/owg/ - Overwatch General

let's hope

Mercy fanart I actually like. I never thought I'd see the day.

It'll go back to 2-2-2. This is overwatch, we can't have fun metas.

Rein, Lucio, Ana(floater), Zarya will always be core unless significant changes happen. Expect soldier to eat up a slot as well.

Rein, Lucio, Soldier, Zarya. core.

Ana, Zen, Reaper and Genji alternates.

game is going to feel just as stale in a few weeks because low viablilty of roster and refusal to address how bad some characters dominate a skillset.

Will Soldier get a nerf? Maybe a compromise between 17 and 20 damage per shot.

never forget the fallen, he's fucking dead

Experience unemployment

I've ran into some gold bordered people and silver is way more common now as well.

It's the Blizzard way

>tfw no smug bug to lick me mug
It hurts

This game would be +100% more fun it it was 8v8.

More fun fights, more team variety, less pressure on players... etc.

I don't care what Jeff and his internal play test team thought about 8v8, They are human, they do mistakes, a lot of.
They have made dumb as hell mistakes in the past and reverting 8v8 back to 6v6 was one of them.

>4 games today
>2 had leavers
>both on my team

LOL

Would hurt the game's esports viability

Would it be 3 healers 3 dps 2 tanks or what

Happy Amélie

Theres still hope it might not make it live

The game is a joke in the esports arena. When you have solid 3 month stints where 70% of the cast aren't viable and each match looks the exact same you have a massive issue with the core itself.

Game is a mess, and they'll never figure it out. I really do wonder how long the legs are on it. Seems like the popularity wanes faster and faster after each update.

>enemy team has three tanks, Ana, Lucio and solider
>my team has 5 people including junkrat, and I get to pick to play healer or tank

It's amazing I climbed out of plat

I'm constantly getting kicked from the servers what the fuck? my internet is fine.

It'll be popular in the casual scene for ages, it's too fun

but yeah the epsorts scene wont last the next year if they don't do some major overhauls

wtf brazil top 1 search is overwatch porn

>PTR changes not hitting live despite how blatantly wrong they are
You new here or something?

Pay crazy reinhardt webm pins please

that sound like a fun brawl

>less pressure on players
are you a woman?

winter premiere hype

Isn't Mei supposed to be fat?

why is the game so tank-centered? I thought a balanced team would be a mix of every role. Tanks are boring to play and play against. They should just allow damage classes to perform well and hold chokes.

new meta when???

Game crashes mid fight hype

getting really high ping

>when you play bastion in quick play

Dude the game is still less than a year old calm your titties.

Yeah its not as well balanced as, say, league of legends is but riot has only been fine tuning that game's balance for, oh, yknow, 7 fucking years now.

summer event is NOT canon

>defeat

Yep

>LoL
>well balanced
end your life

No?

You're from below the 40th longitude aren't you?

Parkas make you look fat becuase they're insulated

>00:05 on the objective
>defeat
Uh, impressive, I guess

LMAO

She is. Her original concept was skinny but they fattened her up once tumblr complained all the girls had figures that were too good.

>mfw I got a proper rig to replace my old thinkpad and I gained over 750 SR in one day

FUCK ARNOLD TSANG
YOU FUCKING CUNT

please don't nerf this. My heart can't take it.

>tumblr has that much power
im becoming a tumblrite now

Blizzard tried various team sizes. They said that more than 6 becomes too chaotic. And it's understandable, game has already small enough maps and hallways, adding more characters would make it a total fuck up

now what?

lol is not even well balanced

>10 placement
>3.1k SR
>10 wins in a row
>4k SR
get on my level scrub

1v1 me scrub

>I'll show you who's boss of this gym.

going from 511 to 1261 isn't that impressive

Is this game dead? It takes like 5 minutes to find a proper 6v6 mystery heroes plus there's a bank holiday today

>fps 40

>if you kill enemy tracer while wearing the punk skin she calls her a "tosser"
since that's tracer too does that mean she knows herself to be a tosser as in someone that likes to toss salad as in someone that likes to lick butts?

everyone's playing oasis

A tosser is someone who wanks a lot.

>game dead meme
I find a game in quickplay in few seconds. It's just that Blizzard split up too much the game modes. Probably everyone is now playing the Oasis map. Also during the winter event mystery heroes was the most played mode, people probably had enough of it

>New patch comes
>Back to play shieldman and russianwoman

> game has already small enough maps and hallways, adding more characters would make it a total fuck up

I would hope Blizzard isn't dumb enough to have made the maps before deciding how many players there would be, ideally there should be a test map made for each size test otherwise of course 5-6 players would feel ideal in a cramped space made for 5-6 players

a tosser is a wanker mate
wanking and tossing off are synonyms for masturbation

on this note, I have never seen people get hooked "through walls" like all the whiners are saying would happen. If you got hooked then you somehow moved after that, you would get pulled to the location you were hooked, then to the hog. has anyone legitimately seen a real hook through wall incident?

Searching for game
>Estimated time: 0:20
>Elapsed time: 4:03

we can't all afford Beast rigs you elitist jerk!

They should get rid of 2 arcade modes. It's too much and it's pretty fucking pointless. No limits especially. If a new map is introduced, have that arcade mode be no limits by default.

>Average symmetra player
>Happy because they can do well at silky smooth 2fps

Okay
Now do that at 50% render scale with 30 fps cap

Somebody post the GM junkrat

i-it's for a friend

I've seen videos of a few by they are always from the hooked player's client side view so it most likely is just latency. Really they should have seen this coming when they decided to use 20 ticks

It's actually pretty impressive, the people that must be at ~500 SR are mentally and physically retarded. To overcome that and learn how to actually play videogames is very commendable.

There's still a chance of the Road+D.va nerfs won't go live
otherwise I'm uninstalling.

im mostly just talking about how theres at least some pick variety. I know theres still a dumpster tier and all that but it isnt so bad that its literally the same 10 champs every match, which is kind of the state OW is in right now. Which i dont really think is like a colossaly huge problem a lot of games go through this "literally the same characters every match" phase.

So if PTR goes live as is what is going to be the new 'ideal' comp?

How the fuck are you meant to climb in this game? Please help me, no matter what I play there's always someone on the team who's lacking and the enemy always seems to get good widows and DPS who actually know how to position. I'm trying my fucking hardest.

there was a guy posting here with 511 sr yesterday
there was also a guy posting around the same time that didn't know headshots were a thing in this game

no correlation :^)

>Roadhog we need a symmetra

AJHAHAHHWHAHAHHAH

Can any weapon headshot?

Same thing sans roadhog since Ana is the one keep the tank meta alive, not the actual tanks themselves

Why the fuck did they remove XP reset on prestige?

Fucking Blizzcucks have to squeeze every cent out of this game I suppose. Can't even reward long time players with a few quicker lootboxes.

If someone plays your shitty game long enough to prestige 3 or 4 times they deserve them.

>Reinhardt will never easily lift the bar bell that you're struggling to bench off you, say "Let me show you how it's done", curl the bar with little effort, and then ask you out for a beer
Why live

I actually want to see/know hoe games are in bronza. Are the players really that retarded or just beginners with shit aim and poor knowledge of the game?

Get really good as Torbjorn, apparently.
The game riases/lowers your SR based on how other people who play that hero are doing. Obviously there is going to be a lot of competition for meta heroes, so being an above-average (ie not shit) Torb will get you a lot of points.

But ana is nerfed isn't she? Even if she is still must pick won't that make tank stacking less effective.

you need less xp from 1-100 so its an overall gain

Improve enough to where you being on a team gives it a big enough advantage to win in most cases.

3 Tank - Ana/Lucio will steal be the ideal. Roadhog is not "nerfed" like people say. His hook is actually more consistent, but you just can't pull off bullshit hooks anymore which were only like 15% of his hooks. In a face to face fight he's still going to be good.

OW only has 23 heroes it should be easier to balance a small roster than a big one
