REMINDER THAT GENJI LOVES TO LICK MCCREES DIRTY BUNGHOLE CLEAN

Don't steal my job please ;_;

it was a little video of OW VAs with a small interview with jeff

Too slow!

Hey Daddy-o!~~~

>stop playing for a while, pick up dorf fort in the meantime
>come back and play it, it's fun again
fuck, you weren't kidding, so how long until i hate it again?

I love D.VA!!!!!!!!

I'll get ya next time.

New map is shit and only retards will defend it

ugh, what a bore!

>Retarded Reaper gets killed by old Roadhog
>Whine on reddit/blizz forum
>Roadhog is removed
>Same retard picks Reaper again
>Get slaughtered by my rivet gun

Now I am wondering if those Reaper mains will go apeshit over Torbjörn.

I'm pretty new and I hear about DSPStanky being one of the best Lucios around.

My scrub eyes see someone who wallrides skillfully and becomes hard to hit, puts out decent damage, has occasionally clutch boops, speed boosts a lot, BUT HIS HEALING IS RARELY ACTIVATED even when he's surrounded by 3 teamates with crit low health.
Is that the actual correct way to play lucio?

I haven't got a single comp win on horizon since it was added on the rotation

Doomfist will make tanks great again

Does anyone else have any nicknames for characters that you use, or names that you just use in your own head when you're thinking about them?
Not obvious or common stuff, like "Hog" or "Gengu."

I call Tracer "Zippy" in my head and I have no fucking idea why.

Because you're autistic

No one plays Music Frog as a healer. He's mainly there just to stall and annoy the enemy team.
If you want a healer, have them pick Ana or Mercy, because a good Lucio will rarely prioritize healing over speed.

looks like my 'anyone who uses the Cute sprays are probably trash' theory is holding up, just had a team that littered spawn with 4 cute sprays and they barely existed around the objective

nth for locking mercy when i get a mercy otp on my team

did them weekly victories and the map is okay but it shows its a very busy map

>zerog section is tiny
>attacker spawn to point A has way too many options with open area, a unorganized push is easily defeated
>A and B has a fucking short time. if you steamroll A you can steamroll B under 15 seconds
>a lot of side entrances with little mobility skills needed
>dive comp is likely to not work due to large areas with no cover
>a good widowmaker can go to town on HLC

...

>"lol no symmetra on king of hill no please"
>get a clutch teleporter after everyone died and got everyone back to point on overtime fighting 6v3
>get 53 elims and 41 objective elims

Stanky plays a strange 3rd DPS / Crowd Control role. A couple times per round, he uses his ult to defend the team.
He does not actually play as a healer.

>Is that the actual correct way to play lucio?
Not if your team actually needs more healing. And sometimes it really does.
He gets his teams fucked all the time because he's not doing what they really need him to do. And nobody will ever point that out to him because he does everything else so well.

Just because he's good at a lot of stuff doesn't mean that he's always doing the right thing for the team.

Ah okay, thank you!

>use cute spray
>I'm trash
Good theory, holds up.

Silver must be tough.

I call her Tracey thanks to these threads.

yeah sure symmetra can work in atypical conditions but then you are playing symmetra

I call her Smuga

>When they bring up your Season 1 SR in an argument

I understand much better now, thanks

post webms

>just in my head
>outright autist
Thanks for that.

Why would you call her 'Zippy'? Also, anyone who calls Genji 'Genju' is a twelve-year-old who's probably uses Hanzo's ult on the ground.

No problem user. Dont get me wrong, Stanky is fun as fuck to watch, but dont learn from his Speed Monkey unless you want to be "that guy".
Ive seen him get out-healed by a Hog before, simply because he spent the entire game on the top of the map hoping around.

lucio is only a secondary healer

hes there for speed boosts. as long as your team can bypass shields, dive comp will win, if they can keep dodging with lucio's speed then whatever healing the other one is doing will be greatly improved.

real issue is that 85% of the playerbase will use lucio as a healer because the coordination needed to do what dpstinky does is absurd. wich is why he fails as a team player too.

when my team has something absurd like 4 DPS i usually do better with a healing lucio that a tank with sustain

Fareeha is cute.

season 2 was the only real season and the definitive measurement of what your REAL skill is

>mfw s2 diamond picks DPS in my GM game

>beyblade meta
>definite measurement of REAL skill

>widow main picks widow for attack
>does shit and doesnt switch
>i instalock widow on defence before him and throw
how devilish of me :), felt good

XD

feelio when going from ps4 to 120fps ultra ow

im litarally unstoppable up in this bitch
is it preferable to set graphics to low in this game like in CS?

Hey Daddy-O~

I mean, it makes sense. A season 1 rank 50 will not be as good as a season 1 rank 80.

Was this comp or qp

comp of course, at master level

Sure, don't really have anything exciting though.

What is the point in trolling in QP?

I get that you're upset and you're looking for attention, but really sit down and evaluate what you accomplished by throwing that game and what that says about your character.

Just sit down and think.

only people who remember silver exists are golds. whats up goldie? :)

Roadhog = fatso
Mei = chink
Winston = monkey
Mercy = whore

t. career high was in season 2

I would've been more upset if I kept playing seriously, he didn't so why would I
I'm also fairly sure we would've lost it anyway since I was the only tank and we didn't cap the first point

Need more of her without her armor on. The sprays and comic panel aren't enough

People still rages on qp, so much like on comp, but its something

>Mercy = whore
Nicht nett.

Gotta love getting a team of 2 couple on my team 2x games in a row and losing both times and calling them out on their shitty strats and tactics.

Then having them on the opposite team and carry my team to a complete curb stomp.

Best part is these two are Top200 and I'm struggling to keep GrandMaster floating between 3900-4090.

Ta bort det här

nah i was high masters in s2 (3831 season high) but then with the inflted welfare ranks i shot up to GM with ease in s3 and s4

i still recognize s2 was the best season for showing your real level

>see level 10 who's playing really well in my game
>ask if they're really brand new
>turns out they're a top 500 support player on console
>oh cool
>have some fun playing as mccree, get a few nice kills
>end of the game the guy adds me
>instantly log off without saying a word

who here /has no internet friends/?

I have so many real life friends but I can't make any over the internet. Sigh.

follow up to this, just played another game, asked the hanzo to switch and he didnt so i again instalocked hanzo the first chance i could and threw
he and his friend spent the entire game asking me to switch not realising the irony
it was delicious

why is he called dps stanky when lucio is a healer?

>Win a game as Mercy
>Get 60 fucking SR
>Lose a game as Mercy
>SR doesn't go down

Jesus fucking christ, I thought you guys were joking when you said she was a free ticket to high elo. The memes are real.

Tips for winston? I want to main him, ex d.va "main".

It is literally not a meme. Blizz admitted using performance metrics.

You wanna know something funny though? Once you get to a high enough elo, you're surrounded by Mercy mains who can't play any other characters and they fight over who gets to play her. The person who instalocks Mercy first wins and gains the most/loses the least SR, while everyone else eats shit and dies and blames the rest of their team

It's like poetry, except it's actually hurting me

>tfw no avg k gf

Why would you stop maining D.Va now that her second golden age has come?

Because I feel she is a low skill hero and I feel like shit

I wish she was real /owg/

>teammate picks winston
>we win
>teammate doesn't pick winston
>we lose
hmm...a character that's so powerful that he's a necessity in a team comp in order to win. There's a phrase for that, over...something, too powerful, yeah that's it

Playing on sunday afternoons at 2600 eu is torture

Kids in every fucking game

>Have gold damage, silver elims and silver obj kills as a dps

>"YOU DONT DO SHIT"

You play a support/tank, you lose because you're supporting retards

Play a dps, teammates flame you and try to troll

I swear doing placements with my friend in gold was the biggest mistake ever, once you've tanked your rank you have to work like a madman playin in unsociable hours and one-tricking to force yourself back up to where you were

same. then i could get those feet in my mouth

>get matched up with a top 500 console winston
>he sucks

She isn't a low skill hero at all

You have 3 different skills not including your ult, you have to think about positioning and your escapes constantly, you need to track at extremely close range when people dance around you to do any real damage, you have to setup your ult by destroying barriers first, etc.

yeah we should keep nerfing everyone
just drain every bit of flavor this game has until it's as bland as possible

stop bitching please

Pharah is best Imouto.

fuckin normie this is not a blog site

What do you think Winston is?

Enjoying that Hog nerf asked by gold shitters yet?

Yes but I learned all of those thinngs and now I do them without thinking, so she feels low skill to me. I want to give winston a try
Yoi are more squishy than d.va and your barrier is a shit, you have to know when to jump and where positioning yourself

t. "aiming is the only thing that matters" *presses Q playing S76* FPSbabbo

D.Va is a goddess

the most mindbogglign thing about the mercy main phenomenon is that these people are ready to be completely bored with a video game, something that should be fun in itself, just to get higher skill rating number

Am the only one who doesn't get annoyed by her voice?

>to have flavor a character must be overpowered
that isn't how this works
Sombra, symmetra, torbjorn, bastion, widowmaker, genji, they all have flavor and aren't overpowered. Zenyatta has flavor and he's balanced. please be less stupid would you?

That is actually awesome. Blizzard awful ranked system can't crash and burn soon enough.

aim is not the only thing that matters but it is the most important thing

you still need gamesense and strategy in CSGO too although it's much more aim heavy compared to OW

You better not have a double standard and admit Mercy needs skill too then.

>Barrier is shit

Its actually amazing if you dont use it as a rein shied
You use it as a cock blocker when people dont have the ability to shred it quickly from range

She fine but I just can't get into this whole animuu thing people do to her.

Remember when Rein was the mandatory pick and not winston?
Remember when shitters like you (maybe you) asked for Rein nerfs?
He now is >20% pickrate with 0 nerfs on him.
Meta changes all the time. Play it or don't it doesn't matter, just stop spouting shit.

>responding to German in Swedish

should I throw away all my IV materia?

also, is there a trick / efficient way to do POTD?

I think it's meant to be the kind of voice that some find annoying. She's meant to be in-your-face and obnoxious.

I love it personally though.

The way they draw her? Or something else?

It's not like official material is that far off anime aesthetic. Pic related.
