[QUOTE=Doom14;50457083]Widowmaker was a mistake.
Who in their right mind thought that they should add a class that has near impunity to every other class besides itself, gets to whisper her ultimate which also lasts on death, that also has the ability to remove 300HP players out of the game with a single click every 2 seconds from infinite distance, and gets this neat grapple hook to fuck off when surprised?
Every person who parks on Widowmaker for the majority of the match, friend or foe, is going straight to the avoid list from now on. :v:[/QUOTE]
You forgot the fact she has decent mid range/short range with the assault rifle and a trap to weaken anyone who tries to sneak behind her and to warn her she's geting flanked.
I avoided a player for being a toxic asshole then got dumped into his game not two matches later. I wonder if that feature is even switched on at the moment.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does literally nothing at all, but it makes me feel slightly better and vindictive. v:v:v

That's pretty stupid, though. Heaven forbid someone pick Widow in a fitting setting and perform well. You enjoy that hero? Well I don't, off to the brig with ye.
I understand not liking hero insta-locks but let's not be an ass towards literally everyone whoever plays a certain hero in a game with you.
[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;50456963]Dude /r/overwatch is fucking retarded in terms of tickrate. The one side of the tickrate argument just keeps blaming every net-related problem on the ~tickrate~ whereas the other side dismisses all arguments as the former example, and thus more or less successfully invalidating the inherent problem of the lower tickrate.
"hurr durr 20 ticks i got shot after i jumped around a corner, oh whats ping i dont know about that? oh i checked its 100"
"wow you guys are so stupid everyone knows having a higher tickrate wont make a difference!! all the problems wont get fixed and thus raising it wont do any difference"
Now I'm not a game dev but last time I checked tickrate was the amount of times a server updates per second, so at 20 ticks that's like 20 times or whatever. People want it raised to 60? That makes it 60 or whatever.
Let's say you have the occurence of a Tracer recall/blink being cancelled and her being killed as a result, with "no response on the server". That means there's a chance that the shot that kills Tracer and the blink/recall end up at the same tick or whatever. At a tickrate of 20, that means you have 20 ticks where these could clog up. Whereas on a 60 tick that means they're at a 60 tick or what fucking ever
its fucking late and im not fact checking but im very sure this is true just check for yourselves instead of just forming an opinion by reading what other people tell you without a source like come on[/QUOTE]

How is it that enemies who put up Symmetra's turrets in obvious locations always get mega kill streaks against my team for no reason, but I place them hidden in ledges or stuff and they find them immediately

The game is 60 tick, the server to client update rate is 20

I honestly see less and less of Bastion, even when I play solo. He's become more of a speedbump than a roadblock.

I think the joke is more that you get a lot more really shitty PotG's with bastion than any other hero.
[QUOTE=myng;50457028]I've managed to make it to rank 29 as Pharah(on MasterOverwatch.com). But does anyone know how it's organized? Am I in the 29th place for the PC/United States player bracket, 29th in the world or some other combination?[/QUOTE]
You've earned the 29th most points out of people who have used the site for pc-us

It's hard to do when Bastions these days just get shit on and switch.
People really need to start paying attention to where enemy Tracers were 3 seconds ago

But that could be "literally anywhere in the general vicinity"

Or even half way across the map depending on where they came from.
first time i really played junkrat i got 41 eliminations and never again will i get more than 20

It's still useful as a rule. If they panic and hit rewind when they haven't gone that far, knowing where they just were helps.

You can hear where they are and chase them down in that case. I'm talking about people running past my recall point and letting me recall behind them at point blank range.
Of all the things I am prepared for, I was not for this:

For whatever reason, I just cracked up seeing this in spawn.
I had some extra dollar just sitting in my paypal so I bought some loot boxes. Coolest thing I got was a Lucio skin tho.

oh well it's okay I got a little bit more currency and I'm that much closer to getting the Okami Hanzo skin~
Just got overwatch, and a six pack.
Someone (preferably more than one of you fuckers) add me on battle.net so we can play~

It's really refreshing to see Overwatch fanart that's not only good, but also feels like it's building off of the characters' actual personalities to make for fun interactions.
No offense, but the "LOL D.VA IS A GAMER WHO EATS MOUNTAIN DEWRITOS/REAPER IS A NEKO WEEB WHO IS SECRETLY GAY FOR SOLDIER 76/MERCY IS A CHRISTMAS CAKE LESBIAN COUGAR" stuff is getting a bit played out.

[QUOTE=Jarokwa;50457474]every soldier 76 i see is using either the jet skin or the golden skin, i see no love for the superior bone skin[/QUOTE]
I almost bought Bone, but Gold just looks so good.
Black and Yellow will forever be a perfect combo. If Bone was like 25% more Frank Castle-y I'd have gone with that instead.
Got my Ascended skin for Zenyatta then 3 boxes later got Ifrit but after a couple of games I gotta say I think I enjoy the rare skins a lot more than the Legendary skins because the models have so much effort put into them since they're the base models.
Stuff like the bangles seem really thin and cheap around Zenyattas forearms and as cool as it looks in the menu that bright orange is really obnoxious. Also Ascended has that sweet, sweet white/purple/gold mix
Jesus after playing so much of Soldier in TF2 playing Pharah is such as challenge. Pharah's blast radius on her rockets is much smaller and does so little damage, so my natural instinct of "shoot their feet and finish them off with the shotgun" no longer works. I spent like 20 minutes in the training map trying to practice leading my shots on the moving robots but even then I'm not that good. It kinda devolved into just spamming rockets half the time and hoping for a hit.
Not only do I have to lead my shots and have near perfect accuracy, I also have to do this while flying around like an eagle piloting a blimp.
Wonder what they're gonna do about McCree or if they're considering touching Widowmaker. McCree feels like the counter to [I]everything[/I] and Widowmaker is just annoying when her semi-auto spam is just as lethal as in CS:GO.
Also wonder what they've got for D.Va, I doubt they'll change her DPS. Maybe let her run while shooting, or reduce her gigantic critical hitbox.
