/owg/ - Overwatch General

I bought the game a year ago when it was on sale and I still can't play the game for more than an hour without jerking it.

I hope you get your tittypad one day, user.

Things shitters will deny:
>PTR roadhog is stronger than PTR dva

First person to say "brap" gets a kick in the mouth

Anyone else really worried about the Mercy rework?

Like, most people, even people on the PTR, don't understand how powerful this ult is. You basically get a slightly less powerful Zen ult and a better, mobile Orisa ult in one with your chain beam and it puts your rez on a faster cooldown.

So you basically have consistent tempo rezzes, a zen ult and an orisa ult all in one. Does nobody understand how broken this is? Is Blizzard fucking retarded? What were they thinking?

I WANT TITTYPAD user TO GET HIS TITTYPAD

>Does nobody understand how broken this is? Is Blizzard fucking retarded? What were they thinking?
This is the same company that let the bastion patch go live and straight into ranked and did pick related. They are fucking retards, probably because they don't hire based on merit anymore

Where can I find a good collection of these?

>design an entire hero around ohk
>take the ohk away
>"Guys this isn't a nerf."
are they legitimate retards?

>tfw can't stop thinking about that post about adding a crocodile hero to this game

i think it's a solid idea, imagine biting mei's arm and deathrolling her
would be p sweet

I don't understand why Overwatch and League of Legends do this kind of lengthy explanations whenever somrthing's changed. In Dota for example, Icefrog just drops the patchnotes with all the relevant changes most of the time

Gay AND canon!

I want to bully Widowmaker until she cries!

it's because icefrog is good at his job. The guy in charge of overwatch has a degree in creative writing or some shit and was hired by Blizz because he ran a fucking guild in everquest

everyone is worried about it.
>starts the match with a free rez
>kill a winston or something right out the gate
>rez'd
>kill mercy
>she spawns with another rez
>depending on how far the spawn is it may be beneficial for her to just get herself killed for a free rez in the pocket, like Anubis point b.

Basically you better get used to there ALWAYS being a winston around because he basically only ever has to survive a maximum of 30 seconds for a rez.

I would have much preferred that once a match mercy negates everyones ults with a rez.

Don't be so late like you were in the last thread user, we were worried about you.

For the user who has Sombra's voice actress as waifu:

Yes, she knows how to take the D

Well I didn't fet the skins (Reaper, Widow Mercy) I wanted but I did get Sombra and McCree

>she spawns with another rez

Rez's cd doesn't reset upon respawning

no user, the thread just started and it's the morning for america

it's too early to bait the REEs

>comp
>losing 2-0
>last point
>we get wiped
>they come to our spawn
>don't cap point
>just bully us in spawn for 10 minutes
>team leaves
>only 2 of us left, they just sit outside our spawn taunting not capping point

Here comes T.Racer!

that's not baiting, THIS is baiting

Tracer is a lesbian dyke.

I'll try to be on time, always!
Who am I kidding, I'll start uni in three days

What if Gerard actually killed himself, instead of being murdered by Amelie?

Why wouldn't it if it's an ability.

I can be standing right next to them and they won't even notice.

I wanna creampie Mercy

>anubis b
>mercy res's
>gos to spawn room, switches characters and switches back
>has res back
>in less than 10 seconds

because they've thought about this already

because of exactly what you whined about in your greentext

try it out on the ptr yourself, the cooldown doesn't reset after respawn

kek, sound like good lads desu

Okay thats good but it still stands that basically you are dealing with a perpetual Winston at this point.

>Get a quintuple kill with Phara.
>Rein gets PotG with a double.
Why do I bother?

It just doesn't
This might work though

It's obvious that Blizzard is reworking things to both balance the game and please the playerbase, but you really can't do both.

The "rework" that Mercy needed was having her rez only be able to rez a max of two people at a time. That way, you can't just hide and wait for the enemy team to use their ults, then dive in and rez. Instead, you have to tempo rez to push teamfights and actually think about when or where to use your rez instead of just hiding and bitching at your team to die on the point. It encourages strategic play. For instance, it's a teamfight, Lucio has his ult but before he could pop it he's killed by a flanking Tracer. The player has to decide whether or not to wait for another teammate to be killed while also risking her own safety, or to rez the Lucio so her team can just push now.

This way, there's actually some strategy to rezzing. You have to make hard decisions on when to rez and when not to, who to rez, etc. It'll be used to push teamfights or give your team the advantage in one instead of just "wait until my team is wiped then dive in for big rez"

However, if they did this Mercy would obviously be less powerful and all of the Mercy onetricks would scream at the top of their lungs so they can't do that. So, they have to find a way to nerf the rez while still keeping Mercy as powerful as she was before, and there way of doing that was just giving her a new overpowered bullshit ult that's basically 3 different ults combined.

I want to lick Mercy after she's been creampied

>we finally get an obese hero

we've been dealing with perpetual winston since dive caught on, and the only real solution is to just shoot him until he dies

now you shoot him and he dies and comes back so you better kill him twice within 30 seconds.

How would that work, how would you select two people when 4 are lying dogpiled together

or, or, and hear me out, or YOU DON'T HAVE A FUCKING RESURRECTION MECHANIC IN A FUCKING COMPETITIVE GAME

>be on attack
>team is mostly standard dive comp
>everyone just sits there spamming the choke without ever pushing in, even when we get multiple picks

does dota even have a rez mechanic? I know they have the aegis but that's only after killing roshan and one hero

it's almost like this game was designed from the ground up to be a casual moba/fps hybrid, until blizzard found out stupid the esports crowd is and how much money can be leeched from them

this game gets so easy when you just walk to the point

deathmatch live when?

Obviously my idea isn't perfect but it's better than what Blizzard came up with. Mercy is a fucking beast right now. No single hero in the game compares to how powerful she is with this buff, and I'm not exaggerating.

Come to think of it, maybe just having her ult rez one person but having it charge faster would be better? idk.
That's probably a better idea but it's too late for that now.

having a rez at all let alone a fucking aoe mass rez was nothing short of retarded yes

one hero, has a res but only for himself, lategame he can build an item to make teammates that die around him be unstoppable wraiths/wights for a short while

then theres buyback for everyone, spend gold to instantly respawn but it goes on cooldown so higher level players always play around the possibility of someone having buyback

>spoiler
I think it's totally normal.
Dew it

Fucking disgusting how people are attracted to fat women.

Choose all that apply.

It's just a game :^)

>people who leave right before overtime runs out

I get that you're mad but why now wait until the defeat actually pops up? You don't experience for this right?

>world renowned infamous master hacker
>no one even knows her real name
>can literally hack a guy's ability to run
>has the entire world at her fingertips

>lol jus give her an uzi with bright lights on it and let her run around shooting people

>Enemy team has two diamonds, two golds, two silvers and a four stack.
>My team is four silvers and two bronze. Two two stacks.
Blizzard WTF.

Friends is the only acceptable answer desu. I would not have bought this shit game had it not been for my friends asking me often that I play overwatch with them.
t. beta tester

It makes me feel like a cuck and I'm trying to lessen that fetish

the 35% winrate guy explained his situation. when you disconnect from a game, EVEN IF YOU REJOIN THE SAME GAME, you are still given a +1 loss on your stats.

so, i think what happens is if you end up winning the game you DCed from, you end up with +1 loss and +1 win tacked onto your profile. if you lose, you have 2 total losses for that game

>what if orisa was a cute anime centaur?

>Someone picked esports

...

There is no reason when you're titlted

That just looks fucking weird and creepy

>team is doing bad
>switch to hanzo/widow/torb

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS

is it because the match tracking websites only give loss percentages to the last hero you used in a match?

t. plebs
anything on sadpanda?

>someone chose esports

I hate that Mercy is now even more priority than ever before to kill, because if you don't kill her first then you might as well not even try now, because even if you, say, manage to just barely kill that hella good Widow that's been shutting your team down or the Pharah that's been a real nuisance, bam, fucking rez'd

>spend 5 seconds bursting down a self-healing roadhog and another minute to kill him with mercy healing
>finally killed
>rez!

good job blizzard

I have a fun game for /owg/ to play. What do you think the dev team was trying to accomplish with these changes.

>esports
lmao
>gambling
What did you mean by this?

i honestly don't think they know

>people picked gambling
i'm glad its not just me

They don't play their own game, they're just doing what they think sounds good, without realizing that it's actually fucking terrible

They wanted to keep Mercy strong for all her one tricks while pandering to all the people that hate her. An impossible job of course

G-Guys, there is no contradiction. People didn't want a one-shot combo. A one-shot non-combo is totally okay though. I stand by what I said.

t. Jeff

I picked it because i only play during events for skins .

>Play against bad Hanzo
>get 1shot every 8 seconds
>play against good Hanzo
>get 1shot every time he's on your screen

the devs play the game on a fucking tablet so they have no fucking idea what they are doing

they wanted mercies to be more "engaged" and involved in fights instead of just hiding around. but they still wanted to keep the rez even though thats the only ability i can think of that doesnt jive well with the "feel" of shooters.

i really think they should just put it away for good

Nothing since they lost their mercy playerbase.
They have no idea what they are doing.

oh hey rikoanon

>a one shotter with zero mobility and would be focused down once he does his thing and gets discovered
thats bad

>a one shotter with low cooldowns and all three abilities give mobility
hes perfect

what do they mean by this?
