How do I use lucio's wallriding effectively?

Yeah man. Good thread.

>tfw we'll never get another shitty arg that lasts several months too long

by turning backwards wall riding on

Watch some DSPStanky, and also lots of practice

Sombra is best girl.

Just for the wall riding. If you plan to play like him, well, that kind of gimps a bit of what Lucio's for.

Posting these for people who didn't get to see them yesterday

>What's that? You want a skill that starts up instantly, covers a 180 degree radius in front of the user, extends 30 feet forward, instantly eats anything and everything save 3 M1 attacks, and recharges quickly? Say no more my dude.

I would let sombra take me home from that bar Jesse was sleeping in. Even if it were to cuddle and she showed me he hacking skills.

>DSPStanky
no

>forgetting your pic like a r word

Yes because Jack can also ghost around too. Makes sense

Right, he's able to get away with speed boost most of the time because games at his level always have dank Anas. The wallriding paths he likes to take back to the point in KOTH are worth knowing imo

Are you ready for Doomfist?

I'm ready for anything to happen with him so I can stop seeing all the leaks that claim to know about him.

>genji

fan removed

deflect cannot be ended manually

dash damage reduced to 0

So is it all but guaranteed that we're getting an anniversary event at the end of May?

I'm ready for the fisting porn with widowmaker

Tracer!

How the fuck has Blizzard managed to make a game, and then update the tick rate to 60 whateverfucks; and still have it feel like I'm playing at 2-4x the ping showing in the match.

40ms feels like 120ms from any other shooter, and 80ms gets borderline unplayable.

Where do I scrubscribe for more??

So I've been watching a few videos by this homo

youtube.com/watch?v=nZPr5s_5Jq8

It seems like if you play her to her kit and use the ambush/recall to health pack she is quite powerful. Do people hate her because he is only getting by with a powerful coordinated group carrying him or can Sombra actually hold her own in pub matches?

why is the matchmaker so broken in a finished game
>get in literal 5v6 game without a 6th and lose 25 points because "average is higher"
>get in game with 3 diamonds in a stack in gold

why can't they give a single fair game?

>play first ranked game of day
>loose
every time, I can tell this night is going to go well...

how do I pla genji good?

haven't played since his first nerfs a year ago or whatever..apparently he has no combo now..

whats the playstyle/new combo that's pros use?

Not so much in pubs, because she'd need the five random morons to see that she's hacked medpacks and be around for when she hacks a tank or healer and follow up on it. Not to mention that using her EMP is a crapshoot because pubs rarely take advantage of it.

>cop AU

FUCKIN HNNNNNNG

Yes, she's only situationally useful if the opposing team is going full barrier mode of Rein, dva, symmetra, and others you don't want their abilities used to stop a push. Other than that, she's at best a budget tracer for annoying the backline.

>everyone is genetically the same

Should installing Overwatch use 99% of my CPU?

how loose?

>crying about D.Va
how's bronze, my dude?

I played for a few months after it came out and left for a year or so. I usually played Reaper and got POTG almost every single match and 4-5 kills every life. Now it seems like I do piss damage. Did reaper get nerfed or something?

So Jack and Gabe go through the same program and you think Gabe somehow received different treatment. It says what the soldier enhancement did to them. It was controversial but not well hidden.

>Friday night
Why do you do this to yourself?

Boy I love how Tanks still dominate this game.

>Reaper can get caught in Junkrat's trap
>Reaper can wraithform
>He is still stuck in the trap even though he is wraithform

This doesn't make sense

>loose

you must be bronze

>Jack and Gabriel are genetically the same and there's no way differences in what they can do will manifest themselves because each person is not different

Neither does Zen triggering it when he fucking floats

>Genji
>"hard"

all you do is spam deflect and dash, double jump over people and spam fan which instagibs.

no aiming,
no skill,
only requirement is the ability to turn around fast

one of the easiest characters in the game due to how powerful he is, reaper is actually harder since he fucking blows, his ult is easily countered, limited range and shit tools, plus he has to aim, yet is considered easy.

Legitimately lowering his health to 150 is a great way to balance him. He has the best mobility in the game, the best defensive abilities in the game, huge dps, and one of the strongest ultimates in the game.

the trap actually jumps up to get him.

how do I pla genji good?

haven't played since his first nerfs a year ago or whatever..apparently he has no combo now..

whats the playstyle/new combo that's pros use?

please respond

It's one of the many "fuck the lore for a second because it would fuck things up for game balancing" moments. There are many in the game but you have to just get over them.

It's essentially a beartrap. Fuck you, it makes no sense

>all of these characters that spent so much time of their lives developing unique skills and abilities thinking they'll make a change in the world only to be BTFO by a fat cunt that found a hook in the trash
I wish the game was canon

Reaper is easy to shut down.

>"oh, you look tired"

When do you tell your friend that him practicing McCree results in a 5v6 game, even in goofy shit like QP?

Lost 8 out of 9 games queuing with him today, and didn't have the heart to tell him to just go play against Ana bots or some shit.

You realize your argument is "everything is cut and dry" and now you're trying to convince me that one of the only cut and dry pieces of backstory we have on them is somehow open for interpretation.

Why though? I used to slaughter reins and roadhogs

play like you're a fucking anime ninja. But really. Haul ass around in the enemy back line climbing shit and jumping around like a giant faggot constantly so you're impossible to hit while throwing shurikens. Noob genjis play like they're soldier just trying to poke damage. You need to be as annoying as possible all over the place so you build ult charge fast since thats the main way you want to engage for real. Only use the dash when you have a escape route in mind and don't panic cast your parry like a retard turning around and staring at the roadhog that's going to hook you 2 seconds later. I don't play genji much but its very easy to tell a bad one from a good one.

it's a motion activated trap that jumps up to it's target

How's life in gold?

>le bitchout

3300~

genji is cancer
roadhog is cancer
ana is cancer

fuck off and die

ok leafy

>Game hasn't been out a year
>Left for a year

Are you telling me you're so retarded that you think genetic modifications won't affect people differently because people are inherently different? It's still cut and dry.

Can we ban Quebec from playing in NA?
sick of getting matched with those fags and having them talking french in an english voice chat.
Then they whine about people not playing right
YOUR FUCKING CALLOUTS ARE IN A LANGUAGE I DON'T SPEAK, SPEAK THE ONE I DO

Is D.Va actually evil? With how she's so cheerful when her enemies and teammates die?

>hurr durr anything I don't like is cancer!
Alright dude, just let it all out about your main getting countered.

Yes because it says specifically what those enhancements did to soldiers in the program.

>genji
>huge dps
Genji has the most inconsistent damage out of any Offense hero, outside of Sombra.

Only thing stupid about him is Reflect's hitbox - it should only be the size of genji instead of his sides. It's also difficult to tell what angle he's reflecting from - shooting from his immediate left or right side is 50/50.

>it makes no sense

Yet there's a talking gorilla who built a tesla cannon, an autistic punjab that can create things out of light, a guy who can heal people with music, and two people that can create dragons with their weapons. But you're worried about a bear trap.

>Give Sombra 225-250 HP

Is she fixed?

Is Hanzo the hero with the highest skill ceiling? In theory if there was a player who could always land Hanzo arrows 60% body shots, 40% head shots, would that person be at the apex in terms of skill?

How do I get better at Hanzo btw? I want to be better than wraxu and ironaids

Appear offline, turn notifications off or just play when he's not around and blame it on your schedules. Avoid the confrontation like a true socially awkward autist! :^)

Why does everyone immediately leave after each match

>people trying to give tips when you're clearly just fucking around in quickplay

>game is three weeks short of being a year old
>he's actually surprised when people exaggerate it's age

To anyone who wrote this yesterday, you really made me sad with this.
What's the best way to get placed at plat for this season since i still have to do my placement matches?
What kind of heroes should i use?
My placements were S1-55;57 (mained lucio), S2-2196 (Mained lucio and zen, it was horrible), S3-2516 (mained Rein mostly, but also played roadhog\, lucio and ana).
I dont fucking play comp, i just want my ez comp points, i'm very close to get my first ever and only golden gun after 4 seasons of painful placements and i dont really want to get rated high gold just to grind my way up to plat fucking again.
Any suggestions?
My mains are McCree, Rein, Zen and Ana.
Soloqueuer, of course, i have no friends.
Any helpful tips?

O.O no i cant wait

If you want to make Sombra overpowered, just make her hack apply to passive abilities as well, and have the EMP interrupt all ongoing abilities such as Dragonblade and Tactical Visor.

I see nothing wrong with any of those things, I definitely see something wrong with a robot monk who floats getting caught in a beartrap though

I'm a complete retard and i forgot the image, gg.

Watch the animation. It jumps to get people who are around it.

That's like if I told you penicillin would only cure your bacterial problems and never considered allergic reactions a number of people have to it but still gave it to them anyway. I know you're not this daft, as much as you like projecting onto me as the underage b& here.

>overtime on round 3
>we're winning bigly
>mei is the only one on the enemy team still alive
>does her ice block thing to stall overtime
>all six of us surround her
>"i am going to have to science the heck out of this!"
>she dies as soon as she pops out and we win

I want her balanced not overpowered.

Do you know how bear traps work?

youtube.com/watch?v=ojR-nDb1zCE

All bear traps jump up when they're triggered.

As another user stated, it's obviously triggered by motion rather than pressure.

Just play Lucio or Reinhardt and you'll be good to go

>"i am going to have to science the heck out of this!" while surrounded
This sounds strangely lewd and hilarious.

This video shows some effective wallriding use
youtube.com/watch?v=kxnHiFZfLfk
The key to lucio is to know when your team doesn't need you, and when it does. Lucio is amazing and chasing down and executing weak opponents, but you don't want to do this at a time when your people need healing. It's all about reading the match, having good gamesense, etc.

Also, on maps with death pits, don't "go for" boops, wait for the boops to come to you. If you start trying to make boops happen the enemy team will see you, walk away from the ledge, and you'll get fucked and your team will be fighting 5v6. Boops happen when you're in the middle of a fight and you just happen to see that an enemy is close enough to a ledge. You can't create the opportunities but they will happen and it's up to you to have soundwave ready to go for those situations.

>people who aren't clever enough to be good with Sombra

If you were 2500 last season, you're likely to be placed at 2400. Even winning all 10 placement games gives you low odds of being placed 2500+.

I actually like Reflect's hitbox. Makes it easier to help your team mates by shielding them for a couple of seconds.

could break her
>ever fight a sombra on a health pack
>give her more health.

76 is buffed.. a lot. So you can't go in and do your thing! If you landed most of your shots with reaper at very close range play hog! he has more HP to help him get to the effective range.

I don't give a fuck, keep that dirty Aussie urchin and his toys away from based Zen

Sleep tight /owg/

you ever feel like being persecuted makes sombra all the more enjoyable?

I recognize that bulge.

Fuck Zenyatta

>inconsistent

you fan at point blank range. you can't miss and deal shit tons of damage and shred tanks.

>countered

tell me, fucktard, what characters DONT those 3 counter? They are universally good against all characters.

Everything you just said is utterly irrelevant. Completely. We're talking about a fictional world with fictional medicine. It's a story. Stories have build up, foreshadowing, and leads that can be used predict where it's headed.
You are making the assumption Reyes was turned into Reaper by the enhancement program. However, we know what the program did. We know Jack was in it. And we know it wasn't covered up, hence the controversy regarding it.

Yet despite this, you think Reyes is a "special" case. Let me remind you of your initial argument:

"The lore is cut and dry. If Reyes is Reaper now and Reaper has been around for decades that means Reyes has been Reaper for decades"

Now you're saying:

"The information about the soldier enhancement program is not cut and dry. There is room for interpretation. Because genetics are unpredictable"

Do you see why you sound like an idiot now?

>this is saying what I want!
>b-but not this thing, this thing is wrong!

>you will never put your hand on Junkrat's tits

>he doesn't know how to counter genji and roadhog

IT HURTS
