" is a shitty decision to begin with. I've seen it in other games and it was awful there too.

>get 3 kills and ult with Zenyatta
>POTG: Bastion

>only seen bastion 2 or 3 times since I hit level 40

why do people record videos of themselves being terrible at video games?

>you will never play Overwatch during the first week/open beta again
>Overwatch will forever be stained by the Esports/Lol MLG crowd who play McCree/WidowMaker
I really should have seen this coming, why the fuck does every shooter need a sniper?

I'm playing with random pubs and we always have a Winston on our team because she's just that broken.

There are people in these threads who still don't know gray is common, blue is rare, purple is epic, and orange is legendary

Blizzard has been using this system for what, a fucking decade now and people still don't understand it?

>when you counter charge the enemy Reinhardt and both end up laying down stunned like retards as hell is unleashed

Don't listen to the fag underneath you. Just get comfy with leading your hook and get yourself a mercy, they are a killer combo.

>tfw will never play with Tyler1 and his friends
>will never shit talk one another and josh around with good humor and banter
>will never tank while Tyler kills everyone and Bailee heals us

So what is with the hero difficulty to hero strength ratio in this game?

For instance, why play Tracer when you could just play Reaper? Both need to be rather close, yet Reaper absolutely shreds much faster than Tracer, with a higher health pool and invuln, with an ult that can destroy a whole team, that has no real wind-up time to it.

Why play Widowmaker, when you could play Hanzo? Sure, one is a traditional Sniper, and the other is a Huntsman Sniper, but the point is that his arrows suffer no real falloff damage, and he's free to edge around corners and just spam arrows and do as much damage (Or nearly) as a Widow bodyshot, whilst his ult, while easy to dodge, can still absolutely clear a point purely because of hos large and destructive it is. So what's the point in gittin gud at being a Sniper, when you could just play Hanzo and fulfill the same role? Complete with wall bouncing arrows in case somebody takes cover.

Why play Zenyatta when you could just play Lucio? Better heals, can be rather offensive and disruptive, the ONLY thing Zenyatta has over him is his Orb, but even that means nothing except for in very very particular instances.

There are heroes who have it way easier than others, that yield same if not better results, but do not take as much effort as others, why is that? What's the point?

On that note, why the fuck are thee ultimates which 1-shot or in Pharah's case, absolutely tear everything up within a second, 90% of the time ending in a 1:1 or 1:2 or more trade, when something like Tracer's ult exists, which is meant to sort of do the same thing as Pharah's, Reaper's or McCree's but is much harder to pull off?

Again, where is the balance within the difficulty to reward ratio here?

>Have 65% win rate with Tracer because I always pick her in KOTH
Why don't they give me KOTH every match? I can beat their shitty fucked forced 50 if they just give me the damn KOTH. It's so easy to win KOTH compared to Payload.

Hot off the presses

Hook->shoot->melee

Melee can follow up the shot almost instantaneously.

Otherwise, aim the hook, take out the squishy.

How do you get good at Winston on Overwatch? His ult doesn't feel very handy except for tossing people around and the gun hits like a water soaker, yet I got completely shat on earlier as a Mercy.

Is he only useful for singling out weak characters like Widow and Mercy?

tracer and reaper have different uses

widowmaker is strictly better

>why play Tracer when you could just play Reaper?
Why play reaper when you could just play McFree-win?
Stopped reading at the Widowmaker part, play the fucking game you retarded shit.

yawn

>bailey jay will never suck you off while you main genji

>get quad kill with Bastion
>potg: Junkrat

>get killed by some bullshit
>refresh myself with my tasty beverage of choice
>suddenly HEROES NEVER DIE

>6' 5"
I see that he's usually hunched over and has a pegleg, but it's a little difficult believing this.

He's an ult feeder just like roadhog. Except roadhog is actually useful at times, where winston is only useful if you're playing with kinect controls.

>why play Tracer when you could just play Reaper?

Tracer is ten fucking thousand times more mobile than Reaper
Have fun "shredding" people as Reaper when they just pick you off from double your effective range

>Why play Widowmaker, when you could play Hanzo?

Widowmaker does far, FAR more damage and Hanzo's ult is really only good for pushing a point, so he's less useful on defense, whereas Widow's ult is literally always good

>Why play Zenyatta when you could just play Lucio?

Zenyatta hits a thousand times harder and his projectiles are far easier to hit with

Summary, you're retarded

>tasty beverage

shit taste

No way that's true, by that logic, Reinhard is fucking 5 meters tall.

>want to hop on and play one game before going to bed
>play junkrat
>win, potg, 20 eliminations

Feels comfy. Gnight

I don't get it. His McCree video was pretty decent, but half of these clips are genuinely unimpressive.
>slapping together random clips and just throwing unfitting music on top
Apparently he feels the same way.

>play against HuK
>remember this is the name of some washed up SC2 "pro"
>wonder if he streams
>its actually him
>he's completely awful and only stacks 4+
kek

Please be posting Zarya ))))

>Reaper over Tracer
>Hanzo over Widow

Is this bait?

"Map Control"
If there was no sniper people would whine about good tanks being to hard to handle, healers not getting picked or whatever the dps of the week is.

>it's just a shitty wheel kill

NERF WIDOWMAKER

>Why play Tracer when you could play Reaper
>Why play Widowmaker when you could play Hanzo
I really hope this is just a really long bait. I refuse to believe someone is this stupid.

>The people who designed Widow literally went through a checklist of every typical sniper class weakness and gave her a tool to nullify each one

Deeply rooted suspicion that the people who made this game are terrible at first person shooters.

Someone post that little comic about this, where 76 tells Junkrat to straighten his posture.

I'm sure I'm asking a dumb question but does anybody with a gtx970 wanna share how well it performs with overwatch?
I keep getting very vague answers

I think I should stop playing Genji

AYYY I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD POST

They won't

1. Use your map-crossing jump to land on top of their back line
2. Fuck up their supports and snipers
3. Even if they kill you, you've disrupted the shit out of them and your team can swoop in while the enemy team is focusing on your giant gorilla self

The ult is for the same purpose, giving you a dickload of health so you can rampage in the middle of a team in such a way that they can't ignore you, but focusing you will get them killed

It can also be used to knock people off a point and off of cliffs

very vague

...

Half the cast abilities are inspired by fps hacks so I'd imagine

>Reaper ults team on cart
>block almost all the damage with zen
>help with 4 kills
>POTG is the torb who put a turret on the cart and then died

>Zenyatta over Lucio

I pity your teammates.

Ryuu ga waga teki ga KURAU! :^)

thanks

>not being the hero Symmetra who puts a sentry and then flies off the map

youtube.com/watch?v=V9MNfm6L1KA

Not a single drop or stuttter at max settings. Unless your CPU is bottlenecking you, you should have 0 issues.

>lost twice to sters pharah
>with the variety memers on my team
It was fucking embarrassing.

>Attacking payload on the coastal map
>We have a dorf
>Assume he's gonna be cheeky and put the turret on the payload since I'm Reinhardt
>He's putting the turret at previous checkpoints
>I think he thought we were defending or something
>We also have three tracers
>Me and Mercy pushed the payload from the start to the third checkpoint without seeing a single teammate
Holy shit. I'm not saying me ooga, but team was definitely booga

Gotcha f a m

>Sniper
>killing tanks
Widows biggest issue is oneshotting everyone but tanks, but okay.

How the fuck does bait this weak get this many replies?

It's like he's fly fishing with a brick.

how do I use grey fox's ult?

I didn't say Zenyatta is better, I'd say there's a reason to play one over the other in certain circumstances
If your team only has one offense hero and you need damage, Lucio's superior healing won't do shit because you'll just be dying slightly more slowly

I do think Lucio is better, but there are times where Zenyatta is a better idea

>caring about k/d ratio

I get 60fps at near max settings. My cpu bottlenecks though so I have a couple things turned down, the 970 is more than enough.

appreciate it

Why? You get two backline harass kills and you've done your job.

I assume its more the 35% winrate user

I'm more concerned about the 35% winrate with him

Even when I do really well with Genji, we seem to still get fucked up

Use before engaging, be sure sure to know where most of the enemies are, don't be afraid to use E.
It's really a braindead ult, just be sure to kill Mercy/Lucio first.

So what happens when you reach lvl 100? Do you keep going or are you reset back to 1?

Pretty sure hes noting his T H I R T Y F I V E % winrate.

>Half
You mean two?

...

>be ilios
>instant pick Lucio

Am I the only one that does this? It's hella fun knocking people into the well or off the side of the lighthouse. Especially when it's other Lucios.

You use it and then you run very fast at incredibly hihg speeds

Ohhhh shit

Probably because it's long enough to catch their attention.

This game just isn't fun without a group of friends.

>smug Lucio thinks he knocked me into the pit as Mercy
>almost to the bottom
>teammate walks by the edge and I fly back out

Not getting BLACKED today, son

if their only healer is mercy or zen just jump on them, bubble, kill them, then jump out
they will switch to lucio or lose

if you're playing against a good team who has 2 supports go for the non-lucio but don't just jump into the whole enemy team if you don't have your ult or your team isn't right behind you

fuck any widow you see
fuck any genji you see going after your squishes

>Wall running in the hole in the middle and dragging overtime on way too long

T-thanks Blizzard
Reset, get a star next to your rank.
Kind of like CoD prestige.

im jelly

Alright, thanks famigos
Just trying to set up my own pc for once since mine was a dated gift

I have a GTX 960 that gets solid 60 fps, except in the character select screens where blur and particle effects are insanely high. It normalizes as soon as gameplay starts, with maybe 3 fps dips every couple of seconds or when lag hits.

>pic related, settings

I assume the 970 will only be more of the same, but with higher reflection settings since it is slightly better.

Would it be possible to refund this game and then buy it again on another account? Will this get me in trouble with Blizzard? I've made too many mistakes on my current account and I cannot simply life with these flaws on my account.
