1st for UPDATE TIME

>he isn't in the top 1% of skill mmr

3rd for curse your internet if you're still downloading the update

xth for Sombra It's happening

WOAH THERE

I can't do this
Someone please give me a reason

is it up on europte too?

when u tri ur bes


but u don suicid

Okay /owg/.

I just encountered a stack of probably 3-4 people+2-3 randoms that went 2 reapers, 2 genjis, tracer, and lucio for koth overtime.

I had no idea what to pick so I just decided to stick with winston.

How do you counter this? Reapers melt tanks, genjis+tracer melt pretty much everything squishy but lucio.

The only thing that comes to mind right now is pharah, but it was point that has pretty low ceiling, so I wouldn't be able to fly exactly above the point without genjis raping my ass.

Don't get me wrong, we were able to kill them, we held the point for like 2 minutes, but it was impossible to get rid of all of them at once. You all know that solid tracer can extend overtime a lot. Eventually, they managed to kill us all, cap it, and hold it.

...

Will it be Ana?

>payload
>both teams push to the end
>coinflip instead of stopwatch

k

it's mostly comp play changes
also zarya's alt fire is fixed
anbd fixed mercy's staff bug

literally every competitive game where the teams are remotely balanced

>taking pride on hook priority over blink priority

wat

Can you headshot 2 people with 1 bullet as Windowlicker?

PSA:

Relying on the Roadhog being shit and missing his hook is NOT a viable counterplay to roadhog

>Pre-nerf widow
>"Shes not that strong, she doesnt have homing bullets, she might miss!"

>Pre-nerf McCree
>"he might miss his stun + fan!"

>Pharah
>"She might miss her rockets!"

You cant balance the game around shitter plays

>blizzard
>subverting expectations
>ever
of fucking course its gonna be her
who else could it possibly be

Is it me or is Torb the snowballiest character in the entire game?

Reposting it in this thread because the other one just ended;

Hey, /owg/, what do you think of the in-game voice chat?
strawpoll.me/10680941

>Zarya's M2 and Mercy's beam are fixed

FUCKING FINALLY. THANK YOU JEFF.

terrible idea 2bh lads

Post your cute dva pictures

>mercy is a pacifist
>with a gun

I hate Mercy

except that it's easy for pharah to miss because it's not hitscan it's projectile and prediction

you just need to have better movement

>Sombra
>Spanish name
>Documents in Mexico
>It's totally this Egyptian army person

FUCK THEY NERFED MEI

How were they broken?

Post all notes

There must be a better way to stop this

>the guy that bitches about roadhog is the same guy that says pharah is overpowered

I knew your posts sounded familiar.

I'm an average player with a ranked score of 56, I play a lot of widow but people on my team always complain when I pick her, sometimes they are extremely rude. I think I do alright.
I played a game last night in Gibraltar, defense, as widow for most of it. Whole time I was playing my team was saying just awful things like "get off widow, you suck" and "kill yourself". I don't have a problem switching if my team needs a better comp but since they were being so mean I decided to just keep playing widow. I thought I was doing fine anyways. They kept being verbally abusive the whole game, yelling into their mics. We lost, but it was a close game.
Game ends and in chat for all to see my whole team was like: "gg 5v6 our widow was useless and did nothing", "5v6 our widow is a fa**ot"
Immediately after that the enemy team responded with comments like, "lol, widow was your best player", "widow literally carried your team", etc.
It was really cool to see the enemy team defend me (and watch the jerks on my team rage in response) and felt really good to know I was doing alright even though my team was a bunch of dicks. Not much else to say I guess, there are jerks out there but there are good people too.

patch

But will she be an amputee :^)?

- Bombastic overtime music shouldn't start until near overtime on payload anymore.
- Display settings not saving on client restart bugfix
- 4k resolution UI bugfix
- Wrong player level appearing on Social Menu fixed
- A couple spots in Nepal where D.Va could pop self-destruct and have it visibly hidden from view but still kill targets was fixed.

>Heroes
- Zarya snapshot bug removed
- Mercy beam won't disconnect when switching quickly or not facing the target

- "Top 500" icon no longer lies to the Internet and you.

>mfw just got my first golden gun

Self defense doesn't mean she likes it

>we'll see much less Zerya's in games from now on
B A S E D

what now?

>win 3 games
>gain only 1 rating because of leavers
>lose 1 game
>lose 1 rank

epic mm

>Tracers ultimate cant one shot people
>Can easily be survived by Ice block, wraith form, zarya barrier,zenyatta ult, lucio ult, torb ult, recall or just being a tank and having enough health

>Roadhog 6 second cooldown 280 damage minimum combo with hook shoot melee
>Unavoidable because le hook priority

>This is on a hero with 600 hp and a low cooldown 300 hp heal
>"Roadhog is fine"

Reminder if you think Roadhog is fine as is you are literally shit at the game and your opinion isnt valid, and your posts will be replied to with

>Thats not fine AlleySwine!

Ana already is

Think she's more against her healsquirt tech being used for weaponization not that "war is like... bad man"

Zarya's M2 had some snapshotting shenanigans.

Mercy's beam would disconnect if you tried switching from damage to healing and back quickly.

>My healing is meant to save lives of our agents!
>Arming them with a gun when they enter a combat zone is a slippery slope though

Mercy please.

wow that patch is really sobering

SHE'S NOW FATTER

>that genji at 6:40 who couldn't take out a widowmaker who was barely trying
thanks for the laughs maebbie

Zarya with her graviton grenade had it lock onto her current form damage and stay like that the entire game.

She does a 90 energy bomb on you? It's locked to that damage no matter how low her charge is.

>how do I help the people?
>Oh I know! I give them a sniper rifle!

>healing sniper

how fucking stupid

Zenyata ult cannot protect people from burst damage, anyone under 400 health will still die.

is the roadhog ult bug fixed?

thoughts?

THANK FUCK

Perfect patch notes

>implying it won't be experimented as a bio-agent delivery system
Splitting the atom was about providing energy now look at us.

>healing sniper rifle
>will be considered shit because people will keep missing their healing shots
Also
>tfw a Japanese anime arcade game used this concept first

>someone first picks widow
>I grab my Rein and tell team to get 2 healers and strong front line
We did well that game.
But what your team sees and what the enemy team sees are much different.
We had a genji on KotH who the enemy insisted was "doing work", but I never felt the impact.

I meant that Zeny himself can avoid the ulti by going invuln

Although tbf if his allies get close to him when he ults while stuck he might kill them too. But then that was gonna happen anyway, at least he lives

THAT being said, its not like the pulse bomb radius is actually good

What, where the camera would spaz out and jerk in a random direction?

That was fixed last week.

Pretty much.

Carrying with Roadhog is so ridiculously easy now when you can't get Mcmemed on.

Well you literally cannot miss him so there's that

Boy dva does things to my dick

A
FUCKING
COINFLIP

yeah that one
cool, havent played roadhog in a while

>it ain't me starts playing

To anyone with a win rate higher than 50%: How the fuck did you do it?

Freeway boar's hook interacts well with tracer

PATCH NOTES

more winstons, more tracers

they arent addressing hero balance and probably wont for the next few weeks, this doesnt solve anything, attackers will stomp anyway

This official?

it's just a buff Shinji

Maybe if the defense heroes were actually good outside of the two snipers that cant hold a point to save their lives, sudden death wouldn't need balancing and wouldnt be so skewed towards attackers

As it stands now all you need to do is have one genji/tracer backdoor the enemy to get the timer started and then once the enemy starts pouring in past the choke its over for the defending team

>I meant that Zeny himself can avoid the ulti by going invuln
that would be a massive waste of his ult then, and a win for the Tracer, since now he can't use it to defend against stronger ultimates. Also why would she use her bomb on zenyatta when she can melt him.

>Fixed Primal Rage
I didn't even know it was bugged thought it just sucked. Does doo doo damage unless you knock em off or pin em

I hate you attention whoring retards who don't even read the thread

Fuck you

I agree that it's bullshit.

How do we fix it? Increase hook cooldown? Remove the stun from it?

Yeah, it was posted to their Twitter page at 10:00 AM sharp this morning

>Be Zenyatta
>Be outside hook range or see him throw it
>Ded Roadhog

Are we still pretending the game is good?

>No indication(map) for callouts to be useful
>No server selection
>Coinflip
>Hero stacking
>McRee overnerfed
>No new content/infrequent balancing

Who'd you buy and show me your highlight intro.
I hate this gaudy shit but I can't help it

Turn the game off when you feel Forced Fifty's glans on your sphincter.

He isn't exactly subtle about it.

According to some guy on reddit apparently sudden death is getting removed completely in season 2.

Hopefully it just shoots S:76 healing canisters or air bursts or something like that.

Having to pinpoint hit your allies would be cancer though.

what does gr mean

>hangul

how's that rank 99 going kim?

Hence why he has 3-4x the hp of other heroes and his heal that heals for more than most heroes hp in a couple seconds

It's not supposed to do a lot of damage, it's supposed to let you be a huge distraction for your team. The problem with it was its hit detection was retarded.

>he just keeps going and going and going.

It's because she's fighting against the corrupt corporation that owns the last checkpoint on Dorado.

>rolled sudden death defense 5 times in a row
Fuck you Blizzard.

>Based out of Mexico
>In the 2070s, it means she must be Mexican

fuck you the crusaders crossbow is fun as shit

Who's not a total bitch
And is also probably an attention whore and a slut
Which means ez qt bp

>4k UI fix
wew, thought my overclock was unstable and creating artifacts

good round

Don't forget about the terrible map designs with only one choke points, and the weighted points for attack or defense.
