Nice game you got there, Blizzcucks.
Healers should be removed from the game, or if you need to cater to heal sluts, make them optional, no straight white cis men enjoy playing support.
>>343228505
you mean 3 you need reinhardt

Reinhard is playable though, you can actively participate in the game while mercy is just a buffbot for other teammembers
>>343228956
>he doesn't get eliminations as Mercy
It's like you're trying to be bad.
>>343228505
the main issue is there isnt alot of healers lucio and mercy are the best of the three healers. 4 if you include soldier 76, but lets be real. once they start adding more supports it will even out.
Every team needs healers, and those are the only good ones.

mercy is a horrible character, boring as fuck, takes no skill, should be reworked completely

I've honestly just stopped playing support characters completely unless it's KOTH so I can push fuckers off the edge or if I feel like playing Zen once in a while. There are enough characters who can self-heal and I have a good enough sense for where health packs are that I almost feel like a dedicated healer isn't necessary for success.

Symmetra only hard counters a couple heroes and both her and her turrets die to a stiff breeze. Literally get good.
ALL games with some form of healer end up this way, they're vital to team comps. Has nothing to do with Blizzard.
>>343235637
They never said that Symmetra was strong or hard too play against, but anti-fun.
I have no problem understand how to play against her, her kit is just annoying and anti-fun. Like Mei.

What exactly is "anti-fun" about her kit? Any kind of ranged attacks demolish her and make it a 5.5 vs 6

Only autistic people play Symmetra.
Symmetra herself has autism.
She even says "Sanjay has always said i was... Different. Everyone Has. Asking where i fit on the spectrum."
Symmetra mains confirmed autistic.
>>343235906
I don't believe you don't have any trouble against her. I don't get annoyed killing scrubs.
And she's not at all like Mei. One of Mei's specialties is 1v1ing people and she's a tough encounter unless the player just sucks. 1v1ing Symmetra is fine unless you saunter into one of her lairs like a dipshit.
This game's ranked mode is complete fucking garbage.

He is, I just honestly don't have fun playing as him unless it's KOTH. Yeah I can do tricks all over the place, but most of the high-end Lucio shit involves either breaking away from the team, which is dumb, or wall-riding while hoping everyone on the other team is too shit to shoot me.

Is literally the best right click attack available.

What is the point of Mercy's Damage beam?
Any scenario when you could be using it you should instead be healing your team because they likely are currently taking damage.
Does it even buff damage that much? Personally, I'd rather have a speed-boosting beam or just anything that seems like it would have more utility than that.

>>343241342
It's useful for character's like Pharah. The damage boost applies on the moment of impact and not the moment of firing, so if your timing is good enough you can tap the boost the split second the rocket connects then switch right back to healing to continue healing.
>>343241342
> Personally, I'd rather have a speed-boosting beam
But that would be totally pointless. You'd use it on one person for a second or two and then they'll just boost away and leave you in the dust. At least Lucio can keep up with his team when he boosts.

>Does it even buff damage that much?
By 30%, yes - enough to hit damage thresholds on Pharah and Reinhardt at the very least.
The example I can think of off the top of my head is that it lets Reinhardt kill a 150HP from full with Earthshatter and one hammer swing, and a 250HP with Earthshatter and two swings. Under boost, Earthshatter and Charge also breaks the 500 damage mark.

There are plenty of circumstances where the Pharah or McCree or Soldier 76 or Junkrat are throwing out damage from a distance before my team starts taking any significant damage. And yes, the boost makes a noticeable difference.
In general though yes, you should be healing in a direct encounter.

The next new character is rumored to be a support sniper or something like that. Seems to be looking like Pharah's mother but I don't know how they would make her a healer if thats the case.
Its like you said though about lack of healers
>4 supports the least of any role in the game
>1 has great AoE heals, other is great single target heals
>Other healer is a glass cannon offensive support with mediocre healing (except his ult)
>Other support might as well be defense and can't heal is the most situational use character in the game
>Symm, Zen basically are not viable without Lucio or Mercy on the team.
They really should do something to make Zenyatta a somewhat more viable solo healer, switch Symmetra to the defense role and replace her with a new healer.
I have an idea to make zenyatta a better healer instead of both his orbs being religated only to debuff and healing why not give the option to make them both healing or both discord keep his damage the same would be a great support character then and could heal somewhat efficently still not as good as mercys solo heal or have as wide a range as lucio but be a good middle ground and would be a great support character on defensive objectives
>>343228505

>>343246906
>when to switch to damage over time as I play?
Literally just be roiding a DPS or a non-Reinhardt tank whenever you have no one nearby to heal.
And I mean nearby. Either they're an infiltrator and they shouldn't expect your healing or they're venturing too far and shouldn't expect you to be pulled away from the core unless you can safely fly there.
Pistol is for defending yourself if you get caught away from the group, or under narrow circumstances usually involving you not trusting your team to take out something like a turret Bastion or an ulting Pharah.
>>343246906
That could work but i like the idea of swotch between the modes like you would mercys alt weapon for example. And i feel like itd work well character wise just call the 3 modes ying ,yang, and balance. Ying being all heals yang being all debuffs and balance being what it is now like i can picture that working into the story of the character and pitching it as an upgrade he recieved for reaching the next stage of true enlightment if they wanted to add a story reason behind it
>HEAD ESTABLISHED!
What did she mean by this?
>>343246906
Coming from a frequent Mercy player, Speeding her up like that and still keeping her Guardian Angel would make her kinda OP I think.
It would make her way too hard of a target.
She'd be able to essentially DBZ-style instant transmission around between Guardian Angel, speed boost and her hover.

I swear to god if that support sniper character actually gets added it'll be more cancer than Widow and Hanzo players because you'll have shitheads locking her down then proceeding to do absolutely nothing of value halfway across the map from the objective and blaming everyone else, while simultaneously demanding respect because they're technically a "support" character.
>>343246216
I don't mind Zenyatta being a more offensive based healer, even if right now it's better to think of him as a glass cannon that just happens to be able to heal.
I wish he was faster though. Better movement speed might increase his survivability without changing his kit too much.
>>343247974
His sword is called Eugene, and he's making sure the other team knows it work well as cutlery. English is his second language, so you'll have to forgive the broken statement.

Feels good adding more value to the game than the diamond dozen genji/hanzo/widow/mcree mains.
Stay salty that anyone that plays support is guaranteed to help out their team significantly, whereas the bar for a DPS main is much higher
76 is a VERY good hero, but he should be more of a jack of all trades and a master of none, rather than the DPS tank machine he is

So ive noticed idk why though symetra is fun as hell and hella useful on alot of maps and lucio is amazing all around i mean even with the damage nerf he got im still getting plenty of kills especially when i speed around rhendhearts and force push them from behind and push him towards our team and fuck him up plus just throwing your blast beats out at range keeping people from being at full health leads to one of the many hanzos i always play with to one shot people. Or finish of said people if they survive a sniper hit plus combo force push with half a clip of your gun kills most people under 250 health no problem

>lose because of MLG hanzo
>>343250984
Yeah, it's a bit strange. I think it has a lot to do w/ the fact that the game, despite its MOBAesque elements, is an FPS, full stop. People go into it expecting an FPS and for their experience to be an FPS one. So, they gravitate towards the classes that come closest to the "classic FPS" playstyle, hence the prevalence of genji/widow/mccree/76 players.
>>343228505

Now that I have your attention, is Overwatch like Killing Floor as, as long as you understand your role and know how to play your class you can prevail without any sort of communication outside some short text chat, or it is a game where voice chat and perfect teamplay are vital?

Is this how a dominatrix feels?
Why does this game have the most generic tunes? Jesus it's like I'm listening to something from a nick toons flick.
Mercy charges too fast. I get 'hurr kill her first' but it charges so fast it can counter any good ultimate from the opposing team.
So many games i've had great, coordinated shut down wipes completely negated by a mercy, then them killing us and our mercy ressing everyone and it's just back to square fucking one except the only person with an Ult is FUCKING MERCY AGAIN.
>>343251693
You can definitely get by without voice chat. In game text chat and voice wheel commands are enough in most situations. Intuitive teamplay comes after a while of playing when you get out of shit mmr brackets. In competitive a mic is definitely an advantage, but it's not a necessity.
>>343251693
Similar to KF, but you can't exactly carry, apart from winning a single battle for your team that can impact the game heavily
I've played with minimal communication myself all this time, and some simple "we need a phara" or "let's go two support" is enough, along with the chat wheel as >>343251932 mentioned for ultimates etc.
>>343251923
Have a flanker like Tracer, Genji, or Reaper make it their objective to keep the Mercy on a respawn timer. Even if they do nothing but kill Mercy over and over again they are doing their job very effectively since a lack of support can easily push a fight in your favour.

When people don't move away from me, we hold can hold a point with zero problems as long as people are actually killing the other team and protecting me but jesus christ, when people move away it's retarded.

Dont get me wrong i love soldier 76 if the healer and tank slots are filled thats who i pick in pugs and tank i alt between roadhog , rhendhart , or d va depending on who would work best in the team comp and level im running on but i guess my point is in a game like this you got to be flexiable i try and play atleast one from each type pharah and soldier from dps mei and junkrat from defence i play all the tanks except zarya because i just cant get good with her and i can play all the support but favor lucoo and symetra i just dont know how people can just pick one character and stick with them only just seems boring i cant pick just one character and any game though really so maybe its just me

Thanks for your answers. OW seems to be fun, but I'm not good at shooters.
>>343251693
The game is competitive unlike Killing floor so the skill ceiling is much higher.
You can do fine without voice communication and coordination but you will start running into people who do and no matter how good you are you will lose if you can't work together.
If you don't particularly care it doesn't matter though.
>>343252247
Then Overwatch is perfect for you
Sure having good FPS skills helps, but as many characters have unconventional weapons and abilities that don't specifically rely on aim, you can still be useful to the team regardless
As with other recent Blizzard game, it's the casual shooter to go for
>>343252247
Then i recomend for you to start with winston or symmetra no real aiming required for there weapons
>>343252247
Me and a friend of mine weren't historical shooter players when we started either. He's now quite good with one of the harder to aim heroes with a high skill floor (Zenyatta) There's heroes that require less aim to still be effective. Examples are Symmetra who's primary fire locks onto a target in short range, Mei who's primary fire goes into a cone in front of her, Torbjorn who has a sentry turret that can do a lot of work for him. There's also support heroes like Mercy and Lucio who don't get into firefights anywhere near as much as anyone else but still contribute a lot to the team. When you first start out, you'll be grouped with lower level/lower skill bracket people, which means you won't be getting steamrolled by fps pros. Since there's a huge playerbase, even if you are less than average at an fps for the first few hours, you'll stay matched with people similar to you, still giving you fair games to let you improve in.

What this guy said >>343252460
Fuck one character is literally swinging a hammer in a 180 degree arc or holding up his shield.
It's like playing oblivion.
>>343252178
Happens because it's easier and better to pick off people that are coming from their spawn point running over to where you are defending. They are not yet organized as a group at that point. Especially so if you've broken their first wave.

Feels fuckin good man

just be glad he wasnt playing someone who was actually good, then you'd REALLY get stomped

This, screw a health buff.though I wouldn't complain about getting oneI really think it'd help way more just to have him move slightly faster.

I've never seen people picking supports so actively, this is ridiculous, I might start liking the game again if this continues
>>343253182
>fucking adulthood
That's just life bro.
>>343253516
>get a movement speed increase if you have both discord and harmony orbs active
Would that work?
I hate the fucking stigma of playing Honzo. I realize tons of kids and shitters are drawn to the character but if you know how to play him well you can be a real asset to your team. I'll routinely lock down pathways and points and have gold in eliminations, damage done and objective kills. Yet inevitably there will be some fucking 76 or Mcree that talks shit.
>>343253871
This
Having a Hanzo that doesn't suck shit through a straw can be a real asset. Same with Genji and Widowmaker although the latter is harder to justify even in the hands of a competent player.
>>343253516
>trapped by junkrats trap
>his hitbox reaches to the ground
This triggers me.
>>343228505
Healers are complete shit. People STILL don't know where all the health packs are.
Supports should still be in the game, just with no healing skills. Mercy focusing on damage buff, Zen debuff, Lucio speed buff and make them a bit more combat oriented. Keep their ults though, except make Mercy's harder to pull off and Zen's just be a big safe zone or something.
>>343253647
gonna need a source on that, champ
>>343230701
I wish I could play him that well.
>>343254209

How does such a bug even happen in the first place? Can we blame consoles for that?
>>343254774
D.va is a shit tank though desu, her E cooldown is too high and her cockpit hitbox - too big. She is a great ambusher and sniper/healer killer though. I love D.va
>Attack/defense, we play defense
>A guy picks a cheeky Bastion and stands pretty much in front of the spawn

>mfw
>>343255161
D.va is best flanker imo; mccree has been nerfed into uselessness. get behind the enemy on payload stuff/koth and kill support and then use defense matrix to escape. bliss. you're really only hard countered by zarya, everything else is matrixable.
>>343254630
>junkrat believes it
its great
>>343255161
D-Va would be an amazing tank if her E cool down was lower and maybe if she could shoot while flying, or at the very least if her physical hits did more while flying.
>>343254681
>currently catfishing Genji
Kek
>>343255275
Shitters also never expect D.va without her fursuit to be brutal. I usually get more actual killing blows while out of suit than in it because lol styrofoam bullets.
If they buff her movespeed or at least reduce cooldown on her E I will buy this game once more.
>>343228505
competitive mode is such a joke, blizzard is fucking retarded
I got disconnected in the middle of a fucking match, this is total mickey mouse amateur house bush league crap Blizz is running here.

It's a pc game, they still playing LoL an WoW (c'mon now). Consoles have moved on to better things.

D.va was made to put pressure on Mercy and break up pocket heals for Roadhog.

>We have the series that killed fps games
Good job
>>343255963
See a Mercy trying to charge off roadhog or otherwise lagging behind her team? Charge and kill. Upfront D.va's styrofoam actually hurts and her charge often disorients scrubs. After that E and charge to a fat medkit (you do know where those are, right?)
The only character I have trouble against is Harambe tbqh. He is almost as mobile, E is useless against him and he actually can deal damage. Also, Lucio, simply because he almost passively outheals D.va's puny damage and can circle you.
>>343254681
>You will never become USMCDad or Hanguk
>>343255475
now she's just bad and other characters does her job better and more reliably
>>343256776
No other character flying like her.
>>343256776
I beg to differ. Sure she is not the best and most optimal pick. But bad? Not a chance. She is very good and can be a massive thorn in enemy side if played as she is supposed to be played - as a hit-and-run flanker and squishy killer.
She is also insanely fun to play. Only Lucio and Tracer can compare.

Best skin for Symmetra.
