/owg/ - Overwatch General

Why is Symmetra meta?
Doesn't she do terrible damage and have shit skills while being weak to the wind?

>Latest meme: youtu.be/yEaHwQMAKJ8
>Autismohardt

DELET

She has amazing dps

>Tank
>Has instant self-heal
>Can OHK every counter he has
>Can displace enemies at very short cooldowns

I know it's bait but I'll reverse trollbait you
It exists, it's called Roadhog

Purple!

>TF2's soldier isn't a watered down copy of Quake's core mechanics

At least Pharah has a projectile that pushes enemies for displacing enemies or environmental kills. What new did Hat Soldier bring to the table?

No one denies that Overwatch has copied heavily from TF2 and other popular shooters.

Making Sombra Viable:

- Implement PTR changes of hacking from 1 second to 0.8 seconds

- Hack and cloak now requires 35 damage minimum to be interrupted

- Cloak and Decloak animations reduced from 1 to 0.3 seconds

- Sombra no longer announces her decloaking, but the decloaking noise can still be heard

- Shield removed from Hack or EMP can not be healed until Hack is over.

There, now She is a completely viable offensive/support harassing hero who doesn't have to worry about her casted abilities getting interrupted by a stray 1 damage and her EMP/ Hack isn't pointless with healers being a thing.

>d.va will never escort your rip-tire

;_;

>tfw you start to play Widow
lmao

can I expect more of this if I continue?

at least 7 people in the last /owg/ did

60 minutes

Loli Pharmercy when?

She also flies and plays a lot of time above ground
And let't not pretend TF2 invented the rocket launcher (or rocket jumping)

cute

Because I'm tired of people defending the head writer rubbing his chub to the scrub and the cherub.

>Asian male head writer
>suddenly more and more of one of the only Asian males getting with one of the very attractive cast members despite little basis for this

Self insert. Bad writing. Simple as that. Anyone who defends it is just permitting more bad writing and things will never improve.

They have similar weapons, that's it

Mcree and spy aren't the same either

Zenyatta is cute!

CUTE!

absolutely

I'm waiting for someone to draw D.va rolling riptire with two broomsticks instead of her guns

How bad is the Symmetra nerf going to be

>Anyone who defends it is just permitting more bad writing and things will never improve.
So what?
Who gives a shit, it's not like it's a story worth giving a fuck about.
The story is just kind of there to fill gaps.
It's a multiplayer only shooter.

Immortals are gonna win the whole thing unless Renegades can play like they were last week.

I totally forgot that TF2 invented rocket launchers in 2007

Mexican hacker girl

Absolutely

>play DPS
>"OMG user SWITCH TO HEALER LIEK FOR REAL, YOU'RE not HELPING"
>switch to healer
>enemy players stop dying and we get pushed back to our spawn
>teammates blame me for not healing them when they're rushing in the middle of the enemy team and getting shot by four enemies at once

Does it count as autism if I actually enjoy ruining other people's experience of the game while at the same time playing my favorite character?

>he cant write Asian characters that have anything good happen to them because then he would be self-inserting because he is Asian too

What?

>Because I'm tired of people defending the head writer rubbing his chub to the scrub and the cherub.

Why would he give a fuck when he has no means of properly telling a story?
Blizzard is not up to doing a singleplayer campaign, no one but a bunch of autists give a shit about comics, and CGI animations are too expensive to be more than 2 minutes long.
The story is not a main focus, and it was never going to be one.

Stop giving him attention

I wouldn't worry for a couple of patch cycles, and then it'll just be a tweak and a stealth buff

>explain that the reason I care is because if they're not called out for bad writing bad writing will continue to be permissible
>"lol who cares it's just a video game xD"

I'm just saying that the similarities between Pharah and Soldier are uncanny. Just as Junkrat fires bouncy grenades while also being able to move quickly by detonating his sticky bomb(s) beneath him, which is a copy-paste of Demo

D.va levels

I'm so sorry

Everything that they do is qualified as bad writing. Even the Tracer comic they released was a perfect example of bad writing, that is what Blizzard does.
They don't have a story, they don't know what they are doing, we don't know shit about any of the heroes besides some things about Ana and S76 and even these are vague as fuck. It would be wiser to start with the story and the fucking characters and then start giving a damn about who fucks who in Overwatch.
The only reason that there is so much fuzz about Genji having feelings about Mercy is that all these lesbian tumblr landwhales who saw themselves in Pharah minus the body type, intelligence, beauty and importance in society are losing their virtual girlfriend and Chu is the only one who can blame at the moment.

>People are this upset that their waifu could have a husbando
Never understood why japs would tear up their merch when they found out their waifu was sullied and suddenly its the current meta

He's had good shit happen to him, he's achieved inner peace with some weird robot cult, forgiven his brother for trying to kill him, etc etc.
But we know Chu personally ships Gency why would you give him the benefit of the doubt that it isn't because he likes Mercy and wants le cool cyborg ninja self insert to be with her? Especially when, as discussed at length in the other thread, thus far there's literally no reason for them to like each other nor an opportunity for them to spend time together

>"lol who cares it's just a video game xD"
Not just a videogame, a multiplayer only shooter.
What the fuck did you expect from this.

No one cares about the story, it was never going to be good, because the objective of OW is being a multiplayer shooter, not telling a story.
Hell, there's not even a plot going on even though the game is close to being 1 year old.

Seriously, what made you all give a shit about this?
It's been terrible since the begining.

ITT: Chimpout

sure nahaz

That's a shitload of assuming, projecting, and raging about retarded shit. Would you be throwing this much of a shitfit if it was a white woman writing the same thing and screaming about how she's self-inserting as Mercy??

Found the cucked Mercyfag.
Should have chosen a better waifu.

Can someone spot how I killed this Rein? The second shot hits right in the middle of his shield.

But chu is Chinese. Genji is Japanese.

>europoors waking up
>thread quality quickly going to shit
Noggin status: Joggin

Metafaggots are out in full force and it's insane.

It doesn't help that guides to "getting good" are the same guides that suggest being a leader and making decisions for your team. Turns out people don't like being told what to do and the same people insecure enough to look to a YouTube guide on how to be better are the same people with no concept of what works and what doesn't.

>europeans wake up at midnight

Ana's noscope is a projectile, so it's possible that with its trajectory and its barn sized hitbox that you managed to hit him behind it.

European Vampires are the worst user.

someone else damaged him while your dot was still ticking from the first shot

What makes you think Chu is autistic enough to care about any of this?
All of this only holds itself together if you assume that Chu is one of those autists who goes to sleep hugging a dakimakura of Mercy, when he's an adult who probably has an actual life, a girlfriend, and maybe even family.
He's probably laughing his ass off at all the butthurt he has caused.

Overwatch doesn't have good writing, but it never set out to tell a well written story.
Otherwise they would have made an entirely different videogame.

When is overwatch's summer 2017? Don't say summer.

Summer

Americucks shitting up the thread again

>non bleu
Pls delet this is a Blu board.

>ayy lmaos go to sleep
>Widow posting is nowhere to be seen

This sounds like a lot of salt and projection to me, user. You need to worry more about yourself than Chu.

is mercy a pedophile AND a robotfucker?

Blue is perfect even when not blue.

Of course blue is still best.

Still here.

I believe the DOT from the first shot killed him. Seems a little delayed, but it's either that or the replay recording doesn't didn't accurately record your crosshair placement (it happens).

Overwatch isn't meant to have some deep story. The game just has a little backstory to explain why these characters are fighting each other.

If I wanted a deep story, I'd play an RPG or Action/Adventure.

Meta slaves hate Widow. One guy cried on mic and another wouldn't shut the fuck up whining nonstop.

Hey /owg/! You talk about lore-based maps you want in the game a lot (e.g. Junkertown).

What gimmicks would your map have?
What areas would there be?
Would it be KoTH, assault, hybrid?

Someone else hit him and brought him very, very low and then your very last damage over time tick killed him.

...

>Overwatch doesn't have good writing, but it never set out to tell a well written story.
>Bad writing is excusable if we don't expect it to be good
What a lazy fucking attitude.

The ruined Omnic factory in the Outback.

KotH

Large piles of debris, narrow service tunnels, and the point is underneath a Titan Omnic.

moon base

help me

I want a summoner hero

a korean map that had a kaiju omnic map event would be bretty cool

this as capture the flag

guy holding the flag is silenced as long as he carries it

A flooding coastal Korean city being attacked by a Kaiju-omnic with Meka units flying around everywhere.

how is that even possible?

I bet she smell like perfection

...

Holy fuck I just broke into shit-tier diamond rankings (~3040) and what the fuck is going on? I thought these people were supposed to have their shit together, it seems as if every 3 matches or so I'm stuck with a griefer or some asshole that goes full tilt when the enemy gets 2 points in a payload map. This is fucking mental.

>meta is extremely stale
>some heroes are flawed by design (widow, ana, sombra)
>some heroes are mandatory (rein, lucio, ana because op)
>one hero makes others useless (soldier)
>game is a mess to watch
>hackers everywhere
>maps are just a bunch of chokepoints
>team releases ptr but won't listen to feedback
>it's a shitty mess to watch so doesn't work as esport

why do I like this game again?

H͈̼E̸͙̻̤͎L͍͙̦̟͓̮̙͘P̠̪͈͚̖͉

It's not lazy.
OW is not doing something it didn't set out to do.

>Bad writing is excusable if we don't expect it to be good
It's excusable when it's not a relevant part of the game.
It's a multiplayer shooter.

toblerone and symmetra are the closest thing you will get to a 'summoner'

git gud

Korean-Kaijumind

Anyone else wondering what her flesh would taste like? Haha.

waifus, memes, doesn't take 1/10 as long to get into as a real esport like dota or starcraft

nah she probably smells like frog legs and surrender.

Breaking out of Bronze just requires basic shit.
youtu.be/gtqv426EptQ

Because it has great potential and you see it too. It just isn't there, and probably won't ever truly reach it.

>soldier 76 can plant 100 damage across the map with 20 damage per bullet shots

>Reaper and Mccree still exist

Why? He now can shit out reaper tier damage at close range with more consistent headshots and Mccree tier damage at long range being able to reliably heal himself and others, have better mobility, and a better ult than the other 2.

>>it's a shitty mess to watch so doesn't work as esport
lol what, any top-down moba is 10 times messier than OW and if you haven't played all of the 150+ heroes you have no idea wtf is even going on
