>M E R C Y . R E W O R K >HIDE & SEEK GAME: CANCELLED >YOUR DUO-QUEUE WAIFU ACTUALLY HAS TO GIT GUD NOW >(also some D.Va stuff) Adjustments are already coming. Remember, this is PTR, not final. youtube.com/watch?v=vDlCqJ1tD3M
>Dev Q&A stream highlights: - Mercy / D.Va reworks (see above) - Lots of secret back-end changes for Season 6 - SR calculation changes coming eventually; no more gaming the system with off-meta one-tricks - No solo-only queues or search preferences coming (for now) - Maybe map voting / rotation someday - See-through objective markers "soon"
>Hana will never again be as strong as she was a year ago
Juan Barnes
I want to impregnate Genji!
Nathan Anderson
...
Joshua Campbell
>having to buy lootboxes >not just already having a credit mountain that builds faster than events can happen Top pleb.
Jayden Campbell
Here comes T.Racer!
Grayson Carter
Tracer (and all spelling variations thereof) is already here, see .
Yes, user, you want a cushioned mousepad themed after /besttank/, we know. We are well aware at this point.
Robert Carter
BLIZZARD THINK THEY'RE SLICK
Samuel Davis
>buy game a few months after the free weeken cuz i had cash to burn
>crack a lootbox that i had sitting on the acc from summer games (i guess)
>open it and get the new mercy skin
well. guess im lucky, you guys have any mercy tips?
Levi Thompson
You tried.
Connor Sanders
Wasn't the dab song 3 fucking years ago? Why is it still a thing?
Dylan Diaz
Not even landing a sleep on a winston who just jumped, making him fling himself across the map where none of your shitter teammates can tickle him awake?
Landon Brooks
>telling people they want mousepads of Genji
Ian Thompson
Genji is a tank now?
Jonathan Gray
kills you
Adam Adams
These custom overwatch general OP images are gay as fuck 2bh
Bentley Scott
Of course they do.
Jose Hill
In how many hours event ends, I want to know if i can get enough exp for last crate?
Benjamin Rogers
what time does the even end tomorrow?
Benjamin Carter
You got more than enough time to make maybe two to three if you don't take breaks.
Austin Barnes
My aim is true
Kevin Foster
I WANT A REINHARDT TITTYPAD
Owen Sanchez
They should rework scatter to some kind of melee move so I can stab niggers with my pointy ranged weapon and completely misuse the character.
Jack Hernandez
There are like 2 days left still.
Christopher Martinez
kys
Parker Jones
Yeah if you live in trumpland.
James Howard
What if they made a hero that's a crocodile? No anthro shit or any of that generic engineering nonsense, just a literal, regular crocodile that kills people by biting them and death rolling.
Nathaniel Martin
It ends at the same time all over the world.
Ian Long
chgamingtv
Cooper Williams
Unfortunately, that could cause problems for a Genji or Tracer, so we'll have to reject your idea.
Luke Martin
...
Jackson Perry
Can you imagine that fucker flanking you and biting your fucking leg, dragging you into a room full of his teammates?
What the fuck.
Aiden Gomez
>Group does not meet the requirements to queue for comp The fuck does that mean? There's no difference in skill rating.
Ryan King
hey man, you can stop forcing your meme now. you've been trying for quite a while.
Logan King
Any other Sombra mains?
Cameron Nelson
>Long range shield but gun is very close range >Can close distances with boosters but has a movement penalty on gun >Has a DPS hero's ultimate >Massive HP pool but effectively halfed due to central large head
>Is now getting Missiles. >Missles are a delayed and have travel time that you're expected to aim while aiming a close range shotgun >Missiles can hurt you at close range, the range your primary fire works
what is d.va's direction again.
Carter Morris
Being to popular to nerf but to strong to buff
Lucas Taylor
Apparently we are getting a prototype spectate-your-own-match system soontm along with eSports getting unique red/blue skins for heroes for attackers/defenders. Is it bullshit or not?
Those fuckers would outrun every hero in the cast. Though props where it's due, having a literal crocodile mawl and people around a payload would be fucking amazing and would make for a antiflank CQC hero the game needs. Would also be the most legit African hero in the game.
Anthony Jones
Mechanically she doesn't have one, it's just that Blizzard wanted to put in a gamer girl and a character that has an excuse to use internet slang and terminology.
Jacob Thompson
I WANT TITTYPAD user TO GET HIS TITTYPAD
Nathaniel Miller
I just noticed I've been playing for 2 hours and haven't gotten a single win. Why the fuck do I even play this game and ho the fuck am I still in high Masters. This SR system is totally fucked up
Matthew Hughes
only koth is fun desu
Jordan Brown
Nonesense, crocodiles don't have voicelines to (((sell))). It'd at the minimum need a text-to-speech collar/hat.
Sebastian Hughes
>what is d.va's direction again. She's supposed to disrupt what she will do with those changes, especially since she can use her mobility ability and shoot, which Winston for example was doing since all seasons.
They want her to go away from being that ult soaking annoying piece of shit she is and actually have her do something instead of matrix spamming. You can see that by >Defense Matrix >Defense Matrix's resource meter will now deplete twice as quickly
Lincoln Howard
I hate dps players so much, dps stands for Dumb Pathetic Shits cause thats all they are
Lincoln Cox
t. healslut
Levi Myers
>t. virgin filler
Luke Thompson
>season is about to end >decide to just play Mercy because wtf not >getting about 40SR per win
Holy fuck you guys weren't lying about her having busted ass gains.
Robert Adams
...
Benjamin Allen
Do you live under a rock? dabbing is literally an rl meme that's people still do ironically, it's been years, i didn't even know it originated from a song
Leo Thompson
Why do so many people pick Genji?
Lucas Perez
>taimshit on genji
Isaiah Butler
missing "too many builders"
Gabriel Turner
I play tank niggers, not a gamur girl or tranny enough to play support also >t.12 year olds whos balls havent dropped yet
Blizzard needs to force the 2-2-2 comp in competitive
Grayson Taylor
If only pharah had more skins where her face isn't covered by a he;met during a match
Nicholas Sullivan
Ok
Nicholas Martinez
>DPS heroes make up more of the roster than true supports and tanks combined >surprised when the game devolves into literal deatmatch >devs outright they prefer to make heroes based on art/concept/community choice as much as necessity to the wellbeing of the game
Well looks like JunkerQueen/ Max/ Hammond/ PharahsDad/ WhateverRedditCriesLoudEnoughAbout/ Portello is going to be another DPS
Cameron Peterson
because he's fun and they're not insecure about not being good enough at him
Luke Perry
muh 2-2-2
Zachary Young
Do you think Widowmakers are aware of the amount of matches they throw?
Ayden Powell
Why the is Pharah so slow? Why are her rockets so slow too? What am i doing wrong? Help.
Ryder Myers
>orisa is some mechanical centaur running on windows xp >could have gotten brown mature lady instead Why are you doing this to me.
Jayden Long
They actually increased her rocket speed at some point m'shitter.
Nathan Reed
>It's an episode where your team fucking stomps on the first point of Capture then a sudden outbreak of retardation happens and they lose the next 3 maps in a row
Connor Green
Why do I even bother playing this game anymore. My win rate is like 18%
Leo Allen
dude dragonblade wipes lmao
Owen Robinson
>its a "doing perfectly fine while defending but the last push has everyone suddenly dying despite the enemy team not using any ultimates" episode
Daniel Howard
Because I don't get why I should be the only one who regrets what they made of Orisa
David Garcia
>autismo solo hero >Objective time: 00:00 average >if a winston or genji so much as looks at her, she dies >relies on getting headshots to actually get elims >never gets headshots
I hope deathmatch modes in the next patch remove all the widow scrubs
Jason Sullivan
>it's another "bang your head against the 2cp wall for 10 minutes" episode
Hudson Wilson
The amount of people you tikt by picking ana instead of mercy is beyond my belief.
Joseph Brooks
When was that?
Nicholas Morris
>hanzo and widow removed from the game >quality of the game improve tenfold There is literally no point of having sniper in a team based game
Oliver Bailey
>most games "oh a team mate made a mistake that's unfortunate"
>overwatch on an unranked mode "WTF STOP THROWING FFS REPORT TEAMMATE PLS"
Adam Cook
Very overloaded kit compared to the rest of the cast.
Even heroes with a single passive or an alternate fire mode are rare, let alone this many abilities.
The amount tricks Genji has in his pockets is what every other hero should have gotten as well. It's not fair.
Asher Foster
>There is literally no point of having sniper in a game Fixed for you.
Easton Campbell
>dive
Ian Lopez
The same time they reduced splash radius.
Justin Hall
>what are sniper simulator But yeah i get the point. They tend to attract the worst people
Luke Baker
I WANNA FUCK ANA'S DELICIOUS BODY
Lincoln Moore
That's flattering user...But be quiet, Fareeha is sleeping
Noah Ross
the fuck you on about mate
There was never any tweaks to her rocket speed.
Carson Phillips
mfw >faze
Charles Cook
I want a Widow bootypad!
Adam Stewart
>little tick on payload distances turns red, indicating we made it to that point >we don't actually get credit for it What the fuck is this bullshit? We lost because of this
Lincoln Russell
...
Asher Butler
That image is the only two changes her m1 has gotten going back to beta. I swear people here make up random balance changes that never happened like the belief that fth used to headshot.
Adrian Williams
>wanting a balanced team composition is bad Here's a free (you) inb4 there are other team comp that work, i know, but competitive under master is 4 dps 1 tank 1 healer if you are lucky most of the time,
Isaiah Mitchell
hey guys, here, have another mei.
Daniel White
Because he's a ninja and ninja's seem to be a very popular character archetype, especially among teenagers.
Elijah Fisher
You can keep her, thanks and never post this shit again
Dominic Clark
>people actually thought junkrat needed buffs
clips.twitch .tv/HungryFancySwanMrDestructoid
Cooper Robinson
>Long range shield but gun is very close range Long range shield + mobility meant she could act as a defense both for or against mobile factors of the game (such as a Tac Visor Soldier) in a way that a non-mobile shield can. It's a unique niche.
>Can close distances with boosters but has a movement penalty on gun Made sense if you assumed she is intended to have strong chase ability + moderate burst damage so that she can punish low health enemies that are trying to run away.
>Has a DPS hero's ultimate Not really. It's a zoning tool more than anything. That's why it does so much damage too. The tell is so loud and obvious and the damage is so huge because that forces people to try and escape it, zoning the area the self-destruct is in. In that sense, it's much more similar to Dragonstrike or Molten Core, so it would be more accurate to say she has a Defense (I realize "Defense" and "DPS" aren't mutually exclusive, but yeah). Coupled with her boosters it let her make or break pushes by creating a zone and some time for her team to push into, whether it was with or without getting kills from the nuke itself.
All of these work together to make her a facilitator and helper in lots of smaller ways, essentially helping everyone do their job by being a denial-based tank (denial because she denies space/damage/escape etc.).
These always made a lot of sense to me and the way I play her, which is why I'm not a fan of her just being turned into fat Genji now.
Adrian Perry
There was in beta actually they used to be slower.
Thomas Price
THE WEAK SHOULD FEAR THE STRONG!
Samuel Bailey
Hour 3: Still no wins
Zachary Roberts
>Zoning Tool >Enemy Rein just holds m2 towards it, while still on the objective. >"Zone"
ITs true use is to press Q when your DPSs press Q so they have to deal with both things.
