I don't get it
it's a porn meme
>>376645827
I'm in the same boat.
>friends tell me to buy Pubg
>friends tell me to buy Overwatch
>been going on since release of both games
>finally caved and bought them today
I don't even want these games, I just want them to stop bugging me to buy them. We're never gunna play together. I'm gunna get bored and go back to playing some other shit game that they also think is shit.
There's no escape.
>>376646278
if it's any consolation from my experience once you play together nobody seems to enjoy it anyway
>>376645827
no joke but my friends are exactly like what you said i want a refund so bad
>bought for honor to play with cousin
>has a group of friends he already plays with
>comfy custom matches over the weekend
Works on my machine.
>>376645827
Get less shitty childish friends anon, it's really that sinple.
>>376645827
At least you have friends

>>376646373
I'm convinced half the players only play it for the porn anyway. I mean, it's good, plenty of variations for many people; and I fap to it from time to time. I just don't think the gameplay is there and friends just play it cause their friends play it, and now I have to play it cause I bought it so I'm "obligated" to play it now or whatever. But I don't even want the games, I just want them to stop telling me to buy them so they'll get off my back.
>>376645827
>the maps being bad, matchmaking being bad, the game not being fun
At least they got this part correct
>>376646776
on the verge of losing a lot of friends because i dont play that fucking game. they dont wanna hang out due to playing overwatch all weekend, they barely talk about anything other than the game and how much they hate it either.
>>376646919
so why keep playing? and obsessively at that?
>enjoyed it for a month or two
>almost a year later and the fuckers still want to play it
>all they play is comp so i can't even dick about with characters i don't play often because MUH META FUN IS NOT IN THE META PLS SWITCH
we used to play loads of different multiplayer shit but now they don't want anything to do with other games.
>>376646807
i havent played a single second of a dead or alive game but ive still jacked it to footage of all the volleyball ones since like 03
>>376647043
Anon, normies are fucking retarded. It's league 2.0
I don't understand it either. It seems like everyone i know is incredibly frustrated by games like League and Overwatch but they go back every day. But what do i know, I suffer it with them just to feel some kind of social interaction for a short time.
>>376647982
I feel like it's just not worth it any more, we don't get to know each other better or even have any fun playing the game any moreSide note, what is it about mobas and blizzard games that replaces normie personalities with turbo autism?
This is why I will never "Get in voice chat."
It doesn't actually help your chances of succeeding to listen to someone bitch and moan in your ear the whole match.
There are buttons you can use to tell people to group up, what your ult status is, and if you need healing. What more do you need?
>>376645827
You think that's bad? Wait till you reach top 500 and have people get pissy with you because you won't carry them .
>>376648325
Overwatch is designed to be fun, but at the highest level of play extremely competitive and tailored for esports.
>>376645827
The game has shit that is made to kill players in one hit. Add this in a competitive environment and you got yourself a recipe for anger. Its fun at first but that shit does last when people start to get serious about it.
Just yesterday because I did crap one match, I got shit on by a group, next match I got matched up with them again and they turned everyone against me saying I suck balls and shouldn't be masters.
I said I was sorry
>>376648671
why would i do that when the game is just notfun?
like remember playing voip shit with friends?
playing stuff like left 4 dead and havingfun?
whereas overfags can download a completely different game and grind time in it just to unlock a skin in another game that they keep saying is shit
>>376649236
if its not fun, stop playing it, theres so many amazing video games out there (or other things to do in general if you are inclined)
>>376645827
You're playing with shitty people OP. Most people that play it think they're the best, but they actually suck. Most my friends are the same, but I've got one friend I actually enjoy playing with. We're both decent players, but moreover we have fun with video games. We play different arcade modes mostly, but even when we play quick play we try to work as a team.
>>376649865
It's absolutely insane how many people believe they should be higher ranked.
You know someone is a shitter when they blame their team rather than themselves.
I believe that's the difference between a decent player and a bad one.
>>376650349
Sometimes it's fair to blame the team thought. I main Mercy so I literally can't carry. Plus there's times where the team just doesn't listen and goes 5 DPS.
But you're right, a lot of the time it's not just the team. Shit I got put in Silver rank since I didn't bother with season 3, and played Mercy in my placements. I'm only irritated cause it's gonna take longer to get a gold weapon, which is the only reason I play competitive.
>>376645827
>Multiplayer fags
actually you're looking for overwatch fags
personally i find it fun but im probably the one people complain about and thats why imbronze
>>376645827
isn't that what all competitive things are like ?
>>376646807
don't give in OP, keep fighting the good fight.

feels so good
>>376645827
Get friends that aren't shit.
>>376648352
>What more do you need?
Well, if you're a support, it's nice to let everyone know that there's a Genji or Tracer on you so they can help.
>>376645827
the new fun these days is getting stressed out and yelling at video games
>>376645827
Like a mobile game, they've simply been hooked. They've been grabbed by the simple game loop, bright colors and constant pats on the back and come back for more every time. Do they spend money on the skins?
>>376651765
Nah, my friend loves Heroes of the Storm, and likes to play it competitively. He complains, yells, and whines constantly.He's bronze.
I shotcall, ping, communicate effectively, and am generally amicable in all games.I hover between Diamond 1/Low Master.
>>376651975
>Not dipping into TF2
I like Siege, but I like the movement of TF2 so much. Try it on a free weekend.
>>376652335
i played shitton of TF1 and loved it but they ruined it with TF2, have shit maps and a dead playerbase and no working AC.
>>376651975
The exact opposite happened to me. I kept trying to find a fun game to play with my friend, but every game he'd get bored of in a week or two. We went through Killing Floor 1/2, Borderlands 1/2, Dead Rising 2/OTR/3, Paragon, TF2, Rocket League, and more. But he won't play any of them, he pretty much exclusively plays Overwatch. And he's the most insufferable player. He'll get a lucky shot and laugh like the other play is terrible, unironically says "please be me" before every potg, and complains when it isn't him. Most people that play OW are fucking awful like this.
>tfw friend tells me straight up to fuck off and stop playing ranked with him in LoL because I suck
felt bad man
>>376645827
if you have friends that dont take things seriously its great, otherwise stay away
>>376652498
Some friend you are trash talking about your friend like that
>>376652168
yhea people need to learn betwen communication and complainingalso nice to see someone that like Heroes of the storm
>>376652828
>Heroes of the storm
that thing is still around?
>>376652828
i'm not a shill but hots is actually fun. I fucking hate mobas too
>>376651765
Not if you are mature person
Get better friends you fucking retard
>>376652646
I do it to his face because it annoys me. Makes no difference to him.
>>376645827
Two reasons, ow has a low skill ceiling and normalfags always think their good.
OW and mobas are the sors of games that breed this sort of 'im not the problem mentality' because of the heavy reliance on cooldowns. There are times where you'll have two griefers aka 4vs6 games where it doesnt matter how good you are. You could get headshots on mcree all day but the other team is full of shields and will focus you down because you are the only threat.
In other games like UT or even TF2 the margin of mediocre to great is large enough that the player can carry more of the weight from the team. In OW its so easy to counter anything that it takes a simple switch to get past it. Most characters gunplay are centered around essential abilities so that a character sitting their without them is a sitting duck.
Its why most people who play mobas will complain about their team more than gettin gud.
Because these games are fucking slot machines, you will have a lot of bad matches to make the good one stand out and keep you keeping pressing those unlock loot boxes bottoms.
>>376646367
This. I used to play OW with a group of friends and we stopped playing it within a couple of weeks. It's one of those things we did together because it was a group activity, but none of us seemed to actually enjoy it.
>>376652924
people have been playing it for overwatch skins
>>376652924
getting more popular because the events get people to stay and stick around I hope it fucking dies just like the switch
>>376652168
>tfw bronzi buddy in overwatch
>almost everyone is chill af except that one sperg that instalocks hanzo/genji in every team
>tfw having fun while the sperg spergs
lol you're a bronzi buddy with us man it's not like you're actually good or have anything better to do
>>376645827
I don't play team-based multiplayer, it brings out the worst in people. Especially in people like me.
Why do you fags blame the game, not your friends?
>>376655662
Bronze is surprisingly... I don't want to say comfy, but it's nice because at least everyone is the same level of shit, so there's no real expectations and pretty much everyone is just having a good time. Nobody really rags on anyone else or complains about hero choice, at least not for the most part.
>>376656079
Because Overwatch is the only game that genuinely pisses each of us off every time we play it, and I'm pretty sure it's like that for plenty of other people too.
>>376651975
Siege is shit
All other games you named is shit too, but siege is still shit
>>376658295
i was initially upset when i got placed there because i felt like i was being held back by idiot teams, but i grew to really enjoy it honestlyand grew to realise i wasn't as good as i thought anyway. it's fun like quickplay, except people actually try
>>376655662
DAISY, DAISY
>>376651975
The only game that's stuck with my friends is DotA2.
>>376652087
>genji is on me behind you guys
>guys genji
>die
This has happened to me a shit ton, and I'm GM. What really bothers me is that sometimes you shouldn't need VC to know there is an enemy on your backline. If you fucking hear genji and tracer noises behind you, and there isn't a genji or a tracer on your team, why the fuck aren't your turning around?
I join VC most of the time anyway, but I just immediately leave if the comms are useless and the team is just bitching nonstop. What's funny is that these idiots tell me to rejoin voice in the midst of their arguing.
>>376658295
>>376658720
I just can't grasp how anyone can be bronze in this game. This has to be the most casual game In existence,
There are heroes that skill cap after 1 hour and you can dominate for ever on them.
The game is casual at Grandmaster ranks in NA,
>>376659417
I started in silver and fell down there because I was solo queueing on a weekend (and was too stupid not to just stop playing once the losing streak kicked in). Couldn't climb out of the bronze sinkhole because I'm honestly not good enough to carry five people who all want to play attack snipers, so at this point I've just learned to live with it.
>>376659660
Just play champs that support attack snipers well?
>>376645827
Sounds like your collegues is basically /v/ except they actually play videogames
