Redemption when?

Here comes T.Racer!

Here comes T.Racer!

I’m shit at this game, who should I play for free elo

junkrat

Mercy.

Yes, they overnerfed him and gave him bugs while he was on PTR because he was very powerful and had some bugs too.

Right now he barely functions. His fist fan fly right through people not moving due to the broken hitbox and in general he's not very good. His potential killrate is just about the worst in the game for any character meant to kill people a lot. He needs fixes, he's got the lowest winrate atm because of this.

He needs some desperate help for his surviability, he just can't go in and get out like other flankers. Sure, he COULD go in if he relied ONLY on the punch and then used his other shit SOLELY to escape but he's not supposed to, those abilities are supposed to help him offensively as well...but if he spends them there is no guarantee to get a kill but now he's almost surely going to die now without any way to get out.

Seeing as we're talking ships:

Anahardt
R76
Gency
Bunnyribbt

Are pretty much the only ones slatted to hit canon at some point, right?

>being a white knight faggot and boosting some dumb roastie instead of forcing your mom to play Mercy and pocket you

Have fun raising another man's son.

We know R76 isn't happening due to the stuff at Blizzcon

Pharah's dad is not Rein, it's some Injun fuck, so Anahardt is the deadest of them all.
Lucio and D.Va have not even met yet.
R76 could just be a big tease, and probably is.
Gency has been pushed the hardest but seems to have cooled off.

No fair, I wanted autistfrog.

Basically those are the ones which have been "hinted" at. With Tracer and her girlfriend being already canon. Plus widowmaker and Gerard I suppose. I doubt they'll make widowmaker move on to another hero.

Don't forget Moira x Mercy, they have matching sprays so they must be gay for each other!

Seems legit.

>the thinks r76 actually has a chance of happening

HAHAHAHA FAGGOT ;_;

Lucio used to be a #1 pick. And was so for a very long time.

Lore-wise I really love Genji, he's so pure of heart.

Gerard will be back.

>I never stopped loving you, Gerard.
>I find that hard to believe, monster.
>I'm still your wife...
>My wife is dead.


>Overwatch is gone...we can be together.
>Die, monster, you don't belong in this world.

On killing her
>Why...why won't you love me?

Spawn together
>We were always good partners, Gerard.
>Amelie was my partner, creature. You're just a weapon, a thing, you'll never be more than that.

>Crime passionnel, amoureux?
>You're not worth my time, let alone my feelings.

How about you kill yourself for seriously trying to talk about ships

You fags are literally no better than tumblr with all this autism lmao

Fir brownfu of justice

You mean just saying they love each other? Being war buddies doesn't effect that. How would that be any different if Ana76 was canon?

>R76

Absolutely disgusting. Soldier wouldn't fuck a Mexican.

No, dummy. That wasn't at Blizzcon.
If you don't appreciate the character interactions I just find you sad.

Bringing a character back from the dead just for the drama is literally worse than what Blizzard does you sad fuck. Get better ideas snd I might respect them.

I would be okay with Reaper being a faggot, it wouldn't be that out of character, but him having any romantic feelings for Jack or Jack being a faggot too makes no fucking sense and anyone who disagrees is a stupid fag

>Just for the drama
>You don't want the guy that was in charge of taking down Talon back to take them down

You've no talent nor taste, fucko.

>Defying the boundaries of man and science? I've done that. Cyborg. Hack people. Been there.
>What you do is a crude parlor trick that wades into the mere shallows of mankind's inner depths.
>...you spend all day watching carto--
>Anime, I consume anime as fuel for insight and challenging the essence of all we take for granted within the scope of known science! There is a process!
>...yyeaah I don't know about all that sex--
>Hentai. That's hentai. That's different. That's...personal.

Because only a very small minority of the world population is homosexual. ~1-2%. Most do not default to dick in ass shenanigans when using the word love in regards to fellow man. From a realistic standpoint it's much more likely they were best bros.

From a "writer can so choose to do whatever the fuck he's going to do with these characters" point of view? It's all up in the air and they're leaning towards a no comment approach to things to spare everyone's precious ships. So in reality we'll probably never get an honest direct answer because everyone hates each other and wants things to turn out their way.

>Anahardt is the deadest of them all
You didn't hear the new Halloween brawl interactions did you?

“The Alchemist empowered her ally – Ah, if only she had a gallant, powerful knight fighting at her side! ‘A waste of her alchemy’, she thought privately…”

“The Alchemist secretly longed to unleash her achemical boost upon one of her most stalwart companions – the Crusader! But he was nowhere to be found…”

“Though few saw past her potions and elixirs, the Alchemist was known to be a great beauty…”

Rein doesn't need to be the baby daddy.

That sounds almost as bad of a reasoning as why Pharah and Mercy was supposedly hinted at. I know you're being sarcastic

Reinhardt having a thing for Ana doesn't mean it's mutual

Hey Veeky Forums I've been playing a ton of Mercy since beta and now that I'm almost at 150 hours on her which hero should I try and transition to? pls no bully

Surely he wouldn't want to kill widowmaker just unbrainwash her. Also widowmaker is already showing her brainwashing is kind of breaking down if Gerard returned would she even need to be unconditioned? Would she just break free on her own out of love.

>overnerfed him
wow what was he doing? where his knuckle dusters doing half of their HP bars or something?

>if he spends them there is no guarantee to get a kill but now he's almost surely going to die now without any way to get out.
I'll be damned if that was not exactly what I was thinking while playing him

little question about his ult
Is it the reason they keep him weak? instantly becoming invincible and then killing someone for free seem just bullshit imo.

I know it wasn't Blizzcon but I don't know what else you could be referring to.

1)Brainwashing can't be "unbrainwashed" all you could do is brainwash them again or give them help. At least that's how it is IRL, there MIGHT be a magic cure but they could just as easily say it's irreversible
2)>widowmaker is already showing her brainwashing is kind of breaking down
This was NEVER true and just something idiots spread around, they confirmed her brainwashing isn't breaking down when asked. She just has a personality and does stuff within those bounds that Talon gave to her.

Playing against a good Widow is the most frustrating shit ever. How I wish we had that "avoid player" button back.

>Because only a very small minority of the world population is homosexual. ~1-2%

This percentage changes from person to person every damn time it's brought up, to fit whatever agenda the person has. There should be a requirement to source whatever study/research you are basing your comment on when it comes to statements like these, whether its 1%, 2%, 2-5% or 10%.

His "nerf" was a bug fix with his oneshot being the size of three Reinhardts.

You don't need a source to know 10% of people aren't faggots

If R76 becomes "canon". It will be one sided. Gabe wants Jack's Indiana raised dick and can't say it. So he pisses around like a whiny teenager. No different from what he already does. And it's left this way. You never know if Gabe told him. You never know if Jack would say yes or no.

Everyone wins and you get the character interaction they are missing.

>start playing Junkrat because this place likes to bitch about him
>literally cannot stop winning
>POTG 5 games in a row from surprise Riptires
>even managed to nae nae Pharahs and Zaryas with surprise pocket Mines
This is the most fun I've had in this game since I discovered how to Lucio properly.

>wow what was he doing? where his knuckle dusters doing half of their HP bars or something?
Yes, actually. Knuckle Duster had Reaper DPS at more range than Reaper

The ult is pretty easily avoided by a lot of characters, just run from the circle.

But his fist fist hitbox used to be bigger than Roadhog so even if he missed you deliberately by trying to pass you to get someone behind you like a healer he'd still hit you and kill you

It could hit people on the other side of walls too. The E ability made him jump in the air too so he used that to get to places and do escapes he couldn't do normally.

It's not the knuckle shots that were the problem, it's that his Rocket Punch used to have a hitbox the size of a Dyson Sphere.

But that's really all you need for it to head down that route.

My autistic friend, if it makes you feel better use the 10% stat for all the fucks I give. It doesn't change my point. I'm a little curious what you think my grand (((((nefarious agenda))))) is though. Did you forget your meds, or do you honestly think I'm part of a grand heterosexual agenda to keep the fags down?

Because I don't have to do jackshit in that regard, you guys are self-regulating. Generally you lot have half the lifespan of your heterosexual compatriots. (^;

Ana already has a canon lover though, Reinhardt's love is more than likely always going to be unrequited

huh the more you know

what does he need to be good then? is it a team comp thing? a map specific thing? or just like more HP or shorter CD's, perhaps no self slow when charging fist? do i need to just git gud? because lord knows I am bad on anything other than junkrat or torb.

i just got called daddy by a 10 year old girl in comp
just what the fuck did i get myself into this time

>climbed to plat last season
>half way through placements this season
>most people have been gold
Please don't make me go back, I'll guy more lootboxes I swear

Genji

Friend request that shit dude

>trying to throw matches
>everytime i'm about to hit silver the game puts me in a winning streak that brings me back to high platinum

fuck
this
game

Tonight on "to catch a predator"

He needs a bigger hitbox on his punch. They went overboard with the nerf so now he can barely hit anything. I think he's meant to be an alternative to Genji or Tracer, so he can harass the backline and take out supports easily.

is

OP

needs

Sam doesn't really seem to be in the picture. But Reinhardt was always around. And that Halloween story was told to Ana while she was right there at the Halloween party. I wouldn't count it out.

with

FFA is really good at exposing which character is the most cancerous at any given moment. Sure, I love being instakilled by a spamming Junkrat even before he's on my screen, who doesn't!

a nerf

Mercy

>waah I'm bad

healing

you

>waah i am literally retarded and disabled and can't aim don't nerf my brainless character blozzord pls

This, I'll bet money this happens.
If Reyes didn't actually want the promotion that badly he was walking with a stick in his ass because he wanted Morrison's stick in his ass and either expected Jack to notice or didn't want to say anything for a number of reasons. Professionalism or the reasonable assumption that Jack is as straight as a board and wouldn't be into his gay leather clad fetish shit.

Imagine mirin dick for 20 years. No wonder he blew up.

has

>I think he's meant to be an alternative to Genji or Tracer, so he can harass the backline and take out supports easily.
He needs to blow his abilities to do the things Tracer and Genji can. He basically needs more babysitting in order to do things Genji and Tracer can, and this was before they fixed the hit box.

>all this talk about how Reaper is a pranching lala homo man
>little did they know, the actual fruit was S76

a

are you some kind of faggot expert?

>the white guys from America end up being so fruity they cure scurvy

diarrhea

pussy

>one sews his own clothes and plays dress up, and cries because his face isn't pretty anymore
>the other wears red, white, and blue, throws beer at you, and loves the smell of pulse munition, and thinks scars look good

hmmm

She's probably not really 10
Only one way to be sure

>it turns out Soldier is trying to hide his insecurities as a fag by trying to be gruff
>Reaper turns out to be just a metrosexual
Bullshit, but I believe it.

>discussion on which grandpa character is gay(er)

For what purpose?

>making an FPS game that has shitloads of mechanics that reduce or outright remove the impact of aim
what did blizzard mean by this

consoles

Get rid of the fucking medal system. Shitters who trickle in nonstop while holding M1 shouldn't have a gold medal to justify themselves with.

Porn

If tanks/shields/healing/mobility/ticklegun bother you then just play CSGO. I don't know why people will play this game 20 hours a week and complain about it in this manner when there exists an EVEN BIGGER AND MORE RESPECTED ESPORT that solves literally every gripe you have with Overwatch.

Because Jeff said they loved each other and they're war buddies, not they loved each other LIKE war buddies. And a bunch of other irrelevant shit.

Sounds gay to me. I mean, given that one like tight leather and strutting his ass around that is.

You sound amazingly triggered by a pretty neutral comment, that it's pretty obvious what your '' nefarious '' agenda is.

Can't imagine being this delusional just to cling on to the hope of characters being faggots

loves

The thing that's so annoying about "R76" and a lot of these gay characters we're obviously not intended originally to be gay (cough legend of Korra). I literally don't mind gay characters at all in fact I kind of like them. But god damn do not patronize me motherfucker.

i fucking swear doomfist has no hitbox during his ability animations, i gotta start recording some of these moments where it most definitely looks like my aim is on him when i shoot as mccree but the shot does not connect

>delusional
>he thinks Overwatch is afraid of making more gays

Just preparing you for the inevitable m8.

you

Maybe it's just the fucked up hit registration that's been broken for a while now

wait I fucked up that post.

whatever you all know what the fuck im getting at

What's chu pondering

There's going to be another gay, but R76 will never be canon you worthless queer

I want to carpet munch on Genji's metal pussy.
