Overwatch?
I think I'm Over it.
Anyone else feel the same?
It's just Over and done with for me at this point.
Are developers even trying anymore?
Or are they all just Over-the-hill?
I'm Over this Overabundance of disconnects. I don't know what that fucking patch did to their servers but I can't even play a full match anymore
pretty much every single game it alternates between 50ms-90/100ms ping, like one game its a steady 50ms and the next game its a steady 90-100ms ping. shits weird i've never had it happen in any other game
Did someone say Overwatch? Haha :) Love that game. Love posting in hundreds of threads about it every day.
>>340481935
haha winky face ;)
Just another shitty overrated game by Blizzard with a premium price tag, nothing else, move on.
>>340481393
Not yet
Not just yet. Waiting for that mcree nerf. I've only put in 10 hours though. How people manage to put in more is beyond me.
I was enjoying it until tonight. Public games are absolutely terrible because you'll almost never get matched with a good team - and when you do the other team will leave which will kick you out into the lobby to look for a new game due to "lack of players".
Tried playing with my friends tonight and they were so fucking awful it hurt. I actually broke the stand on my keyboard I was so frustrated.
I think I'm taking a break from Overwatch.
No.
I can only play single player for a bit, after that I stop. Playing with friends , I could play all day.
The games fun, every match is different and its only going to get better after they add new maps, heroes,skins and more.
Im actually proud of blizzard, I haven't had this much fun with a blizzard product since wrath.
>>340481393
Haven't had a chance to play it yet, but it sure as hell looks leagues better than the steaming pile of garbage that tf2 has become.
>>340484102
I think you just need to calm down a little bit.
>>340484102
no matter how good or bad you are at overwatch (or any game really) no one will know how big or small your dick is.
calm down and start having fun again.
>>340484102
This.
My favorite hero is Mercy but I can't choose her without relying on retards to carry. It's really terrible.
Glad I didn't buy into the hype. I'm just happy blasting robots in EDF while my roommate flips shit on the mic about Genji, Windowmaker, Mei, or McCree the 8th time in a day.
He pretty much hates any character he does not play.
>>340483118
Sounds like you have a life.
>>340481393
Nope. Still having an Overwhelmingly good time. I'm totally Over these shitpost threads though, so I think I'll take my leave of /v/ for a while and head Over to reddit, where people actually talk about games.
I'm not quite done with it, but I can see the end in sight.
It was a mistake to not set up permanent community servers. I know they were never going let people run private servers, but unless I play with IRL friends, I'm never going to play with the same people twice.
So I'm already feeling the "what's the point" feeling. When I know I'm going to log in, move my XP bar a little, and win or lose based on the coinflip of how retarded my randomly selected team is.
That is, if it's not just another:
>Quick Play
>Searching for match
>Estimate :18 seconds
>Time Passed :1:39 seconds
>Match Found
>Joining Match
>Time left in match 40 seconds
>DEFEAT
>PotG
>Commendation
>EXP
>not enough players
>Searching for match
Hooray!
>>340485332
I was playing Mercy when it happened. My teammates kept jumping into groups of 5 of the enemy team and then complaining when I didn't follow them in to heal them.
They also kept leaving me out to dry whenever there was a tank or Genji nearby.
>>340485304
>>340485085
I'm usually not even an angry player. Really the first outburst I've had in years.
I'm still enjoying myself, although that could be because I'm trying new characters and didn't play fucking hours a day in the first two weeks.
It's your own damn fault for not having a life and binging. You gotta pace yourself between new maps/updates etc.
I can't understand why so many people can get mad over this, it doesn't fucking matter if you win or lose the match, there is not even a ranked system yet.
>tfw Junkrat main, blowing shit and getting PotG all day

I seriously hope none of you actually do this
Yeah, I've only played it for 10 or so hours, getting pretty tired. Getting 4 gold medals and having your team lose is beyond frustrating.
Happened 5 times today.
Me too. Now that I'm over the hill with Overwatch, #MyBodyIsBattleborn

>>340485783

Yeah, I'll be sure to tell my teammates of Genji, Genji, Widowmaker, Hanzo, McCree how to win the defend round by using a mic.

No amount of gud can fully carry an incompetent team in Overwatch. Especially not when you're playing a Support.
>>340486792

It was fun for a while; but that fun wore off pretty quickly.
>>340486690
>people who pick zen when there's no healer
Doesn't matter what Support, or character for that matter, a shitty player picks. Zenyatta is an efficient healer and can burn down even Roadhogs with relative ease with Orb of Discord.
>>340486373
Why would I bother? Half of them don't know how to aim or understand situational awareness. I'm seriously fucking hoping somebody will develop and distribute a competent bot soon.

Suck my dick, faggot. Zen is the weakest of the healers. He's good for marking targets to burst down but that's it.
>>340486351

>>340486953
Well, to be fair I was in a spontaneous "WE'RE ALL SOLDIERS NOW" round on dorado earlier. Our team went all 76's and while we encountered some resistance we managed to win pretty handily.
So while team comp is important, it's never more important than pushing the payload. But if I see more than one sniper and less than one healer I usually assume a loss is incoming.
Why is everyone I'm paired up with soooooooooooooooooo bad?
>>340487123
>why would I bother
If you're completely unwilling to communicate don't complain when your team loses.
>>340487280
Still better than that guy who picks Symmetra as a support.

I love Tracer so much I want to cum in her little booty hole! I want to stick my pee pee in her butthole and maker say OI LUV. I want to have sex with a character from Overwatch because I love her so much. Game of the year in my opinion! I have so much fun playing Overwatch and looking at all the cute cartoon girls. :) Nerf Mei and the cowboy am I right? Haha. Too OP!
>>340481393
No, but I'm over these bait and "buyers remorse" false flag threads.

>Zen is the weakest of the healers.
Only by a little. The real difference is that he can't come to you, you have to go to him. That and he's practically the 3rd sniper.
And pubbies will never go looking for a heal, they expect the heal to come floating over because they're doing such a good job at dying.
>>340486789
>Pick Tracer
>Blink behind them in their stupid fucking turret form and kill them before they even transform back

>>340486924
Good Symettras are fucking annoying. Same with Zenyatta.
>>340487280
30 hp per second isn't bad. And you can heal people from a distance without putting yourself in danger, unlike Mercy and Lucio.
>>340487502
loved it when she said that
>>340481393
Yea its getting boring, needs that ranking system
>>340487325
Holy shit, I was on an all 76 with one Zenyatta round earlier, on Dorado, and we won. Was this on PS4?
>>340487717
>heal people from a distance
unless the the other person isn't in your line of sight. seriously, if you want to heal and also not be widow bait, pick lucio or mercy.
I'm still having fun but yeah I'm feeling burned out. Maybe it's because I played so much in a short period of time but it's come to a point where I don't even get mad at Bastion anymore.
>>340487806

I don't like how Acti-Blizz just made a shooter that pats everyone on the back all game no matter what
If they don't have actual stats in ranked I'm probably gonna drop it
Ive just been playing with friends for fun. Ive got a group thats pretty bad but theyre still fun to play with and we dont go serious. Some of my friends that havent really played FPS since we lanned halo 1 back in the day are getting into it and weve been winning pretty hard. Just got off a 10 win streak. I think it all comes down to what kind of player you are, if you play this to be the very best youre gonna get mad. Theres way to much going on with hit detection and hero strengths to make it anything worth getting serious about.
what's this about people joining a game and being put 10 seconds from DEFEAT?
literally never been put into a game that's past the spawn room.
>>340486953

>>340488327
so which combo is more damage for roadhog, hook and shotgun or hook and melee?
>>340488093
Yeah I know what you mean.
It's not really all that complex. Sure, there's some specific shit you can pull off with Tracer, Zenyatta, Symettra and a handful of other characters, but it all boils down to the same old shit.
>>340488327
pretty impressive actually even if I give a shit about the medals that is to hard to ignore
>>340488093
final blows = true kills
you can still see ur true kd if that triggers you
damage = means ur good offense, if no medal kys
healing = good support, if no medal kys, try to beat ur previous records in
deaths = try to keep it low
if ur actually so retarded you can't get better with that info kys
>>340488327
wtf was going on with your team to have a roadhog get a gold in every category with shitty scores like that
>>340488569
Different anon but melee is only for finishing off if you didn't get a good meaty shot with your Scrap Gun. However an alt-fire might be preferable for finishing off depending on the situation and character.
>>340488569
hook ,shoot, melee, the melee attack is technically an animation cancel
>>340488070
Ah, alright then. WE'RE ALL SOLDIERS now is exactly what I was saying over and over again to myself, crying laughing, as we steamrolled them.

>2 genjis

the soldiers were bros, putting down their bio field around us whenever they could. We ended up winning very easily
>>340488093
But the fact that elims get counted whenever you deal damage and they die is literally a balance issue. Genji would be utter shit if he had to get the finishing blow to reset swift strike's cooldown.
In what situations are Tracer good to pick? I honestly love playing the character but I always feel like the current mode/situation is probably not ideal for her, even if it's fun.
The only time I 100% know I make good use of her is defending on volskaya point B. People cluster like crazy around the choke point (or the sides) and it's easy as fuck for me to zip above them unnoticed and harass like crazy from the back, either landing kills or peeling players away
I feel like having no friends to play with makes me enjoy any multiplayer game much longer than I would have otherwise.
It's sad when they all get together on the other team, though, because they're all laughing and feeling validated while I feel like an NPC
I've been off of /v/ since before release, how is it for a casual? I don't do ranked in these shits or anything, but I like to pick up stuff and play a match or two . I've heard that the matchmaking is pretty bad and you get dropped a lot, is that true? Looking for something similar to Rocket League in the way the matchmaking works.
>>340489026
Sounds like you know what you're doing with her. Just learn your maps and understand which ones are good for her.
Would fucking help if there was a god damned server browser or way to pick which map and/or game mode you want to play. Seriously, how the fuck is "Quick Play" the only option?
>>340488887
idk man they were fkn terrible
>>340489026
against tanks Imo u can actually melt them, and they will most likely be focused on some1 else besides you. also most tanks have to lineup shot, roadhog Zara, so u can speed demon and they won't get u
>>340488558
it might help if you actually played the game, and talked to people who actually played it
the game has exactly 2 game modes, capture point and escort payload. the maps are all designed exactly the same - spawn, open area(s), chokepoint(s), objective, chokepoints(s), open areas(s), spawn. combine these with glaring balance issues, low tick rate, and extra large hitboxes (extending way beyond the character models), and you get an extremely casual game that plays out the exact same way every single time.
the only people who like overwatch, like it because of waifushit and blizzshit marketing. no one likes overwatch because they think the "game" is fun.
>>340489110
people over exaggerate as always I rarely get dropped, and if ur looking for in and out fun it's good. make sure you keep your elo low enough so it's not too hard for you
I hope they add a moba mode. would be fun.
>>340489110
>I don't play to win
kill yourself get out REEEE
If I want to win, I have to play the non-fun classes. If the enemy team chooses the best heroes, you have to go full meta no-fun mode. If one of your teammates are a retard, you are nearly guaranteed to lose. The attackers have a much larger winrate for most maps because you only need to wipe the defenders about twice. Stack up all your ults, wipe the defenders once, and you get freetime to take the objective. The only counter to this is to hope that a Mercy survives and revives everyone. This game is advertised as heavily teamwork focused, yet it's also extremely casual and splits voice channels so no one knows what anyone is doing if they're not in the same party.
Originally I was happy playing Overwatch, but after reading OP, I've now decided I'm a /Battleborn Brother/.
>>340485773
The sheer number of people that don't get how versatile Junkrat can be is pretty hard to believe. The times I've held off 3 or more by myself. Would main again.
>>340481393
Seems like a lot of the negativity is people playing with bad players. I think you should just give it time and let the general player base improve as it's still pretty new. I've been winning most of my games whit some communication. usually the only time we lose is when there's that one level 80 dude who just goes off on his own all of the time.

maybe pick up a single player game next time bud? going against real people sounds way too hard for a casual gamer like yourself

Actually, I stopped playing because without a group the game may be frustrating at times.

>knows nothing about it
you post a picture of a level 37 account, yet you don't know what overwatch's tick rate is, or what the hit boxes are? where did you get that picture from? or did you just buy a level 35+ account so you could play ranked (if blizzard ever gets off their lazy asses and releases it)?
>People actually paid Blizzard $60 for a TF2 clone that's somehow LESS interesting
>>340489453
I can't be mad at you for being a faggot anon.
>>340489520
Also I'd like to point out it's not the hitboxes of characters themselves, but of specific weapons and projectiles. For example, McCree's bullets are only about a pixel wide, but they hit in a vertical line. So if you were to shoot slightly above someone's head, it counts as a headshot, but even slightly to the left or right would be a miss.
Hanzo's arrows are complete bullshit, though.
>>340489048
this
I don't even know why I play this game, honestly. 9/10 games are blatantly one-sided and people would rather kill themselves than work as a team.
Also every time I round a corner and find a mcree staring me in the face I die a little more inside.
>>340489743
>DONT BE PUSSIES FOLLOW ME GET IN THE POOOOINT YOU SCARED BITCHES GO GO GO STAND IN THE FUCKING SQUARE TO WIN JUST GO

I think if matches were more even people wouldn't leave every game. Also people who type taunts aftrwards make things worse. I just want fast qeue times to practice before I play with friends. it's really annoying that every match most of the losing team just rage quits.
>>340489810
You say tick rate as if that's the issue. It's client update rate. If you're going to bitch and moan, maybe it's you who should sound like you've played the game.

This.
If you want to win you have to play a specific class. Dunno about other people but 90% of the time I have to play either medic or tank because everyone else wants to play useless characters like Mcree, Reaper or Tracer. So many cunts don't care about teamwork with randoms, and why should they? But if no one goes Medic or Tank you automatically lose.
Game sucks if you don't have a group of friends yet my group can't play it every single day. The community ruins this game. People pick Reaper and don't play as a team because fucking pubs.
>>340489862
>Every time I see the cowboy doing his specific role I cry like a bitch
Yet no one complains about Genji or Reaper when they do their job.
I just noticed that d.va does the link from majoras mask scream when she falls off a cliff. KEK
>>340490016
so you have no idea what tick rate is then?
and you ignore the hitboxes as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UU8jqxAiHQ
the hitboxes are so large, you can easily shoot people out-of-sight and around corners. shills like you pretend these things don't exist, but to people like me who actually play the fucking game, they matter.
>>340490182
I can actually defend myself against a genji or reaper.
>>340490096
So they're still better dying on the point than they are staying back and dying uselessly. That overtime reset might be enough time for me to actually make something happen with Junkrat
>>340489026
Tracer is great for offense and defense.
I'd suggest you only pick her if you know the map really well and know what paths to take to flank the other team.
>tfw attacking on Volsakya as Tracer, finding a Bastion in the corner somewhere and killing him 20 seconds into the round
Save your ults for Bastion and Toblerone. Rewind is one of the best ways to fuck with people, especially if you both almost kill each other, and you rewind to get more health and finish them off. If you're fast enough, you can blink after you get hooked by Roadhog too.
H-Help me fellow Reinbros.

why don't people use my fucking shield to safely attack. i'm standing there for my entire shield duration and no one takes advantage of it.
then when i pick offense, i get a reinhardt that is too scared to push.
>>340490762
are you dropping your shield too much? or pushing too far forward when you don't have to?
>>340481393
It's setting in , getting tired of the game where as my friends play it like crazy I just can't do that. There isn't enough content in the game to keep me hooked
>>340488569
Optimal: R-Click (L-Click if they are close) / Hook / L-Click / Melee / (If you're taking heavy damage, E cancels melee animation and immediately starts your healing)
>>340490762
Know when to pick your battles. Charge people foolish enough to try to stand in front of you and break your shield. Your hammer is quite damaging and knocks people around. Be sure to stay on them and try to knock them into corners or places you can continue to smack them. Your Fire goes through other barriers, including Winston's. It's great when people try to runaway or back off in a linear or predictable fashion.
If you find yourself against another Reinhardt, try to get the first melee in. If he goes for a charge and you have no other option, charge into him as well, you'll both end up stunned, damaged, and knocked down briefly. Alternatively if you're good enough, barrier up and jump with the barrier angled towards him to be sent harmlessly flying instead.
>>340491031
I drop my shield when I think it's safe to toss out a firestrike. I do rush in sometimes but only because I think my teammates are actually trying to push so I go in and find out nobody followed me in and they all watch me die.
Honestly a lot of the times people just won't follow behind my shield and run off a sidepath and get picked off leaving me alone for the enemy team to rape. Then by the time I spawn back in half my team is dead because they decided to try and push without me there.
Too many of the maps are shit and there isn't enough of them. Could use some additional modes too.
Got tired of this at about the same pace as Splatoon

On the other hand, Reinhardt needs a very loud and distinct voiceline for when his Barrier is getting low. His current ones don't seem to grab people's attention. Even when it's fucking cracking and I'm backing away, dumbfucks will just sit there and then get picked off the moment my barrier fails.
Overwatch doesn't quite have the same staying power as TF2.
Biggest thing for me is that there's no community servers, but I suppose the way the game is designed wouldn't really work with them.

Imagine two people talking to each other. Ping is the time it takes for Person 1 to speak to Person 2 and get a response back. Low ping is preferred, as the data goes back and forth in a short amount of time.

>>340491276
hmmm, call i can say then is actually just say to your team "STAY BEHIND MY FUCKING SHIELD DIPSHITS". Dumbasses need a good talking to sometimes.
If you are getting bored gib your bnet account, I wouldn't mind playing.
>>340491560
i think it's enough, people don't pay attention. i usually just push to the closest bit of cover and use that when my shield is around 15% or so, then throw E's + let it recover.
they can clearly see when it's cracking, they're just dumb.
on another note, lucio's speedboost makes you push so fucking fast with your shield out, it's like the average running speed of a regular character.
Too little actual content.
Balance is a nightmare.
Matchmaking is a joke.
Loot system is some jew dogshit.
Needs a campaign mode.
>The steady stream of losses once I hit 50% win rate
Is there anyway to disable MMR? I dont care if I get banned for it
Problems with this game:
-Focus on counterpicking. Blizzard balances a hero like Tracer by throwing in a character like McCree to counter them. It's okay if a character will certainly kill, or at least survive an encounter with, 80% of the other characters, as long as one character can nullify them. The counter picking forces you to continually select from a small number of heroes (McCree, Junkrat, and Winston) that you will probably get tired of.
-Limited individual contribution. You cannot stomp pubs in this game, with any characters other than a very small handful. There are enemy characters like Tanks with a ton of health to slow you down, and other characters who can burn an ability to completely shut down your momentum or kill you. If you do too well somebody will counter you and force you to switch characters. Generally, if your team is doing well, you will do well, and if they do poorly you will also do poorly.
-Limited depth- very few characters have very high skill ceilings. There are a lot of characters to play around with, but a ton of them you can master in about ninety minutes, as long as you already have map familiarity.
-Wildly frustrating to play alone- this game has a huge focus on team composition and coordination. You have to make people pick a balanced team and also group up and work together if you want to win. This is difficult to do because of the almost complete absence of communication. If you monologue on mic about how a support is necessary you will be considered annoying and likely ignored.

Lack of custom maps is real deal breaker for me. In TF2 I could have some fun even on low effort maps like Orange. Here I'm bound to play same maps all the time.

>completely ignores objective evidence
>begs poster to stop posting correct information
overwatch shills are fucking pathetic
notice that this retard, and all the other retards, never once tried to respond or dispute any of the actual problems us (the people who play this game) have described?
-2 game modes
-maps all have similar designs
-glaring balance issues
-shitty tick rate
-giant hit boxes
all of these shills either completely ignore these easily verifiably issues, beg the truth-tellers to delete their posts like the shill i'm quoting now, or just accept them because "overwatch is casual" like this retard >>340490767
overwatch shills are everything that is wrong with game consumers today, and everything that is wrong with society in general.
>tfw hanzo on my team is getting consistently sniped by a mei and will not switch
Could someone please explain to me how the Overwatch community is even more cancerous than certain F2P games? And I'm not just talking about TF2
>>340492446
Not the guy you are replying to but could you fuck off? You aren't blowing any ones mind with this revelation. The games been out long enough for everyone to know its flaws and discern if they still enjoy the game or not. You aren't changing anyones life by shitposting
Its a $40 game so by the time you've played for 40 hours you've got your money's worth if thats how much you value your time. Also it's focused on online game so of course you should expect your experience to varry.

no i will not "fuck off". /v/ is for video games, not casual cellphone/facebook tier pieces of shit like overwatch. overwatch threads should be banned from /v/ and relegated to their containment thread on /vg/.
>The games been out long enough for everyone to know its flaws and discern if they still enjoy the game or not. You aren't changing anyones life by shitposting
so you admit everything i said is true, and you willfully ignore it? you are a pathetic sack of shit.

Nice meme.
add team death match so shitters can shooty shooty bang bang eachother
put indicators on the loading screens for the matchtype you're about to start so shitters at least know what they have to do
>>340492531
LoL isn't relevant anymore, WoW is too depreciated to retain an audience, GW2 is in the trash, Nexon games are still getting shittier, and steam doesnt have the same interconnectedness within the community as they used to a few years back.
Overwatch is the perfect storm and everyones hoping ship for the ride. Its hilarious and terrible but I'm excited.
anyone else experiencing unplayable lag?
>>340486373
game is too casual
as soon as you talk to rando's they tune you out.
that's why i hate this random matchmaking console shit where you dont even learn peoples names. you will never ever make a friend in overwatch.
Me, played 40 hours and got my moneys worth, ultimately a casual and fun game to play with friends. To casual to be played seriously and the server tick rate and mouse options are fucking retarded and amateur.
>tfw on an 16 game losing streak where my team just gets completely steamrolled by the enemy
>tfw can't even get good because the game hates me and I keep getting like 300+ms ping because I keep getting in games with Americans instead of fellow Australians
>>340492446
Do you honestly think Blizzard is done adding to this game any time soon? Name one Blizzard game on that launcher that doesn't get regular and substantial updates. Shilling or not that's undeniable. For a new IP this is a pretty solid start.
Why does it seem like Tracer is the hero with the biggest skill disparity?
You can have a tracer who's utterly shit and contributes absolutely nothing to the game whatsoever and wastes a spot.
Or they can be in fucking godmode topfragging and slapping the shit out of everyone.
You never see anything inbetween those twois it aimbots?
>>340494482
Headshots, she fires fast. It adds up fast. The difference between good and bad tracer is clicking on heads.
>>340491019
Nothing is more rage inducing for Rein players. Makes my blood boil when they run around solo then die and leave me alone on payload
>>340494398
We really can't win in Australia. If we get local servers it means we get good ping but have to play with Australians. After dealing with constant shitposting 24/7, I really do miss playing with the Americans
>>340494664
Not necessarily. A good tracer harasses and causes the enemies to send people back away from the objective to deal with her. Kills help, but that's not the only thing, being disruptive is. I play a lot of tracer and the first thing I do on cap points is get past the team and start cap. They usually only send 1 or 2, but tracer can deal with that many easily, which means the whole team starts retreating. At this point, your team has a free entrance upwards. Tracer does a good job getting past chokepoints, even if there's a bastion/mercy/reinhardt blocking off the entrance, all you need is one bomb.
>>340495000
Or you could just play Junkrat and do all that without the need of an ult or even direct line of sight
>>340494921
I'll leave the payload as Rein to fight the other tank if the other tank is shielding/drawing too much attention.
>>340492945
I'm happy this faggot found something else do to
>>340495148
How is junkrat supposed to get past their defenses and start capping a point, forcing members of the team to have to go back to the point to deal with him?
>>340493329
I got frame drops since Mon but my connection has been consistently fine.
>>340495273
Double mine jump out the gate, third mine jump gets him there just about as fast as Tracer and beats a Genji in a race 100% of the time. Then you set up and keep the mine down for a free trap kill or an emergency double mine jump back out if things get too hairy, but with the mine/trap at your exit and spamming grenades in front you can easily take on 3
I sure am Over having so many Overwatch threads on /v/
>>340495497
Junkrat is probably the most versatile hero in Overwatch and is only really countered by the full attention of a Pharah.
>>340484102
You care too much about victory.
Its kind of a boring game
Maps are poorly designed and very samey with not many paths, defense characters kind of dumb strategies down too much, 1v1 play is ruined by characters with stuns / hooks / high aim-indepedent DPS, and there aren't any secondary objectives to fight over on the maps.
Overall a pretty poorly made game.
>>340487502
I've played like twelve hours total and I'm kinda "done". I don't regret anything as I got exactly what I expected. I'll just play it once every few days or so. I wouldn't make a thread to blog about my opinions, but among my friends we're all in agreement.
It just depends on what else you have to play. It's not avoiding Overwatch because it's bad. It's because there are better things to play.
>>340494398
Where do you live? I'm Adelaide and the worst I've had is 90ms ping. Which can be a bad thing, it can take like three minutes to find a game during the dead of the night.
I was like 50 wins 70 losses when I was just playing one or two games at a time, but after a few longer sessions I'm at 110 105 now. It's the nature of the how many players there are per map, and the matchmaking. You get in a session with a decent team and stick with it and you'll be able to win quite easily. With so many people just dropping games, and the matchmaking forcing you to fill in the empty spot on a random shitter team is what does you in. If you don't have a coordinated team and the enemy does as well. And if you really care about W:L, just make sure to dodge shit like Attacking Hanamura.
Map design is the biggest issue in the game I feel.
>>340481393
>Are developers even trying anymore?
is this a new meme?
>>340488093
But it is a casual game. What the fuck were you expecting? I'm liking it, but I'm not even a fan of shooters so there's that.

Aim-independent DPS? You shitting me bruh? Pharah is fucking USELESS unless you get a direct hit.
>Offense on Volskaya Industries
>Run team monkey trouble (+1 lucio) and just rush the points.

I Have no idea how this happened.
>>340498206
Winston, Zarya, turrets.
>>340498206
I'm not that poster and I have no idea where you pulled Pharah out from your ass. You're wrong in that you need direct hits though.
I think that poster is referring to shit like symettra and winston and mei. Of those only winston is really a problem though.
>>340485773
Junkratian reporting. Double rocket jump from base is op.
>>340498330
Probably up against shitters. Winston does quite well in certain 1v1s, and can tank a lot of dps. That said, once they know what you're doing they can easily bring enough dps to bear if they themselves know what they're doing.
>>340498617
No doubt. A couple of them switched to le high noon man but I think we just went too quickly for them to react much.
>balance is shit
>had long range damage fall off, the shittiest and most counterintuitive mechanic possible in a fps, to try to "balance" things out
>add fighting game tier unintuitive hitboxes to round things up so the game has as little to do with an actual FPS as possible
>make small cramped ass maps that force you to constantly hug your team's ass or you're playing 1v5
Really not seeing how can anyone enjoy this
>playing solo cue attacking on Gibraltar
>two guys go Reinhardt
>I decide to troll it up and pick Reinhardt too
>the absolute madmen all switch to Reinhardt and one goes Lucio
>mfw there wasn't a single second the payload wasn't moving with our Reinhardt phalanx parked on top of it
definitely my favorite highlight since you can't even communicate through chat on console to do stupid shit like this
the other guys tried going double or triple Reinhardt when we switched sides but they didn't commit to it and lost again
>>340498710
Fair enough. Russia can probably be the quickest map in the game. With the enemy not paying much attention at the first point I singlehandedly won the game in like forty seconds as Tracer once in the beta.
>>340481393
After only getting teams full of hanzos and widowmakers for one 5 hour session I uninstalled the game.
It can be really fun with competent teams but that's rarely happening.
>>340486789
To be honest I never really get angry at video games. Upset? Sure, I've played Counter Strike for years, plenty of times people have gotten me upset.
But angry? Let alone unreasonably angry? Not since I was a wee lad.
But Overwatch is the first game that I've raged at in a long time. There is just something about this game that pisses me off and I can't put my finger on it.
>>340492272
I agree with this, but the game is still really fun to play if you have friends to play it with.

Are you the same guy thats been shitposting all day about getting bored of this game, ironically using game reaction images to avatarfag ceaselessly?
Why?
