Who do you main on overwatch?

Who do you main on overwatch?

I don't play Overwatch.

The uninstall wizard.

/thread

I play the character that has 3 buttons to press and doesn't require aim, so all of them

I only play good games.

It annoys the fuck out of me that people "main" characters in a team based game that encourages you to constantly switch characters to adapt to a situation.

Reaper and Mcree

Sup Forums is feeling especially edgy tonight

I main soldier, currently mid diamond from using him and Dva.

>Main
Why?

...

>Sup Forums is feeling especially edgy tonight

Blizzard has been fucking garbage for the better part of a decade now.

gee out of a list of faggots i guess i main the faggoty one

/thread

How are you supposed to main someone? Overwatch is about building a team that works...

>it's edgy to not hate the most shallow, soulless game on the market

Man I really wanted Overwatch to be my go to fps game, but holy shit has it become a stagnating pool of autism and bitches who complain about the slightest thing.

Honestly having more fun with fucking Call of Duty ever since it went on sale than that hot pile of shit that is Overwatch

I have a friend who was insanely better than me at the game a year ago when it came out. I quit a month after release and he's played and is gold frame 4 star.

I started playing a week ago and got to rank 2600 SR. He had a whole year to improve at the game and couldn't break 3500.


Literally, thousands of hours spent on this game to achieve mediocre diamond rank.

Do people just enjoy playing the game this much? Doesn't the anger of solo que cancel out the happiness you get from winning? Is it an addiction cycle?

and may I ask you what you consider to not be shallow and "soulless"?

I don't know why people bother replying to threads just to complain about a game they don't like. You guys are fucking losers lmao.

Who zen here

Here you go.

It has always been a stagnating pool of autism and bitches who complain about the slightest thing.
Blizzard embraced SJW dogma, and the playerbase, to a degree, reflects that. Also, people bitch in every multiplayer game.

>having good taste is edgy now

the one with no skill ceiling

But thats all of them

cheerz luv

>admitting that Overwatch has limitless skill potential

user, those are all 10+ year old games, and yes they are all good. Why is OW "soulless" though, what does that even mean?

>CS anything not being an autism simulator
>DUDE SPRAY PATTERNS

also

>ancient games

move on you jaded fuck

>being this bootyblasted people shitpost on a thread about a shit game
back to plebbit

sorry let me clarify, there is nothing to master in overwatch. there is literally no "getting good".

WInston,Dva,Roadhog
t.cant aim

Sombra.

She needs a slight buff though. EMP needs to go through objects and a small damage boost.

Don't go to the /vg/ general. Literally tumblr there.

so you can get to GM no problem right?
I mean, should be pretty easy considering they haven't mastered anything.

heh, you're right. the skill floor and ceiling are basically the same thing.

>Overwatch
>Skill

Yeah man, it's really fucking hard to press Shift, then left click with road hog, or Pressing E with Genji and just looking in someone's general direction.

Mercy and Lucio. I can't aim at all and shit myself in 1v1 encounters. I've been Master the past three seasons only playing them, so there's that.

Roadhog and Winston

I main whatever the fucking team needs. So usually Ana.

...

I pick widow on every comp, every map and every game mode.
Game is hot garbage.

user, thinking that older fps games did certain things better than Overwatch doesn't automatically make you a jaded autist. Don't be a fucking idiot.

>Install game
>Uninstall game
>"Another game in the bag, fuck yeah"

sure, i'll get 5 people together and steam roll 95% of the population.

Why would I waste my time?
Why would I take it seriously?
Why would I take any fucking videogame that seriously?

The only time I enjoy playing overwatch is when I'm shitfaced and playing quickplay

D.Va, Mercy, Zen, and Rein. I'm trying to learn Zarya, Ana, and Lucio.

Im sure the other 6 stacks will just roll over for you

good luck

>this is the average overwatch player

Since TF2 is only direct comparison that can be made, what did it do better?

>This is how Blizzard panders to Tumblr
Reall... makes you think...

A much higher skill ceiling, for one.

Why do they call is a wizard?

rocket jumping isnt hard

>he thinks rocket jumping is the only mechanic that increases the skill ceiling
LMAO

>implying im implying

Kys my man

Face it, TF2 is a pile of shit and doesnt require near as much skill as you think.

You just described every western game ever made.

Important shit that TF2 did better

*Maps (No emphasis on chokepoints)
*Balance between classes
*Game modes
*Characters (Personalities, Fun to play while still allowing plenty of skill ceiling, easy to pick up and play, hard to master)
*Ballistics, hitscans are top-notch on TF2, OW has NO hitscan (and if it has, it sure as fuck doesnt feel like it because of how floaty and delayed the shooting feels)
*Projectices are very debatable. people still complain about hunstman being lucksman, but compared to Hanzo, Hunstman sniper just feels better. the animation and feel of the weapon have more weight and impact.
*Overall movement of characters feels good. its not float. Every character has its weight and speed. in OW people keep spamming jump in any gunfight to avoid gunfire. This doesnt happen in TF2 since constantly jumping fucks up your movement.
*Has ammo packets. you may not think its important but it actually is. there is a reason why OW was filled with stalemates.

For the lesser important stuff
TF2 did hats better at first. Then the workshop went too far and also made dumb decisions. but at least they kept the playerbase input with community made stuff.
Taunts are funnier.
Co-op mode
Music is way more hype and interesting, All of the TF2 soundtrack is GOAT, the only good overwatch stuff i remember is probably the POTG song, nothing else.
Seasonal Events (TF2 Halloween events were always the best and interesting to look for)
Game-themed events were also great and far more fun than Overwatch custom game you play once.

>say Overwatch takes no skill

So how's GM treating you :^)?

Are you a girl?
Please respond.

>Why is OW "soulless" though, what does that even mean?
Everything about it from its design to its narrative to its mechanics is pure focus testing and demographic calculating. There is no artistic integrity involved with it whatsoever; it's an example of a video game being as western as it gets.

You're right. It doesn't require much skill because anyone can pick up the game and play it, just like Overwatch. However, unlike Overwatch, the base level of character play is not equal to the highest level, excluding genji, hanzo and widow.

spbp

When is the new map releasing?

I love how your argument is totally based on nebulous "feelings."

Don't forget the speed. TF2 feels like you're playing a video game. OW feels like you're pushing a shopping cart around.

>not specialising around your friends picks

Why do you hate teamwork user?

orisa

Not him, but you´re a fucking idiot. stop posting anytime.

Fucking NeoGAF, fucking NEOGAF has a thread that goes into detail about how western games are commercialized garbage and Japanese titles are superior. There is endless data to support this argument.

Sure I guess, OW only has a few descent maps

No secret blizzard is shit at balancing but it isnt as bad as its made out to be

100% subjective

subjective

there is that word again

stalemates end when someone fucks up

literally who cares

so mostly subjective things, then? Also, TF2 has had nearly a decade to balance out and mature, hopefully OW will be when it gets that old as well (if it hasnt been replaced that is)

See

>claim games takes no skill
>"Okay get to the highest skill bracket in the game then if it's so easy"
>W-WHY WOULD I WASTE MY TIME ON THIS GAME!

Really rumbles my gumballs.

>I got placed in gold

its ok user, not everyone is good at vidya

Oh? Then maybe you can help this poor soul understand an intentionally vague argument based on a pointless bias?

I'm really loving this bizarre implication that Japanese games are somehow not insanely commercialized.

It's almost like people don't enjoy playing shit games.

God, you're stupid

Overwatch is filled from top to bottom with binary system mechanics. It makes the game incredibly dull to play and even more boring to watch. The characters/classes you pick are more important to the outcome of the match than you are as a player. You'll never see a player demonstrate a 'style' of play because there isn't enough nuance for anyone to express themselves.

There is a reason why despite 50 gorjillion copies of the game sold the metrics for tournaments are consistently getting worse. Competitively interesting games see stream numbers for tournaments higher than stream numbers for personalities. Stream numbers for Overwatch tournaments are complete dogshit unless Blizzard puts it in the launcher so enough mouthbreathers can accidentally click on it while they try and find the play button. Otherwise streamers like Moon/Seagull dominate because a random voice that is somewhat charismatic is more interesting than the actual game.

tf2 is the reddit/tumblr-core game

fuck off back there if you want to continue shitting on /ourgame/

tracer, lucio and orisa

You're in the minority because the game is very popular, no amount of reeeeeeing on Sup Forums will change that.

Still a retarded statement to say the game takes no skill and yet you can't prove it by getting to a high rank, then using a copout excuse like "WHY WOULD I WASTE MY TIME ON THIS GAME!", while adding another layer or irony by engaging in a thread ABOUT the game.

It's really as if you're too afraid to realise you'd make a fool of yourself if you actually tried climbing ranked in this game.

Oh well keep hiding behind anonymous because you have no backbone to support your opinions like 90% of the people here.

>Overwatch
>/ourgame/
user...

*Overwatch has no decent maps.
*OW Balancing status is deplorable. from 24 heroes only 8 are relevant. the other 16 are completely useless or will result in a loss regardless of your skill.
>Subjective
Dude. the maps on TF2 are CLEARLY superior in design , size and fun-factor.
Game modes are way better executed than OW mostly because of this.
>Characters being better on TF2 is subjective.
They are far more interesting and better developed than "Pixar hero #23", also everyone acting super friendly with each other, no rivarlrien between nobody thats clearly labeled as "EVIL" (Reaper, Widow and thats it.)
>Ballistics being better is subjective.
Dude. go play a round of Widowmaker, then play a round with Sniper on TF2. You´ll see what im talking about.
>There´s that word again
??? You´re not even making a point here.
>Stalemates end when someone fucks up.
Most games before Uprising update ended in a stalemate in OW thanks to the horrid map design and everyone being able to constantly fire with no real disadvantage.
>Subjetive Subjective Subjective.
Cmon now you´re not even trying.
>Who cares about Co-op
A dev who adds actual content and game modes to their game.
Face it, the game is flawed and inferior. and blizzard will do nothing to fix it because the only thing they care about is pandering to normies and tumblrites who dont play the game seriously. and also blizzard wasting money trying to make OW a serious e-sport when they still suffer UNACCEPTABLE issues like the added delay.
I Seriously doubt anything will top TF2 unless valve rises up from the abyss of jewish lazyness and makes TF3 upon this succesful formula.

Oh? Would you like examples of the endless amount of waifubait pandering present in Japanese video games? Maybe those don't count because they're symbols of artistic integrity because they're showing boobies in a video game?

Or, can I just do what you did and say, "There is endless data to support this argument," and then wave off any further responsibility?

>screencapping a post

like I just said

>>>/reddit/

fuck off newfag, you;re really trying way too hard to fit in

D.va, Ana, Lucio, Pharah, Genji

>getting told left and right.
>R-Reddit..!!
You´re embarassing yourself.

I only play QT's which includes Winston

>>>/reddit/

I played for 1 weekend, 2 weeks prior to the end of the season and got to GM

Game is fucking trash. Trashcan maps with shit sightlines and tiny chokes, no movement acceleration, low skill heroes designed to counter high skill heroes(dva, winston, fat piggy), shitty community, and a virtually non-existent esports scene.

It's an objectively bad game with some tiny pockets of fun that don't remotely make it worth my time.

The Overwatch Cycle.

>Seasonal Event comes around
>Log in for free crates, play a few rounds maybe do placement matches
>Get ranked.
>Get bored, abandon game
>Seasonal event comes
>Log in for free crates, play a few rounds
>get bored, abandon game,etc
Rinse and repeat.

Nice game blizz shills.

>implying tumblr trannies and reddit numales wouldn't flip shit at the sight of a nearly completely white all make cast
>projecting this hard because blizzard panders to sjws (see: zarya)
at least own up to how pc and safe ow is.

no one, because I only play Mystery Heroes mode

>find GM profile with similar stars and player icon
>click on his career profile
>type date at all chat and blur out your own name

no one's falling for that

Forgot to cover up your promotion stars.

>low skill heroes designed to counter high skill heroes
The worst part. It's what kills the game for me more than anything else.

>making Overwatch even more of a luck-based RNG nightmare than it already is
shiggy diggy diggy dugaw

Do you just take screncaps of posts on Sup Forums all day? You're not even trying to hide how new you are

lol is GM really that impressive to you that you can't fathom someone on Sup Forums reaching it?

Don't you understand the dynamic between having high skill and low skill heroes / characters in a game?

High skill heroes take longer to master, but their impact is considerably higher when they're played well because they have something like high mobility and outplay potential.

Low skill heroes rely on simple tactics that can be effective, but they don't have many means of outplay or variety because their kits don't allow for it.

A good Tracer or Genji is near uncounterable, especially since Roadhog's shit is about to get slapped.
