Here comes T.Racer!

I LOVE Moira!

what are the top 3 least team-dependent heroes that i can carry out of low elo with?

Low elo? Soldier, Reaper and Roadhog. Unfortunately for flankers they need their team to distract the enemy and there will be a lot of times you won't be able to do shit if you play Tracer or Genji in braindead ranks.

Is it still worth playing ranked?

5th for fodder

Feck off with ye spambot

I'm pretty sure reading this will inflict brain damage...

So I'll stop before I end up as retarded as you.

If Junkrat is so powerful, how come he saw no play during the World Cup?

>mercy play of the game
>shes just sitting in a corner holding m1 and capping the point with her team
what a display of skill

Junkrat is powerful for spamming at chokepoints and getting dumb picks during prolonged fights

Organized games don't have prolonged fights, and all teams have strategies to get past chokepoints unmolested

I just watched xQc's stream and almost every game around 4k had him.

I said organized games, not 4K games

Even 4.3k games are not really organized, even if they usually have a guy calling plays half-assedly

>so what if we added free aimbot to the game if you click q
>lmao what a good idea

>absolutely destroy the enemy team, pushing them all the way back to their spawn
>OVERTIME
>suddenly get wiped out of nowhere
>lose
every fucking time

I feel that even in unorganized games team fights are shorter than ever and usually end in a team kill. Junkrat's ult is one of the best teamwipers

then don't push into spawn dumbass

Are there any radeon users here? Im sick of this Relive driver bug. Have you guys had any success working around it?
Blizzard's official "fix" is
>Use 17.7.1 driver (old)
>Remove all overclocks (fuck you, I have high refresh)
>Disable Radeon Relive (fuck you again, I want to record my games for watchback.)
Is there word on a fix? Are there better, more stable drivers at least? Im tired of disabling relive and my OC.

It's been a thorn in my ass for a while now, had to use the 17.1.1 driver because the other workarounds don't work for me. Haven't read when there will be a fix but in the release notes they at least acknowledge the problem, so it's gotta be fixed eventually. Hopefully before the year ends.

why does blizzard put BUG FIXES on PTR?
what is WRONG WITH THEM

Tac visor? Throw up barriers, throw a Dva in his face, use map geometry, or just shoot the bastard. S76 is fine and so is his ult.
Correct answer. Overextending is an easy way to lose a surefire game. Stay where it's defensible.
Roadhog if you're mediocre (doesn't work every map) or S76 / Tracer if you're actually good. Btw teamwork is a skill, and ignoring it holds back your SR.

my fix was return my windows to a previous backup state before updating the drivers and worked just fine, no uninstall-reinstall drivers or messing around with options that might just fuck things up more

That just means you rollbacked your drivers

I guess you didn't watch Jake poop all over the Koreans on Honamura when they tried Orisa comp.

Does anyone else have days where you just can't hit anything or play? Normally, I average around 50-60% accuracy on McCree, but there are others where I can barely hit winstons fat ass.

>the next hero won't be a junkrat healer
>uses a greande launcher to fire AoE healing stations as well as AoE speedboosts and slowdown for enemy team

we need at least one more healer and a tank before we get any dps tbqh honestly

Talon tank is next. You heard it here first.

yes and worked it, its like those bugged drivers never existed and now play happily like before all the problem existed

Sauce?

>Launch battlenet client
>Notice "Smoked sausage tots"
>"Special Reinhardt-inspired dish by BuzzFeed Tasty"
>It's just a video of someone making tater tots with the Eichenwalde music playing on a loop

What the fuck does this have to deal with Reinhardt? Is there some secret food related lore about Reinhardt and/or the crusaders that I don't know of? Or is this just some glorified paid advertisement clickbait?

>Another Talon

>lost 20 in a row yesterday
>think forced 50 will be kind to me
>The losing streak continues

That happens to a lot of people in every FPS. It usually has to do with an over-reliance on muscle memory, but the situation is actually unfamiliar. Or at least, that's my perception of it.
Does this thread have a discord btw? /wowg/ autism is getting to me.

yes

>Complaining about getting more Talon heroes when the vast majority of playable characters are Overwatch heroes

What, do you want there to be some magical third party of heroes that aren't Overwatch/Talon affiliates, or do you simply have something against Talon?

I use an older version (17.4.4) and have no trouble playing or recording.

>I have high refresh
What does this mean...?

I need a newer driver for other games though. And relive still causes crashes / blackscreens.

Junkrat, Roadhog, Zen, Lucio, Symmetra, Orisa, Bastion, Hanzo, Dva and Zarya all have nothing to do with either.

>magical third party
You mean most of the heroes that are unaffiliated with either of those?
I don't want more Talon characters. There's enough.

>aren't Overwatch/Talon affiliates
I guess you count Viskar being with Talon, but still, there's already the Junkers, and maybe some omnic faction can also be added, etc. Not everything revolves around Talon and Overwatch.

Junkrat, roadhog, Symmetra, Hanzo, Orisa, Zarya, and Zenyatta are all independent of Overwatch or Talon.

>someone votes for me
well shit, now I have to vote for myself or else it will look like I just voted for myself. Why must fucks vote for me when I'm shit.

>300 SR gone in 2 days
at this rate i'll be bronze in a few weeks

300sr ain't shit. Go play more games. And always strive for improvement.
144hz display. Maybe ill try 17.4.4
You care far too much. Don't sperg it.
Forced 50 isn't a thing. Git gooood son.

I WANT A REINHARDT SKIN THIS CHRISTMAS

I fucking hate europoors so much, if you can't speak english, don't use the voice chat.

>censored nipples
What, is this tranny Reinhardt?

What.

>leave quickly so no one thinks it was me who voted for myself and am just waiting for more

>lower ranks literally unplayable because everyone is smurfing

NO

Hey there user, can you hold my frog?

If this game were made by the nips all the girls would have lingerie skins and Genji would probably have at least one crossdressing skin by now.

sure thing senpai

Why is lucio obsessed with frogs

Why aren't you obsessed with frogs user?

NERF MOIRA
DELT IRISH

>nerf moira
Cut her range by 2 and increase her healing

Is it me or is moira really hard to headshot compared to other heroes

>Widow thong skin
>Tracer in boyshorts with ass out
>Genji sailor fuku

Please.

i wanna fuck lucio

hello doomfist

This. It's ridiculous to have a support hero, healer even, that at least in metal ranks more ofthen than not has gold elims and silver/gold damage and gold healing only because as she attacks people she gets healed while all her teammates get stomped

does moiras lifesteal heal her for more when she is damage boosted or the enemy is discorded?

If Genji gets a schoolgirl skin then his preeteen weeb fanbase would be upset and possibly not play him. Not a good idea.

>It's another "Premade refuses to join team chat and instead spends the whole match dicking around" episode

Team chat should be permanently enabled, and the only way to mute someone should be by reporting them. And if anybody abuses reports just to mute, they get banned. So there, everyone's forced to work with each other.

She gets healed a flat 33. All damage boost and discord does is lets her do extra damage.

You're right, give the scholgir uniform to tracer instead.

>weeb fanbase
>not going with sailor fuku because of shits and giggles
Don't kid yourself.

instalock chad vs the fill virgin

His younger edgy weeb fanbase might not like it because it makes him look silly. Which is stupid because it would have been the best Genji skin aside from Sentai.

A good thing I guess, on paper she seems ridiculous. Self heal in normal combat as good as a zen orb or lucio amp. A get the fuck away from me damage orb which can let her genuinely go toe to toe with DPS in a 1v1. Burst healing that outstrips even ana, regular sustatin healing better than mercy which can hit multiple targets at once. I thought her ult was clunky at first but it is better the more I use it. Plus her fade is absolutely amazing. She just has it all. Even a dva eating her orbs is a minor inconvenience.

I've seen a lot of character archetype suggestions, but everyone uses the fact that most of the cast is old-ish to forgo the fact that no one is really fucking old (or acts their age). I'd like to see an ancient frail old man even Ana would call sir, that can actually BTFO everyone else lore-wise.

What sort of skin specific voicelines should he get?

Will never happen because muh patriarchy.

*rides ur payload with a orisa/rein escort*

what's the best way to deal with this in a mid plat game where the team is not in voice? Even junkrat struggles to crack both barriers.

oops

Sombra, or a cheeky Bastion.

stfu you retard

Don't kid yourself. You're talking about how you wouldn't like it.

>major loss streak
>lose like 350 SR
>get quad high noon's and ~50 kills per game
maybe this isn't so bad

>Everytime I play pharah enemy team goes mccree and soldier to counter
>My team goes junkrat to counter pharah
JUST

That's why this fucker comes in and sends her orbs right back at her.

Yeah I don't want to see Genji in a short skirt I must be suuuuch a faggot right user?

When are real nigga hours in EU?

Nighttime

post more Troo Bloo

Slut more like

You’re powered up get in there and hold the point 1v6!

Troo Bloo is Poo.

At best Genji can force a zero sum. At worst she fades his combo (the only way he is ever going to kill her) and he gets assfucked by the rest of her team because hes out of position.

>tfw you accidentally nano boost a lucio

Did you edit an actual poop emoji pillow or is this bloo poo actually something I can buy? it's cute.

I want to ride on Winston's back.

If you're throwing teams then Moira's pretty much fucked because Genji made the opening and she blew her escape while the rest of his team fucks her team and if any orbs were thrown around either Genji's team is getting healed or Moira's team is getting extra damage thrown on them. In a 1v1 it's really a stalemate and really goes either way.

>SOLD OUT

T-Thanks.

I only did a google search for blue poo and saved that image. I didn't know it was sold out.
