What's funny is it isn't even that good of a change, and most of the people playing him have no idea how and just spam shit hoping it kills one person without realizing he's basically a better Roadhog in concept of picking off badly positioned weak-os and supports then running away to heal.

Undertaker McCree

It's more annoying in close quarters because he can spam two of those mines and his ball so easily the amount of damage is stupid.

Give him self damage like Pharah or something to at least make him think instead of spam.

>we get some shitty vampire McCree skin instead
>Winston gets a skin absolutely unrelated to anything that would be good like Wolfman/Werewolf would be

he used to have self damage but they removed it because he was such an awful hero

Can't wait for live to be flooded with Mercy players flying around soloing enemy teams with her stupidly-overpowered flightmode, mega-self-healing, and infinite supercharged pistol.

Learn to keep up, m8. It's gotten nerfs already to damage and flight.

They removed it because they were trying to change his playstyle when Orisa was coming out.

>We’ve always through Junk Rat is a great counter to barriers but he doesn’t get that much play. But we also don’t think he’s wildly underpowered so we were looking for minor quality of life changes we could make to him to attract players to try and play him again, or play him in different ways. So with the explosion damage you can almost play him more like a Reaper where you can get right in on people and put a lot of damage right at their feet.

The flight mode and supergun got nerfed hard.
Mercy is kill.

Ghost Sombra skin.

Guess what it'll be a homage to.

I want a bastion made out of bones with a skeleton bird as ganymede

You're Zen and you hear "METEOR STRIKE!" What do you do?

Mercy was never an attack hero so I'm not sure why that makes her kill. She's actually balanced now. Fuck 5 man resurrects.

That'd be a good skin though.

BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS!...BALLS OF STEEEEL!

Laugh because meteor strike is slow and tickles.

furry skins

Feeling bad for backfills because shitters have never done any comebacks
It was 20 vs -1 at one point too

How many hours do you have to have on hanzo before people stop bitching?

wait to see if I'm being targeted or not. if I am, weigh the worth of using transcendence to survive. if I am not, charge up towards the spot he'll be when landing to put him at low health instantly after

It doesn't matter if you are a god as him

People will always bitch

Just ignore em

What hero that, if removed, would cause the greatest level of butthurt? Genji?

She was? Doesn't feel like it, she's still soloing teams right now.

Her ress is even more annoying now than it was before, at least then she needed ult charge to do it. Now the faggot I just killed gets ressed instantly when Mercy flies in from a thousand yards away and it's a two-on-one with Mercy riding their cock either healing or shooting back and I die.

I've learned to accept that my team is always going to have a WM and Hanzo before a healer or tank gets picked. I mean, if I can't carry 4 on 6, I'M the one who's bad.

40th for D.va

According to the shitposter , she's unstoppable now.

Mercy, but desu most of it eould be justified.

I don't get it guys. If I play with three/two other friends in TDM we usually win our games and have a blast, but when there's five to six of us and we hop into comp/QP we seemed to get stomped most of the time and it gets grating.

I'm confused.

Imagine being this shit at being unable to gun her down and kill her before or right as she's reviving someone.

You faggots would have aneurysms.

>Reaper can go shadowy mist form and travel through thin areas

>Widowmaker's a sniper
>Doomfist is a big dude with a big fist to lunch you
Kinda cool how if the stealth of the Talon Three fails, Doomfist could come in and just brute force his way through a mission

So now he's immune to him having a bullshit spam?

He's fucking as bad as Hanzo now in terms of bullshit.

>play this new retarded deathmatch mode
>get top 4
>don't get a box

annnnnd.... dropped. Maybe the next update will produce something worth my time. Until then I've got better things to play.

Why must they lie? They're a full blown twink.

The game automatically matches 6stacks with other 6stacks, and 6stacks tend too be statistically more organized. Up and coming serious competitive gamers and such. If you're not that serious, a 5stack is your best. A lot of people vouch on the 3stacks and 2stacks because you can get matched up with other 3stacks, and that is the same as a 6stack but without the matchmaking disadvantage.

I'm just wondering why they act like I'm fucking retarded or something and are themselves just a bit higher.

Like as dumb as it sound it legit hurts me because I'm actually trying to climb and these people make me feel like I have a mental deficiency whenever I ask for help.

>TDM
arcade mode, people are not always trying their hardest
>5/6-stacks
fivestacks are asking for trouble with the sixth player, avoid this like the plauge. Also sixstacks usually gets you matched against other fullstacks, usually a bit more challenging

>actually trying to climb

this is proof that you do have a mental deficiency

the only reason anyone should pick comp is to throw

How would you people feel about a hero who heals themselves and teammates by sapping enemy health and storing it?

We have enough worthless gimmick characters.

I have only had bad experiences of 5 and to an extent 4-stacks, from both sides of the table.
Duos and 3-stacks on the other hand is the patrician way to queue for comp

Why?

That's all of the game's heroes.

So... lifesteal?

just Sombra, D.Va, Torb, Doomfist, and Orisa

Post your hero idea then, fag

Reaper

a character with weak gun damage and low health, but who can deploy a turret that's good for defending objectives like the Engineer in TF2

A low health reaper shouldnt be able to kill a full health winston

Reaper's the most straight-forward character in the game, how is he gimmicky at all?

When do we remove Horizon.

Why shouldn't he

>torb
>orisa

subpar maybe, but you're crazy if they're worthless

When Jeff lets you choose which maps/modes you want to play on. Too bad he loves 2cp and doesn't want to see how everyone else would rather play a different mode.

>just a short-range guy who heals himself by doing damage

It's a garbage solution to countering dive
How is that not bad design

you have no idea what a gimmick is, do you?

And why isn't theoretical shit Winston not doing the bubble dance and laughing at the Reaper?

>A low health reaper shouldnt be able to kill a full health winston
Shouldn't, but can

Reaper is an obvious Winston counter. If you jump on Reaper with low enough health you will win. If you jump on reaper with less than full but still over half you die, as you should (unless you're being pocketed or use the bubble shield like any sane Winston player would). This is a team game. Let someone else more suited take care of him.

I know you can fucking kill him, I do all the time.

The point is it's bad design. They just had to nerf dvas fucking matrix and they did this dumb self heal thing instead.

But now that it didn't shift shit in the meta they finally do, and of course they nerf it too much and give her fucking rockets.

I'd rather not remove any maps, no matter how bad, considering how few there are.

What makes it bad balance? You aren't built for fighting him 1v1. It's meant to be an uphill battle for the ape.

I don't understand their decision with the defense matrix change though. They claim they don't want tanks to be dps but look at what they do.

Hanamura is not even that bad compared to Anubis.

> You aren't built for fighting him 1v1
First of all Winston literally does that. With every 200hp char. He is meant to punish bad positioning away from the team. Ask Jeff.

As I said before the issue is that he can be low health and still win the fight against a full health winston. It was a dumb move meant to counter dive, and it didn't even do that.

They could have just nerfed DM to 3 seconds. Instead they've just made her a different character, like some kind of weird bursty fat Genji.

>Make Anubis, Horizon Volskaya and Hanamura Deathmatch maps
For what purpose?

Geoff wants D. Va out of the way so he can add his own mecha pilot character who does everything D. Va was originally made to do, which is why they're turning her into a bad DPS/Tank hybrid.

>pick up a new teammate for our Comp group
>win a couple games in a row, he has nothing to say after each game
>lose 1 game: "WORST FUCKING TEAM EVER! LITERALLY UNINSTALL THE GAME! YOU ALL SUCK!!"

And there are people who hate Competitive mode? Wow, go figure.

>with every 200hp char
Good thing Reaper has 250. No but really, why are you upset? Winston does that job just fine on everyone he's supposed to. Reaper is meant to fuck him up though. He always was, it's just easier for him to do so now. If you're losing to low HP Reapers, like truly low and not fucking 100 health, you're doing something very wrong.

Remove Pharah self damage or give Junk self damage?

IM NOT SAYING I DIE TO HIM I'M SAYING THE BUFF IS BAD DESIGN AND DIDN'T ACHIEVE THE GOAL.

But wait, they wanted an offensive type mech character, and D.Va in the beginning was kinda like a shit Winston, so she was an offensive tank. Then they made her a defensive damage sponge tank. Now she's a flank tank again? So that he can make an offensive mech character? But that's D.Va now.

I think Blizzard doesn't know what the fuck they want. Seriously, I talk to people from age 15-30 about Overwatch and everyone is losing faith in the game now because everybody is starting to wake up to the fact that Blizzard is clueless as fuck.

They took away Junkrat's self damage a short while ago. It would have to be removing Pharah's self damage.

Just fix his tire and its fine. Parah will become more viable with matrix nerf.

What "goal?" Reaper is much better now. That was the goal. He also counters tanks much harder than he used to and his ult is a lot harder to shut down now. Reaper was total suck, now he's a decent choice on some maps. It worked.

Do you just want to mindlessly monkey mash on every single character or some shit?
