Give her 90's porn star implants.

>If you don't have a mercy on your team, you don't have a chance.
Comp is so fun (not)

Can some PS4 EU bro please carry me? I'm stuck in silver.

>how would you fix mercy?

Remove her from the game

Most supports already fulfills her role

if you are a german, please don't use voicechat

o- oh... another thread without mei in the op... that's fine... she'll be in the next one, right?

This guy gets it.

And then also a sweater + labcoat skin.

Another thread full of shitters. Stop playing

I miss my hog

Last man standing:

-New Game mode.
-12 players.
-Every one on their own.
-Everybody against everybody.
-No teams or team spawn.
-New big ass maps with hiding spots

>it's another "die on point" episode

I AM READY TO UNLEASH THE WOLF

pick tracer or genji and murder her in every fight

Noch so eine freche Bemerkung und dann geht's ab nach Magdeburg du Lümmel!

why does reaper try to kill every overwatch member?
everyone knows he's super evil but why is he like that

>It's another the rest of the team won't push the point because a single Symmetra turret is guarding the choke episode.

Am Mercy main, can confirm

...

/owg/ is to trash to play high skill flankers so they meme about "mercy does not belong in le game" because of their inadequacy

Wrong.

Junker bois best bois

>It's another episode of me trying to push in as a tank and no one follows

I think a lot of us do. I can only speak for high diamond but I never saw him used much even before the nerf, good hogs were even more rare. So why did bliz nerf him?

>insta locking hog on lijang/illios prenerf

I love how you can't say anything bad about the characters, abilities, maps, or mention any of the game's known problems in chat without everybody chimping out and screaming about "urr saly, urr bad, urr game is perfect, urr my character is fine, urr Jeff is amazing, urr urr urr".

Inshalla habibi

Everyone knows the problems with the game. If you're saying in chat midgame "omg x is bullshit" then you're being salty. You're not going to actually discuss those design issues in chat, are you? No, you do that here, or on their forums, or on Reddit or wherever you do that shit.

There's a difference between discussing an issue and just trying to delegitimize a loss/death to protect your ego. If you're saying "x is bullshit" in chat then you ARE being salty.

Low SR complain, I think. Remember, 50% of the playerbase are below 2300.

>that hook on hook duels over the well with the opposing hog on ilios

The game is far from perfect but the fact is virtually everyone in this thread is total trash so their opinions on anything aren't valid

Its rare on EU, but when it happened it was golden. Also I think I learned a new Spanish slur whilst I was at it, so yeah Carajo
tu mismo? Something like that

>everyone in this thread is trash
>mercy main
>probably diamond or below seasons 2/3
ok bud

>How would you fix Mercy?
Nerfs:
Her staff now emits a cone that heals players inside of it so it requires some aim
She can no longer rez through walls OR her rez needs to charge for every person in its radius, kind of like McCree's ult
Takes 2 seconds without taking damage to start health regen instead of one

Buffs:
She can now heal / boost more than one person at a time if they are within her cone.
Guardian Angel can now be stopped at any time by pressing shift.

These all probably suck but you asked

>high gold
>mainly play tank Rein/Zarya
>Dps when needed Soldier/Pharah
>Heals when asked Zen/Mercy
>Defense as Torb/Mei
>Still having issues winning games

>Guardian Angel can now be stopped at any time by pressing shift.
That's exactly how it works right now.

When I get 1-shot as a tank from full health by Hanzo's bullshit Scatter Arrow, that's not me trying "delegitimitize" anything, that's pointing out a factual problem that even Blizzard has said is a problem. And when I say "A Supoort character should not be doing 120dps with an auto-lockon beam that goes through walls and around corners and stretches 20 meters before breaking", that's not being salty, that's pointing out a very bad design choice.

Someone please.

>wanting the stupid cone idea that completely goes against the idea of the character for the sake of making her take "skill"
>Guardian Angel can now be stopped at any time by pressing shift.
You've literally never played Mercy have you user?

IT'S LORE SPECULATION TIME
Post the greatest OW mystery you want solved.
Personally I want to see what the Iris organization from Sombra's origin vid is about, who they are and what they want. Oddly enough the Vishkar corporation doesn't seem associated with them at least in the map

>still shitposting on Veeky Forums

Is it me or should the ammo on Orisa's gun recharge quickly after a delay like her reload animation implies rather than in one large chuck at the end?It seems weird and really breaks the flow of combat when you throw out a shield, only to find out you can't fire because you sent out a shield 0.0015824 seconds before the animation was finished

How has Blizzard STILL not added Duel back in Arcade?

Yeah, I hate how doing anything interrupts her reload and you have to wait anothe 2.5 seconds.

Whoa there user, slow down let's start with the basics
I want to know what Talon actually wants. Its the mark of a shit story if the thing has gone on for a year and we don't even know what the literal 'group of bad guise' want.

>Its the games games fault because I lost.

I 100% agree Scatter Arrow is an awful and anti-fun mechanic, but you're not saying anything constructive by saying it in chat mid-match. This doesn't change no matter how bullshit an ability is.

>playing mercy
lmao

What are custom games?

this game feels so laggy and unresponsive after playing CSGO

Ill admit his hook instagib was a bit op, but he's a huge loud crit box with no shield or barrier to protect him or his team. He had strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else,

>hog duals where the enemy hog hooks you first

Talon as an organization isn't terribly interesting to me because they've only been shown to be assholes bent on creating conflict in the world, and with the Doomfist reveal, it probably is just a bunch of people creating conflict and unrest for their own reasons. The Iris organization has ties to both Talon and Overwatch, and who's really at "the top" of the Overwatch world is pretty interesting to me at least

What are lootboxes?

I miss the "muh 20 tick" shitstorms.

retard

I would imagine it's an AI, the one that got the original omnic war started.

I used to shoot and hook first. M2->Hook->M1 combo, but I was always nervous as fuck. I couldn't for the life of me figure out if I got enough of the HP to frag

That artstyle just gave me cancer

Hazo is dogshit so so what? Why are you complaining about EVER having to play against a Hanzo?

Unless you are complete shit you should be high fiving the screen every time you see a Hanzo on the other team.

So I'm not allowed to say anything because it makes you mad, gotcha.

Ok so no one remembers but yesterday I said I would start cleaning up the list of info that comes out of Chu.

This is a little bit of everything. I'm mostly sticking to, what we don't know yet and info from unofficial releases.

There are going to be three different categories for the sake or staying organized. There is a lot of shit. Here is the first one.

wah wah wah

>AI responsible for all the world's conflict
We can only have so many Metal Gear references. I would hope it's a sort of an a-political organization that controls and manipulates the world. What their agenda is would remain to be seen but I like the secret society angle

Why the fuck is Blizzard focussing on stupid shit like highlights? They should be balancing their game so that OWL doesn't end up being a complete shitshow where people only play 6 heroes.

>buy a smurf account

>throw down to 3000
>try to stay as close to 3000 as I can
>if I get someone on my team who is one win away from diamond, I pick mei and wall in my teammates or take mercy and do nothing
>right click prefer this player
>put their name in a notepad file on my second monitor
>if they're on my team again, I throw
>if they're on the enemy team I say hello to them, go tracer, and carry

Had some guy on my team last night who said he was so excited he was finally going to get to diamond, ended up in the same game with me 4 times in a row and he ended the night at like 2650.

Yeah you never hook first in Hog duals, enemy hogs would always try to M2 me and then hook first but youre always left with some HP.

Le troll'd XD

wow ur so cool user

xdddd
neet bux well spent

>he's either autistic enough to actually do this
>or autistic enough to make up such an elaborate fantasy
Either way this is just sad.

Post sad characters holding glasses

i'm sorry your father molested you as a child and your mother said it was your own fault

I hate the idea that Blizzard is spending good amounts of time and resources to develope more 2CP maps.

I'm guessing it will be AIs rather than "the Illuminati", because the latter often has aspects of ritual magic associated with it, and that doesn't seem to jive with the OW world.

I haven't played MGS games, but I love Shadowrun's lore, and there's plenty of AI stuff going on in that game's background.

someone post the widowmaker nigger remix

theres no fucking way i'm going to be able to bear playing any of these current arcades for the lootboxes

give me my fucking duel blizz you shits

So if Reaper has been around well before Overwatch was disbanded, and presumably before Reyes "died", it's probably safe to say that the Reaper identity is a mantle/ability/power passed down similar to the Doomfist.

However unlike the Doomfist, it's probably some irreversible transformation/curse. Something that Talon may be behind, if Talon has been around as long as Reaper has

Line of Sight checks in Rea

i can see this being real, i always threw last season if i had someone in my team who was 1 win away from GM and had not yet reached GM that season

gets people mad as fuck lol

>barely see any other dps get kills
>half way in our match someone switches off healer
>great, 1 off tank and 5 dps
>ask politely if someone could switch to healer
>lol you do it

you know I am pretty sure we would have lost if I did switch to a healer. Only the off tank and the original healer did shit that game.

2 0 G O R I L L I O N D O L L A R S

reaper is the mask
it binds to someone and amplifies their hatred or some shit
that explain why reyes / reaper is such an asshole

I mean I like to think an Illuminati type organization can exist in Overwatch without elements of the occult. It's just like a vast conspiracy-type thing.

>purposely obnoxious designs that are no-fun-allowed are tolerated because "they're not op"

A sensible quality of life change from /owg/?! Quick, put this on the Blizz forum and it might actually get put in

Sure. I'm talking only on how I feel about "the Illuminati".

But tell us your version. Who are they, what do they do, what are their motives and end goals?

Why is ranked so fucking horrible

Unironically though, is the game dying? Every time I look on Twitch it has 24,000 viewers at best. Most of them are on 5 or so streams each with a couple thousand viewers, then the rest are all streams with a couple hundred or less.
PUBG consistently has over 100,000 viewers. Even fucking GTA5 is managing over 60,000 and that's a game that's been out for years and is incredibly boring to watch

>Unironically watching other people play videogames

>had an insane junkrat game with several youtube worthy moments
>wasn't recording
I wish we had the highlight feature already

So have you molested your first child yet? If you haven't you're fucking slipping user. Now get to it. Chop! Chop!

>judging a game's success by twitch viewership

legitimately kill yourself

Exactly one minute apart. Pure samefag coincidence

I think we should still know what the obvious badguys Talon 'wants' even if it is something as Chu-tier vapid as 'chaos ;)' before we get onto the conspiracy.
Why would I care about the puppetmaster if the puppets are shit to begin with?

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH GO IN GO IN GO IN GO IN GO IN
STOP PLAYING THE FUCKING CHOKE
WE COULD ENDED THE MATCH MINUTES AGO IF YOU STOPPED PLAYING THE CHOKE AND GOT ON POINT F U C K
