they're blizzard so they're retarded
even if they did know about it why the fuck would they care about balancing it they only care about esports

I want to bully Moira until she cries!

Here comes T.racer!

>tfw the avoid player feature will never come back

First for best waifu

Why don't they make behaviour score system like Dota or CS? It's better than banning people for no valid reason.

post barbarian zarya lewds or fanart

Too bad. She's the bully around here.

Quick reminder that you can't even git really gud with a hero without getting banned

I don't know, the easy fix would be to just make wins and losses have a set amount of sr gain and loss, so I don't know why they keep
seeming to insist that a "skill" based sr system is needed.

>entirely because one widow got butthurt over slightly long wait times

how likely is it that Blizzard will nerf moiras shift jumping?

>implying you can bully a darksider irish ginger lass

hopefully not, more characters should have mobility

seconding this fact

>Widow main couldn't get into a game
>Blizzard considered this a bad thing

How do I get good at pharah? I enjoy playing her a lot, but once someone good switches to a McCree, Widow, or Soldier 76, I seem to not be able to survive in the air.

They should've just restricted it to teammates.

if they remove the ledge boost from her shift I'm done

you don't, blizzard's shit put in a hard counter system

Reminder it's not bannable to onetrick meta characters, but if you as much pick a non-meta one, you get the dong.

gib titty hero

"just shoot" is not a counter let alone a hard counter

I want Reinhardt to pin me to a wall and tell me everything is going to be alright because I have nobody close to me that can

explain your main with a sport

Shot Put

Reinhardt killed him before he could finish the post.

>one trick torb
>banned for """"""refusing to cooperate with team

>one trick tracers and genjis
>perfectly fine

What the fuck? Why "refusing to cooperate" is even an argument? I payed $ for this game, I pick whatever the fuck I want, if some salty mongol on my team wants me to switch to mercy thats his fucking problem, he should do it himself. I am honestly mad mostly because cucked blizz fanboys will do fuck nothing and Caplan will continue doing stupid shit and banning people for no reason.

Reminder of what needs to be done to omniggers such as Orisa

Was there actually a video with jeff talking about torb throwers?

Honestly what Blizzard is doing is good, one step closer to banning people for attack Sombra and such

rip in pieces user
rein's charge is easily avoidable but you couldn't

The only reason he was banned for 1-tricking and refusing to switch is bad publicity - at his rank, he plays with a lot of streamers who hate him and his Torb schtick. Streamers complaining = bad press, this is and will always be about revenue before anything else.

youtube.com/watch?v=rnfzzz8pIBE

Where's my fat tiddy hero so I can get banned for one tricking her?

What has Rein been doing recently to get so many scars?

paper cuts from inconsistent writing

if you want to get good with a hero you should be playing in quick play

he's into hard femdom

One trick ponies trick the matchmaking and ruin this game. One tricking should be bannable, ranked is only about winning. If you only want to play one hero you can go play it in quickplay and arcade, or find a team of 6 who is fine with it.

With ban I mean rank ban, not account ban.

>one step closer to banning people for attack Sombra and such
until you realise Blizz thinks she is an offensive DPS instead of the defensive DPS/secondary support she actually is. Same way they think they were buffing Bastion post rework and nerfing Mercy post rework

Thank you very much. Have this torb pic

Brother, how low can you go so far? I've finally broke

>One tricking can get you banned
I'd rather be banned than be a flexcuck who actually """switches""" for a bunch of random strangers who yell on mics.

>One trick ponies trick the matchmaking and ruin this game. One tricking should be bannable, ranked is only about winning.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you clinically retarded? ANYONE SHOULD BE FREE TO PLAY WHATEVER FUCKING HERO HE WANTS. If some autist has 2k hours on genji/tjorb/widow/tracer/etc because he wants to play him and only him, thats his fucking choice, nobody is allowed to force him to switch.

What the fuck is happening to Veeky Forums?

>mercy is getting nerfed and ana going to get buffed, ana is probably going to be played more often

don't do it blizz

>What the fuck is happening to Veeky Forums?
It's blizzdrones and/or refuge leaguefags.
Blizzard wanted to cater to mobashitters and they succeeded.

whoevers in charge of the ptr currently cant even fix her actual bugs like her ult not healing a dva mech after she uses bomb, her m2 locking onto weird things, her orb bugging into the world when it gets reflected or matrixed, etc etc
i doubt theyre even capable of doing that if they wanted to

>What the fuck is happening to Veeky Forums?
You sound like a fucking reddit retard.

good riddance

>ANYONE SHOULD BE FREE TO PLAY WHATEVER FUCKING HERO HE WANTS
Yeah, in quick play. Competitive is a game mode about winning. It's about teamwork. If you ruin your teammates matches every game then you deserve to be banned.

Post more sadistic shit please

>one-trick ponies are getting btfo
hahahaa some things never change

no one cares what you play in your meme arcade matches, you can calm down redditor

>have a relatively poor performance on mccree
>still receive a card at the end for dealing 29% of all team damage
>when i also had a tracer and hanzo in my team
i can't fucking take this shit anymore

diamond is such fucking hell full of people that are probably playing their first FPS game or something

in CSGO i constantly drop 30 bombs in GE and in QC i have over 30% winrate in dm (pretty good considering it's 8 players) but in this game i can't climb out of this shit rank. the weirdest thing is i used to be GM 2 seasons ago but now i just can't make it out of diamond

>people are into this
what the fuck

>You shoudn't be able to play the hero you spent £40 and a good chunk of your free time to play
Literal pleb. It's not my fault if Blizz can't make a matchmking system which doesn't put mains of the same hero together

>you shouldn't be able to intentionally throw matches in a game you spent £40 to play
how retarded you sound right now

>anonymity
>people wouldn't do evil stuff if they were playing OW in the same room
I dunno, I might bash the head of a widow main with something into a pulp. At least if it is no Veeky Forums fag.

Okay, real talk?
I do not like one tricks because for me, and I assume many others, they are not in the competitive spirit of the game. Overwatch is a team sport, where you have to work together to enjoy the game. Ideally, all 6 players would be equally competent across a broad range of heroes. This would mean that you could get exciting match ups with fluid hero changes, counter picks, and great plays.
What one tricks do, is they force the comp around them. Players like Fuey tend to have positive win rates. In fact, nearly every high ranking one trick I have seen ever has had a positive win rate with their hero. The reason why, is that the majority of the time their hero is actually a reasonable pick. Defense 2CP, Hybrid, Payload all work exceptionally well for Torbjorn (and sym etc). As OP pointed out, they gain a disproportionately high amount of SR due to the lack of play that hero sees at higher SR due to its situation nature. As such they climb fast.
Where one tricking becomes an issue are: 1. When they are hard countered - normally problematic for Pharah's with double hitscan d'va zen etc. 2. When the map causes them to be hard countered eg. Fuey on KoTH or 2CP attack or 3. When there are two of the same one trick causing one to play a garbage something else (a big problem with most mercy one tricks).
One tricks I don't have as big of a problem with are ones like Wraxu. Why? Because his one trick is a monster on most maps, and if he is not doing work he switches. He can pull out a high tier roadhog, and other heroes to make it work. One tricks should learn from this.

thats strange considering players got much worse at lower ranks

>Playing offmeta hero
>When Soldier and Tracer are both easier, more reliable, have better ults and more getaway cards (with Tracer literally having 2 uncounterable movement abilities)

youre not gonna be playing zen when the patch goes live

Who said anything about throwing? The guy that got banned had a 57% win rate.

>Competitive is a game mode about winning.
>SIX RANDOM PEOPLE
>WHO NEVER MET
>TEAMWORK

Stop being delusional, if you want teamwork find 5 friends and play together with them. OH WAIT, LET ME GUESS, It's impossible to find 5 people in the world who can tolerate your pretentiousness

and he was a top 500, miles better than any diamond shitter here can say

>mccree
>offmeta
>when he's the most played Offense hero in GM

Whatever you say buddy

Why not? It is fun to see people suffer. Explain most games: They are centred around the frustration of the losing team. Every spectator sport is joy about the misfortune of others. Why should it be different in porn? I'm not even a psycho or sadist.

Is reinhardt a bad pick? I feel like my shield melts too fast. I also discovered that many heroes walk backwards faster than Reinhardt moves forward. So people back pedal my hammer all the time. Am I missing something?

Also, what's the point of firestrike and when to use it?

>Quotes something I didn't say
>Implying that you throw a match when you are literally at the same skill level as everyone else, if not higher because your hero gets hardcountered in more situation unless you are a Mercy main
Moron

Wrong wrong wrong.
A lot of Torbs got banned today by the report system. The streamer is just icing on the cake on how broken the system is.
Smaller filesize

*runs head first at you*
*spams projectiles that basically cover your entire field of view*
*spams double jumps which makes him impossible to hit*
*uses his skill that blocks virtually every attack in the game on an 8 second cooldown if you even think about trying to fight him back*
*uses his gigantic gap closer to get in melee range of you and chop you into sushi*
*all of this without even using his ult that deals 120 damage per swing for some fucking reason*

heh... should've known what to expect when you decided to go up against the highest skillcap hero in the game, kid...

Good things reports work in comp

mccree is the most picked dps currently, above tracer and junk

...

>I also discovered that many heroes walk backwards faster than Reinhardt moves forward
everyone outside of genji, lucio, and tracer have identical walkspeed

>The initiative broke the ban system so that anyone playing torb gets auto banned in competitive.
Amazing. Imagine how much this hurt Blizzard as now every major outlet is going to write about the bans and have people quitting the game

kind of
power creep hasnt been good to rein but he can still work if your teams willing to play VERY aggressively
but playing passive on high ground and shield poking isnt a thing that works with him anymore

Literally wrong. Plus the fact S76 and Tracer are infinitely easier to use at lower ranks

>What the fuck is happening to Veeky Forums?
You tell me, newfig. I was here when most boards didn't even exist

t. redditors

>*spams double jumps which makes him impossible to hit*
Literally the easiest target to track. Every gengu autist who mindlessly spams double jump will get destroyed at any rank above diamond.

...

Read the reddit thread. The majority are outraged.

Infinitely easier, but McCree's still the most played in Diamond. It really activates my almonds. This is from yesterday btw.

Keep sucking Jeff's kikecock harder.

That's not even the main Overwatch subreddit, retard.

Has damage really increased that much since the beginning of the game? Besides Soldier I can't remember that many direct damage buffs.

One-trick autists don't even have to worry. I guarantee Jeff will release a statement about how "overwatch is a game for everyone" and therefore they will not ban anyone who is a one-trick. Blizzard doesn't like controversy and has been known to revert things because of backlash.
