Bastion shreds Pharah/Mercy. You'll literally force them to counter Bastion and screw up their team comp if the Pharmercy pair won't switch. And they rarely do.

I really fucking hate my shit internet
Only against stupid pairs who go right up to Bastion, if they're smart he's a soldier with a bigger hitbox and no mobility or a tickle machine, really not that good. They shouldn't have gutted the sentry gun like they did.

They buffed his recon mode. He's a more selfish Soldier with a better rifle. Sentry is for being sneaky. You do always want to get the jump on them. If they catch you first, you're better off disengaging and trying again or helping your DPS get them in recon.

Burst fire on recon is still a viable strat on Bastion. But anytime you can catch them first with sentry, they're fucked and Bastion in general needs to be counterpicked. It's viable in the average ranks and in upper diamond I assume most DPS can handle Pharmercy where it's not an issue to begin with.

t. Platinum shitter

I hate Mercy so much.
Rate!

I stopped playing after hook 2.0 came in and the chain broke if the victim sneezed, can someone give me a quick rundown on the changes to roadhog since then?

The wiki doesn't have even close to up to date patch notes

His gun does less damage so it doesn't just automatically one-shot, you need to aim and sometimes melee to finish them off. It fires faster and has one extra shot. Roadhog can move now while huffing petrol and has a 50% damage reduction while doing so. Apparently he can survive a d.va bomb while huffing which is fucking hilarious.

Thanks. Guessing you can still only hook people standing in plain view? I'm considering getting back into OW just to play Pharah in DM and TDM

Now is a bit of a dark time for pig mains. They gutted his damage by 1/3, he can no longer one shot squishies. To """""""""balance""""""""" this damage reduction they gave him an extra shot (son now 5 shots) and increased his fire rate, but like I said you cant one shot full health squishies reliably anymore. Following up with a melle still works most of the time though. Heroes like tracer and lucio are almost impossible to one shot since they can easily get away from you after you hook and not get meleed.

They did buff his healing though, he can now move around while healing and takes 50% less damage while doing so. Still playable but definitely not the same hog as before. I can't have total control over a choke point like I used to with hog.

quit during season 3
is overwatch less shit now

I am annoyed. I talk to this guy on overwatch who is very nice but not very good at teamwork or the game he mains mercy on average does 4k heals every ten mins. He befriended someone with 4k SR and got him to carry him in comp up to 3k. Now the guy is bragging to me and will not stop.

Yeah, still breaks when line of sight is broken. DM sucks with the not-chateau map so don't bother.

no

>DM sucks with the not-chateau map so don't bother.
Fuck, I mean when it isn't the chateau map DM sucks, it has the regular maps in rotation now which all are fucking terrible for deathmatch.

Pharah is pretty horrible in DM that isn't the inside of Chateau or King's Row. The mode is full of Genji and McCree.

Velma Mei skin when?

No more solo flanker hog.
Hook is still wonky, less so I guess.
He has an extra clip now and shoots much faster than he used to.
Spread seems random as fuck (moreso than before).
You'll do between long range shot gun instant death damage with your right click or fuck all jack shit.
You can move while healing now, you also take 50% less damage while hit doing it.

If you were used to playing him as a solo flanker, you'll hate how he is now. If you can hook damaged or low HP targets, you'll almost always come out on top. He's a damage sponge now so you'll never die 1vs1 but you'll also not secure a kill if it's a high HP/Self-sustain like yourself. Best strat is to hook targets into your team and be the guy that goes in first. Even if your support is lacking or if you're without one all together, Roadhog can (still) support himself and tank multiple threats with relative ease. You'll be hard pressed to kill any of them though unless your team actually has your back. They took a lot of Roadhog's bite away from him.

He's still a good counterpick to your own teams shit picks.

>all these people being bad

right click
hook
left click
melee

95% of the time your target will die, it's just a little bit slower than before.

Hnnnng, ahhhh... good morning /owg/!

Having to right click before hooking requires extra brain power for them. Don't expect much.

this.

I didn't call the new roadhog shit, I just detailed his changes you fucking idiot.

God fucking damn it. Should I buy Quake Champions?

Who would be in favor of turning Doomfist into an offtank/dps hybrid with a focus on big damage through combos and disruption, less on relying on his punch to make cheap/suicidal picks?

>More emphasis on landing combos to damage and disrupt the enemy, maybe add a reset to his slam on elimination or a general 4/4/4 CD time on his abilities.
>More survivability either in the form of armor, slimmer hitbox, or getting more health via his passive.
>No one-shot punch, but if he slams the target into a wall, he gets additional temporary health.
>His primary is made more reliable, and possibly gives health back on hit. Either increase the projectile speed, tightness, or just make it hitscan.

>yfw it says 76 on his shirt

Jeff is so anti-creative it's insane.

don't
id and Beth have no fucking idea on what they want to do with QC
it might not even survive till next Quakecon

Any half-decent Reaper will eat your face 100% of the time. You're a walking health pack.

When will a third Shimada sibling pop up as a healer so that gengu mains actually go healer for once?

I want to bully Bastion until it cries!

>heal people with nun-chucks
>ultimate gives a team mate dragon blade
>if you use it on genji and he uses his ult he has lmao 2kat

They still won't

>we will never get a velma skin for mei that proves she's thicc, not fat.
it hurts.

>tell team that we have one tank and it's not even a shield tank so we can't hold the choke, fight to the point
>Doomfist and Mercy duo que proceeds to stand in the choke and get fucking run over by their whole team
>"Wtf wasn't the team holding the choke? Now we lost"

I'd love that, but he'd still be a shit hero.

All he needs is 50 extra armor on top of his 250 HP so he can survive headshots from snipers and attacks by Reaper and Roadhog. In exchange, make him only able to gain +100 shields from punching people instead of +150.

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ROADHOG HAS COUNTERS NOW REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That would be great. The longer cooldowns on his slam and uppercut are really detrimental. I'm fine with the one shot especially since the hitbox is incredibly small now

...

>your junkrat main in nepal
>goes bottom right when the rest of the team goes top left
>he gets instantly destroyed
>both healers ask him to stay with team
>"ITS CUTE YOU WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO ABOUT TAKING COMMAND, BUT FUCK YOU"
>"SHUT THE FUCK UP"
>he proceeds to die mere seconds into the fights
>his ults get shot down
Are Junkrats the new Genjis?

He's right tho about the 'you watched a youtube video about taking command' part

Source please

i guess, if by "watched a youtube video" you mean "people ask a simple question" and "taking command" as "wanting to know why your teammate is an idiot"

that's all i've got user, i wish i knew the source, i'm sorry.

Oh boy, a new day!
I'm so happy to start playing Overwatch!
Time to lose sr!
kill me

reminder that mei is fat and gross and probably smells bad.

This is the most balanced hero in the game.
There is nothing overpowered or underpowered about him.

>over 100% usage
>balanced

yeah that is why he is picked in 99% of progames right

I wouldn't call them junkets mains but yes theres been a sudden increase in junkrats and they're all ass.

That's only because there is literally no other hero in the game that can give a speedboost to an ally.

>sr is supposedly based on performing on a specific hero
>if you play meta - you gain a little and lose alot
>if you play nonmeta - team will think you're throwing and go full retard
Really makes me think.

How do I deal with reaper as a tank? How do I deal with a roadhog AND a reaper as a tank? Am I just at the mercy of the skill of my own dps?

I thought they fixed the sr shit for nonmeta heroes

Widowmaker and Hanzo were a mistake. Who thought it was 'fun' to get one shot right as you turn around a corner?
I get that the dev team balance around their own experiences and since they're a bunch of plat players with 30% accuracy on Widow or Hanzo and 10% crit accuracy, they're fun and balanced to play against.

is there anyone here who loved mei?

oh boy.
*loves.

I might just be the slowest person in the world. I only just realised Mercy's name has "Angel" in it.

Drogoz

>Junkertown is another fucking shit map
I'm getting tired of this. Who the fuck is designing these pieces of trash?

Its got "junk" in the name user, that should have been the first sign.

they're all backdrops for animated shorts, gameplay comes second

pretty much nothing you can do excepty trying to avoid or control him with your abilities

>The first two minutes of JT is trying to get out of the fucking spawn

WATCH ME GO

I really miss launch speed boost

Is it just because I'm in shitter rank but is Orisa pretty strong right now? Her damage output is ridiculous for being a tank, she melts down other tanks, her shield is pretty damn strong for being on such a short cooldown and her ult is amazing as well, especially in lower ranks where people don't know how to flank and just fight 6v6 all the time.

What do you think Angela means, genius?

shitrisa is only strong if the other team's completely uncoordinated

>my dps suck unless I play dps
>every game has 3 instalocked dps

cute shoebill

She's still the best tank for dealing with other tanks which is pretty damn valuable when you're playing without a coordinated team

Detach boost and increased wallride speed is also neat though.

pat her shoebill head user

I miss 50% Discord. I didn't mind 150 HP

what is with this dumb af looking hair style?

who thought this looked good?

She's some kind of bird from that meme anime.

it's trying to resemble a Shoebill's beak, albeit it doesn't really do that
fuck you Kemono Friends is great

>kill genji as he pressed his ult
>mercy revives him
>he activate his ult second time

Here comes T.Racer.
