1st for tracers not a lesbian

There is no word in the English language that can adequately describe the intensity of my love for Tracer.

Here comes T.Racer

>another Reaper main
>battletag is ShadowOfGod

Are they kidding around, or is this guy really mained by edgelords?

>Reaper
>Being mained
>being picked at all

slightly better edit of that image w/ d.va

Does Tracer have iframes on her Blink, or is it just a straight-up teleport? I'm trying to see if I can dodge stuff like Self-Destruct without blowing a Recall or running to hide.

She's a lesbian, she's incapable of loving you.

tracer wears crocs

The rockets look neat with this skin

How you pleaded your allegiance to our Galactic Thigh Queen yet?

Hints:

Orisa is a WW1 hero. She trenches in and advances through chokes, and deals significant damage to barriers and heroes who sit in her LoS.

Orisa does significant damage, consist aiming DESTROYS. You will never hit an ADADing player by shooting in the same spot, its fucking weird.

Shoot the shield foward, tunnel, if there is a lapse, fortify, advance, shield.

Use your orb constantly, always aim like 10 feet above who you are shooting at, it causes them to fall in place and is easy picks.

Don't be afraid to just ult, shield it, then walk out and blast ass, then fortify if need be on points when you need to contest.

Orisa is best used as a far away tank, ironically as an anchor tank, learn how to aim your shield. Not sniper far. There should always be another tank or dps in front of you to maintain the barrier.

she's also not real

How do I climb if there's always that 1 dps on your team that instantly dies due to trickling/refusing to switch, thus making every engagement a 5 v 6... Git gud?

She can be real in his heart, but she'll still be a lesbian and won't love him.

>people in this general complaining about Mercy

Blink is equivalent to moving very fast in a straight line. You can get shot while blinking technically although unlikely. D.va bomb would kill you every time.

However, recall makes you invincible and you can dodge a D.va bomb with it if timed correctly.

They really need to add invincability to blink though. I don't know how they did the netcode for this shit, but I swear it considers Tracer in all positions at once so you can get shot at your previous and next location at the same time.

...

>The least difficult hero in the game has the most powerful, fastest charging Q in the game

>being incapable of winning 5vs6 fights
Call me when your entire fucking team is dead weight.
I'd unironically prefer to 1vs6 instead of having shitty teammates, enemies wouldn't be able to build ults so fucking fast.

Goddammit make Reaper's teleporting silent. Its so dumb that I can't take 76 off the high ground because he can easily hear me coming to do it

Canon by this year?

>the absolute madman proceeds to snipe pharah and mercy out of the sky with icicles
I kinda feel bad for telling him to swap at first.

If they just removed the invulnerability from Mercy on herself while casting I wouldn't have such a big problem with her Q. It is the fact she can fly into a pile of corpses, be focused down, then LOLJK IMGOD for 3 seconds until he entire team is back up. Allow her to get big rezes but don't let her do it for nothing. A Mercy should die for diving into a completely wiped fight, not reset the godamn thing with no downside.

Yes!

>suddenly
Eat a bag of dicks, mercy main.

Things that actually need a nerf/remake currently:

>Deflect
>Defense Matrix
>Winston somehow
>Mercy res or guardian angel
>Pharah Jumpjet thrust/duration somehow
>add speed boost hero so lucio isnt the prime nigger

Okay, I already knew Recall gave iframes (although really it makes you intangible rather than invincible), I was wondering if Blink gave them but on a smaller scale. The ability to dodge ults like Self-Destruct with an ability that has 1/4th the cooldown of Recall would have been massive.

She can love him as a dear friend

She's also the easiest to kill.

>most powerful ult

Where is Murderboner?

Sombra has the fastest charging ult.

holy shit mercy shitters BTFO good shit /b/ro, you sure got him

Who is a more annoying character, Sym or Roadhog?
They're both cunts to play against but I can at least outmanoeuvre the tub of guts

Why the fuck is Roadhog still not nerfed? They could release balance patches separately from new map.

Keeping an enemy dead to counter their ult applies to every hero in the game. The problem with an instant Q press that also casts invincibility on the player means there is no counterplay which is a problem.

You can't stop a rez. Several shit maps means she can just rez the point from spawn. It's a shit ability.

nah mang symmetra

REMINDER THAT GENJI LOVES TO LICK MCCREES DIRTY BUNGHOLE CLEAN

>check out twitch streams
>timthefatman streaming
>ebin literal who gamer grill who is evidently a one-trick mercy and making shitty calls, asking for people to switch nonsensically
>no doubt carried to GM just because she's willing to tether herself to the people with passable motor-skills and presses Q once in a while

this mercy main meme is real?

Kill the mercy before doing a team wipe. You can stop rez

Symmetra. Hog was fine ever since the changes to hook so landing it wouldn't pull your opponent from literally anywhere on the map.

I've lost like 20 games in a row and now I'm nearly 1500 sr. How the hell do I drag myself back up when everyone instalocks 3 DPS?

>mercy presses q
>is briefly invincible
>is very not invincible after

WHOA SO OP

By not continuing to play after consecutive losses. Went from silver to diamond in a week by stopping after my first loss.

Will Reaper's new passive make him viable again?

hey guys
mercy exists

No Baby Dvas Call mech is the fastest charging.

Considering she can press Shift from a mile away while sitting in a building, you'd have to purposefully go out of your way to track her down, going behind the enemy lines and checking every building she might be sitting in, before starting any meaningful teamfight. This either requires you to have a good flanker on your team, communication so that people can report on where they've seen her last or suiciding in hopes of trying to catch her. Sometimes all three.

Anyone who disagrees that Sym is the least fun hero to play against suffers brain dablage

>Just find an opening while the Mercy is hiding and in that window find her and kill her while keeping enough time to capitalize on your initiation
>Do this literally every time you want to make progress because ults don't reset or diminish on death
Ults need to lose charge on death, a la Splatoon.

>kill her first
>flies back from spawn
>rez

>kill her last
>she's already rezzed

So I'm just supposed to keep her dead 100% of the time? Widow headshot her from spawn?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chu, the story isn't bad and the characters have some great personality but you have to sit Jeff down and tell him to help you get some more lore out. Quit stalling.

Also have you considering doing drama VA tracks? All you need to do is get the sound department and VAs to back you up. They were extremely successful for MGS. The drama CDs were great to listen to in PW and MGSV.

>the counter play is just to kill the champion

>kill a bunch of people
>they get rezzed
>kill them again

holy shit this is so op blizz pls remove

What is it about Tim that makes him so appealing to people? Just curious not knocking on the guy or his fans or whatever but I tried to watch one of his streams and he was just too much of an "ebin let's player" in my eyes if you know what I mean.

BLIZZARD, GIVE US BACK NO LIMITS

FUCKING BLIZZKIKES

>team somehow pulls together to cap the point, AND push the payload all the way to the end in overtime THEN hold the point in defense

HOW THE FUCK DID WE IM LITERALLY SHAKING

>>is very not invincible after
And surrounded by 5 fully HP allies dipshit

The counterplay is killing her before a team wipe, something any competent team will do. It's not a difficult concept to keep track of enemy ults and target accordingly, i.e. don't burn through your ults if you don't know where the Mercy is.

There's a reason she's the least used healer in higher level games.

Its simple ivan you see mercy you kill mercy.

>Loses to tracer
>loses to genji
>loses soldier
>hard countered by pharah
>Can't touch Dva
>can't keep up with mercy or lucio

No.

In Mercy's case, it is
There are characters with ultimates which truly have no practical counter, like Lucio. Mercy's counter is to just kill her first

>2-2 in Bo5
>teammates always shit their pants and go full retard feed

People need to play sombra more, the player base literally forgets there's a hero with silence.

>competitive
>pick Ana
>4 stack talking

Pubbies gonna pub

what is the best toon to kill tracer?

Bloo sniper lady of longshots

who one-trick junkrat here?
I lose games when I don't use him..

sombra

>cheers luhv! hehe

>still no hero that uses Fred's Araghast/Megatron voice

Tim's fucking terrible. His sens is too high and he only bodyshots. I guess the appeal is watching a relatable dudebro do dudebro things?
and yet he's getting paid to feed and play at a plat level, life isn't fucking FAIR

>that spastic flick

I mean, it worked. But Jesus.

>Mercy's counter is to just kill her first
That is the equivalent of Reaper or Pharah being invulnerable during their ult your fucking shit licking retard.

Doesn't aimbotting get boring? I truly don't understand the mentality of this.

*blinks behind you*
CHEERS LOVE! THE CAVALRY'S- BZZZZRT!

the counter to sound barrier is EMP, but you did say practical. Having a sombrero rarely is.

she's designed for ebin gamer girls and twitch whores who want to get in on the OW gravy train

>no motor skills required
>can pocket players with actual precision and tracking skills to get carried to GM
>guaranteed to get some form of meaningful rez off, if they somehow fuck it up and waste it into another grav or take too long then they dont even get the blame 9/10 times by virtue of being a support

she forces you to win the 5v6, before or after. it's' very rare you can deal with her first then find her at spawn while simaltaneously winning the ongoing teamfight without you there.

the fact she can literally rez from the spawn room is dumb though on some points

So hack her with Sombra? She has a counter you sperglord

The pressure of overtime can turn the shitter brigade into The Dream Team.

No it isn't, the active part of Mercy's ult occurs at the exact moment she presses Q

"Main healer" is Mercy or Ana. Zen can't heal fast enough to keep all of his teammates up unless he ults and Lucio can't reliably speed boost with only Zen as the second support because he needs to keep his Amp for healing.

cried laughing

fuck me

>tfw didn't get that skin
Maybe next year.

...

hearty kek
make it for other heroes too..

I'll reserve my memes for just this one post and tell you that I'm not really aimbotting

I have handcam videos from S2

Why can't I play my waifu in competitive without people assuming that I'm trolling? She's not even that bad anymore, except when people don't work as a team.

fucking hell you're so pale you glow in the dark

I guess the medic from tf2 was also designed for girl gamers.

>she forces you to win the 5vs6 before or after

Or you can harrass her ass with a sombra, genji or tracer. She's the healer, it makes sense to kill her first.

>the fact she can literally rez from the spawn room.

Which is only useful in one map you retard, also anyone can ult from the spawn room.

Which is why it's the equivalent of invincibility during another ult. There is absolutely no counterplay once the ult is out so you have to constantly stop them from ever using it.

There is no way to negate it other than powering through the entire enemy team a second time, so that means you will have to do this (kill the Mercy first) every single time you want to make progress (because she'll have her ult back on respawn) and it's difficult as fuck to deal with.

What the fuck is that mouse grip?

Enumbre's hand is cute!
Cute!

>he doesn't know what aimbots look like
first week playing fps shooters?

kek

150+ boxes from leveling everything except tracer skin fucking bullshit though would have got them all but i thought the event was going to end so i bought cyberian and then pulled it out of the next box because the event stayed going
i held on to one box, but im not opening it
but yeah, genji is easy as fuck to play and dva needs nerfed more than roadhog

*exhales butter flavored cheeto dust*
