How the fuck do I play ranked? Is it available on NA only or am I missing something?

Objective tier list of maps

>God tier

is there anywhere i can get this game for less than 40 dollars? i dont want to spend all of my money on this game. im poor

Mercy nerf when

that's not something good players do ya dingus

What's a good, surefire counter for Zarya?

idk just b urself man

STOP PLAYING TORB ON ATTACK

the dropdown by the play button for america/eu/asia, click on PTR and install overwatch again, then you can play it

>all that money
Jesus fuck deep discounts are the worst thing to happen to PC gaming.

yeah but chances are it will be a copy purchased with stolen money

so you'll end up losing out in the end

Balance changes I feel need to be made:

>Nerfs:

>Zarya
>Increased cooldown on all shields
>Decreased weapon charge from shield hits

>Mercy
>Drastically decrease Ultimate charge rate, perhaps to a third or a quarter of what it is now

>Mei
>No longer contests/captures points while in Cryo-freeze

>Buffs:

>D.Va
>Either increase projectile damage, or move speed while shooting
>Either make headbox smaller, or make Meka form take less damage than normal from headshots

>Zenyatta
>Increase movespeed slightly

It's on public test region

Post ranks you got from placements.
I won 8 out of 10 and got 54.

NERF WINSTON

Its just a game man :^)

awful
completely ignores the real problem
im alright with this
dont care
sure

eh ok ill buy it fuck it

>things i have problems with

Reaper also contest points in wraith form, get good.

You play genji dont you

...

Do I just keep trying to get into PTR when it's just giving me server errors? I thought it would put you in a queue?

Every time someone suggests a change to Mercy's ultimate, they never actually suggest something that fixes it. Why is this

pharah is ok if you can get in a good position

Make it require LOS

There, it's fixed.

what? can you elaborate

What would "fixing it" be? Make it single target only? Only work in a small AOE?

1. pick pharah
2. justice her face

as long as she doesn't have high charge reaper can take care of her

I CANT KILL ANYONE WITH THIS FUCKING CHARACTER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>one of the longest cds in the game
>increasing if further

never

at best you're just gonna charge her weapon for her with pharah

That anything at the $30- $40 price range is too expensive.

THANK GOD FOR BASTION
THANK GOD FOR THE MACHINE

if you're a cute girl, or actually, if you're just a girl and have a camera i think we can make a deal, in private of course

Symmetra needs a nerf.
Not in damage, hp, or any of that shit.

She needs to be more noticeable when she's damaging you.
Her M1 and turrets are the stealthiest thing in the game, stealthier than fucking Genji.

the ult will break through her shield and kill her

its a surefire way as long as you dont die

do you not play with sound on

People's unwillingness to pay full price for games goes hand in hand with the industry's fixation on micro-transactions.
When publishers are involved, it leads to worse games.

This is great

Bastion in an unpredictable position that will move to ambush, can shred through her shield and her in no time. Reaper dropping on her right after personal shield shreds through her, a Zenyatta slapping a discord orb on her helps a lot. Yes her shield gets rid of it but her shield has a cool down time and your orb doesn't. Best strategy is to isolate her from her team, like any tank away from their team and focused by yours they go down.

>i have bad awareness, so it needs a nerf
Can you fucks go back to LoL and Dota? even the Hat Fortress 2 boys don't complain that much.

what's all the hype I hear about mouse sensitivity?

Still ridiculously powerful.

I think the revive happening at the end of her animation would be a step in the right direction toward fixing it. It's dumb that you revive people at full fucking health the second you press Q, there's very little you can do to prevent it other than killing the Mercy before she can actually do it (which isn't a real counter).

At least this way people have a chance to stop you from instantly shitting out 5 healed up teammates.

>shoot her with reaper
>she reflex shields and you are now fucked because you're up close and the only way out is wraith

so that's it, just wait for a pharah ult and that's how you stop Zarya?

are you deaf
her m1 is literally BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ in your ears

are you also blind because her m2 is giant fucking blue orbs (the only ones that actually hurt anyways)

Just do surveys online for gift cards, you can get like $50 a week doing so.

>Have to reinstall the entire game
>None of your progress carries over to the full game
>Only 10k players supported at once

Why does anyone give a fuck about the PTR, then? Do we have an ETA on when it comes out for the full game? Seems like a lot of hassle just to play some slightly better matches with the same people.

>She needs to be more noticeable when she's damaging you
How about the damage indicators that tell you when you're being hit and from which direction the damage is coming from?

holy fuck

that or work as a team, like youre supposed to

Most top fps player play with low dpi and sensitivity, often needing 30 cm (12 inches) to do a 360

Using only your wrist to look around on high sensitivity is seen as inferior

One shotgun blast is not enough to give her high charge user.

The majority of Zarya's will use their barriers in a predictable fashion the same way most Genjis use their reflect in a predictable fashion, just go into Wraith when they pop it and kill them after.

The invincibility effect for the revived players should be shorter/gone as well.

Once they're moving they should be able to take damage.

Those of you on the PTR, how many games did you win for placements in competitive, and what rank did you end up?
>8/10
>54

why is there hype about mouse sensitivity

ETA is end of the month so probably the 28th

whoa really? what website do you use?

PTR is for testing
of course it's a lot of hassle, it's just for fucking spergs

where is your common sense @

ok i just bought this piece of shit now what
give me some pro tips while its downloading

Pharahs and Junkrats are too reliable for gaining charge, their projectile weapons make it easy for any decent Zarya to farm for energy. True her ult can drop her but that doesn't help the overall match with dropping her once in a while. Winstons and Torbs are also horrible to have against her, Winstons never stop firing when they engage and Torb turrets never stop firing at their target.

shoot people in the head to kill them faster
know when to retreat
no one really cares if you have a main character you play.

yeah, list the other heroes that need a coordinated team to deal with by themselves

if you can get away with that while she's fucking off in a blob where she always is without fail, you're far more talented than I am

Stay the fuck away from Mei, you see any kind of red ice bullshit you fuck right off in the other direction and kill her at a distance.

instagc

As in the name you get gift cards instantly rather than other sites that make you wait a week or more. Really good shit, I can get most games at release free because of the site.

You guys aren't shitters that try to flank with Reaper, are you?

You guys aren't shitters that try to tank with Roadhog, are you?

The CoD dream is real lads

>toblerone's "I'm giving it all I've got!" line

swedish as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

>don't believe in forced 50
>just lost a 3 minute anubis game followed up by winning a 2 minute anubis game

iis this what you call a chibi?

just fucking play reinhardt

yeah but what kind of questions do those surveys even ask
>what's your credit card info
>haha it's okay we won't tell anybody, here's a gift card
>what's your social security number?

have fun
and
dont
fuck it up

it's only fair that a character that relies on her team working with her to ever be good needs a team to deal with her

it goes both ways

So why do people think this game won't be dead in 5-6 months? It doesn't have the depth of most online PvP games, it's way too casual and clusterfuckish.

I'm not saying it doesn't take skill, but the ability to market and watch enjoyable games is next to impossible. This games PvP will be like WoW's PvP.
Entertaining but not at all taken seriously.

Do compy bucks buy you the weapon for every characer's skin? Or do you have to, say, buy individual weapons for both Bloodhardt and Blackhardt?

>You guys aren't shitters that try to flank with Reaper, are you?

????

he has a skill that is specifically designed for flanking

sure you can bully people with wraith but flanking is reaper's bread and butter

If she's in a group and you're on your own then there's no reason for you to try and kill her anyway, I assume you meant a 1v1 scenario.

If it's a 1v2 or worse as any hero vs any other hero then 9 times out of 10 you should just get out.

try not to get yourself killed out there

>turn corner as Roadhog
>run headfirst into Reinhardt with his shield up
>just stands there blocking as I walk up, stick my scrap gun through his shield and blast his face off
Why do 95% of Reinhardt players just not comprehend the fact that the enemy can also pass through your shield? Most of them don't even drop the shield after the first shot, like they think it's going to somehow protect them from getting hit again after I'm already behind it. And it's so satisfying to hook them if they try to charge point-blank.

They actually tried changing res to happen at the end of the animation in beta when they nerfed her ult to having a range (you used to be able to res your entire team from anywhere on the map, 5 man res from spawn was common) and she was absolutely garbage and never picked.

in close is a good place to be when facing Zarya, at medium range she can keep her face melting laser on you easily. Reaper is easily the best way to kill her, just like any tank, but a pharah that can get direct hits can kill her easily without much coming back in retribution.

Still the best way to kill a Zarya is to outnumber her. She can't deflect sustained fire.

i have a really bad problem, the sounds seem to come from random even when someone is to the right of me it will sound like they're far away or to the left and i can't fix it.

You fags even said the game would be dead on release.

I have awful flashbacks of LoL ranked
hope this might not be so painful

there's that depth mEmE again

they're a new cosmetic type so yes to the former question no to the latter

TF2 has been going for nine years

they go across all skins for that hero yes
they'd be out of their fucking minds if they were seperate

Reminder that is the type of shitter you share these boards with.

oh hey I really didn't expect them to do the alternate guns. That's pretty cool.

Also wow that model looks like garbage now that I see all of it.

because how many people do you think played World of Warcraft for the PvE or PvP depth when it was the most casual MMO of its time?
