This is the face of a cute DYKE who LOVES PUSSY!

Do you think they'll ever make another game in the Overwatch universe?

I want to bully Reaper until he cries!

Here comes T.Racer!

Joke's on you yuri is my fetish.

Hope so, it's got potential, but singleplayer games don't generate shekels like online ones.

When are they going to buff McCree's falloff range?

...

never, blizzard hates him because he's the most mechanical hero.

>most mechanical hero
>not orisa, bastion or zenyatta

I'd much rather have them increase his 70 damage to 75 so that those fucking smug Tracers have at least one fucking thing to fear while owning the map as their playground.

One mid-range dink and she's in the ground, no more being dependant on just the flashbang.

Same thing for Torb, honestly, he should do 75 as well.

>mccree
>most mechanical
>not torb
????

I mean mechanical skill you dinguses

Yuri's not a fetish you fucking idiot it's a way of LIFE!

Yeah that would be nice. I would take either. He needs something to give him back his edge.

>Being this much of an autismo you can't understand a joke

>aĺlowing yourself to get cucked by a woman
Point of no return

Wait... Tracer's a LESBIAN? Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?!

If I wanted to play a sniper I'd just play Widowmaker

I know its a joke but its a shit joke

>not manzo
Waifufags...

Man, I need to start playing Bastion more often, people in low rank have no coordination at all to deal with you emptying your load all over them, especially not if you have a decent Reinhardt or Orisa and healer on your team

>implying I wouldn't try to join if given the option

Good luck sniping someone at long range with projectiles lmao dumb weeb

>koreans unironically using Doomfist in their pro lineup
But I though he was weak and considered a trollpick?

Holy fuck. Fuck junk. You can call me a salty shitter I don't care blizz fucked up. They single handedly introduced the spam meta, topped off with that trademark Blizzard Balance. This ends now.

>"support takes skill"

I wonder how does it feel to be Pharah's human piss receptacle.

wew what a shit design

Are you talking about the same people who thinks you're a bronzie if you can't deal with Junkrat or Genji when they're some of the strongest picks in high rank?

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

I never really considered Junkrat and Roadhog villains either. They may be criminals because they did things that were unlawful, like robbery, and maybe they have killed a few people, but it seems like they only kill out of self defense or kill anyone they think is corrupt. I don't think they would actually intentional kill innocent civilians, if anything they'd try to save them. I think of Junkrat as a Deadpool type. Insane, violent, but overall on the side of good.

In the comic Going Legit, before Junkrat and Roadhog found out they were set up, they actually thought they were professionals. Junkrat even thought maybe they could be seen as heroes, like Overwatch.

I would love if canonically in the Overwatch story, if Junkrat and Roadhog were recruited into Overwatch's recall.
I would love a story where McCree crosses paths with them. He tells them he knows there's a big ransom for bringing them in, but gives them a choice to join Blackwatch instead since he sees how they could be useful. It also parallels how Gabriel gave McCree the same choice when he was a criminal: join Overwatch or go to jail. I don't think Junkrat and Roadhog would be against joining OW, if it meant still doing what they've been doing while getting paid and looking like heroes.

Hmm...

Zen takes planning, an escape route, good aim, and when to pop ult

What is Zenyatta?

His recent nerfs might make him a troll pick. His punch should have the same hit box of hook but as is, it has a hitscan like size.

But you ARE a bronzie if you complain about Junkrat.

>Using FTH on a stationary target
Just, like, click on his head, nigga

I still think theyre way too freelancer-ish and wild to want to be stuck in an organisation of that caliber. They'd probably try and get bored imo.

>click head

what now faggot?

>flashbanged Genji
>stationary
In what abysmal rank do you play in where Genjis aren't double jumping 24/7?

I'll be honest. It doesn't really take that much skill. Mercy I'll be frank is simple to play, just pick up and heal. Compared to others like Ana who need good aim and for you to land every shot to heal. She's much harder but the like of Mercy, Lucio. They're quite simple. But what usually makes Supports not good is the fact that most of them are tedious to play. Keeping your teammates alive with Mercy or Lucio is very fucking difficult sometimes since you have to sit amongst you shifting teammates who move from place to place and outta your aura for Lucio. In Mercy play it's harder since you gotta keep moving from hero to hero to heal one by one and then jump back to each hero. It becomes a tedious field day if your teammates are scattered across the map and you have to jump from one to the other, healing one by one. Added on to this shit is somewhat boring (At least to me) and you get annoyed quick. I haven't mentioned Symmetra because Symmetra is the most entertaining of the Support class because you get action instead of being forced to babysit 5 teammates at once

Is Bastion the best pubstomper in low rank? People in low rank run around like headless chickens so Bastion is great for instagibbing people who are out of position as well as having 300 HP and self sustain. And he's good at dealing with Reapers and Genjis as well since you outDPS them, death is the best CC

>muh noreg

But I agree FtH should kill a stunned Genji if you control it right.

>Junkrat: "Wait a minute here, mate. Are you telling me I get to travel the world, blow stuff up and I wont be arrested for it but rather payed and considered a hero? Sign me right up!"

Junkrat is one of the top picked DPS now at every rank.

Probably, you can do okay with bastion up until mid/high plat.

>citation needed

I want to master Tracer's kit!

Wich is funny because Trashmouse problem was not addressed with his changes. He just got a little more divability.

Then his wr skyrocketed overnight.

From September 6th

Maybe, but it depends on what they would get out of it, or even what the risks are.

Me too user, me too.

What was his problem?

Tracer is for rugmunching!

>that diamond dip

Is this proof diamond/grandmaster doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about?

>hots is gonna get vodka industries and hanzo
I'm gonna spam this and hope them bronzos float to it

>flashbang gengu
>headshot
>he deflects
>can't do anything
>rmb + swift stike

ahah! clearly outplayed!

>doomfist is low and stays low
>symmetra, Orisa, mei, torbjorn and bastion go down and stay down
>that sudden reaper dive
>sudden mercy drop
>Soldier strong acros the board
>winston and Zarya just climbing

about what I expected

Nice. I've been thinking of reinstalling it but the amount of new heroes to learn seems tedious.

Holy shit he's actually the most picked DPS in GM. I hope all the clowns saying Junkrat is shit "just shoot him bronze lol" shut the fuck up now.

Maybe they'd be more inclined to join if it was a contract?
>"Your asses can be sent to the strictest jail in the world, or you can serve in Overwatch for 2 years and you're free to go."

>Mercy usage that high
Damn. PC really likes their Mercy

The biggest complain was that he feeds ults when he's just spamming down a corridor. So a smart healer with attentive teammates would just get ult charge to their healers.

Trashmouse ult being better might have actually worked against this but still feels situational. Barrier or ress sound more useful that ripipip tired to me

It's either her or Ana for primary healer and Ana is less effective because of the prevalence of D.va and Winston. Since you always need a healer, it's not that surprising.

I'd like to think that the actual game is the future of Overwatch's story. Like all these characters have come together make up a team over time to fight a common enemy (even though in the game, the enemy is the same characters). This includes Reaper, Doomfist, Widowmaker, Talon, Sombra, Zenyatra, Symmetra, Junkrat, Roadhog, etc. It explains their little exchanges to each other before each map.

Also you can easily correct this weakness with a good flanker. Crater or jengu can have a easier time with already weakened and distracted enemies

What? Tracer's not a lesbian. What are you basing that on?

You can now murder and urinate on cold body of all the players who play on chosen hero. Who would that be?
>Genji

this, and the idea that the 'game' itself is a training simulation, hence Athena's omniscient voice and the mirror matches, are the most plausible. I like to think the threat that brought them together is the hinted Aliens.

That being said, word of god/dev has already said the game isn't canon in the slightest, we're overthinking it.

>little bitches being upset about getting silenced for 30-100 days.
>just laugh because you're the toxic king and are silenced for 730 days until the year of our future lord two thousand and nineteen.

Bitches need to chill the fuck out about bans, lol.

D.va

Symmetra

Did anyone order the widowmaker statue and had it delivered yet?

>2029 is closer to us than 2009

>1453 is closer than 1945
DDD:

DELETE HORIZON LUNAR COLONY OR REWORK HOLY SHIT MALE IT AN ESCORT

No.

Mercy.

Reaper or Junkrat

stop

>Only 3369SR
>Get paired up with this
wtf

>rework 2cp entirely or give us a map ban option
Here, ffy

>now traveling to Horizon Lunar Colony

>800 is closer than 1776

You're not supposed to be in his melee range, dummy. That's why you have a sniper rifle.

THIS
fuck off

can someone fucking explain to me why genji gathers so much hate

is it because you are some support shitters that get mad when he kills you with his ult

Deflect hitbox, dash reset on eliminations (not killing blows).

...

reminder that junkrat is just a better reaper with 10x more mobility

>tfw you finally figure out orisa's spray pattern

holy damn dat damage

so... when are they going to bring back this faggot's self damage?

>word of god/dev has already said the game isn't canon in the slightest, we're overthinking it.

Oh I'm sure, but it's weird to create this big backstory and world for this game, for the game itself to not be canon. Even the payload maps have a bit of a story behind them if you think about it. Junkrat says it himself in Kings Row "So were delivering a bomb to scrap some bots and I'm getting paid for it."

I hope Blizzard does a spin off game that incorpates the storyline more. It's not like Blizzard hasn't done spinoffs before. Warcraft got World of Warcraft. Maybe Overwatch can get an RPG.

He's reaper with functional burst, non gimped mobility options and medium range.

Reapers sucks.

>New option in the Gameplay Menu: you can now ban 1 map and never get to play on it
Wich one will it be?

Numbani for me.
