Anti-white racism is wrong.

Junkrat

I can't wait for Mercy and D.va to change half way through the season!

why wont you let us die user, we deserve it

Uh... yes?

daily reminder Overwatch is a social experiment

Junkrat cutest OW!

>why won't you let us die
>posts tracer

Do their models actually have that much emotion during battle, I only see it when they emote.

I have most things on high besides reflections and refractions.

Reminder that Reaper is canonically gay and loves cock.

>tfw your life is so boring and uninteresting that you dreamt about sitting at your desk and playing overwatch

They do emote a lot depending on the situation.

the models don't even have lipsynch

seriously, look at one of them when they're saying something, their mouths dont move

>tfw your life is so boring and uninteresting that you play overwatch

Last time, somebody went, "should've been a Junkertown image."
I had a choice: keep making and posting only self-indulgent shit (qts and a e s t h e t i c stuff) and admit that that's why I'm doing it, or actually give people what they ask for so that I actually am doing this for altruistic reasons.
So, here's Junkertown.

>let us die
That's the one request I can't fulfill.

Like actual eye movements and such?

I have an r9280x and I am always wondering if I'm not getting something without things like ultra fog detail or high world reflections.

Must be hard to see.

>tfw your life is so boring and uninteresting that the most exciting thing you have to look forward to that isn't your death is the coming mercy changes

Everyone deserves to be equally opressed.

I love Jamison!

Does anyone have the gif of junk rat looking confused?

You might as well look forward to death now after the nerfing they did to the Mercy changes.

We all do user, we all do..

I said they emote, I didn't say they actually talked.

>Got 1st as mercy in deathmatch
Not even a mercy main but this shit is pretty fun, feels bretty good

I don't think I've seen that one before, but it's good! Did you draw it?

>Didn't study this entire summer
>Got an exam in 4 days
>Spent my summer playing Overwatch
>Spending those days drinking lots of energy drinks and sleeping because my organism can't handle them

Please help me, /owg/. Game some bloo.

>Be Bronze DPS with some Plat healer.
>Never heals anyone just tries to DPS.
>Swaps to Hanjo and throws.
>Lose.
>Blames everyone but himself.

>tfw your old high school friends are off getting married and starting careers while you're six years into a four year degree that you will never be able to afford and the most interesting thing about your life is that every night you spend several hours playing a video game you don't even like

>your shitty genji and WM spam need healing off knicks of their health
>can't mute these fucks
>they do 0 to help you other than assume you are some eternal, never targeting entity that exists to solely address their issues
The day "i need protection" or "Protect me" is an emote only healers can use, is the day instalock dps know what spam truly feels like

Nah nah, i find my stuff off of pixiv cause usually you won't see it anywhere else

Got ya m8

youtu.be/OsnfYn_ZFdE

Which girl does it remind you of?
>Inb4 bastion

The first thing I say when people start getting pushy in chat is, "No," then I mute them. Then I watch some weird one-sided conversation in chat.

Mercy literally does it all the time the instant she loses 1 HP.

Fuck exams. Live your life. The one that you want to live.
Learn how to say "no" to the things that you think you're "obligated" to do.

Junkrat should have gotten two traps or a secondary fire that shoots a triple spread shot of grenades. Two concussion mines does nothing but make him even more spammy and do way too much burst damage on a single target.

but that's an automated thing you can't control and it doesn't flood the chatbox

obnoxiously spamming "I NEED HEALING" has to be done manually and deliberately

Laughing voice lines to spam rather than emotes to add more bm when

BLOO

By sexy dirty Australians I meant Queen stuff.

I improved by a lot at the game


But at what cost?

I can only hope phase 2 of Deathmatch is "Ban everyone who played deathmatch".

>Play Rein/Winston
>Always try to protect healer
>If healer dies I apologize even if it wasn't my fault
>Instant Pocket Healer
>Can usually carry and get gold damage/elims

Instalock DPS are shitters 80% of the time

>secondary fire that fires all grenades at once in a shotgun spread

HUH

Don't listen to this retarded neck beard. Go to school and get a good job so you can afford a quality video game life

is poo.

You got your freedom.
Who cares what the price was?

>secondary fire shoots five grenades that each split into five more grenades

>They allow 2 traps to be placed at one time
>stack them on top of each other
>dps just falling out

Honestly I find the new Roadhog a lot better than the hook-oneshot one

Makes fights a lot more sustainable in exchange of less power

>secondary fire shoots one big bomb that richochets and causes immense knockback but 35 damage, a la ricochet bombs from early twisted metal

What game mode lets me play something other than tank/support and still be placed on a well balanced team? I just want to play DPS with a decent team comp for once

>secondary fire shoots five grenades that each split in to explosive scatter arrows

Junkertown is awesome and all, but the reason we're there is so fucking stupid. Why couldn't it have been about Junkrat's secret treasure and people wanting to take it instead of "hurr vengeance on Junker Queen!"?

>tfw you've wasted all your life's talent on being slightly above mediocre at a okay-at-best video game

Because Junkrat's secret treasure is in the next map, which is 2cp in a jungle/ruins

>see people note that micro missiles can hurt yourself like it's a big deal
>literally does at most 4 damage to you if you dive on a bot from mid range, then bump them
Nerf that.

GIVE MCCREE ROCKET PUNCH

But it's in his little shack in a box.

Is there a way to change the background image? I don't want to look at the blue slut's shitty house

>tactical MIRV incoming

>Secondary fire that shoots five grenades that split into explosive scatter arrows that place down mini aoe defense matrix

>I don't want to look at the blue slut's shitty house
S'EN ALLER.

This also revives all dead players and gives them 80% mobility for 4 seconds

I'm really, really near you, user.
Samefag from Yeah, the next year I should start working anyway. Not that Graphic design is hard if you really like it though.

>tfw most of my leftover money once I fixed some things will go onto savings and gifts for friends

When will they talk about why he has the arm

Killstreak character when?
>Basic gun and Ult usable from start
>Ability 1 usable at 1 Elim
>Ability 2 usable at 3 Elim
>Alt gun usable at 5 Elim
>Ability 3 usable at 7 Elim
Ult automatically bumps him back to max charge, dying resets it

How do I get good with Ana?

Love the idea of biogrenades and gilfs, but suck with her.

>damage blocked with the mini AOE defense matrix charges your ult

The problem is if you aren't bursting people down you are feeding healers.

After he allows himself to be caught, according to plan

wait for winston to be nerfed because right now, even the best of anas are being fucked by the endless winston bubbles that will always be there because of winston's necessity

You can still 2shot most people anyway,

Season 6 starts in 17 hours. Who are you gonna main?

I played for like 5 hours today and didn't get to go to Eichenwalde once. What gives? All I wanted to do today was get some sick Torbjorn streaks on defense.

>Your tire explodes more grenades that have the same effect plus the ult charge

>getting stomped in team deathmatch
>switch to healer
>get immediately swamped with I NEED HEALING
>change back to dps and accept my loss

I'm going to """main""" Ana-Lucio-Soldier. Then after the rework patch happens D.va for dive, and probably Mercy as well.

>killing someone with your tire buffs roadhog

Not really. You hook Mei. You don't kill her. She iceblocks and walls. Or Genji. You don't kill him, and he instantly Deflects and has a Zen orb on him.
Roadhog can only hook and kill already damaged foes now, which is how I play him now.

Deathmatch and TDM aren't really as fun as I was hoping

Genji is cute!

TDM is OK. Deathmatch exposes how fucked the balance is.

...

I appreciate it a lot, I haven't seen this one before! I was referring to he one where he looks down, but this one is cool too. Thanks buddy.

reminder that comp seasons are even more pointless now that they've removed the whole "knock you down 500 sr just to fuck with you" thing

>I find this kind of stuff a lot more attractive than actual nudes


What went right

Actually Genji is with you

>freakish bayonetta legs

Now that Mercy is dead, will the females leave this game for good?

And what will their next victim be, Destiny 2, CoD WWII?

>saying while posting leggy peggy
the ironing is delicious

HotS. They will pick Li Li

at least leggy peggy is proportionate like a normal human being, in that pic her legs are longer than the rest of her body

Woman with some clothes are always more lewd than nudes.

reminder that girls are icky and have cooties and the only person who can ever truly love and understand you for who you are is another man

Don't post such cute mercy's when countering posting me...!

What Mercy skin looks the coolest when she's ulting?
