So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

[Super Kami Dende]

lol she is going to get the shit nerfed out of her

quickplay is literally unplayable if you do not have a brigitte on your team. nerfs you can expect to see: repurposing of shield slam, a mega nerf to rally and maybe even loss of her overheal.

I doubt she will get nerfed too hard. the only people I really see complaining about her are braindead Tracer and Genji Mains who get butthurt they can't just dive backlines and escape all the time now.

I just can't quite figure out what hard counters Brig. You'd think it'd be reaper for the shield but it's not. Her shield bash cancelling any cast ult is pretty big in my opinion since it's such a short CD. And a shield bash should not stop a charging Rein.

Sombra and most people that can bypass barriers easily. I.e Junkrat, Pharah, Sym, Moira. I think she was purposefully put in the game to shake up the Meta. because games get stale and die fast when 1/2 the roster is considered out of Meta.

Keep telling yourself that.

Her Shield Slam is broken as fuck lol, even Flashbang and Hook have travel time and smaller hitboxes. I mean, we have been tolerating hook for a while now because it was one of the only abilities in the game that looked ridiculous when you actually juked it but got fucked. But Shield slam is just absurd. It will literally be an "Esports Ready" meme lol

Season 10 is going to be the "No Skill" Meta if people think it takes no skill to play Genji or Tracer when Genji is a C Tier pick that is borderline unplayable below Diamond lol. He is basically a troll pick, I report Genji players for throwing all the time.

right back at you with your "OMG EVERYONE NEW IS OP"

every post you make is complaining about someone being OP or someone not playing how you want them to. So I generally will give you zero credibility with your opinion.

oh god i want a moria player to sit in the backline and heal and think that hanzo's scatter and his arrows that are the size of a hero's face are fucking bullshit. that's so crazy isn't it?

But that's OK, it's not exactly like I care what someone that gets 9/10 of their shield slams juked by a blink thinks. Pro Tip: wait out the blinks or read the situation and position yourself for the recall instead of trying to beat them to the punch.

People who sit at the end of Retribution just to farm points on Normal need to be slapped with a fish. I've failed a few times now because they'd rather try and up a pointless score.

I was gonna post about this in the thread specifically complaining about idiots who don't immediately head for the dropship, but maybe it will get seen by more people in here:

At the end of the Retribution mission, the number of special enemies continue to increase, including heavy assaults, snipers and, most importantly, assassins. Eventually, you can even have it where there is an assassin for every member of your team. Which potentially means that ALL four of you could be pinned down and ripped to shreds, with no means of getting free. So again, it is the height of stupidity to stick around around once the dropship shows up. You and your whole team WILL DIE eventually, if you stick around for too long. A few extra points are NOT worth failing the whole mission for.

All that being said, I have a bad feeling that the people who need to be aware of this aren't the sort of folk who bother paying attention to such things, whether it's written in the in game chat or on a forum.

Eh, Moira and Sym get eaten alive by Brig. Beams don't go through her shield. In the topic of Sym, she needs to be close which means shield bash to the face and death since she has no escape. I have won Moira v. Brig encounters as Moira by keeping away and tossing orbs into enclosed rooms but it takes a really long time and if they catch up when blink is on CD you're toast. It's basically not worth it.

Symmetra bypasses the shield with her right click.

[NightZero88]

Symmetra bypasses the shield with her right click.

She does but it's slow as heck and so easy to avoid. I mean Rein's attack does as well but if you get hit by it you're pretty bad. And if you're trying to right click to kill a Brig while she's attacking you...well, lets just say if you win that is a bad Brig.

This game has been so trash since OWL dropped. I can't even stand playing it anymore.

The rise of Widow's really bothers me. Most suck though I have seen a few really good ones.

You couldn't stand it before, every single thing you post is complaining about everyone playing and everything in it.

[Gandrake]

At least I was playing it before.

Played 4 matches of comp last night, lost 3 games of control as Reaper when I ha(d)ve an 85% winrate on control arguing with people who are mentally fucking retarded.

It's amazing how "play more widow" is the takeaway from OWL but not "actually kill the enemy team" when all these people do is bitch about the dive meta. they bitch about it so much you'd think they know how to play it, but no. dive meta to these people is getting dicked on by tracer and getting randomly picked off by winston. can you imagine how they would lose their shit to a coordinated DVA and Winston dive?

I had a guy try to play dive as Winston once lullll. Dive to this guy was jumping into 5 people as winston, instantly dying and getting mad about it.

I don't even want to play the game anymore. It's so fucking pointless when you have a retard hanzo/widow on your team trying to snipe through point A and someone else locks tracer when they aren't getting picks and wants to bitch about what anyone else is playing. Like dude you see the fucking shield, it is not breaking, I have created multiple picks and done 6k damage in one round. Why the fuck aren't you swapping?

its like hey welcome to being a fucking retard and being wrong

somwhere out there, there is a blind kid that is better at playing pin the tail on the donkey than 95% of of DPS players are at Overwatch and could probably still 1v1 them as Torbjorn without a turret.

rofl just popped into the game and got a pick off a 1v6 that should have been a triple kill... no one follows up.

Literally 20 seconds into the game i almost get a triple kill that should have been easy to pick up but for the next 20 seconds no one is there to pick it up. This is why I fucking hate this game. Literally fucking unplayable. You can't make this shit up.

LITERALLY RIGHT OUT OF THE GATES LOL DEBATE ME TELL ME WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER. WHY AM I 1v6? WHY THE FUCK IS MY TEAM IN SPAWN FOR 40 SECONDS?

holy shit fuck the retards that play this game

Communicated via mics to your team a gameplan so they are ready to go when you are ready to pwn.

Really should mandate it by law that if a game becomes unplayable due to the amount of griefers/leavers etc then the company should have to refund players.

lmao some of you people I swear.

What? The game is downright unplayable due to griefers and leavers. Just today, 4 games where I lost due to playing 5v6 or 4v6 because of leavers. Yesterday? Lost 3 games due to leavers. Lost 2 games due to griefers yesterday and today I've lost 3. It's like 30-40% games that you lose because of griefers/leavers. They're doing fuck all to remove these people from the game, I've encountered a lot of them in the past as well and reported them but they're still able to play.

So the law should force Blizzard to pay people back because the game is subjectively "unplayable" when in actuality it's perfectly playable.

I still don't grasp how so many of you get affected by these kind of players but then again this is basically the venting when on tilt thread.
