Overwatch General Thread

im supposed to be grounded but im playing anyways if i get caught its worth it cause sombra
 
I love Torb's new buffs so much, so much more fun and helpful to play, maybe people will appreciate him more now!

But he'll always be classed as a troll pick ;_;
 
I couldn't wait to play Sombra today, since I knew the update was coming out today. I was hoping that my Xbox would have started the update while I was at school, but it didn't. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to try out Sombra.

You could have 4 Gold Medals and people will still ***** at you to switch. Same goes with Widowmaker, Hanzo, Symmetra.
 
I'm finding Sombra kind of irritating right now...Not in a Tracer "somebody kill that god damn Tracer!" sort of way, more like a Torbjorn "stop, no, please, don't play as him, I beg of you, I want to win!" sort of way.

At least for console, the winning teams have basically either been the one without Sombra or the one who stops using her first. In quick play I wouldn't really care about losing, but I would have just thought that when you go into competitive mode you don't insta pick the character who's only been in the game for 2 days that you don't know how to use...


I don't see it being as bad on PC because of the PTR, a lot of people on PC have actually played her before the patch went live, but I haven't been given a great first impression, mostly due to other players.

People seem more acceptable with the new Torb, in quickplay atleast.

Well, whenever I play Torb that is.

Nope, it's bad here too, people insta-locking her in competitive and not knowing how to use her properly.

Based in Europe servers though, dunno what American/Asia ones are like.

most people have 0 experience with sombra which is why they're useless, which is a given, but are people for real auto locking her in comp? that's so scary...i need to play a game today too because of skill decay fml
 
Anyone wanna group up for some Arcade/Quick Play this weekend? I'm a bit scared of going comp because I haven't even seen Sombra gameplay yet but we could definitely stomp in quick play.
 
Pretty sick of the whole Soldier/Ana/Roadhog meta in 3v3, It's literally uncounterable.

Right? Most 3v3s aren't even fun because they're just so predictable. The Roadhog/Ana/Soldier combo that you see every game is so stale :| I just want to goof off with my friends there
 
Does anyone want to do some Heroes of the Storm matches for the Oni Genji skin? I have 7/15 done, but don't mind just doing a couple. I really suck at the game so I've been doing vs. AI on easy. Battletag is DesertFox#12365.
 
Next season I'm doing placement matches in a group of 4-6 people. Gold is so terrible, I can't stand it. ;_;

Gotta love the Reaper trying to 1v6 the other team, then I try to speed boost him out, only to have him die and yell at me that I should've been using heal boost and I should never use speed boost because speed boost is terrible. :lemon:

LOL gold is indeed hell. I'm so close to Diamond but dropped again
I've been berated over mic by a 3-man queue when I used speed boost to get us out of a situation. same thing they said to you was said to me. =_=
 
I keep having mood swings on who to get a gold weapon for first...

It's like, omg yes for Winston, then I play rly good with Lucio, omg yes for Lucio but then I play Zen rly well and like...Well you know.

Keeps alternating, it HURTSSSS!!

Decided to remake the poll I did on twitter but include Zen instead, votes would be appreciated!! But knowing me, I'd probably just go Winston anyway since I bet he'll get a skin for Christmas.

Finally bothered to pick up this game. Reminds me of vanilla Team Fortress 2 only much more modern. Particularly enjoy playing D.Va, Soldier 76, Mercy, Reaper, and Reinhardt.
 
Lucio is only meta because they use speedboost, his healing is ****. Especially because they nerfed it lmfao.

Most people I've come across somehow just don't seem to understand how Lucio works at all. Seems like they think he can just top them up on demand like the other three healers...Which is kind of sad when you get a level 200+ legitimately angry and confused to why it's taking so long for Lucio to heal Reinhardt.

Levels might not mean much, but at a certain level, after so much time invested in the game, you expect people to have picked up on the friggin' basics of each character.

I cannot express how happy I am right now, I hope others managed to get a gold weapon!!
 
I was playing with a level 29 Hanzo main today and I knew "oh he's going to be trash."

But then he moved the payload.

A Hanzo main that just bought the game moved the payload.

I've never been so proud of anyone before.
