>"We need a tank"
>"We need a healer"
Why is it always offense players who don't want to switch who say things like that?
If you want something... Do it?
>>339148949
And the worst part, I feel like they're the kind of people who'll give you shit if you start switching "too much"
>play as tank
>right in the capture point
>holding off 3 defenders
>think teammates arrive soon
>see all of them standing by the side watchcing me die
just why ?
>>339148949
>Not wanting to play glorious Reinhardt Tank
It's like they should be purged.
>>339148949
>Too many snipers
>All of them want to be carried by Reinhardt's shield
>"We need a healer"
just how team dependent is overwatch? I haven't played it yet, can you carry your team and if so can you do it as any archetype?
>hold shield up while walking around a corner with a bastion camper
>think fellow soldier and reaper will take the hint
>both running through shield
>they die. shield breakes i die.
we need a healer
If I'm playing offense 99% of the time I'm gold or silver kills/damage/objective/etc and I know if I switch suddenly no enemies are going to die ever.
>wanna have fun with Genji
>lose capture point round 1
>"we need a healer!"
>switch to Mercy
>we win 2 rounds
>no commendation
you fuckers, never again
>>339149837
Almost everyone has lost over half the games because most people cant coordinate for shit.
>hey guys i'm obviously team leader, elected by you fine people never, so what i say goes i played the game in beta you know i'm kind of an expert so you better listen to what i say or i'll report you fucking idiot i said switch off wtf SWITCH OFF MEI FAGGOT SWITCH PLS SWITCH OFF GOD FUCK YOU REPORTED
shut up, gaylord. no one likes you.
>>339150207
So it does require coordination to make pushes on choke points and such, but on defense you can get away with less?
Just as I thought.
>>339148949
Kinda why i hate this game, the community is a bunch of normie crack heads who fell for the marketing and think this is the next call of duty. Im always forced to play support characters so we even have a slight chance at winning while evryone rlse pocks hanzo, soldier 76, and mcree.
Im hoping the game gets better when they all eventually get burnt out in a week
>>339148949
Pick > Call
If you're to slow you have to bite the bullet.
>>339150252
You're the cancer that causes losses.
does overwatch run on struggle PCs?
>>339150276
>but on defense you can get away with less?
You can get away with just above whatever the attacker's are throwing at you. If they're shit, you only have to be marginally better than shit to win usually.
>>339148949
>play support all the time (ammo/crowd control, engineer, medic)
>still get the most kills and the highest k/d ratio of all players
Y'all just need to git gud.
>>339148949
things have always been this way. even in tf2, you'll join a team that has 5 spies or 5 snipers, and theyll be the ones bitching about how we need a heavy or a medic
>>339150468
Yeah, I play it on an nvidea gtx 760 (yeah I know....)
>>339150276
>win one round with low effort
>next round voice chat starts
>"hey guys that was nice work. Genji you should flank more, try to walk with hanzo. if we...
>whole team left
>Join late
>No support
>Everyone else has picked except one guy
>Fucking know this asshole is just waiting for me to pick support so he doesn't have to
>End up going Lucio
>He picks Widowmaker immediately after
>>339150586
But this isnt a k/d game, its a team based objective game with a mediocre TDM, you are litteraly the cancer we are complaining about
>enemies are out in the open, firing at us
>hold up shield, expecting team to easily pick them off
>they run away to flank and get killed one at a time
It's come to point where I just go Zenyatta and have fun, rather than trying to save the train wreck of a match.
>>339148949
well, in an MMORPG's case you'd need to build a brand new character and spend X amount of time to get it to the level you're currently at (especially if you're doing lategame stuff). nobody's gonna say "we'll start the raid in 1 week" then have the party sit there waiting to do the raid just because they needed a tank/healer
Can't win a game all day. Just shit teams. Not what they pick but they're just fucking awful. Most games I wouldn't know I had a team at all if it wasn't for the kill log reminding me how they die all the fucking time.
>>339150760
You can't push points without killing people. Don't pretend it's not a k/d game, the difference is snipers never help and often people play short range characters and suicide into the enemy team over and over.
>>339148949
>pick a character I have only played 5 mins with
>"Woha, dude you suck with that character. Don't pick it again!"

>in deathcam, watch two of my teammates stand off the point as widowmakers while the overtime clock burns down
Why does it have to be this way every single time
>>339150760
I'm not talking about memewatch, you jabroni.
Also even in team based objective games a team needs a strong assault to strike through the enemy defense line.
How about you play an actually good team based objective gamelike Dirty Bomb.
>>339150927
zen needs at least 50% less damage and his discord orbs shouldn't auto aim
>>339150858
Ill give you retards suicide, but im implying its anoying when 2 players spawn, and they run twoards a controll point eith 6 people capturing. I spawn and theyre dead, and another retard is on his way to due alone
Didnt mean K/D didnt matter at all but in the long term if you're forced to play as mercy dose it?
>these queers that take this casual multiplayer shooter so seriously
Seek help.
I feel like if you solo queue, you shouldn't be matched on partied-up teams
Last match was so sickeningly one sided, and of course the enemy team is gloating about it, because it's a 6 man party of friends
>>339151029
Jabroni ? Hogan is that you brother?
>>339151032
Why, so he can be total shit instead of just being hard to use? He's fine the way he is right now
>>339148949
widowmaker on attack: "we need a healer"
>>339151108
Everyone thinks that except the people who make games because they know people playing together is good for the game. That's why they give bonus XP and shit as well as easy games.
>Last person, on a team with no support, picks Hanzo on attack
>>339151104
>liking losing and wasting time
>jerking off to zootopia porn
Seek help
>>339151219
>widowmaker ever being helpful
99.9999999% of widowmakers will end up with 3 seconds of objective time because they accidentally walked past it on their path to get more leet headshots.
>>339150757
What are you bitching at? Just the fact that he stayed around making sure you would have a healer makes him better than most.
>on attack obviously going no where
>none of our three snipers will switch
PUUUUUUUUBBBBS
>Be a tank because none of my friends want to.
>Pick Reinhardt because the other members of the team work well with his shield and counters a good number of their picks.
>Shield up and move towards the objective.
>Only character behind it is fucking Mercy who is healing me.
>Tell the rest of my team to get behind my shield.
>They don't and run around, leaving me and Mercy to twiddle our thumbs/die.
>This happens for 3 minutes until our Soldier decides to get behind it, while Mercy left.
>We lose the match while I'm telling everyone to group up behind my fucking shield instead of splitting up and getting picked off.
I haven't picked up the game since and I'm not sure I want to. It feels like I'm playing with fucking randoms, but at least randoms get behind my shield half the time.

>>339151241
are sniper-only players becoming the new cancerous meme?
This game would be better if the only badges that existed were for objective time, objective kills, damage blocked, and healing. Instead eliminations/damage are the first stats that everyone sees.
Even I'm guilty of this, I see that I'm not killing anyone as a tank and I'm like "well fuck, my team isn't killing anyone either, why the fuck am I playing boring reinhardt then?"
>>339151241
Hanzo is at least better than Widow on attack, actually can push with ult etc.
>>339151145
I'm not Hogan but I'm still your bro, r-right?
>>339151461
"New"? have you ever played fps before? Snipers are shit in pretty much every single game except counter-strike, and only because cs is old as fuck so people know to do objectives, plus snipers can actually make big plays in that game. Every other fps ever with a team, snipers are gonna be cancer.
>>339148949
>play 76 when on shitter teams because he can at least keep himself alive and do good damage if you can aim for shit
>solo points fairly often because enemies only come one at a time
>never get help because our requisite two widowmakers, hanzo, and genji are all off in different corners doing nothing
Sometimes I get lucky and the last slot is a Mercy who glues herself to my ass.
>>339151461
But I main riadhog and mercy...
>>339151461
I guess? Maybe? Sniper is just a really skill dependent niche and so many people who want to look like big dick cool guys and land all the game winning headshots are complete fucking shit garbage at aiming but are in constant denial about it so they never try anything else
>>339151571
widowmaker nerf when?
>>339151618
76 is a team carrying machine. When you've got a team of dumb fucks, the jack of all trades is god.
I switch between zenyatta and genji as needed. If they make a robot tank i might do that (reinhardt isnt a robot right)
Robot life
>>339151012
turn off shadows and shaders and shit and the game runs fine. i get 60 fps on worse specs than a 555
>>339149889
This shit drives me up the wall and beyond while playing Reinhardt.
>pushing in with my shield up
>sniper looking down on us
>expect people pushing with me to attack her
>they walk THROUGH THE SHIELD
>get instakilled by sniper
Holy fucking SHIT
IT MAKES ME MAD
>>339151441
Stop being a cuck and worrying about team comp worry about what you can do to win.
>they play with random people instead of at least three friends
you deserve everything you get
>>339151725
Sorry to break your robo bubble, but Genji is a cyborg, not a full fledged robutt.
>>339151725
There's a robot in the pipes that dual wields swords, he's probably gonna be support though.
>>339151730
This happens with me every round too, it's pretty much put me off playing reinhardt
It's not even been a week and people already start insulting each other in the chat. This game seriously attracts the worst communities of TF2. I've seen people memeing each other to death.
In a month this game will be as toxic as other ASSFAGGOTS
>>339151813
Yeah but hes zenyattas disciple so it works out. I just plain dont enjoy bastion but i need more robots

It's your typical blizzard userbase.
>join game, pick pharah
>another guy joins, also picks pharah

>i switch to reinhardt because fuck if i was going to do much work with pharah
>lucio gives me a <3 and we stomp the enemy team in short order, despite both tracers running ahead of my shield every 5 seconds
putting up your shield, throwing fire and hipchecking people is a lot more fun than i thought it would be
>>339151890
I've already insulted a few people. Mostly snipers who refuse to switch.
>playing soldier, team has reinhardt/lucio/junkrat
>other 2 faggots are of course widowshitters

>76 on off/def points

I could put Bastion in there for more scrub stomping, but I don't like his lack of versatility and slow healing.
>>339151890
I've been playing since beta and i've seen salty people only 3 times.
Because of a loss, the other time because of Bastion, the last time because of torbjorn.
People are still rather quiet.
>>339149889
>>339151730
fucking this shit. Walk in front of choke point, shield quickly melting to bastion, everyone is running around doing fuck knows what.
They sometimes get the fucking point when you E the bastion, but even then, it's rare.
>>339152060
Report anyone who uses offensive language for maximum salt.
>>339148949
>play as Mercy
>rest of the team goes offense when we are attacker
>tell them that atealst one of them could switch to a tank
>"why don't you switch yourself!"
Yeah sure, if you go support then you piece of fucking filth.
>>339152051
a reinhardt and lucio are a must for most payload maps, and winston and lucio a must for capture.
>>339152069
Lucky you, I get underage faggots raging in chat constantly as if they're the only asset to the team.
>OMG U FUCKING FAGGOTS SUCK AT THIS GAME KILL URSELF!
>plays widowmaker and ignores the objectives
>>339152061
I generally play raper in koth, soldier on offense, and mccree on defense. I'll go roadhog if we have no tank on defense or reinhardt if I absolutely have to cause the team is being cancer.
>>339148949
it's their way of saying "carry my shit, I need someone to make me immune to damage so I can almost kill someone sometimes"

LEL
>>339152027
It's unholy. People throw a fit when they are told to switch characters and persist on playing who they locked in as. I'm happy that rounds don't last as long as they do in ASSFAGGOTS but having uncooperative team mates really is a plague. Today I met a guy who got so mad he picked Mei and used her wall to split the own team whenever there was a fight. He continued his "trolling" for three games
>>339148949
I once was playing Widow, had 4 golds and someone told me to switch to something more useful.
People are retarded.
>>339152061
bastion is good for caapture points, that is his only use, he can wreck a reinhart shield to stop the push
like anyone actually stays behind reihart
>>339149889
When this happens I switch to an Offense or Defense.
Some teams aren't worth tanking for/supporting
>>339151890
>>339152027
>>339152060
The Overwatch community will turn toxic. There are no consequences for people so they will write what they want. And they'll play how they want. You can do nothing to prevent a destructive behavior.

>>339152693
you know you're retarded, right?
medals are based on your team.
So gold medal in dmg means you did the most dmg from your team.
>>339152693
That's records.
Medals are how well you did in that category compared to your team mates in that match.
So gold means you are first on elims, damage, healing, etc.
Don't trust me on it, go play a match as support and click a damaged ally once and watch as you get a gold for 50 healing.

1) Just pick what you want and let them complain

>>339153006
The worst part is that they all play him wrong, standing at long range shooting arrows behind a fucking corner doing literally nothing to help the team.
Now I know why in TF2 the characters spam the "get on the point/cart" line, because so many people are too braindead to realize that's what they need to do in that gametype.
>>339150252
>>339152936
Honestly - if someone is willing to take command, I'll follow it.
A team with mediocre direction given by #someguy is still better than the directionless shitfest you people make out of this game
>>339152693
That's not right. It's how you did on your team compared to your teammates. If a fucking sniper has more objective kills and damage than the rest of the team, what the fuck are THEY doing?
That said, generally snipers are worthless because they have the situation awareness of what's coming down their tunnel vision. They also think they're exempt from participating in OT pushes.
>>339152613
that doesn't change the fact that you could have had that same time on the objective but as an actually useful character and done way more for the team
>>339152618
i'm a console fag and actually the playerbase is pretty good on PS4, most people do not talk in the chat, I only talk to give pointers, then I have meet loads of people getting into 6 man groups with mic, because that is what you need, and we clean up.
I think it will probably last longer on console too other that the dedicated blizzard PC fags

Is there a spreadsheet with players from /v/? Would be nice to have. I'll make one if there isn't one.
>>339153078
honestly if I see my team picking terrible shit, I tend to take a tank or a healer, and I try to be friendly as fuck.
If I want them to switch, I suggest that they switch, trying to explain why.
Oddly enough it works quite often.
People are way more cooperative when you're trying to be an actually nice person.
Is this game worth £30?

Doesn't matter if you don't pick tank or healer because your team is probably going to throw themselves at enemy team like an uncoordinated mess 9 times out of 10.

Everytime
I just had a match as Lucio on Road 66 on defense. I was dancing on the cart and was surrounded by the whole enemy team which tried to hit me.
I was on there for like 1 1/2 minutes waiting for my team to arrive, but they never came
so what's the right thing to do in pubs:
>suck it up and play tank/heal support
or
>play what you actually want to play, knowing full well that you're going to lose, and hope your team learns from the loss (protip: they won't learn shit)
>>339152898

>>339151805
>>339153572
>social retards on v making friends
lol
>>339153710
nahh, it's a bad idea, everyone will start insta locking into shit because they're afraid to lose it, and it will make them feel like since they locked in first, they deserve that spot.
Also you're still going to have 2 sniper teams, so it's not going to help that much.
ALSO, that would make fun compositions impossible.

Because you're not tanking correctly.
For real though, that's what one of the randos told me. I swear, offense players are such cowards. They're pussyfooting the edges of the Capture Point area, not the point itself. And there I am, GLORIOUS REINHARDT, making advances toward the point with no one following my lead.

I did, but they were COWARDS!

Considering I'm pretty sure most people in my team literally don't speak english, having most of your players speak the same language should help...

Genji's a legit character but holy fuck, everyone who plays him can choke on a thousand dicks.
>>339148949
For the ridiculous amount of handicaps Pharah has, there's no fucking payoff. Aim at people's feet or around corners? You won't even fucking scratch the enemy. Your rocket, which is probably the slowest weapon in the game by the way, barely does any better on a direct hit either. Oh and you have movement ability that makes it 100x easier for enemies to completely rape you and a completely useless projectile that hardly even knocks enemies back. To top it off her survivability is second worst to Zenyatta, but at least fucking Zenyatta can compensate for his low health.
>>339154306
All I'm saying is that you can coordinate the team by being friendly instead of trying to tell them how you know better. That usually just pisses people off.

So being able to actually hit things and not repeatedly missing is something new players can easily do? I'm confused on what the joke is here. My point was that being able to be useful as a sniper requires that you be good at clicking on things accurately.
>on defence
>team is set, only need a tank
>"yo someone go tank please"
>they go d.va
WHY
>>339154662
Playing mercy is hell when your team is uncoordinated
>>339154552
surprise peoplefrom above
or just stay low. For some reason every Pharah thinks they're too good to stand behind a Reinhardt, then they run straight at the other team, fly up, get shot and bitch about it.
>>339154552
Everything you just said is because you are bad. Pharah in the hands of skilled players can be amazing.
I have geniunely never got a kill with winstons ult.
Why the fuck does he knock them miles away while in melee mode? Why does it do such shit damage? Why does it force first person so I constantly lose track of people?

>>339154719
Seriously, they should probably change the classifications somehow.
D'va can be a decent off tank, but she's not a fucking full on tank in any fucking way.
Similar to a zarya.
Also counting symetra as a support is also kinda retarded.
>>339153926
Lucio is the best at giving people the slip. better than tracer even since he can take a beating.
>>339154793
Unless this is satire, your the disruption as Winston, you knock people off the objective or knock away supports from the enemy team and shit
>>339150604
You joking? The 760 is an okay card. You should have no issue unless you have a shit cpu or shit ram.
>>339154626
Im pretty good with Pharah but in all seriousness there's zero reason to use her over Junkrat. I use Pharah because I like flying and rockets.
>>339154817
>>339154908
Symmetra is actually pretty great defense
Her alt fire goes through shields and once she gets close she can ambush even tanks dead in seconds
>>339155063
Sweden needs hero like Torbjorn
>>339154030
>zenyatta ult gives 100 health/s
>reaper ult does 200 damage/s
You do the math.
>>339149375

For a very good reason.
>playing as Reinhardt
>too strong defense, ask the genji who just throws shurikens from the front line to flank the snipers so we can move in
>he says "I'll do it now" and switches to tracer for some reason
>proceed to continue shooting from the front lines, occasionally trying to zoop in but get killed immediately

WHY is it always the shitters who whine the loudest?

I got legendary accommodation that game. It was bittersweet as fuck.
I don't fucking need your up votes I just need you to stick your penis in one of the exhaust pipes of the payload and push it.
>>339155327
Snipers always have a superiority complex
>>339154778
Then why is she never picked for competitive play?
>>339155282
>genji
>doing dumb shit and blaming his team
Genji attracts a specific kind of people.
>>339155540
>competitive play

>some just leave when we are just near the payload

But, those 10/10 of matches, with mercy, are satisfying as hell.
>>339155767
As someone who loves Genji I can not disagree. But a Genji who does his job properly is so so so helpful.
>>339155051
pharah can hit bastions and turrets downrange and then jumps up high to take out reapers and meis and other short rangers.
It's unfortunate that you guys seem to be having a bad time, since my experience with this game so far has been great.
>2 friends and i decide to go only soldier 76 for a few minutes just for fun
>rest of the team does the same
>proceed to stomp the enemy team in record time
>do the same next game, but with winston
>then again as roadhog
So much fun.
>>339154552
Nah pharah can be a great asset to the team if played right, her ult is really underpowered though and she could do with a tad more hp.
>>339148949
how do i turn down the fucking bloom in this game? s it just the effects setting, or is there a specific bloom i can turn off?
>>339156016
I was thinking maybe she should get a 100 hp shield when she activates her ult
>We need tank
>Roadhog or D.va walks in
>>339155832
Do you not watch the tournaments that have high-level, competitive play?
>>339156096
Literally just learn how to flank. She can fly goddammit. In good teams someone will distract the enemies so she can get in and rain death upon them
>>339155909
gotta agree, a good genji can make their entire team afraid to fire recklessly and watch their backs the whole time.
A good genji is even harder to find than most other characters, because you actually have to think a little. So most of them run in, press E, do nothing, and die in vain, then blame their team "WTF I WENT IN I'M CARRYING US"
>>339148949
The mindset of a shitter is that they need to pick DPS classes because they're great players, but acknowledge they need support from the team. But they believe that if they switch to a support class, their team will be at a disadvantage because their talents will be wasted on low damage roles.
It's basically a side-effect of the Dunning Krueger effect. They believe no support is better than them giving up DPS.

>pushing the payload by myself because the rest of the team is too busy running around chasing kills and deying

When will /v/ realize that these same toxic communities/players that they complain about so often, have learned their toxicity from boards like /v/? WE are responsible for this online culture of conflict and general asshat behavior. It's the pot complaining that the kettle is black.
>be the change you wish to see in the gaming community
>>339156164
Did you? Or are you just assuming they exist?
>>339156210
She can't move while using her ult though right? It's hard not to be noticed by the enemy team while using it, specially when using it midair.
>>339152842
Widowbaby spotted. Fuck off back to ASSFAGGOTS.
>>339156210
Even then, her ult is so week it takes ages to kill a single person. Even when you're behind a Rein's sheild and protected it still sucks.
>>339148949
that's why i play support hero's like mercy or tolberone cause some hero's are always necessary
>>339151461
I really wish a developer would have the balls to make a game without snipers.
99% of sniper players are basically a wasted slot and the other 1% are actually competent at sniping.

She can move BEFORE using it, a team too busy dealing with a wall of Lucio, dva, soldier and whatever usually won't notice a pharah sneaking up behind them in the air

What if your friends are all utterly terrible at videogames and refuse teamplay?
>>339156784
Technically yes since you wouldn't be one shot by a sniper on the other side of the map who had wall hack ult active. But then Mei would have like one counter in the entire game. And basically only Genji for bastions and none for turrets
>>339148949
I play D.Va mostly and between my Genji friend we normally carry the team. Shit sucks though because no one wants to be a fucking healer, and D.Va is no good as a tank without a steady stream of health.
>>339149375
I fucking do this as D.Va outside of the mech, I will never understand why those idiots can't just fucking die once for the greater good holding the objective down.
