Overwatch

How can anyone take this game (the competitive especially) seriously?

It's unbalanced as fuck. So many problems with this game (that has had worse problems in the past) I still have no idea how this even won game of the year.

Junkrat is the perfect example of a broken character that should be nerfed like crazy or just removed from the game entirely.

>His own explosives do not harm him.
>Pharah's does.
>Dies and can still manage to get eliminations because his bombs drop on death.
>Still can kill people with his ultimate even after being killed.
>Characters that should be able to get out of his trap like Reaper, Moira and others can't.

Plenty of other characters have problems and need to be fixed.

I can see just enjoying the game because you think it's fun and accepting that it has problems.

What I can't understand is why something like this would even have a big following for a competitive community.

>almost 2 years old and still triggers Sup Forums
It's the best game Blizzard has ever made

I was gifted this game for free and have gave it a fair chance despite everything I've heard about it.

It's got problems that you just can't ignore.

However, I've noticed the hardcore Overcuck fanboys will defend this game to the death even when the criticism is fair.

Doomfist is another character that needs to be fixed.

Kek.

Then just play it if it's that easy you salty fuck.

People play it for fun

>He's still triggered by Junkrat
How about you git gud?

People can like video games in spite of its flaws.

>that one faggot on tumblr who thinks that Brigitte shouldn't be /fit/ because she has a self-proclaimed love for eating and is related to a short fat person

Faggots don't realize you have to eat big to get big.

>character based on using his own explosives to propel him forward
>is missing an arm and a leg and has robotic prosthetics he replaces regularly
>is shown to canonically use his prosthetic to step on explosives so he doesnt take damage
>the explosives dont damage him

FUCKING THINKING EMOJI

Just jack it to the porn.

Lore doesn't mean jack shit if this game allows Reaper to be trapped by Junkrat's trap.

There is no twisting it, it's just straight bullshit and he needs to be fixed.

>lore is more important than gameplay

Agreed, Junkrat needs to be nerfed

It's hard to aim with Junkrat(compared to every other hero) so it's balanced

The point was being that he had artificial limbs which is why he can't be damaged.

That would be putting lore over gameplay dumbass. Which is why I said if they are gonna go off lore then have Reaper not be effected by it and can easily get out of it.

oh yeah, it's totally hard to aim with splash damage characters

Reaper being stuck by his trap is useless since his smoke form last longer than the trap.

>implying that was the complaint
No you fucking moron, he shouldn't be stuck in the trap if he uses his wraith form in the first place

They need to nerf D.Va or Winston, Junkrat, and Moira

Also give Ana her 80 damage and bring back old fun Hog.

I don't know what people even play at low SR, but GM is going to be raped by Sombra otps for probably 6 months before they decide to fix her. She is 100% busted right now. And keep in mind that they had this shit up on PTR and just decided to push it live despite the complaints.

I main Moira and I can already tell you that she is bullshit.

I'm willing to admit to playing to certain characters because I know they have an advantage. Just some try hard fags won't and will defend their precious broken character till the end.

Which is why I don't see why anyone takes comp seriously with this game.

It's not like it's an actual balanced game.

you just suck at shooting as the easiest rocket class ever

Junkrat can hurt himself with his grenades too, fuckin retard.

>Blizzard
>Balance

Its time to wake up.

They changed that shit a while back, the only way Junkrat can be damaged by his own shit is by having it deflected back by a Genji

I just got done playing the game and used Junkrat.

You are obviously a retard who doesn't know that they changed that.

Funny how you try defending a game you clearly don't play.

when will they remove symmetra

So take away rocket bitches jetpack and stop her self damage

I just dont get hit by my own shit.

Nice reply showing how fuckin bad you are

Torbjorn is fucking jacked though.

No you fucking moron, why take away a feature that is rooted in the Character? It's bullshit Junkrat had his self-damage removed but not others.

You don't need to change a whole cast of characters because you did some bullshit with a broken one, just add his self-damage back, Problem solved.

You implied that he does take damage by exploding himself.

I understand your level of competence with understanding is low but just take your adderall and you should be fine.

Lol keep on keepin on Newfaggot

Says the fag thinking Junkrat damages himself.

>I can't understand why people like things I don't like

Literal autism

>I can see just enjoying the game because you think it's fun and accepting that it has problems.
>What I can't understand is why something like this would even have a big following for a competitive community.
>When you can't read the rest of the fucking post and post anyways thinking you have an actual point to be made,


>I can see just enjoying the game because you think it's fun and accepting that it has problems.

>What I can't understand is why something like this would even have a big following for a competitive community.

Overcuck defense squad right?

There's a reason why Junkrat is always picked in every single rank. If someone were able to get good, along with everyone else "getting good" then Junkrat would be back to to bottom.

But that isn't the case, now is it? Also, they should increase the time it takes to rez a hero.

I played it for a while and enjoyed it, but as I improved I began to get more and more tired of glaring issues that were too hard to ignore.

It just made me miss the glory days of TF2 more than anything.

the game could use more balance patches

>hanzo getting rework

only took them two years

>sombra buff

only took them the entirety of her release

>mei minor buffs

doesn't change her problems

>doomfist fixes

ptr doomfist still has fucked up hit boxes, legit flew past a reinhardt/roadhog, my model went through their center piece, what the fuck are you even doing blizzard.

Absolutely agree

>reaper can't fly during wraith form like in the trailers

>genji can't wall run

>rein is the slowest and boringest thing to play, and if played recklessly forfeits the team fight, he can't just drop the fucking shield and zone enemies with his hammer without putting his whole team in jeopardy

>doomfist can't aim his charge punch vertically or downwards from his uppercut, has to heavily rely on his lame piss cannon for damage

why is this game in perpetual beta testing

Tell me more about reaper's grenade launcher or genji redirecting hanzos ult

It sometimes feels like it. Replies and threads are sometimes too unreal to be true

>Reaper moves too slow for Wraith Form to be a good escape tool
>Teleport is crazy long and telegraphed as hell, only useful for getting to higher ground when no one is around
>Supposed to counter tanks but weapon is useless against armor
>Only redeeming quality is his ult, which can be eaten by DVA who is the most-used hero right now
What a shit character

...

Name one balanced online game and you will find people that will say it's not.

>Disgusting twiggy bitch arms
Ew

His guns should go through armor health and deal double damage against shields. Really makes him dangerous against tanks.

>hellfire shotguns, melts through big targets with no armor or shields that tanks can spam.

...

Mobility is overpowered in all of Blizzard's games they still fuck up balancing it. it's why DVA + Winston + Tracer are so good. Mcree is only good if the enemy team doesnt spam tanks, otherwise his lack of mobility makes him easy as fuck to dive, Reaper, the supposed tank killer can't do shit most of the time. Junkrat is the actual tank killer and has his ult up in 20 seconds of spamming, with a fast as fuck riptire thats almost impossible to hit which still works if he's dead. Genji is actually in a good spot in terms of balance. Mobility gives him way more options but he's not busted like Tracer at Masters or GM.

Also, tanks are stale as fuck to play.

You fucking can redirect hanzos ult, bronze shitter.

stop playing this shit and play a better game like paladins

Chess 3D

>Queen OP over all because "muh strong female characters!"
>Rooks almost useless in plat
Nice try.

t. dumbfuck

That piss cannon is actually the most dps he can do. The punch is his worst skill because it knocks them away from the piss cannon, if it can even connect at all thanks to the terrible hitbox and 0 momentum movement engine. Leave it to Blizz to design a character around a simple concept (super punch) and then make it the weakest part.

>why something like this would even have a big following for a competitive community.
Because blizzard is desperate to make it have one so they force the shit out of it.

get good

Nigga have you never seen a combo? The punch is an instakill

>His own explosives do not harm him.
>Pharah's does
That's fine, because it's two different playstyles. If you're getting close enough to the ground that you can get hit with the explosion from your rocket, than you aren't where you need to be.
>Dies and can still manage to get eliminations because his bombs drop on death.
And it's easy to fucking avoid unless you're fighting literally right on top of him.
>Still can kill people with his ultimate even after being killed.
One of the few things that you've got right. That's fucking stupid.
>Characters that should be able to get out of his trap like Reaper, Moira and others can't.
They can't get out of Zarya's grav either.

link?

I know that lore isn't connected to it, but here's the thing. IT SHOW'S HIM STANDING ON IT IN HIS FUCKING HIGHLIGHT INTRO.

What Ana needs is a passive that when she hits someone or a barrier the needle pierces them/it and can hit a second target for about 2-3m, doing only 50% of the damage/healing/sleep duration of the first hit.

What she also needs is the ability to nano herself during deathmatch.

>overwatch
>"COMPETITIVE" overwatch
>implying it's not just a game where you automatically get sorted in with 5 autistic spergs who have hissy fits over things not being done their way/not getting their favorite hero

>mfw people complain about balance when the developers are more interested in slapping bandaids on the glaring problems killing its population


Just give up and stop playing. Get over the Stockholm Syndrome and move on.

Has two things in common with league:
- good for porn and nothing else
- their devs balance them to get rid of any fun in the game

The game has a handful of characters who are dominating everyone else from day one. If you want to make people pick anyone else you have to buff them on their level.

>game of the year award
There is no "game of the year" award. Some paid sites are telling their "shilled game of the year", but there is no official award for games.

Most if not all gaming """"journalism"""" is dead. Those people are most likely unemployed in the next year and Blizzard has just allowed them to profit from their self created "hype".

Blizzard games after classic WoW are all pretty bad. The only reason people play them are because those games have no competition.

Name me one competitor for Overwatch. There is non.
>TF2
no waifus
>Battleborn
too hard (no Mercy or Sym no aim no brain hero). Alani had a chance to be the waifu, but Battleborn heroes require always aim.
>Lawbreakers
no waifu
>Paladins
Shit graphics and bad game design(heroes and maps are too small) also is now P2W

To kill Overwatch you need a waifu hero shooter game with cute no aim heroes and a competitive with some flashy numbers.

The Overwatch team has also changed to a more "diverse" (no white male gets hired anymore) sjw team. Now would be the perfect time to kill Overwatch, but most big companies are either infested by sjw (which means dead game) or are just not interested in the dying hero shooter market.

>Both teams can pick the same characters as the other
>This alone should mean there's no balance issue
>OMG SO UNBALANCED!!!1!!1

Are you all just actually retarded?

I literally stopped playing due to just the Junkrat buffs. Came back to it recently when I heard Sombra's spread was finally reduced

Moira is retardedly OP

Lucio is Lucio

Mercy is Mery

Ana is fucking lame now and needs a rework

Zen needs something more in his kit.

Game of the year awards are always popularity contests. They aren't about what's 'objectively' the better game

Junkrat is a paradox. It's very hard to learn how to aim with him, but you don't have to.

These things are there because if we starting to exclude characters from effects here and there it could make a character useless. After people started using characters who had some way to escape from the graviton surge (black hole) ult Zarya became useless. They had to change it to disable all movement abilities to make it work as intended.

Zen is insufferable to play because of dive. You'll always have the flanker characters up your ass, who have both an insane movement advantage over you and can choose to just leave the fight if you start to win it. Meanwhile you have the paradox of his ult; it SHOULD be used to counter a genji blade, grav, etc, but it usually just ends up being a deterrent to them and forces people to just focus you. Once you're dead (very easy since he's a big target and slow as fuck), they just pop their ults and wipe everyone else as if you were never there to begin with. So you either try to save it just for those rare moments where you live and can use it vs an ult, leading your team to say "Lol zen u shit, why u never ult?" or you can use it right before the flankers are going to kill you, have your team do literally nothing with it, and then have the big enemy ults wipe you right when it ends, leading to them saying "Lol zen u shit, why you waste ult on nothing?".

And now with Sombra being top pick, Zen is RIP. Dead instantly on every single emp.

>"first person shooter"
>everyone moves super slow
>auto-aim guns and massive projectiles
>"press ult to auto-kill people"
>stuns and crowd control abilities
>dedicated healer role

Even if Zen's weak, Moira offers a very similar playstyle of juggling dps and healing. If anything, it's more fun because both roles are less passive on her. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be bumped up a little, but you can get your Zen fix with Moira.

>Junkrat is the perfect example of a broken character that should be nerfed like crazy or just removed from the game entirely.
I have the same thoughts on Mercy, you can't properly ballance this rock-paper-scissors pile of shit as far as there is 1 healer who can resurrect others.

>tumblr
>overwatch
name more cancerous community

Moira is pretty busted. She can keep a triple/quad tank setup alive really easily, and has almost as good survability as Lucio. She can duel most of the squishies with very little effort.

Junkrat is less obnoxious now than before, but his ult is still too strong. If they're gonna keep the ridiculous speed on it, make it so that it can't turn around so fast and that it is canceled if Junkrat gets killed while using it.

Orisa needs to have the cooldown of her shields increased. It's pointless to shoot at them most of the time.

Sombra buffs are overall good, but her hack speed should be reverted.

>paladins bad game design
This is false
also the game isn't p2w anymore
unbound cards was removed

Your kind is the reason the game can never feel fun. Instead of nerfing strong stuffs, why don't do it indirectly by buffing the things that are weak?

They would need to up the damage on basically everything to do that, which would be very obnoxious and then they would need to buff healers and tanks to keep up and we'd just end up in the same spot.

Nerfing is necessary when something is overtuned, the issue is devs tend to nerf too hard. Also people are really sensitive to nerfs in OW in particular where most of the abilities don't require any skill.

>His own explosives do not harm him.
>Pharah's does.
Should never be a problem since Pharah shouldn't be point blank range anyway.

>There's a reason why Junkrat is always picked in every single rank.
He drops off in higher ranks actually.

>implying knight isn't OP as fuck

Flankers need a fucking nerf

You can redirect Hanzo's ult dummy. get close to him when he ults and you can deflect the arrow before it turns into dragons.

If you have a problem with Junkrat you are just shitter. Don't blame game for that.
