"2-2-2 pls"

>"2-2-2 pls"
>picks Genji as the 4th dps

Why does this keep happening?

If you don't play DPS you are a cuck, I would much rather have control over the match as a DPS.

because you're in plat

>trying to force a meta in this shit game

it doesnt matter who u are in this shit

You're not to have much luck doing that in a team of 6 dps when you have healers, meatbags and shields on the other side.

>It doesn't matter if you win or lose just have fun
Really makes you think. Thanks for the input.

Its more simple than that. If you play Overwatch you're a cuck. Being so dependant on other people is so anti-fun concept when it comes to video games. Only acceptable if its a co-op with your friend or something.

>being this anti social

bro tanks are arguably just as good, if not better, than DPS in the getting kills department. The only time this changes is during ultimates.

If you play a team game with that sort of lone wolf mentality you must be some kind of moron. There are plenty of deathmatch shooters where you can 1v1 everyone, this isn't that game.

He is the only one that has somewhat fun movement.

He clearly gave your team an order to play 2 tanks and 2 healers while he's one of the DPS, duh.

What these games should do, in PUG play, is manage team composition a bit. X amount of DPS picked? Remaining choices are restricted to tank/healer etc. Everyone gets the chance to "choose first" on some type of rotation. Less frustration and variance in results due to team composition and more exposure to different characters/play styles.

Because Genji is le cool character

It's the Ken effect where the LCD of a games player base all just play the same fucker really badly

the game gives absolutely no incentive to play the bitch classes of tank or healer
big surprise. people want to get kills in the shooter, and they made the dps the most independent class to boot, instead of being glass cannons that require support like they probably should be.

the game is just poorly designed but everyone will blame the community for naturally wanting to have the most fun.
also the game is design around flexing but punishes you for flexing by having sr gain/loss based around your character stats in a match. good fucking job blizz

>let's force a stagnant meta by making sure nobody comes up with any unique strategies that might involve something other than the same 6 fucking heroes every match

Not him but open your eyes. Look what happens what you make games like that. You get WoW's community, LoL's community, OW's community. It's not antisocial to want online games that don't function like the average McJob, complete with high school-tier drama, people going at each other's throats over minor slights, and constant one-upping so everyone can hide their own perceived inadequacies.
If you play games solo or co-op with friends, now you can just stomp on any whiny asshole you run into or just leave him alone. Kind of like how you can ignore people who bother you on the street or some other public place IRL.

4th dps

It'd be nice if they had a system like in WoW where you have to choose your role before listing and you get matched into a balanced team.
No doubt the dps would implode with entitlement from the length of the Genji queue if that happened as they do in WoW because so many want to play things like mage and hunter instead of the actual roles in demand.

Yeah and 2 of the other 3 didn't follow his order. Was your team just that bad at listening?

support > dps > tank > dps > hammond support > queen likely dps or a tank/dps hybrid

>"Can we not have X hero please?"

I am fucking telling you all right now, it's always the Genji main faggots.

If not Genji, then Hanzo. Most of them seem to be children as well, I'm not sure what it is about those two that 12 year olds love so much.

Yea but if its a Zen or Winston who sucks dick its fine and you ignore it.

>people ITT actually complaining about Genji
How does it feel to be below Grandmaster?

It doesn't happen very often. People who pick tanks and healers tend to have more awareness of the team dynamic in the game.
People who pick Genji and Hanzo do so because they think its the best way to get gold medals for themselves.

>japanese cyborg ninja who yells naruto shit and kills everyone with a katana
>japanese archer who can randomly kill half the cast by spamming arrows at an opening

I mean it's kinda obvious why they're popular.

anyone who tells me what to pick gets the opposite of what they wanted

>12 year old hanzo main detected
Maybe if that happened every single match like it does with genji and hanzo and I'd be here complaining about them too

>people ITT actually playing a Blizzard game
How does it feel to be below subhuman?

It's mostly children playing Roadhog, Bastion and Hanzo when you think about it.

>Easiest characters to get kills with
>Have the most simple set ups
>Usually just sit in one place, don't even have to worry about flanking
>All three have wonky attack hitboxes, allowing super easy kills

I think you should not kill yourself

>He actually plays competitve

what a bitch

This whole thread is about competitive. Who would even care what anyone picks in quickplay?

>Implying anything is better than graviton
It's so good that you're guaranteed a team wipe if you have a Hanzo/Doomfist/Pharah/Half the cast unless they pop trancendance.

>Go in game
>2 DPS locked already
>Fuck it fine, I want to win i'll tank for once
>DPS do fucking nothing all game
>"This is what happens when I let randoms do the DPS"

>literally no genji/hanzo mains in FFA
>ffa was supposed remove the cancer but all it did was remove all the actual decent dps players

Guys how do I get good? Widowmaker always manages to make me cum buckets/instant rock hard. Every time I see a Widowmaker picked on my time I have to look at her ass. Shit is memorizing

Because Genji is OP and the other 3 dps were picking trash characters and should just switch to heal instead.

This is the reason why winston has become so popular.

>not getting most kills while healing

The problem is when all your team go 5 DPS and expect that you heal them across the fucking map, for experience, people who insyalovk genji/Hanzo are really shitty players, go solo versus 3 or 4 enemies and die, and of course, it's healers fault.

dps fags fucked off from roadhog now that the instagib hook is gone
no plays bastion for ez kills because he even easiest killed himself

Being a dd only matters on koth maps, where dd is the most important role (because the objective is literally about killing)

On escort maps I found tanks to be much more impactful (as both sides)

On assault maps idk I just torb on defense and winston on attack because it's a garbage mode anyway

Fucking FFA.
>Pick Ana
>Consistently get 2nd place

You'll run into some Hanzos in FFA.
There's usually some faggot picking D.VA, Roadhog, Junkrat or Bastion though.

user the reason the game is shit is because it's almost 100% meta with very very low mechanical requirements

If you're not running nu-deathball (lol doomfist making dive worthless after two all-dive seasons) you lose.

>also the game is design around flexing but punishes you for flexing by having sr gain/loss based around your character stats in a match. good fucking job blizz
It's not raw score, it's score-per-minute compared to other players in your MMR on that character.

>If you're not running nu-deathball (lol doomfist making dive worthless after two all-dive seasons) you lose.
>doomfist
>making dive useless
You do realize dive is still top tier right? I'm assuming you haven't played this game in a while.

>Zarya as solo tank
>in diamond
Wow, people weren't kidding when they said the good players left and the shit is rising

>You do realize dive is still top tier right?
Then why is high diamond and master and GM so filled with Orisas and zero Winstons?

It's because Doomfist fucks dive comp sideways

It's actually pretty funny because Doomfist being so effective against dive means people generally don't run it anymore, which means people have no incentive to use Doomfist.

This really isn't true. There are so many games where bad tanks are putting your team at a disadvantage before the fight even breaks out, but DPS will usually take the blame.

Take a Winston who dives headfirst into enemy lines every time, without any consideration for timing or context. If the enemy team aren't potatoes they will clean him up and mop up the rest. And your team will never be able to push properly. Not every time, the Winston may even get a kill. He'll be sitting on gold elims and silver damage and wonder, along with the rest of the team, why the DPS aren't doing their jobs. But he's making their jobs harder. Bad tank (and healer) performances are often masked, while DPS can be good enough to carry the team if the rest of the team is actually functioning, but it isn't and your shitty Winston is screaming down the mic about his medals so the whole team loses faith in the dps.

People who don't understand the roles piss me off more than anything. I like playing Zarya but I always get paired with other tanks who play so meekly that they might as well not be tanking at all. Like Reins who don't understand that they need to be IN FRONT OF THE GODDAMN TEAM. The annoying shit about this game is that not only do player's preferred roles vary wildly, but their dispositions do moreso. Having teams where half the team is ultra passive and the other half ultra aggressive is frustrating as hell.

>Then why is high diamond and master and GM so filled with Orisas and zero Winstons?
>It's actually pretty funny because Doomfist being so effective against dive means people generally don't run it anymore
Do you live in some kind of alternate universe or something?

>he plays trash games

Low Diamond here.

Dive is fucking everywhere, there's a Winston every game.

Attack on Hanamura before diamond is fucking miserable

People are too afraid to go through the damned door so they just keep giving the defense time to respawn from picks and recharge abilities/ults.

yeah but a guy that plays 10 different heroes depending on the team comp is going to be worse at hanzo than that hanzo main that does nothing but learn hanzo
its a deeply flawed system that rewards instalocking and never switching because all you got to do is be better than average and you will win compared to the team mates you are dragging down with you

All the good players got bored and moved on, GM is now masters, masters is now diamond, etc.

You were playing low gold.

Tournament play is not Comp

>yeah but a guy that plays 10 different heroes depending on the team comp is going to be worse at hanzo than that hanzo main that does nothing but learn hanzo
No?

The skill ceiling in this game is remarkably low. Someone good at 10 different heroes likely is good at them because he already has mechanical skill at or near the ceiling.

I see this all the time and I don't get it. People saying shit like "How are you so good at McCree you only have 10 hours!?!?" Overwatch isn't the first shooter to exist.

>spamming arrows
>not spamming literal logs

I wasn't even talking about tournament play, this alternate universe where everyone plays Orisa and Doomfist dominates the meta doesn't even exist.

>memes from beta
how about you do one better and spout memes that never had any truth like tick rate

The criticism doesn't make any sense since the player who switches to what is required by the team will have a better SR and win more games than the guy who plays Hanzo in every situation since there will be many where that's not beneficial to winning the game.

Genji is the unholy cocktail of sniper mains, weebs and overentitled DPS garnished with a teratoma. Quickplay or competitive, I already know it's gonna be one of those matches when the second the hero select screen pops up he's instalocked.

They would never do that since their whole design philosophy is that you can switch heroes mid game. Also how would this work when the meta is not 2-2-2 like with triple tank? Locking down the meta with such a small hero pool is a bad idea.

seems you haven't played the game
oh and watching your big bro dosent count pleb

Yeah, i'm sure the update that came a few months back and reverted the change didn't actually exist.

>hanzo and widowmaker
>on attack

Have you guys ever seen this actually work?

*Looks in your general direction*
*Presses E*
*Shoots you in the foot and you die*

Pshhhhhhh nothen personnel, Kid

Overwatch would actually good if there weren't any healers.

because nobody has to go by your shitter rules?

people can play whatever the fuck they want you dumb silver surfer.

>Overwatch would be good if it was a generic deathmatch shooty game instead of Overwatch
They made a containment mode just for you where you can 1v1

Out of the 100 hours I played, there was only one time where I saw a Zenyatta and Widowmaker combo on attack that actually worked.
The match was over in 5 minutes.
Never saw a Widow + Hanzo match that didn't end up with an easy win for the other team.

>mfw getting 30% off one scatter arrow

>sniping Mcree out of his high noon as Widow

>shitters cry the Bastion rework made him too strong, gets nerfed almost immediately

>shitters cry that D.Vas defense matrix is "oppresive", gets nerfed
>shitters cry that 'Hog's one-shot combo is "unfair", takes a while but he finally gets nerfed
>meanwhile, shitters have been crying for months that they can't deal with Pharah, and nothing has happened so far

Is Pharah Kaplan's waifu?

Doomfists hitbox was clearly broken, why would anyone complain with that?

Just putting characters that are designed around 6v6 into a deathmatch doesnt suddenly fix the problems in their design.

2-2-2 was the meta like 4 seasons ago. Get with the times grandpa. It's the 5 dps and a Lucio world now.

Team based comp isn't a problem, it sounds like you're playing the wrong game.

The problem is easily fixed if they add a new hero who can effectively shoot a moving target from long range.

If he's sitting on gold elims after jumping in and dying like garbage, your team is fucking retarded.

As a woman and a Mercy main, fundamentally changing a character is unacceptable, and an ultimate is what a character is fundamentally built around. The reason I played so much Mercy was the thrill of zipping around, keeping everyone topped off, and the cold sweat of maintaining the ultimate while staying alive, judging the precise right moment to use it. With this thrill gone, and its replacement merely being her shift ability on steroids, I'll likely drop the game entirely.

who cares

>You were playing low gold.
What does that make actual low gold? Or bronze?

To be fair though, there's probably a marked statistical difference between Pharah play in general and all those other things.

Pharah does everything she's intended to do, and all her strengths come with passive weaknesses. Her only real major issue is her suicidal ult.

Arrows at launch were "log-sized" because of a combination of large arrow hitboxes and massive player hitboxes

arrow hitboxes are smaller than they were (though larger than after first patch) and player hitboxes are WAY WAY smaller than they were.

>playing anything other than mystery heroes
Cmon Sup Forums, you're better than this

>and the cold sweat of maintaining the ultimate while staying alive, judging the precise right moment to use it

As a male Mercy main (yes, we do exist), I am glad that shit is gone.

90% of the times I have Rez ready, I have to beg for the retards on my team to all die fighting in the point together and make the enemy team waste their ults, and be ignored as they all die spread out and angry because I can't heal each one of them at the same time.

dude im a hanzo main hes op needs nerf

Roadhog's ult is fucking garbage, but beyond that why aren't you moving up through the ranks with one of the best characters in the game Sup Forums?

>>Can heal 300HP every 8 seconds so you don't have to worry about your healers being retarded
That's tiny, user. TTK in this game is fucking instant outside of pharmacy.

too accurate. fuck.

Are you really that stupid? I pity your poor teammates that had to bear with some retard flailing around with no idea of what he was doing.

Learn to aim babby. You can OHKO most people in the game if you get a headshot.
