Because they release the hero and then the game is different for a week before they nerf it returning the game into what it was before they came out.

we need a latino overwatch toon

Sombra is right there senpai

Sombra and Reaper, amigo

At least doomfist had a bit of novelty

Sombra and Doomfist have unique enough mechanics and playstyle, its just not implemented or balanced that well right now, Sombra's design is also decent enough, but yeah is been a lot of disappointments. They've seriously run dry of ideas.

unrealistic overdesinged characters. Ana looks as a soldier sniper meanwhile everyone else besides doomfist (Who's overall look is unpractical) uses flashy colors

>toon

Most of them have better designs in the artbook. Newest character somehow messed up the story/timeline of the game and every hero seems to get a nerf after a few weeks, so no one bothers with them.

Moira is pretty good in 3v3 and CTF.

Moira should have really just been the labcoat look instead of making her look like a freakazoid with bane tubes.

>tuuuuuubes

Blizzard's Overwatch dev team are literally Metroid space pirates.

Hardly a disappointment

was unironically excited for this game since anouncement.
what went so wrong.

>He doesn't enjoy Orisa
I TOLD YOU TO STOP RESISTING

>Sup Forums literally cannot stop talking about every single thing Overwatch does

They release a new character to change the tide of the meta, and them nerf them out of the meta immediately so the game stays the exact same as it was before they were added.

I believe Ana was the only one to come in and actually do what she was intended to do, and she was fun. She required good aiming skill for a healer.

Orisa is easily the best hero in the game from a design perspective, coming ahead just barely over lucio only because of his constant nerfs.

If you dislike her then you have no idea what you're talking about.

your first mistake was believing blizzard could make a good game

>people still pretend that Sup Forums isn't casual central
I couldn't tell you how many overshit threads reach 250+ replies

Sombra my friend

what
she's literally just an amalgam of other heroes' abilities

>tfw you will never be on a somber trip to your old hometown browsing the internet in the dark in a motel out in the middle of the desert seeing Blizzard finally made a new IP and watching the clean, sleek and quiet character introduction videos back when they had no views and the only complaints were the FOV being low and the guns being too big again.
>tfw all it turned out to be is a mediocre and boring pile of trash with crappy character design that will never live up to its full potential.

We will never get another character like roadhog or rein again are we? No more whacky overdesigned characters with a good theme. I guess doomfist was close but they had to ruin it with the dindu nothing instead of just making him an omnicron

Look at that roster, 5 fucking females, 3 muh diversity. Latest one is so fucking boring, it could have been a normal person who just grabbed a random war suit. When will the waifu pandering stop?

when are we gonna get more new male heroes?

It is so easy to come up with ideas. Just look at marvel or some crap. Make a poison hero, or one around radiation.

No, you're going to keep getting pandering whacky females. This is what you get for playing overwatch

Because the players just go online and bitch and moan and complain about whoever is new being too good (Remember when Doomfist came out and his right click was too good and people bitched his mobility was broken? Now no one plays him.) and instead of learning to counter, they'll go and whine to daddy Jeff to hit the new kid with the nerf as hard as possible.

I just want him to make it to the game, why can't we have a cool character like him?

overwatch is shit

>We
Not all of us have shit taste, you fucking subhuman.

Her abilities effectively balance team play and personal skill over any other heroes her abilities are based off of.

Most characters are either team players or "get shit done" types, Orisa and Lucio are both huge team players that can get shit done .

sombra is good as of the latest patch though
it took a very long time but she's finally good
moira is fine
orisa is fine but she just isn't very fun to play
doomfist needs work
haven't played as bridge yet

damn reading skills senpai.

bananabot was alright
but yeah no they have not managed to make another straight up good and interesting hero since ana, she's the best one so far

Riot
>New character is completely overpowered for the first week so everyone buys him/her
Valve
>New character is equally powerful to Dota 1's version, everyone gets destroyed by him/her because no one knows how to deal with it except veterans
Blizzard
>New character is garbage and stays garbage

She's a Reinhardt-light mixed with Lucio and a sprinkle of Torb. Rally is built for divecomps and if she hurts someone with her flail then she'll receive some health and her teammates around her receive health too.

Yea on PTR I have been having fun playing her but I lose like every match because I suck at attack.
I think I’ll start trying to get better at it again. I almost got masters last season but I have pretty much just played support. I tense up during a fight when I play DPS but not when I play support so it’s largely a psychological thing I think. Tensing the arm makes accurate tracking harder. Doesn’t help that DPS get blamed even when stuff isn’t there fault. Even as a healer I see that a lot

In reference to sombra
Their*
I haven’t gotten to play Brigitte in anything but no limits which gets lame fast

>Ana was neat because it was a new way of healing. only thing that bothered me was that she was a sniper that couldnt take any tactical position from above like Hanzo or Widow can.
>Sombra was really fun to play as but the ARG took too long for a character that has to work SO HARD just to win. the build up just didnt help.
>Orisa was a weird one to play, but offered some good defense. She needs some buffs though.
>Doomfist was exactly what i wanted him to be... and then he got fucking gutted worse than roadhog. All they needed to do was fix the hitbox but they fucked that up HARD. Coming from fighting games this was the most fun character to play. Wish they would just fix him.
>Moira was something the overwatch community was crying over since the beginning BEGGING for more healers/supports. She's pretty decent when it comes to heals, and plays pretty unique. With some tweaks she would be perfect honestly.

And i don't know shit about Briggete. She seems like the kind of character i'd play though. Too bad i sold Overwatch. It was just getting too boring for me, and the team that balances the game doesn't seem to actually want to listen to the fans, almost making it feel like they have their head shoved up their ass.

Just so much other shit too like unjust bans (Banning people for not picking Meta heroes/ for not talking to the team or having a mic in comp/ for sending multiple reports of someone who was clearly onetricking etc.) and the over all feeling they put off whenever someone WHO ACTUALLY PLAYS THE GAME criticises it or suggests something.

i'll probably get this game again once its lower than 20$, but otherwise its just not worth my time for a team shooter that has no real balancing.

Overwatch is funny because it causes fucking meltdowns.

youtube.com/watch?v=43LSNeG7DfI

And a new character just means more meltdowns because any slight change in the meta causes people to lose their fucking mind.

moira's problem is her character design is unappealing, they tried too hard to make her look 'interesting' and ended up with someone who looks strange, angular and ugly
her gameplay is fine, she's one of the most fun supports in the game

This
Why is ana best grandma 2bh? Every other hero feels gimmicky, but ana just brings a lot of unique utility to the game. Of course blizzard spergs out and makes her useless.

>Implying the heroes weren't shit from the beggining.
Kill yourself Blizzcuck.

NEVER

EVER

EVER

Actually they had a perfect design for her in concept art where she was just Mercy with Short red hair. Instead of a halo she had "horns".

But just like bliz, they gotta ruin everything.

Well, I understand why they changed it from that seeing as they already used that concept for the Imp Mercy skin.
Still, they tried to do a female David Bowie and failed miserably. She looks like a tranny on the crystal treatment.

>Yeah.

Unironically this.

The only non female supports we have, are a robot and a brazilian manlet.

Why couldn't we finally receive the front line support, Braum tier hero this game deserves. At this point they must keep making waifu tier characters to keep the game relevant.

Pisses me off.

>We want more mommies

>toon

This. It would probably make her silhouette stand out more on top of that.

But Brigitte is a front line support?

Only Moira and Brigitte have been disappointing to me.
Moira's kit doesnt synthesize with itself very well, and Brigitte's introduces no new tech while not filling a new role really anyways

When jetpack cat tho.

moira's kit is great nigga
you just gotta vanish to the backlines and attack supports with orb and your main attack, vanish back to your team and do some healing, rinse and repeat
ult is best used to hit as much as you can at the same time, but mainly use it for healing

>day 647
>still no Mama Hong

Why is PTR a thing and why do they dump new content there?
Its meant to be a place to test new characters and maps and look for bugs and do fine tuning on them but Blizz then release them with no changes and people always complain about broken hitboxes and overall broken as shit abilities.
Is it possible to be so incompetent that the devs cant balance shit before release?

>no rashi
>no huntress
>no bruiser
>no iris
>no firestarter
>no praetor
>no pheonix
they have all these great character designs and yet they put shit like this in the game
i still cant believe she fucking naruto runs

Its all minorities and ugly women. Im never buying another blizzard game again after d3 and this

He means a man

>brit gets to pick between a support or attack mech
I get why they didn't go with this but it would be neat still

The third option looks like their ults.

Doomfist is fun as fuck in Free for all

The most reddit gif ive seen all day desu

>Ana
Perfect character. Nothing cheap and all skill based.
>Orisa
Very underrated tank. Let down by bad character design and dogshit useless ultimate ability.
>Sombra
Recent update has made her pretty good. Character design is meh and her voice actress is awful.
>Doomfist
Character design and name do not mix. The Vegemite of the Overwatch community.
>Moira
Literally take out the auto lock on her right click ability and she would perfect. Aside from her character design obviously.
>Brigette
Stupid name and stupid design, which is a shame because the CGI short version of her was a qt 3.14

Ana
>excellent healer with high skill ceiling and awesome abilities that can affect the fight greatly if played correctly or wiff without coordination

Orisa
>large and tanky tank that can cause cc, ignore cc, and has reasonable damage output

Sombra
>situational hacker that can debilitate teams if coordinated with or do absolutely nothing

Doomfist
>definition of a fun but bad character

Moira
>awesome healer who is highly mobile and has great healing capabilities with competent resource management (besides the nails I dont care about her character design. I actually kind of like the tubes)

Once the buff for sombra settles, we’ll see what happens with her. Overall though, I think all the characters are actually pretty good at the role they are in except for doomfist who is genuinely terrible (except that first week).

>we got Mei instead of frost
fucking diversity quotas

Moira is great and Orisa is a strong asset (although boring to play)

>he's upset we got thick goddess

>we got Doomfist instead of Psyblade

I mean each of her individual abilities is solid but they don't really work together as a whole that well.
Her orb is a remote technique, and she doesnt have a lot of burst damage with her primary, her vanish is good for escapes or dives or engages but it just doesnt work well with a character that cant burst well.
Her ult is okay but it just doesnt fill a role in terms of anti-ults or anything.

I wasn't saying her kit was bad, but what I've liked about the other new heroes (Doomfist, Ana, Orisa, Sombra) is that there was a lot of internal synergy with their kits that created interesting play styles. Moira's abilities work well individually but they never really play off each other. Compare that to Orisa's kit, which doesnt really have any new tech or elements but it does use existing pieces to create a unique playstyle and part of the meta
>Her primary is pretty weak on its own but has a moderate rate of fire and high ammo and no real drop off
>her alt is timed graviton pull
>she can put up a shield that protects from multiple angles that allows her to keep firing
>she can resist knockback and general damage
>so she plays like a long range tank that can keep pressure high and poke enemies, using her pull to bring enemies from around corners back or pull close-range enemies away from her
>her shield lets her fire while being defended, but she deals such little damage that it's mainly about deterring you from engaging than just killing you outright

Compare that to Moira where none of her abilities really mix together that well. There's a real feeling of Oil and Water with Moira's kit: each ability is good in its own context but her primary doesnt lead into or work off of her other abilities.

I get a similar feeling from Brigitte, and what's worse is she has no new tech like Moira's orb

>all those omnic designs
>there are two in game
How do you fuck this up so hard?

All that said, I still want some kind of insipidly cute and saccharine Mahou Shoujo character; one who is a French/European weeaboo who speaks in broken Japanese, that the rest of the cast fucking despises (especially Genji and Hanzo).

frost looks like a destiny character

...

Italian Weeaboo fashion designer
What accent does Japanese sound the worst in? Italian, Spanish or French?

Well you did enter an overwatch thread. It's pretty much a quarantine zone for them

soundquake when

Because every new character aside from ana, sombra and maybe Doomfist have basically been just a lazy combination of two other characters. Also the only hyped new character was Doomfist and they dropped the ball hard on him

All those designs are pretty good minus Moira and Orisa.

AND Don't you dare insult Brigitte. She is cute and tough and everything good in this world.

>no mcCloud
overwatch needs a pure melee hero instead of Reinhardt's pseudo-melee

brigitte has a shitty design both aesthetically and mechanically. She's the designated not-mercy hero for girl gamers to play and still do okay with even while playing awfully.

>he isn't manly enough to play zenyatta on the front lines
pussy

I don't play OW but I liked what I saw of Tojborn's daughter. I'd like to see more melee frontline healers in future games.

I wished it had stayed an MMO to replace WOW.

I've heard Japanese has similar phonemes to Portuguese so Spaniards (of those three groups) are probably the best at imitating spoken Japanese; the French are big weeaboos if nothing else, which is why I suggested the character herself be French for authenticity (unless you want to make it a trap or something for the extra level of obnoxiousness, which given Astolfo was a crossdressing French Paladin in legend isn't a bad idea). Italy though? Japs love Italy, but I don't think the cultures are linked beyond that.

The only reason we've gotten so many female characters is because the cast was mostly male at launch. Right now it evens out to a 50/50 spread if you don't count Bastion.

>This QT
>Shit design
What a bad opinion.

And Moira is the non-mercy support. I've only played her on PTR, but she plays nothing like Mercy or Moira. You actually need to click on red outlines instead of blue ones. She isn't very mechanically intensive, but either is Winston and he is one of the best heroes in the game.

Get rid of the ugly armor and she would be fine. That armor is tacky as hell and belongs in Burch's game that i can't remember the name of right now.

>overwatch needs a pure melee hero
Holy fuck this.

I'm tired of the cocktease of it too

>Aw sick, a cyborg ninja! I can't wait to slice niggas u-
>lolshurikens are primary fire, sword is ult only

>Oh shit is that mothercuking Doomfi-
>lol gimped shotguns, also better learn to run like a bitch because all of doomfists attacks are also his only means of escaping

If years and years of shit management by Blizzard didn't teach you anything, then you only have yourself to blame.

The game was never going to be good, its a very pretty shooter and that's it, its popularity baffles me, as a competitive game its a complete and utter failure.

The armor doesn't look too bad IMO. Although I was hoping she would have a salvaged and heavily modified crusader suit instead.

>I wished it had stayed an MMO to replace WOW.
I wish it had stayed an MMO to fill the void City of Heroes left behind

>Every single scientist person is female, except Torbjorn (who is SWEDEN YES, so is even more female than actual females despite the beard) and Winston, who isn't human
ok

Scientists are notorious for loving dick, so it makes sense to make them female.

>let me project my own insecurities about gender politics into a shit video game
fuck off back to tumblr where whining about representation belongs

Overwatch has quite possibly the worst ranking system of all time and anyone who defends it is objectively wrong

Why are mei, bastion, and torbjorn still so shit?
Wait nevermind, I know why
