It's like this game WANTS me to quit.

Are you seriously blaming the game for you being a clumsy Amerifat?

My mouse cord once snapped in the middle of a competitive game.

Bad idea user
You're tempted to take a swig when you're dead, but then mercy flies in and rezzes you
You can't do shit because you're either no mouse or no KB
Then your teammates get to watch you standing there like a tard and die in the same spot

wow fucking blizzard shakea my head

I had a Sensei die on me in the middle of R6 Siege casual, I've had no problems so far with Zowie EC2-A

serious question

did blizzard actually reduce the size of widows ass this season? I remember someone else pointed it out just recently. I thought they were just making shit up, but after looking more it seems like it is just barely a little bit smaller.

>Playing Attack on Route 66
>Playing McCree
>Whole team kinda wanders off
>Jump on payload to keep it moving
>Die 1v4 against enemy team
>Say "OK guys let's just push again together, who has what ult?"
>Mercy flies in and solo rezzes me and starts damage boosting me
>I'm alone with 4 people from the enemy team a meter away from me in all directions like Poor Little White Cowboy
>Throw Flashbang and try to at least FtH kill somebody
>Die
>Mercy dies
>When she respawns she spams "Thanks" at me
>We lose the game later on
>This shit Mercy main comes on mic for the first time all game to say how we're all shit players and her last team was so much better and knew how to play the game

The rework cannot go live fast enough.
Please Blizzard... please...

> glass of coke
>not watta
You asked for it, user.

It got reduced when the game first came out, the only reason people knew was because the idiots forgot to reduce it for her ult too. You're just a placeboofag.

>win a match
>form a group
>win maybe another 2-3 matches
>everyones having fun and talking
>lose 1 match
>everyone leaves group without saying anything.

I'm blaming the game for not letting me rejoin.

I know about that you dumb fuck, I meant since then it seems like they made small adjustments again.

So how the fuck IS sr gain/loss calculated?
It doesnt take your performance into account like that old meme implies, right?

>serious question
No her ass size didn't change.

No it actually takes the worst performing teammate in to account

do you guys think you should always be climbing up the ranks as long as you hold a minimum 50% winrate?

Those hips could carry my baby...

I really hope we get a new mummy skin for Ana for Halloween.

She's an Egyptian mom, it's perfect.

>know about that you dumb fuck
Then you're an even bigger retard. No they didn't secretly nerf her ass and only your porn addicted eyes noticed.

Her ghoul skin is pretty fun

Started wearing it again already

>geriatric woman hunched over in skintight bandages

no

i love mei!

>I dont think they made a change because ur dumb

nice logic

Anyone watching contenders? It's currently the most embarrassing game

>Misfits run pharahmercy

>>>>>EU pro scene
It's like watching a fucking solo-q plat game, it's so bad

Fucking hell. I'm in this weird paradigm where if I don't play mercy because a one rick or 'main' picks her up I will almost never get healed. Yet, if I do play Mercy I get 5 dps who are not on the point or payload and want me to pocket them into their insane kamikaze rush at the enemy who has grouped up.

Had a match not 15 minutes ago where a Mcree was whining for health when he only lost like 5 HP where Rein was nearly dead after a push.

I don't know if it's my naturally bad luck or the people who play this. But I'm getting the thousand yard stare.

Shibs here! Sorry for the wait, I'm here to draw cute requests!

draw winston and bastion together.

>get caught by stray bullet
>crashing noise, bunch of bleeps and shit like i'm an inch from death
>lost 7hp

WHY IS THIS GAME SO DUMB
STOP DOING THIS

...

I don't have any words, they think the professional overwatch will be taken seriously?

Mercy crying after the rework.

Can I get a real answer please.

viking torb confirmed

>average meifag
Kek its no wonder they lost

I like this idea.

...

My mx518 died in the middle of a placement, in overtime last season.

More like covered in blood splatter with that stupid grin asking if they 'need a doktor'.

nevermind the mei what the fuck is roadhog trying to do

I've begun to realize that instalocking Zen is usually the correct choice when you go support. Don't need to worry too much about your team being disjointed as long as you have sightlines. Don't need to worry too much about flankers as long as you can aim your orbs. Alt fire usually clears flankers out fairly well. Transcendence can save your team or initiate a push if you're desperate. And if your team doesn't like Zen solo heals they can switch to a support. This Mercy solo main healer meme is over-exaggerated. Your healing and rez gets gimped if your team is a thousand miles apart. Zen is the answer.

>put 2cp maps in FFA
WHY THE FUCK? WHO DECIDED THIS WAS OK?

>the hog walks into a wall like a retard instead of just healing and running off

ded

STOP FUCKING DROPPING ME FROM THE SERVERS WITH YOUR UNEXPECTED ERROR BULLSHIT YOU NIGGERS

>SK just dicking about vs EU teams

Seems about right

Hacking the shit out of tracer's and genjis is so fun.

>try to have fun
>dont
excuse me, Overbabs?

Hahaha dude time for another thread of a game we supposedly don't like (: dead game am I right guys? Hahaha

Reminder.

I'll give it a shot, but my aim with him is a luck draw.

Reminder only the pro player who's /ourguy/ is Sinatraa.

The damage noises make no sense.

McCree headshotting you is practically inaudible, but D.Va makes the same racket from any range.

>Play Mercy
>Excited for the changes
>Other mercy players whining like its the end of the world

Why? What was fun about dicking around until your ult was up, purposefully waiting till your team dies just so you can 4+ rez and feel like you matter for a few seconds?

It encouraged such a boring playstyle and there really was nothing the enemy could do about it unless they managed to kill you before you even got to your team, otherwise you could just fly from miles away and instantly rez while your ult made you unkillable for several seconds

...

It's all about learning how to lead shots.

that's nice and dandy but you're pretty fucked if you need to heal your tanks
30hp/s healing isn't great for solo healing. if you really have an aversion against mercy/ana you are better off playing lucio.

What is it was a design similar to this?

>pirate Ana

Too bad we already have a pirate Torbjorn and a pirate Roadhog.

I'm surprised Bastion didn't get a pirate skin with a parrot.

If I plink someone as Mcree, the reaction sound from the target (e.g. "cut it out" from winston) is far more obvious than if you just got headshot in the face for half your health
It's pretty dumb, because at high levels a team callout's instantly made if someone gets half their HP knocked off so they can get picked before the healers can react - but the immediate indication for the player that's about to get ganked is basically inaudible

Why do Lucios bitch about having gold elims? When I have gold or silver elims as lucio we are probably winning since that means I'm forward running around supporting other people.

>pirate-theme Bastion
>picrelated is his tank config
All of my money!

because usually it means that the heroes meant for getting kills aren't doing their fucking job

It's not that I'm really averse to playing Mercy or Ana, I just find that Zen can do a lot more when your team goes 4-5 dps. Mercy just seems to be in a shit ton of risk in those situations when having to zip between flanking dps and her tanks while Zen can stick with his tanks in relative safety and slap his orb between tanks/dps as needed. Zen's healing really isn't that bad and hopefully your tank can use their barrier well enough to get healed and survive while I kill whatever is trying to kill him.

Welcome to team based games. Where you ooga and your team boogas.
If the dps os that bad I either go Zen or Soldier and do it myself. You know you're at low skill when you can solo a winston as zen. If they're bad to the point that I can't heal them even if I try then I just go Hog and make life hell for the other team's healer.

a pirate skin would be great for Junkrat too

Blizzard should just give everyone pirate skins

I want every character to have themed skins. Like we have Punk Tracer, Graffiti Tracer, Jazzy Lucio, Greaser D.Va, why not a musical period-themed skin for every character? Why didn't everybody have a Halloween outfit the first time around? Why didn't everybody have a "summer" outfit this time around? We have Officer D.Va, why not Sheriff McCree? Soldier as a hardboiled 80s cop? Reaper as a shady crooked detective in a trenchcoat? Torb as a traffic cop?

Enjoy~ Sorry, I'm not good at drawing animals and machines ;w;

>tfw no friends to play with

This is really good!
Can you draw widowmaker farting?
It's not for dirty reasons
Hahaha

>Like we have Punk Tracer, Graffiti Tracer, Jazzy Lucio, Greaser D.Va, why not a musical period-themed skin for every character?

Don't forget Mariachi/El Blanco Reaper

How does Zarya work?

What are her strengths?

COSMONAUT ZARYA!

Yeah, Junk is begging for a pirate skin. Wooden peg leg, black round bombs, tire with a steering wheel etc.

I just don't understand people like this.
It's alright if you don't like the game, but what bothers me is how these people keep playing it. I've even seen so many posts of people insisting they're only playing because they're "addicted to lootboxes". It's so fucking stupid.
Either play the game or don't

>playing winston in qp
>enemies have genji, widow and sym
>none of them switch
>at the end they complain about winston being OP
>check their profiles
>they're all gm

You already got it a few threads ago

First you listen, then I kill.

I usually go Tracer if I want to make their healer suffer. I feel pretty bad when it's a Mercy and the tank literally does not give a fuck. But I'll give Hog a try. I wish I would've sooner though before the nerf.

WHAT? I WAS OUT OF TOWN. POST THIS NOW!

I wish he always sounded like that

Draw Zen on a date with D.va's suit while she peaks through the window.

POST COSMONAUT ZARYA RIGHT NOW YOU MEAN PEOPLE

I wish my parents were happy

Maybe next time stay tuned when your threadly neighborhood drawnon is around ;)

I wish i was happy

reminder that Genji players literally believe their character and ult takes skill and is balanced

When's mercy rework already?

Seriously one more time i hear this meme ult i'm gonna kill someone.

Sometimes I wish I didn't suffer from Peyronie's disease and had the confidence to go to the doctor.
