/owg/ - Overwatch General

People were asking for a new thread, so I copy and pasted the previous one.

TF2 is about a thousand times better than this shit pile.

There's no such thing as a good class based game.
They are the bottom of the barrel, games built by casuals, for casuals.
''Games'' that requiere no skill whatsoever, and with absolutely terrible communities that, alone, make the game not worth playing.

>event ends "13th"
>lasted like two more days

>trusting ow dates

>ET
Tribes was fun too.

Hi-Rez garbage and a game that only became a thing because it was free.

Reminder no new content planned and heroes drop in the middle of seasons.

>Tribes
>Tribes 2
>Tribes Vengeance
>don't exist and aren't good class based games

So?

OW isn't a class fps. Its a hero fps with roles.

Team Fortress 2 is nothing but the Overwatch of the 2000's.
Fortunately, neither had any effect on the FPS genre.
These two games have the potential to ruin the FPS genre as a whole, do much more damage than Call of Duty, Battlefield and DLCs combined.

So basically, a class based shooter.

PTR now shows SR under 500 as

>So basically, a class based shooter.
No you underage dipshit.

>i play to win
>keeps losing

Why can't mad as hell Team Cuckies stop themselves from raiding Overwatch threads and the general?
What did Overwatch do to create so much asshurt?

>These two games have the potential to ruin the FPS genre as a whole
how the fuck is FPS not ruined already with a new CoD every year with gameplay for ADHD children than only requires twitch reflex?
FPS has been a pleb genre for the last 15 years at least

>can't say GGEZ
>can't see SR fall
>can't see teammates performance
>can't be better than any other top 500 player

Soon you aren't going to be able to see peoples rank or profile at all.

I dunno but widow makes my balls ache

why would you need to know more? everyone at that level is absolute garbage anyway
like that's literally "people without arms" tier

You forgot highskill heroes nerfed to the point they become memes.

It was fun while it lasted 8 games 6 lost 1 draw and 1 win.

>ywn be married with Fareeha

It can, if you take what TF2 and Overwatch have done to FPS games, and you apply it to the entire genre, you can ruin it far more.
Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch are the bottom of the barrel.

For some reason this games makes people extremely mad even if they have never played it before. It's like they think the game is a threat to them somehow.

to be honest i wish we had an option to make our career profiles private. i mean you can do that in csgo too.

Thats how the game makes you feel when playing it haha

>''...''

i just ordered a shitty 20€ microphone. now i can start yelling at my teammates to protect me as ana.

Do the same thing around it's release on their threads.
Both sides should leave the threads. This shit is completely irrelevant both in their threads and in ours.

>need to wait an entire year for another qt waifu

they literally have been endlessly skill creeping high floor characters because silvers cant hit anything
what are you even talking about

>shitty
>€20

My mic cost $8aud

Spotted the Genji/Road main.

It's obviously to stop those people that derank to try to get to 1 SR, dummy

It's another Pharah Mercy dominating your team episode.

Why are DPS players such shit in Platinum?

Um no. You see they nerfed Widow to the ground. To. The. Fucking. Ground. Because players average ones at that were bursting into tears from being sniped. They broke her so bad you had to be at the level of the no.1 to even play her.
They then later buffed her scope speed which made her playable again. This is where the widow is trash meme came from.
They did the exact same thing to genji because of the same players. They have nerfed just about everything on him.
Then they nerfed mcree also another story.

NERF ZARYA NOW.

NO HERO SHOULD BE REWARDED FOR ME SHOOTING AT THEM!

I AM SICK TO DEATH OF BEING OUT DPSD BY ZARYA AS A PURE OFFENSE CHARACTER LIKE HANZO OR GENJI (MY TWO FAVOURITES).

RIOT WOULD NEVER ALLOW SUCH AN UNFUN AND UNBALANCED HERO TO MAKE IT INTO LEAGUE.

i have broken my wrist 2 weeks ago and playing pharah while my gf is pocketing me with 100% uptime is the only way i can still play at a "decent" level.
i'm playing at 32## sr

Thats another hero they nerfed.

>Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch are the bottom of the barrel.
>strong emphasis on team gameplay
>don't take themselves so bloody seriously
>actually try something vaguely new with the genre
I still don't see it. I mean the fanbases are definitely cancer, but that's just an unfortunate side effect of popularity.
Is it about the skill floor being fairly low? Because the ceiling is still high (in TF2 at least).

genji along with tracer are the top dps picks at pro tournaments rn.
they both are ahead of s:76 which i'm sure you cry about how op he is

>strong emphasis on team gameplay
Which means that, regardless of your skill, you will be punished if you are paired with shit players.

>don't take themselves so bloody seriously
So?

>actually try something vaguely new with the genre
No they didn't.
Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is 15 years old.

> Because the ceiling is still high (in TF2 at least).
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

pro tournaments are completely different to solo que in every way imaginable. perfect teamwork and optimal team composition means different hero meta.

You're an idiot.

I just had a game where I had gold healing as Zenyatta whlile Ana AND Lucio where in my team.

Do people believe that road has a hog face with bolts in it?

>Which means that, regardless of your skill, you will be punished if you are paired with shit players
why are you even playing a team game then? just go ahead and rek some scrubs in CoD or BF with your totally sicc noscope skillz bruh if that's what you're after

No, COD and Battlefield are also cancer due to slow mobility and low TTK, among other things like killstreaks and perks.
Not to mention that Battlefield is a combination of COD and TF2.

I'm just trying to tell him how OP genji was at release when even after all those nerfs he still is a top pick at pro level.

>perfect teamwork and optimal team composition means different hero meta

Of course but you see every shitter here copying the pro meta and also whine about how stale it is while it doesn't affect them at all and can pick whatever the fuck they want at the level of play they are in.
Myself is included at the above level of play of course.

The other reason they nerf "skill" heroes is they don't want seasoned fps vets having an advantage over casuals.

Is it possible to go from 2380 to diamond playing only supports?

Since Pharah is a quadruple amputee why don't they just make her right arm a rocket rather than making two robotic arms that hold one?

spotted the "pro" genji main that is only gold because he keeps getting matched with bad teams
fuck you blizzard am i right?

Am I the only one who have gotten complete and utter retards on my team the past few days?

It's mind boggling how bad they are.

that's just his Halloween skin tho

>I'm just trying to tell him how OP genji was at release when even after all those nerfs he still is a top pick at pro level.
You didn't say that at all and thats the thing you are not getting nerfing heroes doesnt affect high skill players yet that is the reason given which is a lie. It ends up weakening the heroes for everyone and making them unplayable for a lot of the players.

you still have CS though, and there are probably some dinosaurs still playing Quake somewhere

Yes. In fact some guy has a Youtube channel about it.

>both teams have widows
>your widow is letting their widow snipe for free and not contesting them ever

Because she is not.

>nerfing heroes doesnt affect high skill players
you mean to tell me pros don't abuse

yes, i have done it in every season so far.

>Pro player metas are the same as standard QP and Comp metas!

don't abuse heros that are overperforming to win and nerfs don't matter to the at all? Remember D.Va a few weeks ago?
fuck my ADHD

What. I'm saying I still rip teams up with Tracer, Genji, widow, mcree.
They don't affect me but the intention was to affect players like me but it does make playing these heroes harder.

That user is just some autist shitter.

>shitty fan art is canon

no

its not physically possible to fit limbs in her suit

they must be prosthetic

does anyone know how big the effect of the placment matches is now?

If I have a 3600sr right now and tank my 10 placement matches, how low could I possibly get?

you forgot to add Redditor to hit that sweet Veeky Forums buzzword bingo, shitter

Which suit? The raptorian is obviously a cyborg.

Where is the counter play against a Roadhog?

>Roadhog sees you
>instantly throws a hook
>Gigantic triggerbox of hook hits you 9/10 times
>Lose all control of hero
>Die
>Roadhog walks of to kill the next person for free

Even if you bait out the hook he has so much fucking longevity with his HP and self heal by the time you get him low he will just hook you before you kill him again. Fuck this hero.

year?

Mad little shitter. Why would you even discuss the nerf cycle when its obvious you just came in this season?
Fuck off to /v/ kiddo.

don't fight him 1v1 as he designed to win those

Mornin'

the effect is not very big from what I've heard if you already have an sr
I didn't and it placed me in gold with 5 wins / 5 losses

You need atleast 3 people to take him down, silly user.

What's with all the lower levels whinging today? It seems that everyone is mouthing off at each other today, rather than playing the game.

Healing Symmetra should be classified as a war crime

reaper is a decent counter since you can just shift through his hook and can fairly easily take him down when flanking
but even he can't do it 100% 1v1

>tfw a /b/ tier troll kid is in the thread asking bait questions and saying stupid shit
Deeeeeep breath. kill yourself kid.

>it's a "which part of 'too many snipers' you don't understand?" episode

been playing since mccree could double fth 100-0 every tank and genji could 1v6 nanoblade.
fuck off

>Roadhog sees you
>instantly throws a hook
>but...
>you're flying in 200m distance and shooting rockets at him as phara
>jk you're actually shooting him from high ground as soldier, taking a step back if he hooks
>nvm what you're really doing is standing behind Rein's shield and charging your ult with those free headshots as [insert almost any hero here]
>I meant Tracer, you're Tracer, blinking around solo ulting that pig all day

Kys

ok genji main

I want to bully this widowmaker

when will someone make an FPS designed for 1v1 and being an esport

i'm so tired of team games

good morning i hope you slept well
