>The Summer Games 2017 event ends on August 28th ONE WEEK LEFT >last year's summer games items are back for regular pricing (1x), while new items are also available for event pricing (3x) >(the arcade reset was yesterday, go get your lootboxes) youtube.com/watch?v=2OWbGgGjdBk
>Highlights from an August 22 developer Q&A stream: - Plenty of super secret changes coming to the competitive system's back-end for Season 6 - Vague Mercy changes, not sure what, but they're specifically designed to make her less frustrating - D.Va rework: defense matrix lasts half as long, damage output is being buffed, shoot while flying, new ability (micro missiles) - They're aware of Mercy / off-meta mains gaming the SR system; back-end SR calculation changes coming... eventually - No solo-only queues or search preferences coming, but they're aware of how much the community wants it - Maybe map voting / rotation someday (once more maps are out) - See-through objective markers "soon"
neither do i but i don't go around saying it's the best shit ever and posting it all the time

Neither do pedos, but that doesn't make it right.

Do you lay awake at night getting angry because there's someone out there jacking off to something you dont like
Ethan Fisher

Kayden Gomez
I need Hunkrat
Alexander Turner
no but i get mildly annoyed whenever people spam their garbage porn every thread and claim it's some masterpiece
Matthew Anderson
>Jacking off to SFM porn is the same as being a pedophile
Is that your argument?
Dominic Richardson
Can I get a quick rundown on what /owg/ thinks of the changes coming to season 6? I thought most of what he said was pretty good.
Cameron Ward
>it dawns on people that this was a horrible idea that shafts the best game mode you mean a great idea that makes the worst mode less shit?

Well, that argument worked against gay peop-

You're right my bad, the second worst game mode.

>>finally will be able to play comp again without brats throwing every match y'all know that the main thing kids do after school is play games right
Also, don't trust Oversumo's "placement" of your per-hero stats when you have so little playtime on them. It really inflates the placement. It'll start to become more reliable when you have multiple hours played on a hero.

Rip Overwatch for me.
I came to 2900 with Mercy with a win rate of 80 % easily.
Now I get matched with retarded who can't do damage and I'm now in Gold again... Blizzard has also made Mercy mains as good as impossible to climb anymore.
You get matched so you lose more than 50 % of you games and you lose at least 20 sr every time. Also the sr gain is capped at around 30. Which means that even in the best possible outcome you only get around 10 sr on average... But in some games you get stumped so hard, that you lose like 40 sr even if you give your best...
Now you can only climb as a damage dealer or if you have a carry as a Mercy out of elo hell. Blizzard knows exactly how to manipulate every match to make it impossible for you to get out of plat.
Yeah, I know every Mercy trick, how to balance between boost and heal, who to focus, where to hide, how to abuse the Mercy mechanics. I also get a lot 4 of 5 people resurections. Every time I play with an aggressive team who can aim I ALWAYS stump the enemy, but if the team can't aim and at least 3 people are don't knowing how to play their heroes, I can't do anything with Mercy.
Thanks to Blizzard putting me in the loser teams I have seen all. Pharah who can't hit shit. McCree who can't hit a flash banged Tracer... constantly! A Tracer who can only die. A Winston who shields before he jumps only to die after he lands. A Reinhardt who only holds his shield up. But the most common thing is a Dva FUCKING UP EVERY TIME YOU NEED HER FUCKING MATRIX (never protects against Pharah, Reaper, McCree ult). Also extremely common is a useless Ana who doesn't do shit and a Genji who rushes into the enemy just to die and only gets like one kill after he activates his ult. I forgot to mentions THIS WERE ALSO THEIR OWN MAINS: It's not like I talk about other Mercy mains who had to switch. I talk about people who are so retarded and came into plat but can't play their one trick at all.
Christopher Robinson
aw hell yeah dude
Jacob Harris
what are you even supposed to do when this happens
Nathan Young
I like how all the character's waves reflect them in a way but doomfist's doesn't at all

Kayden King
>less per end season reward. are you joking? that's the only time i get them why can't they just NOT tie a cosmetic currency to playing competitive, that's such an extremely bad incentive for both the people who want to play comp and the people who want the cosmetics

iirc they give out less per end season due to the season itself being shorter, as to why you get more per win. If your curious each season is 2 months instead of 3.
Lincoln Perry

This is not the worst general while /ksg/ exists
Colton Roberts
Yeah I know it dramatically inflates placements but I only use it as an sr/time played tracker. For what it's worth I play a mid-diamond Winston on console. I placed in plat this season on xbone. But I vividly remember gaining 81 SR FOR ONE WIN on pc after placements. I've known about sr boost after placements but never that ridiculous.
Tracer is very small, please only say nice things about her
Daniel Harris
SOON
Easton Long
looks like she disagrees
Andrew Scott
What do you mean? It's short, sharp and to the point.
Gavin Bennett
>give mercy a charge meter >the more full the bar is the better her damage boost is and the farther her ult can reach >at 0% they are only 1/3rd as effective and at 100% she functions exactly the same she does now there now mercy has to stay next to her team mates and you retards have no reason to not shoot and kill her before she gets a res and she can't just swoop in after dying to bring back the whole team if she dies first

Rev up that credit card and just buy 50 goyboxes.
Elijah Robinson
so what i got from this is that i have to hammer more bitches got it
Owen Morris
Basically, It's asking me to don't freeze tanks so my teamates can take them down.
It's asking me to don't shoot Reinhard shields for extra cheap damage considering I always reload before engaging
It's asking me to kill less people although what I do is just roam around the point trapping people out of place and taking them out, such as flankers and enemy D.Vas
Why does it make me feel it doesn't even know how Mei works

I got warned on last thread because I was talking about me sending Overwatch raping porn to my crush
Levi Perez
Sombra would look very cute pregnant!
Anthony Jenkins
On one hand, it probably thinks you're not playing grouped up ie. a mei who sticks with her team freezing people who get close is less likely to get solo kills On the other hand, playing a sort of flanker Mei killing off stragglers and (hopefully) staggering spawns well enough that they can never have a full push sounds better in a practical sense
Benjamin Torres
how 2 counter dive comp?
Brody Cooper
>widowmaker >increase objective time >reaper >get more kills >but get less solo kills and less objective kills
Mason Parker
wait until the blizzard sledgehammer comes through
Robert Sanders
Is it wrong that i'd honestly off myself if it meant I got to stick my dick into one of the overwatch girls
Mason Mitchell
Instead of fucking off trying to get sick potg, try grouping up and protecting your healers
Camden Perez
What's the point of placement matches again?
Alexander Flores
they shouldn't exist every season, there should be a single set of placement matches and then you don't have to do them ever again and just win/lose it's not like placement matches actually change your mmr more than other rounds, there's no point to them
