Why don't these shitters go the role they bitch about instead of demanding others do it?

You have to realize that at the lower SR brackets it's more important not to tilt your team than actually play good to win because no one is able to carry there.
And Junkrat is pretty tilting.

Why are the baguettes the most toxic in EU. I just leave voice chat when I hear Frenchies.

>I will never 2-stack with a GM DPS on a smurf and get carried to Masters as a support main after my 10 placement matches

Why live?

Holy shit a competent Winston is a dream come true when I'm playing genji

cause he fucks your ass?

Actually, she is carrying the GM guy.

Bastion is basically an alternate version of soldier nobody knows how to deal with in Dia

Why do all those girls solo climb to Master / GM so easily with Mercy while i still stuck in silver with her?

What's their secret, please help me /owg/.

Affirmative action SR boost from blizzard

Why is it so dead?

Let's talk about eDPI, faggots.

I've been a long time FPS guy and I've been playing on the often 1600DPI x 2.5 sens which equates to an eDPI of 4000.

I noticed that some Korean Genji players play 10000+ eDPI.

Decided to try it, holy shit I can get kills with Genji now. He's just so much easier to play now and change direction easily.

Greetings

when are they going to make it possible to 1v6 if you're good enough

shit why have people started to spout this eDPI meme anyway, the simplest way to comprehend sensitivities is cm per 360 turn

use what's comfortable
i dunno why people gotta get all spergy about it

what's a good website for aim training?

Well that's one person that definitely won't be coming back at least.

>watching DPS main pick Mercy in GM games for science
>did fuck all during the match and would wait for big resses
>2 wins earned 26 and 32 SR apiece
>has a 31% winrate with Mercy so far

This hero is broken.

>decide to be a dps main
>constantly underperform, doing bare minimums while being useful but not enough to have a deciding impact on the game
>play tank
>steamroll opponents, rack up them golds, easy SR gains

The only thing keeping me out of GM is my stuborness to become a pro gengu. Who else /fakedpsmain/ here?

Can we assume there will be an announcement at AX? Blizzard has a booth and is doing a large Overwatch panel there this weekend. Chu and Jeff will be there.

>tfw shit at positioning
>can only play dps because aiming is the one thing I can do half decent

What do the orb sensitivity settings on zenyatta do?

...

>tfw aim when playing dps heroes is inconsistent
>aim as Ana is consistently good
>this meta is not very good for Ana mains
>winrate with Mercy and Zen in QP is like over 60%
>winrate with Ana is now 49.9% because Winston is in like every game I play and people don't step out of his fucking bubble

I wish I was godlike at Tracer/Soldier so I could carry myself out. I didn't play many games after my first season's placements (got high gold), but being a support main at those tiers is suffering unless you've got a friend who can carry with DPS. People can't aim for shit and trickling in/staggering is endemic.

>toxic shitter starts calling everyone retards in chat, even though it's qp
>Check profile, share his inevitable high level and garbage comp rank with everyone in chat
>They immediately shut up or leave the game

Works every time.

>silver healing as Mercy at GM
>earns +30 SR

Just one-trick her to climb if you can't aim. Blizzard "balancing" doesn't exist.

feeling sleepy?

Support players bitched for months and months that they weren't getting the SR they should be getting - whatever internal metric Blizzard adjusted to boost them up has pushed them up too far

If your MMR is shit, doesn't matter if you play Mercy since she's a common pick at those ranks. You'd have to be exemplary at her to stand out and gain more/lose less SR.

What you should've done is just get a friend who is a capable fragger to 2-stack with you and just pocket them.

...

FUCK REAPER FUCK THIS FUCKING NO SKILL PIECE OF SHIT BROKEN HERO THAT EVERYONE SPAMS NOW CAUSE OF ROADHOG NERF

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK HE'S SO EASY IT MAKES ME MAD, THESE FUCKING CHIMPS DON'T EVEN DESERVE PLAT

>have guy on my team lock roadhog
>feeds out the ass all game

>get same guy on enemy team next game

>feeds out the ass again

Now I'm afraid to queue for a while because he might end up on my team again.

Didn't know there was a car map, user.

Dude, just stay the fuck away from him and watch for flanks. Like half the dps heroes in the game outrange him.
If you're playing support, then I'm sorry but that's kind of his job. You'd be dead if it was a tracer or a genji on your ass too.

Why would they patch anything else, the game is perfect :^)

NERF SCATTER ARROW

The supports all outrange him too

>try work with team in solo queue
>15% chance of succeeding
>pick something useful to the current composition
>get yelled at for it not being meta/"stealing" someone's main
>pick characters that I'm good at
>everyone else manages to drop the ball

Gonna just cut off comms with my team and do what comes to mind and synergize that way.

Nobody has anything good to say, nor is talking used for callouts other than "find mercy find mercy AWGAHAGWGGAGWGAGAGWGAGWG THIS FUCKING TEAM"

My teammates actually switched to zen and soldier to counter enemy pharah. Pharah didnt switch and was outplayed 80% of the game

>losing 2-0
>switch off fill to your main because about to lose anyways
>comeback to win 3-2
>two people on other team "your [your main] won you guys that game"
>team agrees
>tfw

just go 1 tank 4 dps

How you enjoying this dead game overtards?

4 minutes and 50 seconds solo quickplay queue time is pathetic.

This game is on its fucking death bed

We've been here the whole day. Let's finish this thread

game is just having trouble finding shitters on your lvl

>be one trick reaper main
>actually carrying games post patch
>shitters picking my hero now before I can instalock

>played 400 hours
>still stuck in fucking gold
>almost silver portrait

this is getting fucking embarrassing, if i dont get play in 100 levels Im quiting this. individual effort isnt enough to rank up if you're not at least diamond and thats a fucking fact.

you have to be way above your sr to rank up. That's how it works. If you are plat you can easily carry in bronze and silver but not in gold anymore. You have to be masters to carry in gold

>tfw any one of them could smash that smug cunt into the dirt if they wanted to

I have silver portrait too and have been stuck in high-gold/low-plat for most of the time, but I'm currently mid-plat and I'm slowly climbing to diamond, solo queue only, you can do this bro.

I was in 2300-2600 for 2 seaons and this season I climbed up to 2950 and now back in 2300

worst is yesterday i got a few games not filled with morons and literally got to 2550 untill i played 3 more games


>have leaver/ disconnect halfway through, loss
>have gold hanzo only player, and a mercy who didn't rez once (not 1 time) while enemy's made multiple 3 man rezes,close game
>literally get 5 dps, have to be mercy, lose because no damage mitigation and couldn't heal
everyone

gonna make a push to get back to 2500 and stop there if not then i think im done with this game, qp is garbage arcade is fun for 2 games and if i cant actively improve in comp i might a well spend my time somewhere else.

>junkrat instalock

how did you fall, tilt? loss streak?

>que comp
>insta lock genji, hanzo and junkrat, no healers
>can we have a tank please
>goes roadhog

I saw a dude in gold rank the other day who had the plat+gold portrait.
At least you aren't that pathetic yet, right? :^)

>Be filthy Junkrat picker
>Pharah pickers try to counter me
>Little do they know I have perfected the art of mine jumping to them and shooting them at point blank range

THERE IS NO ESCAPE

>4 instalock dps and hog as main tank
>"can we have a healer please?"
>picks lucio

>Get Mercy main on team
>They sit on me (Pharah) most of the game
>Thank them after when we win

FeelsGoodMan

...

>team starts as 2-2-2
>one guys dies, switches to dps
>one minute later 5 dps and me
>I switch to dps too
>ooga booga nigga we need healer

Not only that but those fuckers were flaking the first point on volskaya and then just fucking standing at the point alone for 5 seconds before someone kills them

>When the enemy team recognizes you're the only person on your team worth a damn so they single you out the entire match
>Your team then shit talks you for not doing anything because you're just getting gangbanged constantly

Ok /owg/, pick 3 heroes you will never see on your team again.
And one hero that will always be on your team :^)

hanzo junkrat bastion
mercy

Junkrat, widow, symmetra
Soldier 76

Beach party comic soon?

Who else /quittingthisgamefortheseason/ here
Already decayed down into diamond

decayed? if you dont even play the game how do you quit?

I used to play comp every day and haven't played comp in seven days, that's how.

Is junkrat bad?

is water wet?

I'd say morally gray

>got diamond before i hit lev 40
>now level 300 and im stuck at 3300
just end it lads

Why is it like the ammount of fucking FAGGOT ASS TRACER MAINS HAVE TRIPLED

hanzo widow sombra

Mercy

Cheers love! The cavalry's here!

maybe because tracer is best dps right now

>I cannot possibly be the only one that wants Reaper and Sombra to be a couple
come on guys...

Every other DPS either out ranges him or can out maneuver him. Are you bronze?

shut up dumb frogposter

Reyes is Jacks boyfriend dude. Not cool

>not wanting jack to die alone

brah

>comp
>guy gets on mic and immediately starts giving people attitude
>tell him that if he calms down people will listen
>other people chime in and say the same
>"i dont need to take your advice im better than you"
>he starts barking orders and asking for specific roles / heroes
>everyone on team is already pissed at him so everyone just does what they want to spite him
>dude spends the whole match going ballistic on voice and on match chat

Hanzo, Mercy, Sombra

Zenyatta

>log on for the first time today
>they got ride of zero gravity
WHAT THE FUCK

i thought 76 was banging ana

>plat first 4 seasons
>went 8-2 in placements but placed Gold
>constantly tilting because the shit people do here blows my fucking mind with how nonsensical it is
>have only ever solo q'd because my one friend is in Masters and works shifts
>played at his house a few times in masters and did absolutely fine, well enough to have people add me and want to duo

FUCK comp.

Low gravity was literally the least fun I've ever had while playing this game.

it's too perfect of a match not to happen
