>Game is running
No it god damn isnt!

I just had a rather amusing encounter with a level 41 zarya player, who accused me of being a shit player with awful aim after I killed him 3 times with pulse bomb sticks. I promptly declared that he was probably mad and his frustration seemed to grow even higher, saying that I was still shit at 125.

What causes people to get so angry about videogames?

if you place under rank 60 youre better of buying a new account and duo queue in placement matches next time.

CHEERS LUV THE BEEP BEEP IS HEEERE

This.

>watching a Swede on Twitch
>77 is top 250 in EU

...

> So what are our theories on sombras abilities?
Personal theory is that she can sneak around the place and debuff enemies
> Won't be too Killy as that's reapers job
Thinking disguises might be a thing, but due to the sheer number of characters it'd have to be restricted to a select few disguises

THAT TORBJORN A SHPEH

>bop bup bup BIIIIP BU BIIIIP
>BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
>everyone from my team is dead
>only I'm alive
>little girl mode D.Va with 6 hp, hiding in a side passage dead end

N-no team kill for you.

Shh, Hana is sleeping!!

>Hollywood on Offense as Mercy
>enemy torb tries to flank us
>he can't aim for shit
>start shooting him with pistol
>he Molten Cores in an attempt just to kill me
>dies anyway

Well, when you invest so much time and effort in them only for someone else to tell you it's not enough, of course you'd get upset. It's natural to get frustrated about things you care about. If you didn't care, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Tracer´s hands are FUCKING huge

>new skins
>"soon"
Can't wait for those skins my 3000 Overshekels burns.

The Internet
My uncle put it best
It's kinda like road rage, no one can see you so you lose all inhibition

Haven't seen a single webm where Pharah wasn't completely out of character. Doesn't even look like her. Completely different eyes, completely different hair, doesn't act like her, come on, fampais, put some effort in. At least rig the model properly.

b-but i don't have any friends

> So what are our theories on sombras abilities?
ok ok listen
how about
a stealth tank

>Reinhardt puts up a shield
>All 4 other team members go in front of the shield and get killed

>"I need healing!"
>Runs away from the healers and hides behind walls

>"We need a healer!"
>Picks Symettra

>"Prepare to Attack"
>Hanzo, Widowmaker, Torbjorn

>"Prepare to Defend"
>Tracer, Reaper, Reaper

Tell me again how low rank hell isn't real

>want to practice Tracer while I wait for maintenence to finish
>double McCree every fucking time

Jamison Fawkes is cute! Cute!

>only tank in team is roadhog
>only healer in team is symmetra

*wallrides behind Hana* Nothin' personnel... criança *breaks it down*

New ELO hell is now the 60s to low 70s.

>Average rank 61 game
>Defend on Hanamura
>Mei, Hanzo, and Torb picked

Why?

prison jumper pharah when

>finished placement matches and get rank 49
>not bad, ill just rank up along the way in soloq
>play 2 rank games
>each game, we lose first round
>each game, a person leaves
>each game, another person leaves after that person leaves

AM I HAVING FUN YET?

Gibraltar final few metres is never fun

>Billy has poor aim but good game knowledge and situational awareness
>Jimmy has excellent aim but horrible game knowledge and situational awareness

Who will rank up faster?

means nothing

80 mmr on china is like top 450 because they have more players

americas server has higher server population than EU sharing top 500 with south america and oceania they are only like 1 mmr higher than EU for top 500 though

Solution: Don't take the game so seriously. Play Quickmatch.

Probably waiting for Battleborns next feeble attempt at getting 100 extra players so they can stomp them just because they can

GEE I wonder why people pick a turret builder and a sniper on defense. Makes zero sense.

Billy, because you don't necessarily require aim to be helpful.

I made the mistake of buying this on PS4 how do I improve my shit aim or should I just rebuy and play on my crappy PC?

But how can you improve yourself in quickplay?

Eurotrash are awful at the game, what'd you expect?

70 in Rapefugee land is equivalent to 60 MMR in NA.

Reminds me of a game I had yesterday. Against a level 70 Genji main (in all fairness, he wasn't awful - he even managed to solo out Roadhog and Rein at one point), but I killed him about 4 times with McCree Flashbang+Headshot combo and he got so fucking pissed, spent half the game saying I couldn't aim. One time he was on the point (Ilios Ruins) on his own typing a message and I said Hello and shot him in the face. He ended up leaving the game.

You're looking at this wrong. Don't compare who is better, jsut give them jobs they're good at.

Force Billy to main Soldier 76 to make up for his aim, force Jimmy to main Widowmaker to make up for his tunnel vision.

Get a Xim4. It gives you an advantage over controller users and you'll stomp everybody.

Symmetra is so fucking dogshit, Holy fuck.

t. rank 20 playing with similar rank 20 idiots

Who would your rather have in your team?

>great player who's toxic as shit and will complain about every mistake you and your teammates make

>below average player who's a great teammate and has a cute voice that makes you question their gender

>tfw get 3 golds 4 medals as Symmetra
>8 commend votes and POTG
>still lost

apart from the eyes being slightly bigger (which could be written down to the facial expressions) I think it looks just like her

the first one. I can easily mute that person and get carried to the free victory.

anyone else rank >80 here?

How can you improve yourself playing basketball without being in the NBA?

You don't need magic numbers floating over you to tell you how 'good' you are. You don't need an official referee to tell you that you're getting better. I think you can tell when you get better because more of your shots will land, you start winning more than losing, etc. Y'all slave yourselves away for some made up number for what? For bragging rights? Bragging rights in Overwatch, out of all the other games you could have chosen to get better at?

Billy plays raid boss Reinhardt.
Hits top 500 in a week.

Jimmy tries to take on the world.
Rages in chat about having 4 golds.

No, she looks like Jasmin from Disney Aladdin. That's not Pharah. The hair is wrong too. It's too fat. Her hair is thinner and more detailed. And the animators always give her retarded expressions like she has no idea how to read or write. She's not retarded.

That's not even remotely close to being true. Europeans are just worse at the game than North Americans.

Yeah, the SFM Pharah looks like shit.

The Mercy one as well. Horseface as fuck.

Billy plays Harambe and becomes the backline harasser.
Jimmy plays WM and kills supports/squishies.

Aim is not a defining factor in Overwatch.

>tfw 5 eliminations on 3 rounds on Lijang is a gold medal.

How do I solo queue better?

So which country has the best Overwatch players? News sites were saying Korea, but I haven't heard anything about them lately. Are they even playing the game?

Play Hanzo or Widow

why is solo queue comp mode deranking simulator 2016

>widowmaker shoots me in the groin
>instant kill headshot
>shoot helix missiles in an almost dead reaper's face
>even the killcam shows them exploding in his fucking FACE
>they didn't even have a healer, he didn't pick any orbs up
>he takes no damage and proceeds to soloult me

This game is so fucking broken and the one thing people complained most about was "hanzo shooting logs"?

nice b8 make it less obvious next time

not yet. I'm struggling with getting in the mid 70s though me ooga team booga etc
getting in a team soon, maybe then I'll make it

Eh it's a bit pricey

SWIMMING SUIT MEI

>watching bad shows

Overwatch or League of Legends?

If you were stuck on a remote island with nothing to do but play one of these games for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?

>That's not Pharah
we'll agree to disagree
keep on disliking them
I'll keep on enjoying all the Pharah SFM content that fans put out (though I will always welcome more 'accurate' depictions of her if they'll ever come)

Is it just me or is Mercy's gun underrated?

Anyone has the comic with Mercy Roadhog and soldier 76, where road hooks a winston and Mercy says "why did you bring this upon us?" ?

Just happened to me with a Roadhoag who hooked a Zarya, and then proceeded to run away as I was healing him, Zarya killed me.

The same roadhog also took a medikit I was running to when he lost like 100hp and I was healing him, I had like 60hp left.

Mercy life is difficult.

>stating facts it b8 because Eurostanis can't accept that not every game is Counter-Strike
Europeans are worse than North Americans at Overwatch. It's a simple fact. Outside of CS, Europeans get shitstomped in every other game by North Americans, Asians, or South Americans. CS is the only one where they're not a joke of a region.

Who's pistol is stronger, Mercy's or D.Va's?

>Every loss in comp is on overtime defense
HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

HOW DO THEY KEEP GETTING THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AT THE LAST SECOND

>play against someone named Shinji
>he never switches from mei
>constantly yells in chat about how we're a bunch of rapists in all caps
>"please calm down, shinji" "get in the robot, shinji"
>the whole team starts focusing on him and bullying him
>we completely stomp his team three times in a row

Which one of you guys was this?

I remember euros dominating wow world firsts

overwatch, league is shit and this is coming from a s3-s5 dia player

I know right. Almost every game the time runs out and I think "we got this". A few people say gg already, and in overtime they just won't let up and win.

d.va and it's probably not even close
the rate of fire is insane

Correct me if I'm wrong but the best Smite player in the world used to be a Europoor named Adapted.

>let me go check the best ow team right now
>5 europeans 1 amerifat

shieeet enjoy that 60% white freedumbs

Same

Stop being a delusional faggot. CS is the only game that is dominated by EU. And you retards couldn't even get into the finals of the recent major

>be mercy player
>entire team wipes because I'm too busy hiding in a corner waiting to get a big rez so I can finally climax
>swoop in and get a 5 man ult
>switch to pistol and headshot a reaper mid-emote
>game ends
>immediately buy sigrun skin
>immediately buy "battle medic" highlight intro
>log into reddit.com/r/overwatch
>DAE MERCY'S PISTOL IS SECRET OP? I GET SO MANY KILLS WITH IT!

Never played a single match of LoL so I'll stick with OW.

do you play overwatch every day, /owg/?

I want to sleep with Captain Amari!

Must be hard writing that from under a bus :-)

I play ana unironically and you can't stop me.

Assault heroes are better at defending than Defense heroes

Is tracer useful in proper comp?

Okay, how to nerf D.Va's shield:

She has two lives so I want to reduce her health to 100 for every 5 seconds the shield is up

Every time she blocks something with it she gains health, the health gain depending on the amount of damage she blocks

Good or good?

Yes, since it is my first FPS I want to get the aim basics down and let them become muscle memory.

Yes. Not going let that daily 1500 xp for first win go away m'lord.
