Here comes T.Racer!

Jeff still thinks McCree is an anti-flank lmao.

>play ranked, it's better
>the only constant is you
>just carry your team

thanks guys, this is the fourth game in a row with people flaming the team, absolute shit picks, griefing etc

I normally don't get angry at videogames but in one game there was a genji who started trash talking minute one and kept flaming me because I wouldn't heal him after he dashed and went far behind enemy lines, and I got so mad at him I almost broke my wall

I must have reported 15 people just today

Friendly reminder if doomfist right clicks you lose the game unavoidably.

BLOO

hey guys, i'm back. am i still allowed to mei post? it's fine if not, i had my fill last thread.

OW is extremely unfun to watch.
Hearthstone is probably more fun to watch streamed than to play.

Daily reminder that trolling is the only way to enjoy this shitty game

Bastion
Zarya
Junkrat
Roadhog
Lucio
Symmetra
D.Va

These characters have nothing to do with the main overarching story of Overwatch, nor do they have any personal ties related to anyone in Overwatch or Talon.

Will they at some point actually be relevant? Or are they doomed to just be window dressing to the big story players like Soldier, Ana, Widowmaker etc.

>teammate spams "I NEED HEALING"
>Mercy is too busy jerking off in a corner and waiting for her sick 5-man res
>drop biotic field
>faggot continues to spam "I NEED HEALING" instead of walking into the field

imagine caring about overwatch lore

>new short is most likely gonna be about junkrat and roadhog
>could be about pharah instead
>wildcard: it's about torb

that "the only constant is you" is the core of it, but it's a fact that some games, your contribution is not what decides whether you win or lose. some games are uncarriable, and some games are free wins. admittedly, there's not much you can do about games like your pic. just bear in mind that you'll play games where that shit happens to the enemy team, and try and maximize your own contribution.

>still playing ov*rwatch

C9 is getting fucked.

god what is wrong with emily's face in that panel

i know kissing is hard to draw but she's like in the middle of an animorphs transformation into a horse

it's like you dont even want to enjoy the game

>gold

Is this bait?

Why are you people even here?

Can someone give me a rundown on how to play Sombra effectively? I toss the tele, stealth, go to their backline and start to hack and am instantly dead before it goes off. How do you guys get hacks off?

shitting on the game duty for free

The best is when someone on the enemy team salt-picks Pharah to mirror match with me. I feel like out of all the dps characters, I've gotten a good amount of value from her.

Let me ask you this, /owg/.

Do you have good aim? If the answer is no, then do you main tank or support because of this? If you did have good aim, would you honestly still want to main tank or support?

Why do so many people sperg out about DPS players when the game is fundamentally designed around the role? It's a first person shooter. I understand if maybe you can't aim very well, but why be bitter towards those who can? Everyone seems to think that DPS players are the most 'toxic', but I've been around plenty of tank/support players that screech at the team for not doing well. If you can't aim and thus relegate yourself to the easier roles then you're not better than anyone. I appreciate healers and I appreciate tanks, but I cannot stand shitters that think they are superior for what boils down to being unable to play DPS.

Flex players are the ones doing the truly thankless job. Thank you, silent Anas, Zens, Zaryas, D.vas. I see your 20+ hours on Genji and Tracer with >60% win rate. They lose more SR than they deserve to.

t. Tank main

my left thumb hurts.

Bastion is Torbjorn's pet now so take it back.

I WANT A REINHARDT TITTYPAD

I really wonder how many (you)s you gave to a single person with this post.

top 5 cancerous heroes

1) mercy
2) hanzo
3) widowmaker
4) actually those are the only ones i have any issue with
5) hee ho

What are you on about? Her face is behind Tracer's so you can't actually see it.

holy fucking shitter kyb

Gotta love the reap beans

>shitty triple kill
>commentators go crazed over it
You could hear how faked their excitement was, being paid to comment on OW tournament plays must suck.

Also lol C9.

You are late.
You are getting this now.

>he doesnt have a dedicated troll account just to piss shitters off

Symm is fucking aids. Throws her shield and then slow runs at you behind it while her gun locks onto you from 40 yards away. Also the troll Symms in comp that put a tele next to a cliff

I think the problem is that alot of times, the people who solely play DPS are just dumb. It might just be my elo or because I'm a console shitter, but I've gotten in matches more times than I'd like where the DPS makes or breaks the team. Or we just have an overbundace of them on a team.

What would you do to Hana (Age 6) and Sombra (Age 17)?

You know exactly what I would do.

>he doesn't has a dedicated internet connection just to shitpost on various generals

turn 360° and walk away

realest post ive seen in this general in a long while, i salute you

Drop them off at school and wish them a great day.

>When Torbjörn has had enough of your shit

What a guy, I can tell you play Reinhardt

I wish Sombra had thair haircut in-game.

why playing tank is so fuckin boring

>watch overwatch e-sports
>two d.va's holding m2 while the winstons hold m1

I can see why they're asking $20 million for a spot.

>see symm
>run towards her?
>gets killed.

it's literally your fault for dying to a sym.

wasnt kyb a tank player

You're reliant on your team.

Things I may regret later

There's no reason for the distance to unlock to be longer than to lock on, it's fuken bullshit

>jimbenator playing junkrat
>enemy winston jumps him
>"uh, doomfist is... um, i mean..."
that freudian slip

>C9 has five ults and they still lose

>white guy has white club
>black guy has black club

Uhm racist much Boston P.D.?! baka

Yes there is, because if it wasn't you could literally backpedal when you saw her and take 0 damage while you pepper her with your obviously inaccurate shots, since you have trouble killing her now, and not be punished at all for fucking up.

Too true my dude. Although flex can be an exercise in frustration a lot of the time. If I could pick my hero every game, I'd be on Genji and have a lot more fun (and probably win more too) than I do right now, but I don't mind playing Zen or whatever else is needed. I'd rather do that than listen to some autist screech for me to get off "his" hero.

What I don't get are the creatures that scream and shout for DPS, but then blow absolute horse cock at it. You'd think they would realize they're the problem eventually. At least I can just go play Q3 if I want to frag.

play video games with dva and fug sombra

On top of all of this, the game is fundamentally rigged against DPS. It's a game built for people that don't regularly play FPS, and ironically the average regular FPS player is the one that's going to have the roughest time.
Overwatch punishes bad aim more than any other shooter simply because whatever damage you do can be completely undone right after you do it if you don't finish the kill and because of multiple defensive and mobility abilities, missing a window can spell doom for your team. You don't even particularly have to have bad aim. Everyone misses every once in a while, but if the shot you do miss is the one that decides whether your team wins or loses you'll catch hell. And that happens far more often than I'm comfortable with. Unless you're a god compared to everyone else in the match, you simply cannot carry a game on your own back by shooting anything less than perfect. And frankly it's a bit ridiculous. You'd have an easier time solo carrying in Dota.

>when you shit on the enemy team and they get their act together, ending up with a better composition than your team and you don't know how to effectively counter them

>you'd have easier time solo carrying in a game where pure stat advantage enables you to 1v5

Yeah, no shit.

I wanna ____ Tracer.

I'm not talking about raw skill -that's generally not a problem - just people griefing or refusing to play with the team

The same game having a plethora of countermeasures and comeback mechanics. And yet still it's easier.
Overwatch just doesn't allow you to overperform. There's an maximum of what you as an individual can do, that maximum being frighteningly easy to hit, but if that's not enough then it's a fruitless effort. And that's why this game is so goddamn frustrating. ALL of the cogs MUST be working, or at least working better than the enemy team, but you can't bet on the enemy team being worse.

OW as a spectator experience is too boring and predictable. Bunch of mirror or near-mirror comps where each team keeps poking until they get ults then a bunch of people Q on the point.

Getting out of Gold/Platinum is most definitely about luck. While Diamond is like you said all about which team has fewer angry retards who throw and get toxic. Some people argue that the only true skill based promotion is GM to Top 500.

This is so EZ for Misfits that they're not even running Lucio and just playing around and dancing.

They make you believe that they are creating a fun game with very interesting characters due to marketing to get you to buy the game, while allotting minimal actual resources in doing so.
The result is that a lot of people are disappointed and frustrated while Blizz is getting richer and richer and at the same time every one of us/you will still buy the next thing they market.
Pretty good ordeal.

Platinum is the definitive Elo Hell. There's too many players there - and it's a too often a dice roll who wins - so it's extremely difficult to "shine out". Being better than average isn't enough, you need to be clearly better AND be lucky.
