>here's what's live right now:
Orisa - shield is bigger, plasma bolts fly faster
Roadhog - damage reduction while self-healing to help survivability, able to move while healing
Junkrat - can carry two concussion mines at once, tire is way faster
Widowmaker - venom mine reveals poisoned enemies (just like Infrasight), grappling hook recharges faster
(also, you can adjust crosshair outline opacity now)
>here's what isn't live yet:
RIP-Tire momentum nerf
D.Va changes
Mercy rework (see below)

- Lots of secret back-end changes for Season 6

- See-through objective markers "soon"
- No solo-only queues or search preferences are coming (at least for now)

>I NEED HEALING!

What do you do /owg/?

Tracer is a lesbian.

What did he mean by this?

Junkrat is Nadeko Sengoku's father, user.

When can we expect the Mercy rework to go live? I don't feel like doing my S6 placements until that happens. In fact, I haven't played since the event ended.

Oh look, few shits felt offended. Gee, maybe if they had aa fucking pinch of skill, I might have not usher a single word.
>plat

They need to fix glitches on the map, and they keep tweaking small things here and there. They also need to record new lines for D.va's micro missiles. They release on tuesdays, so the chance that they'll be done in 5 days is none.

>play Mystery Heroes
>spawn as Rein on Defense
>ask my team where they want to defend
>they say the middle
>McCree and Hanzo go high anyway
>they don't cover me at all so I get flanked and die
>I never spawn as DPS all game
>gold elims at the end with 5 elims
>teammates never contest even once

How does your mains reflect your personality?

I main D.Va and Tracer because I'm a massive fucking coward who enjoys being able to evade and run away when the going gets tough. I especially prefer anal probing the enemy team with tracer on capture maps and camp their spawn to bully squishies, especially healers. Especially mercys.

DEAD GAME HAHAHAHA

>prepare your defe-
Nope
>welcome to horiz-
Nope

I just want to play koth on qp or attack on decent maps.

>Purposively witch-hunting toxic behaviors for reporting them
>Reported bunch of ragers who insulted me or others in public chat and such
>None of those fuckers got silenced

You'll be waiting until season 7

>its been 3 weeks and Blizzard still hasn't done anything about people drophacking players in the game

It's happened at least 10 times, only when I'm winning. In FFA or Competitive. Never quickplay because who the fuck cares, right?

Only when you get something important do they need to drop people.

Walked through all the steps with customer support. Game is still crashing. Told them it's a player exploit because people were doing it on Numbani 2 weeks ago (reddit threads out the ass, blizzard threads out the ass)

"oh then report it to the designated hacks email"

I work in customer service. I'm sure they can pass along the message to someone else. Why do I have to do their job for them?

Japan was a mistake.

Delete Shimadas.

What did YOU mean by this?

Is that the snek girl? It's been so long since I watched Bakemonogatari.

How so?

>Junkertown first point

>Mercy + Widow a mile away murdering everything without any means of countering it

>Enemy team has a reaper just to double assure that Winston can't get in

Microwave him

Soon these shitters will learn about Widow on Junkertown, and they'll understand. I bet it'll take months of crying for them to shove a giant building in the way.

>Try to come back into overwatch
>Can't find it fun anymore

I just don't know

heal him

I need to charge my ult

Who have you been playing most this season in comp? I've pretty much only played Pharah and Mercy.

>when you use your deflect to save a teammate and they thank you for it
>when you use a dank nasty combo to take out phara in one strike and the soldier/mccree thanks you for it

:3c

Yes user, It's the snek grill

Since you probably didn't know what happened:
She became crazy for Koyomi and became obsessed to the point where she starts seeing a white snek in her wrist, which leads her to the path to become a godess. Once Senjougahara exposes her foreheads saying she was hiding her true personality Nadeko became crazy to the point where she started destroying things at her school, probably one of the best moments in the entire saga

Just wait until halloween event starts

Anyone else keep crashing in comp only???

The hell?

>purposefully witch-hunting toxic behavior
>public chat
Taunting others to generate bad behavior and reports, in global chat of all things, should earn you a caning

Why are people who play this game so bad?
I get put in games with people who have been playing Overwatch for six times as long as I have and they

>can't focus Winston down 3v1, they all just run from him
>play DPS and then can't get over 5 kills in 10 minutes
>literally never stay on the objective ever to the point where I play snipers and have gold Objective Time with 2 seconds of time

I just don't know anymore.

>brother is new to overwatch
>he says the game is shit
>spec him tonight while he's playing qp
>he's playing mei, running straight at enemies and not using ice wall or ice shield at all
>not right clicking when out of reach either, just holding left shit
>he switches to reaper at one point
>never uses an ability and tries to snipe from across the map
Should I just let him give up and not enjoy the game? I tried to offer him advice but he won't listen.

Remember, Winston and Tracer are NOT to be bullied under any circumstances

Bastion's ultimate is a terrible ability that needs to be replaced.

I bet it's you again, mister "my 12 year old brother is a rank 900 genjimain", isn't it.

It was good until they removed the extra armor from it.

nope, he's 25 and i'm 28

he only plays WoW and watches anime

lol

just tell him to go 76 lol

themoonalsorise is a trap, right?

I hope so

>mindlessly wall off the choke while not really paying attention
>accidentally cockblock earthshatter/graviton/nanovisor combo
>mfw people on both teams thought this was a skillful play that i meant to do

I assume he has some debilitating paralysis in his hands as well? Tell him to just play Mercy.

>Roadhog - damage reduction while self-healing to help survivability, able to move while healing
Please stop, he's already dead

>I assume he has some debilitating paralysis in his hands as well?
nope

does anybody have that webm of the Halloween event where all four of them are in the shot when roadhog spawns and they emote?

>Half, if not all of those will close their business once the Mercy update goes live

40 hours of D.va
2 hours of Mercy

>everyone but me is bad

>go one a lose streak for a whole day
>before and after nothing but wins
why does this happen?

I play winston and do nothing but bully tracer

To the user afraid of losing your rank;

Stop caring about falling or you'll never climb. Same concept as the monkey bars when you were little. You learn to do it or you never climb them.

Can we admit he's a problem now, /owg/ ?

Nope git gud meatchunk

>deflects grenades back into him
wow that was hard

anyone golds-masters want to duo? I'm sick of solo queueing and I have a smurf if needed

>hurr our entire team can be genji right guys and i can stay all over him forever right guys

Also Genji can't deflect explosions or traps.

>BRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNGGGG

I would, but my connection is shit. I only play comp on weekend mornings.

Also. Why?

Know what's not a problem? For Tracer the dyke to get laid with another woman.

if i keep losing 10sr and gaining 50-60 each match at 2500 does that mean im ranked too low?

Does anyone else just get enraged because you can't count on your team to do anything in this game? I can fight off 2 people flanking us from behind and then die being shot in the back by a Torb turret THREE people on my team can't take out.

reminder that lucio is the most broken character in the game and has been broken in every season since beta

i.imgur.com/Mf0AlcX.gifv

who does he main?

>MERCY MAIN

his nades need to lose damage after they bounce is all

Reminder that the ass you posted belongs to a gay man.

should i play today? lots of people start uni today and they are prolly in their dorm playing OW instead of going to frat parties

>this general has actual, unironic silvers and bronzes

Can anyone tell me why point and capture on ranked is best of 3, instead of best of 5 now?

Get the game done before someone throws.

Zarya eats him and his team alive.

I wouldn't mind but It's 5am here in pizzaland

The people who are bad at any game are always the ones that whine the most. What's so surprising?

My PTR updated but I don't know what it did. Nothing in the patch notes...

He's as much of a "problem" as Roadhog. He's a fucking annoyance but dies like a fly after getting smacked with a flyswatter.

Did I do the right thing /owg/?

Just got banned for the fifth time on the forums, does anyone else shitpost there?

I main torbjorn, it certainly makes the game more interesting.

The OW forums are my favourite place to shitpost

Yes
agism has no place in vidya imho and being nice to lil düdes is the way to be decent fuking human being

Oh shit

wait until mercy/dva patch and try again, hopefully its next week

should shake things up a bit

I know I'm just a tad late on this, but how did Hogbros like the new comic?

Is it just me or do a lot of Mercy players literally not even move? They just stand completely still somewhere holding a beam or waiting for rez. I can't believe this character or the people who play her.

it makes me sad that roadhog is still useless and blizzard won't ever buff him again

>agism has no place in vidya
>treat him extra nice because of his age
pick one

>Soldier 76 has lights on his gun for ammo and helix rockets
>Tracer has three lights on her guns
>They don't indicate blink charges

waiting for patch to hit before doing placements

then I'll continue one tricking mercy just like every other season

>Young Squirtles, get off my lawn!

what level is this guy?
is this the neet life?

1204.

>Queue for deathmatch
>Keep getting put in matches in progress so I can't get into the top four

Dead game general?

Better than being in one from the start, dominating, then having leavers that make it end early. Why the fuck does blizzard do this?

1404, gold border starts at 1200.

not even that high compared to some nolifers I've seen

Not likely. She's still one of the easier heroes to play. If anything, the buff makes it even easier for her to pocket and carry specific individuals.

I'm glad DM is getting fucking nerfed and Mercy reworked

You were outskilled

The fact that it took Blizzard two years to realize an "undo button" is the most anti-fun mechanic imaginable is the strongest indictment of their terrible game design
