Its not that difficult but it needs teamplay most of the time. Difficult to hardcarry.

>They made sombra look good

Best skin

Thanks.

One day my sweet.

No rare skins?

user
It's the fucking stock of her rifle

>dragon symmetra and winter sombra shows they're willing to do complete overauls as skins

How long until furry skins?

>The only way to make sombra look good is to give her a 100% new model that shares no similarities to her normal model
yep makes sense

Wrong pic

Reposting

Set up translocator in areas that are defended well behind your team's lines
Use invis etc. to get deep into the opposing territory
Hack large health packs and frequently come back to hack them so the enemy team's healer is stressed more
Stealth then EMP followed by translocate
Hack enemies according to their potential impact on the skirmish

Hacking Reinhardt/Orisa/Winston blocks barriers
Hacking D.Va blocks a lot of her capacity
Hacking Mercy prevents Res and that can turn the tide of a skirmish quickly
Hacking Doomfist is just mean and makes him functionally worthless for 6 seconds
Hack Torb turrets if your team is getting fucked by one

I typically don't prioritize kills as Sombra. I'm there to disrupt mainly, and pick off people when I can (ie. low health).

YESSS BULLY HER

>>dragon symmetra and winter sombra shows they're willing to do complete overauls as skins
dragon symmetra is only like 60% overhaul, sombra is 100%

its a bluer chiana

how the fuck do you play dva and why do people say she's op?

who would have thunk getting rid of the stupid meme hair cut would be an improvement
oh everyone but blizzard

She is really powerful even with nerfed matrix,you can burst people down so quickly and punish people out of position that its ridiculous.

Watermarking an ingame screenshot?
lmao what

She is the ultimate dive buddy. Rocket burst and make people invulnerable. She can also knock people off highground and fuck with dive on the other team by rocketing them and dming their targets.

without watermark

they applied a shitty filter so they own owerwatch now silly

...

...

When are they going to buff Mei? It's getting ridiculous.

>seeing this bloated style OP after having a stripped down one for a while

Holy shit less really is more.

>effect playing osu
is he even a human being

Why is Blizzard so afraid of giving us double exp for a little while?

>Mei
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>mfw effect is playing on a level where i was 4 years ago

But hes improving rather quickly,im curious where he peaks.

b-but that would mean people would obtain many loot boxes...
without purchasing them

yeaa, sure

if you start playing osu, you've already forfeited every last bit of humanity

Why are people hating on the S76 skin?

Also why are all the new skins legendary?

Everyone disagrees with you. Except for the phoneposter.

Because:

Defensive Matrix blocks all projectiles with the exception of Mei's left click, and Zarya/Symmetra/Moira beams
Despite Defensive Matrix blocking use of left click, she can still use missiles so damage is still constant
Booster doesn't lock out left click and when combined with Booster's damage you can guarantee kills
Defensive Matrix can be used with Booster to cover yourself
Booster can be canceled with melee which can be used for quick kills
Booster of course being the main reason D.Va can drop her ult functionally anywhere
Missiles + left click is a lot of pressure and gains a lot of Ult
Missiles + left click can quickly down a lot of the roster

She's pretty good at blocking opposing team's dives and functionally makes teammates invulnerable to a lot of things
She's also pretty good as a dive buddy
Being on higher ground doesn't ensure safety from her
She's fucking easy as shit to play and rewards you highly even if you are a shit player

Who the fuck is "everyone"
what the fuck are you talking about

>game is from 2007
>newfriend thinks the game is fresh because he just saw it on stream

Ho, ho ho!

i know its not new, i think you suck at it, anime shitter

plebeians that cant behind the generic grunt aesthetic

laziness/jewishness

So is it official now that blizzard allows hanzo bullying?

>get excited when she's introduced
>show slowly starts taking a downward spiral in quality

superior sniper with superior skin
blizzard confirmed

Actually i mightve been wrong,4 years ago i was able to clear 10.33 maps which im sure effect is not capable of juset yet.

What you see seems amazing and fast you cant really process it,but its all muscle memory and basic reading. Like playing the piano. Oh and your favorite streamer effect,he might be an anime shitter aswell.

It's annoying because I'm 1000 from 3000 and I still want to buy Lucio dos Santas

I have neither luck nor money fuck blizzard, all I got so far was Frostbine Phara and she sucks

> a south korean likes anime

color me surprised

Won a deathmatch for the lootbox. Any reason to continue playing it?

>actual asian person
>a fucking weeb
see the difference?

the 3 other free boxes
then you dont have to play for another week

Time to hit the bed kiddo. Just to add to your pain what you see on stream pretty much requires more than 450ms response time,the average humans do is between 200-260 probably. So why does it look actually fast to you? The stream is 60fps

Even you could do it easily do it.So tell me if you still think effect is actually amazing at the game.

please stop replying to it

What medals should a DVA player be getting?

There’s literally no reason to play Doomfist over Junkrat or McCree and I hate that fact. He will always be one of the worst DPS heroes and it sucks

The bug fixes make him better but he's still not good

ON TOP OF THAT effect plays almost every maps with nofail mod which is pretty much self explanatory.

I enjoy this so much i cant stop replying.

Which off-tank would be easiest for a main tank to pick up?

At least yeti matches are pretty fast so I don't have to waste time in arcade cancer

He'll get tired eventually.

>Doomfist is inspired by fighting game characters and combos
>only his punch which is an ender has stun
>his combo starters(Rising Uppercut and Ground Slam) don’t stun to emulate hitstun in fighting games
>instead to target of a combo can freely use their mobility or CC skills to escape or just kill Doomfist during his combo(McCree is an especially egregious example)
Come one, Blizzard. Have some sense

I wanted a melee character but doom isn't a melee character he's a "shit all 4 effects in a 2-second stretch to try and combo one person"
hitting someone into a wall is nice, at the least

Just play Deathmatch. It’s frankly the easiest mode to get your free boxes from

>get diamond without effort previous seasons
>getting platinum is taking effort this season
what happened?

so... what happened

blizzard quality control happened

Do I come back, /owg/, or do I just let the game fuck off out of my life? I last played during the Return of Junkenstein event.

why post fanart when you can post the actual, official art

I always play dm but yeti is way faster desu

>tfw we have to wait about 2-3 events before new mercy legendary

i'd avoid the game outside of a select few arcade modes

which do you guys think is easier, winning as yeti or mei?

Seeing as how his skin is called Casual

if you're actually trying and not retarded it's near-impossible to lose as winston

hell you don't even need meat, just go around bubbling and zapping them

odds are always tipped towards yeti
you need a really good team of hunters to win, and with OW's playerbase it's nigh impossible

What's the best hero to do well in deathmatch with?

The pants aren't so bad. Tho I wish there wasn't that bald line on his head.

>dont want mercy brainlets to get a new skin
>do want a new batch of porn from a new skin

im conflicted, either way she has plenty of skins anyway so stop belly aching

...

New Tracer skin when.

Thanks Chu

>dat ponytail

I need this skin

Hello anons, can someone please explain to me how many buttons you need to press to put an Orisa shield on the ground?

All of them.

Wow, artists work fast

>The pants aren't so bad

it looks like he piss himself and he looks like a fucking cuck

half an e press

>everyone upset by the hair
>tfw just don't like the faggy bridge piercing

FUCKING THIS

Ice fairy?

user, thanks for that
