Game becomes a lot better at Masters. Most rounds feel like they are played the way the game was meant to be played, not having to deal with dipshit plat DPS or people that have no idea how to manage ults/group/position etc is fucking fantastic
Sure you still get the occasional dipshits, but it's much more fun for the most part

Literally every other day he comes up with a pants-on-head retarded Rein change, it's hilarious
cant wait to get fucking assraped by damage boosted rockets i love overwatch
Does Orisa's alt fire go through shields?
Like, if I fire the orb at a Rein shield, will it go through the shield and grab people behind it?

I knew there was an exploit on Eichenwalde in the attacker's spawn where you could crash the server and force a map change but I've never seen it happen on another map. Or maybe what's happening there is something different and I'm just retarded.

I'm not at all. The more they delay it, the better. The fact that I wouldn't even be able to speed boost everyone from the spawn to the capture point makes me want to cry. I've been playing Orisa a lot, I know I will have to main someone else whenever the patch goes live.

the beams dont go through shields, but i believe the ball can travel through them though
so detonating it in front of a shield wont pull anyone, but you can wait a bit and itll just travel through it at which point you can pull anyone standing behind the shield
i doubt that this is intentional since im pretty sure it only works like this because they made the orb by recycling code for syms orbs or some shit but im like 80% sure thats how it works as of now

The graviton thing? Yes, it does. However, if the barrier blocks the space between the orb and the player the it should grab, it won't have any effect.
Also, it grabs turret config Bastions. How cool is that?

>AmeriCree is gonna come back in July when the summer games happen again
I don't think the Summer Games are coming back, anon. I'm pretty sure that was a one-off since the Olympics were going on that summer. At least, it wouldn't make any sense for them to bring them back imo.
But look on the bright side, maybe they'll do beach/casualwear skins this time. Or make the Summer Games skins available for purchase for a limited time.

>>172504176

and I'm pretty sure you're literally wrong because Kaplan addressed this exact fucking topic when the summer games ended and said no they're not going to rotate on a 4 year basis because that'd be fucking retarded

It is a summer event, not Olmypic, newfag

>tfw have everything except Bastion skin
best feel is cruising around as Genji and seeing a vulnerable target, descending from the sky as you're peppering them with shurikens, watching them panic and attempt to run away as you bring them down into critical health and then swift strike to finish them off.
any time i kill somebody with Genji it feel like a complete and utter outplay. I'm addicted.
>>172505496
>>172505496
best feel is sleep darting overconfident genjis who think they can just swoop in and kill me like I have no defence then telling my team where their dumb ass is laying down so they can come over and finish him off for me
>>172499878
>who's your favorite hero?
Right now? Orisa.
>who are you good with?
Symmetra.
>who do you want to learn
Orisa. I fucking try my best to do well with her, and I manage to do so in QP, but as soon as I go comp no one fucking tries. Playing comp as Orisa feels like my entire team has abandoned me. I don't play her aggressively, but I also never have my team to back me up. I wait for my team, try and move in, and then suddenly everyone splits off and decides to push from multiple directions, usually solo, and end up getting raped. So I'm usually standing alone and trying to retreat while 4 people gangrape me. When I play Symm I give zero shits about anyone and pretty much carry my teams because coordination is so piss poor that I can go off and do whatever the fuck and manage a good 3 picks before the enemy wises up and decides to focus.
>>172505751

this is the biggest problem with OW. good players realize that the good heros are tanks and healers. bad players think DPS is good. thus hordes of DPS shitters infesting everything
>>172505496Welcome to my reality.
I started playing a month ago. Realistically how long should an average person take to "get good" (grand master)?
just had a game where the other had team 2 master, 2 unranked, 1 gold and 1 diamond player. how exactly does match making work? it seems dumb for something like this to happen.
>>172506216
1 month
I'm just gonna play fucking DPS every game. I'm so sick of fucking useless widows and Hanzos.
>>172506216
see, now you i like. i give you one week.
>>172506309
I should have expected this one
>>172506363
One week for what?
>>172506216
Level 100
>>172506283
game makes relatively even games via team rating and throws them together with the highest priority given to queue time. which means you get games like yours because queue times.
>>172506283
Masters and Diamonds arent uncommon, gold got probably in there because of unrankeds.
Matchmaking is fucking weird when it cant get a full match with people doing placements or full match with people who did their placements already
>>172506216
an average person has a job and won't have enough time to balance gaming and job usually.
>>172506216
No video game experience: 4 years
No/little FPS experience:1 year
Plays vidya regularly: a month or two
Plays mostly fps: by the time you unlock ranked
>about to finally claw my way into the mmr I belong in
>the next game I get a widow "main" with 15% accuracy and a Roadhog with 35% hook accuracy
Can't make this shit up.
If you guys are so good, but complain about being paired with shitty teammates, then why don't you play with eachother? Surely that will decrease the amount of posts complaining about teammates.
>>172506816
Congratulations for making it to silver!
>>172506756
>not having a full time job and playing 7+ hours a day
It's almost like you play more than one videogame or something.
>>172506920
Fuck, you got me
Main Sym vs Torb?
what allows me to harvest the most salt?
>>172498445
So, last season I won 8/10 placement matches and it didn't seem to do much.
So I can assume that if I lose 8/10 placement matches due to retardation, that I won't end up in bronze or some shit?
>>172499878
>who's your favorite hero?
Lucio
>who are you good with?
Lucio, Ana, Rein, D.va, Zarya, Zenyatta
>who do you want to learn
Soldier, Tracer, Sombra, Genji
>>172507028
Sym because it's easier to win with her. Torb if you really want to annoy people because him working on attack is really hard
>practice with Sombra a bit and finally give her a whirl in quick play
>fun as fuck

So Roadhog is the answer to Sombra I'm assuming. Or was that just constant bad luck?
>>172507169
Roadhog is the answer to everything, except a Tracer or stuff like that
>>172506216
You need time to develop mechanical skill and then more time to develop gamesense.
You can say your mechanical skill is good when you can hit where you're trying to hit most of the time. and your gamesense is good when you understand everything that's happening around you.
I guess it takes about a week's worth of in-game playtime to reach a kind of relative "peak" before your skill starts to feel like they're stagnating.
>>172499878
>who's your favorite hero?
McCree
>who are you good with?
Roadhog
>who do you want to learn
Tracer
>>172507169
yeah, but thecounter to him is translocator the second you see him and also to always go high groundif high ground is unavailable always backshootin order to force the enemy to turn to kill you and allow your team to fill his ass with lead or let you fill his ass with lead.
>>172507169
codey says you're pretty much playing a bad tracer, all you do is build your ult. health pack denial is a waste of time. "hackin dat shield" is a waste of time. you only want to hit easy targets like zen, otherwise just build ult. that's all she's good for.
>>172507290
But Hog vs. Tracer is like, the fairest duel of them all. It's a pure test of skill between you and the Tracer where whoever predicts the other guy's move will win.
>>172507557
I'm trying to get better with the translocator. I'm surprised it's up for as long as it is honestly, too convenient.
>>172499878

He sure as hell doesn't listen to his own advice then. Because he often throws his translocator where the enemy healthpack is.
>>172507783
boop
>>172507169
WHAT!?!?
I main Roadhog and Reinhardt and good Sombras are the worst. If you can sneak behind enemy lines and hack Roadhog there isn't much he can do unless he gets a lucky M2 deletion.

>>172508451
hey mansometimes its just not my day
Can someone explain to me why the people in gold are so bad?
I mean, I'm just a plat player myself who got put here because Blizzard for whatever reason dropped me 600 SR even though I won the majority of my calibrations. I'm finding it far more difficult to climb out than I thought, however, as so many of these people are literally braindead.
How the fuck do I climb out of this mess? I just want teams that understand basic shit on how to play this game.

WHY ARE DAMAGE DEALERS IN PLAT SO FUCKING SHIT GOD DAMN

Don't worry, it won't get any better even if you climb. Same shit even in GM.

poor Jeff
what's with the large amount of genji smurfs lately?
level 10 and under, playing tryhard genji like they're fucking mlg or some shit
>yo genji wanna play hitscan?
>the fuck is that?
>tfw just got master
It was nice playing with people who actually communicate during the game.
What's with all the betas in this game? Pretty sure that's the only reason throwing is such a huge deal in this game. Betas can't deal with the pressure.
>>172509394
i got the game like 2 weeks ago
>>172510913
Makes sense. My advice is to not spend it. The next event probably isn't very far away
>>172510781
hitscan is only a meme used here. Way to show your power level austist
dont know how people complain about roadhog or bastion when soldier 76 gets

>>172511330
>tfw called the soldier meta 2 years ago back when everyone made fun of him for being "boring"
Is there any hero that outright crushes Pharah+Mercy? These teams I keep getting literally can't hitscan at all.
I can handle Pharah by herself no problem, of course, but add in Mercy and it becomes a game of hope my team doesn't crumble before I manage to bring one of them down.

>>172512163
I think he's concerned as to how s76 got burger on his face before taking a bite
>>172511838
Widowmaker can delete both from existence at any range in a short time if one can consistently headshot. Only problem is the player's aim.
>>172508974
>I actually got one
>Once
>>172512329
Better question: where did Gabe get that ketchup from?
>>172511590
He can do a little bit of everything. If he gets nerfed in any way, he's going to get dropped instantly because nobody wants a jack of all trades.
Right now he outperforms Reaper at close range, and McCree at mid-long range.
Someone asked the other day why I'm at 3500
I haven't played ranked since placements week, decayed from ~4300
I did play some headshot-only arcade games, that stuff is pretty fun.
Who else /waiting for quake champions beta/ here?

Here's a couple more 144hz webms
>>172512910
>>172512709
What if we give Soldier more of a focus at long range?
Cut down damage to 18 per shot, but make it take longer to reach max bloom.
>>172512358
That's applicable for every class in the game.

Communicate with team for amp it up speed for counter pushes to overwhelm the enemy or to rush a point. Regular speed for when no one is hurt or you need to escape.

"what your overwatch main says about you"
Alright, after playing some more Overwatch today after buying it yesterday, Roadhog seems to be my most preferred hero.
Winston is cool, but his kit is too eh for me. Lucio is too squirrely and quick-paced, while Zen is a bit tricky.
Zarya is pretty nice, too.
>>172510526
>I wonder why no one recognized me

The PharMercy combo is cancer and it needs to go.
No other combo in the game is so controlling of a match.
>>172515251
Wow what ashitter
>>172515251
agreed. pharah and mercy as a combo has complete battlefield dominance if they're even remotely competent and your team doesn't have a top class widow

Roadhog, Zarya and I suppose I am a decent D.va and Rein

Tracer, and it would be fun to learn to play an off meta hero like Torbjörn like a god
What fps do u play when u are bored of overwatch? CS GO is boring as fuck
The ranking system needs to be calibrated again, I think.
Way too much variation in skill at gold/low plat.
>>172516137
Would go back to BLR (Blacklight Retribution).
Other than that, nothing else.
>>172507169
All heroes that can one shot are the counter to Sombra. Hanzo in particular because of sonar arrow.
>>172507583

Are you actually retarded? Codey hacks shields and takes duels in literally every single match.
>>172516108

>Lijang tower
>both teams run conventional comps
>2-0 to us

Partly because it was unexpected, partly because I'm bad, and partly because the tank meta isn't as indestructable as we thought
>>172507783
>>172514463
I believe in yougold is better than platinum
>>172507783
Hacking
Bastion recon mode is ridiculously good, holy shit.
>>172507169
basically, build ult fast as possible. Seriously, don't try and hack enemy health kits, since enemies only go to a health kit out of desperation.
Hacking tanks can be difficult, they're at the front. Enemies will see those hack strings and start interrupting you. Hack someone in the back, like Ana or Pharah (if you really want to do anything useful).
Depending on how fast you're building ult, use it when there are a shitton of shields and the teamfights start. If the teamfights practically over but there's a Mercy waiting for that last person to die, I'll ult just to deny the rez.
>>172516490
This is honestly quite true. People say that silver and gold are the shitter ranks, but as soon as you break in to platinum, it's a whole nother world of tryhard. Everyone shouts about the meta, and then have no idea how to properly utilize a meta comp, everyone is a self entitled arse and think they can solo carry the entire team, and then everyone tilts at the drop of a hat and you can go 2-0 to 2-2 in a matter of seconds because a fight broke out during spawn about a hero pick.
>>172515251
Pick Zen and Soldier and melt them
They're working with a support, why aren't you
>>172515251
Everytime im against a pharmercy i pick widow, its just one headshot one kill, if you have the chance to take mercy first thats better because pharah alone is candy for widow... at least in open areas

Thats my overwatch experience half of the time i play ranked, i have to add i always pick widow and i dont care if im against genji, dva and winston simultaneously so thats why so many people get mad.
>>172517252
Be wary of playing junkrat you're just feeding Rez and nano if you don't close the kills out
how hard would you a mercy
Jeez, Kephrii is such an insufferable cunt. I can kind of understand why everyone used that 'Avoid Player' feature against him back when it was active.

Just pick soldier when a dps is needed, Roadhog/Zarya when a tank is needed and hanzo when a support is needed, seriously, dont play support unless its REALLY needed.
I have an account at 4080 and another at 3900, with lower one i just picked lucio for like 20 games in a row to see what happens, i dropped from 3.8k to 3.2k and then started picking soldier, road and zarya and i got my sr back.
>>172518139

>>172499878
Phara
Reinhardt
Widowmaker
>>172518821
I play comp all the time but I've only DCed once. My problem is that its mostly stable but a physical impossibility to bring it down below 170 at best.
Eventually matchmaking will be matching me up with people with equivalent SR but much better ping, since there can't be many people with such high pings around the world, and at obviously it would be some advantage.
Sounds like you need a new router, I remember that cheap old routers have a memory limitation which requires a restart to clear it.
>>172518671
If you are really good u can be gm playing pharah, junkrat, lucio, symetra and winston, i guess mercy can work too. But being realistic i think ur limit would be around 3500.
>>172499878
>Bastion
>Zenyatta

>>172518520
i get to decide? the pharah meta is much much worse. at least widowmaker dies.
playing against a good pharah makes me want to quit the game. i feel completely helpless, regardless of what hero i pick i just cant kill her.
>>172519486
If her and healslut couldn't indefinitely fly then the spam would at least be less obnoxious.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you really that bad with any character that you get completely shut down by Pharah? I've taken down Phamercy with Zenyatta, Hog, Mei, Genji and even fucking Torbjorn.
I've even taken her down with heroes that have less than stellar range like Junkrat and D.Va too.
Just because a hero has an advantage doesn't mean you can't overcome it. Hero matchups are a thing yes, but git gud. This is still an fps you mong.

>>172520476
You know how you get good at dealing with Pharahs?By actually being a Pharah player yourself so you know what they're gonna do
>>172520505
torbjorn is based though
>>172520396
It takes effort and skill to reliably counter a pharmacy. It takes no effort as the receiver or producer of the retard leash to reign down damage boosted splash rockets on everyone and hug the skybox.

>>172520505
fuck you mercy is fun
>>172520505
Trombone is a shit class with one reasonably good element about him (armor). He's too fragile to make use of his weapons and his turret is fucking garbage.
Mercy exists because of her Q. Nothing else.
>>172520629
go play tf2 then
>>172520568
Bad Pharahs are the easiest thing to deal with in the game though.
A bad hog surrounded by multiple tanks and Ana was way more cancerous than phamercy could ever hope to be.

Feels fucking great to be competent. You should be able to deal with Pharah with any character desu.
>>172520814
Garbage players who cry about specific heroes/strategies countering their favorite waifu who they're no good at using is the reason Overwatch is never going to be balanced.
Phamercy isn't op. Either git gud at your class or switch to something else.
Is Junkrat only bad because there are too many ways to deal with chip damage that benefit the enemy team?
>>172521067
>Chip damage
Oh sure, when Pharah does it she's overpowered but with Junkrat it's just an inconvenience and easily dealt with.
Seriously, just aim better. The guy has 200 DPS.

>>172521193
Shooting in straight lines from overhead is significantly easier than shooting in arcs on the ground.
>>172520568
You could say the same thing about literally 90% of the cast, how much effort and skill is put into killing Roadhog vs him hooking you
>>172521342
Hog has a very limited threat range, and Pharah rockets have no damage falloff.

Don't say mean things about ShitMarsupial.
>>172521067
hes bad because he has no dueling capacity
like every class can spam, thats not a junkrat feature, so that alone doesnt make him worth picking, and he cannot hit consistent shots beyond 6m or so while basically every other character can (except hanzo who is shit for the same reason)
itd be less of an issue if he had faster bombs or his mine jumps werent retardedly vertical because he could jump into range, but right now thats not an option because it launches straight up at a 75 degree angle regardless of where you are relative to the explosions origin

She probably misses them alot even though she never shows it. Why would you want to bully her like this?
>>172521780
They should write Dva to be an orphan too. That would give her some tragic edge. Without the support you normally get from relatives, she grew up to be a shut-in. And because she didn't have friends, her outlet was playing Starcraft. And playing it real good.
Later she gets drafted to fight omnic kaiju, and she gets even more cocky, because now her talents actually make a difference, in the real world. But even still she doesn't really have friends, and everything is managed by a handler for her.

It's plausible.
Also funny how Sombra loses her family, and turns to a life of hacking and vigilantism. D.Va loses her family and turns to MMO's and shitposting.
>>172522050
But they already have
>I could never beat my dad at Starcraft
in the game
>>172522050
>>172522245
Dva's dad got her into starcraft and she still can't beat him, she has a voiceline about it
>>172522050
It's too late though, D.va makes references to her father being better than her at Starcraft IIRC
>>172522295
>>172522303
>>172522306
Yeah, make it tragic she can't beat him 'cause he's dead
>>172522353
That's a twist way too good for Blizzard.
If they nerf Pharah because of whining goldies, I will derank to 2k and gank the shit out of them with Tracer until they deinstall.
>Pharah received no balance changes over the last season and now she's suddenly OP and meta
>Blizz will probably cave and nerf her to being complete dogshit at ranks where people can actually aim and have the slightest bit of coordination to say "discord pharah and call her position"
I might just quit when it happens
>>172522295
They already have... what? Made her an orphan? You feel like the voiceline is in the past tense?
>>172522303
>>172522306
I know about the voiceline, but isn't that just datamined, and not in the game? Besides, they've retconned stuff before. And I bet will do it in the future too. Chu is just so incompetent.
>>172522245
Yeah. My other Dva headcanon is that she's actually from a very wealthy family, so that's why she has the carefree brazenness about her. She hasn't really encountered anything to burst her own little bubble. Not until the kaiju at least.
>>172522353
This is such an anime bullshit. Not everybody has to be orphan
>>172522560
Like half the people in the world are orphaned after the Omnic crisis.

She would feel very bad after someone seeing her cry, and would most likely blackmail you to never tell anyone while panicking inside.

D.va is too young for that. Crisis was 25 years ago

And of course, nobody in their right mind would ever consider roll more useful to a team than healing orb
>>172524926
Flashbang is good for flankers and throwing it over Rein shield
Also I consider McCree a better PharahMercy counter than 76, the range is shorter but you need the burst damage McCree offers to get past Mercy's healing. Plus if Flashbang radius is so huge it's not uncommon you're able to stun Pharah out of the sky.
And you know, some people are just better at McCree than soldier. McCree can still kill faster assuming your aim is good.
I consider deadeye basically on the same level of barrage, in that it's pretty decent when you have the team coordination to back it up (getting multiple quad kills in a match because of Sombra EMPs+Zarya bubble is gotta be one of my best McCree experiences)

Why won't these autists just play league?

Because they're clearly meant to incentivize/reward people for playing Arcade, if you can farm them in a couple of minutes by making rigged custom games they become pointless. May as well just give every 3 free boxes a week instead
>>172528139

That's already what they are doing, basically. There's really no reason to make people jump thru hoops.
>>172528170
huh, it's almost like we're playing a multiplayer game where the contribution of one player doesn't matter that much.
>>172528363
That's exactly what Arcade is, 3 free loot boxes a week. Nobody plays it outside of QP and Comp. Might as well give us the option to skimp our wins and get back to the actual game.
>>172528421
It's insane how many players are religious to the meta and throw the game immediately if anything goes beyond their comfort zone. I main Junkrat, Torbjörn and Reaper and I can't recall a single game within the last month in season 4 where people didn't flame or question my picks.
i need some advice /owg/
when you really think about it, every loot box is pretty much free. you just gotta play a few games for it. blizzard should cut out the middle man and give us hundreds of lootboxes

In HotS you can complete most quests by playing, no need to win. (And it's a F2P title!) So why do you need to play (and win) predefined games in OW? Why is not playing enough? And why exclude custom games from the criteria?

>>172528646
I can sort of get Junk and Reaper. But Torbjorn definitely feels like the most underrated hero.
Even without his turret, he can already win duels against flankers as long as he has armor.
>>172529336
What were the odds of getting that drop in the loot box?
Orisa needs Fortify buffed to 70% resistance
She crumples like paper even with it up
>>172529650
she does not need her survivability frontloaded into a broken as fuck resist, shes not a support
she needs her hitbox fixed and like 50 more health at minimum
>>172529336
>Why is not playing enough?
it is, you get a loot box every time you level up. that's the main source of loot boxes. the arcade boxes were just introduced to encourage people to play the arcade mode
not sure why this is so complicated for you
>>172529650
Fortify is always gonna be pretty bad no matter what you do with it. So she can keep herself alive while still attacking.
With her terrible gun. Woohoo.
>>172529570
If I had the exact numbers, I could crunch it. But even without doing the proper math, it's clear that the droprates are somehow fixed. Otherwise it would be exceedingly rare to get several legendary dupes from events. (And yet that has happened to me, every time.)
I believe there's a bug in the system: they "guarantee" you a fixed amount of legendaries, but for some reason the RNG or seed doesn't change, so you get the same legendaries over and over again.
>>172529792
And why do people need this "encouragement"? And why aren't custom games part of the deal? Not sure why this is so complicate to you.
>>172528325
Are you retarded? It sounded like you DID handicap your team during the defense phase
>>172529976
because blizzard want people to play lots of arcade, not 10 minutes of custom games before logging off
>>172529650
All she needs is her projectile speed to increase
>>172530087
>because blizzard want people to play lots of arcade
Why? And even if that were true, why do such a bad job at it? Currently people bugger off as soon as they've gotten their boxes. (And all this still doen't explain why custom games are excluded.)
If you have no arguments, just admit it.
>>172530268
for money, you fucking idiot
>>172530268
Custom games are grouped with arcades only because of faulty UI. They should've been in their own tab
>>172530343
Getting people to "play lots of acade" gives them money? Huh? How?
>>172530379
That's true. They should overhaul the whole UI, and probably will, in the future.
>when the mercy on your team starts ragging on you for not capturing eichenwalde first point even though they never used rez for the entire match.
Mercy mains truly are the worst sacks of shit playing this game.
Should I just play Torb every match, attack or defense?

>>172523852

Ragga means "to hit on" in Swedish, thus ragging would be swenglish.
>>when the mercy on your team starts to hit on on you for not capturing eichenwalde first point even though they never used rez for the entire match

Because LE POTG MEME 4REZ
Every fucking time. They don't realize sometimes you HAVE to single rez while pushing, especially if there's no ults wave coming.
>>172530701
>who are you quoting?
Again, if you actually had arguments (or indeed, a brain) you would state why 1) arcade gives out boxes "for free", 2) why do those boxes need to be "won", and 3) why are custom games excluded?
But you obviously can't.

Just had an 8 win streak AMA
Anyone had any success with Orisa? Just played her for first time in comp with following scenario.
Defence, Volskaya, point A
Rein - Orisa
Hanzo - S76
Mercy - Zen
Got my team to hold high ground at back of the point.
Completely decimated other team, but I'm not sure how good it was because they were falling apart due to salt and toxicity anyway.
But our comp seemed to work really nicely. My barriers basically meant that Rein's barrier never went down. I could also fire a barrier to protect our Hanzo or S76 if they were on the high ground on the other side of the objective.
I could lay down covering fire everywhere by sitting at the back and just dispensing shields to people who needed it, and in clutch pushes whack down a supercharger. Only had to use fortify a few times because I wasn't taking much damage. I didn't die once.

You want to know what the real fucking worst part is. I just killed their Roadhog, their Mercy and their Symmetra twice, walked up to the teleporter and then me and the D.va behind me got ulted by the enemy Roadhog that just came out it and died.

>>172531209

>>172530927
>1) arcade gives out boxes "for free"
to keep bringing customers back to the game each week
>2) why do those boxes need to be "won"
to make them play for an extended period of time, or even so they have to play over a few days, and increase the chance that they'll find a reason to stick around after they've got the arcade boxes
>3) why are custom games excluded?
because you could easily set up a custom game that lets you get all 3 boxes in couple of minutes, which means people playing the game for a lot less time. and making loot boxes easier to obtain reduces the likelihood of somebody resorting to paying real money for them

Has a deployable big dick barrier to absorb damage while she can chip the turret away at her leisure. She's objectively better at it than any other tank because at least Dva and Rein have to walk up to the turret to viably kill it solo.
>>172531782

I hope they release more heroes that dick on Torb

What's the matter can't turn fast enough to shoot a turret before it kills you?
>>172531370
>to keep bringing customers back to the game each week
And why is this important? It's a premium title. Getting people to log in a play some matches each day is important for F2P and MMO titles, where player population is part of the business plan. However, once you buy Overwatch, that's it. You don't bring any more money to Blizzard just by playing. There's no reason to try to get you to play more.
>increase the chance that they'll find a reason to stick around after they've got the arcade boxes
Again, why would they need to do that? (Not to mention people already fuck off after they've gotten their boxes... If it actually was in Blizzard's interest to make people play more Arcade specifically, it would reward players with more XP, etc, not just three silly lootboxes a week.)
>making loot boxes easier to obtain
They are already easy to obtain - but for some reason you have to waste more time than necessary. Why? Like I said, even in (other Blizzard games) HotS and HS you don't need to WIN to get the rewards, thus there's reason to waste time and/or get frustrated with losing matches.
In general I find it curious to compare those said games. They are made by the same company, but by different teams, and for some reason the game design choices aren't unified.
For example, HotS is going to get a new version ("version 2.0") in the near future, which adds lootboxes from OW and dusting from HS, which is pretty silly, because all of those games have existed for quite some time now. Why are they only now getting more unified? And why are there still several things to iron out - like this "need to arbitrarily win in arcade to get three silly boxes" thing, which we are discussing about.
So yeah, you don't really have any arguments.
Orisa is the best, never had this much fun in Overwatch.
>>172532371
just wanna let you know I'm not reading this & you have no arguments
What would we have to do to make Torbjorn a meta staple?
Turret is made of armor?
Armor packs reduced to 35 scrap?Turret can be level 3 baseline?
>>172531148
The problem with Orisa is that she was supposed to be a new anchor tank but I don't think anyone would want to replace Rein with her due to her size and low HP.
She's cool but not what the devs said she was going to be. I wanted an alternative to Rein, not just a cool new tank. But maybe its just because she's new and no on sticks with her and her barriers like they do Rein.
She is super fun though. OR15 best skin.
>>172532361
I can deal with Torb just fine, but the changes to my team comp and style of play is something I find unfun, since the entire battle zone is locked down until you can kill the turret, otherwise you are stuck peeking corners or behind a shield
It completely restricts freedom and I just immediately switch off any flanker or hero who doesn't like sitting behind a rein shield or is able to tank the turret hits
>>172532787
Yes area denial is his entire point, just like how Symmetra is but on a more localised scale.

Woah you sure showed us how badly you got carried to GM last season.
>>172532847
Yep, I find that unfun to play against :^)
>>172532773
As long as Rein is the only tank with a barrier that moves with him, he will be the only anchor tank.
What do you guys recommend for climbing in comp within shit elo (in this case, between 2200 and 2400 which is where I’ve been stuck all month, currently at 2230. finished 2550 last season and 7-3 put me in 2264) with people that don't communicate or refuse to counter pick?
I genuinely want to win games by working as a team, but everyone here barely communicates or makes calls and the first person who isn’t doing well when asked to switch to another hero, they either say they don’t know how to play anything else or “aren’t good at it” or just flame.
My best heroes this season are pharah (20-11), Hog (14-9) and Ana (15-12). Should I just play simpler shit like Soldier, Rein or Mercy?
>>172532894
Quality not quantity my friend.
>>172532762
Let him be able to build bigger armor backs for more scrap. Like a 100 armor bonus at say 120 scrap. And maybe make him be able to make build level 2 turrets from the get go if he has enough scrap. Make it so people actually want to get scrap because it does useful things.
Also give him some way of being able to lock on to team mates when he throws them too so he doesn't just toss them behind them.
>>172532952
Pharah is a god when the enemy doesn't have good hitscan
There normally aren't any good hitscans with regularity until you hit mid-diamond + master
You're playing the right heroes, if you can't climb with those, then you need to practice hard and work on improving your positioning, aim etc.
>>172531450
Talk to me after you get a player that disconnects after the 15 minute mark 7 competitive matches in a row and drop 100 sr without even playing with a full team once.
I'm still gonna finish in plat but let me tell you something, I ain't queuing for comp again for what's left of the season.
>>172532762
Why would you want to make a low skill hero a meta staple?
Not all heroes are designed for top tier competitive usage, some are made to be more effective with low skill players. Torb, Mercy, and Junkrat are the main examples of this.
I feel like Mercy's value is overly tied to getting a 5 man res though.
She should be restricted to ressing the nearest 2 players max, but her ult should charge 2 times faster. Also she should be able to lock onto a player holding her staff in her left hand, while being able to shoot her pistol with her right hand at the same time.
Only then would I ever consider wanting her on my team instead of Ana.

>>172533623
Yes, obviously his turret and armor packs requires little skill
What does that leave him with? The most skill in playing Torb is being good with his gun
For most other heroes this is the starting point. They have movement abilities and other abilities that require skill to deploy
This is why Torb is universally acknowledged as having a low skill ceiling

How do we fix her kit? It feels so archaic when compared to new heroes like Sombra and Orisa, and it could do with an overhaul.
Her venom-mine doesn't have any utility aside from a free 75 damage every 15 seconds, and her grappling hook's cooldown is too long and it's too buggy for any high-play mobility aside from just getting into position.
And don't even get me started on her boring ult.

I'll tell you. Cause you're a special little retard.
Lootbox content is decided the moment you get it. Opening it later won't give you different drops.
>>172539921
Its because your hidden mmr is much higher than your sr. (System thinks thinks you should be higher than your current rank) Also the games after placement matches can give you a lot of points.

Where's the beard
It makes me mad that the only thing holding Torb from being legit viable on all maps and modes is his absolute meme tier gun.
I fucking love playing him but his gun is just too ...unreliable. The kills you get feel random, the shots you manage to land feel heavily dependant on luck.
I wish his M2 spread was greatly tightened up, or his M1 projectile speed increased greatly.
Also make his level 1 turret deploy literally instantly like a mini sentry from TF2, level 1 turret is a joke on his own anyway, let me use it as a distraction a bit longer.
It also doesn't help that his fucking beard is included in his critbox.
>>172539921
That's the way the system is designed. Blizzard has outright said the system starts you off lower and gives you bonus SR for your first 50 matches so you should have a positive experience during the start of a season as you climb to where you should be.

>Change sensitivity of lock on with grappling hook in gameplay options, its automatically set to retard level high sensitivity, which is why it seems "Buggy", change it and the hook always goes exactly where you want, it just wont hook onto a surface if its not an applicable surface

A "newer" feeling kit with more abilities / a passive does not equal a better kit, as proven by Sombra's existence.
Widow's job is to snipe and she does that fine. The only thing she needs is the ability to hang upside down / stick to a specific spot when grappling so her strength of sniping is increased.

Depends on your team really - if you're confident that they're immediately going to handle whatever you'd be pointing your gun at, just boost them instead - otherwise lay on those surprising amounts of damage
>>172544803
This. Orisa is just a mashup of other hero abilities, so while she is neat, she is familiar to us already.
The fact that the story is dead might also help that. Story from a game design perspective is put in to garner long term interest, because its easier to hook people on story than on upcoming game features.
They should really stagger the story updates so they happen whenever nothing game related is happening, a way to keep people interested inbetween updates.

Is the best way to use Orisa's shield on attack to launch it closer to the enemy to disrupt them, or closer to allies to protect them? I'm thinking the first.
Obviously if a Rein is the other tank.
>>172546253
Buy Odile for Widowmaker.

>practicing in qp
contrary to popular belief qp is not actually an optimal place to practice your favorite hero
>>172547416
Dont use orisa on attack

maybe april fools day?

Doesn't matter if I play tank, dps, or healer. Doesn't matter if it's payload or objective. If I die once on defense after doing amazing it's over
>>172517107
QP can put you against some absolute scrubs. The only way to measure if you are actually good at the hero is to play them in comp
>>172524926
Listen pal ill play mccree and enjoy myself because it makes people like you mad
>>172547672
The only trick they'd play is making you think we'll get an update that day
>>172547672
How much can you pull out of April Fools without breaking the game or making it too silly?
I mean what kind of brawl could you make that captures april fools?
>>172543956
That's just it, it takes TWO shots (and thats only against weaker dps heros). plenty of time to back up and get healed
>>172547672
What are your predictions for the April Fools patch notes?
Not much of a blue post
>>172544627

there, she's fixed
Any tips for playing the new hero?

I dunno but Blizz has had some pretty based April Fools jokes in the past. Probably won't be anything too crazy, but i'd be surprised if they ignored it entirely.
Maybe another variation of the junkrat "jester" skin? Emote maybe

Sounds well enough that they want feedback on the cards. Cards are just a bonus feature, so making them feel good for people is nice, but ultimately superfluous.
>>172548048
Hey Jeff, if I get 3 to 5 gold medals, could you make sure my cards says exactly that? And not something lame like "35% of team damage". Thanks!

What, between the first and second grenades? Or the first grenade and the follow up instant detonated mine?
>>172548040
Probably a stupid joke on how if you play Hanzo or Widow that you immediately lose.
>>172548645
But that's not a joke

I look over my own plays and fuckups to keep on improving as well as trying to familiarise myself with a wide variety of heroes so that I have more utility in games.
But come on. Are you telling me that a person that has played Mercy exclusively for 40+ hours and only has a 40% winrate on her is acceptable?
At least I try and change heroes if shit hits the fan, but what do you do if you are countered and refuse to switch off heroes?

Maybe they mean syringe shots?I thought it meant alcohol too and was very confused until I thought of it that way.
>>172552263
they injected Morrison with the super soldier stuff, right?

something about the phrasing and the situation make me think gabe got jack wayy too fucked up and they're in the hospital getting their stomachs pumped, shit happens
