What are the heroes you picking up in S5? Ana and Winston here
Gavin Howard
Pharah cause I don't like other people having fun
Tyler Mitchell
Widow, Ana, Zenyatta
Wyatt Adams
Reminder that R76 will not ruin the story whenever it's revealed. If anything, it will improve it but that comes down to personal opinion.
Chase Harris
Lucio for sure Roadhog if the nerf won't be as nerfy Zarya if the road nerf hits him too hard
Juan Bailey
>Officer D.Va and Oni Genji are now available in regular loot boxes.
Carson Butler
Reminder not to do your placements until the changes come out to avoid Roadhog mains.
John Taylor
Who else is ready to win 7 placements and be dumped back into silver after spending the entirety of last season climbing back to plat?
Camden Young
>roadhog mains
Not aiming for low bronze this season.
Ryder Murphy
nth for Widowmaker
Matthew Watson
They said this in the beginning.
Easton Martinez
I've always flexed between Pharah, Hog, D. Va, and Zenyatta.
7 decides who I replace Hog with.
Jaxson Richardson
>tfw mccree with dead eye ready now forces pharmercy to just scaredly peak around rooftops and corners instead of flying in middle of the sky without a care in the world based, the worst part about pharmercy is enabling all these faggot mercy mains
fuck i hate mercy
Daniel White
...
Sebastian Turner
>50th percentile is somewhere in high gold >top 10% are diamond and above >this means 40% of the comp playerbase are crammed into a 500 SR space in plat
That can't be good for people
Sebastian Kelly
>1v1 is impossible on attack >unless I'm on the defending team, in which case they always win Why am I not allowed to have fun?
Jayden Hill
Blame console peasants, they didn't had access to hots.
James Cook
Alright so reapers survivability is much better in the ptr, that's nice. Hog is severely broken now though. He can just spam m2 like a machine gun. His hook combo is a bit weaker though which is nice. The new map is too big Imo. Seems like widow will be very strong here. Didn't get a chance to try mcree yet but the enemy mcree got an ult triple before I saw where he was so the change seems to have worked
Lucas Reyes
Torb
Mason Rivera
its just elo hell holding them back :^)
Benjamin Watson
we know, you bitch multiple times every thread, autist
Matthew Reed
>this roadhog """nerf""" I'm giggling like a fucking schoolgirl over here. this firerate is silly as fuck >2 shots of 150 in the same amount of time as 1 shot of 225
Caleb Ramirez
Sombra
Owen James
>tfw noon destroys Pharmercy now I can't fucking WAIT to meme these fags in quickplay
Gabriel Gutierrez
And the reduced head hitbox so you can't even crit him as easily while he spams you at double speed.
Only retards think this is a nerf.
Ethan Miller
>play Sombra to best of my ability >hurr you're throwing >Play S76 really badly >no one notices Hmmm
Chase Jenkins
Just tried Reaper out a bit off PTR to think about the changes. I'm 100% sure he will still be literally unplayable. His change only helps him at the stuff he's already sort of decent at (actually killing people) but he still has no way to flank anyone or to fight without getting the drop on the two heroes in the game that don't have escapes.
Carter Peterson
first post i've made about mercy today, i just got home a hour ago
mercy is quite widely hated hero so it's not surprising other people might make similar posts
Camden Lopez
It's almost like a bad Soldier does more than a half-decent Sombra.
Jose Baker
Reminder that it's taken Blizzard over one year and one billion dollars to make three fucking maps.
Justin Ramirez
Blame Leddit for dubbing her a retard magnet.
Aaron Wilson
I want to start playing 76 in comp, but Reaper changes seem pretty attractive. If not, I'll stick to Ana and Zenyatta.
Nolan Rivera
>not being able to destroy them now
Henry Butler
But we did? We could do the challenge and connect our account to PSN/XBL. Only third world countries that don't have a functional computer can't run HOTS
Brandon Ortiz
These Roadhog changes seem pretty confused, but I'll be happy to not get my ass oneshot anymore.
How long before the QM tank shitters fuck off to D. Va?
Juan Murphy
Tracer, Zarya, Ana.
Sebastian Moore
>Mercycuck >Silver Nothing surprising here
Samuel Robinson
What's the best Sombra skin?
Charles Cook
the most viable way of shutting down pharmercy is dva but she doesn't outright destroy them, she just makes the pharah ineffective and that doesn't feel as satisfying
i want them both to fall dead from the sky
Colton Miller
She is though
t. someone who has three little sisters who all play terribly but all love sombra and play her exclusively because of her design
Evan Sullivan
Normal
Bentley Gray
Near end of S4 I noticed I'm a really good mcree so I'll pick him up, but sticking to Ana if I feel like I'm not doing much
Ian Collins
I said I can't wait to MEME them. They were already my favorite two heroes to shit on, aside from other McCree's.
I have enough fun with McCree already but this sanic noon is just fucking fantastic news
Liam Gray
>Oni Genji and Officer D.Va have been added to classic loot boxes
jesus is the blizzard moba really that unpopular that nobody even bothered to install it to play a few games?
Xavier Gutierrez
I only just bought this game and I'm grinding QP/vs. AI so I can play competitive. Is Silver really considered this low? Everything I hear about this game people make it sound like even in Gold you're surrounded by total retards and I don't understand how that can be since you have to get to level 25 just to play seriously.
Kayden Cook
Noche. Also the legendary where it turns her hair blue.
Angel Anderson
the legendary with yellowish green face paint
Jose Perez
Augmented.
Ryder Murphy
gold is low-average and plat is mid/high average
silver is below average and diamond is just barely above average
Kevin Howard
As someone who plays both, all the Overthrowers did was throw and bitch all the way that they had to play this 5 times a week and make Quickplay unbearable.
Julian Peterson
>Reaper lifesteal and lower Hog dmg >I can actually scare roadhog now and shit roadhogs can't dunk on me for free anymore
That really updates my blog.
Luke Wilson
Mercy mains?
Hunter Rogers
15 MINUTES LEFT
Joseph Watson
DON'T DO PLACEMENTS IMMEDIATELY
Owen Ortiz
They said they'd do that a while ago for consolefags who couldn't get it.
Robert Young
When people saltpick/are emotional they tend to play worse. I ain't scared of le tricky hook man.
Connor Fisher
Roadhog now has the same rate of fire you do.
Jason Reyes
Why though?
Colton Perry
We still have to pay 1000 creds or rely on RNG
Ethan Gonzalez
I only played hots for the event and hated people with that mentality. If i'm going to play a game at least i'll try to have fun.
Blizzard should've just deleted the skin of those that threw matches.
Leo Howard
Is it safe to go to the PTR or is there still Memory Leak issues?
Matthew Lewis
But roadhogs are trash and can't aim because the class played the game for them. Hogs who whiff the magnet hook are worthless 80% of the time even in masters. 1 in a million can actually distance himself for the right click one shot.
Alexander Thomas
Fuck I'm so tired of Genji. Every game it's the same. Dashing back and forth and all I do is making sure he isn't killing everyone. Should call this shit game Genjiwatch.
Hudson Stewart
Gold is supposed to be average so if you can't climb there I have bad news for you user
Nolan Peterson
I just bought the game user. I don't even have a metal or whatever yet. I just expected that since gold is usually good, that it was better than average.
Christopher Johnson
>Playing comp after a balance patch
It's like you want to be paired with shitters thinking reaper is good again and roadhogs who still think he's good and lose
I'll do mine now in a patch when people know what to play
Elijah Gomez
Will doing placements with buddies affect my gains?
Ethan Long
doomfist
Caleb Clark
Reaper does have the upper hand now. As he should.
Gabriel Sullivan
D.Va, Reaps and Lucio
Christian Collins
Ranks are named the way they are to make even the biggest shitters feel good about themselves.
Kevin James
I think the issue is still there.
Wait 3 days i guess?
Isaac Edwards
>thinking placements matter at all
You'll be placed ~100 sr lower than the SR you finished regardless of wins or victories.
Lucas Campbell
No worries. You can climb low elo ranks just by having good positioning; aim optional but it helps. Map awareness for that comes with practice.
Cooper Flores

Logan Thomas
Can someone explain to me why the roadhog nerf are such shit? sure I got why the hook got people upset because it hit targets that it should not hit. but it still does that only now it obnoxiously cuts off the hook's rope for no reason other than "hurr durr hog op how do I avoid hook?" If the nerfs had made it harder to land the actual HOOK part of the hook ability I would say that's a necessary fix. But now you land a hook that totally legit lodged a metal fucking hook into someone's body and for some reason your rope snaps when pulling them in because the center point their body was blocked by a speck of dust for a split second. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Also what is it with the new placement of hook targets after hooking them? Original hook had different distances which made no sense but you could work with it and it increased the skill ceiling of the character if you had to learn each target's future position after landing the hook. Then hook 2.0 came around and changed all characters to what originally only the closest characters got. Glorious easy kills and it made for a nice compensation for the breaking rope. But now the targets got placed further away again to make instakills harder but they still happen only now you also have targets awkwardly land on your head when hooking from a height difference. Blizzard please understand that the hook ability consists of a hook (projectile weapon) and a rope that is being pulled and has no reason to break off in front of the smallest cover. Fix Roadhog again!
Zachary Thomas
If Mercy is Chu's waifu why does he have a giant poster of Symmetra in his officer instead? Is he cheating on his bae?
Ethan Bailey
I crashed twice within 10 minutes, not sure if it was due to a memory leak but it definitely isn't stable.
Lincoln Reed
duoQ is the most effective when it comes to SR gains normally but I do not think it will effect placements all that much
Chase Campbell
But what happens when those shitters have to play a game where you actually have to be good to be gold?
Carson Smith
You'll get a better and more fun experience for everybody involved
Adam Turner
Are they cute? Do they ever give you a cheeky blowjob while you're trying to focus on comp?
Brandon Diaz
It's because you were memed on. Mercy's Genji's waifu, but people think Chu self-inserts into Genji when he does it for Winston and Mei.
Aaron Peterson
They cry and come back to OW.
Logan Rogers
Then why wait for roadhog changes if you're so sure about it
I'd rather skip a couple of games winning my placements than spending them climbing regularly
Sebastian Moore
3 minutes until new season get hype bois
Brandon Adams
The hook breaking was to avoid situations where it would drag you behind corners. The problem is that the hook stun isn't instant and you carry momentum post hooking which means hooked targets can still finish their jump around corners.
The hook should yank you back immediately which would have avoided even needing to have a rope breaking mechanic. It's dumb.
Dylan Allen
people seemed to have a brain and there were no griefers around 2750
Elijah Jones
Any changes for S5 then?
Nolan Baker
nah it's fine pulling people from behind cover that's my whole point if the metal hook is lodged into a person, why would the rope cut off from behind cover? Original hook actually got this right with pulling enemies along the cover wall although it had a totally busted hitbox on the hook itself which I do not mean to defend, that was the only part that should have been changed along with the placement distance of hooked enemies
Jaxon Young
At least now it tells you exactly how many days are left until the season ends.
Parker Russell
Best girl.
William Lewis
So what does /owg/ think about the new map? How does Horizon compare to other 2CP maps?
