D.va!

i wanted to get hugged!

Here comes T.Racer!

this drawing disgusts me

waifu poll

strawpoll.me/14172728

Are opening posts supposed to be about waifus?

I want to give Orisa the loving fuggin she deserves

Orisa is the cutest and has an amazing ass

>overwatch general

>reduce Mcree's falloff damage by 50% (44-70 damage on hit, rather than 22-70)

>for every 2 bullet in the chamber, reduce the cooldown of Combat Rool

>Hitbox is flattened during Combat roll to make Mcree essentially immune to hitscan/projectile for its duration

Is Mcree good again?

MoJ!

Auxiliary opening Bloo post.

Every time I see this thumbnail I think her front right leg is a horsecock

1) Go make another thread on /v/ about that stupid activision shit because it doesn't affect overwatch
2) This image is and always will be more accurate

Yes she does.

>widow that low
/owg/ is not as tasteless as I thought.

>yet another namefag redditor

Add Orisa to the poll you piece of shit

...

>poo at the bottom
good general

I get the rest, but what is season 4?

Cheers luv, the cavalrys here!

Supports are best

the women are shit except mercy who is overpowered and killing the game from the inside out
the dudes are perfectly fine tho

>dive meta
>also the season that Ana got nerfed and her counters (Winston with eternal bubble and 2 hours uptime DM D.Va were in 99% of the games)

first for gay mercies

I didn't make that post, the joke was meant to be
>long thought out post about corporate business practices
>Official coal-burning power ranking

S1 had a literal coin flip system is you each won the first map to decide who would get to attack, once. It was shit

S2 was Beyblade (Death Blossom+Nanospeed+Speed boost=Hilarious meta for a bit)

S3 was the Triple/Quadruple tank meta, where that Tanks took enough damage for Ana to build ult, at which point hey snowballed and won. Large healthpools and prenerfHog also added on.

S4 was the death of tritank. Ana got bonked by the nerf hammer into obscurity, and Hog got neutered, meaning that a one hero limit version of the beta meta-2 tracer 2 winston 2 lucio- came in and it came in hard. Dive took dominance. They rely on their high DPS, ridiculous mobility and lack of any counter (especially after the Hog nerfs) to shred anything before them.

S5 was when it got stale and toxic. Dive was getting boring and there was a community shift based on the in-game toxicity. The report feature was added, but bar that the meta has not really changed since.

S6 is the land of Mercy. Make no mistake, Dive is still the absolute meta-but now Mercy replaces Zen or the third DPS. She has nigh 100% pickrate across all tiers. Brokenly good, throwing if you don't pick her.

clavlaries

Thanks for explaining, yeah I got the connection to dive, but I don't remember Ana being part of the dive.
Dive has been meta now for 3 seasons?

No I get the joke this general is all over the place in discussion and tone, I thought you were the guy who made the first post however mad that he was superseded by waifu faggotry

cavalry's

Damn dude. That's a wild ride.

Ana is on a noose if you use those little ball eyes of yours, it implies that she died from jumping off the *dive*ing board

...

How can I get a badass battle scar like this beauty?

That's a noose? Well, at least I get it now.

Good night /owg/. Don't let the shitposters bite.

Yeah pretty much 3 seasons.
But we've got some variety now with some teams that run Junkrat.
Also McCree is being used a lot more lately in high tiers for reasons that I don't know
Maybe he can deal with the flying Mercy easier.

What else was it going to be? A scarf?

Thanks my man have a tracer

is he just checking to make sure zenyatta's ok?

Goodnight tracerfriend

Anyone got the imgur link for the concept art?

Any time. same price, preferably in sombreros though

>tfw tracer sits on your face

>it's torb's UI

Kek just noticed that.
Why is that midget so pervy? Doesn't he know Tracy is lesbian and doesn't want ugly Manlets anywhere near her ass?

>and there was a community shift based on the in-game toxicity.

you can't even play qp without someone trying to play like it is a ranked

the only safe place right now is mh and ffa

get drunk then throw a knife in the air and catch it in your mouth

sombreros?

Hello what's the gossip?

What kind of counter is needed against Dive? We might get a new hero soon.

So other games are not only copying OW heroes but are also copying OW heroes concepts.
Nice.

>sombreros

Doomfist was supposed to fill that role but now he's just warming the bench

grey grey blue grey

>everyone wants a mercy on their team
>no one wants to play mercy
>everyone wants to have "good" tanks
>no one wants to play "good" tanks
>when you refuse to fill for idiots you get shat on and accused of throwing
>this happened 4 times in a row in Comp
>the fifth game had a leaver
Wow I sure love this skill intensive game with a working matchmaking system! I love losing 100+ SR due to literal random chance!

Isn't Doomfist more part of the dive then a counter against it?

Roadhog was the best answer but now he has to rely more on people taking advantage of his catches. If you want to stop the divers then better CC is needed

Give up and throw as well. I'm having a blast.

Not really, he's best at backline defense. Or, was.

dont play solo queue

Alright gentleman.
How do we fix Reaper's teleport?

Leave Gigantic alone we only bully Paladins.

Mccree was always a good character, it's just that he was super weak to DM and being dived, now that those aren't as powerful he can thrive.

Deadeye is also one of only real counters to Valkyrie and Mccree is one of the few characters that can even touch Mercy while she's ulting.

nice

I remember the game evolve had a system where you there always had to be one of every role (you put in a preference for which you wanted and matchmaking decided if you go it or not).
Would a system like that work for overwatch?

yes

Remove noise and add invincibility

steamcharts.com/app/327690
Yeah gigantic doesn't need your help to call itself shit

He is better used as a backline protector peeling his supports with his punch/skills instead of diving into the enemy team.
At least that's how he was used in pro matches for the little time he got to be used before nerfed to Oblivion.
Also to answer your question dive will stop being the best meta whenever Mei/Torb/Symmetra i.e. defense heroes stop being meme picks. This will hopefully never happen because imagine having to play every game against a strong Mei or Torb.

>finish a match full of shitters and children where we couldn't even get out the front door
>enough exp to level
>open loot box

WTF I love shitters and children now.

Experience Nothingness

And Battleborn, and Lawbreakers

None of my friends play this game anymore, soloQ is all I have. And that means playing Mercy for a bunch of mouthbreathers or face 100% certain defeat.

I'll play with you, user

EDGY SUPPORT WHEN?!

something something talon vampire healer

am i original yet

I want the Blizzcon hero if it's going to be a "lore" character to be Athena (or Liao I guess) anything else like Queen or Hammond is just going to sicken me. Otherwise out of left field hero like Orisa, the Irish hero, Aoife O'Hara.

LoL has that system as well, but it wouldn't work for Overwatch because it's supposed to be a game about switching heroes. Also because DPS players would wait literally 10+ minutes to find a game while healers would get instant matches.

The whole problem could be solved by making every hero at least somewhat balanced and interesting to play but that will never happen. Blizzard will continue forcing literally braindead characters like Mercy into the meta and there's nothing we can do about it.

>tfw no ilios hoplite defense hero

Huh, guess I got the wrong impression of him.
Yeah, I really would hate seeing good defense matchups. I'd like to see it for variation, but the thought of having to face against that multiple times makes me already annoyed. No chance that the defense stuff is slightly buffed, just enough that they are no longer meme choices and not broken?

Forgot about those games but in a way I was bullying them by not even mentioning them.

I want to make out with Sombra.

There honestly isn't one any more.
Roadhog worked because he could delete any member of Dive and the rest would crumble from that, but now Mercy can rez every 30 seconds Dive could ignore their loss and carry on shredding, with the same amount of momentum they rely on.

Honestly, we need a heavily zoning/knockback based tank. A long range knockback focused tank (minimal damage) which can survive being dived on for 5 seconds is what's needed. Rein and Orisa can't outdamage or outmanoeuvre Dive, Zarya and Hog can't protect the team in general, Winston and D.Va are dive itself. The problem isn't as easy as 'counter' dive, otherwise Doomfist would have been what we needed.
However at this point we need a new healer more for the health of the game in general.

So user which bullet do you take? The one labelled 'same meta for 6 months in a row' or the one labelled 'since launch only 4 mandatory healers, of which 3 are viable'

Most people forgot Lawbreakers, its literally a dead game now

STOP everytime someone mentions a vampiric healer a child in Africa dies.

>not robot talon vampire healer from Ireland
Get a load at this faggot

>vampire
Come on you can do better than that

Stay away user, I'm cursed.

>make a game with a mind-numbingly boring character to appeal to gurl gamers/trannies
>make character so oppressively powerful that she is mandatory at all levels of competitive play
>when no one else wants to play your shitty unfun character, force players into playing her
This game needs more characters like Ana if you want to get people to play support.

the reason why it looks off is because the artist drew it based off the blurred leak, hence the guys porn would literally be the first quality shit on the internet. That's why Olivia looks a bit weird

What's your rank? What do you usually play besides mercy?

>The whole problem could be solved by making every hero at least somewhat balanced and interesting to play but that will never happen
Honestly, do people really think it's that easy to balance a game? I know the meta is terrible right now, but I see no reason why Blizz would want that intentionally to happen.
What game has made a fully balanced meta that no one complains about?

Sad because Gigantic actually does have great hero design. They should have used their assets to make a story game instead.

scrap it altogether. Then make wraithform function like shift from the Friday the 13th game
