Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

or just play dva

Fuck I can't catch a break tonight. 3 losses and I think the worst was someone telling me (Lucio) or the Ana to switch off "Because we have a Sombra and we don't need 3 supports" ...fucking what? I have heard a lot of retarded shit but calling Sombra a support? That's just...

[Diomer]

._. I clawed up to 2450 SR from 2100 after placements, 4 losses in a row and womp, 2250 again. Mostly to Pharah. Honestly, the meta mostly feels like "Whoever's team can deal with Pharah, wins." At this point, I'm almost hoping that people go Sombra to hack her so she can't fly. Hacking isn't hard, but like freaking no one can kill her. McCree/Soldier DPS with a Zen and Ana? Pharah owns the sky.

Even the most average of Pharah is going to dominate lower ranks because their hit scan counterparts simply lack the skill to kill them. Pharah starts to disappear as you climb the ladder though and she's generally replaced by Genji or Tracer.

Seriously play D.va. D.Va destroys Pharah. She chases her and can kill her faster then Pharah can kill D.Va and if she has a Mercy? Then you're keeping their biggest healer and dps busy while you're team turns their team into ground meat.

My favorite so far today "Nah, Mei is basically a tank, and Reaper has a ton of health."

[Corrderio]

"They have 3 tanks, we need a reaper"

Yeah cause Reaper was present during triple tank meta...

[shukudai]

I just had two teamed-up DPS. We're pushing 2nd point, we've trickled, we're spamming Group Up / Voice Coms.... the two teamed up DPS went in 2v6, got raped. We waited for them, they went and flanked far, far away from our own team, got destroyed again, Reaper's like "WHERE ARE YOU FUCK YOU ALL SUCK" and voice coms explodes on him lol. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Like, they would've had to A) Be out of voice coms B) Not see 4 people spamming "Group Up!" C) Not hear the hero lines for "Group Up" and also required them to literally look at 6 people standing on a point, and go "Yeah, this seems like a good idea." ... twice. Then yell at the healers (and i wasnt even a healer that time XD)

"They have 3 tanks, we need a reaper"

Depends on the tanks. If they don't have a Dva you're golden, or if they have a Winston harassing your back line (which is more a psychological battle lol)

Reapers always been good, just painfully situation, like old symettra. Dva just eats his uses if she's good.

[Corrderio]

I think they had Zarya/Rein/Winston?

[Elcura]

Reaper would be a great pick into that, the fact that they have Winston is enough reason to pick him especially if he's doing work. Reaper makes even the simple act of jumping in difficult.

Winston/D.Va combo is a different story, shit would probably destroy Reaper and anything caught in the dive.

[synistar]

I for one can't wait til Reaper changes hit live. There definitely needs to be more anti-tank stuff other than Mei or Pharamercy.

And a McCree + Reaper shits on any dive comp as long as they stay together.

Winston still slaughtered us with a Reaper sadly

[Elcura]

Not impossible, bad match ups aren't always a loss if you play carefully enough. Sounds like you had a bum party.

[Corrderio]

It was still a good game. Both if us got the payload to tbe point. They just rolled us at the time attack part.

Sadly my best game that night out of my 5 lose streak that dumped me back in gold.

[Nitsuki]

Went 7-3 in placements, ended up 2116, only cuz i barely play comp and forget about it. But my friend and i are gonna work to diamond. Sadly we went 3-2-1 last night so i ended up with a 2163 so far. Lost 50sr combined with the 2 losses.

The one draw was fucking stupid, kings row attack, could not cap the first point because our dps was weeb squad 101 (hanzo/genji), they then said they weren't to blame when i was silver heals, and gold elims/dmg as zen. We went defense, and facerolled the opposing team and didn't let them cap. But we coulda won that if the dps didn't throw.

One loss i remember well, it was cuz we didn't adapt after going 2-0 on oasis, and had a fulltime junkrat that refused to switch, didn't even join voice comms, actually did nothing to counter anyone.

[Corrderio]

We're not too far off

[Corrderio]

So now that Blizzard tweeted that the dance emotes will only come from anniversary boxes (Since the icon next to them on the emote menu wasn't enough of a giveaway...) the OF is out for blood.

[shukudai]

Are the dance emotes that rare/expensive? Like, I'd say most people can do 5-6 heros at most, and you'll probably earn 2-3, buy 2-3, done. I do play more than most, and I've been flooded with the dance emotes from lootboxes.

[Corrderio]

Thy're 750 credits. So not that expensive.

[synistar]

The biggest issue with the event boxes - Dupes give you crap returns for the true currency cost of the items. Event dupes should give triple currency for compensation. Why should you get screwed for a dupe legendary (200 currency) when it costs 3x as much to purchase in the first place.

On that note, dupe event tracer skin was met with a frown.
