Honest question here why is it so hard for people to grasp the basic concepts of the game. I mean theres a huge area with a mark on it that you are supposed to stand on to capture and stay close to protect. WHY do you feel the need to spawn camp and fail even at that? WHy do you ignore the goddamn cart youre supposed to push its not fucking hard. Seriously these people annoy me more than the hanzo /widow lockers

>more than one person should be on the payload

Healer win vs healer loss literally the next game. Explain this please. I have a positive winrate and am consistently losing ranks. I have now lost 12 ranks since placement. This is not working correctly nor is it fair.

Blizzard didn't design this map with obvious choke points so spawn camping is the best thing :^)

VALKYRIE MERCY IS TOO CUTE

HNNNNNNG

Lemme guess, your windows+virtual memory+game is on the same hard disk, right?

No monkey business tho.

>65% win rate in competitive
how long until I fly too close to the sun?

were they underdogs?

Torb is amazing, I instalock him in a few scenarios.

Put the turret in a place that covers a lot but can't be seen from the choke, and defend the choke with your amazing gun. If they force you back, your turret will confuse them and you can break the push. If they try to flank, turret will fuck them up and let you know they're there. If you die, just Molten core. If your team dies and you have defend alone, just molten core. And don't forget to pick up scrap so you can give a +75 buff to your entire team AND heal yourself in a pinch.

The other day I actually got the meme POTG of walking back from spawn while my turret molten core's people to death, shit is hilarious.

No, both teams were average rank 36 on both games.

English pls

You count for 1 out of 6 people on your team, leaving 5 wild cards that may be shit at the game

The enemy team has 6 wild cards that might be shit

If you're so good, it will average out that you win more games than lose because you're "so good" and can carry

Just get good

;^)

How do I stop being a healslut
pls

It moves fastest with three people so yeah, three should be close by as much as possible. No reason to over extend, other than a bit of harassing but most people fuck that up and make it easier to swarm the payload.

i could understand him. learn to read...

well you got little but you also lost little
did anyone disconnect on your team or the enemy team?

get good

Never mind me, just buy a console, they load faster. You are apparently too dumb for a PC.

I won 8 straight and then lost 6 straight.
I'm afraid to play competitive now.

Beep boop, son.
Beep boop.

What needs changed about Pharah, I'm fine with most of the rest by that one seemed off

>hanzo
>balanced

Literally the only way you contribute with him is if you are a complete god at aiming, it shouldn't be like that

Not even hitboxes can help when you can place cursor near head

Post your comp stats
So we can compare e-penors and whatnot

I lost all but two of my placement matches but after that when I actually got to play with people of equal rank it's been fast climb, so far enjoying comp more than quick play even with all the leavers and shit.

Thread was made 3 hours ago famalamalam

Go black, never go back.

I got a PotG on Numbani first, defense as Torb a couple days ago.
My entire team was pushed up, got wiped, and I was alone with my turret in the cubby with the 2 doors side by side.
I walked out, got some scrap that was laying around for a whopping 150, then proceeded to Molten Core and shoot a few to death. I was low health, still on molten core, so all I did was just look down and spam armor at my feet to survive long enough for my turret to wipe the team.
Felt GOOD AS FUCK

>the only way for a fucking sniper to be good is for them to have good aim
I'm not sure if you actually thought about what you were saying, but why the fuck would you make it so a sniper doesn't have to have good aim to be effective

Why are you playing support at that low rank? All you're doing is polishing turds.

Play DPS or carry tank like Zarya/Roadhog(shit even D.Va would work at this level) and be actually useful.

me on the left

I fully agree
thank you user

Nono

You can't nerf everything at once. This game relies too much on soft and hard counters. Buffing a soft counter while nerfing an offender might accidentally completely void said offender from the game.

Instead you need to directly identify current issues:
>Tracer stacking to extend overtime
Suggested fix: Rework overtime. Make Tracer spawn with 0 boost stacks to make it harder to reach the objective in time. Buff McCree.

>Mercy tempo rez
Suggested fix: Ult requires LoS and channel time.

>Double winston shitting up every game
Suggested fix: Tesla gun cannot stack.

These are the first things that should be addressed. Then we look at what floats up to the top next and address that in turn.

>Started using famalam when posting pics people wanted in /owg/
>Seeing it more and more

>playing with mates from other countries
>i use my horrible english and everyone understands me
Best kind of feel

What's a good win percentage? Should I play Mercy as much as possible given I have a 58?

Still should be linked in the previous thread tbhq famalam

>tfw i've never played genji
>tfw i get his best skin and 150 overcoins in a loot box

overall a good feel

feel with me and post those loot boxes, family

That's nice but I've been using it long before overwatch

2 games in a row people have refused to change characters. Does ranked get any better? or should I just quit now. Both of these games have been complete shit. I got 3 golds in game 1 and 4 in game 2.

permanent healslutting is probably best way to raise your winrate

but that would be real boring

Exactly.

I wouldn't put the turret on ground level though, I feel like your odds are a lot better if you put it on one of the walkway opposite the exits from the flanking corridors.

What im saying that he requires a lot more effort to be simply equal to others, it should be atleast a bit more rewarding considering how unreliable his ult is

>2 out 5 legendary skins are got were for Reinhardt
>I never play him
Also I don't get why people like the arab Genji skin so much, it just looks silly to me. Sparrow or Chrome all the way.

Nice, never seen it before, then again I browsed Veeky Forums and way way before that /b/ so.

senpai is censored so people say famalam instead

>me ooga
>team booga
>forced 50

it's terrible because you're completely at the Mercy of your team mates

hanzo's problem is integral to the game and its magnet hitboxes

you can't buff him without nerfing the hitboxes but the hitboxes being like that is because of the game's engine

>Needs significant buffing
>Zenyatta

I think he should fall under the rework category. He does so much fucking dmg for a support class if the player is any good but he's also the squishiest shitter in the game

I just don't think you could buff him in any way without toning back his damage output

Placement matches are shit
for me it immediately got better as soon as I was done with those.

Idk but in placement I was playing with handicapped monkeys or something, exactly same behavior. No changing classes, no communication, instalock genji / widow / hanzo while being bad with those, ragequitters etc.

I got placed something rank 40 but even there it was immediatly better, now at 50+ its much better games all around, just suffer the placements user and work from there

I don't pay particular attention to winrate usually but I was wondering what is considered 'good', my overall record is exactly 164/164 and I usually main Genji who's win rate is 48.7%...starting to use Zarya and realising how fun she is tho.

>25% Zarya
>50% Lucio
Literally how.

post fastest win.

>enemy team has two Symmetras
>every flank just melts you
>100% teleporter up time
>hitting the turrets with Roadhogs weapon is impossible

Just keep playing ranked if you don't care about the rank, atleast you'll move towards golden guns

I'd suggest a change to his ult but it's probably not gonna happen with all the lore and shit

Yeah could be I missed when people switched over, used to be they would just go with senpai.Still made me smile at first, which is slightly worry some since this is just a Buddhist monk mediation pose forum.

Why is it always Anubis anyway?

>Also I don't get why people like the arab Genji skin so much, it just looks silly to me
>while your playing a cyborg ninja that possesses a dragon which he solely uses for his katana who has a brother that also wields two dragon and shoot them as photon constructs

Maybe take a step back from what the fuck you're actually playing, m8

>and no one changes to junk / pharah where one rocket / grenade would clear all turrets

Everytime

>Discord orb should ignore barrier abilities.
>Transcendence should put a discord orb on everyone within its range when it activates.

There, fixed Zenyatta

>Sparrow

Except you forgot the literal source of his problem

He's too squishy

>junkrat

I have mixed feelings for him. He's an easy class for shitters and but also very good in the right hands. All my highest damage / kill games are just from lobbing grenades everywhere with next to no aiming

Nah

How's that even relevant to how a skin looks, obviously the game doesn't exactly take itself seriously, but that doesn't change the fact that some skins look sillier than others.

The hitboxes are honestly not that terrible (my most played is McCree and you can tell they are mostly faithful).

The problem is that Hanzo shoots literal cardboard boxes at people.

I DON'T KNOW. I was JUST playing king's row as lucio, we made an excellent push past the first checkpoint, and right in that little street before the 2 turns into the building, the whole team decides they want to rush ahead and get kills - and leave just the lucio on the payload.

What happens? They all get murked (as they are practically fighting in front of their spawn), and then I get murked. Then the jump ontop of the payload, and do a cheese setup of bastion, reinhartd and mercy ontop the payload and chese threw 1:30 of our time, until we can make the checkpoint.

1:30, lost, just because they wanted some elims.

Overwatch is reason enough of why some people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

>entire team just clicks
>everybody leaves

because of the way it's designed, it's very hard to bust open but it's also extremely hard for defenders to clear once attackers finally get a foothold

so when the game goes:

attacking team breaks first defense
curbstomps everybody at point A
six man rushes point B all with ults charged
pops all ults to clear point

then the defense literally cannot do anything to stop it

>WHY do you feel the need to spawn camp

There are some heroes that are meant to disrupt the enemy team (Tracer, Genji, D.Va) so the ones escorting the payload can do so safely.

dumb frogposter

Stop playing Genji and leave him to people who have watched every episode of Naruto like me

Yeah and it's just arabian themed. The middle east still exists in this world it's not too farfetched.

>D.Va
>Balanced

hitscan hitboxes are fine but projectile hitboxes are insanely busted. mercy's weapon basically magnetizes itself to heads. it's just more noticeable with hanzo because you see an arrow fly past you and suddenly you're dead because lolheadshot

i like hanzo but i hate the spamzo playstyle, i'd give anything for him to get trimmed down hitboxes and more utility or more mobility

Zenyatta isn't significantly more vulnerable than Mercy since his range is better and he can actually defend himself.

The problem is that he gets hardcountered by Reinhardt shield and Winston bubble.

>that terrible defensive comp

good thing they were clearly retards.

How about removing hero stacks, or at most 2 copies of the same hero?

Hero stacking completely defeats the purpose of hero diversity.

>destiny is r56

lmao that would make him ridiculous

Yeah- The game uses the same hitbox model for characters. It's just that the projectile hitboxes are fuckhueg.

I like Scimitars and I like the gold/white theme. I own all the gold/white skins actually.

If the helmet wasn't so silly I'd like it even more. Oh and the garterbelt.

On the other hand I don't understand why people use this one
The Katana is really ugly, it just looks pretty bad overall.
