/owg/ - Overwatch General

Nah, anti-static wrisbands are a meme. Unless you're walking on thick carpet or something.

>trying to attack someone on the point
>giant indicator blocking my view
Fix when?

>DON'T YOU COME THE RAW PRAWN WITH ME

what the fuck does this mean

Not sure why you're asking this in /owg/ but
this.

I think it's Aussie for "Don't bullshit me."

How to fix Genji;

>Remove shurikens, new basic attack is a quick slash with his wakizashi
>Increased movement speed to compensate for the loss of ranged attacks

Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes!

>From the traditional Australian expression: "Don't come the raw prawn!" or "Don't come the raw prawn with me!", meaning: "Don't try to put one over me!" or "Don't treat me like a fool!".

>Particularly used to indicate that the listener is aware of the speaker's ingenuousness, for example where the person to whom it's directed feigns innocence or naivety. Some sources say it is a WWII Australian Army expression. As to why it arose: one suggestion is that the reason lies in cooked prawn being more palatable than raw prawn. However, anyone from a fishing background who has handled raw prawn flesh, will know that it is limp, wet and slippery; like the sort of people at whom this phrase is directed.

why does he need to be fixed

Don't start pulling old cows from the ditch.

It's another "Australian" saying that most Australians go their entire lives without ever hearing in every day use.

Sort of suits Junk though, since he's so aggressively Australian.

>Why I'll never be a game designer: the post
At least you're not Anthony Burch.

Right?

Abogado las luches

Anything would be better than the little shit he is now, including that idea.

There's a limit to how much of a faggot a character can be, even if they are balanced.

t. /r/MercyMains

Avagadros Con LowRes!

I'm betting that a whole new spectator client will come out with the official launch of the OWL.

What do you think will be in it?

Is there any better feeling than killing some tryhard Genji main with Symmetra and as he realizes he's about to die, using a desperation deflection and remembering it won't help against her?

More like anyone who doesn't want to deal with a zip-zapping gook who brings nothing but frustration into the game.

I bet you are pro-mesmer too, you animal.

source?

Yes, I occasionally use my Silver smurf, too.

Is older slang any less uncommon in the Outback? If it was a more rural thing nowadays it'd make sense.

>not 'have a scandal of you face'

She sure will be...

>being this much of a shitter

doing the same with winston, except the genji tries to dash too
of course this is futile as you promptly jump on him and dominate him with your gorilla cock

I just played Reinhardt for the first time in months and I really get no satisfaction playing Reinhardt because tanks are so OP compared to offense and defense heroes. It's sad. There is no joy in playing a hero who is blatantly better than all of the dps heroes.

>dps heroes deal chip damage to your shield
>you outright beat them at close range by left-clicking them down or charge pinning them
>ult just guarantees kills

There is no intensity. It'd be like if Reinhardt were a 7th grader who decided to play football against 2nd graders. The 2nd graders would try to tackle him and he'd just laugh as he walked forward unable to be pulled down. I guess some people really get a kick out of that, but it's just lame. It's too easy. Offense and defense heroes desperately need buffs

Yes. It's especially delicious when they get super salty and bitch in chat about you playing a "no skill hero"

Tell me what is Genji's unique role that can't be filled by other offense heroes.

Oh, what's that? Being an insufferable cunt? Well, you got that right.

Yes, kill a tryhard genji as mercy and then witness how he use his ultimate as last resort just to get killed in that same second,
>mfw he just wasted an ulti without killing no one
>mfw he filled most of my ultimate in the process

Reinhardt is literally the most balanced character in the game

And by balanced I mean all other heroes are balanced around him because he's Blizzard's little pauldron baby

Well, I've never lived in a city but I don't live in what anybody would consider the outback either, but I'd say you're definitely more likely to hear "drongo" or other outdated terms used unironically the more rural you get.

I've literally never heard the raw prawn thing before though, even in media. I wonder how Blizzard do their research.

His ass. Some idiot on Reddit already datamined the amount of new event unlocks each hero is getting. We also know that Sym, Hanzo and Zarya are confirmed to be getting skins very soon.

ohnickel covers it, and breaks down how the datamining works, in a video.

>watching a scam artist

?

tracer fills the insufferable cunt role too

>Yes, kill a tryhard genji as mercy
There's no greater feeling when playing as Mercy than killing the faggot Genji/Tracer/Sombra/etc that's been harassing you all game.

Killing Symmetras who thinks they'll get an easy kill on a Genji until she realizes that he's literally out of her reach so they start jumping in a sad attempt to reach you.

There was one time I did deflect when Symmetra was microwaving me but her team was also shooting at me, so they pretty much killed her for me.

post the 3 most balanced heroes in order
1.most balanced/ 2. well balanced/ 3. balanced

>Reinhardt
>Zarya/Winston
>Sombra
tfw tanks are the most balanced class

>getting baited by some basement NEET gremlin who wanted pizza money

And Tracer is in need of getting her kit scrapped too. What's your point?

>POR QUE NO LOS DOS-ES

sombra is fucking garbage and a completely wasted pick

believe me i tried, i really enjoy her but she has no place in the meta and no matter how good ur plays are ur team might as well be playing 4.5 vs 6

You posted the wrong pic. That's not Pharah.

Tracer fills that role too. So what was it, did Genji kill you when you were Soldier, Reaper, McCree, or Pharah?

indeed

>this hero kills me and therefore needs to be nerfed!
Never change owg

Interesting. So either Blizzard really wants to emphasize the Outback part, or they write Junkrat's lines by googling Australian slang and just rolling with whatever they happen to find.

>implying ohnickle isnt a basement NEET gremlin who wants your ad money for pizza and to scam you out of gift cards

t. gold

I kill genjies easily and I think he should be removed from the game.

I think you need to be removed from the game
inb4:t.Genji main

He didn't post Pharah because she isn't best girl. He got that right at least.

>or they write Junkrat's lines by googling Australian slang and just rolling with whatever they happen to find
That would certainly explain his "cobber" line, which I'm fairly sure is a British thing. (Although I just checked and google tells me it's Australian so who knows.)

I think he's such a caricature, and the accent is actually fairly solid, that the fact that he uses obscure or inaccurate terms still works. He's an intentional stereotype, at least that's how I view him.

i can't kill genjis and i don't think he should be removed from the game

>Playing as Mei
>Get in front on D.Va spamming M1
>She activates Defense Matrix
>Genji tries an approach
>Genji tries to deflect my beam

Did I shock them emotionally enough?

He's terribly unbalanced.

I understand what Blizzard is going for, I've played characters similar to Reinhardt in other games, they just did Reinhardt really poorly.

For the piss poor amounts of damage that dps heroes do, 2000 shield is way too goddamn much. It makes his gameplay very passive and there is no threat of being broken down. That feels a lot of adrenaline you could be getting.

Solution to this. Make the shield 1000hp, BUT if multiple targets are firing at your shield, secondary hits to the shield deal reduced damage to it so that he can still block great amounts of damage, but in 1v1 skirmishes you aren't completely unkillable standing behind a 2000hp shield. Then, also, make the shield regen faster so you're more active with that 1000hp shield.

It's funny. The TF2 Heavy's kit is way more basic than Reinhardt, but Heavy is a far more intense "raid boss" type character to play than him. It's exciting because you gotta know when to pop out and shoot at people. You aren't just completely invincible.

t. Mercy main

He should have posted Pharah since that's best girl. He got that wrong from the get-go.

>inb4 t. Genji main

You said it, not I

oh wow im so sorry

u must be below 2500 sr because its the only place picking sombra would actually work

after all everyone playing at and below that sr ranking is legally retarded

If they were together he was trying to stop you from shooting the ice dildo.

Do I need to buy a SSD alongside a hard drive when building a PC for the first time?

I try really fucking hard to get good at aiming and then my teams just lose.

masteroverwatch.com/profile/pc/us/Joshua-1859

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to distract myself from depression but the game's just making me more depressed.

Oh I know, but what I mean is Blizzard uses Reinhardt, a terribly unbalanced character, as the measuring stick for everyone else. It's why Sombra does fuck all for damage and Orisa is getting her gun nerfed, because they would make Reinhardt harder to play otherwise, and in Blizzard's eyes this is unacceptable

They weren't
Those were separate cutscenes

Genjibae will never save WaifuMercy from me

It's too early to be lewd, Amélie.

Lmfao Sombra is literally meta at masters+, kys.

You should get an SSD for your OS to be installed on. Makes booting up fast as fuck.

76 should get a Punisher skin so that he and Reaper can rock that partner-look

>GOLD SHITTER

LMFAO NIGGER

ya see

SSDs are a luxury, if you are limited by money, better put that money into a bigger GPU.

So just install the OS onto the SSD and everything else (games, videos, images, etc.) on the HD?

>not using ublock origin

Yeah, he's definitely a stereotype, albeit in the playful Street Fighter sense. I think his VA does a pretty great job of making it sound... maybe not "natural," exactly, but it suits him well.

Yes, but the only thing it'll do is make the OS load faster, that's it.
If you move a lot of files constantly in an SSD, you will make it run out of writes, which means you won't be able to move or delete any file in it.
As I said, an optional luxury, completely unnecesary.

I mean, apparently I tried harder than you. You're probably one of those people who thinks she can't kill a Mercy by herself.

aim is just something you have to practice a lot.

with teams because of the matchmaking system you will get streaks of bad luck and of good luck you just have to grind it out and not tilt

holy fucking shit there's a city outside temple of anubis

Would the lore of this game have been significantly better is Chris Metzen was still the lead writer?

I haven't played any previous games he has written on or anything, so I'm not aware of any examples of good or bad work that he has done.

Was the lore more well rounded when Chu wasn't the lead writer?

>Genjibae will never save WaifuMercy from me
>implying

Never~

I'm glad Blizzard ignores /owg/'s balance suggestions; you'd remove all fun characters from the game just because you can't deal with them.

It depends on the size of the SSD. If you have room on it after the OS is installed, you will want to install the games you most play on it too.

SSD's have vastly improved read speeds in comparison to regular hard drives, which means most things ran from an SSD will load faster.

...

It sounds pretty natural to me. Obviously, it doesn't sound like anybody I hear on a day-to-day basis because it's so thick, but for what the VA/Blizzard is aiming for it's solid.

I've heard worse Australian accents from Australian actors, to be honest.

If Metzen was in charge it'd be Soldier:76: The Game: The Experience: The Saga.
