>team is now full of defense heroes
s t o p

I can hold the flag myself, go do something that doesn't involve standing in our base

First for Spicy Thighs
both Zarya and Sym need more fanart of them
More porn as well

I love Hana.

I seriously hate this shitter behaviour
>go a strong defensive choice
>Haha that means i can tooXD
>me too!
>soon team has a hanzo, torb, widow and junk.
No it does not.

There needs to be a better way to avoid toxic players.
Ever since they made it so you still get placed with players who you have blocked, I always end up with the same toxic players who throw games.
How am I supposed to rank up in this environment?

just play 3v3 and pick roadhog

that hook is way too easy to land, he needs to be nerfed hes better than any DPS hero and hes supposed to be a tank.

when was that change made? I noticed it too recently but I can't find it in any of the patch notes.
And why did they change it? Were there just too many baddies not getting groups?

>I can hold the flag myself
You can get overwhelmed pretty quickly if they pick a Winston or something

One other on defense probably couldn't hurt

People were abusing it by using it to queue dodge against good players.

"Avoid this player" was removed months ago, if that's what you were referring to

It was being used to dodge players that were too skilled and dominating other players rather than just the assholes it was intended for

There is literally no point playing CTF in solo queue because everyone picks defense shit and turtles instead of going as a team to capture the flag.

I like the 4-2 method. Two defending, two attacking. Symmetra has her use but a single Winston comes in, and everything is ruined.
Bastion or Torb as secondary (preferably Bastion) I find to be of great assistance, because then you have an answer to the counters of Symmetra and likewise Sym counters Bastion's.

No, I was blocking toxic players and I keep getting matched with them on my team.

Chu likes D.VA naked and afraid.

Yeah, I don't mind ONE defensive character

But when there's a Mei, Torb, Hanzo, AND WINSTON sitting pretty in the base while i'm hoofin' it to the enemy base as Tracer while they have five guys meeting me halfway, i'm gonna get angry

Switched from Symettra to Tracer just to see the five other people on my team park their rear ends in front of our flag
only to get demolished by the opposition

Block just prevents all communication
That isn't enough?

Blocking just mutes them, it doesn't avoid them which is what he's talking about.
This creates the counter problem though, you can prefer a player and then wind up with them constantly so you can hunt someone down through using "Prefer this player" with no counter to rejecting them.

...

Well, as a consolefag, Winstons are alot dumber, and slower.

So, as Symettra, it's underwhelmingly easy to pick off two to three people (usually a 76 accompanied by a Zenyatta that only started playing for the skin, and a Lucio that doesn't know you can shield yourself from his airblasts)

No, I don't block them because they're bad or they're rude, I block them because they sit in spawn and shoot the wall because someone took soldier and they're soldier mains. I only block people who decide to roleplay as tyler1, where communication with them doesnt matter because they don't listen regardless.

i have some zarya futa images but i got banned last time i posted them

just do a quick search and you can find them

We all do.

>Sym, Torb, Bastion, Mei
You only need 2 of the 4 to effectively defend your flag. The other 4 are really a toss up on what you need. Tracer, Sombra, Winston, and Dva all really shine in the mode

meant to quote you with this

>Console

Oh, okay. Yeah. On PC a single symmetra wont fly. A single Bastion in my experience also doesn't fly either, on PC.

Predictions for S4?

...

Blocking is explicitly an act that cuts off communication only, if communication isn't the problem, then of course it won't accomplish anything.

In that particular case you should report them for griefing/inactivity and move on.

Votekick would be nice if it allowed someone else to fill in the comp queue

>Sym and Zarya
>Thicc and Muscular
This game is a blessing for Thighmen

Also forgot to crop, shame on me.

meta hasn't changed too much
besides dva not being picked as often
dive comps are slightly more favored

I just want palanquin
No more Blue Blue White White

>some faggot teabags me in death cam

how do I counter this

Where is the Shimada bros' mother? Who is she?

Bastion won't fly on console either
>"Oh, we got killed, alright, we know where he is now"
>>bastion is still in the same spot
>dies
>everyone is reminded how much of a one trick pony he is

Stop dying as much

Reporting someone doesn't stop them from being matched with you.

They might get a 1-2hr ban, and that's it.

That could work, but probably would also be abused.

>Reporting someone doesn't stop them from being matched with you.
>They might get a 1-2hr ban, and that's it.
There's not much else you can do, unfortunately.

...

git gud

Did votekick ever get abused in TF2?

>Play Bastion primarily on Defense because my very core personality is defensive by nature and Bastion gives me reason to camp and wait
>Patience for days
>Genji comes in and melt him
>Hear the pitter patter of Tracer foot steps around the corner
>Take her out before she even has time to blink or recall because headshots
>Genji is back and trying to kill me
>He can't deflect my bullets because I have trigger discipline
>Kill him as he tries to dance around him
>Relocate to the other side
>Watch Genji come back in again, instantly ult and dash up towards where I was
>He begins looking around
>Put him full of holes and he dies

I had one fucking hearty laugh.

Depending on the map I've only found three counters to a camping bastion.
If the map is open, Pharah from afar wittles you down.
But across every map, D.va just shuts you down, and Reinhardt's shield you can't blast through fast enough before he gets the flag.

You can destroy Mei's wall and interrupt her capping so she's not as much of a counter I find.

Bastion's definitely a one trick pony, but he shines in this CTF more than anything else, but like with everyone he has counters.

Nope.

Then again, TF2 players only asked for nerfs ironically, and Valve only ever listened to the community like, once in a blue moon.

>toxic players
>toxic
Found the fatass Tumblrina who gets triggered over people being mean in a multiplayer videogame.

...

>MUH TOXICITY
I hope they never listen to you.
You are the biggest scum of the Overwatch community and the game would do nothing but improve if they permanently banned all of you.

What would you call players who ruin your atmosphere with garbage like this?
youtube.com/watch?v=sWD1PJ8ZNuY

I'll usually be that 2nd defensive hero but I don't stick around the base if there's a strong enough defense there. I'll just set up my turret or trap and try to put pressure on the enemy team.

are we really going to just ignore this picture what the fuck user

I just wish that
1) Microsoft adds KB+M comparability for OW
and
2) Bastion players on xbone would learn how to reposition themselves after a wipe

A good Bastion or Torb is a godsend in quickplay and arcade, but you have to know when to move.

I love Torbjorn for the fact he's an easymode Engineer.

Everyone loves and appreciate everything you say on mic no matter how unrelated to the game it is because you're special and deserve to vent. League of Legends misses you.

Tell him to suck my dick and mute him.
Of course, oversensitive manchildren get an existential crisis everytime someone starts shouting in a multiplayer game.
You can't be more of a manchild than that.

It's a perfectly fine picture of Tracer, don't bully. Look, even D.va has joined in on the fun!

>you can still get placed with players you have blocked
>waaah, waaaah my safe space waifu game

I guess the developers care more about the actual integrity of the game, disallowing people the ability to pick and blacklist actual good players so that they can facilitate their own unbalanced teams to avoid having a challenge, over some little special snowflake whose PSTD is triggered because their team gently suggested he change off of hanzo

...

Best brown in town

I enjoy losing because the manchild I mean important person deserves to vent instead of playing the game. We all are here to help players like you heal and should bear the entirety of your attacks so we can prove that we aren't as bad as you are at coping with loss. I hope everyone else just learns when to give up too.

I don't do that.
I simply know that you are just as cancerous as them.
10 years ago people had a good laugh out of people going full retard on the mic.
What happened that made people start crying too?
Did the gaming community just get overrun by Tumblrinas who don't know how to deal with absolutely no contact?

A toxic player isn't necessarily a good player, or a bad one for that matter.

Someone explain how I just lost 150 points from one match.

You can yell the tumblr buzzwords however often you want, the fact of the matter is that everyone is bored of having to lose games to a 5v6 because special user needs to vent on mic.

Are you on a losing streak? Was the other team severe underdogs and somehow overcame your team?

Pretty much its a waste of time having to lose a game because one players has to be a pos

...

retard, I didnt say toxic players were good or bad, I said the game loses integrity if players can choose to blacklist as many people as they can.

Oh the enemy team has a pro widow main with 500 hours on that hero? I'll just pretend he called me a nigger and block him so he'll never stomp me again.
Oh shit their mcree has a golden gun, gonna block him so he cant steamroll me again

do you understand how this feature would be, for lack of a better term, fucking retarded?

>I enjoy losing because
Because you fucking suck.
You pick another class and carry if you care that much about winning.
But hey, you are already in the stage of passive agressive irony, so it means you already know what to do.

And i'm sure it makes sense
>WOAHH I'M RETARDED
>WOAHH THIS GUY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING RETARDED, CESNOR LE TOXIC LE PLAYER LE PLEASE

Nothing but obese Redditors being Redditors.
You all deserve a permanent ban.

Counter Strike Source had a community full of those, and it was still much better and nicer than Overwatch.
Of course, Overwatch features ''modern players'', AKA, manchildren, such as yourself.

user got triggered that someone called him a mean name like toxic

>unironical use of the word ''toxic''
Why don't you go back to wherever you came from?
I bet you are the ones who unironically write
>wew lad
>*action*
>LUL

It's really funny how something as simple as saying you don't like toxic players can make people here so mad.

samefag

Probably because the usage of the expression ''toxic players'' means that person has a 99% chance of being pic related.

The system they had in place before obviously didn't work, that's why it was removed.

But the post you're replying to did not want to be matched with someone who was throwing their games. No one wants to be matched with someone who throws games on purpose, and neither do you.

>australians wake up
>quality of the thread decreases significantly
toxic

Generally speaking, you're correct. 99% of these faggots picked up the term toxic from league of legends player behaviour videos and on league of legends as the fun buzzword to immediately shut down anyone who isn't dicksucking their entire team, but I remember people using the word toxic back in Warcraft 3 days so I guess im an OG when it comes to using that word. I never say it myself, or 'salty' for that matter because I think both terms are retarded and just saying 'trolling' encompasses both of them, however when replying to a comment it's hard not to mention the phrase i'm quoting so I was forced to say 'toxic'

my IQ is higher than yours 10fold

Trashtalking is one of the oldest things in multiplayer videogames.
It wasn't until the videogame community got overrun by oversensitive manchildren that they started feeling offended by it.
These ''people'' don't deserve to be heard, which is why the decision to remove ''block player'' was good, no hugbox for Tumblr.

...

I always loved this pic. She just looks so cute.

>wake up
Its night time here you stupid fuck.

DVa is shit, and every post posting DVa is a shitpost.
Shit waifu, shit character, shit personality, shit waifufags.
Kill yourself.

>tumblrtumblrtumblrtumblrtumblrtumblrtumblr
polly want a cracker?

the "manchildren" are the ones telling people to kill themselves and throwing games because someone picked a hero they don't like, not the ones saying they wish the community wasn't so shit

So no arguments anymore, excellent.
As a word of advice, don't play multiplayer games anymore until you grow some ovaries.

>Austrailans wake up
>Currently 6:20pm in Queensland, Australia
>The biggest time zone difference inside the Commonwealth of Australia is only 2 hours
>Unless you're referring to Australian territories like Christmas island or our scientific research centre on Antarctica
>Both of which are only a 3 hour time difference to the mainland

I'm not sure if you're retarded or if you actually think Australians start their day at 4~6~8pm in the evening.

Dva is my favorite

...

Everyone please protect the players who rage at everyone on the team on mic. Just because they engage in trash talking, doesn't mean you get to throw hate speech like "toxic" at them.
Stop caring about losing SR just give them a safe space to cry on mic and throw the game with them.

Americans are stupid, news at 11.

I think its mostly because it's not just trash talking anymore. Because of the rise of team-emphasised games you are forced to rely on strangers to cooperate with you, and if somebody gets tilted, trash talked or starts raging, they're more liable to end up playing worse, affecting their teams experience.

I've always played the game, if I start raging at someone I'll still play the game through, but I guess it stems from league of losers where if somebody is trashtalking when losing they more than likely just end up afk'ing, sitting at spawn, ragequitting or trolling their team like mei walling spawn, troll teleporters, ect

There is a difference between trash talking and just generally being an immature fuck and that difference is people over the age of 18

No ur from tumblr because how dare you get mad at user for throwing the game, it's all your fault anyway TUMBLR

>Europeons wake up
>thread become significantly more reddit and tumblr.
Makes you think

>implying anyone's going to wake up at 9AM to shitpost in /owg/

>I think both terms are retarded and just saying 'trolling' encompasses both of them
That doesn't really work, trolling is pretty specific to baiting people with shit, the troll himself isn't necessarily upset or angry--that being specifically what "salty" means.

Now "toxic" is a bit more vague but the general idea is that the toxic person's negative (i.e. poisonous) attitude is bringing the whole team or game down somehow. Everyone suffers when they're around.

Widows bangs!

Who does she bang?

without all that talon gear wouldn't her body temperature and skin color return to normal

Me and my friend now have won 13 games in a row and half of the matches the enemy has a thrower, usually the healer. Are we actually getting out of plat?
