best feeling

I can't other than old rat being worse than all of them and needing the buff the most.

Torb needs several QoL things to make him not so fragile, like a smaller head hitbox and more health. His turret would also make use out of higher DPS when not ulted as it is he's really just useful when ulted to stop weeb from wiping your team with sword.

Mei needs a reason to exist. M2 should freeze people on headshots and m1 should just do more damage but just slow.

Bastion needs another 100 armor and tighter spread.

am I wrong
i agree with bastion idk about the othertwo

Has Doomfist's fist hitbox been fixed on live servers yet?

>Delete everyone with scatter
>Ult is very good in many situations for many things like area denial, orisa defenses, or wumbo combos

Moment of truth.

How will Jeff and pals fuck us

>replay system infinitely in the works
>will be able to precisely pinpoint the shitter in the match and iron out the flaws in my positioning
>soontm

I get that every hero in the game NEEDS a red and a blue skin for eSports, but why is it getting priority over game replays? I just want to make a cool, slow 360' pan degree spins around my hero whilst I figure out where the fuck I am going wrong. Though I would be OK if they were exteneding Junkensteins Revenge to all of Eichenwalde/Adlesbrun. I want a longer PvE experience damnit!

Junkrat's kill potential is now too high, so we're going to reduce his damage.

We also feel that all the supports except for Lucio deal too much damage, so we're reducing their damage. Lucio will have his damage increased and he is now immune to CC effects.

anyone else not care about winning when you get stuck in a team with stubborn cunts?

i feel as if either people are really bored and wanna play dps
or
the SR system went bananas and placed everyone in plat-diamond

>Junkrat's kill potential is now too high

Jeff doesn't pay attention to Silver league.

i taught school began

>Rat
Was fine and finding a place in the meta for his trap. Now he has an extra mine and can destroy his own trap, his niche is gone. We don't need more midrange DPS

>Torb
Needs a damage revert and his headbox made not to include his sensitive beard. Other midrange DPS currently does his job better and with less risk.

>Mei
That tbqhfam. Surprisingly, she shouldn't be focused on midrange DPS.

>Bastion
Needs a revert, with the moving/uninterrupted healing left on. He was fine as he was and didn't need to be nerfed in anticipation for Orisa. He used to have ample long range capabilities and could deal with Pharah/Pharmercy very well-yet here we are with a Bastion which barriershreds at a very slightly better rate than before in exchange for his first shot accuracy/range.

>potential
That's a shitter proof word mate

>harblue says hog is back

is it true guys?

lmao
no____

He was always playable in solo q, contrary to what shitters believe. You deal and soak consistent damage, you are not a one shot tank.

they should nerf the fire rate but buff the spread on his gun so it actually feels like a shotgun, but other than that hes good

No, must have been a dated video. He still can't do anything of significance atm, and the APEX's are showing it in particular. If I remember right, he is still the least picked tank/DPS in the tourney and has the lowest winrate alongside. Fuck, even Torb and Bastion are in a better place in APEX than the Pig.

>tl;dr if the gooks can't make him work, chances are he ain't gonna work

when your smurf has less toxic people while being in lower rank Lolwat

i swear if this account turns diamond also im just let it decay into bronze

even pre nerf nobody picked hog in pro games

you can't decay past diamond if you don't play, you only drop ranks if you play but play badly

>he was always playable in solo q
Up until mid-platinum
After that, the DPS learns how to aim and you turn into a bullet sponge that spends most of the time running back from spawn

Gooks can't play fps though

>deal consistant damage
No
>soak consistant damage
Yes, read:Build enemy Ult

You, my freind, are the shitter in this scenario.

>nerf a hero with no damage potential even more
>nerf the only hero in GM with a sub 50% winrate
>Torb/Symm/Bastion is literally better than Hog in GM, and by a long shot
Since when did so many shitters start larping as if they know what they are on about? Or are they just DPS mains who don't want the punisher to return?

>go to do comp
>player has left, match will be cancelled in...
>try again a few minutes later

Okay then.

>lose 7/10 matches, draw 1
>get ranked 200 places higher than I ended last season on

Not bad.
I might see Plat this year.

>
What? He was a must pick like Lucio because his hook punished being alone desite (like Lucio) the rest of his kit being kinda shit. He was the reason anything but Dive was ran since hero limits became a thing. Simply put, without Hog mobility>no mobility every time. Hence why Rein, Orisa, Zarya, all 4 snipers, all of the defence heroes, Mercy and Reaper took an eternal tumble with Hog down to F-Tier

Tell that to the OW WC western ''''''pros'''''

So am I going to place closer to my last season high (also career high) or where I was when season ended?

First match was full of russians

I just know I'm gonna get placed in gold, I just know

A few hundred below your last season end.

deathmatch would be alot more fun if it was like mystery heroes. Im fucking tired of seeing nothing but golden gun onetricks in the mode

So why do you people hate Hanzo?
>popular pick
>high skill so he attracts the best players

this is the funniest one of them all

...

I want to PUNCH tracer in her stupid chest thingy until it breaks and she cries.

Not anymore, they changed it. You get placed properly but don't get the ubergains at the start. Watch the ficking Dev Update vids

i only hate Hanzo's/Tracers/Sym's/Widow'symb who cant get a kill and wont swap off

be all means play the fucking charcater but get kills or help the team and get off it for a better pick

>suddenly a lot more people playing Junkman
I WANT TO PLAY HIM ITS NOT FAIR

>deep lore and backstory

Lmao the only thing he's got is being Genji's brother. Nice bait.

>high skill
>*scattershots the floor*

Does anyone else get incredibly sweaty while playing this game?

>get kills by spaming arrow at the choke
>high skill

Not as sweaty as Tracer gets when she's munching box, if you know what I mean. She works up a real sweat pleasing all the fifteen girlfriends she's got. It's tough work you know. Her tongue is perpetually sore, did you know that? Just one of the difficulties of being the cutest dyke in the world, heh. I mean, Tracer gets so much god damn clam you'd think she was a... Clam fisher, y'know? Tracer is a walking clam vessel, and believe me, her snare is deployed, too, so she's sucking up clams left and right, and that's just the end of story.

Yeah but thats probably because i'm looking at widow or mercys asa

Honestly the "durr place low but boost SR for wins" was so retarded

If you got hit with lower placement SR you got laughably easy games that were total stomps which were basically a giant waste of time until your SR climbed back to your previous season high.
I'd prefer having all MMR being reset at the start of each season and have the first 10 games give you random matchups (unless you group queue) and use the internal MMR adjustment vs other players of that hero to give the initial placement.
It would shut the "ELO hell" crybabies up

>win a 1v1 against Tracer in Deathmatch a couple times
>see this
Feels good man

>ult is a payload clearer
>barely the size of the payload if fired head on
>leaves the payload sidelanes open
>does little damage if you get grazed by the side
Thanks for the bait confirmation. Would you like a recipt with such a large order of (You)'s?

i hate having to fight him
scatter shot is cancer

I agree

>tfw seeing aimbots in deathmatch

for what purpose?

>DyingAngel97

Yeah, well, I hit master with a about ~60% winrate on roadhog, so no, people don't learn how to aim until maybe gm.

Hanzo is fun, its just annoying he's in almost every other game so I cant skillshot with him

code for 5 loot boxes:

9QFW-F383-3KLDB-6H4S-SPKD

>funeral
This one cracks me up

Faster levels / boxes / salt lust

>frozendeath
REMOVE ME FROM THAT COLLAGE

Nah it ain't that simple. Although the MMR system is kinda shit already, with the first placements you ever do being the only real important ones, the problem is that those first placements already collect quite a bit of info from your first 25 levels (watch the fucking dev updates, read devposts etc) hence the Lv25 limit instead of instant compplay. It means that in theory that smurfs are quickly weeded out and put at similar skill levels and your first placements are starting at a relatively strong level of where you should be. Thats how a T500 smurf with 10 wins gets Master placements wheras a Plat smurf with 10 wins gets put into Plat from placements.

Was that before or after Christmas 2016?

Don't skip school kids or you will type this good for life

Oh shit it worked, for the first time I wasn't too late, thanks user.

stop lying i was the one who used the code

Wanna know the secret to playing a good Sombra and easy SR?

Well done user! You are now legally allowed to post on /owg/

3048
:)

I was so close last season. 2894 SR I think. Do you guys think I can make it this time?

why are queue times so high?
used to be 10 seconds, now it's 1-2 minutes at best

yea, thats pretty much diamond

to make games more fair

You know you'd get better gains with an off meta/unused hero right? Check OmnicMeta for that shit, but you'd probs get a good amount more using McCree over S76 because simply put, less people to be worse than.

>tfw you learn how to Hog 2.0
He's pretty good, but his biggest weakness right now is his spread. Skinny targets are insanely hard to hit properly. His damage is good, but you do need to land two shots to kill squishies now, which isn't so bad because of the fire rate. People say he's an ult battery, but that isn't really the case if you just stick with your other tank. The best thing to do with your hook isn't to go for solo kills anymore, it's to break up enemy lines and get the rest of your team to focus down whoever you yoink. The new heal is a huge improvement as well, he can facetank almost anything now. I think for him to be in a good spot, they'd need to a) reduce his hook CD to 6 seconds, and b) give him slightly less spread.

They fixed that, doesn't work anymore

Does anyone else constantly queue and leave games until they get the game mode they want

but i'm losing for the 8th time in row

>Mei needs a reason to exist. M2 should freeze people on headshots
Too strong, Mei doesn't need to be a sniper
>m1 should just do more damage but just slow.
Better, since it encourages going close range and killing people slightly faster when outnumbered

>that pre-game bullying interaction with Winston

10/10 stuff
