>it's a 'the discord teenagers make a new thread 50 posts early because they want to put the discord link in the OP' edition

Jesse McCree

First for why the fuck don't we have a fucking scoreboard yet

Lena Oxton

...

>I'm afraid it's been... 9 years.

second for why can I only prefer players at the beginning of the match

Blue


sleep tight reap tight.

...

>for I actually think tracer's voice acting is the worst in the game

...

I don't know man. if you don't know why you're losing a scoreboard isn't going to help.

Abilities that are shit:

>projector barrier
600 HP, disappears after 5 seconds, doesn't start Cooldown until destroyed or disappears, doesn't indicate at all to player or teammates when it will disappear naturally, can't be used during primal rage

>sombra alt-fire hack
Almost near usable mid-fight because of damage cc, only really useful for health packs at all.

>widow wallhacks
Pretty null when hanzo has this as a normal ability at the places you need it

>bastion self repair
Freezes self even on recon mod, damage cc with a character that has a mile wide hotbox and moves like a slug, and sounds like a train when walking.

>RIPtire
Telegraphed like a motherfucker, 100 health that is so easy to clip, can be damaged during startup animation, leaves player completely vulnerable with a high risk low reward circumstance.

>Primal Rage
Can't get a reliable kill without a situational ledge, hotbox the size of a barn, give enemy team 30% for free because not a real damaging threat, and hard countered by armor

>Venom Mine
Literally useless. It only acts as a warning when your flank is being enters, but has numerous ways to be avoided, destroyed even if it does tell you, and does such negligible damage that the ability itself is moot.

How would you buff these turds?

>be 8% of a match's variables
>trick myself into thinking i affect a match's predetermined outcome

how did it come to this

Rip Tire really needs to be made smaller and probably given more health too. Should be a lot more difficult to shut down considering there are counters to it outside of shooting it down (Zarya comes to mind)

Friendly reminder, it's mathematically proven to be more damage to shoot a tardem with mercy than it is to damage boost any hero.

>RIPTire
>high risk low reward
>it can one-shot Reinhardt and/or multiple people at once

*when shooting a Reinhardt's shield

Don't use the gun if you might need to heal someone quick, bevause the weapon switch takes time.

How can we stop dwarfs from overtaking the planet?

Why contain it?

s'cool

>shoot at enemy
>die

every thread?

How did you not mention mccree's roll that does literally nothing? It's the worst move in the game

It reloads, cunt

Is a damn INGRATE

Is McCree's ult even worth shit.

I can never manage to pull off one that gets me more than one kill.

>"wah i can't do it right please buff"

I'm still unsure if it's an instant kill

I've managed to only wound tanks a few times and other times instant kill

>shoot rocket at enemy
>die
>it dissapears mid air
>kill cam doesn't show me having fired at all

Nice "favor the shooter" system blizztards

strawpoll.de/6ry3x85

Well, it's been 6 months now. Thoughts?

and can be destoryed by the following instantly

- Bionic Grenade
- 0.4 seconds of bastion spray
- Single swing of Dragons Blade
- Scatter Arrow
- Hanzo's normal arrow
- Junkrat's normal grenade
- Junkrat's beartrap
- Junkrat's Concussion Mine
- Pharah's Rocket
- Point black Reaper shot
- Firestrike
- Roadhog alt-fire
- 5 shots from 76
- Helix Missles
- 1 Widow shot
- 1 second of contact with Zarya's Beam at 0%
- One Burst from Zarya at 55%
- 3 charged orb volley from Zen

And can be avoided by
- Dva's 2nd life
- Sound Barrier
- Cyrofreeze
- Ressurection
- Jet Jump
- Wraith Form
- Being behind Rein Shield
- Translocating
- Photon Barrier
- Molten Core(If you already have armor)
- Recall
- Projector Barrier
- Primal Rage full health
- Barrier Bubble
- Transcendence.

Do you see how the majority of the cast can shut it down or avoid it BY THEMSELVES. As a team the RIPtire is even less viable.

Lag comp bro. Invented solely to piss you off and no one else.

>be as far away as possible
>be higher than opponents if possible
>be behind opponents if possible

On some maps it just isn't that good though

>mash button
>nothing happens and I die/teammate dies
:)

Remember you are the only constant :3

Actually I got that sombra main in my games 3 times today so he was the constant too

Syndra's ult is a big fat mistake

That thing is literally "Hover cursor, right click, send to recycle bin"

They need to nerf that thing so everyone can stop getting 100 to 0'd by ONE FUCKING SPELL.

You should join Majestic Twelve.

IN A BODY BAG.
Surprised there's no Deus Ex/Overwatch stuff.

Unless you're in a group

>DPS
High skill floor
Needs help from both Tanks and Supports to do their job properly
Die easy

>Tanks
Low skill floor but high skill ceiling
Needs help from, but not as much as DPS
Much harder to kill

The tank meta was pretty much inevitable.

>shoot rocket at enemy
>goes directly through them
>die
Hmmm... Really makes ya think

what should Doomfist's kit be?

>tfw no brown hacker to lick like a candy cane

Mouse1: ooga
Mouse2: booga

Shift: unga
E: bunga

sleep tight reap tight

get a mei to put up a wall between you and a crowd of enemies before you trigger it, then they'll look around for you like fish in a barrel and when the wall breaks it's lunch time for all of them

Wonder how her feet taste like haha

So.....

Now that we've established that the concept of maining a hero is retarded, who do you have the most time on?

strawpoll.de/xb9w7rw

I finally got out of that deep hole I fell in. Who knew ranking up was as simple as joining a group of players who are competent?

>Some fucker named "Saster" on my team
>Goes fucking autism overdrive when we lose a game because Torb on defense isn't meta or some nigger shit
>Gets super salty at me the rest of the game regardless of what I play
>Notice he's getting literally 0 kills
>Spams chat and voice comms telling everyone I'm shit
>Ragequits instantly

So fuck that cuck :^)

Who was he playing?

Man I really need to find a healslut girlfriend to queue with

>some cuck: "sniper repick pls"
>sniper repicks
>some cuck: -goes sniper-

Gottem boys

sleep tight reap tight

was this black dude fired after this?

If by fired you mean executed by firing squad, yes.

Why would he be fired?
Because the neckbeard was autistic?

Why he looks genuinely apologetic for not noticing??

Please god save me from these shitters

you're wrnog about the trap and biotic grenade

I'm literally watching play.

He is the shitter /owg/. He only plays bastion and never swaps versus Genji

I'm the only god here today and I'm on the other team.
Now lube up, cyчкa.

>keep hitting X instead of C
>keep spamming "I need healing!" by accident
>support thinks I'm being an asshole

sorry

>solo q-ing in gold
>get matched up with 5 stack on my team
>decide to go lucio and get carried
>we do extremely good, push payload all the way and other team doesn't even cap first point
>end of match
>group leader compliments me on my gameplay and invites me to group
>start q-ing in 6 stack
>forced to play lucio everytime
>guess i'm a lucio main now
>start gaining insane amounts of sr and go on a large winstreak
>get carried all the way to high platinum
>10 hours on lucio in s3
>basically sold my soul to the support devil for free sr
>need one more win to make it to diamond
>afraid to play because I'll get btfo at this level

Is this what life is like as a support main? feeling like you don't deserve your ranking? getting carried every match?

I don't want this life anymore. I want out of this nightmare. I have already lost all my dignity by investing 10 hours in a support character

>healer doesn't heal me right away when I'm weak
>they don't heal me at all actually and despite playing defensively I get fucking killed
>make a point of fucking spamming X any time I get scratched afterwards
Fuck supports, they're either good enough I never need to press X or they can deal with a constant stream of "MEDIC!" that'll hopefully motivate them to stop sucking dicks long enough to keep me alive in my lone stand against the entire enemy team.

>Double legs
>One is a dupe

Why god why

There's a fucking Pharah glitch that gives invincibility and can shoot through the entirety of the indoors section of Watchpoint.

At least you got elf the dyke, the worst skin in the game.

>pick torb
>immediate "uhhh i dont think we need a torb"

if u do this fuck u

>3v3 arcade
>Obvious Veeky Forums kid in voicechat on my team
>Doesn't get a single kill the entire game while I pull gold
>We lose a hard-fought to Mei-Zen combo
>"scrub combo"
>Point out in all-chat that he got zero kills
>Gets angrier and angrier while trying to pretend he's still messing around

>seagull's autism ended up on the most popular talkshow in the world

youtube.com/watch?v=Mz3BafP5vn0

>ywn breed mercy
what's the point of living?

got two nutcracker skins in one box

what are the odds

M1: flaming punch that arcs similar to rein's hammer, except you can charge it up for more base damage, a wider swing and longer burn damage over time

M2: shoots a mid-range arcing fireball out the palm that also deals burn damage over time, burning status can be canceled by healing or being sprayed by a friendly (or enemy) mei

SHIFT: bionic arm transforms into a thruster that propels him backwards to escape melees, the reverse of rein's charge, except it deals burn damage to enemies in front of him

E: uses the thruster mode again but you wave it about as a flamethrower, drawback is your feet have to clamp down in place so you're stationary and only have a 180 degree window of attack

Q: the huge shockwave punch seen in the cinematic trailer that does huge damage to whoever it hits but also blows back every enemy within a large radius

basically for dispersing crowds and making people regret going near him, needs long range heroes and good support to deal with

Watching Zarya crack watermelons with her thighs.

>flame a hanzo picker
>check career profile
>overwhelming hanzo playtime
>haha look at this loser

>it turns out hes breddy gud

Welcome to the family nigga

>dude im a hunter lmao
>*chomps pork rinds*

>African character sets people on fire

100% culturally accurate

I could tell you if Blizzard wasn't Jewish about item droprates.
This shit would be illegal by Japanese law.

why, whats with japanese law?

Terry Crews is voicing him, right?

You've accepted it's happening right?

One thing that will fix Genji once and for all is nerfing his dash range.

someone already did the math, unless blizz changed the rate

pcgamer.com/overwatch-player-works-out-loot-box-drop-rates/

Reminder that after a few drinks tracer will take a dick

tracer's uncontrollable urge to shove her arm deep into another woman is sated.


no more gays from the gay gods

Anti-gambling laws.
They are legally obligated to give you the exact percentages of droprates due to Gacha making people poor as hell. Most games with random drops also include a way for you to get a specific item after not getting it long enough, i.e. coins, dust in HS etc.

Tracer is actually pretty bad and needs a buff

Not official you fuck.
Unless they are honest about it themselves, I'll always call them out on their lack of transparency.

>Lose two matches in a row
>look at enemy team
>bunch of four-stars clumped up in a fourstack
Why fucking queue up in arcade, you ultrafags?

It's not like people come there to have fun and escape the tryhards in qp and comp

>chu said there is more
>metzen said there is more
>chu hinted at it AGAIN in the most recent comic

kek

But thats exactly what they were doing?

/owg/ how do I get out of masters?
This truly is the elo hell.
3 tanks, soldier and 2 healers
4 tanks, 2 healers
repeat...

>decide to go super casual in the next arcade match I play, like Attack Bastion levels of casual (although I did win a No Limits match with Bastion earlier in the day)
>enemy team is a bunch of level 300s who are Platinum+
>they're all playing like it's a comp match and their rank depends on it
>no fun allowed
>rig bluescreens halfway through the fucking match as if it wasn't bad enough already
My Smile and Optimism: Gone

Well, it looks like China's implementing a similar law as well, so we'll get to see official droprates maybe.

Get headshots

t. 4.4k

You're not real, you're just a figment of my dreams
btw how is your D.va?
