>phara nerf when
?

she just got basically deleted from the game

Pharah just got indirectly nerfed by the McCree buffs, he fucks her up pretty bad right now and he's a popular pick

Any top 500 player solo q most of the time?

I've only been able to reach rank 68 and it's been a struggle, should I just give up and try to find a group? or do I just need to git gud

>Phara nerf when?
She was indirectly nerfed by the McCree and D.va buffs. A Winston buff would also fuck her over

just posting my favorite webms

did i just get transported to like 2007

How would you feel?

>there are people calling for Roadhogs heal to be nerfed or removed

Holy hell, whats wrong with people? Roadhog is a tank with no shields, no armor and no way to block attacks. He takes full damage from everything. All hes got is his heal. If you took it away he would be the easiest target ever as he lumbered towards healthpacks.

Also you can easily outdamage the heal as anything but a support class. Hes a stationary target. If you are not hitting double damage headshots on him all the time he is healing then what are you doing with your life?

Post yfw McREEEEEEEEEEEEEE is back

zen buff is also big nerf to phara

i'd be concerned about all the donut glazing on my dick whats up with that

surprised that didn't get play of the game

BANG.

...

With some characters, they don't do enough damage to him so I can understand why they'd complain. As D.Va, I look for my own health pack as soon as he starts healing and hope that someone else is with me to do damage.

who do you mainly play as?

>rank 68
I got up to rank 58, then deranked due to solo q gamble all the way down to 52, and ever since then I've been juggling between 51-53. Yes, I am usually the best on the team, with gold medals and all that shit, but I won't pretend that I'm good enough to solo carry. What is the best way to escape this literal hell?

If anything should be nerfed about Roadhog, it's definitely the hook and not the heal.

still needs rocket damage nerf to 80 and remove knockback on normal rockets

Get friends

So she's gonna be useless

this

Someone posted a webm of a roadhog getting trapped and rained hell upon by a junkrat and he just drank his sippy cup while taking all the hits to the face like no big deal, and lived to run away

Team up. Just do it. Even me and a buddy who should both be ranked 70+ in an ideal world are struggling above 60.

>That 4th July slump when I solo'ed tho.

what the fuck are you talking about honestly how can you possibly think pharah needs to be nerfed that hard

She'd see absolutely with a damage reduction that huge. Nerfing a character with clear, all-around powerful counters that hard is ridiculous.

Whats wrong with his hook?

Mostly fill but I focus on getting offense/tank heroes. I'm not really good at Rein or Mercy though so I avoid them

I would love to get more friends but most of the friends who are good at the game that I've made are abstaining from competitive play, and are just doing quick play

>tfw can't whether Mercy or young Ana is bestgirl

Play support. Playing mercy magically elevated me from 52 to 67. Dunno why though, it implies that most mercy players are shit.

How dose /owg/ feel about ana not being hitscan?

Mostly the hitbox. Getting pulled around walls into instant death is pretty annoying.

>player named BestGenji
>picks genji
>does nothing
>no medals
>worst genji
>just another day of rank 60

She is though?

>tfw I have actually good taste and can't choose between Widow and Pharah

good riddance, the more phara shitters will cry the better

It's hitscan, but there's a travel time after. you were not hooked behind a wall, you were hooked when he could see you.

I hope you're never on my team

>I can't aim the post

She's hitscan when scoped, projectile when hipfire.
I like it, gives a reason to switch between them.
The thing about playing a healer is that it's pretty much impossible to carry. You will live or die by your team's skill.

>Good taste
>proceeds to show his absolute pleb-tier taste

retard??

I would add you, but eh idk if I am decent enough, I got to 53 as career high with friends but gambled it with solo and now I am 49. I played in higher tier matches against 60s and high 50s and did well. I am just impatient and want to frag

People will literally cry about anything in this game.

i have never before come across someone who hates pharah like this wants her to get gutted

do you play on console or what

even in the previous meta she was just good, not some incredibly powerful cancer pick

now she is weak

Poll lads

strawpoll.me/10791017

Holy shit ana is fucking horrible but incredibly fun

You've never been hooked through the ceiling? Roadhog hook hitbox is humongous.

If you're asking for advise on how to solo carry, play the off tanks. I played nothing but Zarya for my placement matches and I placed 62. Then played Zarya/Roadhog/Genji to get to 67. Now I'm stuck so I'm trying to fill but it's not really working, so idk I don't even know how to find a team.

horrible in what way

Ana is hitscan while scoped in

None of the heroes are bad enough to be considered the worst.

>player named BestGenji
>worst genji
I think this might be intended

>who should both be ranked 70+ in an ideal world
based on what

Ana q is pretty broken.

Not remotely comparable to mercy or lucio. Her skill floor/ceiling is MUCH higher too.

She has the potential to be amazing but I can't realistically see people picking her over either of them, despite having a very strong kit.

Roadhog's hook is not hitscan.

His ego

if you consistently do a better job at supporting than the supports on the enemy team you will rise in ranks since in long term all the other things balance out

it might take more games and more effort than playing dps but it's still possible

3 of them have some of the lowest playrates and are considered shit
Ana is on there for being questionable but I can't see her being a good pick

Ana is good, but only on a good, coordinated team.

>ana is good on paper

ok

There is too much shit that can go wrong with the need to actually land snipes to heal + lower potential healing than either support.

Imagine if mercy instantly lost heal beam on los, people would lose their minds.

outhealed a mercy last game 9kish,nothing more fun than putting a 76,Mctasty,hog or genji during a ult

>About to capture point.
>We take out most of the other team but only a Reinhart and Tracer are left alive.
>Reaper teleports in and uses ult.
>Reinhart walks TOWARDS Reaper with shield up and lets them in.
>Him and Tracer die.
>Still win game but that was retarded.

This means literally nothing since there is absolutely no info on the game length/how the game played out, your skill level, the games skill level + how bad mercy was.

I seriously think something is really broken in the competitive matchmaking. Placed around 45, then played a lot and got a winstreak to 62, after a couple of games a lose streak to 52. I get a bit tilted and keep playing and i win a game. After one win i go back to 63 with a win streak.

MEI

Well okay, I get it, the hitboxes changed and my M2 is pretty shit now, fine I can deal with it

HOWEVER
I can't deal with my wall not lifting me up and getting me killed
I can't deal with my ult now bouncing off players (what the fuck man?)
I can't deal with being unable to freeze a Rein who has his shield up even though I am right in his face

She got nerfed really fucking hard

Alright so I'll share some stories from the PS4 side of this game.
>there are people who haven't raised the sensitivity of their analog sticks yet
>bastions in turret mode rotate slowly on default settings, making them not the shitter hero that bastions are known for since they can be killed so easily
>nobody counters torbjorn turrets, they would walk and die cause people never see them and never deal with them first
>widowmaker is never picked, hanzo will always be the sniper
>symmetra is a direct reinhardt counter because all the reinhardt players don't turn off their sheilds when in close range
>nobody jumps around to avoid fire when they're caught by the opponent

Ana is Symmetra of this patch

You need a main healer while ana does support

I feel like they should up Ana's shot damage up a little bit more but she is pretty over powered with her knock out and nano boost. So I'm at an impasse

From what I see, people just want to be America's top sniper with her more than healing the team. She could ruin the game cause of shitters not knowing the team comes first, then kill.

Based on the fact I've seen sub-50 gamur grillz get picked up into a party cause they promise 'noodz' and see them at 70+ after getting carried.

Based on the fact every shooter I've touched since online existed and scoreboards were up I ranked in the top 1% or higher percentile.

Based on the fact that in Solo Q won a 3v6 Lijang 3-0 and my team didn't do shit.

Dropped another 4 ranks tonight despite being clearly the best person on either team in every single game.
Who else /permatilted/ here?

Side note, why is there no medal for least deaths?

I get what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure having another [role here] is more valuable.

This

>Spam "I need healing" at our Ana and stand infront of her
>She is actively moving around me to shoot enemies

FUCK OFF

>McCree is OP, have the best game of my life as him, literally multiple POTG tier situations
>still lose
>D.Va is OP, have the best game of my life as her, 4 golds
>still lose
>let's try Zen
>carry even more hopeless team than the two before with barely any effort
Welp, I guess it's useless unless I play a hero that can fill literally all the roles on the team on their own.

Iktf, play on Xbone and it's amazing how people seem to never expect, or know what to do against turrets.

suppose so, aslong as you can aim and use your grenade proper ive had no problem keeping everyone alive, and having the utility to stop high threats

wall doesn't displace?
snowcone dispenser doesn't ignore shield?

I'm too scared of playing competitive to even finish my placements.

Quick play is enough to make me salty to the point where I haven't played without -75% xp in like a week.

You could say that about a lot of other characters user.

Ana is great for pushes but sometimes to get there is shit if there's no other healer or the team is ass.

That's why I'm at an impasse. I've seen teams win sole to Ana but I've seen contrary.

Meh. She's situational that could use some more dps if people are going to use her more. Her snipes can easily be ruined because someone stepped in front of her.

pretty flimsy arguments

you can get carried in OW sure thats definititely a weakness of dynamic queue and the lack of separate solo rank

but good players can still reach good ranks solo. surefour's 2nd account on which he always solo queues is 82.

>browse google for dank overwatch memes
>come across the overwatch tumblr headcannon page
>all these keks

>Everygame is just 2 D.va's holding M2 and nothing gets done

Anyone think the duration of her defense matrix is too much for a toggle-able?
Bitch eats ults and there isn't much counterplay to it because it has no fucking CD

>flank ana
>she dies

>no movement
>no self heals

Because that would encourage widowmakers and hanzos to NEVER stand on the point

Why did Pharah have a poster of Reinhardt when she was young?

>2

Anymore slowmo

Any decent Zarya should be having a fucking blast 24/7, her laser pointer isn't stopped by matrix.

Doesn't her E heal her?

it just keeps on coming

try using laser-based heroes like zarya or harambe and dedicate yourself killing those gooks

Why didn't you have a poster of Reinhardt?
