Here comes T.Racer!

I will never stop loving her.

kill yourself.
shitty threads isn't what this dying general needs

...

If you're asking if Blizzard's ever released some sort of lossless Blu-Ray compilation, no. Download from Youtube or Twitter.

Why do people run in front of my shield when I play Reinhardt?

>tf2g
>the overtard is also a le hatte simulator xD meme supreme

Reminder that Winston is love!

And peanut butter!

a very high res tracey

It's over a month until Halloween, stay in your grave

Winston has friends!

Play D. Va instead, that way you can project your shield out in front of your tea-

wait, never mind, DPSfags thought we needed another DPS character

You're too slow for them

D. Va is lame anyway because she doesn't have any badass skins. Only regular palette swaps or weird joke skins.

why aren't you guys playing paladins?

Thank you user, that's very nice. I wonder how they managed to make an animated character look this cute.

Nigga looks like something from a mcdonalds happy meal

>that one guy who keeps trying to recruit people to play paloldins
what's his story?

>Bloodhardt
>Vampire Symmetra
>Devil Mercy
>Jet Soldier
>Blood Reaper

Who should be the last member of Team Badass? Omnic Crisis Bastion maybe?

I wish I knew user, but that's my wallpaper, so I get reminded of their success every day

>Hog and Rein are meta again
Feels good lads

Feels good to have the old champa back, so much more comfy

I love Angela!

I want to be her dependable and trustworthy partner and help her accomplish her dreams!

what did they change?

>Like the characters
>Have never played the game
>Would be terrible at it
>Have never liked any Blizzard game

She seems specially flat in that skin.

still cute and huggable

Nearly impossible to kill when Take a Breather isn't on cooldown unless you stop the heals.

>tfw no Bloo Chateau 24/7 except for custom games

>play the game all day every day
>practically never win in any mode anymore
>check stat tracking site
>exactly 7 wins in the last week
>those wins were me being carried by smurfs

I have 850+ hours played and have never struggled more than in the last few weeks
This shit is making me want to kill myself

>mfw just bought an ssd so I can instalock faster

where are you people viewing these stats sites?
I thought one of the older patches prevented all of them from working anymore.

She's squishy so don't hug too hard.

Desu there's a hero for everyone.
Terrible feel. Chateau is one of the best maps. Comfy as fuck.

comfy is just a code word for boring desu

>enemy team accuses your team of getting carried by you after you have a good game

>enemy team/my team says anything nice about how I played
>unable to take a compliment and think they're being sarcastic and shit talking

cool beans, gonna try him out again.
tfw no beach widowmaker figure

I promise to be gentle

if the changes dont go live tuesday I swear to god Jeff

Will my team hate me if I pick Bastion or Winston?

no

>Bastion
probably, unless they're willing to build around you
>Winston
nah

Write me a 500 word essay on why you'd be a good Bastion/Winston. Brainlets need not apply.

>winston
if anything your team will appreciate you

>It's a 2cp

im good at shooting and bastion does the most dps of any hero. all u need to know

I'm good at clicking at enemies, and unlike other Bastions I've seen I'm pretty dynamic at my movement, microcamping at varied spots and also trying to flank to quickly kill squishies.
I'm average at Winston, so far my only gameplay paradigm with him is to jump at isolated heroes and chase them down, using the jump for movement to and from combat zones, and providing shields for DSP heroes at chokespots.

splashbrush mercy makes my naughty bits feel good

...

Is it even possible to play D.va and not get all gold medals?

This is the monster that Blizzard wants to give extra burst dps on a low CD, geeez

the rockets do piss poor damage yo

My DVA playstyle was heavily centered on actually being a tank and using DM to protect teammates, so I'm screwed.

>mute voice chat
>leave team chat
>disable match chat
>game becomes fun again

really makes you think...

I learned how to ignore teammates in Dota 2 soloqueue, and it's been a valid strategy for enjoyment ever since. Most people on EU don't say shit anyway.

Doesn't matter, the shoot while boosting is enough to make her burst rediculous, add 40-60 damage from rockets and she can duel basically every squishy with little effort.

These are woefully short and I was looking for signature bullying techniques. I'm sorry, but you'll just have to play Genji or something.

It's looks more like someone is coming on T.Racer

>start match
>wave hello while waiting in spawn
>everyone starts waving hello back
>round starts
>we're still waving hello on the way to the point
>two rounds in we're still spamming hello
>none of us have said a single word in text or voice chat for the entire match
>get several perfectly coordinated ult combos and teamwipes
>only actual communication was hello spam
>we're still spamming it in the victory screen

You should try winning 2 in a row

hahaha good one user

You're ranked where you belong user :)

too bad she doesn't love you back, she doesn't even exist.

Holy shit, what is it about comp that just turns your average player's skill to shit?

It's like the pressure of losing that delicious SR makes everyone just lose their spaghetti and make stupid mistakes.

>playing hog and zen in dm
>big sweater on and the fire is crackling
>sipping on some tea
>listening to youtube.com/watch?v=h8W73zB4VMM
>feelscomfyman

I hope everyone else is wrapping up their weekend with some well-deserved comfiness.

>tfw your state's too busy being on fire to get cold

>tfw playing comfy mercy in a comfy chair with an oversized sweater
thanks user! It's a good kind of cold today.

naisu

>tfw you're basically still in hot summer weather until october

>she doesn't even exist
That is exactly why Tracer is so perfect. She is not susceptible to the flaws of existence that plague us all. She is too pure for this cruel and heartless world.

I hope sweater weather comes sooner than you think then user :>

Plus it makes you develop your game sense. Without someone being able to tell you where something is at, you start paying attention to where everything is by yourself.

>tfw your area only gets a week or two of feeling like fall in october before harsh winter until march
>tfw all the trees stay green year round so it never "looks" like fall

This makes me feel good inside.
Few things do these days.

...
Northern Nevada?

When are they gonna nerf Zenyatta into the ground?

where the heck are you from ?

northern california, a few hours away from oregon

Never ever ever

you don't remember the time when widow could one-shot a zenyatta with an uncharged bodyshot and there was nothing you could do about it because you have no movement abilities

the last thing he needs is a nerf

>"Traveling to Ho-"

...

>tfw someone bites the bullet and tanks the sr penalty so you don't have to suffer through that map

>you don't remember the time when widow could one-shot a zenyatta with an uncharged bodyshot and there was nothing you could do about it because you have no movement abilities

I remember 50% bonus damage discords. Trash hero for trash players.

Hollywood, or Horizon Lunar Colony?
Or Hanamure?

Wasn't that just for a few weeks though?

God it is so awful to play DF these days., good job Blizzard.

post more

I'm surprised that the OW general is dying.

is there a discord for this general ? Like to play with each other and stuff.

No.

no, there has never been and will never be an /owg/ discord

>a bunch of autists complaing about autists
>playing together

people probably waiting for patch, at least I am

Why do these new IPs keep coming to the general to claim that it's dying?

Jeff never making a clan system is probably the best thing he could do ever do for /owg/

>100 replies in 2 hours
>dying
It's only faster back when it launched, and when there's the first days when an event begins.

You can also go to his tumblr. He has most of them up there.

I've been too busy recently to see if anything has changed, but last I knew, a few dedicated spamposters were doing a number on the thread. That might discourage some people.
As for where the rest of the serious discussion has gone... dunno. Maybe we've just discussed everything already. We all pretty much know at this point which heroes are useful, weak, overpowered, broken, etc. We know what changes are coming, we've seen people's hero ideas, we get that everyone hates 2CP... maybe it's difficult to come up with ground that we haven't already tread.

clans have always been a dumb thing in multiplayer gaming desu

it's like the precursor to all the edgy periphrials marketed to gamers
