They like the style and it's a very approachable game. In a Famitus poll Overwatch was voted as their favorite fps.

How in the fuck do you counter Doomfist in Total Mayhem? Its fucking impossible

>Drawing ugly because you're ugly

You're gonna need to substantiate some of those claims dude.

>This is no fucking Counter Strike where you can solo carry with ease. In Overwatch you need the help of your team to win.
Yeah. I was doing a write-up on how different Overwatch and TF2 after hearing so many people say they're similar and that's one of the biggest differences/problems I have with Overwatch.

Sombrero.

Post more from this set

>mini pharah ult every 8 seconds

More like drawing ugly so you can virtue signal by pretending you think it's aesthetic.

Did... did you mean to post that image, user?

Pharah is THICC

B&

Mommy.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT FACE?????

Is it weird for me to call Widowmaker mommy?

I want Rein user #2 to get a tiddy pad

Offer him your women

It's more similar to orisa gun but shoots missiles instead of pellets.

It's actually both of these reasons at the same time.

...

What the fuck is going on with that face? What the fuck, it looks like melted cheese.

I really wish I could see these images instead of the fucking previews.

Ew

Oh boy i love it when Blizz backfills you into a losing match with 10 seconds on the clock and threatens you if you try to leave

>ana lands sleep on mccree.gif

Her look's fine, if lesbian Sora and thot patrol-chan can be considered cute, I don't see why she doesn't.

Her personality is pretty much what a neutral good character is. Nothing too wrong with that. Quite similiar to Mercy's, Winston's and Tracer's. She just has different hobbies.

I, however, think unironically that characters like Mei irl could seriously save us in future. I do sinceresly admire scientist and engineers. Although I'm not planning to become one in future.

user, I know how you feel, I was like that back then, but I'll tell you what: git gud.

I carried LOTS of games as Mei. I put lots of effort on learning that character. I spent my time learning how to don't mess up. Through time I learnt how to engage, how to stick with my team, how to flank, which enemies you have to focus, anything like that. You can actually solo carry in this game if you put lots of effort.

Winston is fucking easy and probably the best character to carry with. If you struggle, then looks like you aren't focussing their healers.

You know, characters who need to engage and such have priority targets to take down. If you aren't doing so then you can't expect to carry, but to be carried.

Strong players have potato PCs user. I know lots of Masters who play at 60 fps with everything low and render scale 75%. Gaming PCs are for those rich kids who just want to look cool but are stuck in bronze

Mei cinematic is cute, gives a stronger sense of identity to the character

How unsightly

I can't stop staring at her right arm, it's horrific.

Post Fareeha

...

Is Mei/Winston canon now after this short?

Worst game
Worst community
Worst general

What the hell is this from and what's the context?

Mei had a thing for the Ecopoint commander.

Is the constant gay posting some kind of organized trolling, or is this general actually full of fat tumbler girls?

Did you get the skin you wanted?

how do people not grasp at this point that sombra is mandatory in that mode

Now this is a post I can get behind.

They almost interacted, so yes

It's full of homosexual men.

Considering that one thread where some girl went on about representation in video games, probably the latter.

>redshirt is the only that survives.

Is this intentional, or is Veeky Forums's image uploading shitting the bed again?

Tracer is small, Please only say nice things about her

don't worry about it

REDSHIRT PRIDE STATION WIDE

Its organised by tumblr fags. Theres at least three of them that do it around the clock.

Tracer is annoying.
Because she's good.

This bomb's for you

this artist ships them

How's Tumblr reacting to Mei not being fat?

Sombra is literally an anchor for Total Mayhem. Without her
>heroes never die
>heroes never die
>heroes never die
>heroes never die
>heroes never die
>heroes never die

If we assume that the data Ecopoint was collecting was being collected at the station, or near by, then we can place Ecopoint at around 400 kilometers away from the nearest (currently known) station at the South Pole.

that's a hell of a hike in those conditions with just a dufflebag of supply.

Honestly, not bad.

What is that see-through objective markers about? What objective markers? Why do they need to be see through?

This is D Va.

So far I have all the new legendaries except the one I want: Widowmaker's.

>Banana skins everywhere
>He clearly says that he does NOT want a banana

Wow shit art.

obnoxious cunt

Widow likes her small.

>complaining about free exp

hot

First time doing this event. Got EVERYTHING but Tracer's voice line and 4 skins (legendaries).

mei can eat banana as well

This. Apparently it's going to take Blizzard months to maybe get it done.

That's clearly fake.
D.Va's cock is barely 3 inches

Talked about
The ones over the objective
They're opaque so it can be hard to see enemies on some maps where you travel upward to get to the objective (Nepal Shrine is the most obvious offender)

Is it racist to assume that WInston wants a banana?

But she's a fat fuck who only eats chinese hamburgers or whatever.

>months

are you fucking serious?

I want Mei to dominate me!

I don't even know why do they bother paying Chu at this moment, I've seen more complex storymaking in a fucking porn fanfiction.

No, but you see Winston spaghetti because of she compliments his glasses.

One of those Mortal Kombat clones that came out in the 90's,this was from one of the stage fatalities.

thicc, not fat

EXP is great and all but I play video games to play video games, not pretend I don't have a crippling gambling addiction.

All they have to do is make the marker disappear when you're within, say, 50 feet of the objective (and your view of the point isn't obscured, maybe). Is that really so hard?

The anomaly is that 99% of blizzard audience is white adults mostly males.
But their cinematics are for 5 year olds.

They need to add the voice lines for specific character kills to the taunt list. I could have a lot of fun with "Stupid monkey"

Which System do you guys play on?
strawpoll.me/13775296

Those that are close to Winston know that he has to eat them, his diet is all out of whack and he needs more potassium

>>no abilities used
>implying

It's a "fatality" from a fighting game called Eternal Champions.

Yeah, all Mercer said is they're aware of the issue and they'll try to address it "some day"

I didn't even think of this. Great place for a sniper

Where is ecopoint in the map?

...

Right now, there's a giant icon that sits over an objective like a capture point and turns red or blue depending on whether you're supposed to attack or defend it. It is opaque.
If there's an enemy standing on the point and they're lined up with the icon, the icon overlay will block your view of the enemy.
High-level players and pros notice this and complain about it a lot more than average players do, but it can fuck up anybody if it gets in your way and blocks something that you wish you'd seen coming.

The devs said they'd introduce some transparency options soon, semi-transparent and totally transparent. Like with the opacity sliders in the new crosshair options.
Really, at this point, we all know where the fucking point is. We know where to go and what to cap. Transparent makes sense for a lot of us.

I swear that I already saw a webm showing this feature off, so I thought it was already an option, but it might've actually been someone modding in order to go, "hey, devs, look how useful this would be if it was legit."

Who the hell is chu?

glorious lead writer of blizzard entertainment

Professional fanfic writer

Lead writer for Overwatch.

its fanmade

the line for the radar would be the general location of Ecopoint, if their data collection was actually being done at the base or within a reasonable distance thereof.

He's the lead writer for the Overwatch team, he's the main responsible for the story and lore of the game

>I swear that I already saw a webm showing this feature off

I am just doing some QP to get some mechanical skill and general game sense down but 2 hours or so in and I have had maybe 1 decent match.
Is this the general state of things. I've never played solo since this game came out.

Junkrat is a big guy

>No abilities used

She uses an ice wall to prop up the tower, dummy

What do you think about the new upcoming ability for D.va in exchange for nerfing her Defense Matrix?

Things we know so far that are subject to change:
Right now here are the stats:

Number of missiles: 18
Shots per second: 11
Explosion Damage: 8 (has damage falloff)
Impact Damage: 4
Radius: 1.5m (for comparison, Pharah's rockets are 2.5m radius)
Cooldown: 8s
The fire straight at 40m/s where your cursor is pointed over a period of roughly 1.6 seconds.
They have no spread.
They have an activation time from when you press the button to when it fires of around 0.5 seconds, similar to Mei's right click.
They don't stop D.va from moving or using any of her abilities. She can shoot, boost, DM, and fire her missle salvo. I doubt you can ult and fire the missles though.
They will also self-damage her if she gets close enough.
D.va will also be able to now shoot and boost simultaneously as well.
All in exchange of effectively cutting the DM uptime in half, from 4 seconds to 2 seconds.
