Why are these kind of people allowed to play competitive?

How's the e-sports viability for Overwatch? Healthy?

Because the e-sports scene for Heroes of the Storm is fucking dead.

...

>blizzard
>esports

Doomfist is the next hero incoming.

Which of these should be the next one after him?

blue sam fisher
or
that cool robot top middle

>Playing attack on any map with Torb + Symm combo on defense

End my fucking life already

chinmaster

snowball mode fuckin SUCKS

Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually Asari military command. They're busy tending to what's left of their planet.

So you survived our fight on Thessia. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me. Now an entire planet is dying because you lacked the strength to win. The legend of Shepard needs to be re-written. I hope I'm there for the last chapter. It ends with your death.

i want widow to step on me so bad

Holy shit I haven't seen that one

...

Yeah its basically kai lung or however it was spelled

Get in line

I fucking knew it this would appear here.

Also, bottom middle blondie black girl, bring her, now

Better version. Ready to be printed and checked off.

E-sports is cancer and it's the second worst thing to happen to video games in a while

Because they paid for the game?

Is everyone dead, or is there another thread going?

Someone posted a new thread a little early.

It had a good run, but Blizzard is actively killing Overwatch esports.

If it's not Athena I'm going to be pissed.

The fluffy blonde black chick is cute though, wouldn't mind her.

>tfw months of playing pre-buff Symmetra on attack whenever I was on a tilt is finally paying off
I literally do not lose, boys.

>implying competitive ow wasn'tt on life support since the beginning

Kai Ling sure is edgy I bet he's related to the shimadas

also 6/10 for the ME3 trigger

That guy is probably Liao and related to Mei in someway

How am I suppose to rank up????

Got so tired of this shit I made a video

youtu.be/Zgq6nnqnnVI

If he is related to mei, I hope he's equally annoying and instead of ice he shoots fire

You people are awful at making threads.
This is the current one, but it'll be done relatively soon.

We are saving this one for later. Stop being a fgt.

It's either going to be big red not-Reinhardt or the sterile white robot which is probably Athena. Both of those heroes have appeared consistently in both early and later concept art.

Here is the actual discord
discord.gg/Mzpx4Yh.
Pugs, free balance cards and other game gifts weekly raffled. Chill community.

That robot isn't Athena, Athena looks completely different.

found your sr

so owg, i placed in the mid 3700s and after a godawful loss streak i got dropped back into diamond. after some climbing i'm back near 3600, but looking at masteroverwatch and overbuff it just seems this season my ana is almost game-losing somehow

tl;dr what do i need to do to not lose in master? tank player mostly, some support

Honestly at that level it's mostly just communication and timing your teams ult's correctly.

Most times it's just the team not communicating and going overkill using 3-4 ults at a time for a team wipe then getting wiped in the next team fight.

>when your team is so utter shit that the enemy team has you camped at the spawn point in Nepal on Attack

First time I've ever left a match in the middle of it. Jesus H. Christ.

Post yuri

When are they gonna add a 10v10 arcade mode?
It'll be broken as fuck but fun as hell to play.

i want ONE of these (skin)
roughly how many boxes would you need?

Seriously though it seems like everyone is using toxic now and it is kind of cancerous.

They designed the MMR algorithm to fuck me over.

>inferior Brown posing as blue
What is this? Not my blue.

New Symmetra is so fucking cancerous on 2CP maps

as if that mode couldn't get worse

Who, in your opinion, is the hero that needs the most skill to be good at?

And on the other end, who is the hero that needs the least amount of skill to be good at?

>want to do all achievements because autism
>4 kills without missing
>against a character that can wall and iceblock

Why do DPS players think every engagement needs to end in a kill, regardless.

It's the most retarded shit I've seen. Just do damage

Blue waifu

>Who, in your opinion, is the hero that needs the most skill to be good at?
mccree

>And on the other end, who is the hero that needs the least amount of skill to be good at?
new symmetra, or lucio

I opened around 30 boxes since the event started, got lucio, roadhog 4 fucking times, mei and torb. Also got 2 of the emotes.

But then, rng is rng.

Sombra takes the most skill

Symmetra or Mercy takes the least

because then they'll just run off and charge their healer's ult

...

>those earrings
>the snow detail on her hair

>when a random guy in 1v1 lets you beat him for the christmas boxes

What's the worst?

now i can finally play mei snowball offence for fun no more stupid achievements

holy shit ranks are fucked at ~4000
complete lottery whether your teammate is 4500 season 2 or some platinum/diamondshitter from season 2
solo q is impossible

symmetra's gun did not need a range increase

it does wayyyyy too much damage for requiring LITERALLY ZERO AIM

>pick D.VA
>run from spawn
>suddenly, offensive enemy symmetra out of fucking nowhere
>meh whatever I bet he's a troll
>start shooting at him
>he jumps around me and melts me in 3 seconds

That's gonna happen regardless.

No one gives a fuck if you chased after their McCree with Reaper and both end up dying.

>Who, in your opinion, is the hero that needs the most skill to be good at?
Widow,Hanzo,Tracer, Zarya, Winston

>And on the other end, who is the hero that needs the least amount of skill to be good at?
Rein(just don't be a retard with your ult i.e ulting into a rein shield), Soldier, Reaper, Mercy, Torb

Haven't played in months. I see that the arcade 9/9 is weekly, but is the game mode specific loot boxes also weekly?

Thats kind of cute

Genji. A good Genji can wipe teams single-handely, but a bad Genji will just kill himself over and over effectively making a game a 5v6

Probably Lucio or Reinhardt, but while it's easy to be a good lucio it takes alot of skill to be a great one

Sombra/McCree

D.Va

How do I use Symmetra well? What do I do with her turrets?

> McCree takes the most skill

Yeah, it's really hard to press E and right-click.

...

NU-MALE WATCH!

agreed
fucking placement matches, shouldn't exist

only hero that requires actual aim

>widow and hazo require skill to be good at
>mercy doesn't
Just because you never met a """good""" mercy doesn't mean anyone can just pick her and avoid dying when literally everyone from the enemy team makes it a top priority to bukkake her.

>fanning the hammer
>not pressing e and headshotting

Go play McCree before you talk shit about him

>Who, in your opinion, is the hero that needs the most skill to be good at?
Widowmaker, Genji, Sombra, Tracer

>And on the other end, who is the hero that needs the least amount of skill to be good at?
D.va right now.

>heels off the ground

Fucking pussies

Turrets at chokes or to protect your tele/shield generator.

Flank enemy healers in team fights or focus down Genji if he is fucking up your back line.
Avoid Mei and other Symms as they will generally shit on you 1v1.

>D.va right now.
epic

I like to build two "nests" where alot of people run trough, or just put them at the payload, or at health packs.

Really her main thing now is her new shield and her aimbot gun with ridicolous range

why do they all look the same? is there a nu-male gene?

>le epic 5 stack trapping everyone in the spawn for 30 seconds

>Eichenwelde, Masters

>The enemy walks right through the door as Reinhardt, Zarya, D.va, Ana, Lucio, Soldier

>"WHY DID WE LOOOOOOSE THE POINT SO QUICKLY"
>We really could've used a second tank
>MEI IS A TANK

I want this meme to end.

is it strange to have higher winrate on dps characters

right now my top two player characters in quick play are genji and reinhardt.

genji winrate, 57.6%
reinhardt winrate, 46.5%

i don't think i'm a bad reinhardt though

What? There's no way Symmetra can beat D.Va in a 1 vs 1 unless you're complete trash.

Like, even if you're already damaged you can just fly away to safety.

Symmetra is a problem for D.Va in a teamfight, but not one on one.

>when symmetras try to w+m1 you but you're playing mei

I've met plenty of good mercys and im a good mercy myself.

Aside from having a brain and staying out of sight whenever you have rez available or chasing away flankers with your pistol she's a pretty low skill ceiling hero.

>Blizzard barely puts any effort in her new skin and she becomes the best blue girl

How does Blizzard keep getting away with it?

explain how he's wrong, gookshitter. D.Va is by far the most braindead hero in the game.

what's the matter, don't have any friends to five-stack and banter with yourself?

Sensible balance update

>Torbjorn
- molten core is immune to freeze

>Winston
- barrier projector lasts 7 seconds
- primal rage strikes and splash damage ignore armor damage resistance
- Tesla canon deals 30% extra damage vs. shields

Barrier will actually last long enough to matter and now ult isn't hard countered by armor and shields don't make him waste half a clip doing damage

>Junkrat/tracer
- ultimate only does 30 damage and knock back to self

Same reason why dvas doesn't kill herself

>Bastion
- self healing no longer interrupted by damage, reduces heal rate to 17.5 per second for next 1.2 seconds without taking damage
- can move at half speed while healing self in recon mode
- halves time for ultimate start animation

Now has options to tank a little, recon mode isn't useless, and ultimately is more viable without extensive support

>Hanzo
- third special arrow: aoe taser, same cool down as sonar arrow
- creates aoe the size of biotic field that deals 30 dps for 3.5 seconds where it lands
- fails if blocked by shields

Better allows for defense roll in slight area denial rather just a shit sniper dps in the meta with 1 early pick but little to help hold the point.


>Pharah
- Holding crouch while using jet jump now boosts downward, resulting in a ground pound on contact with ground that deals 45 damage like Winston's
- Holding E when firing concussion middle will make it explode directly in front of you, propelling in the opposite direction

Now she has mobility in the sky and not an instapick vs. hitscan

>playing Ana in comp
>Route 66
>running out of time to hit the 2nd checkpoint
>been spamming "ultimate ready" for a while
>keep getting picked off before I can use it
>on my way to the payload

>seriously running out of time
>spamming that I have my ult ready
>just need Mercy to rez me
>she's right fucking there!
>death spectate Mercy stood on top of the saloon away from the battle, not healing
>waits until our Rein and someone else dies
>rezzes them but not me
>can't make it back to the payload in time

>never got to use my ult
Fuck Mercys

cash shop shit / micro payments / etc

>Teleporter
>Health has been decreased from 200 to 50
>Shields have been increased from 0 to 350

Did it really need to be this sturdy? I can understand the need for regenerating health but 400 total seems a bit high

>Master

>Not the Torb or Sym

???

Does anybody play this on console? I have a shit computer so I just pay it on Xbone and none of my friends play.
