Blue?

blue board. Blue thread. Blue life.

Bring me your torb pics

We're about to push a new build to the PTR with some new changes:

Roadhog Hook
- Added some more line of sight checks towards the left/right of a potential hook target. This means it should be easier to hook someone who is sticking halfway out of a doorway, or behind a thin pole, etc. These checks are also used for the persistent line of sight check, so if a hook target moves behind a slim object like a stump or a lightpole, they won't be released anymore.
- Hooked targets are now slowed heavily while they are stunned, even if they are in the air. This means if someone is strafe jumping away from you and you land a hook, they are a lot less likely to slide out of line on sight, breaking the hook.
- Fixed a bug that could allow you to hook someone and pull them behind you if you spun around before the hook landed.

Ana
- Biotic Grenade duration reduced from 5s to 4s

Sombra
- Hack cooldown reduced from 12s to 8s

Thanks for the feedback so far! Hopefully we'll have this new patch up very soon so you guys can check it out and let us know what you think.

How do we stop Chu from self inserting/writing tumblr tier story, and instead get him to make sense of the mess that is the overwatch timeline?

How the fuck do I use Genji's ult? Really, it's so fucking shit
>ult
>need more than two fucking hits to kill Reaper
>he just flies away at the second blow
Really, the ult lasts 6 fucking seconds and I need at least 2 to kill a Reaper, than maybe another one or two second to find another target, go on him praying Naruto that I'm not going to get killed in that moment and if everything goes well get a second kill. That's it.

...

ITS TRUE

You're only supposed to use it when they're not expecting it. Genji is not a frontline DPS; stop playing like one. Reaper is a nonissue most of the time, just go for the healers and other squishies who can't really defend themselves.

After freefalling in rank I have decided to try to see how low I can get my ranking now. Who should I main in my freefall into madness? Also, tips on being bad.

Come on man, don't make the experience worse for others. The game is already frustrating enough as it is. Just stop playing ranked if you've given up on it.

tracer is obviously the dom right? She is the more famous of the two.

>hack cooldown reduced

who are the idiots play testing sombra for them, there are so many things that could be done to fix her and that's not one of them.

Sombra

Any cooldown reduction is a good thing. It'll make the timing of her play style much smoother.

just troll with mei

mei/reaper
>double jump above them, slash/dash/slash in whatever order

every other 200 hp hero
>slash slash

or if you wanna get fancy
>dash, activate ult, slash-dash/dash-slash

remember that each square is 25 health, so if someone in 2 bars or lower, just dash. If 3 bars: spread shuriken->dash immedietly->melee for good measure

I am already in a pretty low rank, people trying to escape it will likely not be playing with me.

Genji.
Remember to buy the towelhead legendary before you start.

Are we ded?

>Literally name one flop
Read my post, retard.

Blizzard doesn't churn out flops, they churn out shit that sells like gold because they have rabid, retarded fans that rave about how great Blizzard games are and will slurp up any plate of shit you give them as long as there's a Blizzard logo stamped into it.

>Hack cooldown reduced from 12s to 8s

ThisisbullshitbutIbelieveit.jpg

Please tell me it's true

yes, thank god

us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20752599717

Those thighs could fucking kill somebody.

yeah of course a hack cooldown is better than nothing, but there are much more serious deficiencies with her abilities than her hack cooldown.

us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20752599717

Sombra, Mei and Genji are the votes so that is what I will be. Thanks. Any tips ro be exceptionally bad?

they probably have.

>tfw you finally git gud with S76

Post new hero ideas here! I'll start...
>healer
>can pull a fuckton of heals out of her ass at any range on demand but it's totally balanced because you have to aim a large hitbox that can be hitscan or projectile to heal
>can do damage to enemies with the exact same function that heals teammates
>also has a grenade that can heal, buff friendly healing, negate enemy healing, and do damage in a decently sized radius with a minor cooldown and no counters
>can completely deny most ults with the ability above or another stun ability on a similarly minor cooldown
>she will objectively be the best healer in the game but will also be a monster in 1v1s with flankers too for some fucking reason
>ult makes a teammate all glowy so they do more damage and take less
thoughts? critiques? do you think this is balanced?

>tfw trying to git gud as Zenyatta
How do I become one with the Iris, /owg/?

>No more dropping people into the void with the hook
RIP best humiliation it was fun while it lasted

>No D.Va rebalancing
>Hack cooldown only change to Sombra
What the fuck

...

Not even an hour ago, why are people not even talking about this, also has anyone upload this?

Let's talk about achievements. Did you get them all? Is there one you just can't get? What is the one you're the most proud of?

be genji and don't flank/jump/dodge/reflect at all.
just walk ahead of your team and spam that "need healing" while you die

>a male character who kills other male characters by attacking their crotch
>his targets get a massive debuff along with their voices changing in pitch
>his name is... eunuchmaker
>it's pottery because he is literally a eunuch himself

Would anything on this chart really change based on the PTR aside from D.Va dropping?

I start seeing more and more Reins on KoTH, now this explains it. I tought it was the only bad map for him, what changed?

Another one to add to the "why I'm not even diamond yet" excuse list

put one orb on ally, put one orb on enemy, aim balls to face
gg ez

>enemy team has pharah
>some dude dies to pharah
>"soldier you gotta get that pharah"

every single time, without fail

just spam orbs after using discord orb on an enemy, maybe you wont kill him but hell get the fuck out of there

also keep people you are healing with harmony orbs in your LoS

...

Oh man, this makes me happy.
Now keeping healthpacks in an area hacked will be easier to manage, and I won't feel like I'm sacrificing the chance to hack an enemy soon after that.

I thought they would buff the offensive part of his kit but I'm more than OK with this.

THICC HANZO

what, you're just gonna let the pharah fly around for free?

GROSS

DELETE THIS

it's the only counterpick xmas noobs know about

if pharah got close enough to the point of killing someone and you didnt shot her down, yeah it's your fault

very nice
post more thicc overwatch guys

Reminder to flame kiddies who are shit

Stop letting literal children get away with having 50 hours on Hanzo with a 40% winrate, tell them how much of a fucking cunt they are or they're just gonna keep doing it.

Why should he be allowed to ruin 5 other peoples game because he's having fun? How is that fair? How does anybody defend this behaviour? I don't care if yelling at them doesn't make them better, I'm not expecting it to. I'm expecting it to give them a taste of reality instead of this Blizzcuck safe space enabling bullshit we've got going on.

Tell people who are shit they're shit. Maybe the shame will get them the fuck off the game for a while or send them back to CS:GO where they can practice basic aiming 101 with their $10 WAL-MART track pad.

...

...

I don't have to because my other teammates already do it for me.

As Genji jump into large groups of enemies when no friendlies are around and try to get a solo team wipe. If there are friendlies around you stand as far away from the action as you possibly can spamming m1. Blame your healer when you inevitably die.

Ice walls are your friends. It doesn't matter how many friendlies you block, if your ice wall isn't on cooldown 100 % of the time you're doing it wrong.

Sombra is just useless so it doesn't really matter what you do.
Even when you play her well you're still gonna be a detriment to your team, but she's getting a buff soon so that might change.

Why did they shorten Junkrat's olympic games highlight intro?
Now it doesn't show him looking up to the grenade that is about to explode in his face. Or is it just me?

You must be really proud of your irl accomplishments

...

Any tips or tricks for someone trying to git gud at Pharah?

It's normal in the hero gallery but for whatever reason it's been cutting that part short in an actual match

Holy shit I think you're right

>be mercy main
>see that mercy usage.just fucking kill me

I just heard from that Ana is getting another nerf, will this change the META?

I don't have thicc, is this okay?

This has been happening to me too! I thought it was just lag or something, but it kind of feels like a lot of the highlight intros are just a hair shorter than they used to be.

Don't make it personal, user. The only reason you'd defend that behaviour is if you're underage too.

At least she's still above that purple nigger

hanzo main detected

It's only one second off her grenade duration so it's not that much

mercy is fine, especially now that ana is being nerfed

Can you guys shitpost harder? I'm stuck away from my computer and I need to live through you all.

>Sombra is more used than McCree
JUST

Thanks, I want to at least look like I am trying.

So do PC players always throw a temper tantrum everytime someone picks a character they dont think is viable?

I want to get the game on PC but if that kind of bullshit is going to occur often I don't want to join this pool of shit

have to admit, tf2 has the better comics

too bad the game is irrelevant shit

>Reaper and Junkrat are under Sombra

>Oasis | New Map Preview:
Why the fuck is this still up?

I'm an Ana main btw

autism

>the comic finally updated
Fucking finally

>lower dpi in game from 11 to 8
>loss streak

Am I just not getting used to it yet or it's a meme to play from the arm instead of the wrist?

>playing with 5 stack on kings row, they tell me to pick whatever
>i pick 76
>enemy has pharah
>i keep putting pressure on her, hard to snag direct kill since we are attacking and she can hide
>we get first point but struggle pushing payload
>one guy in 5 stack keeps complaining "someone needs to deal with the pharah" every time we wipe
>when we switch to defense, the pharah gets a mercy on her ass
>guy in 5 stack still repeats the same shit

we won, but it was still annoying as fuck. then immediately in the next game

>playing zen
>enemy has pharah
>we do poorly on attack
>on defense, reinhardt doesn't hold choke
>enemy team immediately floods in, we get fucked
>some dude says "soldier, you gotta deal with that pharah"
>enemy team escorts payload easily as our entire team is shit
>"soldier, you gotta deal with that pharah"

it's just retarded.

apagando can be situationally good if you have a well coordinated team

she's just bad for pickup trash like us

mccree is impossible to balance because if you make him better than soldier nobody will use soldier but if you make soldier better than mccree there's no point in ever using mccree

both do the same thing and soldier provides better utility and flexibility, you can't have mccree and soldier exist in the same universe and expect similar usage rates, one is going to be overwhelmingly better than the other.

best blu?

bring back old flashbang + right click combo

mccree will single handily wreck the tank meta

>be shit but chill
>flamer like you likes to shit on me for being bad at mccree despite having 7x more hours on him than any other hero
>quietly block and continue playing or if i'm having a good day watch you sperg while laughing

why would you be matched with me if you weren't just as shit? explain that, atheists.

>NA online tournament
>9 EU players

fucking hilarious there's no EU tournaments so they all just go to NA

OW league will be dominated by EU players living in NA

No, but I'll try to explain that 5 dps doesn't work because I can't play tank AND healer. If it's QP I just quit.

>Ana's still #1 healer power house with un-touched anti-heal
>D.Va still being prepped to get locked in the dumpster
>None of Sombra's actual issues addressed

Hope you boys like Tank Meta: Zarya edition! Now with EVEN MORE Soldier!

I don't get people going crazy but you'll hear some complaining here and there until the person either switches or does good enough people stop caring.

I want a character with heat vision

>diamond player
>always the best player on my team
>always have multiple plats on my team
>always have people who haven't placed on my team
>always have to carry
>enemy team never has less than diamond and always has master players

Fair and BALANCED

Please post irl pic so I can laugh at you
