If someone picks a tank and we need a support, I will support, and vice versa.
If entire team picks dps and says "we need tank and heals!", I just pick another dps. If we're going to lose, I may as well try to have fun.

Why should any of them switch?
My friends and I run three widowmakers and two tracers and we win 9.5/10 games.
They're smart enough to see what the team needs, but selfish enough to expect someone else to do it so they can play Widowmaker/McCree

Clearly, your team needed you as a Lucio rather than whatever else you were playing. You should have switched in the first place.
>>340715609

>>340715609
Only good Winston skin. How long until trading? Items won't have the same effect on the community and longevity of the game if you can't trade them and some real monetary value behind them. Hat Jews are the #1 reason CSGO and TF2 are still around, no amount of competitive esports autists will keep them afloat compared to the power of greed and capitalism.

Things that never happen for $400 Alex
I play alot of support, what irks me is the one guy that spams need healing when I am nowhere near them, they are behind enemy lines and then complains about getting no healing.
When I'm playing Mercy on your team and you are not getting healing/buffs then it's because I don't think you are as effective as other team members.
Give your support a reason to to support you.
>>340713872
It means they themselves don't want to be a healer and insist on someone else taking the burden.
>>340713872

I'm not going to pay attention to the 'trinity' in this game until they had more tanks and supports or make more of the current ones viable
As it is now reinhardt is the only real tank and lucio and mercy are the only real supports. All 3 are boring as fuck to me so I have no intention of playing those roles
It sounds like a douche thing to do but submitting to the meta is only going to make other players more likely to submit to it as well which is not healthy for this game. Does anyone really want to limit themselves to a small pool of meta heroes because that's what the pros/community consider to be the best picks?
That said, torb is fun as fuck, I can't tell you how many flanks I've ruined because a turret I left behind caught someone off guard, and if there's tons of carnage around you you can keep your team alive by constantly throwing armor at them.
>>340717314
>btw
Fuck off.
>>340713872
In pugs theres a delicate balance between 3 forces.
1. People who play a certain role often enough to usualy be useful with that role, but will switch if they need to .
2. People who don't wanna switch, regardless of if they're good or not.
3. People trying to improve an least-played character to get more versatile.
Overwatch it at its best when you have a 6 man and can start to learn to adapt to the enemy team. Cus if you get shit on there's no excuse.

I think you're lying there buddy.

He cant reflect winstons gun which is absolutely halarious.
>>340718030
>everyone expects D.Va to tank the same way as Reinhardt
>>340718212
Reinhardt is the only tank, Zarya is a heavy DPS/Support combo and D.va is just an annoying piece of shit that falls somewhere inbetween the role of Roadhog and Winston and doesn't actually do much.
>>340718149
At skills levels above extremely shit almost nobody picks them because it's ridiculously easy to kill them with snipers, pharah, genji, coordinated fire or just good play.
>>340717342
Fun with the most broken and op hero? k, yeah have "fun" being like everyone else.
How much practice with Widowmaker do I need to git gud? I miss so badly at times while all the other Snipers are no-scoping me.
>>340718407

She's 1 of the heroes that takes a lot of skill, practice hitting moving targets, I got good at it.
>>340718524
Level is not a skill indicator, the point he was making is that Torb and Bastion are utterly useless against good players.
>>340718636
sike,
>>340718636
Torb is actually much more useful than Bastion because his own primary gun is really good. The turret is much more for distracting fire.

>>340719208
What is Mercy?
>>340718913
zenyatta is a waste of a slot. the match was better off without him
>>340719208
D.Va
My CoD trained skills of ambushing and running around mean nothing if her shotguns just shoot confetti, even at point blank.
Had a painful game earlier. Our team on a payload attack map:
>Be me, Lucio
>Reinhardt
>Pharaoh
>Reaper
>Benji
>Tracer
The match consisted of me and rein hopelessly trying to push the cart while the rest of the team "flanked". We lost so hard.
>>340716621
How so? Im genuinely curious.
>>340719058
symmetra is actually better on defense.

I really hope I never play with you
How do I into Hanzo? I can't hit anything with him.
>>340719383
I like Symmetra, but it's both disheartening and an achievement when the enemy team starts hunting your Turrets.
>>340713872
Why don't they introduce some benefits for playing healers and tanks? Like every 3-4 games you play as one, you get an extra loot box?
Currently when I'm doing a solo queue I have to heal or tank in almost every game. I don't mind doing it from time to time but it just gets fucking boring.
>>340719447
wont have to. zenyatta shitters get MMRd into the same matches as the other wasted slots like dva and symmetra
>>340719531
literally just keep spamming arrows in the general direction of the enemy team.
>>340718913
>>340719447
Zenyatta is garbage.
Just because he does decent headshot damage, and can shred tanks, doesn't actually mean he's useful, since fucking everyone does decent headshot damage save Lucio, and half the cast of character shreds tanks.
>>340719563
Her weapon is suprisingly deadly, and her teleporter can keep more people at the front than mercy ever can with her ult.
Her turrets are weak and a mere annoyance, but cleverly placed turrets can net you some assists.
>>340719397
>be on attack
>pick Symmetra
Is there something I don't know or is that just fucking retarded?
>>340719615
The benefit is that you just raised your team's chances to win by a significant margin.

>i go zenyatta
fuck off gaywads, stop taking the game so seriously
go join an e-team or whatever you queers call it
I fucking love Symmetra on defense
>>340719682
She deals damage, gives shields, and has a teleporter. Have you never gone Torb on offense, you fucking shitter?
>>340719709
Sure, but most people prefer playing damage dealers, me included. If there were benefits for playing characters that most people find more boring, then perhaps everyone would be encouraged to pick them from time to time, making the game more fun for everyone.
>>340719682
I spam Turrets on the payload. Messes up Genji's and melee scrubs.
OVERWATCH FAGS LEAVE TO /VG/
NOOOOOWWWWWWW
SHOOO, SCRAM, SKEDADDLE!
>>340719682
to be fair, the defenders had two to three useless people with bastion and reinhardt and occasionally mercy camping in some corner which i could easily fuck up with her secondary attack because they simply wouldn't move.
>>340719862
Torb on offence is halarious, just push with your team and shit out turrets, dont even need to upgrade them.
Who cares if they die.
>>340719862
No, I like winning.
>>340719828
A symmetry portal can be so useful and even win games, im glad one of my friends plays her a lot on defense.
>>340719383
Symmetra is not a support and most certainly not a healer, she is a walking teleporter and that's it. Mercy+Sym is a nice combination but by no means is a solo Sym ever a good idea on defense.
>>340713872
I just don't pick healer because I'm not gay or a girl.
I wouldn't mind having a healslut though, Flying around as pharah is comfy as fuck.
>>340720113
>Symmetra is not a support and most certainly not a healer, she is a walking teleporter and that's it
Not a support? But you just said it yourself, she provides a teleporter
and sentries
and shielding
and she fuck people up in 1v1

Its easy guys, if something upset you, go ahead an switch. Not only is this unranked, but I dont know you, so I'll play what I,m good with, and actually contribute this way. I wont take a healer that I never touched just to fill a role I will half-ass.
>>340720269
The problem is that she doesn't heal (other than the pitiful shield regeneration), so she provides no sustain, which makes people think she's not support. Just like how people think anyone but Reinhardt is not a tank because they don't have a gigantic shield.
To be honest at the moment she might as well be labeled Defense, but she can fit in both.
>>340720593
>enemy team has junkrat
>destroys turrets by accident
>>340719737
>>340720068
Symmetra is very hard to play against a good team since they'll send a Genji or Tracer to destroy your teleporter every time it's up.
>>340719397
double healer is perfectly good you mongoloid
mercy + lucio ( constant speed boost/ passive healing + reviving ftw )
lucio + zeny ( make the robot ass less squishy and able to move further in the battlefield and debuff big fat fuck )
mercy + zeny ( same )
you just need a good team and not 4 genji with that.
>>340720765
The only Tank I wouldn't call a tank is Roadhog, but that has nothing to do with "no shield" and more to do with "no way of taking damage for teammates other than literally getting in the way of attacks" - he's more of a tanky DPS with some CC than an actual tank
>>340720864
Tracer dies nearly instantly to 4+ turrets even if she hits rewind
>>340720269
She's a Defense hero, not much different than Torb. Winning any game without a hero that can heal is almost impossible, winning defense without one is really not going to happen unless the attackers are multiple skill tiers below the defenders.
Overwatch reminded me why I dislike team games
I quit LoL back in S2 for similar reasons
I'd be more inclined to play it if Ranked doesn't match me with premades like quickplay does
>>340713872
That you need to go fast, heal fast and push people into holesAND BREAK IT DOWN
>>340720891
Zenyatta is only good if your team also has a symettra and toblerone who give you shields + armor, or if the enemy widowmaker/pharah/tracer is unreasonably shit

>>340721086
>when your team is so trash you get 5 golds as lucio
Healers are nowhere near as necessary as they pretend to be especially mercy who can't do anything solo. Half the characters have self heal function so they make a healer useless for them. The others can just find the medkits every two steps to heal themselves. A competent team can easily go without a healer and a shit team won't be carried by a healer. If its a shit team that doesn't have a healer I would rather go rienhardt or zarya to prevent damage and push the objective.
lucio can do it all. what an amazing hero

>>340721830
Symmetra counters every flanker not just Tracer and Genji. You will always be forced to focus on destroying her turrets first before doing anything and then get fucked because you triggered the alarm.
Also one thing I thought about is why not make Genji invisible to Widowmakers Ultimate? He's a Ninja after all and should be the only one able to sneak past enemies without noticing even with Wallhacks on.

It wasn't even anything particularly impressive. Just his turret blowing few guys up as he molten cored and that's it. Pissed me off like hell. I was practically carrying our fucking team.
>>340721830
If the enemy team has a competent Tracer/Genji, you'll be spending all of your time defending your teleporter and even then it's likely to be destroyed in most maps.
>mfw got the achievement for 4 destroyed teleporters just yesterday
The Symmetra must have been fuming.
>>340721872
Technically it doesn't, or rather it didn't.
In the closed beta the stats screen showed your actual Win/Loss figures up at the top, unfortunately the babies whined that it was hurting their feelings so they took away the Loss stat and replaced it by just showing your Wins. They also had it set so that if you joined an in progress game via backfilling it was impossible for that game to count as a loss, it was only possible to get a win. The problem? Instead of showing straight up Wins/Losses the game now shows Wins and Games Played in your stats screen, where before backfilling a game meant you would never get a LOSS for it in the current setup backfilling still counts as a GAME PLAYED.
So yeah, it used to not be a loss but now it is because they forgot to fix it when they catered to retards.
>>340722007
I always feel sad when I end up clearing a team out as Genji for a game winning push but don't get any cards. Makes me feel like no one realized what I did.
:(
>>340721216
That's the stuff
How do you guys deal with the MMR system in games like this?
It's pretty hard to tell whether or not I'm improving when my win rate is always going to float around 50%.

>>340722158
Same here man.
I guess that people just assume that Genji player=shit, because most Genjis honestly are rather bad.
Genji is hard to use effectively, but if you know what you are doing, you can be one of the most effective harassment heroes in the game, and your ultimate allows you to chop up pretty much anybody in seconds.
>>340722007
>>340722158
>Genji ultimate
>impressive
yeah, you can two shot everything with a blade that should be labelled as a sniper weapon since you can hit something standing at 202051 billions kilometers from you. And every kill reset your dash so you go at sonic speed.
>>340722552
Genji's ultimate does nothing for his survivability though, so you can still get instagibbed by Roadhogs, Junkrats, Hanzos, etc.
One of the first things to learn as a Genji is when to ult.
>>340722646
yeah cause it's so hard to flank with a character who can double jump and walljump without making any noises.
Also people in pub are generally retarded and never fucking look behind, even when I mercy I have to take care of the reaper/mcreeeeee myself. I don't know, maybe the THUMP THUMP THUMP they made when they walk isn't fucking loud enough for my retarded team.
If you're playing Pharah and you don't get a card at the end of the game for direct rocket hits, fucking why are you even playing her because you're absolutely useless.
>>340722861
>yeah cause it's so hard to flank
Won't save you if no one is distracting the enemy team since they tend to all focus you as soon as you scream
RYUJIN NO KEN WO KURAE
>>340723036
All you have to do is to wait for them to start fighting before jumping in from above, your team doesn't even need to be good.
>>340722925
That's a dumb way to see it.
I've seen cards for 30-40 rockets. That's roughly my average.
>>340713872
I stopped playing the game because every single one there would be no fucking tank or healer, it had to be me EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME or we have none and lose

He can but the turret's ROF is so low it's not worth doing most of the time.
I hope they make it so you cannot pick 2 of the same hero, it's fucking annoying playing with 2 widowmakers or 2 genjis
>>340720921
I'd also call D.Va not a tank since her headshot box is so large even enemy supports can solo you with ease. Not to mention revive doesn't work on her mech.

I'm not sure how healing would fix their piss poor aim.

WooooooW
It's funny how I always meet the same widows. They never play differently or better than others they are all mostly the same skill level. Kind of nice aim but that's not hard to do. Because 1shot = kill and if not they just shoot another one right after it. The Skill ceiling for her is pretty much zero.
WHO
THE FUCK
CARES
Blizzard tried to create "interesting" healers, but then forgot that each hero can only have a maximum of three abilities.
This game's "in depth" character balance is a trainwreck, because none of the characters have enough depth to support it.
And not even one of them takes any amount of skill. Some are actually anti-skill.
>>340727536

Shooting isn't an ability and neither is changing weapons.
>>340727947
But if you can't shoot, you lack the ability to shoot. Therefore, shooting is an ability.

4 right there. But wait, there's more, if we include some more contentious abilities:

That's 7.

Pharah X Mercy OTP <3
I never have trouble with this sort of thing, people are always filling the empty slots. I guess it helps that I mainly play support unless that spot is taken. I also never read any arguing in the chat or anything.
Is this an American thing? Or maybe at the higher levels of matchmaking?
>>340728359
>Melee hit (F)
>Pistol fire (2nd weapon)
I think you're the first in history who's dumb enough to say these things are abilities in a fucking FPS.
>>340728492
They are though. Mercy's pistol is her damaging ability. How you can't comprehend this just means you're a retard.
>>340728589
You're playing a shooter, shooting is not an ability.
Using abilities however, are and changing your weapon is not a fucking ability either.
>>340728492
You're definitely right. Reinhardt's charge and fire strike aren't abilities, since they do damage. Soldier's rocket isn't an ability either. Or Symettra's charged shot. Or Winston's leap. Or Roadhog's chain. etc. etc. etc.
Also the original post said everyone was capped at 3 abilities, and the even without the Melee and Pistol it's still at 5 abilities - and Mercy doesn't even have an E.
>>340728737
>You're definitely right. Reinhardt's charge and fire strike aren't abilities, since they do damage.
Nice goalposts.

how did anyone look at this character and say "yes, this is balanced"
>>340729474
Because everyone in the game is OP compaired to TF2
The fucking Demoman has an instant jump and unlimited Ammo
>>340729474
Don't forget that her assault rifle mode is still one of the higher DPS weapons in the game
and even though the mines are basically useless as a weapon, they let you know someone's about to be near you so you can GTFO
>>340729474
It's dumb, Widow with a pocket Mercy literally has no counter other than doing it yourself and hoping your Widow is better.
It's really stupid that Widow and Mercy have the best ultimates in the entire game, but what is even dumber is that they are also the fastest charging ultimates in the game.
>>340729642
Eh, the power disparity between Demoman and Junkrat isn't nearly as big as Sniper/Widow, and overpoweredness on the 1-shot hitscan class has a much bigger effect on the game.
>>340729859
Seriously this. I charged Mercy's ult before the round even hit the 30 second mark. It's way too fast coupled with the fact it recovers everyone to full hp, no matter what.
It should only rez people with a % of their health based on the % mercy completes her ult animation. So, if she does instantly, her teammates rez with like 10 hp.
>>340727351
Better aim = higher skill. That's what a skill ceiling is. Because aiming has such a high potential (up to being on par with an aimbot), that makes the ceiling high.
My rule of thumb is If more than two people instalocks something and one of them bitches about not having X I'm just going to play what I want
>>340729859
Reinhardt.
Widowmaker cannot shoot through his shield. Then all you need to do is have your Soldier/Pharah/Widow/Hanzo/Torbjorn/Genji/Bastion/Mercy shoot back.
Or get a D.Va to fly at them, push Mercy away, and two-shot them. Though admittedly this won't work if she's too far away for the boosters to reach, or if you miss a shot and Widow ziplines away (but D.Va's boosts have a much shorter cooldown than the hook so you should be able to get her anyway, it'll just take longer)
>game mechanics in Overwatch
>ult that can 1-shot entire team without aiming just for being at right place at right time
>ult that can undo a 5-person wipe just for being at the right place at the right time
>ult that is wallhacks for whole team
I was honestly shocked the first time I played Mercy and used her ult. I expected to rez the nearest teammate/the one my crosshair was closest too, but then half my team came back too.
Regardless of how hard it may or may not be to pull off, it just seems stupid to even build in this type of shit. Like, all the skill required to outdm 5/6 players, and the last one can just undo that and be like "lmao no".
>>340730139
If two people on my team pick the same character and start bitching, I always pick the same one they did just to rustle them even more
>Go 6 Soldiers for laughs

It's honestly kinda shocking how effective it is
>someone ELSE go healer
Fixed that for you. The people who shout shit like that are never useful on a team. Guaranteed 100%.
Your k/d is meaningless if you are still losing.
>>340730164
A Dva will get absolutely shredded by a damage amped and healed widow, Dva can't even damage Mercy's heal. Banking on a decent push-off isn't a realistic counter.
Widow isn't going to give a fuck about a reinhardt shield when she's amped, she's just going to do a good job of breaking it to support the rest of her team. Having your entire team shoot at her from across the map through a reinhardt shield isn't a counter because you're going to get cleaned up by the rest of her team.
Like I said, your best counter is to just do it yourself.
>>340730219
That's usually why I play Winston and just hunt down the supportThen my team still loses the 5v5
>>340730130
Everyone had the same aim. It was good but that was it. 80% of the widowplayers have the same skill.
>>340730219
If you don't kill the Mercy first your team fucking deserves to get all their work undone
Seriously the reason they're called "support" is because if you kill them the rest will fall downUnless it's symettra in which case yeah just kill her whenever
>>340730437
>If you don't kill the Mercy first
