First for tracer

>200052061
>salty
blow your brains out and let your family find your corpse so they can scream and cry and wonder where they went wrong, they'll blame themselves and feel guilty about your death for years and even though they'll clean the bloodstains and move your body every time they go into your room they'll just see what's left of your face staring back at them and break down

calm down Reaper

>implying Reaper would be that cringey

mei is bae

Which Linkin Park song are these lyrics from?

For some reason I'm only a good Tracer if I take a toke of T-stick

OW

>reddit finally realizes lore is a joke
slow as ever

Here comes T.Racer!

...

They'd have to be mentally challenged to be a lorefag in the first place but it's nice to see them finally realize it

You do realise how many tracer cosplayers there are out there right
Shes very fuckable in real life

>bread ingredients list has more items than pharah's personality

Only for now, they'll be back on the lore hype train when the next lgtbtqtrstuv hero is revealed or announced. They're like gay lemmings.

Why are you all gay?

>Get matched with a bunch of spics who are shouting in Spanish and complaining about every fucking thing

Last day of comp truly is great

I'm sure glad Hanzo is gay and will turn everyone who plays him gay.

>tfw you will never hear "Hey guys, jeff from the overwatch team, we have removed rez for being too broken."

yeah, the big thing that has made them realize finally blizz doesn't care about the lore is the speed. The moment that chu or jeff puts out a single new fact, they will be all over the lore again.

The OW girls are just too sexy. I can't resist. Except the fat pig Mei

Any predictions for the next season? Or will it be mercywatch season 3?

mercywatch till mid season 9, mark my words

>Season ends in 3 hrs
Who's gold gun are you getting this time?
Im getting Symmetra. I think it looks sexy as hell with the Dragon skin. Beside I already got my other 2 mains, Zen and McCree, in gold

>mfw 3 gold weapons in one season
:^)

If blizzard haven't said anything about mercy nerfs yet then I wouldn't really expect next season (if ever).
I feel like blizzard are just ignoring the problem in hopes that it will go away.

>Haha guys just adapt to playing 6v8 if your team doesn't have a mercy

>ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away
yeah, that's their mo. Then they'll acknowledge the issue, albeit not outright and will isntead introduce a counter to teh broken or problem meta heroes. This hero will do it's job too well but won't counter any of the heroes it's meant to. At that point it will either be nerfed into oblivion, or nerfed slightly , but not enough to matter, and will become a new meta pick.

>There is nothing wrong with genji
>He isnt too strong
>Just dont shoot at him ;)

If NOTHING ELSE, his deflect hitbox should be smaller so that it only protects him

Why does a skinny mobile burst damage offense hero have a "Protect my entire team 3m around me from hitscan AND projectiles" ability

>Meanwhile reaper attempts to channel shadowstep to take 4 seconds to get up a head high ledge
>Gets interrupted by the smallest amount of knockback and the ability is instantly stopped

>make a game about ults
>give the most mobile hero a 8 second cooldown 2 second uptime ability that can counter 50% of them
nice!

In a thread on the forums Jeff acknowledged that they dont think Genji is a balance problem, when asked by someone who the team DOES thing is an issue he replied

>"Mercy"

So they're aware
But that was October 31st. Its been 2 months since then. They've likely worked on something over November but pretty much nothing comes out in December because everyone at blizz goes home for the holidays

It's funny because they're so fucking predictable. The next gay character is gonna be some hetero looking uber masculine white or mostly white, man. One, because we already filled the gay female quota, and two, to smash the patriarchal image of a macho male.

So in that vein, we've got :
McCree
hanzo
76
Reaper
Junkrat
Roadhog
Reinhardt

Some of which are ethnic, but not too ethnic to not be candidates. Although I think Roadhog and Junkrat will be axed at the get go because fat is a negative characteristic, and being neutral/ somewhat evil is a no no, and you don't want your gay character portrayed as a bad guy.

The character doens't even factor in much because it's all about smashing some conjured image of the macho male, so it'll be up to the hack writer to determine what ideal needs smashing.

Jokes on you, i'm already gay.

Who has less of a clue, Jeff or Geoff?

*sweating intesifies*

What was season 5 meant to be?

Angers me so much

Shields, I can live with. Some go through.

Blizzard has a very strange attitude about nerfing, they're obviously careful of flat out nerfing heroes that will lose them a lot of players, so they have to do this stupid rework or "nerf one thing and buff 2 others".
They had no problem with straight up breaking doomfist and hog, but had to completely rework mercy and double buff dva to make up for the dm nerf. I wonder what the common factor is...

>They wont nerf mercy cause all the roasties would leave
better nerf mccree

>they don't think Genji, Tracer, Winston, Junkrat, etc are problems
>no info on who needs buffing
Figures. Can't wait to wait another year after this "balance patch" is lackluster and fails to do anything, while buffing more people who don't need it, for another one that fails to do the same things.
Glad they can just ignore one massive feedback thread after the other about Genji being too fucking good. Or handwave away Tracer being legitimately broken because "nobody plays at that level" while wondering why people are tuning out of the pro matches.

Why does symmetra get no love

I believe in you
Let us know how it goes?

>hook nose
>super strong jawline
>autistic

Blizzard won't touch your hero if they're two things
1. popular
2. a meta darling
So if your hero is a favorite of faggoty pro players in tournies they won't be touched, and if your hero is popular as fuck they'll also never be touched in any meaningful way.

I hope Jeff Krapland cops a coronary and dies so we can get a competent person to steer the game towards balance.

>"Concept of a giant mech wreaking havok and dealing a ton of damage as an offense or defense hero is a cool one, but D.Va just isnt built for that"

>Nerfs her tanking ability (Defense matrix)
>Adds more damage (Shoot while boosting, missiles)

For what purpose

>autistic
Fuck off with that bullshit
Also I meant as a hero not love

>Brainless w+m1 character gets no love
gee I wonder why

You people are far more obsessed with the characters being queers and dykes than the entirety of the SJW, tumblr, and reddit world combined.

It's not bullshit, she's supposed to eb autistic, they even confirm it in her comic when she says she's "on the spectrum". Chu is fucking retarded and doesn't actually know any autistic people, he just wants to feel good about being inclusive.

Reminder that Mei and Bastion have only ever been nerfed overall

>Bastion sentry mode is worse than before rework, as it tank mode, making him a shitty ghetto soldier 76 at best

>Mei had blizzard buffed so its not so fucking useless
>Promptly nerf it into the ground so the charge is huge so she's just as fucking useless
>Despite her hero's and ultimates overall weakness: Nerf her again by making disables/killing her after throwing the blizzard projectile delete the projectile in midair

Season 1 was lucio winston and tracer
After mercy gets nerfed, we'll be back to playing that same meta forever

nth for bloo lady of distant shots

This is why tracer and genji will remain untouched, at most they'll nerf Winston or zen or some other hero who enables dive playstyles.

>obsessed
>when blizzard used Tracer being gay as a marketing ploy to sell copies
lol okay.
>200050419
take a look at that, or anything Jeff Kaplan says about wanting overwatch to be inclusive. I'm fucking sick of it and I'm pointing out how shallow it all is because if you do that on the forums you get banned for hurting feefees. I also want to call it here so people can see just how fucking shallow it is.

>nerf zen
Why would they ever do this

Are drop rates affected by not buying loot boxes? I've counted and the last 6 I've opened haven't had anything higher than rare and I haven't bought any this event

god i can tell you're that autistic meifag that keeps spamming. your shit hero will never be good because playing against her is the most infuriating shit in this already infuriating game.

High winrate and enabler of dive, and not popular with roasties

>got 2 winter duplicates in 5 boxes
what the fuck man

>Why does a skinny mobile burst damage offense hero have a "Protect my entire team 3m around me from hitscan AND projectiles" ability
>not protecting your team as the silent avenger

Oh man, the Bastion nerfs lol
>gets a buff
>immediately after it goes live they nerf it live within a week
>instead of buffing him again to hit a sweet spot they just leave him
>meanwhile dev pets continue to be broken
>when DVA s3 was broken for nearly a fucking year before the fixed her
I fucking hat blizzard.

>when blizzard used Tracer being gay as a marketing ploy to sell copies

When did this happen and how high did sales skyrocket after the christmas comic came out?

>take a look at that, or anything Jeff Kaplan says about wanting overwatch to be inclusive.

And so far it still has more white people than anyone else, only one gay person, and three robots. Meanwhile you clowns keep concocting these soap opera-worthy worlds in your heads about Blizzard raping white women and genociding white men.

What other heroes do roasties play besides mercy and d.va?

And some go through the Japanese sword as well. If it were like in Heroes of the Storm where it pisses off Li-Mings to no end then sure.

>There is nothing wrong with genji
>He isnt too strong
>Just dont shoot at him ;)

>Jeff repeats what every decent player has been telling your stupid ass since the game came out
>You probably still think it's Genji and not that you're hopelessly retarded

Moira

when's the last time they event brought out a balance patch? I heard that some people consider the meta fairly balanced right now, but it all still feels like last season still to me, just a lite version of it.

geoff is retarded

>hitbox the size of orisa's shield
>just don't play the game for 2 seconds :)

>one guy has higher SR than anyone else on the team
>"im not playing tank, im 3.8k, i carry"
>picks tracer, focuses down hog first, dies instantly twice
>"b-but muh ult charge"

>deflect prevents you from moving or perform any other action because it blocks your keyboard

I'm not talking about them revealing characters gay, I am talking about how reddit praises any type of shit that they come up with for the lore, despite it all being shittily written and almost non-existant.

Case in point

shut the fuck up plat

>I'm lowest SR on our team so I play mercy
>highest rank on enemy team is mercy one trick
>stomp them
Mercy mains will defend this

lucio/moira

List all the differences between a 1500 hour mercy main and a 50 hour mercy main, I'll wait.

The worst part is that shit is even more OP than D.va DM and they went ahead to nerf it.

>DM
>eats projectile damage
That's it

>Deflect
>reflects dmg and ultimates
>give ult charge to genji
>protects him from melee damage

Bloo is a slut.

literally nothing wrong with focusing hog or any other tank as tracer, you turboshitter

Bigger dildo

...

>Dm protects a cone in front
>Deflect so unpredictable that it can sometimes deflect shots behind genji

Fuck, why does the competitive in this game give me s much cancer

Not even, she uses her sex appeal as a honey pot. End game is simple murder of important people or recruitment of the powerful and wealthy. In other words no one from here has to worry about Widowmaker.

>When did this happen and how high did sales skyrocket after the christmas comic came out?
did you miss the huge marketing push overwatch got from all media outlets after they revealed near the christmass season that their postergirl was gay? It very much was a marketing push, and it got it's name on every major gaming news outlet for several weeks around the holidays. That's a shitload of copies sold combined with holiday push sales. If you can't see how that'd positively impact sales you're probably not in marketing.
>And so far it still has more white people than anyone else, only one gay person, and three robots. Meanwhile you clowns keep concocting these soap opera-worthy worlds in your heads about Blizzard raping white women and genociding white men.
Robots to them are inserts for their diversity push, because they're oppressed minorities. You also have to count all the minorities collectively against the whites. Asians do not count as white by the way, because blizzard doesn't think like normal people.

minority group heroes include: Tracer, Bastion, D.VA, Reaper, Lucio, Hanzo, Genji, Ana, Pharah, Zenyatta, Mei, Zarya, Symettra, Sombra, Winston, Torbjorn. That's nearly half the roster, and it's not including the yet unrevealed minority hero (read; gay). Moira herself might also be some weird sexual deviant.

They're pushing an agenda, and if then "fuck whitey :)" nerf caption under McCree didn't tip you off, you're retarded.

>Genji pops deflect
>stop shooting him
>LOL! He used dash to cancel it! You take 50 damage and Genji is now behind you! :)
>meanwhile, Blizzard doesn't want Reaper to cancel wraith form because that'd be unfair as you wouldn't be able react to it
Bravo Blizzard

Even if Jeff were to die whoever would take over would still do what's best for profits

How do I get through this low-level bullshit???

>Blizzard while balancing mercy

how many nerfs and reworks will it take them to realize rez doesn't belong in the game

Why do people think these are so funny?

new hero is qt junker queen or i uninstall

> Genji pops deflect
> you don't shoot the deflect
>ally shoots in or around Genji's general direction
> you still die from deflect
or
>don't shoot at deflect
>Genji realizes this
>cancels out of his reflect with no warning, dealing 50 damage, then spinning around finishing you off with a rmb+ melee
>nuthin personel kidd
or
>Genji is on the ropes
>pops reflect
>double jumps and climbs a wall to saftey
No matter what you do he's got an out, or a way to kill you. Unles you're a Tracer, a Genji, or a Tank that can annoy him.

Season 5 was DIVE.

...

>enemy team running orisa, torb, sym on horizon defense
>in quickplay

>LOL! He used dash to cancel it! You take 50 damage and Genji is now behind you! :)
>He used dash to cancel it!
>cancel
Shoot him then you dumb fuck!

>all those budget dafrans on eu
im one of them

>manage to freeze a squishy with LMB as Mei
>someone kills them before I could get the headshot

JUST GIVE ME THIS ONE, YOU GREEDY FUCKS

I agree but at the same time a dashing genji is a pain in the ass to hit due to how broken hitboxes are in the game. If he's in front of you you can try to land a headshot and he dies mid dash but if you're on any other angle his hitbox can be anywhere during his dash animation.
