Fareeha

first for sombra butt

i forgot how stressful comp is

...

>damage done is now damage done to heroes on PTR
will this even matter in the long run

Not even close.

But man, what the fuck is wrong with the rating system.

I know your last season SR counts but to only get 77 points is a fucking joke.

A friend who I played with was 2607 at S4 and now ended with 2557

>off season
>get server booted and forced to relog
>get warned about penalty for leaving ranked match
>i was still in queue waiting when i was booted

???

How do I ignore the shit that makes me angry and just enjoy the game for the gameplay?

bro I was 2700, win 8 of 10 with some shit teams, get placed 2400.

just let me fucking start at 2500 and use those 8 wins to climb towards diamond.

Reaper can now let winston zap him for 4 consecutive seconds without doing anything and would still win the duel decisively

>doing everything to avoid adding a scoreboard

literally why?

So as someone who only does placements and fucks off after that for the competitive points payout at the end of the season, am I just going to keep getting placed lower and lower because Blizzard wants me to climb?

>Everyone hates your waifu

>Play Mercy
>Your team thinks you can just rez at any time you want and from any distance
>Play Lucio
>They think you have infinite healing range and 0 cool down on your abilities
>Play Zen
>They think the orb should be exclusively for their character
>Play Rein
>They sprint through your shield and die instead of stay behind you and shooting
>They bitch at you
>Play Ana
>Everyone rushes like a retard and die 1 by 1
>Dude use your boosts already!

This game makes my fucking blood boil

what do you think a player's like just by looking at who they main

Hammond happening or no?

>reaper counters winston
WOW

Yeah, Junkrats will never go "b-b-but I have gold damage" anymore.

Hammond is a chimp with a machine gun
He gets a skin that references Full Metal Jacket and a legendary Planet of the Apes skin
Screencap this. If I'm wrong I'll do nothing I'm just guessing here

>I think it’s unlikely that we’d revisit putting in a ranked scoreboard, though anything is possible. The main issue with a ranked scoreboard is there is so much you can do to help your team that is nearly impossible to measure, so it would never accurately reflect how useful you are to your team. For example, let’s say your team is tied up at a choke point and just can’t seem to get through. You decide to change to Tracer and get behind them. Standing on the point to pull the enemy back and making them chase you around could be the best way to open up the choke and let your team in, but it’s also extremely difficult to score something like that. Another simple example is how much score do you give Lucio for speed boosting the team? Sometimes hitting that amped-up speed boost can completely define a team fight but it would be very hard to accurately give score credit for something like that.

>symmetra
>ugliest balding man youve ever seen

game will prob go f2p in the future and they have guaranteed hired a psychologist for maximizing revenue.

It's simply player behavior

>cant see what you did wrong, dont get angry at the game and instead buy lootboxes and play more

>pick torb or symm
>set up turret
>find a hidey hole and go afk
>move and do shit when afk warning appears
>barely do anything
>get xp whter team wins or loses
Thank God for CTF.

Symmetra main is either a gay guy or an ugly autistic black girl. no inbetween.

Don't hate Orisa but she's pretty useless in comp.

it's called winrate

Time for some Bleu

decay is fucking stupid famalam I dont fucking like being forced to play when i dont want to

never to this degree before. you could dance around that bubble but now there is nothing a winston can do even with a team except prolong the reapers life

Finally got Grafitti Tracer!

With credits

I hate her legs. They're too humanlike and that's a turn-off

>first two matches lost

I'll just wait to see my therapist to get my adderall before I go in again.

At least I got the new sym skin.

NEW PATCH NOTES

>all of Hanzo's shots are now Scatter Arrows
>Scatter Arrow has been replaced Omni Arrow causing 72,000 Scatter Arrows to descend from the sky and blanket the entire map (the arrows are capable of penetrating buildings)

THANKS BLIZZARD

Good, as a Torbjorn main those shields trigger me. At least my buddy Reaper can drill holes into him.

Widow lemme smash

SIMPRU GEOMETRY

Did they really make Tracer's ass smaller?

>scatter arrows now infinitely bounce until they hit a target

Anyone played the new map much yet? I only got to look around while bots fisted each other. Where do you think the Defense side will usually defend from? it seemed really open.

>dragonstrike
>TEAM KILL is heard at least twice

>Genji main
>always a twelve year old kid who curses like a sailor in voice chat and unironically speaks in godawful memes

Patch Notes
>Reduced Tracer's associty. Only Mei and Widowmaker can have the badonk

what's the stupid covafee meme I keep seeing retards spam in chat?

>in QP nobody knows how to deal with symm+torb armor combo

Thats pretty funny

White supremacist code word. Anyone who says it is a racist.

stupid new trump meme that was a typo by him

>scatter arrows now infinitely bounce until the match ends
>sonic arrow now scans the entire map and reveals all hidden enemies
>dragon strike now warps around back to Hanzo

Post em boys. 3/10 wins

I quit during my 2nd placement and haven't played since

>Sonic Arrow now pierces the target's soul
>any player directly hit by a Sonic Arrow is revealed to the enemy team for the duration of the match
>swapping characters becomes impossible for afflicted players

Dva evolved specially for big white cock

explain

>people complaining that McCree needs buffs
>most McCrees I fight against can headshot three times in a row from maximum falloff range and kill me no matter who i'm using

>Hanzo main with 2 stars says he's a troll account
>Refuses to switch and flames our Mercy
>Gets defensive when asked why does a troll account has 2 stars and been playing comp since S3
>mfw
Avoid Yanamin

Amerilard president fell asleep while tweeting yesterday, and he said media covfefe, which is kinda funny.

You got carried.

Deadeye is kinda dumb now; 200hps die as soon as he's finished saying "it's hi-". I don't really understand how you're supposed to counter it anymore.

Even though she used to be a cute trappy boy before the HRT?

Operation covert double iron

>all of Hanzo's shots are now Scatter Arrows

I'd actually be okay with this

If someones going to play Honzo they should at least have the balls to admit they don't give a fuck. Noted.

>Be PTR Reaper
>Get hooked by Hog
>Win anyway

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

because he's not good against actual players

what would the flag for the horizon map be? a picture of the moon?

t. Handsoap main

Mei is the ultimate breeding cow for the white man

I heard some feminists freaked out and they made her ass smaller or something.

I was thinking it should be somewhat fast but target a single hero at a time, starting for the lowest HP heroes in sight, so you can use it to get a quick kill or let it charge to kill 6 heroes.

I've noticed plenty McCrees just get cucked as soon as they ult and barely if ever get dead eye kills.

You can only fall to 3k.

I finished 4200 last season and all my games had people without a brain other than my last placement game

>let it charge to kill 6 heroes
But by that time most targets would've hidden themselves or someone pounced on you.

Can someone explain to me why nearly everyone in gold is a huge fucking crybaby?

They don't feel like they belong there.

N-no... I just think it'd be good for the game to have more balanced heroes...

That's because most McCrees use it like shit.

>walk out of doorway slowly when they are pushing/defending
>Always when there's 3 guys on point because they want that sick multikill
>IT'S HIGH NOON
>get gunned down in a hail of fire as they're focused by the whole enemy team

>Carries
>Intentional throws
>Leavers

>hurr you just suck

Always the default response from you retards.

They watch to many streams and think they can mimic pro players and when things don't go their way they think its everyone else sucking because they are copying what the pros do

Gold is the hardest to get out of and hence all the emotions come out when anything remotely bad happens.

Well, yeah, you're supposed to let it charge when you have gravitron/earthshatter or a distraction, not many ults let you get an easy teamwipe.

I wish I was in gold

Gold is the lowest rank.
It's literally impossible to get to Bronze from gold.

big macho hairy white men impregnating Dva and Mercy.

I'm finding that i can hear team mates over game sounds when they talk. I have a Logitech G35 headset. Is there an option to reduce noise when voice chat is active? I have that option on in Windows, but it doesn't seem to work.

Why would it be balanced for one character to be able to instantly kill most of the roster with a single hit?

"I'm smart and everyone else is dumb". Anyone who uses this meme is confirmed autistic

And everyone who bitches and cries in QP is always gold. It never fails.

>game keeps losing focus at random
>can't figure out why
>turns out that vibrations from my speakers were somehow activating my drawing tablet and causing weird shit to happen

Fucking IT, man

>Pharah gets a quadra kill with her ult + Zarya ult
>potg is Symmetra getting a kill and an assist while she is placing her teleport.

There should be voice chat volume bar in audio settings.

REMINDER THAT GENJI LOVES TO LICK MCCREES DIRTY BUNGHOLE CLEAN

...

Should be that I can't hear team mates when they talk

Why are you hating on Widowmaker?

>Love how a character plays
>Hate them as a character

Fuck

A 100% and 50% kill is better than assisting on an ult and getting 4 30% on kills.

>get 7 direct rocket hits with Pharah in a row, resulting in 3 solo kills and 1 shared
>PotG is Lucio Booping 2 people and plinking at a rein

STOP
