/owg/ - Overwatch General

I found out that Mercy and Roadhog mains are some of the saltiest people in this community.
I guess that kind of people flocks to the easiest characters, eh?

I wanna date Tracer!

you posted this last thread, user

You better be a cute redheaded girl(female)

You posted this already, baka

>Play good heros my team needs and win
>Minimal SR gains because they are good heros and have higher stat expectations
>Play shit heros my team doesn't need and get carried
>Gargantuan SR gains because lel throw heros have shit stats

Why am I punished for trying to win? I am having an easier time climbing dicking around as torb than I am with my 61% winrate lucio.

This is how their summer date event ended. But that's obvious enough.

Well I'm posting it again.
The best part is that this is the Mercy main's profile pic. You can't make this shit up.

>15 SR away from next tier right before season ends

time to go on a losing streak

How was this not broken again?

You got it!
I believe in you!
What tier are you trying to reach?

It's almost like she's doing her job by tanking and blocking damage...

Well now she wont have to worry about that, she can bomb a nigga instead of deleting his attack. Offense is the best defense after all

>Right click removes people's ability to play the videogame

>To compensate, we'll make Dva genji instead

You could have just let her walk and fire or some shit but they gave her fucking micro barrage instead.

>guy calls himself a smurf
>threatens to beat me up after lying about having gold stats
>actually a plat shitter
>says "YOU CAN SWALLOW MY CUM BITCH CUNT" all over again
>hes from the UK

not even surprised

>D.va absorbed so many barrages that they've melded with her

When are they going to put a fucking scoreboard in all the modes? I'm tired of these shitty tanks/healers/dps not doing their job and then when I say anything they call me a shit player. Then when I point out I have 3-4 gold medals they say "suuuuuure." These people should never be able to open their mouths. Or when kids say "I'm doing my job, I have gold elims!" No you don't you little nigger. I have gold elims. But they can keep lying because there's no scoreboard.

There is literally a character in this game who says "scoreboard" as a voice line and there's no scoreboard even though it would prevent so much weasely bullshit from bitches.

She can do that and not delete the ability of people to do anything.

FUCK COMPETITIVE,
FUCK THIS GAME,
AND FUCK YOU!

>Tracer deletes 200 HP nigh instantly
>Genji's various dash combo bullshit
>Doomfist existing
>Dva is now roadhog for no reason
>76 still does ridiculous damage
>Reaper killing everything in 3 hits at best
>Mercy melting tanks as valkerie every 30 seconds

The TTK in this game is out of control. You are either at full health recieving 15 different healing sources or you're dead as fuck.

>There is literally a character in this game who says "scoreboard" as a voice line
What did she mean by this? The Dva voiceline is just... there. Disconnected. Or is it some gamerlingo I'm not familiar with?

A Reinhardt being there would have done the exact same thing. Stop being a shitter.

I'll be your tank buddy!

why do lucios complain that they have gold elims

when I have gold elims on lucio we win because that means we rolled everyone and I can boost around and participate in kills

Id say 76 is in an okay position and Dva was aswell before PTR happened.

I heal mainly and its just getting more difficult each patch especially since people discovered dive comp. I honestly want to play more Ana but im rather sick of not being able to heal my teammates because theres a giant bubble and harambe sitting in my face which blocks all the healing.

>we'll make Dva genji instead
?

The top three saltiest playerbases in this game are Mercy, Roadhog, and Genji, in that order. Mercy players are so bad that even though their character received a massive buff that effectively makes her the most powerful healer in the entire history of the game, they actually got "Mercy" trending on Twitter with their crying because now they can't hide all match waiting to res.
Hog mains are somewhat justified in their crying because their character has been continuously nerfed into irrelevance, but at the same time a large portion of them seem to just be genuinely terrible people who get angry at the drop of a hat and have the worst BM of anyone. They used their oneshot as a crutch and can't do anything without it, and are unable to adapt because they autistically played only Hog like a DPS version of Mercy mains. Not all of them, but so many it's disturbing.
Genji mains seem to believe that their character is 100% perfectly balanced and will complain for literal days if any part of his kit is changed. At one point he had three jumps and when it was toned down to 2 jumps they acted like he was completely worthless now, even though Genji remains the top DPS pick at every tier and he still has two jumps and an air dash, which nobody else has.

Runner up: D.Va mains, who are mostly obnoxious for who knows what reason almost to the level of Hog mains.

Thanks, but I think I'm done with comp for a while

this tbqh

I think it's supposed to be short for "top of the scoreboard," which is something she says randomly. But it doesn't make sense because there's no fucking scoreboard.

ster said it now everyone's repeating it

They aren't, both Jeff and Geoff have made it clear they don't believe a scoreboard fits the game and give weak excuses like they don't know how to score some things.

>We want players to be able to look at the scoreboard and go, "I know who's performing really well, and I know who's not." If we just make it about kills and deaths, it doesn't tell the complete story of who's doing well and who's doing not.
>"We'll make it all about the objective. Who's on the payload and whose capturing points? Who not capturing points? Who's killing people on the payload and who's not killing people on the payload?" But we have characters like Tracer and Genji in the game who are really unique in how Overwatch is played, and sometimes the absolute right thing for Tracer to be doing is to be off on her own, completely away from the objective or completely away from the team, harassing other players who are running back from the spawn
>So we we basically stopped displaying any form of scores, kills, deaths because it really wasn't telling the story of who was doing their job properly to win or lose as a team. And really, what it's all about is, "Did you win or lose as a team?" None of that other stuff really matters at the end of the day.

>DM is the same as Reinhardt Shield

Not even close. There is counterplay to his shield. DM just deletes nearly anything.

Relies on instant burst combos to do damage.

Genji and Tracer are just too safe. You can dive in and get out with impunity.

>Right click removes people's ability to play the videogame
>No one likes this

>delete the ability of people to do anything
Fucking use the time that she's doing nothing to your advantage to get in a better position, reload, use any of the abilities that ignore matrix etc. Or fire into it anyway so she's forced to continue using it. Or change/have someone change to one of the characters whose primary fire ignores matrix.

Contrary to popular belief, there's more to Overwatch than just shooting, and stopping you from shooting things in a specific place for a few seconds at a time at most is not "removing peoples ability to play the video game". If you think Matrix is "deleting your ability to do anything" then you're seeing the game as nothing but shooting.

>Oh no, I actually have to spend some time thinking about something that isn't shooting

in b4
>"But it's an FPS"
If that's your mentality, why not play one of the thousands of FPS that are designed like that then?

>Reinhardt is there
>body blocks Zen
>stops Soldier from doing damage

>D Va there
>body blocks Zen
>stops Soldier from doing damage

>muh counterplay
yeah ok

is it really a combo if you can use 3/4 of your abilities at once?

But they have the medal and card shit. So they can already track a billion things. How hard would it be to just have a board where you could see the medal stats compared to everyone else? This is basic shit. They're a billion dollar company.
Like just the fact they have the medals and cards invalidates this whole "durrrr yur a team lol" shit since it is directly rating you against other members of your team. If anything the scoreboard would improve teamwork because now people have to be serious to show the rest of their team they aren't a shitter, and you won't be able to hide it or bullshit excuses about having medals you don't have.
I fucking hate Jeff and Geoff.

>Shield takes damage and depletes

>DM deletes everything.

Yup

Yes. Flight+boop+gun spam+rockets is really reliable in deleting 200 hp characters and you can matrix stall long enough to get flight back and gtfo. It's even easier when you're being supported by harmony.

>Trying to climb out of Bronze.
>Enemy Genji just walks passed our Winston and Rein and attacks backline.
>Tell them to help.
>They tell me to pick Winston.
lol wat

Maybe. Does she already say "Highscore!" or something like that? Because that would make more sense anyway.

Must suck to be in plat+, think i'll stick down here in gold where tracer and genji might as well be throw picks.

Glad for the Dva changes. I play her but she is a pivotal element of the boring ass dive comp. Also I welcome the return of aggressive Dva.

I meant that combos are usually ability 1 -> ability 2 -> ability 3.
D.va can boost, shoot rockets and matrix/use her fusion cannons at the same time

And DM is on a timer while Reins shield isn't, even moreso the timer part now with these changes. Even if you held it down for its whole 4 seconds in its current state, its going to take around 12 seconds for it to get back to full.

Soldier wouldn't have been able to deplete the shield on his own like in that webm.

>Shield needs to take 2000 fucking damage before depleting and he can bring it back up instantly if he drops it before it breaks

>DM only lasts for 4 seconds assuming she even has it fully charged and has a 1s cooldown before reactivation

Nope

GM here

Genji is broken.

Except Rein cant fly and get up there
Thats actually pretty huge

What's the best way to improve accuracy? I've been practicing with Ana bots but maybe there's a better way.

Shield has 2000 HP and takes the same time to charge completely, while DM can negate an infinite amount of damage.
DM is just flat-out better in its current state.

Dive Comp is why I think Matrix changes needed to be made, but I don't think a shift to aggressive D.Va and a move away from Matrix play entirely was the right choice.

Visualization of how much charge is left visible to the enemy team (like Reins barrier cracking), and a smaller general size of the matrix area would have both gone a long way towards making Matrix less stifling and much less "frustrating" to play against, while not shifting her playstyle too much. But I was always happy with current live D.Vas playstyle but it seems tons of people want her to be aggressive more.

Playing the game. All I do is warm up in the Practice Range for like 5-10 minutes and then play and my aim has steadily improved.

I'll do QP as well

>use any of the abilities that ignore matrix etc

None of the heroes that have abilities that ignore matrix are good.

Mei, Sym Roadhog and even Zarya are too immobile and shit to be good enough against dive comp. So Dva goes un-countered.

Same reason Winston is so prevalent: His best counter (Reaper) is too shit to play, so he doesn't get countered.

floofy pup

They're the best, aren't they?

>DM is less bullshit than Rein shield

yeah I like how Reins shield eats ultimates for free and how he can fly around to deny them

I literally said it here before Ster did

But yeah he's right. In function they're the same hero. Ultra mobile close range damage heroes with long range damage options and defensive "Fuck over your enemy team's damage that even fucks over ultimates"

The fact that Dva has 400 more hp is largely irrelevant when Genji's tiny hitbox practically works as the equivalent of the extra ehp

>tfw only cared about getting Amelie's new skin
>got it
Good event

>sitting at 2,950 coins
>still no Côte d'Azur skin
>keep grinding boxes
>never get any duplicates for coins
>never get any more coin drops
>then this happens

I want to be mad.

I don't want that ugly ass skin, take it back

Gay AND canon!

If you have no reason to be mad why don't you be happy instead?

She uses a combination of her abilities in quick succession, they just go off all at once

Activate rockets, boosters, fly at someone, shoot them

Genji M2s, melees, dash.

Then GenDva press's Deflect Matrix as they back off safely from their over extended kill then Jet Dash Boosters away to safety

Glad to see the direction they're taking Dps heroes. A tool for every situation and always a way to get out of risky plays.

>Meanwhile Reaper jogs at you from a mile away with 0 mobility tools

That looks like a plush animal, that pupper is actually alive?

Rein's shield has literally been power creeped out of the meta. Thats the current absolute state of balance

>and takes the same time to charge completely
So does DM.

>while DM can negate an infinite amount of damage
With the downside being that it only lasts 4 seconds. DM doesn't substitute a main tank. Play D Va with no other tanks and a competent enemy team and you're going to get your shit pushed in if they even remotely focus you.

Not really. If Rein is on low ground the rest of his team can drop low ground and hide behind his shield.

That's not an issue with Matrix though, that's an issue with those heroes being weak. Improve those, don't just remove Matrix from play.

But even then, you're ignoring Doomfist, Sombra, Reinhardt, Winston and Zenyatta who all have elements that significantly contribute to dealing with Defense Matrix either by shutting it down (Sombra) or having functions that ignore it (Doom, Zen).

>for free
Stop ulting into a function that you know can eat ults. Work around it - de-mech her first. Ultimates are not a free win button, you can and should have to create plays where they work, not just be able to run into a team, press Q and win.

If you're Tactical Visoring into a full charge of Matrix, rethink the situation that got you there and why the fuck you did it then in the first place.

yeah its name is mashed potato i think

Alive and well.
Also fluffy as fuck.

>Self-Destruct
>Earthshatter
>Tac Visor
>Deadeye

wow yeah you're right, better give Reinhardt missiles because he's just a barrier bot that forces chokepoint battles and stops anyone from doing anything

...

>see people cry about pharah
>95% of the time they're plat or below

Always makes me smile.

>Deadeye
>Tac Visor
>Graviton surge
>Whole hog
>Dragonstrike
>Blizzard
>Rocket Barrage
>Death Blossom
>Molten Core
>Configuration: Tank
>Timebomb
11/25 ults can be either completely negated or made useless with just one click.
But yeah, let's argue that DM, an ability that shapes the current meta, is worse than a similar ability that is in no way meta at the moment.

>Enemy takes high ground
>Enemy is at huge advantage rein cant do anything about

>Enemy is at High ground
>Dva flies up there
>Cock blocks enemy
>Removes advantage

Even if, in a vacuum, shield and dm were equal in power

DM is still on a hero with more health, and the ability to fly on a very shoot cooldown.
It doesn't make sense

nobodies saying DM is less bullshit than Reins shield, but people wont shut up their screeching about how DM is "more bullshit" even when they were complaining more about her having a lot of armor for health and her weapons doing more damage before understandably toning her down, but nah DM was the least of worries there.

Reins shield will be useful 95% of the time when ults aren't a factor and its normal firing of weapons, his shield can still deny a chunk of ults like self-destuct, tactical visor and earth shatter easily while also having a broader view of a situation because of the third person view, thats a big upside especially with the change to come where he can look behind him and act quickly for as long as he wants.
D.va's DM will only be against a handful of ults like Reins shield just with different conditions and the rare situations where a lot of spam is coming out that you can get value out of the "unlimited damage" you can soak with it but with far less effective time so you need to react and use it wisely.

They will give him rockets before they fix that.

their netcode must be fucked up when it comes to projectiles cause i got killed by a genji dash after I killed him with a headshot

>Doomfist

Jury's still out on whether he's good or not. After hitbox nerfs Im guessing not

>Sombra

Not good enough on her own to justify her pick. Just a meme pick on certain defense points etc.

>Winston

In every game ever anyway but his cannon does fuck all to dvas armour

>Rein

Again, not good enough to see play because no mobility and gets pulled apart by dive

>Zen

Sees a fair amount of play but Discord does nothing if nothing substantial hits her anyway
