Old thread:

When is Christmas stuff going live?

D.va is a shit waifu, Russian muscle waifu is way better

This is Widowmaker

The 6th or 13th and between those two I'd go with the 13th

Christmas Eve. Blizz is going to shorten events life spans to sell loot boxes, because you can buy shit with coins now.

Literal one day event. Hope you have the coins or the money to shill out on boxes.

nice thread

This will be confirmed canon and nothing can do anything to stop it from happening.

nth for fuck Blizzards shitty matchmaking system.

God dammit.

how the fuck am I supposed to enjoy escorting the paylod? it feels like a fucking slog every time. I don't even have fun when I'm winning, but I usually have fun in every other mode even when I'm losing. What the fuck is the deal with escorting the payload?

>expecting anything but complete trash from a dumb waifu poster

Loli hero when?

Hello, I am a healslut main
who wants to RP with me ;)

>people are literally in love with this
what
the
FUCK

I wanted to lose the last game too, so that I could have a really nice screenshot, but then I was forced to play Zarya against a Junkrat and Roadhog that wouldn't switch on temple of Anubis.

Literally never. The only chance was the little girl in a mech gimmick, and they blew that on the Korean wunderkind.

I'm sure you are, fuccboi

>play tank
>incapable dps/healer with nobody touching the enemy support / using ana's grenade to disable healing
>play ana
>rein keeps rushing the further distance he can, use shield only to protect himself, same thing with dva and her matrix

Is it true that you guys hate ../Dotsy/whatever the fuck that autist calls himself
Because if so, that's funny as fuck

Who the fuck is that

Sorry, asked in the last thread right before it ended, but does Winstons damage split if the Tesla Cannon hits multiple targets, or does it deal full damage to all of them?

What the fuck is D.Vas counter now?

Still got no evidence, nowhere did he say Zarya specifically.

Zarya

Zarya.
Mei.

It deals full damage, you DOUBLE NIGGER, you can easily test this in the practice range. So if he strikes 3 targets at once, his damage per second is technically higher.

>doing placement matches
>end up 7-2-1

>end up 1680, below what I placed last season with more losses
fuck this ranking system. How does it even work?

why tho? Keep it for later when this one dies. Don't start thread wars

The one thing that is certain, is that it isn't using straight wins and losses as its metric.

What is the optimal griefing strat now? I used to do Symmetra teleporter over a pit, but that only works about 50% of the time now since people have gotten used to it.

I've been trying Roadhog the Ult Battery, running into the enemy team and healing to help charge the enemy team's ults and give them lots of damage. That seems to work pretty well, but I wonder if there are better strats I hadn't tried yet?

How do I improve my Hana accuracy?

YE SNIPER PICKIN'

>win 7 placement matches
>bronze

What the jesus. Sure i was only gold last season but this is something else entirely.

The ranking system last season was too generous, so they tweaked it this time around. One of the most important factors in determining rank is what you were in the previous season.

We don't fucking know how it works but if you were a high rank last season you'll place with a high rank almost guaranteed.

At this point I honestly think they're just placing people a few hundred lower for the lulz and to make it easier on them.
If that's the case, why fucking bother with placement matches?

Play someone else

SHIMADA CLAN USIN'

What does enabling Dolby Atmos in the settings do specifically?

If you ended in plat last season you automatically are going to get brought down so Blizzard can spread out the amount of people more evenly.

It doesn't sound like you'll have any problem climbing out tho so enjoy your free comp points

Enable Dolby Atmos

Use dot reticle. Change the color and aim for the head to get repeated crit damage.

It enables Dolby Atmos.

Fuck off

I want to fuck commander Reyes' white farmboy whore in front of him while he's helplessly chained down unable to do anything about it!

>commander Reyes' white farmboy whore
>implying it's not the other way around

user please

This will be confirmed not canon and nothing can do anything to stop it from happening.

>playing Junkart in Eichenwalde
>McCree kills me on the stairs near the bridge
>The cluster bombs from my corpse roll down and kill him
>McCree loses his shit

Neither of them are submissive. Stop shoving your fetishes into a canon, wholesome romantic subplot.

>nothing can do anything to stop

What does that have to do with designers making non white characters because they want to.

2-8

fuck this

at this point i would welcome either development because I just wanna know who's the designated homo and to see all the salt and tears that will fill this general regardless of the outcome

>tfw no qt blue sniper to be smug with
Can't wait to see what she gets for Christmas.

the joke is that he copy and pasted what the reaper/76 fag wrote

owg in a nutshell

>Stop shoving your fetishes into a canon
make me, faggot

I placed at 3134 last season and then didn't play for months, so I decayed to 3000. Came back, lost like 2 games and went down to 2950. Finished there.

Am I going to be grandfathered into a decent rank or am I now officially low enough on the bellcurve that i'm going to get fucked?

Checked

you're probably gonna be 2500

Depends, I ended last season around 2850 but placed at 2930 so you might be able to place in diamond.

FUCK OFF NIGGER

I HAVE 0 TIME ON THAT SHIT FUCK HERO

Aight, thanks.

I should probably pick a role and stick to it so I can get golds. I keep popping between DPS and Support between rounds to accommodate for my shit teammates, and I'm ending up with like full silvers and bronzes.

so where are most people going to place then, if they put too many in plat last time

gold? silver?

I got placed in silver but now im carrying all my matches

Maybe being in silver its not so bad

thats my boy

Why do I love Widowmaker so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. Widowmaker isn't just the best hero in overwatch, she might be the future Queen of Waifus Just imaging her grappling through the sands of Anubis, the wind in her hair, her mighty rifle with her. As she grapples through the objectives, the men swoon at her very scent. They know how she smells, the essence of her smell is sold in the blizzard store under the the name of "Blueberry pie scent". The very nature of Widowmaker is mystery. could she be playing a deeper game than even her creator realizes? The answer is yes, she has transcended such boundaries as the written world, and has free will to do whatever she sees fit. However, Widowmaker is filled with such guile, such french smugness that she does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Widowmaker is not one that is easily penetrated. Widowmaker is such a force of nature in her realm that nothing can truly touch her, the only thing keeping her bound to the game at all is her will to exist within the preordained boundaries of her world. Widowmaker is not only beyond the comprehension of us, she exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe her smug smile, her gorgeous and rippling ass, her cute nose, and most importantly, her eyes. Her eyes, like pools of saffron, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of Widowmaker. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. Widowmaker is not just a character, a formless collection of words and images, she is herself is the binding that holds the saga together. Without Widowmaker, the entire game, the entirety of Blizzard as we know it crumbles. The temple of anubis would freeze without Widowmaker, Eichenwalde would become a desolate crater, Ecopoint: Antarctica would melt without her frosty gaze. These are just of a few of the reasons why I like Widowmaker so much

>going for medals

STOP

Medals don't matter.

Which one is her best smile?

I mean, medals DO kinda matter.

If you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, you're going to have medals. If you don't have any medals, either your team is amazingly good or you're doing something wrong.

Did you know that you can lose 260 SR in only six games?

forgot pic

Just played a game that went 8-7.

>lose 3 games, win 1 game
>but I'm only losing like 10 points, while getting 50 for a win, so I'm rising anyways.

I feel conflicted

I more mean that I need to stop being average in everything because I keep trying to do everything. If all my stats are average, i'm going to place average.

Right now from my placements, I look like a pretty middle of the road player, when I'm playing well just in multiple roles. The fact i'm on the board at all is a testament to some of my team not doing great.

>See players getting placed in Masters with only 1 or 2 wins
>Get 6 wins (same as S2)
>Literally the same Placement and Score (Gold 2100ish) as S2 although they calm you'll be lower.
>1 or 2 wins
>Master
>6 wins
>Gold

Depressed. Despair. Suicide. Profound Sadness. Wants to Cry. Unfair. I AM FUCKING TRIGGERED! I'm so fucking mad right now I want to uninstall this fucking game. The rage is boiling in my blood. You have no idea how mistreated I feel right now when there are people with only two wins with fucking Masters placement. Holy fucking shit I'm so mad. There is nothing that will stop this feeling of intense rage I have flowing through my chest. I want to kill. KILL. KILL something.

Why did I even think this time it would be different? Why? I can't right now. I feel sick. I want to kill something. Someone much die for this injustice. Unfair. Someone must burn. I can't right now. I'm just so fucking mad. Oh my fucking goodness. I can't.

jesus christ user

...

>dva waifufriend
how can you be at the bottom 5% of players

Wins mean nothing for placements. All that matters is your previous season rating

>people playing against other master rank players are having a hard time winning
>you should be higher than them because you're slightly better than the gold level players you're playing against

Yea, it's pretty clear they never had any intention of improving competitive in any way outside of "flattening the bell curve," which is short for "we're going to keep more people stuck at silver/gold than before."

slowly but surely..

I'm so sorry

...

See, that's how it starts.
Optimistic. Full of hope.
But then...

>right off the bat the season is completely fucked
Holy shit Blizzard pls my sides cant handle it.

I made it to Masters last Season from the same fucking spot. The same fucking placement I am now. Fuck this injustice. I'm not playing this shit anymore besides QP. I am literally going to be cancerous now because there is no justice here. Only evil. darkness. My soul has been filled with darkness after this placement. holyshit.

why did nobody tell me sombra can reload without breaking stealth

>No Limits is just normal team comps.

But why.

10 sets of 2 wins our of 3 games, and you will be play
ganbatte

Cutest and best pairing

It's not "Everybody should be the same hero!!", it's "Play whatever character you want, even if some asshole instalocked them".

Should I play comp or attack the Necron Stronghold in Dark Crusade /owg/?

Because people want to get arcade mods wins for the free loot boxes, and no limits is pretty much quick play.
