Tracer is a LESBIAN.

Here comes T.Racer!

BULLY

>Boobsocks
A-are those a thing?

>new comic comes out
>it's YET ANOTHER fucking origin story

defend this

I want a Winston tittypad

You do know that that video's old and he's pretty happy about the game right now, right?

Stop making Widow OP images.

youtube.com/watch?v=oX_aOWBIMww

Opinions about the comic?

I thought it cute, but rather forgettable.

Are you just retarded or something worse?

the op image looks shit, I said it

Winston would honestly be one of the best husbandos

>8 fucking pages
>No Queen
>Junkrat is drawn with a donkeyface
>Action happens in 2 panels

Jesus Christ why do they allot like 100$ in making these?
It's the only "lore" updates we get.
And they are complete shit.

>Stop making Widow OP images.
Sure, I have different ones. Any reason in particular?

Completely forgettable like most of the comics. I don't know what it is but each time I read one of the comics it feels like it ends too early and didn't have much going on

I don't get why he keeps insisting on using that ugly fucking font when there's already a better template available.

Posted the wrong perp, m8.

Time for some Amélie.

Trying to keep the status quo as long as possible, even though the story is non-canon to the game?

don't forget to heal your team's Tracey!

Gives another reason for the Widowfags to shitpost. Literally the only ones who do that when their waifu is on the OP and you keep enabling them. Exhibit A

I wanna LICK that tummy

Is Jeff behind this travesty then?
I thought Chu was responsible for the story releases.

Unexpectedly really liked it. A lot more than most the other comics, even.

Junkrat did seem a bit off-model.

This is it, Jeff, you were given ample warning, but you just didn't listen.

>r34
post them

>when there's already a better template available.
I started modifying that after someone first posted it, not just because the font design doesn't match in the new text, but because, when you look closely at the new, constructed letters, it's a mess.
Never actually finished, or I'd post it.

Of course he doesn't have a fucking coherent reason, he's just like everyone else in this god damn site. He wants everyone else to not ever see any widow art again because HE doesn't like it

Reminder that Tracer is a DYKE who LITERALLY HAS SEX with OTHER WOMEN.

Chu's the lead writer, but he didn't do the comic. Plus, it's Jeff that wants "lore, story, and other shit" dripped because people can't handle all the info. I mean, he's partially right seeing as you have retards asking things that have pretty obvious answers with a little thinking, but still.

>Gives another reason for the Widowfags to shitpost. Literally the only ones who do that when their waifu is on the OP and you keep enabling them.
>Literally the only ones who do that when their waifu is on the OP
Oh, hey, cool, that's a lie.

>browse Veeky Forums while the game hasn't started (I usually fill in the last seconds)
>you were removed from the match due to inactivity
>rejoin (still 3s for match to start)
>get kicked out again
>you are suspended
what the fuck?

You don't have to give excuses.
We didn't have custom OP images for the whole past year until you and maybe 1-2 other people started making them.
It's infinitely times better than what we used to have.
For example Brap D.va editions.

Come on, Africa can't be aesthetic or shadowed with deep contrastic colours.
It's gotta be bright and happy and cheerful and love everything and have nigh no societal problems and didn't you hear that a 11 year old prepubescent supergenius black girl who is the most amazingest person in the world got a grant and has fixed the cities only problem and she is so cool and aren't I smart and everyone is happy and there are no problems anymore ever

That first image in your r34 folder doesn't seem that lewd to me.

Sombra online.

You mean like the retards that thought Tracer died when the Doomfist cinematic was released, even though it was clear as day that it was a flashback fight?
I bet money that some people in this thread right now don't know the timeline of that cinematic.

First time I've heard this, but Chu is the creative lead, so I would assume that it's really up to him if the story is pushed forward.

Seriously? They're still doing this? I hope just so they really have a reason to bitch that Mercy gets nerfed harder.

*contrasting

Delete this image right now

That black pig nose is awful

>using chu and creativity on the same sentence

pfhahaha

You don't know what he might fetishize about that image.
Don't judge.

Do you guys think that d.va likes raceplay? I think so.

Seems good enough to me. Tbh you need to learn about graphic design because your pics are not that pretty to look at, but I appreciate the effort.

People bitched about the D.va nerf (the armor one) for the longest time as well. If it's anything like that, we will probably be hearing them for a long time, regardless of how the change works out.

While this is true there is an interview of Jeff Kaplan saying that he doesn't want to overwhelm us with the story and he wants us to make our own stories about the OW universe and it's characters.With him being the lead developer, I believe he has the say on what is released and when.
i.e. they can't even bother to put something coherent out and they prefer throwing 10 page comics every few months to keep the retards like me satisfied.

Just a quick question.

In my first placement season 4 I landed in gold.

I have since played 300 hours of competetive and have not managed to climb to plat.

Today I played 6 matches and now I'm where I ended yesterday.

And I just want to ask if I'm actually like fucking retarded.

Because I go to a good university, on of the best in the country ok. I'm not stupid, right.

Just straight tell me if I'm actually retarded and just don't know it.

>Tbh you need to learn about graphic design because your pics are not that pretty to look at
In terms of shit like quality and resolution, or the actual arrangement of it?

Post some dv.a76

I refuse to kill someone as innocent, pure and beautiful as Mercy.

>nobody asked for this
try everybody (except mercy mains)

>raceplay

The fuck is this?
Something like podracing?

It is shit. That's plain for everyone to see.

Quality's fine, but the composition, the colors you use and specially the typesetting are horrendous.

It means she likes her white boyfriend to call her a dumb gook when he's pounding her

Nah, fuck her

She deserves it for always overextend and die on each battle

>those Junkrat panels

Jesus Christ, what was the artist thinking?

>who LITERALLY HAS SEX with OTHER WOMEN
...unlike you.

If you got a better image user, go ahead and post it.

Nah man, that's just the way the game is designed.

It's all about luck, and being able to stop playing if you're about to hit a losing streak

...

Anyone else really happy with Hog right now? He's so much more fun to play now when you can go super fucking deep thanks to the healing + damage reduction thing, even if hook combo isn't a one shot.

Is hog low enough tier now to one-trick him?

He is pure and wholesome

I feel like you can only carry on DPS heroes.

Am I wrong?

I'm thinking about getting stupid good at Winston.

It's the same guy they hired for Reflections.

I wrote I main winston

Interesting. yeah them only releasing origin stories I think does prove your point. However I still some blame belongs to Chu, since the comics he did write are also pretty lackluster on how much lore they gave.

But yeah, seeing people gush over the cinematic and this comic I think proves your second point that the majority audience really does not care about the story going anywhere.

Shame.

I still wish they reverted his old hook cooldown

He definitely is better but nowhere near a spot where there was a reason to pick him instead of any other hero.
Unless you wanna destroy the fun of Genji/Tracer/McCree/basically anyone in DM where he is a literal unkillable monster.

>hog is now ULTRA cancer to deal with because blizzard wont just revert the fucking nerfs

Junkrat looks more aussie there, no problems there.

>the non functional duplicates is literally some berenstain bears misremembrance
us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20758866763?page=3#post-42

I want to date Sombra

Sort of.

I'd say Ana, Zenyatta and Zarya have carry potential.

I see it. That comic had several mistakes with the character designs missing, like Tracer's device gone in that image, wonder if any slipped in this time.

Better to play since i can survive more and get picks, but a hooked target still isn't focused and I can't seem to get the most damaging combo down right now.

Zen and Zarya sure, Ana I have my hesitations

>bullying hogs on deathmatch as mei
>have ult on almost every time i meet them
ult+icicle spam gets them so fucking upset.

Have a friend who played competitive TF2 and switched over to Overwatch (because hype). He is stuck in gold. It seems its really difficult to climb out of the rank you start with.

>Hanzo in FFA hitting shots an entire second after the arrow has passed you

Is this a lag switch for favour the shooter?

I got placed gold first time I played.
Climbed to diamond the first few weeks.
Never reached masters since though.

It's pretty easy to climb if you deserve it and most importantly if you grind competitive games.
You won't climb with 2 games per day.

day 5 of hit registration not being fixed and Blizz said they care about this game and fanbase to busy reeeing at Mercy mains to care either

>general dying, 50% of posters are waifufags literally posting the same things over and over
>game stale shallow and dying
>blizz kills pro-scene before it even starts, no viewers and no one cares

so is this game even gonna last 3 years?

Ok

Nah it will be completely ded in two months.
All work being done (skins, maps) is being outsourced to foreign studios and there is only a skeletal crew left working on the game in Blizz studios because the devs got pulled for the next big IP.
The OWL is dead on arrival and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
All the pros even Koreans are abandoning the game and playing CS on their free time to have a backup game to migrate to when OW dies.
Queue times are 5 minutes minimum for every single gamemode with the same 30 people coming up every time.

It's a dead mess.

Still not fixed? There was a quick patch yesterday that I thought fixed it, but I guess that was something else.

I think you got every shillpost and buzzword we've had about overwatch dying over the past year in one compiled post.
Good job.

I don't think the general has changed much in terms of quality.

>Anyone else really happy with Hog right now?
>He definitely is better
>Better to play since i can survive more and get picks

>Still has no role, all was buffed was his ability to feed enemy Ults because he sticks around doing nothing for longer
Literally only flankershitters like new Hog because they now have even less counters for their 4 brain cells to think about. They don't even play him.

Is one-tricking still the way for better SR gains/mininal losses in S6 or is it different?

Why the fuck are you even in this general?

WHERES THE FUKN PATCH

relax bitch we are allowed to discuss the state of the game. im just saying what im seeing.

It's apparently being fixed, but so far there is no indication any changes have gone into effect

I want to play with a cute Mercy main.

You are a dps main?
