Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

[Wulfgang]

We just did a game as 6 Pharahs. Was glorious. Rockets for everyone.

They started countering us near the final checkpoint so one switched to mercy. Won with like 5 mins left.

Pharah is my favorite offensive hero. Once I moved jump to L3 on PS4, I can stay airborne for 80% of the match and still aim reasonably well. Her Concussive Blast is great on maps like Ilios with large hazard zones; I just got a PotG for bouncing two players off the map and then mowing down two others from the air. The game seems to love environmental kills for PotG; every time I get two or more at once it's like guaranteed. Had a number on Lucio.

Great Widowmakers counter her hard though. If I'm facing a great Widow; I'll just change classes.

[Tyrath]

Yeah I just discovered the Ilios thing. Got 5 environmental kills, was great.

GET BACK! GET BACK! GET BACK! GET BACK! GET BACK! GET BACK! GET BACK!

[Corrderio]

few things are more satisfying in this game than hooking a tracer and one shotting her as roadhog

I know, right? It's so satisfying giving a face full of junk bits after a hook.

I wish I could get that lucky with Mei when I manage to hook her. Not sure if I'm aiming too high but she manages to survive and freeze me a good chunk of the time.

[Tyrath]

I don't know, I body slammed the same Mei 4 times in a row as Reinhardt. That was satisfying as fuck.

[Corrderio]

I never did much Reinhardt. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm horrible with him.

Probably has more to do with Mei having 100 more hp than Tracer than any aim problems.

Mei is one of very few heroes in this game that I feel needs a balance change. It's far too easy for her to freeze most other heroes. I wish they'd just make it take longer for the slow on her freeze to ramp up so that people who aren't Tracer/Genji etc have a chance to escape getting stunned.

[BadKarma]

I have been getting such trash teams its not even funny

[TheDirtyHobo]

If a Tracer can't escape a Mei, they're absolute shit. If a Genji can't with their slice up, they're pretty shit too. For whatever reason Genjis love to try and dash through Mei, which just puts them the same distance away, just on the other side. Mei is defensive McCree; do not fucking try to 1v1 them, let them come out and get fucked by crossfire. There is a reason Mei is the least picked in competitive.

[Tyrath]

He said everyone who isn't Mei and Genji can't

[SamanosukeShiva]

Pharah is way more annoying, granted i dont play any sniper class or bastion

[Deftscythe]

Dear Blizzard,

Let me buy skins directly, I will give you money.

Sincerely,
Everybody.

[tyven]

or just put better shit in the lootboxes. why do i need 4 fucking sprays every time i open one

[Deftscythe]

I'm just never going to spend money on the chance of a thing I want. That is some trailer park scratch ticket shit.

[Tyrath]

Yeah I was thinking the same. I've spent hundreds on skins in LoL. But paying for loot boxes? Fuck that noise.

Blizzard knows this and wants you to pay thousands instead as people will do.

[Tyrath]

Blizzard knows this and wants you to pay thousands instead as people will do.

Well I hope they have enough of those people to make up for people like me who won't spend a dime.

[Boyiee]

It's a stupid tax and I'm sure there's more than enough.

[avelle]

I bought 50 boxes because I guess I am one of the stupid people but opening them was almost as addictive as opening hearthstone packs, almost.

This holiday weekend was glorious, I sat on my ass and played a super unhealthy amount of Overwatch and it was amazing. I got to level 43 but still saw people like in their 70s, so crazy.

[tyven]

god all i want is for this work day to be over so i can get home and pwn some noobs
