i love playing mercy but playing her in pubs is pain, everybody on the enemy team focuses the shit out of me and i might as well not exist for my team with how much they dont fucking defend me [editline]4th May 2016[/editline] people complain about others not playing support, i think this is the reason why

[QUOTE=Furnost;50257572]i love playing mercy but playing her in pubs is pain, everybody on the enemy team focuses the shit out of me and i might as well not exist for my team with how much they dont fucking defend me[/QUOTE] Literally every game as support. It's kinda Tracer/Mcree/Genjis job to flank and kill healers but it would be nice not to happen every time I spawn. I've seriously had people just look at Tracer and continue on because she isn't attacking them, then she just jumps on me and I melt. It's definitely worse for Mercy though and now that I'm playing semingly better enemies with wores teammates I'm seeing the advantages of going Lucio/Zenyatta. You don't have the pure throughput or clutch life saving capability but you can output some decent (nasty, in Zens case) damage while passively healing people around you and staying mobile. I also prefer both of their ults for being "active" rather than Mercy's reactive ult which only gains in power in the bizarre situations where I'm not being prioritized (ie never).

[QUOTE=Furnost;50257572] people complain about others not playing support, i think this is the reason why[/QUOTE] Honstly? Yes. The last round I played I just switched. Our Genji bitched but I didn't care. I play video games for fun, not healing deaf dumb and blind teammates who refuse to get on the point and providing food to people on the enemy team who can move their mouse and hit W.

-I guess not sorry-

I wonder if there will be a couple more skins released as a day 1 patch There are no good genji legendaries imo

Tracer is absolutely [I]cancerous[/I] when trying to play Mercy.

[QUOTE=Masamune;50257638]Tracer is absolutely [I]cancerous[/I].[/QUOTE] More accurate.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50257636]Or maybe not remove all progress cause it's just cosmetics.[/QUOTE] Matchmaking rating is being cleared. It's pretty typical when a new competitive season comes around. This way everyone starts from the bottom and everyone works their way up from there.

am i the only one getting pretty fucking sick and tired of hearing people bitch about how bad players are in Overwatch? the game hasn't even fucking come out yet and they're already moaning about bad players. do us all a favor and uninstall the game if you're gonna be toxic in an open goddamned beta

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50257311]Symmetra requires the right map and the right composition on your team to do well with. Most the time it's a waste to play her over another support but if you have another support and especially on KOTH maps she is nasty. I just went 18-4 with her today by setting up shop in a room with a healthpack and just going in and out of combat picking off people and when anyone went for me I drew them back into my nest of sentries. Killed the same Genji atleast five times. It is hard to justify playing her tho when no one else on your team is support. I feel like heals are just that important.[/QUOTE] shes really only good (like said in the video) in maps where the defender/attacker has a long long LONG way back to the objective. her turrets are ehhhhh and her gun is even more so. that TP is what makes her or breaks her compared to the other support/defense characters.

I dunno, I haven't done much with her teleporter. I almost never get it before we lose the first phase.

Zenyatta and Mercy are two of my favorite heroes but are p much unplayable some maps because my team just isn't aware.

[QUOTE=FFStudios;50257854] really all it sounds like to me is "[i]wahhhhh i can't have fun because other people are exploring the game and trying new things[/i]" and it sounds ultra-selfish tbh[/QUOTE] What is training mode for anyway

lol seriously, the whole enemy team (or at least a good portion of it) left because they were gonna lose, and it kicked us all out to find a new game. at that point it should just give us the win. didnt even get any exp for that 10 minutes :/

[QUOTE=Oizen;50254753]Speaking of D.Va I really don't understand the point of her out of mech mode. It feels like you're better off dying to get the damn thing back rather than trying to build up the ultimate meter just to get your robot back. I also dont particularly care for her hyper putting her in that shitty out of mech mode.[/QUOTE] pepper hallways and sniping spots with your projectile. it moves slow so you can spam it out and people end up walking into it. People underestimate how much damage the bugger does, ESPECIALLY if you're landing headshots. I'm not sure if it was luck or just the damage output, but several times last night I killed mccrees and reapers with ease in close combat

There better be an onion doll plush for sale, that little squeaky fuck has won over my heart in many a setup times

Is there a way to preload the beta? I don't see anything when I click Overwatch in the bnet client

[QUOTE=General;50257972]Is there a way to preload the beta? I don't see anything when I click Overwatch in the bnet client[/QUOTE] Nope. Everyone needs to download it when it goes live in half an hour. Also i'm gonna plop down my tag if anyone needs a techno black man for support in the NA region TentuZero#1494

bnet is going to be DoS'd

only 14 minutes left if anybody wants to be a total noob with me my battle.net tag is GibusMcHat#1700

Thank god I got into the weekend test so I already have it loaded.

a heads up, they're performing server tests leading up to open beta and it's infuriating as hell

You ever look at something and wonder if it was meant for something else and was re purposed? Take a look at the fancier of the Widowmaker legendary skins, I'm almost positive that her unique rifle model was meant for something completely different initially, as it doesn't match the skin

onlywat.ch counter has stopped, its out :toot:

I feel like for most heroes I like the default skins more than any of the alternate ones.
