I suppose it could be worse.

...

Who the fuck cares anymore? Just let the general and the game die out. PUBG is better anyway.

Why do you do this.

PUBG sucks
scavenge hunt the game

Sorry!

in what way? i refunded it 1hour after purchase because it was a trash game that was meant to be released onto console with the amount of issues it has

Well let's see
>overwatch is dead
>PUBG isn't

I assume that if you refunded PUBG you also refunded overwatch, right?

You see the difference?

Better than a game that barely functions

Flip it around and you're right.

le argumentum ad populum, noice

not really, since doing nothing out of boredom is better than PUBG

Here comes T.Racer!

Playing "RP" Overwatch servers is better than PUBG.

>let's compare a battle royale game with a team shooter
>reddit and morty

Post comics

>Sleep a pharah in ToA
>Her head is just dangling off the edge
>Tell Hanzo to kill her
>He loads a scatter arrow
>it misses her
>every bounce misses everyone
>Check his hero list
>Hanzo: 3 minutes
It was at that point i knew it was a loss

pubg is pretty much a casual magnet,even more than ow

i can see why its so popular,you just run around and loot then die every 5minutes then repeat, surely offers a much more indepth gameplay than any other popular games

...

>he thinks overwatch isn't dead
Hahahaha! Look at him and laugh

Yeah, if you actually think overwatch is better then you're an idiot. Period.
In PUBG you can actually effect the game with your personal skill. No gimmicks.

Meiniggers have to ruin everything in a pathetic attempt to be 'funny'

>In PUBG you can actually effect the game with your personal skill

if you truly cared about that you wouldn't be playing video games. overwatch is mindless entertainment, PUBG is mindless annoyance. not picking the former over the latter is pure masochism at best, retardation at worst

Why are you engaging with this motherfucker's posts seriously. Or at all.

*ice blocks your path*

>>personal skill
>>no gimmicks
>all about getting lucky with items you find
I get that OW is dying meme, but PUBG is just FOTM and a somehow shittier version of the hunger games

you're right, I've given too many (you)s alread

>effect

>giving your hard earned (you)s to bait posts

Not an interesting girl. Sorry

I don't know if Mei's aren't aware of their surroundings, or just don't care, but for every 1 good Ice Wall, i have died/failed to heal due to shitty MeiWalls some 40 times over

It's more battle royale than that grad student collaboration they call Hunger Shit

Is that why more people are playing PUBG? Is that why literally no one cares about overwatch anymore?
At least PUBG didn't try to have a competitive scene that failed miserably, at least PUBG has players, at least PUBG is skill based, at least the PUBG general doesn't hate it's own game. and at least PUBG is fun. Enjoy your dead game.

I suppose the ptr changes for D.Va and Mercy are still not live?
I'm waiting for that before coming back to the game...

Yeah nope. The playerbase for PUBG has no signs of stopping any time soon. Overwatch already died at this point.
Also PUBG doesn't have an awful reputation.

>Also PUBG doesn't have an awful reputation.
Is this bait? I swear, i hope this is bait

>says that while posting orisa

oh i'm laffin. poor delusional orisafag

Gotta hit the next 750 somehow.

Call it bait all you want. At the end of the day the truth is gnawing on the back of your brain like a parasite. You aren't having fun. I know you aren't. Nobody in this game is.
I just want to know why we still have a general when overwatch is quite literally dead.

Sorry Winston

I don't have fun playing PUBGG either.

Do you actually think PUBG's reputation is anywhere near as shitty as overwatch? Do you honestly think that?

That didn't answer my question

>That didn't answer my question

There wasn't a question in your post retard.

>Puts down spray down after a multi kill
>Doesn't get the play of the game

...

>I just want to know why we still have a general when overwatch is quite literally dead.

Learn to read, dipshit.

THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT PLAY PUBG

I wondered for a while if you were just one of those "genuinely fucked in the head and have literally nothing better to do, plus I actually enjoy doing this to people" shitposters, or if you'd just had a really bad experience trying to play Overwatch that you can never move past.
Now we know.

It's okay, user. Show us on the doll where Overwatch touched you.

That's not what you stated, so no, because OW isn't really all the shitty

In fact they're opposites
Even though a good majority of the twitch userbase is, regrettably, twitch girls playing mercy, They're still going to break her into pieces, despite the animosity

Then you have PUBG, who ban hammers anyone even considered to be a stream sniper, and a patch dedicated to making twitch streamers comfortable

one bends the knee, one breaks the back

...

Hahaha dude spelling mistakes
At least I don't play irrelevant games.

>spelling mistake
>effect
>affect
>two different words
>e not even close to a

>Posting at 3:30 AM on a video game general for a game you don't even play
>"haha, you guys are the real losers!"

>POTG has Reaper getting quad
>puts down his spray
>mercy rez's enemies behind him and he looks up
>quickly shrugs as the glow ends before getting hooked by a hog
It gave me a slight chuckle

...

So, update when?
I wanna some borderlands in my overwatch already.

>winning the game
>have an energy cut-off
>energy gets back
>turns the computer on
>waits for the internet modem to get back online
>connects to battle net
>friend request
>I add him
>it's a boludo
>asks me if I speak spanish
>I say no
>asks me if I'm brazilian

>tells me that I'm a motherfucker in my language and says the whole team reported me
>removes me
>I open the game
>lost ~40 sr thanks to the energy company
>I get pissed and then go to the ow forums and complain about it
Nigga why the fuck would I leave a game that I was going to win? These fucking Argentinean bitches are the worst. God, I wished I lived in the US or Canada...

...

As soon as all the mercy mains pull the trigger and Jeph stops having to do crowd control

Of maybe
Hear me out
Maybe it's because overwatch is a terrible game. I could have sworn we all agreed on this the last few generals. Now you guys SUDDENLY like the game again?

>its a good thing for devs to literally ignore their customers.

What's the most useless character in the hands of a good player in low-tier solo queue?

What's the best?

Post shit you have yet to see in Overwatch

>Teammate admitting a mistake he made
>A game without Hanzo, Widow, Genji, or McCree
>Someone that sounds happy on the mic at any point besides winning
>A Lucio POTG that doesnt involve environmental kills

symmetra
tracer

>ignore their customers
The entirety of the Mercy meta was hide in a corner, let people die, and with the help of a seconds worth of I-frames, slap Q and be called "good"
When even the head designer/developer looks at mercy meta, and realizes its god awful, he IS listening to the customers, just not the ones who have taken the absolute lowest skill-required hero as their permanent choice regardless of situation

The fact that resurrection exists proves overwatch is trash.

My feels..

>group of 6 stack masters in QP spamming voice lines while stomping us.

What the fuck? Why is this a thing in quick play of all places?

>>Someone that sounds happy on the mic at any point besides winning

I do a good Reinhardt impression and make people laugh. I also main him.

So it's both of the reasons?
Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

...

haha fun

The fact that you keep posting this idiocy proves you are trash

>As soon as all the mercy mains pull the trigger
You see that's the issue with actual obnoxious fags, they don't kill themselves.

...

tee hee

...

>casual game
>esport

pick 1 blizzard

>suddenly a lot less healers in games with mercy being reworked
THE HEALTHPACKS ARE MINE

>all this content they haven't added yet.

>changing heroes in deathmatch
what for?

im a rein main, cant mvoe past 3000 because i get countered so hard by everything and my sheild shreds in 2 seconds.

i want to play the monkey.

Is it just
>jump in
>zap supports and squishes
>jump out for heals
>use ult as distraction zoning/ countering ults

how the fuck do you even get to 3000 as rein? i have like a 10% winrate on him because literally nobody use the shield and we usually have 0 healers

Since D.Va can now fire while boosting how does she stop mid-boost now?

by pressing shift again
like shes always been able to do

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.

STOP
CALLING
EVERYTHING
A FUCKING META
HOLY SHIT

But it's part of the overall imprecise-labeling meta. It's been dominating gaming for the past few years.

help

fat shatters and pining enemy tanks. but even that can only take me so far

...

'tracer is a lesbian

How come overwatch doesn't have some straight up magic or super power type heroes, they all kind of seem to be tech based in a sense yet do some crazy shit anyway.

T.Racer is a racer.

how fucking long will it take blizzard to add duel back in arcade

so annoying to grind the 9 weekly wins without it, i don't want to watch my teammates aim at the ground in 3v3 elimination and become tilted by the utter lack of basic fps skills

Tracer's the closest to superpowers you'll get because of her condition. Reaper is about nanomachines, son, I still don't know what's up with Genji and Hanzo.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE UPDATE?

>Genji has a 3 second window of ultimate channel where his ult is refunded if he is CC'd
Why are genji mains so shit lol

LIKE MIDDAY-ISH EASTERN US TIME
(LATE) AFTERNOON IN BRIT / CONTINENTAL EUROPE TIME
PROBABLY

Pick a character I autisticly play and get good as from now on.

Zenyatta.
