Anybody meet any ragers in Overwatch? The community seems pretty chill and not many people use voice chat. Even in the normal chat people don't get that mad. Is it just me?
Also, Overwatch rage thread.
I've gotten pretty damn mad but i never rage on the mic or anything cuz im not a sperg. Haven't encountered it before with others either.
>>342395584
You would have no idea the shit I've been through today.
This might actually soon be like league.
Only one. After two of us picked Soldier three others did the same. The last guy wouldn't shut up about us "not taking the game serious" and how we're running the experience by making us lose. He continued to complain through the whole match even though we were doing well.
We ended up winning the match anyway because Soldier is too good. He just quit as soon as we won.
>>342395584
Overwatch isn't as infuriating as some games. I've seen some shit talking but I've never seen anyone just outright raging. I have voice chat off of course because I play with friends though.
It certainly is less toxic than MOBAs I've played.
>>342395584
How can people play to lvl 60 and still be so bad at the game? Should I just stop caring about winning in quick play?
Some assholes get really mad at their own team or get baited when someone on the other team says "ez". Still, the game doesn't give you much time to argue back and forth during the commendation screen
There was one guy having a mental breakdown because he was being shit as Roadhog and was blaming us because he can't into hook, though he didn't realize the mic was on voice activated instead of push to talk. The team kept typing "lol" in chat and he didn't understand why, so it just made it funnier. Someone eventually mentioned how his mic was on and he just shouted "oh fuck. WOOOW" and then left the game.
Stupid fucking tumblrinas and redditors report me for talking shit. Thankfully nothing has happened yet. But holy shit, some people need to kill themselves.
Seen people raging in text chat but never on mic.
Mostly complaining at their teammates for being bad or so on.
>>342395584
>picking heroes
>three people with mics including mself
>wait a few seconds to see who picks what but no one goes
>pick Zenyatta
>"NOOO we dont need a zenyatta we need a taannnkk"
>Well I want to play Zenyatta
>"well then we're gonna lose"
>so be it
We trampled them, I healed 6K and got MVP with 70% of the game on fire
>"We destroyed them hahaha"
fucking idiot.
>>342395584
I'm a consolepleb so it doesn't really count, but in the dozens of hours I've logged I've had two dudes raging over the mic.
Yeah.
>stomp the enemy team using 6 bastions (playing with friends)
>say in allchat "destroyed"
>some guy with turbo edgy name who was playing reaper calls me a muppet and tells me to shut up
>say "easy game to be honest"
>he loses his shit and starts typing 1 message per second in caps
>calls me a monkey, a mongoloid, a cum stain, a swine, ...
>laugh my arse off
>say "umad?"
>he remains silent for the rest of the second match
>they lose again and he leaves
>an hour later he adds me on battlenet and tells me that he is cursing my entire bloodline and that i shouldnt have messed with him
>deletes me instantly
>laugh my arse off again
Is there an opposite of mad? You know, overwhelming positivism and "feel good" attitude that completely shuts down any criticism someone might have? Because I keep encountering this shit everywhere.
Seriously you can't even begin to suggest someone might be slacking off or advise a character change without someone going "it's just a game bro chill XD", feels like I'm drowning in annoying Germans.
I had a guy yesterday message me that it was my fault for not getting on the objective to contest it for overtime. He was right but also wrong because I would've died the second landed on the payload
easy enough to just report shitheads and move on. games don't last long enough to get super mad
the worst ones are the league babbies that treat the game like it's a fucking scrim at all times.
Can't wait till comp comes out so they can leave qm.
>>342396651
He's gonna be collecting the Soul Globes of your unborn children anon.
We must be playing two completely different games.
>>342395584
i rage in the chatbox and make a fool of myself constantly, i'm afraid i'm going to appear on here soon.
fuck off blizzdrones, go to /vg/
Met my first rager today. It was a very close pub match that ended in overtime. "I hate close matches" and "Either steamroll us or let us steamroll you". I don't understand why anyone would be opposed to having a good challenge.
>>342396687
I know that feel, you're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't because even if you did go for it then inevitably died you'd still get blamed.
>>342396927
Occasionally I type some pretty long messages with general advice when I feel the team is underperforming, usually as a last ditch effort to turn things around, and I always get one faggot that just types "u mad XD"
Like for fucks sake I'm merely trying to help out, I'm not insulting anyone willingly.
Every other game I see someone giving their tear ducts a workout in the chat.
Played with some demanding faggot earlier who kept whining that I didn't heal him within 2 seconds of him calling for help so I started prioritising everyone else. Flame shirt and fedora wearing Genji players are the worst.
Some guy was raging a few games ago about a Bastion and Torb wrecking him, my entire team proceeded to make fun of him until he quit.
>>342395584
>30 hours in
i made a russian mad once, called my team bad twice
matchmaking is really fucked up though, the vast majority of games are a complete stomp and playing against premades is infuriating
I generally tend to laugh at stupid shit that happens to me. Now, when I'm healing and the entire team just fucks off in different directions and then dies one by one, i get pretty salty. Never get stupid over the mic, though... I rarely even have it plugged in.
>>342396445
Keep it up, blizz already said they weren't going to ban anyone
how do i micspam anime songs
>>342398992
can i get a source on that, my friend?
>>342398314
I've had teammates run halfway across the map from me to grab a healthpack and then act confused when they can't take it since I healed them to full health. And these aren't new players either.
I've had surprisingly little frustration in this game beyond being angry about some team compositions (when you instantly get a fucking Hanzo/Widowmaker and Genji on attack and none of them switch to support), some cheap bullshit kills, and getting stuck fighting Premades.
Never been verbal about it. I have asked politely once if one of said Hanzo shitters would switch to something else though.
I've only seen two counts of people actually raging in chat/mic:
- A McCree getting mad that people weren't pushing as a group on Anubis
- Some fag saying he carried his whole team followed by everyone on his team (and a couple on mine) calling said fag a giant fag
I talk stupid shit to my teammates, also I try to trigger the second team, or talk funny shit to them. Its pretty sad cause noone, or barely anyone responds
>>342395584
This game makes me turbomad, I have never experienced this level of frustration with any other multiplayer game before. Not even League of Legends could rustle me this badly. I start literally yelling at the screen after a couple of hours.
Most matches I can contain myself, but occasionally I'll run into some autistic Hanzo player that spends the entire game trying to snipe people from halfway across the map, and then I sperg out all over team chat. I actually don't play it as much anymore because of that.
>Go all Torbjorn on Egypt Map
>The enemy team shits blood
>Can't counter our sick PS4 strat
>>342400151
Playing with your friends kinda remedies that desu. For me playing solo sucks shit in every game
Every time I play Hanzo.
Overwatch is so chill I can't even get mad at it.
Well, except at the useless Hanzos and Widowmakers at the back trying to make a fucking montage instead of being a credit to the team. But other than that, nah, it's pretty hard to get mad at Overwatch.
It's either a prestige player or a McCree/Widow main main that start raging or just going full passive aggressive in chat
there's plenty of ragers, you just don't see the names because 98% of them are faggots that quit during the final seconds so you end up taking their spot in a match just to see DEFEAT
Yeah, ever since I hit level 30 and started getting paired with people up to 100 levels higher than me I'm getting a lot more people raging in chat after being defeated. Usually it's someone shitting on the healer for not being good enough and costing us the game.
Lot of people bitching about no healer, but refusing to go healer themself
the hatred i get for spamming "A-MEI-ZING" after every kill as mei is pretty heavy, but deserved.
>>342396445
People will silence you for shit talking too much. Watch your mouth anon, Blizzard isn't /v/.
>>342400845
"hey chill out" is the best
>>342400651
>Winston leaps in to the middle of the enemy team
>Drops his shield
>I NEED HEALING
>I NEED HEALING
>I NEED HEALING
>I NEED HEALING
they fucking expect Mercy to charge in like it's not hot shit over there? I've made it a point to just heal the teammates that bother to push/cap.
>>342401064
Flanking is part of getting the objective you dummy.

holy shit kill yourself
>>342395584
I get pretty damn angry at this game sometimes. It's just annoying when you play with people who pick heroes that either suck in the comp or suck on that map, and then when you ask them to change to a hero who will actually contribute they just say "why don't you." Makes for a very shitty time playing because the game is team based. Also when you spam "group up" in the chat and everyone runs in alone...like how dumb can you be?
I get the regular “sorry for noob team“ guy but it normally ends with the rest of the team just going all Torbjörn and mocking the PRO while the match wins itself.
The community right now is pretty relaxed
I played the beta and liked it a lot, bought the game and as soon as it released started getting really annoyed while attacking vs bastions and getting reaper fucked every 3 minutes.
I don't rage over chat or voice but I get really fucking tired of it. I feel as if every game is similar and I get frustrated even if doing well or winning games. I've uninstalled twice
>>342395584
Every online community has terrible people. In all honesty compared to Dota, CS and MMOs Overwatch is pretty chill.
About as many ragers as glory days TF2, that is to say, not many at all.
>>342401242
He's supposed to leap back out and get healed.
>>342401759
I haven't uninstalled or ragequit but I know what you mean about every game feeling similar. Team comps aren't as varied as they were initially and that makes it less fun.
>>342395584
I never use it because voice chat is a pointless feature in general. You're always either grouped up with idiots who can't strategize to save your life, or faggots who immediately discard any plan everyone agrees on. You're much better off improvising on the fly and adjusting to your allies movements.
Aren't they making a mode where you can't play multiple of the same heroes on each team? It's pretty tiresome having to find a new game when people cheese with 3x torbjorn and shit.
>>342399206
It's common sense
Games like dota2/CSGO that have millions of players cannot possibly be policed. Blizz can't pay enough mods to enforce the rules.
So you either go full nazi mode like RIOT and have tribunals (letting player base do it for you) or you do what valve does which is essentially fucking nothing, whenver you get enough reports you go to LPQ for a couple games.
Obviously the latter is preferred.
>>342397095
This is my biggest gripe with Overwatch. I have more fun being challenged by competent players and supporting competent players. Those end up being close games. Steamrolling means lots of people are tarding out, which isn't fun.
>>342401402
>>342401612
Way to prove his point, moron.
>>342400651
>>342401064
Holy fuck this
>Widow kill my mercy
>I NEED HEALING
Its ok, maybe they didnt see me getting killed.
>My team literally let Winston jump by them and kill me again, while i was fucking healing them
>I NEED HEALING
Imediatly change to roadhog
>''Why? now we dont have support!
>>342395584
I had one today. He got all pissy about Reaper's Q-to-POTG and started typing in all-caps.
The Reaper kept poring fuel on the fire though.
I'm glad I left.
>Guy has his mic on constantly, all I hear is his obese breathing, little kids sperging around in the background, and every mouse click/key press
>tell him to fucking use press to chat
>gets legit asshurt and calls the Overwatch community shit
>>342395584
Can't rage on console. No text chat, no one uses mics. It's probably the least rage game I've played.
>>342396037
I thiught everyone knew the rule. If 3 people pick same class, the it's a one class party
>>342399195
Fuck off Chris

Here's your answer

>>342400357
>implying this guy has friends
>>342401013
Oh god my sides
>>342403176
It's hearing a couple /v/ idiots arguing.
>>342403176
People need to stop taking this garbage seriously. It's just a casual shooter. Find a new server if the team is retarded, its not hard.
>>342402265
>guy has his mic on constantly
I fucking hate this. Every time I play World of Tanks (yeah, yeah) there's always one fucker with his mic permanently on who has his kids running around in the background, yelling and screaming and shit.
>>342403624
It's as casual as you make it m8, there's nothing stopping it from being competitive
>>342402106
Sounds like someone doesn't like fun :^)
>>342402116
>Blizzard already said
>Its just common sense
>>342395757
Yeah really this.
I'm not sure what's going on . It feels like everyone thinks quick play is a ranked matched or everyone is just one man armying it to get to 25 to unlock ranked mode.
No teamwork .
Guys swearing on mics like it's a fucking MLG million dollar match.
Nobody commending nobody and being salty lone wolf's.
>>342403810
It's really not competitive material It's like saying HOTS is competitive. It's just a casualized game. Doesn't mean it can't be fun, but seriously - quit - find new server - if the team is terrible. No need to rage hours without end.
>>342403825
It's not fun getting cheesed by a premade team.
>>342404082
I always yell YEEEHAAW and shit when things are going fine. I hope you are a okay with that, anon.
>>342395584
I pretty much leave a match as soon as we get a Hanzo when we're attacking. Feels pretty good desu.
>>342402689
I thought so too. Some people just don't know how the game works.
>>342395584
I had a dude rage at me (while playing Mercy), but then three other teammates told him to calm down lel.
>>342404781
But Hanzo is the most broken hero right now. Have you seen the arrow spamming retards? You know what, nevermind, I know what you are talking about now.
>>342404972
He's not the most broken, just the easiest to get a good Q out of. Most of those idiots can't get a kill otherwise so they're a net detriment to the team.
>Some retard is raging at me
>Instead of doing the smart thing and ignoring him I bicker with him for the rest of the game
How do I break this habit?
>>342404082
I always make the effort to say thanks and say gj but i honestly cant help but call people out for bad picks on def and attk.
Recommended someone didnt go Symm on attk on Kings Row and his mate called me blackie since I was lucio. also not white irl. was just like eh ok.
In the past month of constant playing, I've found only one rager, who was mad that I picked McRee, and everytime I killed him it was hilarious.
>>342395584
gg ez
yesterday I was playing as 76 and there was a pariah who just kept killing me all match, after his team won he said "ez" and started spamming really mean insults, it made my belly hurt since I was already frustrated and I couldn't help but too start crying, after that I quit and took a nap but still it proves that there are some really mean people out there.
>>342395584
I had one today, kept blaming us for having no Reinhardt while he picked widowmaker on Hanamura Attack.guess he has to experience tranquility
>>342404261
>That Junkrat
Perfect
>>342396651
how low is your mmr that playing multiple bastions doesn't get you rolled?
>>342396037
>6 Junkrat Party Offense on Hanamura
>Finish the map in exactly 56 seconds
>Enemy team instead of ragequit, just do another 6 roadhog to counter us after we switched roles
How come the community ultimately ignores voice chat? I usually join the chat room, I praise people, call out ultimates, enemies and don't spam the chat with memes and such. I do everything I can to be polite and informative yet for 9 times out of 10 I get nothing. I would at least understand if people told me to shutup but I just get absolute silence and feel like I'm just talking into the void. Such experiences make me less likely to use voice chat in the future.
Voice chat feels like its based off of momentum and that people are not using it because players are not using it. Is there any real way to turn this around?
If I'm playing Mei and someone starts flipping out I'll just type "Hey, chill out!" or "Cool off man". They usually don't get the pun and keep on bitching.
But I'd say 95% of my matches are with all chill people. I rarely encounter angry people.
>>342406015
>it's not my imagine
>can't upload my image because it's duplicated somewhat.
>>342406072
Voice chat will pick up once comp drops, because people will be more inclined to bitch
>>342404507
I would prefer that to
>MAN HEALERS ARE PUSSIES
Meanwhile that guy is getting scoped by Hanzo 10 seconds after spawn.
>>342405392
Nah I get that . It's just the people who are running off on thier own criticizing people who are helping that irks me.
I just alt f4
this game is so garbage
literally every other death is someone pressing Q
then I lose the control point because no one on my team even stands on it
half the games are just stomps where people are afk or close to it
>>342395584
everyone on voice chat seems to think they know the perfect team composition and will rage at you for picking someone they dont want on the team
>>342395584
Yes, me.
If you are a shitty hanzo/widow/flanker with no skills, I probably told you that you should hang yourself.
And honestly, you all should, every fucking team in my last 9 matches should, fuck all of you shitty scum.
>>342406560
Either you haven't actually played the game, or you're just really bad at it.
>on fire as bastion on attack
>guy on my team says I'm useless and not helping
>I'm on fire
>>342406971
nah it's just shit with too much low skill moba mechanics
I may be shit but at least it feels like I'm playing a game in csgo
I once raged at a Mei on my team that kept blocking the spawn entrance
It's too casual to make you rage. As in, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you get good xp nonetheless and level fairly quickly. There's no real losses.
this makes me angry honestly
>>342407075
So you haven't played it? Got it.
I have a funny story about this one guy
>Be me
>B.Net is Austism
>Austism is a mix of my name, Austin, and autism
>My friends gave it to me and it just kinda stuck
>Kings row
>Play of the game was mine
>Look to chat as always
>"Your name is not funny. Change it now."
>mfw
>tell him to fuck off
>"I have a son who has autism and he can read and plays this game. So heres an idea, change your name or i will get everyone i know to report you."
>I reply: "Heres an idea, Kill yourself."
>He then tries to convince the players in the current game to report me for telling him to kill himself
>Everyone called him a faggot
>He left after he got stomped again>He was playing bastion vs My genji
>>342407351
no I played dozens of hours
>>342404082
I don't bother commending anymore as I'd rather alt tab for the 2 minutes it'll take for the next round to start. I figure others do the same
>>342407341
End yourself
>>342407725
>i got destroyed in a video game and people saying gg triggers me

Mind you, that was the first game I joined last night but every other game I played everyone was pretty chill.

>>342407910
>getting triggered by gg ez
Had a good match and a sore loser on our team said "I cant wait for ranked mode so i dont have to team up with these worthless niggers" Everyone reported him. So they say.
Amount of salt this game can produce is amazing.
And the "Avoid this player" system doesn't help since it just means players just avoid those they can't beat.
>>342401402
>Reporting someone for being annoying
>>342407995
They removed the avoid system, anon
>>342405671
How bad do you have to be to not be able to kill a Pharah as 76?
had some mong play offensive bastion on dorado.
his only excuse was "silver elims :))))))"
kept calling us all bads/etc as we wouldnt play around him, retard kept trying to flank.

>Hanging around the objective
>Enemy team comes in

I gotta admit, when shit like that happens, win or lose, it's fun.
>Its a play video games for "fun" and not winning episode
>>342408461
If you've never done a 12 Reinhardt match it is fucking hilarious.
>>342395584
It hasn't been too bad. You get the occasional obvious ASSFAGGOT babby using ASSFAGGOT terms getting salty. I generally don't start shit flinging unless someone else is being a prick or being completely useless. I usually don't say much about team comps either even when people pick awful shit like double snipers on attack.
Will definitely be a lot more vocal in competitive if people pick meme shit like Hanzo/Widow double snipers on a attack on payload though.
Only ever had to bother avoiding a player a few times before it was removed.
>>342400151
I feel you. I wish I knew how to not get assmad at this game so I could have carefree fun instead. Not even LoL made me so mad even when we had somebody playing like and costing us the game I'd just chill and keep doing my thing until the inevitable loss.
I want to learn how to have fun again.
>say anything negative in Overwatch chat
>99% the answer will have the word "toxic" in it
Why
>>342407341
>mfw blizzard will not ban or mute players for this
>>342395584
It's a casual game for kids.
Overwatch has probably not even much players left, because kids hate fps. I had to wait over fucking 10 mins for a game, just.
>>342409417
avoiding players never did shit long term anyway.
It wiped anytime you closed the game
>>342409530
Because toxic is the buzzword Riot got everyone using. I honestly can't recall anyone ever saying "toxic" in a game yet.
>>342409765
>I honestly can't recall anyone ever saying "toxic" in a game yet.
I couldn't either, which is why I'm baffled now seeing the word in this pile of shit constantly.
>>342395584
just had a guy a few minutes ago rage because he didnt get potg. i like when people rage at me though. its like a compliment
>>342409763
Did it? I remember them saying it didn't work right anyway. From what I can tell it was removed because people were using it to avoid good players because they are shit.
>>342409736
1/10 made me reply to the b8
>team goes genji
>enemies go 2 torbjorns 3 bastions and mercy
>>342400796
this. granted, sometimes I refuse to because I played healer the last 5 fucking matches in a row. lucio and mercy are my top 2 most played heroes, and they're not even my favorites.
>>342407341
These casual softie faggots are the same retards who buy skins in CS:GO and play like absolute shit. Fuck that go play CoD you shitters. If you can't handle toxicity and get over it you're just a massive softie faggot.
>>342410004
No thats what blizzard feared is possible. The system barely worked to begin with. I tested it many times and just requeued into the same people.
But the entire concept of it is fucking retarded. Because, yes, in the same MMR bracket you'll run into the same people. if you block so many you'll either play up or play down the MMR
>>342400796
>Its a hanzo/widowmaker complaining about no healer episode
>>342410053
I don't understand why people go multiple toblerone. Like, at least as Bastion you feel like you're doing something. When it's multiple turrets that do all the work for you it's just boring for both sides.
the only thing that makes me upset is D'va players on any game mode, your literally a worthless element, you might as well afk in spawn because its not like your a part of the team.
>>342410292
its a console fag thing. Because torbs winrates like 70%+, due to consoletards being shit
Some guy was screaming at me in Russian a week ago
Luckily I speak Russian and can scream back
It was so long since I last really shittalked someone....
>>342410151
I usually try to just fill what role is needed because I like playing any role.
My top played characters are all of the tanks except D.va and Lucio at second most played. Thankfully tanks are my favorite role to play.
Had a level 64 Reaper go to match chat and say "control point is so fucking easy" then we lost the first round. "that was just a bait" and we won that one and he starting talking shit again so me and my friend decided to sandbag the 3rd round and he immediately quit when we lost.
i told some guy he was shit at the game and he just exploded in chat about CHINA NUMBA ONE and how i suck dick. It was really weird.
I ran into a pretty cringey Mercy who kept whining, saying "Why the fuck do you all suck?" and so on. Very irritating. Just keep that autism to yourself or only play premade with friends, none of us want to hear your bitching.
>>342395757
agreed strongly
a small pool for a team of only 6 people theres bound to be trouble since one person can fuck up and ruin it for others

>>342406275

>>342410741
>Butthurt over it.
Wut, it's related to the OP topic, dumb dumb.
i only get mad when i play for more than 2 hours or so and we are getting our pussy smashed in hard
or people instalockin shit like hanzo or genji when we already have a widow, tracer and a reaper
>>342410440
Yeah this. Torb and Bastion in general are way stronger on console and Torb's turret is even nerfed on console.
I played with a guy recently with some friends who mainly plays on PS4 who gets super salty about Bastion and I couldn't understand why because he's not hard to deal with. Then I found out he's playing on a PS4 controller, plays Tracer and Mercy exclusively and its awful at the same.
>>342410782
desu i play mei alot and she needs a nerf, the ice thrower is one thing, its fine. it's the face seeking ice sickles that do like 150dmg per shot.

Fuck if I know.
I was against a team with level 100-150s. My team had none except me. We fucking won easily. I even had level 30s in my team. I thought we were gonna lose bad.
>>342410628
>None of us want
I don't know why you think anyone cares what you want. Ragers gonna rage
>>342410898
They're still not as good as Hanzo arrows but if they get nerfed it will be only a tiny bit, maybe 10-15 damage
>>342395584
the whole point of shit talking and raging is not to upset you, or annoy you or because I simply hate you, but because being nice and commanding won't get you anywhere. you have to be aggressive with people. you have to really let them have it to let them know what they're doing wrong. most people don't think they're doing anything wrong, if you're nice, they won't take you serious. I yell at you to get good, i'm not saying it loud to be an asshole, i'm legitimately caring about your skills and want you to know that you need to get good. think of get good as whatever im yelling at you about that you need to improve. sometimes it takes a second opinion. mine just so happens to be condescending and rude. but that's just who I am and how I talk to people
>>342411007
My team let him know it. No I'm not talking about /v/, you autism boi.
>>342395584
>get hanzo, genji, widow, pharah forgot who else instapicked on offense
>no tanks, no meds, fuck you guys I'm going symmetra
>half way through the game one of them suddenly burst out screaming on the mic
>HAHA WE TOTALLY GOT THIS GUYS WE GOT A SYMMETRA
>yeah fuck this I'm out
>I had gold elims and objective time by the end
they fucking deserved it
>>342395584
If I get mad at my team, it's usually because they're just dumb and won't play the objective or selfish and just DM guys. In either case, I go Symmetra and place my teleporter so that either they die or it takes them years to get back to the fight.
>>342395584
How often do you guys report people?
I have a tendency to report widowmakers and mcrees for snap-to aimbotting
I dont use my mic but I rage at this game like no other.
The maddest Ive ever got at a game was MW2 spec ops and that was just a "Pete for fucks sake man stop running in there you mong."
But in OW everyone death gets a "FUCKING MOTHERFUCKER WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT" and a 5% chance of me quiting the game for the rest of the day.
Today a guy playing hanzo on offense (!) In Dorado told me to change soldier to something "useful" and that I'm retarded for playing soldier.
If he was mercy or a tank, fine,
But come on man, you are fucking hanzo.
>>342411198
>mfw getting mad and putting it so people just run off into their death
Thats the best use of the fucking thing anyway
>tfw you win the match but are still mad anyways.
>Cue up for another match anyways.
LEAVE BATTLEBORN ALONE!
>>342411307
Sorry, not Dorado, that American map.
>>342411268
>Snap to aimbotting
I'm surprised i have not run across anyone who i knew was hacking. Glad to see blizzards not fucking around when they said perma bans for hackers.
>make sure we win
>never get potg
>always some shitter hanzo or other idiotproof Q
POTG is a joke, but as long as the game is fun I don't mind.
>expect the game to be full of people on mics and chat going off all the time. a real casual experience I haven't had in a while.
>met no one with a mic in 17 hours of play
>almost no one ever says anything in chat even as a response.
>about the extent of it is spamming the stupid "hi" button
something about this game attracted a lot of autists.
>>342411280
It's how cheap some mother fucker can kill you.
Reaper players do it to me. playing Lucio, running around doing my thing; wall riding, knocking cunts off the edge, switching from speed to health when I need it.
Then get two shot by some fucking nigger reaper, who on the kill cams MISSED me like 6 times and was just holding down the mouse click and W. Then presses Q to kill my entire team.
Soldier isn't the class for shitters and new players, it's reaper.
Can somone post that comic with symmetra annoyed that everyone in overwatch is "Disorder"?
>>342411771
>>342407464
Not even the balls to say it on mic. That's one good thing about consoles, if you wanna bitch then you man up and say it yourself.
>>342411268
I've only ever actually run into an aimbotter in open beta, the rest of the time it's nothing out of the ordinary if you've dealt with tf2's snipers for years
>>342411412
The overwatch boogeyman in battleborns steam forums and sub reddit is hilarious.
Any criticism against battleborn on there is met with YOU MUST BE AN OVERWATCH FANBOY SHITPOSTER
>>342395584
The worst I've had was this guy who would go "YEAH WHOO!" whenever he did something over the mic.
>>342411837
thanks kind anon
>>342411717
It's funny how there's no real difference between training matches and the real thing. Most use of the microphone I've heard was a bunch of guys with thick southern accents talking about Widowmaker futa.
No match is complete without that guy who demands someone else plays support after he instantly selects an offensive hero at the start
>>342411683
>HASLHOF
my nigga
>get decent team that is not braindead
>reinstancing
FUCK YOU BLIZZARD FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
I just see people being really passive aggressive ("Good thing we had 2 snipers" etc.)
Healers tend to be huge babies though, whenever my team loses the Mercy always complains
>>342411894
>Stop that, you're bringing dishonor to my honor
I got called a nazi because a Reinhardt didn't understand that
>Harmony Globe is not an invulnerability device
>Other people need healing
>I can't heal him if I'm dead
He asked the other team to report me for AFK and raged like a baby. He said the game was lost and I told him it wasn't and to git gud. At which point who asked people to report me for harassment. He was not involved in the push that won us the game. People then voted for me in the end of game screen. He AFKed until the game booted him.
The silence was delicious.
I was honestly perplexed as to why he chose nazi of all things though. Is it more serious amongst Russian children or something?
>>342411962
and it's always the mercy. Too stupid to play Lucio, too shit to play Zen.
>>342411837
Yep, perfect.
Funny and sad at the same time.
>>342411051
I don't know how you interpreted that post but basically, don't ever expect anyone to give a shit about you in videogames. If they did, they wouldn't be such little shits.
>>342411962
>Healers tend to be huge babies though
That's because healers are the ones doing the most work in the game. You should be grateful.
>playing a sjw game where every character is gay
>>342399219
Tracer far behind enemy lines spamming NEED HEALING after running away while you tried to heal her. Or the team letting you die from an obvious flanker then NEED HEALING by the asshole that let you die, nothing triggers me like being a healer.
>>342411894
if someone is last to pick and there is no support, they should always pick support
>>342411962
I have gotten to the point where I will simply swap off of mercy when I see my team file in one after another to get slaughtered.
>>342412126
>every character is gay
What?
>>342411723
I find myself raging because of my team man.

Not sure why I bother anymore. I mean, tanking is decent fun, but I just want to try other heroes.

playin obvious premades are the worst
they really need to fix that shit
>>342412027
I play Mercy when there's only 1 good player, Lucio when everyone deserves heals, Zen when I want to fuck niggas up.
Symettera when I want to pretend Im helping when I'm actually just a shitty Torbjorn who cant use a toilet.
>>342412119
>That's because healers are the ones doing the most work in the game. You should be grateful.
hahahah found the whiny healer
>>342412119
No they aren't. Mercy literally just stands behind people and holds M1/occasionally M2 while they wait for their entire team to die so they can get a 5 man Rez while Lucio just plays Jet Set Radio.
When no one else plays support I always just play Lucio, do the most healing in the game and get 6 commendations despite putting in almost no effort
>>342412339
we were defense, mind, the widow couldn't get through the rectangle so she raged
>>342412225
the game is rampant with canon homosesexuals like tracer zayra widowmaker mei etc
>>342412198
This is usually how it goes.
But what really sucks is if the Support suddenly decides to change to a non-support hero, and you won't realize until it's too late.
>>342411962
>>342412119
Odd, I've only seen bitching from a gorillion flankers but easily hanzo/widow the most.
Healers seem to be tolerant, and tanks are ofcourse extremely rarely asses.
In the end its not that much different than when I played WoW.
The 0 responsibility to team guys are the loudest and shittiest.
The healers are silently doing their job, because while they took on the support role they also got out from under the responsibility of making shit happen/killing/pushing.
And your tank is TOO FUCKING BUSY to tell you to fuck yourself and do something because he is trying to make things happen while everyone waits for his push.
>>342412417
I always play tank because we always need one. Sorry to dissappoint youngling.
>>342412119
>healers are the ones doing the most work in the game
t. Mercy main
>>342412119
I feel like this usually because when you pick support you know you have to work with your team. You pick Reaper or something and you can basically just fuck off on your own.
It's fun to 1v5 on the payload as Lucio, knocking people around and grinding all over the cart until your dumbass teammates get the hint and join you.
>>342410998
>I was against a team with level 100-150s. My team had none except me. We fucking won easily.
blizzard have stated that anybody who played in the closed beta, open beta or stress testing received a mmr that is applied to the launch game so you can literally be matched with a level 1 and it's possible they'll have more playtime on the game than you
never mind that level is a meaningless metric when quite a few heroes play like a generic fps and a significant majority are lifted out of other class based fps games (namely tf2) with significant overlap between them (i.e., mei and symmetra basically being pyro as far as attacks go) so that anybody who has played an fps before will grasp the game and still kick your arse, class counters excluded
besides, level 30 is a good 15-20+ hours into the game and it won't take even 10 hours of gameplay for an average person to learn all the heroes, their abilities, and ultimates, and significantly less time to learn all the common heroes at any rate
Blizzard will silence players for babby shittalk.
They need Overwatch to be a safespace for it to be successful.

I'm usually pretty chill, I play with a friend as a pharmercy combo, but lately the matchmaking has been utter shit and it's been pairing us up with useless teammates after useless teammates. I don't mind losing, but I hate losing when our team is just bad and barely making an effort. A few times we've remarked about our team being bad or us doing all of the work. I just want to be matched with decent teammates, is that too much to ask for?

>>342412198
wtf is this beta shit
you should pick whatever the fuck character you want to play as, and fuck whoever tells you different.
If they bitch, then you tell them to fuck off and go support if they want one so bad
>>342412712
Play Zarya or Roadhog then

>Zanyatta's ulti is amazing, as a healer he feels like he's underperforming.
>>342412682
It hasn't even been forced 50%, in the past two days we've played like 14 or 16 games and we've won 4 or 5. It's terrible.
>>342411962
The worst I've had is a Roadhog who, after dying charging out past the chokepoint, raged at our Mercy for not healing him.
He then said 'Fine, no tank then' and instead of ragequitting, he just sat in spawn for the rest of the game and did nothing.

As a guy who legitimately loves being Lucio more than other classes, I am so glad I never have to deal with this shit.
>Go Lucio
>Play against all offense team
>Bored out of my fucking mind because it's so easy to beat them
>>342407341
reminder these are the new breed of pc gamers
>>342400570
As someone who's top heroes are Hanzo, Mercy, Roadhog, Genji and Lucio, all I can tell you is to reserve judgement on Hanzo and Widow pickers until they go shit. It'll show at the first push, they will tard out or they'll be a huge credit to the team in form of major pick offs.
>>342407341
What's ninja quitters? I thought the best think about this game was that you could just find a new match if your team sucks dick?
>Play Roadhogg on Illos.
>Other teams Roadhogg and I spend entire match trying to pull one another into pits.
>Pull him into the middle hole, he pulls me down with him.
>Both teams get mad at us for fucking around.
Instantly friended.
>>342412979
How can you be shit at Roadhog?
You literally just hook squishes and Reinhardts then shoot them in the face
>>342412979
Git gud then, Zarya and Roadhog are far more self-reliant and useful when your team is a useless sack of dangling shit, Rein needs teammates.
Zarya might be the most effective tank altogether, and I'm pretty bad at her.
>>342412198
At least Lucio and Zenyatta have fun play styles
>>342410151
completely agreed and thats how i'm playing. lucio is most likely my top played hero since everyone only plays hanzo/genji tracer and reaper
feel like i'm playin with a bunch of children
>>342411838
There isn't an allchat for mic: only team and group.
>>342412587
Point still stands.
Level 100+ players still played that game for more than let's say 90+ hours give or take.

My team was probably pissed
>>342413039
The game gives you a 75% xp penalty if you leave a match too many times.
This is probably so you get impatient and buy some lootboxes since thats the only thing leveling up affects.
>>342395757
This.
Once you start getting more levels you start getting more and more ragers that only insult instead of telling what they think you are doing bad
>>342413086
>someone on the other team plays the same character as you
>form an instant rivalry with that person
I can't help it, it's like I have to prove to the other person that I play better
>>342413196
You misunderstand, if he had problems with his team he should have sacked up and got on mic. But why do that when being a pussy bitch is easier?

Well it makes sense you shouldn't be playing like a fucking beginner at lvl 100 and picking attackwidow/hanzo every round on KOTH.
But it still happened like 4 times today just in my few matches.
>>342412323
Please tell me that what his name and he was playing reaper

>Kill a widow once or twice, widow complains in chat about Pharah being bullshit
>Over the course of game kill Widow 8+ times, get close to winning the game, but we have a useless symmetra on offense and an overall bad team
We may have lost, but killing that widow constantly was fun enough to make up for the loss.
>>342408827
Has anyone managed to pin a Reinhardt who's already got another Reinhardt pinned?

Gets even better when they do the exact same thing.
>>342410998
Levels don't mean much if they're not in a group. Bad moments happen all the times in PUGs, so you can get destroyed even at high levels because of the opportunities created by other players (and yourself).
