Oh god stop fucking replying that literally all they do it for

When did this site become so infused with tumblr tier faggotry?

>Chu retconning d.va's lore for absolutely no reason at all
Why is this man in charge of it if he's so bad at his job?

>harass
Are you joking? This is a joke right? Haha! Talk about insecurity.

So why is it taking them so long to release new story shit? Is it because they're saving it all for something?
I doubt it takes that long to write it, certainly at the quality we're used to.

...

>STILL no big tiddy maid hero

>can duo comp all night with 150k alien
>too sick to play on stage
fucking frog faking it

m-mommy?

>haha guys tracer is gay now guess you can stop shipping her with genji and ruining my gency ship

Professional steering wheel player ama

Is it as rare as objective time card for genji

Honestly I think he just fucked up. Just look at the comments. It wouldn't be the first time.

>lore

Why would Genji, a character created to backline harass and flank be on objective more than the tanks and supports?

That's the point

So you're just stating the obvious?

It's true though, she's only ever referred to as a "professional gamer", not a starcraft pro.

>muh comics take 3+ months to make
>muh cinematics take 6+ months to make

This is the biggest road block.

>saving it up
Well, Uprising would be my bet. Probably the best one to make too.

>Tracer being made gay was to stop ruining his gency ship
Ay, making Pharah straight would have served better for that tinfoil.

>got it once cause we had 5 other DPS who were allergic to the payload

Not when her bio was written for heroes of the storm, although this was extremely early in development during the retcon hell.

I wouldn't really call it a fuck up cause he directly said that it was a misconception, meaning he's heard it and he's correcting people
That's why the lore things are so spaced out, they have no idea what the fuck they're actually doing
But Jeff tho

Speaking of cards, what's the rarest card in the game?

Right? How embarrassing!

But real talk, Genji76 and McReyes is top tier taste, R76 is bland and shit even if it is canon.

>not understanding the mind of an asian male with a fetish for white women
Chu probably has 1000 pages of self insert fanfiction featuring him as Genji.

What you quoted doesn't say at all that D.va became a MEKA pilot and then a StarCraft pro. She is a Starcraft pro either way.

I think the "StarCraft pro" came from when they put her up on the WCS.

>Genji76
do not touch my cyborg

>All they said was regretting giving him double jump, not that he was OP. They don't touch him because ironically he and Tracer are in a spot where making an adjustment could make them OP to all hell and back or trash.

Literally only because everyone's so used to them being overpowered. Tracer I can understand since they use her as an anchor and balance the game around her, but they reverted 50% of the only nerf Genji ever got without any validation, that's blatant favoritism.

I'm not touching any cyborgs (even though I liked to), Jack is! His strong sugar daddy hands all over Genji mmm.

Only self-inserting is the chink, the ape, or the tin foil mexican.

That's fine with me. Though Genji76 is eh. McReyes is better than that.

Want truly top tier McCree though? One-sided AnaCree is the shit.

Then why the fuck did she join MEKA? What basis was she drafted on? What difference does it make anyway why hasn't the story moved an inch for two fucking years??

>but they reverted 50% of the only nerf Genji ever got without any validation, that's blatant favoritism.
They didn't revert shit.

From the her original bio, they had her as one based on this article
cinemablend.com/games/Overwatch-Newest-Character-Professional-StarCraft-2-Player-96217.html

>But Jeff tho
He fucks up everything and then others have to wipe after his ass.

how good are mercy and zenyatta now? haven't played since the season with the coin flip thing

>tfw nova widow porn sfm already
Oh boy.

>McCree is into older wo/men
I can see it. He was basically circled by hot, fit older people during his youth, that was his social circle. Probably hard NOT to develop a fetish/preference.

Zen is the best support, mercy was nerfed a bit but still a must pick.

It's not saying she was drafted after she was a pro, truth be told. I can see where misconceptions can occur.

But that's not what the actual offical bio says. Yeah, Chu shouldn't have said misconception because it was Blizzard's original misconception but still.

>#1 ranked player in the world
Does OW world literally only have 1 game with online capability?

Also

>Hana Song was once a pro-gamer.[5] She became a professional StarCraft player, who participated in the WCS Korea Code S League. At the age of 16, Song became the #1 ranked player in the world and proceeded to go undefeated for the next three years in all competitions. She became an international star, beloved by her fans at home and abroad, and toured in exhibitions around the world

...

I'm just not understanding the point of retconning that honestly, it seems like such an insignificant thing to consciously change

Here comes T.Racer.

Well you've got Ana saying he was always a charmer so to me that means he probably flirted with her a lot. Who knows who else. I'd like to see where that one-sided crush lead to. Does he still have one even know he's an old drunkard and she's 60 years old? It would be cute.

Why? Because early development was a mess. Nothing was concrete then. There was no timeline, a 200+ page visual novel was canned, and we didn't even know when the omnic crisis started. Lore was spat out to sell the game and I guess that was one of the causalities. They developed the story more and changed it and we probably won't see why for a long while. Chu's mistake was claiming it was an audience misconception though. Stupid move.

Need to blow out headcanons because there's a better game. Heroes Mecha Storm Vs.

How do we fix Florida Mayhem?

Honestly, I think it's better that he said that. With how there's head canyons galore, he should set records straight.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I mean, he clarified it after a day of speculation, though it smells of backtracking to me

Regardless, saying she was a Starcraft pro before joining MEKA when she was revealed was on Blizzard. That wasn't our misconception, that was on Blizzard.

>

6 more players on the roster that are good would do it

for real though you'll notice that a lot of the "worst" teams have the smallest rosters. subs, specialists and flexibility is the name of the game in OWL, the fixed 6 man esports team doesn't cut it there

I'm positive he was crushing on her when he was a brat, but I can't really see him currently being interested in her that way. Admiration, loads of it, sure, playful flirting, yeah, but I think that ship has sailed so to speak. Kind of like an innocent crush on your teacher.

>the absolute STATE of the Dragons

The best part of florida games is the entry

Of course he has to backtrack. His tweet made it sound like it was the mistake of audience made headcanon when it was actually Blizzard.

CRINGE

Oh no, I don't think they are going anywhere in the lore. You mean mutual? Nah. Ana has Sam and then the heavy implication with Reinhardt, and then you have the age gap.
But the student crushing on the teacher type of relationship? Definitely.

Made it into diamond for the first time just now.
Climbed ~300SR since the Mercy nerf.

why is having fun cringe
I don't like this meme

>They're taking the SR from boosted mercy shits and giving it to people who deserve it
Excellent

congrats welcome to the worst and most cancerous rank in the game

Plat takes the spot for that title easily

SPEAK ENGLISH ON ENGLISH SERVERS

FUCK

>mercy can still heal and damage boost behind walls
>mercy can still fly around and be impossible to kill
>mercy can still rez people
Seems only metal ranks think she was significantly changed.

>hear russians
>lose
ahh yes

Mercy's Players Resurrected

Not only is Chu retconning shit, but he's also gaslighting his fanbase. What a monster.

depends on how you look at it.
>plat is filled with shit players that think they're way too good for plat.
>diamond is filled with decent players that dont really give a shit about climbing because they already have their glitter rank so you see the weirdest team comps

go eat burger amerika)))

This is awful bait.

stuped amerikant fuckpig ))))))))))))) xaxaxaxaaaaxaxaaaaaax

>low gravity
Why the FUCK is this still an arcade gamemode?

But she can't rez in the middle of a teamfight without some heavy tank support and the guardian angel nerf made her somewhat less impossible to kill.

The huge one (aside from the rez nerfs) was the time reduction. Valk lasted way too fucking long (still does if you ask me).

When people say she got overnerfed they clearly don't realize how fucking busted Valkyrie was.

...

kek

The worst part about plat is it's possible to get into low/mid plat and not know shit about the game or just simply not care. It's then common to get games with those players even into low diamond. I think that's what makes high plat and low diamond such a cancerous elo. If you are personally gold and below you are so bad it doesn't matter. If you are high diamond and above people will at least know how to play the game and try to win. Usually. But in the cancerous elo you might have agame where people communicate and work together trying to win and then get a game with 0 comms and quickplay strats.

She's less cancer but she's still cancer and has no real counter despite being so impactful. They made it so she's not as cancer in low ranks and like top GM+ maybe but between there she's still a plague.

>tfw no heavy ingame implications of anything gay anywhere.

It's like 2080+ and men STILL aren't openly flirting with each other. Goddammit.

Why they do that really ? It's umiliating.

buff zarya

How's mine after the nerfs?

In defense though, none of the characters are that openly sexual, except McCree. Really just McCree.

Not him but it's the same thing, nerfs didn't do shit to garbagerodent
