I WANT A REINHARDT TITTYPAD

what the heck is going on

bastion ult is very good and arguably better than tracer ult especially since he can get it almost as fast as her.

You do post stuff other than this throughout the rest of the thread, right?

#NotMyMercy btw

ONLY girls get to enjoy this booty.

Does mercy keep her skin-specific lines for rezzes?

Mercy mains on literal suicide watch after they found out their free SR no skill needed hide in the corner and press q hero is being reworked. Salt mines working overtime tonight, gotta call in the evening shift early

So how are they buffing Zen and Ana to validate having them in the game at all alongside Mercy.

>Game server connection failed... Retrying.

>yfw you're a hog main
>yfw all this mercy salt

lol

I spam cute dogs with actual discussion attached to them sometimes, yeah.

>Mercy changes will make Blue more important

How do we get them to increase character boob size

>these mercy changes will make others play her
>will give me chance to play deeps now
I'm okay with this.

Get ready to see even more pharah-mercy in low ranks. Better learn McReee

>widow is now being dived by dva, winston and mercy

Which DLC do I buy to stop being shot through walls and corners?

I too want that among other things!

Does anyone actually think that Mercy or D.va were in a bad enough place to make these changes?

The same DLC that has Solo Q.

DF matrix was totally not cancer

>Mercy mains on literal suicide watch after finding out that their sitty hero was buffed and is still braindead but they one trick shitter who can't even coinceive doing somethig different

I think the original nerf that cut Roadhog's balls off is the exact moment that this madness started. Roadhog was the gatekeeper that kept everyone else in check. When he died everything else just went fucking insane and now the game is absolute anarchy.

The faster internet Season Pass.

SAUCE ON THAT MERCY X PHARAH STRAP ON FUC, IMAGE P,EASE

>now being dived by dva, winston
>now
Nothing new in that. That fuckin monkey is everyfuckinwhere

Better Ping™ DLC
What other things?

Not really, but I guess Blizzard has a point that their gameplay wasn't perfect.

I played all support except mercy, cause I hating ducking and hiding all the time.

Don't know about the dva changes, she seems super strong now with her dps.

How would Nu-Mercy be on the uprising event?

PTR is the gift that keeps on giving

watch the developer video on it. they changed them not because they were weak but because of the complaint against the defense matrix and resurrect

More Rein SFM goodies

I said now because i added mercy to the list.

it was only 4 seconds long, was played around as easily as road's hook.

Fucking dps mains alway crying about not being able to solo everyone all the time.

D.va could have gotten just the matrix nerf and ability to fire with it up and still been played with a dive heavy comp. Mercy was literally anti-fun so something needed to be done about her ult.

Mercy? No. Yet at the same time this is a clear improvement (once the numbers are tweaked).

I really don't know why Mercy mains are so bothered. She's my most played, but I never really liked to just hide for the whole duration of a fight and wait out the ult. I like the sounds of the new playstyle much more. Very active. Also free flight sounds fun.

Now if only I could actually get online on the PTR.

this, roadhog wasn't a tank, so fucking what. He's a god damn assassin with 600 hp and blizz should put him in the dps slot.

He kept all the mercys, tracers, sombras, and other zippity boop flip & scoop heroes in check

>spend months learning McCree
>become a living aimbot, learn the perfect positioning because no escape skill, manage long cooldowns
>when you can play Mercy while high, keep your dick on M1 while beating your hean on shift and make it to grandmaster
Why bother?

That sounded... l-lewd.

D.Va was just not fun to play or play against because of matrix.

You don't have to create new heroes when you wipe the current playstyle of your heroes and reuse their assets.

>Widow now sees them coming with venom mine
>zips away from divers with a faster grappling hook
>zipping back and forth between vantage points to snipe even better

The stakes have been raised.

I hope they make a better model with an actual ass

So you guys kept complaining about how the overwatch team was not bringing stuff out fast enough.

Now what do you guys say?

Look on the bright side, the value of hooking mercy just skyrocketed

Mercy onetricks eternally BTFO?

>Rez change
>All these salty Mercy mains
>salt from Mei short yesterday
Thanks Blizz

Mercy Rez should have been single rez a long time ago

D.Va is find just needed balanced Matrix and buff D.Va Bomb Ult

Instead Blizz adds 20 extra meta warping options to new Mercy Ult and Dva is now a burst dmg Hero

Just Blizz doing Blizz things

Okay so

Get this

What if whenever D.Va ejects from her mech, she enters a special state called "Inazuma Kick Mode"

In Inazuma Kick Mode, the camera goes third person for a moment, and if D.Va lands on top of an enemy, she deals a damaging and stunning kick to them.

Ana still has the most burst healing and healing/character shutdowns as her kit. Zen is still the healer who only needs vague ans temporary line of sight for his heals and can shit damage down people's necks and boost his teammates' damage without interrupting his heals. They aren't going anywhere.
I still won't touch Mercy, but I'm happy about the change because it guarantees I won't get stuck with a Mercy who holds rez for eight minutes and fucks it up anyway.

>sfm/blenderfags will never get the mei model used in the short

Like the cursemarked 3D model

>doing placement matches
>old rank was plat
>enemy d.va on mech
>team reaper ults and gets rekt
>3 lost games after to another similar situation
>s76 ults with d.va staring at him with DM up

DPS mains are just idiots, i still wonder how they managed to install the game.

retarded

>salt from mei short
What salt was there? I didn't watch gamescomm live.

I hate these changes.

Not because I'm a Mercy player.

Because it's classic Blizzard balancing. I won't be surprised if her ult goes unchanged. It's like they couldn't decide what to buff so they just buffed EVERYTHING.

>no more terrible mercy mains that are dead weight when someone instalocks their precious crutch in master+ anymore

Back to gold with you fags.

>playing widow
>when im zoomed in all the time I can't ever get any shots
>when I zoom in after jumping and immediately shooting I become super accurate all of a sudden

Is this some kind of CoD style shit going on?

This is a big step in the right direction is what I say. If they keep this up maybe the game will be well designed soon.

>but I never really liked to just hide for the whole duration of a fight and wait out the ult
They do, most mercy did it since it was little to no risk for the highest reward.

Its hard and annoying as fuck to just get behind the enemy team unnoticed to just hunt for mercy. Half the time the winston or some dps will see you and focus you down since they know you're looking for mercy.

Ooh, can you give me a source?

DM being almost removed 2 months after Hog removal is not a coincidence.

TL note: inazuma means `rice plant wife'

I HAVE to have futa Mei pajama cock in my mouth

Great OP's, really.

is PTR having long queue times or is the login server down?

Mercy OP best OP.

DOES WITCH MERCY STILL SAY HER UNIQUE LINE WHEN SHE REZZES?

>the terrified look on widows as they have a floating killing machine chasing after them zip after zip and it's a fucking mercy

RIP widow, you took the monkey dick like a champ. Now you'll have to deal with mercy as well.

Yeah bu as Jeff said, it's extremely fast to charge and can be popped up whenever you want wherever you want. So the only way to pop up a decent ulti is to kill D.Va's mech first. Oh, and even if you manage to destroy D.Va and get some kills with your ulti Mercy will just fuck things up with her rez.

sOURCE

I meant bad enough as in impact on the game, not their own ability or whatever.

2 secs is not enough for DF, It should atleast have 3, if any change at all. If you're getting your ult swallowed or whatever by d.va, then you're popping it at the wrong time, you should be making D.va wear out her DF first.

>Mercy Rez should have been single rez a long time ago
If more than one character can 1 ult kill a full team, there's no reason 1 character shouldn't be able to 1 ult save a full team

Does that mean we can expect some reworks for the more boring heroes in the game?

Consensus on Mercy rework?
Never lurk any OW forums, but figure you guys would be the most honest.
Are mercytards butthurt or happy?

Swimsuit Widow or Goddess Mercy?

>dumb whores crying about being forced to actually do something
Jesus christ is it that hard to pull out your shitty gun and aim? Fuck it, make Mercy a true DPS, no more healing staff bullshit, just a gun.

>Mercy going from team babysitter to battle medic

I saw too many bad battle medics in TF2. Hopefully her new useless ultimate makes Mercy show up less often.

Widow

Bad Mercy mains hate it.
Everyone else likes it

Just salt over the fact that so little of any substance actually happened in it. Basically nothing was revealed story-wise, either.
People wanted something to advance the plot, but instead they were treated to five minutes of staring at a fat, boring character who's oblivious to the point of being borderline-retarded as she does absolutely nothing and yammers about it in barely-fluent English.

>to battle medic
battle medic getting nerfed already

In theory I really like it but (as Geoff has acknowledged) her pistol does too much damage. Tweak some of the numbers like Ult length and healing range and I think it will be quite good.

Do you like high skill level heroes or braindead sluts who just hide all the time in the backlines holding m1 down? Anyway Mercy has quite a lot of good skins, while Widow has only this and the anniversary one.

Ayy thanks

>instead of Mercy resurrecting me she'll just fly around like a useless retard shooting the enemy team until she's easily sniped

wow great

>while Widow has only this and the anniversary one.
What about Noire?

>pharah AND mercy will be harder to kill as a result of this
>time for widow with her one shots to shine
>give an offensive buff to d.va who can make widow obsolete

This is only going to force people to play hitscan more which will lead to more fags that say "Hurr I have to carry the team myself i'm the only one i trust to kill pharah" as they get no pharah kills and 4 elims the whole game as mccree. One tricking is a huge problem and they just promote it with this shit.

>Orisa ults
>Mercy ults and damage boosts
>Nanoboosted

How many damage is this? Does boosts stack?

I'm personally happy. Long gone will be "GUYZ DIE TOGETHER PLX". And instead will just be another Zen let's push together alt.

>they were treated to five minutes of staring at a fat, boring character who's oblivious to the point of being borderline-retarded as she does absolutely nothing and yammers about it in barely-fluent English.

>i'm a bronze console peasant that can't deal with mei

>Mercy now has better flight capabilities than pharah
>"battle mercy" shit
Why though?

lul

It absolutely is, but god damn it would fit the mech fantasy so well.

>take the only thing that makes mercy useful
>and delete it
PEAK
BLIZZARD

>or braindead sluts who just hide all the time in the backlines holding m1 down
Wait, so are you talking about Widowmaker or Mercy here?
