Obligatory Overwatch thread for Blizzard Hegemony

If I ever both get a computer and Overwatch I shall become a Bastion main.

That way I can both harvest an endless supply of salt and get play of the game evury time.

I think that dream may be beyond you unless you get a new computer in the next month or so.

Also, I find myself liking Soldier 76 a lot even if he is kind of vanilla, since his kit is strong and versatile enough that you're rarely in a position where you have absolutely no options. This may or may not also be due to the fact that every weeb and 13 year-old on the server autolocks flankers like Genji and Reaper as soon as the round starts, though.

Had an absolutely terrible night. First time I actually got pissed off with this game... I've been doing just fine for nearly two weeks.

I'm not even sure how many games I played tonight. Too many to count. But it was fucking terrible... game after game was a loss. I know the old saying - if you smell shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your own shoes. I'll be the first to admit that when I'm playing LoL, we suck because I suck. But that's the worst part... I only performed badly in maybe four or five games total. The rest I actually performed pretty damn well in! Because I'm not shit at Overwatch. And it didn't matter. I kept consistently getting teammates who didn't want to defend the objective or didn't stand in the point. God that's the fucking worst. Hey, instead of fighting outside of the capture point, how about you stand inside of the goddamn point and fight there if you have to?

Too many people have been more focused on getting kills than actually trying to accomplish whatever objective is at hand, tanks like to run off on their own to try and solokill enemies without backup (or a healer), and time after time tonight I just kept getting matched up with those people. I had a few fun games, but almost all of my losses can be attributed to this bullshittery.

Fuck. I needed to rant. It was so maddening. There are some animals even Noah can't carry. And now my overall winrate is fucking embarrassing from it. Like, abysmally bad.

Good Bastion's play the hyper-aggressive style where they're constantly moving to a different position instead of just setting up at one position and eventually getting picked off.

Add RadiantDawn#21907.

This will change once Competitive is released. Climb high enough and you won't see those play patterns anymore. Until then, just try to have fun lol! You don't need to win to enjoy yourself. It's a shooter, shoot some guys.

If you want to win and play moderately competitively, add me Psychic#1897 and we can valiantly attempt to drag that winrate back up.

It also helps that Overwatch is not an RTS and should not be treated as one. The strategy is totally different as you can't leverage victories in the same way to increase your character's power.

~=+=~

Fun fact: Junkrat is actually 6'5".

What's that you say? He doesn't look that big? Well, no. He mostly stands next to Roadhog. Who is 7'3". and 550 lb. eek?

Reinhardt, at 7'4", is the tallest character in the game.

Meanwhile Torbjorn (4'7").

I had to share this one. http://egnarregnar.tumblr.com/post/1...-ruined-my-art

Hi yes I just bought Overwatch I am prepared to be a scrub.

[deoxys]

Anyone who has difficulty with targeting, honestly, just play Winston. Trust me.

[SoS]

PC or console Lit?

[Lil'twick]

PC of course.

Yes that's true but for new players that's not very obvious

Also players do get better the higher up in levels you go. There is hope!

[Ironthunder]

tbh Bastion does sound more like one of those characters where you're better off coming to him after some play time, because he sounds very dependent on how well you know the map.

I have gotten two PotG out of the past three games I have played due to D.Va

Also I'm a dick and emote after I send my ult off so everyone can see me BM in PotG.

[Midgeorge]

outsidr#2774 but I'm on EU.

[Crys]

Something dank for yal D.Va fans.

I just got my first PoTG~

[Sneaze]

Nothing like a full turret tryhard team on Route 66. There's a reason that map is banned in every single tournament.

But hey I denied them PotG by getting it as Mercy. Suck on that, bitches.
