REMINDER THAT GENJI LOVES TO LICK MCCREES DIRTY BUNGHOLE CLEAN

The only reason lucio is used is speed. His heals are shit and are in a now tiny aura. Any other support that has an excuse to boost speed will supplant him just because of how much he has been nerfed over the course of time.

Hammond should toot a war horn for his ultimate and cause a massive speed buff for 10 seconds. Just a speed buff. Nothing else. Lucio will drop to zero usage.

>wallriding boost now fucks with lucio hitboxes
ah yes, the "supports gotta have shitty hitboxes" crusade that the game developers are undertaking

I will enjoy every single framefreeze widow snipe from here on out

amped heal is broken as fuck mate

You need consistent speed buffs to be viable. That ult is basically worthless

Amped heal is like 35 a sec for what, 5 seconds? It's good but not defining or anything.

swiss healslut and cyborg weeb

>Still no rankless comp mode

I doubt they can do anything about Lucio being picked all the time unless they purposely gut him or introduce a new hero that hard counters him in some way. His recent changes were supposed to reduce his necessity but you see how that turned out. He's two unique abilities wrapped into one hero so he's not going anywhere.

Explain me the rationale of keeping one's rank symbol even if you are not in that rank anymore.

It's called QP

>recent changes
>make him actually do damage and buff his heal
>somehow he's more picked than before

He gets a group vs. Mercy and Ana who can do one at a time. Ana less so because Jarate.

His burst healing isn't great but in terms of overall healing he does more. Ana is the best burst healer.

>comp
>rankless

So quick play?

Quickplay.

>What is Quickplay

>playing mccree
>2990
>hit constant headshots, one sided stomp
>enemy team crying that I hack
>win
>get silenced for 24h

Nice game

But that would quickly devolve into "it's just rankless bro XD"

I don't get it either

I wouldn't say it's worthless, it just needs a rare scenario to be used effectively. So, yeah, it's effectively worthless.
How would that work, exactly? Wouldn't that just be qp?

>2 secs of infinite range
>Tiny

There needs to be a dedicated speed boosting support that doesn't heal. My idea:
Arabian scientist support who utilizes Oasis's research into Ferrofluid
>M1: rapid fire slow-traveling ferro bullets that pulse in size along their trajectory
>M2: throw wave of fluid onto allies, eliminating stuns and debuffs like Ana's grenade. Short range, wide spread
>L-Shift: Fire a 3 meter wide line of ferrofluid that increases ally movement speed by 50% while in it and for up to 2 seconds after leaving the line
>E: coat an ally in ferrofluid that eliminates their cooldowns
>Passive: heals self while standing still
>Ult: Fluid fountain that covers LoS allies, increasing movement speed and halving cooldowns for allies in the area

>HotS has a private channel feature that lets large groups of players chat, form parties and play together
>OW doesn't
Why would they put Kaplan on OW when he doesn't know how to direct a multiplayer game?

Pretty sure he means a mode with comp rules but without the SR. Basically comp mode during off season.

You just described Quick Play.

>have latency over 1000 ms
>switch to Lucio
>win

The skill floor of this hero is literally just 'move to team'.

>Everyone moving 50% faster
>Not insane
>Implying you won't get beybladed at 70km/hr
>Implying roadhog won't fly into your backline and meatshot your supports
>Lucio speed boost wallriding would be flying anywhere he wanted to on the map for instant contesting
>Pharah being able to jihad ult anywhere she wanted too

Nah. 50% team wide speed boost is ultimate worthy. We need another speed hero.

Because you still get the rewards from that rank at the end of the season

t. shitter who dropped from gold to silver last season

So.. quick play.

Pharah is best Imouto

@179246268
You don't even get a (You) for that

I wanna FUCK Pharah

I've opened 77 boxes this event.

Without grade risk people will still play like retards "for fun" so yeah, quick play.

people who smoke inside should get neutered

I hope you got better luck than I did getting event content.

I hope Symmetra dies in an awful, painful grease fire. Slowly. Fuck her and her bullshit, and fuck Blizzard for allowing it.

QP is only 1 round for 2cp and payload and only has 3 rounds for KoTH
It's not exactly the same as comp.

Why on earth should we spread out the already thinly populated queues with a redundant game mode?
I

Any roadhog players not minding the PTR changes? I like the fact that he can't oneshot most heroes now, I like being able to hook someone into my team and gangbang them.

I haven't. I've gotten 5 skins, 6 if you count dupes. And none of them are my must-by skins so I'll still end up spending heaps of coins at the end.

Just your typical Mercy main's reaction when someone else locks mercy.

>teammates complain about my offensive Torbjörn
>get 44 torrent kills
>teammates compliment me
:^)

just kidding, I was trying to throw the game because I had a shitty sombra on my team and ended up dominating

>QP is only 1 round for 2cp and payload
It isn't. It'll swap sides if enough players stay

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuckin quickplay brooooooooooooooooooooo xdDd

soo fuckING FUN

I can already tell it's a smurf and they're gonna throw because they picked torb.

Why does anyone like playing that retard leash hero. Fucking Lucio is more involved and his gameplay revolves around being near people.

I want to be a better Lucio. I'm constantly hopping off walls, disrupting the enemy and trying to help the DPS focus down people with my gun. What more can I be doing? I'm usually one to use drop the beat somewhat quickly, but will save it if I know the enemies have ult. I've been watching other people play lucio and I'm swapping between health and speed quite often (not so often that both are just eh). These are my stats for this season but I just feel like I could do better

Got two skins, cyborg76 and mariachi dup from last box.
Looks like there's no point in grinding anymore.

>mercy mains
>they actually exist

Is there anything more pathetic than "maining" a character whose primary purpose is to hold M1 while aimlessly flying around with Lshift and hiding during the most important battles of the match so that they can get an OP af revive to the entire team?

What an embarrassment.

>picks Torb instead
Was it the classic throwing meme or

Mercy is basically the biggest shitter enabler in the game, they literally can't play anything else well enough.

For the lunar map to release next tuesday, it be real fuckin' neato if they give Winston this version of his suit, in recolor with a ramped up looking version of his gun as legendary

I dont ask for much Blizz

Torb and Widow.

>Torb will never be buffed
>Torb will never be good above giving the literal children in bronze a hard time
>Torb will forever be the throwing hero

Those who want to be carried by others.

Well he's actually good on Hollywood defense

>picks torb as if he's a throw character
>doesn't realize I took GM with torb only

MERCY MAINS SURE AS RETARDED

Because they're too shit to play Lucio

doing my placements shitfaced wish me luck

>Fucking animal
Heh

>Quickplay

I don't disagree, but the question was did the Mercy main pick him because the gun does most of the work for them or because it was an attempt to throw.

>99 shots, 1 kill

>pulling your crosshair away from their heads when you click

Why flick if you're already aiming at them, people are fucking retarded man..

>Mercy main
>being able to aim Torb's gun

That's basically what it looks like when I get Widow in Mystery Heroes

>the guy in quick play who complains about the team comp but isn't willing to switch off widowmaker to fix it

>guy goes Hanzo in Comp
>people take no issue, I even say he could work as long as he gets picks
>someone asks him to change later
>"I go only Hanzo this season"
>check his time, no time on anyone but Hanzo this season
>later we start losing hard, someone changes off Rein
>Hanzo player goes crazy about this, says its why we're losing, asks other team if Rein is important
>proceeds to shit on everyone elses hero picks
Why do these people exist? Just play the fucking game how it's intended. The entire point of Competitive is to not have this garbage and for everyone to actually try.

New to the game.
How am I supposed to know which game mode (Assault, Escort, Control) is it going to be before starting a new game, when selecting a hero?
All it says is "Attack" or "Defend".

The game mode is based on the map.

just ignore these people, they'll never get it anyway, move on, you'll never understand them!

>there are Mercy mains right now who haven't killed themselves yet

This is why snipers never drink coffee before a mission.

welcome to team games
you now realize this is just the evolution of when you were forced to do "group work" in school only now they're separated by miles of internet so you can't even threaten them physically.

Soldier and Ana combo

PVE OBJECTIVE MAPS WHEN

FIRST TEAM TO KILL THE MOST BOTS WINS

Mccree is best Onii-chan

Torb is a solid pick on defense IF you can actually aim his gun

Dont believe the memes

>Lucio
>Good main healer

Pick one.

>those old portraits
Looks p nice actually. Nice to not see dozens of stars everywhere.

welp, didn't mean to quote

youtube.com/watch?v=8FiVBqP-XPQ

holy shit

OK, I thought some maps could support several modes. Guess I need to learn them better.

...

no
reaper and ana combo

I bet all your Mercy main haters out there are going to feel awfully silly once a pro team runs a Mercy comp this season.

but why?

>play vs AI to see if double xp grind is true
It's not
>game ends and only one not gets a card
>gets one vote
>Zarya: I voted for myself
That's pretty cute.

He's good when your team is not acting like fucking idiots spread across the map.

2cp - volskaya, hanamura, anubis
escort - route66, gibraltar, dorado
hybrid - Hollywood, kings row, numbani,eichenwalde
control point - Lijiang Tower, illios, oasis, nepal

play whatever you want whenever you want 99,9% of playerbase doesn't even understand that comp/qp/arcade it doesn't matter what you pick.
