>Great team comp, everyones upbeat before the game
>We get stomped first fight
>Ana switches to DPS because he "needs to carry and our DPS arent doing shit"
>Lucio says hes not solo healing, switches to DPS until someone else goes healer
>We lose round with enemy timebank >5 minutes

Why the fuck are people like this?

sombra has a bit of support in her too

Because this game has a terrible, terrible community. I think a lot of them don't even know how to play a multiplayer game.

>he mains a tank

Fugg :DDD

Needs moar DPSs XD

>still no legend

yeah, and i think torb and sym have more than a little defense in them

blizzard better buff pharah or find me a girlfriend who will play mercy

...

Are you seriously losing with a character half the cast can't even hit?

Hanzo players deserve the cross.

i dont want to play an overwatch where junkrat is a regular pick

Fixed

>zen, lucio and 76 as the healers
How well can this work I wonder

yeah the part of the cast that is irrelevant anyway

I do! But wrong game. Rein is the closest I'll feel to a WoW tank, but for some reason I just can't seem to get into him.

>Roadhog falloff is still 4 metres
>Roadhog DPS against armored tanks is still 60% of what it was

>2cp
>guy talking shit on the enemy team
>his teammate responds "stfu tracer you arent doing fucking shit" in match chat
>same guy who responded to the shittalker leaves next round
>its out attack phase
>its a 6v5 stomp and we all take turns making fun of the shit talking tracer

is there no better feeling?

>whats hitscan

>17/24 heroes are DPS
>People honestly wonder why upwards of 4/6 slots are filled with DPS
Delusion

>all the characters in the game are hitscan

>is there no better feeling?
a hug

;-;

why do you hurt me like this

it takes 1 (one) hitscan pick on the other team and not being shit to take down a lone pharah

might work at gold though

Nerfing the damage of his gun rather than the damage of his hook to remove the OHKO was extra fuel on the dumpster fire that is now 'The Hog without a Role'

luckily all the relevant dps heroes are hitscan or have so fast projectiles they can still hit pharah

Hana Song hits the bong

SPEEEEDO BOOSTO.

Here comes T.Racer!

>golf
What did she mean by this

>188127532
Reminder to pedofag that he got called the fuck out and, by the laws of conversation, not allowed to post here ever again

>Just got 2nd place in Deathmatch as Recon Mode Bastion

>play deathmatch
>5 pharahs or junkrats in every match
>people are braindead morons who don't understand feeding kills to the people in top 4 is a bad idea

Sigh

>we will never again get nanospeed amped lucio breaking all conventional laws of physics and travelling faster than a teleport

Bro, it's literally deathmatch.

When are Blizzard going to fix the fact you can have a win rate better than 50% and still make a net loss in SR?

hana is 19 wtf?
Just wanted to post some stoner pics.

What if it's not "here comes t.racer" but "here cums t.racer"?
Is this what she says before she cums down my throat?

Tracer is really, really passionate about vaginas.

You guys are pussies. I hope your phones get uncurable malware.

>GUYS I SWEAR IT'S THE TEAM, NOT ME, THAT SUCKS

So when are they going to announce Reinhardt as gay? He and Torb are a match made in heaven

>Doomfist tries to ult me (Ana) in FFA Deathmatch
>we're at the balcony on the side where you can jump to the lattice
>do exactly that
>Doomfist can't follow me onto the lattice while in Ult mode so just has to use it on nothing
>shoot him twice and nade him for the kill

Pick my Battletag for me.

Indeed. Her girlpenis is the longest.

You take that fun park of stupidity way too seriously my friend.

Ive seen a zen win deathmatch.

Ive seen 4 tracers vs a roadhog and roadhog won.

DM is not a place of normal interactions, its a funhouse of stupidity and you shouldn't be worrying about winning, the rounds are like 10 minutes at most.

When Mei respawns she says "Everyone's counting on me", but her chinese pronunciation is so weird I always hear it as "Everyone's cumming on me".

PooIntheLoo and instalock symettra

Yeah everyones counting on her to switcb

JeffChaplan

>Ive seen a zen win deathmatch.
I won as zen with 10 kills more than 2nd

If you're an uncultured American with no linguistics skills beyond murica English, yeah.

He fucking kills everything, its terror.

And when hes in danger, ulti the fuck out. It was terror, we couldnt stop him.

How would you save the mess that is competitive Veeky Forums?

Wtf? It's literally nothing to do with being worse or better than your team, it's about the fact you can have a positive win rate and still lose SR because Blizzards system always deducts slightly more SR than it awards.
They've said themselves it's not meant to be a ladder it's meant to put you where the teams are as equal as possible to get as close to a 50-50 chance for both sides to win. Yet if you have a 50% win rate you will lose SR overall. what sense does that make?

Has anyone got any aimbots they can recommend? I'm tired of being forced to play tanks and supports to compensate for shit mechanics at Diamond.

You need to be Level 50 minimum with at least 10 hours in QP and 3 hours with 3 different characters in order to play Comp. Everybody starts in Bronze. You get 30 SR on a win and you lose 25 on a loss. I would also add votekicking.

Is Lucio a good main for competitive?

>buy game at release
>don't play it because laptop isn't good enough and i'm away from home because of uni
>get back home after 2 years
>want to play and try ranked since when i left there was no ranked matchmaking
>while I was away 12 years old brother played on my account since i wasn't playing anyway
>he says he mains Genji
>as expected from a 12 years old
>he did the placements
>has a score of 900
How bad is that? I have no idea about how ranked works, i suppose that's really fucking bad, am I doomed to play with low tier shitters now? Can someone give me a quick rundown on ranked matchmaking and the system in general?

Dubs I'm guessing?

wewlad

God no. I was a Lucio main for 3 seasons. He can't heal enough and other than his ult and stalling he doesn't make enough of an impact to a game. Learn Zarya

Yes? Some guy got placed in masters only using Lucio.

stop playing the game then

I refuse to believe you're this unaware of how the game works, but 900 is literally as bad as it gets, the system goes up to 5000. But there's rarely anyone below 700 and rarely anyone above 4500
Best part is the game is always going to think you belong in Bronze now and will do it's best to fuck You at every turn to stop you climbing. Get a fresh account or you're fucked.

Why do you keep posting this same lame story?

>its a funhouse of stupidity
>fun

Funhaus?

No.

>Literally 2/3 teams have the exact same team composition
>Statistically speaking, this team comp should be in every game on at least one team
>Some teams (FaZe etc) have literally not used a different comp all tournament
'I think the meta is in a pretty good spot right now'-Jeff Kaplan, Summer 2017

25 on a loss might be a bit too intense, maybe 20ish? also, would you need a winstreak to get to the next tier? you cant have it be JUST time based

Because I posted it once yesterday and then realized the thread was past 750 posts and i got no advices

Hows about Zenyatta?

Reminder to STALL and BULLY mini d.vas!

If you saw Widow before she was BLACKED by Talon, would you fuck her knowing she turned blue and kills you?

I haven't really thought this out, I basically just want people to be required to learn the game in order to play comp, for faggots to be kickable, and for the system to be either straight flat win/loss or something instead of this bullshit half-assed worst of both worlds stuff.

Can't really say since I'm pretty bad but Zen's good as long as you call out discords and get heals out at the right time.

The tier list as of a few days ago

Tracer believes herself to be a man, and has all the brash masculine overconfidence of one as a result. Little does she know, that men can also be raped

What is your problem with the team composition that is popular? The meta is the most popular heroes. The mere fact that there are certain heroes that work well or are perceived as the best choices does not mean the mata is bad, it just means there is a meta.
Besides pros can only be good at so many heroes, it's far easier for them to find a composition that works and only ever play those roles so they can practice non stop.

>men can also be raped
Wrong

Go soldier or zarya and carry yourself out of there. You'll have lots of fun. If you can't you're really bronze and need t oimprove

Wtf people only use the ak and Awp in csgo tournaments
Ded game!!!!!!

I enjoy DM.

I find the pace of it is just right for what I want out of OW these days.

Normal matches are either one sided shitshows or "oh they got the point in overtime and now we feed into them one by one and lose"

Also playing Widow in DM is legit enjoyable.

>straight flat win/loss
God I want this so much

>2/3rds have exactly the same team comp
It's worse than that
>The only change from the 2/3rds comp to the next most popular comp is to swap tracer (close-range flank DPS) for doomfist (another close-range flank DPS)
>the next most popular after that swaps the hybrid DPS/heal to another hybrid DPS/heal
>literally everything else over 1% usage uses no more than 9 heroes total

I can call out and time things well, its just any comms will fall on deaf ears because gold-plats rarely use mics.
and the ones that do dont speak english

What the fuck recon mode bastion is actually really fucking fun to play in Deathmatch.

Recon Bastions pretty underrated, his guns like 76's but arguably better and being able to heal on the move is nice

Notice how r76, tittypad, genji licks etc posting stopped?
It was the same retarded faggot spamming it everyday for an entire year.

I want a dyke Tracer skin! I want a tomboy cute dyke Tracer skin!

>I've seen 4 tracers vs a roadhog and roadhog won.

Shame Tracerposting and blooposting are still here
