First for !!!CATCHPHRASE!!!


But seriously, for April fools, is that all?

!!!BRING ME ANOTHER!!!

event when?

First for I wish you could buy this.

Go away marcas.

Sleepy sniper

>want to play torb
>soldier can't aim his way out of a fucking paper bag
>Pharah up my ass entire time

I might as well never not play Roadhog or Soldier. You can't rely on anybody ever.

I unironically want Morrison x Reyes to be a thing. Not even homo. It just feels right imo

Her ass is the best

But they are handmade, soft, cute, and wobbly. You have no soul.

P U F F Y

Paedophile hero when?

Said this many times already, but I want to kick that bulge as hard as I can

Im waiting on a train to get me home by around 2AM central. Should I play a few comp games before going to sleep or is the weekend meme still really bad this late?

We will probably get fake patch notes and some kind of joke announcement. Don't expect too much.

At this point, only the edgy kids and Ana76 shipper fags get mad at it. It seems like everyone rolls on the Reaper76 train. And not in a shipping fashion either. Both ironically, and unironically its thematically appealing. The material writes itself. You want comedy? You want drama; action? I mean it has it all, and it fits into the plot like a missing puzzle piece. It just works.

>Telltale signs you're about to lose a match
>insta lock mercy, girl voice booms out of party chat
well i didnt need this SR i guess

>season high 3136
>current 2651

Haven't won a single game tonight. Obviously barely diamond isn't high or anything but at this point I barely want to play. I'd have to go on a huge winning streak of like ten games to fix this. Much more likely I'll just keep losing because the further down I get the more plats and golds and the worse we'll do.

Should never have broken my no weekend Overwatch rule

>check my win/loss
>90/81

It all makes sense now. Cunts.

O2zim#1460

>try to play dps
>tanks and supports dont assist me in creating openings
I know its my job to kill people but at least help me kill them its not always my fault I cant kill anyone ;_;

Fags can't be cool. They'll never make the two kiddie bait characters gay. Edgelord and call of duty soldier are the casual character prototype.

In my experience weekend bad only ends after 12am. Take it from someone who lost 500 SR today

Well im off tomorrow and never beating the gold rank yoyo anyway so ill give it a go

>your Orisa puts half of her shield behind a wall
>your Orisa drops supercharger when the last enemy is on the point and half dead
>your Orisa drops supercharger in front of her shield
>your Orisa moves the enemy bastion into high ground

i am neither and i think it's never going to happen

>They'll never make the two kiddie bait characters gay.

Tracer is their gay mascot on the box. After that, they have free range to do what they like. Also, if you think the only way to write a relationship between two guys is straight up gay you are thinking too much inside the box. There is a thing called being bisexual. Also, sometimes sexuality has nothing to do with it. I've read many a story with romantic subplots driven entirely by the concept of meeting your "soulmate". Male or female it doesn't matter.

Yeah maybe I am giving the """lore""" too much credit for something like that to be a somewhat of a major plot point but on the other hand Chu likes Reaper76 and wants the relationship between Ana, Gabe, and Jack to be "complex", so who knows. It would certainly work. Overwatch isn't really made to appeal to the edgy kiddies anyway, its supposed to be an optimistic future with fun and super heroes. Reaper and 76 are edgy in an ironic and overdone fashion.

Why is timthefatass even in GM? He obviously got carried by other streamers.

Does anyone else feel like osira is way more powerful on offense?

>losing in solo queue all night
>five stack on my friends list invites me to play
>finally my luck has turned
>middle of first round
>router just fucking dies
>mash to get back in
>you are suspended

My point wasn't believing its going to happen. It was not minding or liking to see it. There are quite a few people that do. Not shipper fags but even in an ironic sense, fanarts are always mashing those two together doing "old married couple" jokes. You know what I mean. I see it everywhere, even in just comics about the fucking game, lore aside.

>orissa shield

Some morals must accept reality

I want to become good friends with Sombra and trick her during April fools.

I think you are don't understand Overwatch's character design. They are trying to appeal to as many audience's as possible with their character and reaper is there to capture the edgy crowd. And soldier 76 is there to capture the call of duty crowd. I do think that both of those crowds would react negatively to this reveal and Blizzard knows that.

Additionally it would be a huge asspull at this point since the majority of interactions is them hating each others guts and trying to kill the other.

>No Valentine's Day event
>No St. Patrick's Day event
>No April Fool's Day event
>No Easter event
It hurts senpai

I've got a bridge to sell you if you really think that isn't part of their audience. The entire concept of OW is to appeal to every single denominator. That's WHY Reaper is an over the top edge charicature and S76 is literally named Soldier and has a call of duty moveset. Blizzard is brilliant at marketing they know who Soldier and Reaper are for and it's not fujoshits.

They're not going to make all three of their main characters gay. If anything it'll be some weak ass shit about Reaper getting jealous over Ana

Because they have opposite personalities. Shit writes itself once you got two characters that contrast each other since you can make sure they will always have conflict. But they were given opposite personalities to be enemies, not friends.

Good desu. Really gimmicky shit sucks that's why purples are usually better than the golds. Year of the Rooster and Olympics has been the best event because the costumes are so beholden to cheesey shit

Who is the bestest tank and why is it Orisa??

> can shoot while having barrier up
> long range
>gatling gun with no fall off damage
>Zarya's ult for alt fire
> Ult gives sure win for team fights

You haven't been visiting this thread very often. Though admittedly we hate the shippers not the ship itself.

jack of all trades, master of none

>long range
>good for a tank
kek

I wish Orisa's barrier had more health and covered the same breadth as Rein's shield. Right now it feels paper thin and I can't hold a choke without a pocket healer.

>Head the size of the Great Pumpkin

user, none of those holidays are something to cry about. I would rather have a few good events rather than many half-assed ones.

Anyway; i don't think you can make any of them fit overwatch without being too silly.

...

>Additionally it would be a huge asspull at this point since the majority of interactions is them hating each others guts and trying to kill the other.

To the faggots that have no interest in the lore to wake up one day and see people shit posting on Veeky Forums about them being butt buddies, yes it would be an ass pull. But in reality they got bits and pieces of backstory on the two of them joining Overwatch together and staying alongside each other for 20 years despite feuding prior to the wanting to kill each other shit. With all that considered, it fits just fine. In fact it would give Reaper some motive since in Old Soldiers he does nothing but bitch over Jack "doing" this to him. And I mean, why would you take offense to the guy you "supposedly" want dead trying to kill you back? It's a fat plot hole.

Also:
>They are trying to appeal to as many audience's as possible
You're right with S76 but Reaper was not designed to be that character. He's an offshoot of the Reaper that was designed for TITAN.

Fuck you Dude. You're a burnout.

Accurate but the curvature is amazing. The amount of times, as a healer, that curved barrier has saved me is ridiculous.

I remember point B in Anubis, Defense, and a Sombra was on the upper ground (That little circle platform thing) trying to shoot down at me and the curvature of the barrier was saving me from dying

>too silly
You can dress Zenyatta up as a nutcracker and Roadhog has a costume wearing antlers with Rudolph painted on his stomach with a light-up belly button nose complete with candy cane painted hook

>/owg/ is literally the angsty, foulmouthed, butthurt and eternally salty version of the overwatch subreddit
really makes you think
but hey, at least i can say nigger here

Jesus fucking christ even with a group of four I still can't actually break out of 2800.

This is fucking aids. People at this ELO are so retarded that they can't be carried. They're holding on to the floor.

I'm so close to uninstalling this shit game.

Reddit is literally Veeky Forums with rules because they have names, despite how much Veeky Forums tries to argue to the contrary.

user all that "lore" you mention was never published. I am talking about what is presented to us and their big interaction is old soldiers of them trying to kill each other. There ain't no romance in that.

Reaper was straight up designed for the edgy crowd, and by that I mean 13 year old boys. You know they would hate Reaper if he was gay.

You're mixing up S76 for Reaper if you don't think I'd read the character design memos. S76 is the calladooty guy so that the edgy kids could hop on him and feel familiar. Reaper was not designed to be that character. I can pull up the damn character design sheets if you like. It's simple fact. Reaper was one of the first characters designed and he was a pull from a TITAN that they revised.

You can look at it from whatever angle you want and think its all blatant marketing but at the end of the day Overwatch's theme from the get go was optimistic future and feel good story elements. It's in the first cinematic and it's been the theme aaaall the way through since then.

>I believe everything I'm told from the marketing dept.

The people making these decisions are doing so for money not for feel good.

>reaper is not edgy
What? Do you live under a rock user?

>opposite personalities to be enemies, not friends
And yet the basis of Overwatch lore is that it wouldn't even have began if they weren't together for 20+ years. It clearly says in fine print that the world changed due to their decision to join Overwatch together. They were friends at the very least. That's canon.

...

I visit the thread plenty. Been here since May. Ana76 fags are quiet passive aggressive until they start spamming caps. But hey, its funny to watch.

Speak for yourself, I hate both

>tfw really bad with dueling

So is flanking off the table for me?

That I will admit, The shape is great, protects small characters from so many angles.
That may be why it has less hp, since winston's barrier was also given less hp than rein's.

I still feel the fact that Rein's 2000hp barrier will never be able to beat because its just such a huge hp soak that nothing else can compare to.

>playing comp
>2-0 on oasis
>suddenly the pharah decides to speak for the first time that game
>"ffs orisa switch your fucking useless trash and where the fuck are my heals mercy"
>32k damage blocked and 31k damage dealt with 27 obj kills and 4 minutes obj time

When will the Orisa hate end? She's totally viable. She doesn't replace Rein, and isn't a great option as your solo tank, but pair her with any other tank and she's fantastic.

>Reaper was straight up designed for the edgy crowd, and by that I mean 13 year old boys. You know they would hate Reaper if he was gay.

But man, that's your interpretation you have to realize that. That wasn't the idea when they made him. It's in hard print alongside his character designs. And you're gonna have to be more detailed on what you mean by published, because this looks published to me: playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/19809396/

Maybe its not smack dab in your face but that is there to explain they weren't always just enemies, that's the point.

>But man, that's your interpretation you have to realize that.
>DEATH WALKS AMONG YOU
>hurr ur just interpreting him as edgy ur biased

You also need to realize characters weren't just ported over from Titan 1:1

I met Charlet Chung in Dallas today. She says she has heard nothing about a D.Va animation yet. In case anyone was wondering.

>everyone who designed the game is so brainwashed they they say the same things about the characters that only the marketing department wants them to believe

My god. Activision is keeping Kaplan micro-chipped too I'm sure.

Men can't be bi. You're a fag or you're not.

And all fags need to fuck off already. You're freaks and a small percentage of the population. Stop trying to force people to see you as equals.

user are you fucking kidding me? Titan Reaper was arguably even MORE edgy. Most games made with a wide net have that badass anti-hero edgelord template.

>skull mask
>black cloak
>Talks constantly about death
user, Reaper is so edgy that he makes Spawn look tame in comparison.

You are trying to convince yourself the writing is anything but surface level then I have bad news for you.

There is EDGY. And then there is humorous, poke-fun-at-yourself, ironic edgy. Which do you think Reaper is?

Hint: It's in the refrigerator.

>get the steambot skin for Bastion
>see that it changes his bird from a yellow bird to a dove
>the birdcall it makes also changes

wew

nice touch blizz

I don't think they're allowed to even discuss it with fans if the VA's have news about any new animated short

Eh, even if they did make one, they wouldn't tell her, Voice actors have no say in the characters.

How was she?

Master of tanks.

>doesn't know how to use suppressing fire
kek

how would you balance that?

that I agree.

...

Except people who like that stuff aren't going to see it as them being made fun of. One of my friends is a normie as fuck adult who loves things like the Punisher and has a Shadow the Hedgehog wallet and the first thing he said when he saw Overwatch was that he was maining Reaper. His screen name is something like xXFatalityXx

>not enemies
user, I know the lore. But nowhere have they shown the two of them talk to each other in a non-hostile fashion. Maybe the halloween comic but that gave no hints of what they thought of each other at that point in time.

There ain't no relationship, there is just a presumed one. It sounds to me that you are filling in holes with what you think should be there.

>hurr ur just interpreting him as edgy ur biased

God damn I thought you people realized I was saying the point is he's ironically edgy and over to the top to fit into feel good game like Overwatch. I sad that from the beginning. I thought the point was making him fuck Jack would piss off the cool kids that think he's not ironically edgy.

i-its still possible to get the palanquin dva skin right
r-right?

He's edgy. It would be poke fun at yourself if once in the canon lore they made fun of his attitude, but Soldier 76 and Ana take him 100% seriously, meaning they want us to also take him and his "curse" seriously.

Or do you think they are hitching all of Reaper's backstory on a joke?

>I thought the point was making him fuck Jack would piss off the cool kids that think he's not ironically edgy.

Our counterpoint is that there would literally be no logical reason to do this. Blizzard wants to make money. Driving away a huge chunk of normies to validate fujo porn would be a stupid business decision.

People nearly rioted when their waifu kissed a girl imagine if their self-insert fucked a man.

Next chinese new year

Next year yeah

>I thought the point was making him fuck Jack would piss off the cool kids that think he's not ironically edgy.
>Blizzard ever doing this
You are delusional user if you think that a company will piss off some people to fill a minority's fantasy.

Anyway, they have Reaper as one of the few main villains, you know the gay crowd would go apeshit since Reaper is evil.

make it happen, brothers

i want to wear a cute egytion chinese dress
its not fucking fair guys

Then go buy one and wear one

Reaper has already been made fun of in the canon lore. Sombra's short as the biggest culprit. But that aside, I never implied that the big 3 are taking what happened to Gabe lightly. The whole point is that they are likely the only 2 people left who give any sort of a damn about him.

In fact I don't know why you are going off on this. The point was that if Reaper is fucking S76, canonically, it would piss off the edgy tweens that think Reaper is unironically edgy. My point being is that Reaper was never meant to be a real edge man, just a caricature of the trope. Meaning, they can take liberties with his character. Make him a good guy in his past. Give him some human like qualities like love, hobbies, and quirks to make his transformation into Reaper all the more depressing. And that's going to happen whether the edgy kids want Reaper to stay as the edge mode villain 24/7 or not. They are going to make Gabe more human and reveal more of who he was before the Reaper phase.

>chinese dress
She's korean

you press P and leave chat

hahaha. Oh man, you are one delusional shipper user. Take a read of what you just wrote. Thanks for giving me a laugh.

That's true and she said she's not allowed to discuss it. But followed that up by telling me she hasn't heard anything.

She's really nice. Her D.Va voice is very close to her natural voice.

Anybody log enough time with Orisa to dispense advice?

I'mean putting in work but there's always something to learn

Get used to leading with her projectile gun. Otherwise even a Lucio can kill you 1v1

user, Blizzard is terrible at writing and also a normie company. They never write beyond surface level. What you see is what you get. If Reaper is edgy on the surface, edgy he will be.

If you think they will try to intentionally piss an audience off you definitely don't know blizzard. They didn't even have the balls to make Garrosh sympathetic despite trying and did a 180 on his characters because of how people hated him.

Play her agressive like D.Va without the jumpjets. Shield your team, not YOU. Shoot slower targets, and pull important DPS out of position. Pull that widow off the ledge, pull rein out of place, pull a flanker into a bad place forcing them to re-position.

When you reload your gun, look at your ammo count and genuinely ask "did I really need to reload then?". A lot of times people are reloading when they don't need to and should be shooting instead.

Sometimes use fortify to draw fire from the barrier so team mates can shoot from behind it.

>People nearly rioted when their waifu kissed a girl imagine if their self-insert fucked a man.

And yet no fucks were given. You're putting too much liberty into the idiotic fan base. They will just purge the forums like they did last time. Why would it ever effect how much money they make? Do you think making Tracer gay made them loose money? Give me a break and go back to /pol/ while you're at it.

This game is has them rolling in dosh and doing fuck all with the plot won't change that.

>Driving away a huge chunk of normies
Hahaha! Fuck man, where are you getting this insider information and numbers to back up these claims of normies chopping at the bit to burn down Blizzard if they make their edge man gay.

Where was the outcry when Reyes was in the Halloween comic strutting in like a runway model? Granted this might just be due to the art being shit but my point is still valid enough.

Making Tracer gay did not change her character or appeal. You straight up want another interpretation of Reaper that only exists in the cracks. Never going to happen.
