Awful fucking thread the worst part is you can't even report this one like you can with the fetish fart faggot

>tfw one-tricking my way to high elo but I've actually become good at the hero along the way
I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this.

MERCY THE HIDING BITCH

>they're probably not healing
Except they are because thats their only fucking job. If the healers any good, which would necessitate me saying target healer in chat, the healer is the reason why the team just "doesn't seem to die omg idk whats happening". All the team mates have to do is run backwards, get healed, then run up front and continue killing your team mates.

But you're right, don't target the players keep everyone else alive. Keep shooting at everyone else and pray they forget to fall back
>just a little bit

This new map is absolute dog shit what the fuck? I really hope Blizz deletes the entire thing from existence after this event is over.

The event has been over for a week

>he blames the OP for the shit posting in the thread

The image at the top would make no difference. You're a fool to think otherwise. These are just the people you share a general with.

>tfw no vampire mistress to serve eternally

I swear to God, they should make it a fucking rule that you cannot join a match if theres less than 2min on the clock. I'm so fucking tired of joining losing matches at the last second. This shit better not be counting towards my win/loss or I'm going to be pissed.

That's literally the point of one-tricking

holy shit hog's m2 feels like a series of quicker closer-range pharah rockets. hook is just for murdering supports now and m2 is where it's at

Symmetra is already the vampire.

I thought the point was just to get a higher meme number.

>Roadhog will now never be picked ever.

I swear developers intentionally break shit just to reel back in the normie crowd later on. Situations like "Hey want to play Overwatch? They fixed it now!" are made instead of small balance tweaks that no one really notices.

I really like that skin. It's a shame her Halloween spray uses Comtesse since I think Huntress is better overall and it's what I use.

But Widowmaker is a vampire in that skin and it was out before Symmetra's skin.

Why do the things that make us the happiest hurt the most?

Why are people who play mercy exclusively in comp so... inept? I've had several games with people with +20 mercy hours on the current season that perform worse than bots when it comes to awareness.

They never play with the team, and hold onto rezzes (and die) because all they want is to get that one huge rez that they're never alive for? Someone please explain.

Hook combo is still good for anything other than Ana and D.Va
But if you can aim the alt fire, you still one shot everything like before.

Yeah, by being better at generating stats with that hero. As opposed to flexing, which might be better for getting wins, but doesn't necessarily leave you as appearing statistically better among players of a given hero.

this didn't happen

Anyone else think Reaper's new ability is pretty shit? You get next to no health from it, 100% killing a Soldier is 40 measly health

>tfw roadhog is dead
>tfw i have no fatty to relate to

welp, im going to mexico to get my stomach stapled.

I guess I hadn't really thought it through.

>But Widowmaker is a vampire in that skin
What the fuck are you talking about?

(you) got me there user. I really have no way of proving it. Not sure what you want me to say.

Mei still exists

Anyone else okay with the Roadhog changes? I'm still playing him and haven't noticed much of a negative change
What was actually done to the hook?

Oh boy another game of Mystery where we killed the enemy team so much with our shit team comp they just rolled every top tier character in the game and steam rolled after we held them back for 6 minutes with no Healer what-so-ever. What a fucking god damn surprise, who could have seen this coming.

This game mode is fucking trash and I don't fucking know how anyone actually plays it.

>3400SR
>matched with GMs and top 500
>lose
Wew, lads, talking about fair game, amirite, Blizzard?

Nothing about the hook was changed, for once. Instead we're still stuck with 3.0.

Me on the left.

>there's no forced 50 in this game!

Hell is other people.

>2400SR
>matched with GMs and top 500
>lose
Wew, lads, talking about fair game, amirite, Blizzard?

The idea is to make Reaper better against Tanks. It's not hard to fucking understand man. You get 80 HP for killing Zarya and above.

She has bite marks on her neck and fangs.

Why'd they change Hog anyways?

>he doesn't have 150+ people on his friend list with someone online wanting to play at any hour of the day
lol this is a multiplayer game you know

>help
>this man has kidnapped me

Because people felt that Roadhog shouldn't be one shotting people consistently with his hook combo.

Shitters on battle.net.

Pharah will be nerfed soon, because they're fucking garbage.

>Gotta fight Squishies? Fuck McCree, Hog!
>Gotta Fight Tanks? Fuck Repaer, Hog!
>Gotta break barriers? Fuck Junrkat. Hog!

you tell me.

And you get it before the opponent dies, which can be pretty crucial.

Shitters who can't dodge the stupid hook, the most predictable shit there is.
Thats still shit, killing a whole Hog is 120 health, no even 50% of his health

So how the fuck was her nerfed?

People didn't like getting hooked

>win six ranked games in a row as mercy
>holy shit hype
>mercyhaters jelly
>time to celebrate
>go out to get some frozen yogurt
>meet miranda cosgrove
>holy shit

Good things come to those who pick best girl

I don't add a lot of people, and when I do, they always seem to cease to exist afterwards.

I want to play a cool fatass. Not a "cool" fatass.

Besides i already scheduled the surgery.
Do any of the characters have a ton of excess skin? I could relate to that afterward.

I guess i could just play D.va. She had cosmetic surgery.

wait is that a thing? should I check my statements?

The Hog hooked one too many healsluts.

>escort defense
>enemy rolls a Bastion, Reim, Road, Orisa, Mercy at last second and protect the president
>we get 3 torbs

I want Pharah nerfed, not because she's OP, but because I can't ever play anything except hitscan because nobody else can fucking aim.

>boner

Did you not notice the fifth round in the magazine? Or the much faster fire rate?

His scrapgun's damage was reduced by 33%, fire rate increased by 30% and magazine size increased by 1.

Holy shit that chick looks like megan from drake and josh

Oh, and his head hitbox was reduced by 20%

Probably not if you knew where to unsubscribe. I was thinking I had to cancel Amazon Prime in the account I just created but I had to unsubscribe from Prime Video, which is the actual subscription I did and apparently does is another thing that comes with Amazon Prime but it can be alone too and not figure on your amazon account.

I have a theory, that they didn't realize just how broken his shit was until they made the 1v1 and 3v3 modes and saw how frequently he was picked.

If you knew how to aim before the change doesn't really mean anything to you.

>b-but the fire rate? t-the extra shot?

his dps is still lower than it once was, even if you hit all the shots. Throw in spread and falloff and you have even less damage.

he was nerfed hard. His gun is now totally counter-intuitive to the rest of his kit.

anyone trying to justify hog's changes, have no intention of actually playing him.

Reaper is far superior now, you might as well play torb

>removed the one shot Roadhog combo
>Widow can still one shot from across the map
This is stupid and bad game design.

>b-but she's a sniper!
Snipers are inherently anti-fun by design. Being one shot across the entire map is not fun. Even if there is ways to counter her, there's not ways to counter being one shot from across the map. She just looks at you and you die.
At least with Roadhog you could hear him, and he had to actually land the hook in the first place. And while the hook was happening multiple heroes on your team had ways to react and stop the one shot.

But not with Widow, one shot one kill. No time to react.

Are you always this much of a complainer?
But yes, hog didn't need this. But neither does widow.

Nope Disagree. I dont get mad if sniper lands an amazing shot. If hog lands a bullshit hook on my as reaper from two feet away. I wonder why the class i am supposed to counter beats me.

>b-but the fire rate? t-the extra shot?
Where did I say that you retard? I was just telling you what was changed.

Also his damage changes are all dependent on how long you measure his dps.

One shot it's reduced by 33%
Hook combo is reduced by 24% or so
One magazine dps is reduced by 14%
Two magazine dps, including reload time, is increased by 3%

You can still easily kill reaper in two attacks, and faster than he can kill you. Alt fire, hook, fire.

I don't understand their priorities
>let's nerf a character that is doing horribly in this meta while only having a 7% overall pickrate instead of highest tier heroes like Lucio, Tracer, or D.va
Oh well. Removing monkey's biggest hard counter will just make sniper lives that much more shittier. Everyone wins

how do you defend point a on colony

Any consolefags here?

>Reinhardt can one-shot most heroes with his charge
>Hanzo can one-shot most heroes with his scatter arrow
>Widowmaker can one-shot most heroes with a headshot
>Zen can one-shot most heroes with his right-click

>Roadhog can o-
WAAAAAH WTF FIX THIS SHIT

It's all about the wheel of balance. Everyone gets their chance at the top, and has to be put down to the bottom.

Roadhog mains are pathetic. They no longer have their 600 HP self-sustaining oneshot man so they are trying to tear down everyone else.

Roadhog literally ruined all the Elimination modes so hard that people had to do gentlemen's agreements to not pick him or he would be on every team every round or if it was just you vs. Roadhog you might as well give up because you'd never beat him 1v1 unless you were also Roadhog or had sick Widow skills.

Me. I'm on PS4.

>Widow oneshots up to 300 hp on carefully placed headshot
>Roadhog oneshots up to 400 hp by landing a body shot with a huge hitbox.

2/10 because i replied.

Widow was gutted hard(June 14th,2016) and then given 20% charge(November 15, 2016 almost 5 moths later). Roadhog was nowhere near as broken as launch Widow. I also don't think Roadhog needed to be gutted that hard. I don't get why Blizz's respnse to something strong is to make the hero clunky as fuck to use until they decide to ever touch the hero again.

>implying the game should be balanced around Elimination
Fuck off, in arcade balance doesn't matter at all.

ya if reaper is standing still. Reaper can do his job now and counters all the tanks.

>yeah if reaper is standing still

Are you people just incapable of shooting people on the move or something?

>not thinking this world is worth fighting for
ishygddt

I feel like I play with the same group of like 150~ people in quickplay
Did I hit top elo in qp?

Arcade exposes how broken Roadhog was, faggot. You literally could not beat Roadhog unless there were two of you or you were supreme levels of skill higher. He was a crutch character that enabled shitty players because he had 3x the normal HP and could oneshot anybody in his line of sight every 8 seconds. He's was fucking stupid.
