08.24.16 | got a bit bored with soldier and reinhardt. only play them if I have to. realised I'm shit with Pharah. my win rate with junkrat is ridiculous considering he's my 2nd most played character (think at 70% he's 2nd behind zenyatta who I've only played 10 minutes which doesn't really count) and he's so much fun to play. been getting better with mccree, reaper, roadhog and mercy lately.

Brostep
08.24.16 | roadhog > everyone else |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | games alright, didn't really like it tbh |
LotusFlower
08.24.16 | by the time i get this game no one will be playing it. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | nah it's gonna be huge for a while |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | yeah its definitely not dying anytime soon. blizzard caters pretty well to their games |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | Fastest selling pc game of all time apparently |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | doesn't surprise me, its just not my style. don't really like class based FPS games |
Tyler.
08.24.16 | I have 25+ hours as dva. |
Kalopsia
08.24.16 | not enough hats, i'll stick with tf2 thanks |
Tyler.
08.24.16 | You're welcome |
betray
08.24.16 | got like 20 something hours on S76
fun game |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | Dva's ult is so annoying. Even with lucio's speed boost I can never escape it. Her dps is pretty shit though so she's fun to kill |
EnyaFangirl
08.24.16 | widowmaker |
Tyler.
08.24.16 | Whatever |
Typhoon24
08.24.16 | most annoying characters: mei and zarya
both incredibly fun to play obv |
Devastator
08.24.16 | They're getting ready to reveal character 23 if the Reddit is any indication. Also game is awesome. |
Maco097
08.24.16 | A.K.A Team Fortress 2 but less funny. |
FearThyEvil
08.24.16 | fun game but it's filled with the most fucking retarded teammates possible. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | "I'll pick the dude with the massive fucking shield and then run in and get killed before I give time for my teammates to spawn and get here" |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | yeah sombra is supposedly coming soon
best game i've played in the last five years tbh, completely nailed what you need in a team-based shooter, and has it's own charm rather than seeming derivative
my most played by far are d.va and pharah, play some zenyatta too |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | what placement did you guys get last comp season?
also hope they keep lucioball alive love that mode |
Tyler.
08.24.16 | At one point I was 64. Then I played when I was very drunk on multiple occasions so I ended on like 56 or 57 |
Shadowmire
08.24.16 | 31 hrs d.va 16 hrs genji |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | ahh cool, i lost two of my placement matches because people quit and we were 4 v 6 so that sucked but ended with 52 |
betray
08.24.16 | i placed 58 and ended up finishing like 45 or something SMFH |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | that sucks lol
really wish i was decent as tracer, but i die in like 2 seconds with her |
Tyler.
08.24.16 | Yeah I hope they tweak that a little because once you drop a few ranks have fun going back up |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | they're doing ranks out of 1000 now aren't they? |
betray
08.24.16 | they did |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | Great game, got 20ish hours in zen, Farrah, Lucio and rein. My faves are the ones I suck at playing unfortunately |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | really wish i was decent as tracer, but i die in like 2 seconds with her [2] |
Tyler.
08.24.16 | 5000 now |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | "what placement did you guys get last comp season?"
only played like 15 games including the placement ones and ended up at 51
tracer is hard as hell to play. equal to the snipers in how shit I am at playing them |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | I only ever pick tracer if the defending team camps at the spawn point to draw them back so my team can advance. if I actually try fighting with her I will die. even genji is easier IMO |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | ended up getting 58 highest in the end, but I only played like 50 matches, if I played more I'd have probably gone down a tonne haha |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | anyone know when the new map is getting added? I can't be bothered to get PTR |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | they haven't announced it yet, though people are thinking it'll be when season 2 drops, so mid September. I wouldnt be surprised if they released all the buffs and nerds, the Rein skins and the new map earlier than that though, at least on PC. |
PurpleDino
08.24.16 | love this game but don't have my own console
junkrat and hanzo are my go to heroes, nothing more satisfying than getting some sick bow and arrow multikills |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | hanzo responsibly |
PurpleDino
08.24.16 | and yeah there are far too many players on this game who just don't seem to understand that it's objective based |
trve
08.24.16 | memewatch |
DinosaurJones
08.24.16 | Still haven't picked this up yet. Still debating whether to get it on PS4 or PC. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | PCs probably best if you've got good enough specs. Updates get pushed out faster, you get access to the PTR and the in game chat system is better. Im stuck here with my PS4 as my PC is too shit |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | is torbjorn still op as all hell on PS4? |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | nah he finally got the nerf they were talking about (20% turret damage reduction or something) so now he's basically never played, which is good imo |
Final Origin
08.24.16 | The biggest annoyance for me is when you are on the defending team, you always get someone who clings onto Genji or Reaper because they can't use anyone else, such one dimensional players.
My best characters are Tracer, Widowmaker, Roadhog and Ana. I like to use any type of character though I am not fussed. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | "The biggest annoyance for me is when you are on the defending team, you always get someone who clings onto Genji or Reaper because they can't use anyone else"
I dont mind that so much in quick play, but yeah in competitive its frustrating when people don't hero switch when required. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | systemrequirementslab.com said I didn't have the minimum specs but it runs fine on my gaming laptop on basic settings with texture detail at 75%, which is all you need IMO.
torbjorn is such a bitch character. at least play bastion. I once played against a team of 6 torbjorns and it was a joke
"The biggest annoyance for me is when you are on the defending team, you always get someone who clings onto Genji or Reaper because they can't use anyone else"
people that play bastion on control maps are worse. at least with those characters you can flank the enemy from behind and disrupt their attack. bastion on ilios is useless |
PurpleDino
08.24.16 | "at least with those characters you can flank the enemy from behind and disrupt their attack"
the amount of times I've been in a situation where my team just keeps going down the middle and getting slaughtered and I'm the only one who is trying to flank... |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | I find it funny when I see tracers and genjis running down the center of the map and then a flanking Reinhardt pops out of nowhere |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | yeah so many people that don't get this isn't Halo. it's fun learning how to use each character to their best of their abilities. that's probably why I picked this up quite easily even though my aiming skills are relatively poor |
Final Origin
08.24.16 | Yeah I meant on Competitive Play when people use Genji or Reaper, not fussed when on Quick Play as you can practice on there. People just don't know how to defend properly and decide to rush out and leave the base/payload exposed. A laughable one is choosing Tracer while defending, using a character with 150HP while defending is just silly.
Yeah Bastion on a control map....that's unspeakable. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | Yeah love the amount of thought that the game requires, like hero countering, team comp, and the sheer depth of some of the characters. Problem that I have is I like playing about 2 thirds of all the characters fairly frequently, so I haven't really got great with any of them (bar zenyatta) |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | if anyone wants to add me my battletag on pc is mutik#21338. I'm still p average although not bad with lucio and junkrat (both by far my strongest). only really play in europe though otherwise my ping would suffer an aneurysm |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | fish i'll add you up |
ConcubinaryCode
08.24.16 | I love this game but I wish I was better with some of the characters. So far I can be consistently good with support and tanks. My psn ID is MyOwnKillingMoon if anyone wants to add me so we can dominate though. |
Final Origin
08.24.16 | Looking forward to Season 2 a lot, I did incredibly well in Season 1 but the ranking was a bit unfair. I dropped from 63 to 55 in a matter of couple of days even though I was getting gold/silver medals all the time in a losing team. Hope Season 2 reflects hard work more generously this time round. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | apparently supports get fucked over in the ranking as well which would bug me as a Lucio main |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | really depends on the support from what i heard, mercy players were getting screwed hard apparently |
JizzInMyPants
08.24.16 | This game is kind of genius, like every characters plays differently which makes it seems kind like a different game depending on what you are playing. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | lol just played temple of anubis on attack. some guy picks torbjorn and I tell him to change. I get told to let it go cos it's quickplay. check his profile and he has 95 out of 132 hours on torbjorn. 2nd is lucio at 13 hours. come on |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | yes we lost |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | haha well quickplay is basically fuck about mode anyway so i dont tend to care what people do
new brawl is pretty good, it's made me realise that i'm actually a decent tracer when i want to be |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | Yeah it's quite fun. Been using mccree and reaper and doing decently. What good brawls have there been before? |
Final Origin
08.24.16 | Yeah, give up on players who just stick to one character anarchistfish, they don't know any other way to play. |
Sinternet
08.24.16 | lucioball is def my favourite so far
soldier with 100 hp was good too
forgotten a lot but the worst was mercy and pharah, where it took ages to finish and it was basically hover in the air for as long as you can whilst trying to airshot the others |
JizzInMyPants
08.24.16 | the best brawl is the random heroes and that should be a permanent mode. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | Lúcio ball just made me wanna go back to playing rocket league |
DinosaurJones
08.24.16 | fuuuuuck, I love Rocket League. I haven't played that in weeks |
demigod!
08.24.16 | Who #teambastion here? Loved his short too |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | fuuuuuck, I love Rocket League. I haven't played that in weeks [2]
|
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | Bastion is only good on certain maps and if the opposition is relatively weak |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.16 | yeah, i only use bastion in defence as a surprise for like 1 minute/life, can get some good value that way and then switch to something else |
Willie
08.24.16 | I use Pharah or Mercy mostly. I'll use Reinhart if no one else is a tank character so I can camp on the movable objective. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | he can be good if you reposition him often so it's always a surprise attack. I like doing it on Hollywood |
Rolling Girl
08.24.16 | Getting pocket healed as Reinhardt is a fucking blessing, you're unstoppable.
I also love McCree but I'm so bad at using his ult. |
Devastator
08.24.16 | What do you guys play on, PC I assume for the most part but I assume some people play on console. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | PC
"I also love McCree but I'm so bad at using his ult."
same. you have to flank so as to surprise the enemy |
NastyCrab
08.24.16 | I do really well as soldier and he works well for lone-wolf players (which I usually am). being able to self-heal, sprint, and flank while having decent range and high dps is pretty great. |
trve
08.24.16 | 3/10 thread expected more overused memes |
DinosaurJones
08.24.16 | I haven't seen any Overwatch memes. Maybe because I haven't played the game?
Porn though. I've seen a LOT of Overwatch porn. |
Typhoon24
08.24.16 | PC and i use a big ass mouse pad. didn't think it would help so much.
"Porn though. I've seen a LOT of Overwatch porn." [2] |
Willie
08.24.16 | I play on the Xbox One. No PC games for me (except Kerbal Space Station... guilty pleasure).
I fucking hate Tracer. She is easily the most annoying character in the game... followed by RoadHog's hook.
--Dva's ult is so annoying. Even with lucio's speed boost I can never escape it.--
Reinhart's shield will protect you and anyone behind you. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | i haven't seen any overwatch porn. wtf are you guys typing into your search bars?
yeah tracer is a pain in the arse. mei can foad too |
Willie
08.24.16 | --i haven't seen any overwatch porn. wtf are you guys typing into your search bars?--
'Overwatch Porn' seems to be a pretty reliable search term. Typing the name of a certain character followed by the word 'nude' works too. Also, if you read certain list sites like Cracked, it comes up from time to time.
-- yeah tracer is a pain in the arse. mei can foad too--
Oh yeah. If you don't have some sort of ranged weapon, she'll fuck you up every time. Worse is running down a lane about to kill someone and suddenly your character just stops responding, then you die... and only during the replay do you realize that bitch had been chasing you. |
sempiturtle
08.24.16 | This is my GOTY so far, and probably the only online FPS I've truly liked since Halo 3.
My favorite character in general is either Tracer or Mercy, but the hero I play the best as is D.Va. My winrate with her is something like 60% and my elims per life is around 4.6 |
Willie
08.24.16 | Not enough people use Mercy. A good Mercy player can totally change a game. Fuck Tracer and anyone that is good with her ;)
This is definitely my favorite online FPS since Battlefield Bad Company 2's online portion. |
sempiturtle
08.24.16 | Mercy is actually severely underpowered right now compared to both Zenyatta and Lucio, but luckily her healing is getting buffed in the next patch, as well as Lucio's speed boost and Zenyatta's discord orb getting nerfed. |
PurpleDino
08.24.16 | yeah I ain't seen any Overwatch porn either but I'm kinda interested now lol
also considering buying this for my mac because I love it and don't have a console/can't afford one, is that possible/would I need to get a mouse instead ofusing the trackpad? |
Chortles
08.24.16 | yes using a trackpad for an fps sounds like a great idea |
sempiturtle
08.24.16 | You'd need a mouse but you can get a USB mouse for like 7 dollars. and idk how well a mac would run the game. |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | using a trackpad for an fps is like using a block of cheddar cheese as a steering wheel |
Willie
08.24.16 | Basically, the only way to play Overwatch on a Mac is to install Windows. That's not a smartass answer, it's just not available natively. If you game on your laptop or do any kind of admin work, it's worth it to dual-boot between MacOS and Windows anyway. |
PurpleDino
08.24.16 | yeah I assumed I'd need the mouse, but allow installing windows |
Devastator
08.24.16 | Holy shit they are going in deep with this Sombra shit. They've got Twitter accounts in on it. |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | lol fish |

08.24.16 | mac ugh
but yea at least get a decent laser mouse cos otherwise u'll be gettin r0ck3d |
PurpleDino
08.24.16 | nah from the sounds of it I just won't bother, not about to install windows |
KILL
08.24.16 | just buy a cheap pc cos its better and you can go back and play max payne and half life |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | half life [2]
anyone who's never played through that game is honestly missing out on a cultural landmark |
KILL
08.24.16 | same for max payne
bro |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | not on the same level but yea |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | half life is old tho |

08.24.16 | u got me there |
TheSpaceMan
08.24.16 | black mesa looks and plays better than overwatch |
parksungjoon
08.24.16 | half life 1, max payne 1+2, deus ex, unreal, strife, system shock |

08.24.16 | missed out on the original system shock cos i was too young but 2 omg |
Shadowmire
08.24.16 | black mesa was real fun agreed |
anarchistfish
08.24.16 | tbf i played Kotor for the first time like a year ago and it was awesome
might buy black mesa when it's cheaper and i'm not broke |
anarchistfish
08.25.16 | getting 75% xp leaver penalties atm just cos my ping is shit and it keeps kicking me before I can connect to a game.. |
Willie
08.25.16 | That sucks, but there has to be a way to try to punish these bitches that legitimately rage quit. I personally think that if more than half your team quits and you finish out the match you shouldn't be penalized at all. |
anarchistfish
08.25.16 | I don't really get why it punishes you for leaving quick play at all tbh. especially since they're usually replaced immediately |
AsleepInTheBack
08.25.16 | It made sense before competitive was introduced, but now it seems excessive |
Willie
08.25.16 | Oh. Yeah, it shouldn't really punish for Quickplay. |
PurpleDino
08.26.16 | "just buy a cheap pc cos its better and you can go back and play max payne and half life"
yeah nah, I'd rather get a console |
sempiturtle
08.26.16 | "yeah nah, I'd rather get a console"
wtf why. |
PurpleDino
08.26.16 | because I already have a computer, why would I buy another computer |
sempiturtle
08.26.16 | A console is a computer with a different, more restricted operating system... I still don't see your point? I myself have a laptop and a desktop. |
anarchistfish
08.27.16 | lol^
I was just playing and this is the kinda thing which really bugs me. We're on watchpoint gibraltar attack and this reaper thinks he's hot shit cos he gets potg even though I barely saw him near the payload once the whole game (I was reinhardt). Whatever, guy got a lot of kills, flanking and all that, gg. Next game he plays as reaper again on Nepal. Enemy team has a fucking bastion. I think no probs, we have our mvp reaper who can easily destroy that. I tell him on the 2nd objective to deal with it, ignores it and we lost the objective. 3rd objective exactly the same thing and we lose the match. I tell him dude as reaper you should get the bastion, that's the strategy. Starts getting all butthurt and defensive, "oh yeah rich to blame me" etc even though I'd been telling him for half the game. |
Sinternet
08.27.16 | reaper mains are pretty much the bottom of the barrel when it comes to overwatch players |

PurpleDino
08.27.16 | "A console is a computer with a different, more restricted operating system... I still don't see your point? I myself have a laptop and a desktop."
yeah but I'm friends with normal people so they all have consoles, and 'I myself' don't feel the need for a laptop and a desktop |
sempiturtle
08.27.16 | Well you shoulda said that man, of course console is the better option if your friends are on it. |
Calc
08.27.16 | i'm for penalizing quitting early multiple times because I think they are trying to stop a precedent being set. consistent penalizing for leaving early even in quick play games will deter more people from quitting in comp than no penalty at all. near the end of the season people were quitting left and right for anything and that literally completely ruins the game for the 5 man team. |
anarchistfish
08.27.16 | i just discovered ana |
sempiturtle
08.27.16 | Ana is fun but I think Zenyatta is better with his ability to heal from long range, do damage himself, and provide a substantial damage boost. |
Sinternet
08.27.16 | hardly anyone plays her outside of comp
she's incredibly annoying |
Sinternet
08.27.16 | also i swear her ult charges so quick |
anarchistfish
08.27.16 | you know how much I like playing annoying heroes |
Calc
08.27.16 | people who play her in comp lose frequently |
anarchistfish
08.27.16 | Anyone else wanna party up this is my tag mutik#21338. Main as junkrat and lúcio mostly but I try heroes from each class |
Tyler.
08.27.16 | Ana is shit tier. Tbh. You're usually better off playing someone else imo |
sempiturtle
08.27.16 | Ana has the fastest healing per second in the game and is viable on certain maps, but Lucio and Zen are overall better. Ana is good as the second healer, since 2 is basically required. |
PurpleDino
08.27.16 | Lucio is my fave support hero by far |
jtenders
08.27.16 | 15+ hours as Genji. So close to first prestige I really want that star under my name c: |
Tyler.
08.27.16 | If you want a second healer plan zenyatta. Idk maybe its the people I play with on the reg because someone always has to pick ana and it's pretty much never helpful |
anarchistfish
08.27.16 | zen's getting nerfed though |
Typhoon24
08.28.16 | some 12 yr old kid with an australian accent playing widowmaker in dorado attack just told our entire team to lick his asshole |
Typhoon24
08.28.16 | i think ana is fine in quickplay assuming you get a cat that can aim decently. she can quickscope (widowmaker cant), has a good aoe heal for escorting payloads, and a lot of non-competitive teams cant handle a boosted reaper ult or soldier 76 in a push.
competitive yeah, i dont think she would be better than lucio/zenya/mercy unless she's changed |
sempiturtle
08.28.16 | A lot of people don't seem to realize that if you're scoped in as Ana your teammates hitboxes are as big as the huge triangle on your scope, you don't actually have to hit them dead on. |
anarchistfish
08.28.16 | yah. no scoping with her really isn't even that hard either. the impression I get from her is that the difficulty lies in positioning and knowing when and how to use her abilities
On another note it made me laugh how much people on reddit were bitching about how they couldn't buy the skins they wanted and would end up spending shit tons of money on loot boxes all while complaining that it doesn't guarantee them anything. Like no shit, that was never meant to be the point of them. Skins and loot boxes are just these cool, sometimes limited edition things like in the case of the olympics (whose skins were mostly awful tbh) that add superficially to the game and the fact you can't always guarantee that you'll get some of them just makes them a bit cooler and more valuable. It's not like you can't unlock the regular items you want either, even supposed legendaries. You can't even see your skin when you're playing. |

AsleepInTheBack
09.09.16 | You guys enjoying competitive season 2? I'm try harding so much its loosing its fun, and the placement matches seem to put everyone in gold/plat and so matches range from facing players way above my level to those that clearly have no clue. |
Final Origin
09.09.16 | The thing with competitive is that when you are losing games constantly (for me 3-4 times), just stop playing the mode. You will only get frustrated and start hating it, take a break from it and come back fresh.
Unfortunately when I am not partying up with anyone and try solo matchmaking, you do get some awful teams who seem to do nothing right (evident with the amount of gold/silver medals I achieve every game) and it does affect your ranking. At the moment, I am on 2653 but I know I can get much higher than that, you just get some dud games and just need to know when to quit while you are ahead. |
AsleepInTheBack
09.09.16 | agreed, i always solo queue and so oft get messed up by teammates stupidity (although sometimes my own, I'll be the first to admit). I'm stuck around 2700. I'll go back up to 2750ish and then get knocked back down. |
zaruyache
09.09.16 | "that was never meant to be the point of them."
it's like they've never played TF2 before. |
anarchistfish
09.09.16 | I'm around 2100 (not too bad considering I lost my first 5 placement matches), only solo queue and the teams seem pretty balanced. Have encountered some really shit players though so I'm keen on finding people to party up with. |
Sinternet
09.09.16 | yeah im at 2100 or so aswell, got 3 wins, 1 draw. 6 losses in placements
the problem is two of those losses were 5v6 as people left the match, which is really fucking annoying. I think if you do get stuck with 5v6 they should just void the result for the losing team as it's really not their fault tbh.
Also realised i'm a pretty kickass Mercy recently so been playing a lot of her. |
AsleepInTheBack
09.09.16 | Yeah the placement system is pretty shitty, but if you keep playing the system should move you to where you deserve. and yes, losing because of a 5v6 is the worst. Ive never been able to play mercy, if I'm support its always lucio or zen. |
Typhoon24
09.09.16 | 6-2 in placement matches 2 left and im nervous lol. this is the first game i played seriously/regularly where i felt i was worse than the average player :/ |

09.10.16 | I'd play more Mercy if my ping wasn't so bad. Zenyatta is fun |
Sinternet
09.12.16 | omfg comp is getting me so pissed - despite playing pretty well im not moving at all
my best hero atm is mercy so i do play her a fair bit but at around rank 2000 no-one ever picks support, so i'm forced into playing her when to improve my rank it's a lot easier to pick a dps hero. and when i do play mercy none of my team stay on the point, and they never look out for me. there's always a reaper, genji or tracer behind our backline just constantly destroying me and none of my team are turning around,, they just walk forward. either that or they just stand where they are at choke points and dont force a push at all. im getting gold for healing and objective time (as support!) and once i even got a joint gold for eliminations as mercy. its really fucking annoying rn. |
AsleepInTheBack
09.12.16 | playing mercy on comp solo q is hell. same with most support (though especially mercy and ana) and Reinhardt.
"once i even got a joint gold for eliminations as mercy"
damn, your teammates are worse than i feared. at 2700 most people are still quite stupid and auto lock dps characters, so i can't imagine 2000 |
Calc
09.12.16 | I've been over 2900 3 separate times now, and I've accepted the fact I'll never reach diamond |
AsleepInTheBack
09.12.16 | hopefully the system will sort itself out and diamond will become more possible, but at the moment there are people with a way higher rank than they should have due to the placements. similarly there are people stuck in ELO hell that deserve to be higher |
Sinternet
09.12.16 | oh ffs just had another stupid match
first there was a guy picking bastion on a fucking control map who wouldnt switch, then after deciding i'd play some tracer instead my whole team completely stops pushing at choke points, leaving me the only one near the objective and having to take on the whole team by myself |
Sinternet
09.12.16 | and now i lost another match thanks to a leaver |
sempiturtle
09.12.16 | I've basically stopped playing for this season, it'll take a while before competitive is completely sorted out. |
AsleepInTheBack
09.12.16 | I'm still playing, but I'm not taking it as seriously as i used to. i mean, I'm only playing meta heros that i know pretty well and have 10 plus hours on each and I'm obviously trying to win, but I'm accepting that sometimes you'll have shit teammates and thats out of my control so why stress about it, just play well and dont get too annoyed when you lose as the competitive system is designed to make you lose roughly 50% of the time |

09.12.16 | game is boring now |

09.12.16 | nah |
anarchistfish
09.12.16 | I've played 2 competitive games today
first game is on numbani attack: we wreck the first point and capture it, one of the enemy immediately ragequits and the game is cancelled
2nd game on lijiang: we have a hanzo on top of a junkrat and 2 dps none of whom wanna change to a 2nd tank or 2nd healer (I had to take zarya who I'm not amazing with), my teammates start quitting cos we're getting wrecked and the hanzo is doing fuck all, we get thrashed and I lose 60 SR
i have not played a 3rd game |
anarchistfish
09.12.16 | "first there was a guy picking bastion on a fucking control map who wouldnt switch, "
idk how these people reach high ranks
"There is no need of overwatch when you have Paragon or Smite. Overwatch is extremely overpriced, the lack of content is notorious as hell, the microtransations of that game are awful and is a fuckin pay to win game. This game is basiclly a carbon copy of team fortress 2"
lol |
anarchistfish
09.12.16 | on a more positive note i'm discovering how fun roadhog, zarya, zen and reinhardt can be, especially the latter on defence when I think "fuck my teammates" and just attack hard fuck the shield |
AsleepInTheBack
09.12.16 | personally still loving the game despite some of the competitive issues.
and yeah man they're all super fun, though i suck ass at zarya haha. Roadhog is as close to a main as I have, just so fun to hook a pain in the ass like genji or lucio and one shot them |
anarchistfish
09.12.16 | Mei |
demigod!
09.12.16 | i don't own overwatch (yet) but aren't the microtransactions literally just useless skins |
emester
09.12.16 | Junkrat, Widowmaker, Soldier 76 and Mercy are my go to characters. |
anarchistfish
09.12.16 | Demi yeah and you can just get them by levelling up anyway. No idea how he got the idea it's "pay to win" |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Sombra is sooooo fun |
DinosaurJones
11.11.16 | Still haven't played this. One day I'll get to it. |
Drummerboy123
11.11.16 | Overwatch will replace Team Fortress 2 for a lot of people. It’s gonna be huge for a few years at least, the player base is still growing exponentially so it’ll be ages before it even starts to die down.
The heroes I play most are;
D’va (main)
Tracer
Reaper
Mei
Lucio
I suck dick at most of the other characters so I’m trying to git gud at them. Genji, Zarya, and Reinhardt are on my list to train with. I imagine I'll love Sombra though since she's like a mix of Tracer and Reaper.
Fuck Hanzo, Ana and Widowmaker, on PS4 those heroes are useless. Also fuck Roadhog’s hook, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thrown my controller in a fit of rage after being hooked round a fucking wall. |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | can't wait for sombra. ana aint useless though, not if you have a tanky team comp. |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Lol mine:
Junkrat: 16 hours
Lucio: 1 hour
Pharah: 1 hour
Zenyatta: 1 hour
And the rest are less than 1 hour |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | Junkrat is so fucking fun though. I have Roadhog, Zen, Pharah, Rein, Lucio, Junkrat and a couple of others around 20hrs, then a solid bunch at like 10 (Tracer, Mccree, Soldier, Ana and several others) and then a handful i never touch (widow, symmetra, torb) |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | It's hard to just sit around knowing there's someone out there that needs to be blown up! |
Devastator
11.11.16 | HAHAHAHA YOURE BLOWING UP!!!!!!!! |
Sinternet
11.11.16 | i have officially become a mei main |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | i would also mei main if i didnt suck as her. she's too goddamn fun |
Sinternet
11.11.16 | yeah and she's a great carry at lower ranks. She works really well because of her tanky survivabilty plus her decent damage output at most ranges, plus the ability to wall opponents off is really useful |
Devastator
11.11.16 | If I had a dollar for every game comp game that I lost or tied because of Mei stalling... |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Her ULT is so useful on some maps too |
Gyromania
11.11.16 | i too have played the most with lucio. i love how balanced he is and i can usually help carry my team to victory with him, as long as they aren't being jackasses and splitting up. soldier is also a lot of fun to play as, and roadhog and (i know i'm in the minority here) ana.
bastion is the most basic bitch character ever in a game tho. junkrat is pretty bs too, and hanzo. dvas ultimate is complete horse shit, as is junkrat's. their area of effect is hilarious to say the least, and i want to smash dvas face in when she says 'NERF THIS' |
Sinternet
11.11.16 | dva's ult is useless though, you rarely pick up any kills for it and it's so easily countered with reinhardt shield and the lenght of time it takes to detonate means people can easily get away, hopefully with sombra's ult it will make dva's more powerful again |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Junkrat's ULT is easily stopped if you are actually aware of what's happening and D.Va's is easily blocked or avoided.
Bastion is powerful, but super easily countered. Reasons why he is the least played in comp.
Ana is essential in comp tbh |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Yeah D.Va wrecks shit with lower levels, until people actually learn |
Devastator
11.11.16 | Sombra is the ultimate combo character for ults. Nullifies Reinhardts Shield and Lucios ult. Im expecting a lot of Genji Sombra and Reaper Sombra in season 3 comp |
Gyromania
11.11.16 | your comments are predicated on having good teammates who actively look out for each other, which is honestly pretty rare unless you're playing with a specific group of people. her ult is bs tho come on. i've been like 50 feet away from her and still died to it |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Oh trust me I used to get so enraged whenever I would hear "NERF THIS"
My roommate was like "are you okay..."
And now I'm just like... FIND A WALL |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | I used to get quintuple kills with RIP-Tire, but higher leveled people are too smart and actually spread out |
Devastator
11.11.16 | Rip-Tire come in handy in overtime matches where the enemy team has to close to the payload. |
Sinternet
11.11.16 | even at lower levels d.va's ult sucks and rarely catches more than one person if that
and yeah been playing ana a bit recently she's pretty fun |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | higher leveled people are too smart and actually spread out [2]
same with avoiding Diva's I've found |
Devastator
11.11.16 | Is there like a tier list for the characters yet? |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Yeah used to think dvas ult was so op until I realised pretty much any sort of cover blocks it.
Mei is so fucking annoying, she needs a counter character because atm there's basically nothing.
Hoping Lucio isn't too fucked by the nerfs, the general ult charge nerf and sombra. I've been doing well in ranking up with him. Can't wait to main the shit out of sombra though |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | A tier list? |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | My numbers now are more like
Lucio 55 hours
Junkrat 40 hours
DVa 25 hours
Reinhardt 20 hours
|
Sinternet
11.11.16 | tracer and genji are pretty good mei counters because of their movement abilities |
Devastator
11.11.16 | A list on how like how viable a character is for a either attack or defense on any game type something like that. |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | I would've thought mei would do well against both. Genji can't deflect your ice spray and if either gets frozen they're dead |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | There are heroes that are more viable I'm competitive with a coordinated tram, like reinhardt, Lucio, zarya, but blizzard is aiming to make all the heroes equal hence the constant buffs and nerfs. Not sure it's absolutely possible though |

Devastator
11.11.16 | True, a coordinated Zarya ult terrifying. |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Fuck I hate trying to freeze Tracer |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Pretty sure mei is considered a genji counter tbh |
Sinternet
11.11.16 | tracer and genji do well because they're very mobile and can easily escape being frozen, genji with dash and tracer with blink or recall |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Sombra is gonna fuck up my hero pool |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Theoretically genji and tracer can escape from mei but that's the point. Genji shouldn't really be up close to mei anyway |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Tracer could do well against mei bit it'd have to be a good tracer and there aren't that many especially in lower ranks |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Sombra countering Rein and Zarya will shake up that tier list |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | sombra is gonna fuck up so many heroes I feel. actually can't wait for a meta swing |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Imagine being Rein and all of a sudden you're hacked and can't shield |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | apparently under an old build sombra could hack through his barrier. They decided that was broken as it'd make him unplayable haha |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | yeah I still don't really expect it. real "oh shit" moment. I feel like there needs to be an alternative to rein because he's the only true tank in the game. that in itself might make sombra a must pick, on top of the health pack hacking |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | they've promised that the new hero after sombra is another tanky melee driven character, so could be an alternative |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | Winston would be better if his shield didn't suck |
Nomos
11.11.16 | Junkrat and Torb. Ya know who hates Torb? Who discredits his POTGs and kill counts? I see it every other game. People who can't counter him. He is nothing without his turret, which can't do shit for damage until hit to level 2. Easy AF to counter a Torb. But fuck me Junkrat is fun. Couple dozen in game hours as him. Learning his grenade ricochet and trajectories leads to some really fun chaotic gameplay. |
AsleepInTheBack
11.11.16 | Winston's great if you have a zen and a zarya backing you up, but if he has no back up he is useless |
Gyromania
11.11.16 | every time i see mei freezing me with that dumb fucking grin on her face i seriously want to kick her teeth in. she is such a bs character. |
anarchistfish
11.11.16 | Well I solo q Lucio so I can't really deal with torbjorn myself.
I fucking hate torbjorn. |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | I love Mei hahaha
So annoying but so fun |

11.11.16 | So annoying but so fun [2]
fuck it, I'm gonna learn mei, so gloriously troll

AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | There's no better feeling than freezing somebody and slowly shooting them in the face |
sempiturtle
11.11.16 | Idk the times played but I play D.Va, Mercy, Lucio, Junkrat, Tracer, and Reaper. Sombra looks cool too. |
Drummerboy123
11.11.16 | "Mei is so fucking annoying, she needs a counter character because atm there's basically nothing."
Pharah fucks her up hard. Rocket jump up and blast the shit out of her. Mei is the most fun tho, putting up a wall as Reinhardt dashes into you is funny as fuck. Ult on a capture point and ice sharding everyone is so satisfying.
Trying to get better as Roadhog rn. |
Devastator
11.11.16 | Roadhog and the hook that defies physics |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.11.16 | I've been pulled through the payload as Lucio and I'm just like "k" |

11.16.16 | sombra is so fun but really hard
i have 5 hrs already including those from ptr |
sempiturtle
11.16.16 | When I play Sombra I'll start out absolutely awful, like 1 elim 5 deaths, then I'll go on a 10 kill streak or so once my team gets a foothold in the game. It's really difficult to 1v1 other heroes with her. |
anarchistfish
11.16.16 | you're not really meant to 1v1 with her unless you catch a mercy or zen or something off guard. you have to be so aware and on point with her cos if you get caught out you are dead |
AmericanFlagAsh
11.16.16 | I love all the "accidentally killed Sombra" stuff people are posting
Like Ana meaning to sleep somebody else and sleeping Sombra who got in the way |
anarchistfish
11.16.16 | it's frustratingly easy to get fucked when you're invis cos overwatch is so spammy (unlimited ammo) |
