>Previous thread:

Fuck you asshole. You're wrong.

Reposting from old thread. What do you think they are up to?

FUCK BLIZZARD FUCK ESPORTS FUCK CONTENDERS

GIVE ME BACK MY LUCIO REEEEEEEEEEEE

H.ere c.omes T.Racer!

twink boi when?

They're completely unrelated.

Overwatch's universe is much different than Diablo's, WoW's, Starcraft's, etc. being that it is much more akin to real life, and much less fantasy, and it's possible that they're recycling even more concepts from previous projects, such as Titan.

t. former game design intern shit industry btw go stem

Single player campaign

>"Endless Mode"
>Actually ends at Bonus Wave 15
Why is Blizzard a bunch of big fat liars?

Here comes T.Racer!

What would you change about Reaper to make him relevant?

It ends at 32,016 but nice try

World record is wave 21 on normal

Zippy is well and truly here, it would seem.

nothing
he needs mobility to compete but if you give him that you have to ruin his damage potential so he wouldn't be played anyways
he's okay situationally and that's okay

It actually ends at wave 40. Just because you can't get past 15 doesn't mean that's where it ends, plat shitter.

Allow him to immediately cancel wraith form via M1

>teleport is now absolutely silent
>he can cancel out of wraith
>shotguns have a narrower spread
>he's in wraith form while using his ult

>increase reaper's range AND make him invincible during ult
you should work for blizzard
you'd fit right in considering these last few patches

Light speed boost after a kill

Best game mode to farm xp?

T.Racer came!

Man, this game has a phenomenal tutorial.

I'm bored, and decided to bully my mother into trying this game out

>actually listened and followed directions
>killed the targets
>used the rockets properly
>"wow user this is pretty realistic"
>went into QP afterwards as soldier
>bronze damage, 3 deaths, 3 kills

comp or total mayhem
whatever gives you long games

lower damage by 1
add midrange alt fire that isnt cd-locked (ie zarya/hog, not 76)
probably hard cap his lifesteal healing at like 100 hps or something

Buff tanks so he can delete them

I don't like what this game has made me.

I... I... can't scream anymore. I'm out of breath.
My brain feels like it's about to have a stroke or an aneurysm.

It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.

>comp
>lose 4 games in a row
>I was heals/tanks
>dps cant figure out point and shoot
>don't trust no hos
>decide to auto lock DPS
>so does entire team
>literally zen+5dps
>one persons throwing like a normal game
>rest are still fuck awful
>get gold damage vs 4 other dps
I hate this game and need friends so im not with retards

>ME OOGA TEAM BOOGA

Double Kill

Don't bully your mom, user. Although I agree that the tutorial is really good. Tracer a qt and it shows that this game has campaign potential.

>me ooga
>team is also ooga
>can get away with playing like booga
[exuberant German laughter]

Simple, since every team runs with a mercy so often nowadays just make it so that reaps eats the souls that she can resurrect.

>wanted to prove I was better
>proved I was better
go to bed twitch watcher

>borders are still fucked

Wrait form increases movement speed by 10% but uses a resource meter

>Shadow step is now controllable, reducing you to a puddle that can be killed/hit but giving you the ability to climb up ledges

>Range increase with reduced falloff

>Death Blossom is now uncancleable but reduces movement 10%

>Shooting reaper in DB spreads more gasses making him harder to see

>Reaper has a incendiary round that is used in every first shot, which does an extra 50 damage, but has reduced range

Will we ever get another semi-auto hitscan character?

Is it too much to ask for a single character to have a glock or some shit? why can't soldier swap to his pistol?

After the halloween patch I now have a glitch where sometimes hitting enter to go in to chat will instead switch me between windowed and full screen, and it also makes escape do nothing.

It sucks SOOOOOO hard.

Guys? do you think blizz will proceed with Genji buffs? This one bugfix was okay, but not good enough to fix Genji being pretty weak currently. Any thoughts how to buff him? I really enjoy genji but think he could be in a better spot.

Who is Sombra?

one of your alt keys is stuck down

make him kill everyone by being selected

>what does semi-auto mean

>genji needs buffs
no he doesn't
get good retard

>Unironically giving weebs reasons to play

Semi auti is when you have a fire arm that can fire or a single shot or full auto if you hold the trigger

dafuck are you talking about? Lol I'm already pretty high at platinum and I kinda understand this game pretty well. Genji is playable, but pretty WEAK compared to other heroes. stop with your bullshit

Genji is fine, just don't expect to win 6v1s, Track down and kill staggering heroes, fuck up low health

agreed, genji needs buffs pretty hard, especially his ult, they should make the duration longer

Who the fuck can 1v1 roadhog?

Reaper, Rein, Mei, Good McCree, Doomfist

Mccree pretty easily if you are able to play at all

I'm fucking done with comp, this season has been the most one sided matchmaking. Might even just uninstall because its the same shit in quickplay with one team just steamrolling.

Fuck this dive meta too.

another roadhog
as it has always been

Anyone if you get the drop on him

If he gets the drop on you, then I hope you're playing Reaper and I hope you're at full health

Learn to play and carry games. Noone is gonna play for you, plat scum.

Was soldier stealth buffed this update? I feel like ge does more damage

>tfw you hack a trace, then watch her jump around and get destroyed

>tfw do the same to bastion

JUST HEADSHOT BRO IT'S SO FUCKING EASY ALL YOU DO IS AIM AT THEIR HEAD AND CLICK GOD WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING DUMB

anybody that asks retarded ass questions like mine will not be able to MLG 360 no scope out-snipe widow with retarded clint eastwood

No one, thats why jeff fantasies about daddy bear and sucking his small fucking cock.

Reaper and another Hog, so if another shitter gets them its gg for you bitch

>hurr why can't you win 1v6 scrub XD

Are you retarded? Genji is obectively the best dps in the game

>tired of playing what team needs
>game not fun
>said fuck it
>pick doomfist every game
>lost 700SR already
>having fun now

>play comp
>play McCree
>always fun

I beat the game

>play with friends
>they think sombra is shit on defense
>guy who uses mainly sombra switches her off on defense on volskaya for mei
>mfw
I had hard time convincing them that tracer us viable almost every time, how do i make them understand that sombra is basically a support?

>do either extremely good with DF
>or extremely bad

genji but higher risk with higher reward and utility ult

>mercy holds onto ult for the whole round
>uses it and immediately flies into a reaper ult and dies

they basically give you a "I cant die for the duration of my ult" button and they still fuck it up

Does 60+ FPS even matter? I tried 120 and it feels better at 60hz, but maybe it's just a placebo?

>hmm everyone hates 5 man rezes from Mercy
>lets change her ult so Mercy has the best flying mobility possible, infinite attack capacity and can still five man rez but just one at a time now while ulting, also every 30 sec free rez and lets make her ult extremely long

It's quite literally trolling to use any other healer since they're so worthless now compare to Mercy

Depending on your eyes, you might be able to detect very slight differences in FPS up to ~75 fps on a 60 Hz monitor, since the "official" refresh rates will occasionally vary wildly.

You'll definitely want a monitor with a higher refresh rate, though.

I was playing with Ana onetrick yesterday. He was in high masters pretty much every season. I'm in plat. Low plat. This guy is so good, but it was hard af. We won, but it was literally 6v7.

Thanks, i will try to play with 120 for some time than, and hope i can get out of plat hell. It's not what holding me here tho ofc.

Best way to farm boxes? Normal Junkenstein?

Playing the new event mode all day yesterday made my aim better.

Junk endless gets you like 4k+ xp if you get past bonus round 5.

Fuck Mercy, every game its the same thing of faggots putting a Zen orb on her so added with her fucking gliding she's unkillable. Which means her team is unkillable since her heal blows every other worthless healer out the water

nerf scatter

Does higher difficulties give more exp or is it only time/medal related?

I've got you in my sights

My tactic works pretty well: take Zen Dva Mercy.
Orb Mercy, dive with Dva, kill the Mercy. If Dva dies you still have rez, but you usually can escape. Zarya on your team is even better, she can bubble Dva.
If it works you got a fight if it isn't you will bate the ult.

Add a cute shota hero right now

If it's like uprising, then higher difficulties won't get you more xp.

Is legendary Junkenstein endless even possible? Apparently it has 9 bosses at once and fuck that.

Ok. Back to farming with ana/zen

Should have been doom fist.

Holy shit boosted Doomfist is scary

dead game

There's already one. He's getting bullied here.

it's the year of our lord and saviour 2017 and people in low ranks are still stumped by the enemy team picking a bastion.

junkrat is in every game and we have so many shields available and mercy can res you if you suicide dive and people are STILL saying "pls go genji" and then the mercy main who's never played him locks him in.

t. Fortnite

Which is more annoying TM Junkrat or Comp Attack Torb

>Total mayhem Junk

Good times

Mystery Heroes sym

Anyone else going to watch Apex?

you mean widow

STOP Gengu is not for bullying!

FFA. Fast matches and gives you 1000 xp. I wonder what would happen if you programmed a bot for it

>watching an even worse Dive-Comp than in the west

no thank you

Why aren't either of these teams running Mercy?
Was I wrong? Is Mercy not as strong as I thought it was? Have I proven myself to be a casual scrub once again?

>watching esports when the scene is a complete joke
In other news Team Boston has been revealed to be utter dogshit team comprised of only T2 players because HuK used to manage a T2 Canadian team.

>Hire a coach for his vast contacts
>Hiss contacts turn out to be only T2 shitters

>tfw you get a useful sombra on your team

o wait, i dont think anyone knows this feel haha bitch.
