I leave everytime this happens. I'm on a 5 streak leaving penalty because I don't want to play with people so retarded they can't chose an okay team comp. I don't even care if the team comp says we need X as long as we have a healer and tank I'm fine and will stay.

funny enough
I have almost an equal 14 hours on Mercy and Roadhog.
Good thing I like both.
This is the reason why I stopped playing Overwatch

Playing Reinhardt is simultaneously the most enjoyable and the most stressful experience in the entire game.

It was at that moment after already putting up with so much bullshit when I decided the game wasn't worth playing anymore, and why I've just given up on team based shooters as a whole
>>345117272
The best part of all of this?
If you are being healed, you get large marker on your screen that shows mercy's HP and her current location to you.
>>345117272
Stop playing Mercy with pubs. Its just to frustrating since you cant do anything to turn the tide of the battle.

It's usually Road hogs who see me and get a good snipe on me with the hook. And this is the case with all the healers. As Lucio I can't go fast to avoid easily, as my team needs healing. As Mercy, If I'm not attached to Pharah he can usually out predict my movements. And while Zenyatta can defend himself against most things that usually kill me, his health pool is too poor without a Torj providing armor until his buff rolls in. But the worst is when Junkrat blind-fires and weakens me and flankers swoop in to finish me off.

>5/6 picked
>Nobody picks tank or support
>I give up and pick Roadhog
The self-heal is godly and Roadhog on defense is probably the closest thing the game has to a hard carry. Dance in and out of cover harassing with M2 and keeping your health topped up, and hook+assassinate a low health hero every six seconds. If they enemy attempt a push, push them all the fuck back with your Q.
>>345117416
The sad thing is that I actually love playing as tanks, and I'll always play as the tankiest character in any game as long as they aren't garbage, but because people will rarely ever pick a support healer I feel like I'm inclined to do it since people won't stop complaining about the lack of a healer all game.
>>345117626
Same. I love playing tanks and OW has some good ones. Winston and Reinhardt and probably some of my favorite tanks of any game.

There's something very oddly satisfying about playing Winston against squishies in general. There's nothing like getting up in their face, and then watch them helplessly try to run away as you leap after them in their futile attempts to escape.

>>345117416
>It's a team holds off attackers until Mercy dies game
>>345119292
I play Mercy and I look after myself. You don't need to keep your reticle on your heal target, which means your head should be constantly on a swivel looking for flankers. You should try to position yourself so you're less exposed and have an escape. If you see danger approaching then react to it, pull out your blaster and defend yourself.
Yes you'll get shut down from time to time by good Tracers or Genjis, it's their job. But people who whinge that their team doesn't protect them suck at playing Mercy. You're not there to be protected. You're there to support your team so they can get shit done. Defend yourself.
I honestly thought that it was just Xbox One that was full of shitters who were unwilling to switch.

>>345119640
Yes, you can and should defend yourself as Mercy. But your options are limited and the fact that your team do nothing to assist you despite being in range shows a huge lack of awareness and is just really annoying.
>it's a game where your team believes in the "Soldier 76 is the most generic character so he is decent in every situation" meme and suddenly you have 3 76s that just tickle the enemy while they're hiding behind shields and healing all the damage immediately
>mfw a lucio is keeping his healing aura up JUST for reinhardt when everyone else is topped off
we all know mercy is superior in terms of healing and usually the better choice in anything but KotH.
but what if the tank was a zarya or roadhog? someone who can regain at least half their health.
then is there any point to have a heavy healer like mercy or is lucio the better support option?

the best feeling is when you snipe down that fucking Pharah, or the ulting genji behing you.
i haven't played this game for a week now because it's just too frustrating.
I will pick whatever my team needs except for Genji. I hate playing Genji.
My biggest gripe is when a team gets wiped out or nearly wiped out, people just run out of the spawn point to go 1vs5 and get killed instantly. They all fucking do it. I'm always saying "hey guys let's wait a second and head out as a team". Nope. One by one they charge ahead and try to blame the tank or healer for their retarded decision to take on the whole team alone.

Real fun, I love being punished because my teammates are multiple skill brackets beneath me but still get put in my games.
>>345121554
It seems extra bad with this game though.
How come theres no TDM mode?
Its probably the easiest mode to implement.
>>345121343
That's because Genji got nerfed before release, and no matter how OP you actuatly still are (which Genji isnt) no one will say you're OP until a pro play picks the character in a tournament and stomps with him/her
And thus, they get nerfed again because devs are retarded and listen to sheep parroting ideas.

>>345122065
"If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid."
>>345122380
It's ridiculous how wide the matchmaking gap is, the system doesn't want you to wait so it just throws people in even if they are 20 levels below you. Whenever I do get a game of all 68-80 players its an amazing experience, everyone knows what to do and it's always a fun game. After that I go straight into one with rank 55-63 players, most of which who main DPS heroes and have no idea how to play anything else, and it's a complete shitshow where no one wants to listen and no one will switch to useful heroes.
Why the fuck do I have to lose 90% of a level when I wasn't the problem? Can the system not see that this piece of shit literally only plays Tracer for 250 hours and we lost because he was terrible?

the bond you sometimes form with another team member as mercy can be amazing sometimes
I had a round where I mostly pocketed a roadhogand yes I did keep the rest of the team healedand we fucking tore ass. He let me build my ult on his giant missing health by not using his self heal, and when he'd hook people I'd swap to damage boost so he could blow them the fuck away
each time he died I had a revive ready so I would bring him and another person back up the second he died too thanks to him letting me build my ult
god that was a good match

i can't wake up.
I don't play overshill, but in similar games like TF2, or dota, pretty much any game where faggots try to install a 'meta' and force people to play certain roles, I will REGULARLY pick a hero which is considered that role, then refuse to perform it.
I do this solely to piss off niggers who are so garbage that they need someone to be their support bitch.
I do it in WoW to. I play a hybrid class and refuse to play anything other than the spec I enjoy, which is DPS. I bet you can guess which class it is.
Healing is a bitch role. If you enjoy healing, you are literally a submissive bitch. Tanking is not a bitch role, but it requires a certain amount of masochism to enjoy being a punching bag. Neither of these things are for me, nor most people. The VAST majority of people prefer DPS because that's whats actually fun. Doesn't help that 'tanking' and 'healing' tend to be low-skill activities too, though this varies from game to game.
TL;DR Fuck healing, fuck tanking to a lesser degree.

Playing Mercy with a team that doesn't give a fuck about you getting your shit pushed in is one of the must infuriating experiences in this game.

CPU: Core 2 Duo
GPU: ATI Radeon 4800 HD
8 Gigs of Ram
W7 64 bit
I guess I might be lucky? I used to be able to play TF2 with 60 FPS maxed out, but then they changed something and it became a slideshow. In all honestly, I believe it might just be that ATI stopped updating the driver.
>>345127910
how is he top ranked.
that's not how you play genji. you don't jump around.
the right mindset is blending into their ranks and forcing them to chase you.
What's good hero for starters? Because I don't believe I can just go with Mercy all the time.
>>345128612
it has a lot more to do with your playstyle than anything. if you enjoy something, you're going to play better.
what do you want to do?
>>345128612
76, Rein, Reaper, Lucio and Junkrat are all really easy to play while being extremely effective.
>>345128791
Smack some shit and be aggressive.
>>345128791
I usually adapted to whatever was necessary.
If there were none of the, I would usually go Engie or Meic for support.
If it needed offense, Soldier or Demo.
If I could, I would play my main Pyro, but not so much head on as an an annoyance that would use fire as attrition. Get in. Deal as much damage as possible, and then run.

Reaper's your man.

Reinhardt if you can occasionally help your team with a shield.
With Ana being in the game soon slapping shit is Reinhardts specialty.

You get nothing for winning. No check in the mail, no blowjob from that girl you like, no pat on the back from your dad.
I get my kicks by geometrically shooting niggas around corners and RYUU GA WAGA TEKI WO KURAUing the enemy team off the point.

How is this even an ult when you are so extremely weakened while having it out? How are you supposed to kill anything at all?

You only get +150 from a gold medal, since you're probably dumb enough to not know that either.
>>345125302
Because that good offensive skill on a class that will help the team more is better than getting kills
daily reminder that if you find shit teammates its 100% your fault for having a shit mmr
if you really think you're underranked pick genji/reaper/soldier and just carry, if you can't, then you deserve to play with bad people because you suck too
>>345130493
i usually do but i'm a much better mei, tracer, or symetria and i offer much more to my team by playing them.

>>345131094
If your team's support is garbage and no one will swap to the 2nd support slot (despite double support being by far the best composition possible) it's up to you to cover for it. Believe it or not, you'll be contributing a lot more by healing your team than getting your K:D up. You just don't get flashy applauses from the game for saving your teammates from near-death.
Genji is the most vexing motherfucker. He can reflect/dash escape from McCree so long as he has full health, and because he's jumping everywhere Roadhog winds up hooking him to his side or behind half the time and can't finish the job. The high interp and constant animation transitions into double jump, wall climb etc. make his movement path really janky and hard to click on. And once he goes EUGENE OK OK you know he's about to run a train dashing and slashing starting with your Mercy and there's fuck all you can do about it.
The only counter to a good Genji is two Winstons, and they still won't be fast enough to stop him from getting 2 people with his Q.

Hang back and beat Tanks up, have a buddy chase the likes of Tracer and Reaper away from you.
Straight up avoid snipers since your center of mass is your the only target they have.
Ans save Transcendence for when someone pops an Ult, it counters nearly everything so as long as you don't get pushed away. Can even outheal Genjis big stick when everyone sticks with you.
>>345126454

This. People think I don't wanna play Medic because the class is boring. It's actually because it'll turn the game into a one-sided steamroll that wastes everyone's time.
>>345126804
Being Healer is the most thankless job in existence. Not only do you have the most responsibility but when everything goes tits up (be it your fault or not), you get the blame.
In OW you pretty much have to play with friends, I've found. Playing with pubs seems more or less impossible most of the time.
>>345125605
he's not wrong though
>>345131485
Discord Orb the highest priority target and get shots on them yourself for a shit-ton of dommage in addition to your team having their hand held on who to aim at. Harmony orb whoever needs heals and otherwise keep it on whoever can use it the best such as a tank and keep them in your LoS. Stick with the team. Also, only pick him if you already have another support. He can't keep up heals by himself but his ability to debuff the enemy as well as act as a backup concentrated heal is exceptionally underrated and underappreciated. Your ult is an exceptional pushing tool and also counters nearly anything that isn't a huge burst of DPS, and can also save your own ass as a panic button if necessary.

Don't play him as a support. Zenyatta is a long range assassin that can heal.

I have 8 hours on Zenyatta because of this. Everyone slam picks their main before the word go and I'm left having to play support. And since I refuse to be a Mercy-cuck my only options are Zen and Lucio. I've been picking Lucio more until Zen is buffed though.

I wouldn't say that, he just has a very different support role than most others. His healing is a secondary objective rather than a primary one, his main focus is to make your team effectively do 50% extra damage while you yourself also rain down hell.

MMR is fucked in a game like this since unlike DotA for example, you can't just take on an entire team by yourself by playing better. You can play extremely well and still lose because the other 5 guys on your team are worthless.
>>345132575
In myshortcompetitive career so far, I've seen only one case where I got put in sudden death offense in a non-KotH map and won. And that only happened because of a spontaneous fit of well coordinated teamwork.
>>345132978
holy shit, you can just leave with no repercussions? what a fucking blunder
I think I'd have a lot more fun with Overwatch if it didn't sell so much. So many of the people I match up with must be actual children, like 12 years old or under. Everyone just picks an assault class and goes for kills. I can only enjoy my time playing if it's with 3 other friends and we actively communicate.
And I really do try to communicate, i hop in the team voice chat and all.
It sold too much and too many casuals play for now. I logged in 50 hours, but I'm putting Overmeme on hold until it dies down when schools start up again.
>>345130436
>>it's friends list with people of different skill levels come together to lose episode

This so fucking much. When someone is so assblasted there's no healer when I already picked, and if I'm the last to pick I always choose what we need, then I just let them stew about it and refuse to switch. Even if it costs us the game, nobody wants to give those assholes the benefit of switching for them, they can always switch themselves if it's so important.

I just started playing Zarya every game because you can keep yourself and the morons who refuse to switch to more helpful characters alive and the shittier they are the better you are at murdering everyone and collecting all the commendations. Legitimately the only character that can carry absolute potatoes of human beings.

Why.
>>345134661
widowmaker is great at killing ana though
>>345134829
Not if they can't aim, like most widowmakers
>>345112551
>not maining tank or support
I do so just because of shitters that always want to be the special DPS. Little do they realize I'm the one carrying them.
>>345134687
Because they had the same thing done to them and it hurt their feelings so now they feel the need to do it to other people.
Okay, so I played the game for the first time just now, as Mercy in a practice AI match.
I couldn't even tell whether my team was human or not. I'm not even sure they could tell I was human.
I think I do need to upgrade my PC though. It's a bit too much of a cluster fuck.
>>345134658
I feel like Zarya is better for Attack while Roadhog is better for Defense.
>>345126068
>he doesn't main carry dazzle
>Play Mercy
>Heal Rein and 76 who are in a middle of a firefight

Torb players are the worst
>>345135317
Zarya's alot better at keeping your team alive though. Even if they're bad at the game you still need them to win
>>345112551
This legit never happens. Every game I'm in has at least one or more tank and a lucio/mercy player. I don't even have to play as the tank/healer
>>345134661
Widowmaker can work on offense on certain maps. But you can't just sit back and try to snipe people. You have to be tossing your mine into groups and spider manning about using your assault rifle mode and snipe from the point as they run back. Offensive Widow is fun as fuck once you l2p, but unfortunately if your team is garbage it's 100% worthless. I love playing her but I'd never go offensive Widow in comp unless I was in a 6 stack
>>345134687
To make scrubs like you mad and nerdrage on /v/ :^)
>>345112551
Lucibro is literally the best character in the game though
fresh OC for you guys.
>>345125023
>play Mercy for literally the first time a couple weeks back
>get 14 eliminations and a gold medal simply from defending myself against flankers while getting ignored by my team
Playing her really makes you notice how shitty your team is.
I guess that goes for support classes in most games but I never play support anyway so i'm not used to it.
>play support

>watch as the entire team falls apart 5 second later
literally every fucking time
and then I see the enemy team doing just fine with their Mercy fucking off for half the match.

This.
On competitive you almost never GET to pick healer/tank. Especially now that it's 1 per hero (or will be soon) and you can't pick them too just to stress you intend on playing it.
