So, when you get forum, chat or account suspended, what do you do to pass the time, I just got a 3 day forum one, so I'm wondering what to do in that time.

I WANT A REINHARDT TITTYPAD

Suppose Jeff has given you the magical power to remove 1 hero from the game. Who do you pick?
>get to high plat 50 points from diamond >My brother want to play with me >play arcade against low gold (because he 's low gold) >dominate the entire game, and getting at least 3 gold medal everytime
The difference in skills is impressive
Nolan Cook
Pharah. Easiest decision of my life.
Ian Clark
So is the Lootbox for FFA DM for winning or for scoring well? Because I just got one for getting 2nd place.
Tyler Smith
bastion, easily. lowest pickrate, never used at high level, no personality so people don't really give a shit about him, boring playstyle.
Elijah Thompson
As an Australian, i will always play a quickplay first before comp to check if our shitty 3rd world internet is at a stable 30ms or if im spiking. I'm one away from the XP punishment so I had to play it through, so I go rambo doomfist attack on rd66
I pressed Q and target the mercy and place it just in front of her knowing that the quickplay retard will valkyre to an ally and die to me mid flight. I said "got you mercy" and they started sarcastically saying 'wow teach us how to press Q!' 'Wow you ulted her so good'
Then they add me after and message me this shit. It was classic quickplay banter. I even said 'ownd' after we won because lol, but he adds me, says all this shit then blocks me 10 minutes later. Why you bully me? everyone ask why you bully me
Ayden Smith
You just need to get top 4
Carson Cook
How many times have you had a cool idea for a team composition only to realise "o ya what if they run Pharah tho". Don't get me wrong, Genji is an incredibly dumb stacked hero but Pharah stagnates the game on a whole other level.
Pic unrelated
Ian Perez
Here comes T.Racer!
Jayden Cruz
>play deathmatch >enemy team has a camping comp >team decides to go with a camping comp but be aggressive as well
wtf is an Ana going to do? with a perma-healed orisa, mercy, hanzo, genji comp
Parker Thomas
Yeah nah aus here my ms is under ten. You're just a cunt.
Noah Stewart
Pharah Fuck Pharah "lol you need a hitscan on your team specifically to counter me and only me" Fucking bitch.
Camden Mitchell
just gonna... leave this here.
Jaxson Howard
yeah nah sorry I don't live in one of the 6 kilometres of my city that got upgraded to faster internet. Copper wires for days cunt
Levi Wilson
Any AU players, I need friends. Hiding#1419

Why do you keep photo editing this shitty sceenshot are you mentally retarded?
> owg is full of shitters who can't aim not disappointed indeed
Jason Lewis
Junkertown PTR map. Picture of the Queen, hot, but I wonder how she is leading a bunch of violent criminals. Maybe in OW sexual harassment or catcalling equals instant brain death or something, Idunno.
Brayden King
>all the kills on my team came from me >my teammates are just hanzo widowmaker genji who cant do shit
Jordan Roberts
damn i should really change my game sounds back to English. In the chinese version all she says is 'wee' 'yeah!' and 'YOU MEI YOU, DI YA ZIN DE GAN JUE?!"!?' 迪亚兹迪亚兹迪亚兹迪亚兹迪亚兹迪亚兹
Benjamin Gray
ANOTHER missed opportunity to put Junkertown in OP image...
Lucas Scott
Easy. Fuck that bitch Pharah
Ayden Hernandez
I want my dick to be raped by the queen.
Brandon Murphy
HEY DUMBASS TRY WATCHING MAD MAX WHICH JUNKERTOWN IS LITERAL HOMAGE TO
Josiah Cook
Is the leader a female? I've never watched it.
Brody Garcia
feel free to make the thread yourself next time
David Moore
Head honcho in mad max movie was Tina Turner
Christian James
So I know Blizz listens to Reddit and the Official forums, think they have any plants here seeing what we think, or is it all dust in the wind?
Ethan Turner
For a second I thought this was a trick question, and you left out Genji altogether, but he's just at the top of the list, it seems.
But I really don't understand how Pharah is in the lead. Several heroes counter her to some extent - but NOTHING counters Genji in any meaningful way.
Blake Walker
>Add Deathmatch >it's utterly terrible and nobody was surprised
Landon Reed
It's sombras damage a meme?
Michael Kelly
okay okay everyone shut the fuck up
the real question is: Why isn't that halloween defend the castle mode avalible to play in game browser??
William Clark
They won't admit it publicly but they only added it in the hopes of getting people who always play the game like it's deathmatch out of standard games.
Logan Howard
Oh, does that mean Queen is going to be in an abusive relationship with her singing partner?
Ryan Green
>not killstealing your way to victory as Sombra
Dominic Gutierrez
it's august
Joshua Reyes
It was the OP image for about 5 threads straight after the announcement/Junkershort. Stop whinging
Eli Mitchell
>Anti-stall timers for control points have been reduced to negate stalling as a viable tactic and yet 2cp is still ass when are they scrapping the whole idea and making it from scratch and still failing at it?
Michael Bailey
Maybe I should, maybe I will. Most often the problem is having a proper image at had (I play on another machine) and then writing something new, and not just copypasting old stuff.
I wish there was an easy way to sync files between my machines.
Austin Baker
hey dafran is unbanned on friday isn't that something
Hudson Kelly
We probs get quite a bit of lurker traffic from the plebdevs, but the higher ups (Jeff, Chu, Geoff etc) probs prefer the hugboxes on Reddit. I would imagine everyone at Blizz is at the least aware of us from the CNY/Orisa/Meishort leak and have visited us at least once. We know that the guy who leaked it is probs fired because of his limited access being easy to twig who did it.
Kayden Price
who fucking cares
Daniel Ramirez
Will Blizzard ever fix their game so Reapers and Genjis can't clear a point 1v6 or are they afraid of losing 80% of their player base by doing it?
It's good for practicing dps and keeps one-trick dps shitters out of my games, so I'm happy.
Blake Moore
Why did you accept the add?
Michael Lee
Yeah, because of the suspension thing I did re read Code of Conduct and spreading leaks in insta ban. As well as impersonation and calling someone and limp dicked faggot.
Oh well, Overwatch Forums has up until now actually let me get away with saying quite a lot of stuff, although recently they have actively been pruning messages, it's kind of eerie.
Thomas Lewis
>People are voting for Pharah when the hero that should be removed, Genji, cockblocks Pharah in every way, shape and form
Brayden Bailey
Wouldn't be surprised if our only resident Chu apologist was Chu himself. Not as if he has a job or anything
Ryan Fisher
HEY, writing the new queen as a bukakke loving sapiosexual takes a lot of work Chu will let you know!
Noah Brown
Pharah forces you to play certain counter classes while Genji is just plain overpowered.
Gabriel Hill
>tfw no reason to play because no event items to grind crates for
Ethan Anderson
>people on the forums crying about the new Junkrat
Cameron Sanchez
Yeah? Like what? If she even ults next to you she's a sitting duck. People with a 35-40% aim have zero problems with her.
Jacob Howard
Grinding crates is smarter now because no event loot table.
Connor Diaz
Nana Boots anyone?
Samuel Davis
Pharah is just anti-fun the character. "Dont feel like running a hitscan on your team? Lmao have fun never touching me".
No one else basically forces composition swaps like her, all other heroes can put up a fight against others in some way even if it's an uphill battle but she's just annoying as hell if you arent running a hitscan.
Logan Reyes
>not playing hitscan anyway What? Do you dislike damage? Or does your aim suck?
Gabriel Myers
Maybe I don't want to play soldier 76 every game?
Dominic Bell
I hope they don't just repeat events, I want to see new ones too.
Gabriel Turner
In what situations would you not have a hitscan on your team?
Luke Reed
Will they make the queen a lesbian?
Luis Baker
year 2 is all repeats. I just hope they aren't as lazy as they were with lucioball and actually make new content each repeat
Cameron Gomez
If only Pharah could only use ult as an attack.
Owen Lee
but its boring because theres nothing exciting to get. It will just be palette swaps for heroes i dont play and sprays and icons.
Caleb Diaz
That's entirely the problem that she causes.
Landon Sullivan
Yes because no one is straight, fuck cis white males.
First Tracer is off limits, then the queen, then Widow, then the whole world will die out as we will all be gay.
Josiah Carter
I NEED PEOPLE TO QUICK MEME WITH IN AU
Jackson Roberts
I always play a hitscan. It's Tracer
Caleb Ramirez
Lier, everyone knows the real Chu values diversity of skin colour over bukakke. The real Chu would let you know it's a strong, aboriginal woman amputee...who also likes bukakke. I really don't get this women stronger than men meme, like yeah characterwise its a more even playing field, but put a dude and a woman in a fight to the death and 99.999997529999% of the time the dude is going to crush her skull because biology. You think the JunkerQueen bribes the winners with bukakke?
Jace Jenkins
In situations where i'm not the emperor of Overwatch and cant force my team mates to pcik one?
Ayden Lopez
The problem of not wanting to run the best DPS character in the game, Soldier, every chance you get?
Austin Hall
>Dont feel like running a hitscan on your team? The game is a shooter, FFS. Of course you want to run a hitscan hero, maybe even several.
But if you just want to run a full 100% troll pick team, then expect to lose, naturally.
Asher Martinez
Why else do you need one?
John Lewis
There is nothing wrong with making the females lesbians though. Because it arouses muh dick.
Camden Sanchez
Thing is hitscans can be killed by projectile users in this FPS so it's not like you need to run them. Except when fighting her, which is the point.
Brayden Nelson
Three questions:
Where can i find in writing the added changes to the PR/patch notes
Will deathmatch be added to comp mode or is it a memey arcade game mode only?
does mercys new res ability on the PR still make her and her target invuln for 1s?
Christopher Edwards
But they will never want your dick man. What's the point of having a waifu if you can't fantasize the act without going really OOC? Might as well buy figurines at that point, put em behind glass.
Joshua Ramirez
>warning signs were on ptr >statistically made him broke >pros said he was broke in his state, especially as he was already making a niche for himself in the meta for his trap
>released, with a gamemode emphasising a characters ability to get kills >is clearly broken on release
Wow, shock and horror
Eli Kelly
Snipers (More widow than Hanzo coz of scatter and pot shots) are more honest than the meta heroes
Widow is literally just 96 dps with body shots. 240 dps if she lands every single headshot as soon as she hits full charge with no delay And her mine adds 15 dps to a target
Tracer, no headshots, is 240 dps.
Winston against a single target deals 60 dps, with just one extra target he out performs widow's bodyshot dps while while having better mobility, +200 health +100 armour and a big barrier.
I dont understand why people think Widow is this unfun concept despite widow being a dps hero with noticeably lower dps than the meta heroes
Repost for new bread
Jace Torres
Tumblr thinks straight hwite men dont like hot lesbians. >they are actually that retarded
Eli Taylor
Just remove Scatter Arrow.
Samuel Sanchez
Before I got suspended, I posted on Blizz forums that The day that Blizzard uses "Women uses her Body to succeed and climb in stature", is the day all the SJW's have a brain aneurysm and Chu starts sobbing into his 'Diversity is Strength" pillow. The backlash would be glorious.
Hunter Foster
>wanting to be cucked by a lesbro who steals yo girl
Isaac Perry
He's still inferior to tracer, Genji, and 76 regardless of his newfound mobility.
Eli Thompson
>decide to play one game >get killed by someone crouched in a corner camping a medpack >lose interest completely
Christian Ramirez
>Hogshitters still crying on bnet forums
When will they git gud?
John Lopez
loser
Colton Cooper
Anyone have the /b/tard that got cucked by a lezzie?
Evan Nelson
>The retarded tumblr cunt that thinks lesbianism is cuckoldry There goes the thread again
