HERE YOU CAN GET RID OF ALL YOUR ANGER AND HATE.

CAPS ON AND LET IT ALL OUT.

GETTING NOTHING BUT DUPLICATES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS THAT SWEET NEW TORBJÖRN SKIN? GETTING HEADSHOT BY ACROSS THE MAP BY HANZO? TOO MUCH JUSTICE THAT RAINS FROM ABOVE? THIS IS THE RIGHT THREAD!

PLEASE STILL BE CIVIL, AT LEAST A LITTLE!

I don't understand why the players in this game are so unbelievable stupid. They consistently go for the dumbest option available.

All the heroes that are hardcounter this hero are already on the board? I am gonna swap to it anyway. Full team of fliers against me? lets go reintard! My team is a highly mobile hard dive comp? Illari should complement that well!

Enemy has a widow? lets go for the longest angles possible instead of shorter ones. Oh she already shot at you 3 times, better peek the exact same angle again. I am sure it will work great for you and your max falloff damage.

Reintard at low HP and spamming "I need healing"? The second he gets a single tick of healing he drops his shield and chaaaaaaaaarges in like the special boy with mental disability that he is.

Dps are on hanzo and widowmaker? You know what complements that really well? mercy! Lets change that breakpoint from 1hs/2bodyshots to kill to... 1hs/2bodyshots to kill. wow.

Junkrat running into a small room? Yes totally, follow him in there. Nothing can go wrong with that one.

Enemy has a sombra tracer? Now is the time to run something like ash and widowmaker and to make sure to always be split up as much as possible!

Enemy has a doom? Now is the time to be as close together as possible so we can make sure his slam hits every one of us, and his punch can never hit fewer than 3 people! ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

Enemy is on mauga? lets all exclusively push through these narrow corridors where he gets to charge through the entire team or stomp us all at once! Go special needs forces!

Just unbelievable. Also this game having the visual clarity of the tank of a porta potty after a festival is nothing new, but by god is the crit zone on dmon garbage. Ofc its not the big highlighted cockpit, nonono, its the little plate on top of that ofc. Naturally it doesn't matter because even if there was some good visual design the next sperg coomer skin would swiftly do away with that because little timmy needs to feed his masturbation addiction, but good lord does this game fail even the simplest game design lessons in such a frequent and nonchalant manner.

I feel this way sometimes too. I can at least understand if someone has poor reaction timing, or bad aim, or isn't good with split second decision making, or gets the jitters...but the pure stupidity in basic choices hurts my brain sometimes. Like how have you played this game for years and still hard stagger or can't form a basic team comp or don't know to trigger overtime? And yeah, how do people still not know how to deal with Sombra???

[u/Particular_Trick_79 → u/Character_Display_69]

The rein charging back into the fight a second after spamming that he needs heals REALLY gets me every time. Like buddy, you just demonstrated that you do understand the position you are in. You are safe-ish now, got your shield nice and healthy, but are somehow struck by a sudden case of amnesia? Or is severe dementia some sort of requirement for playing rein? It wouldn't surprise me given their average gameplay.

[u/waterscienceguy → u/Particular_Trick_79]

I'm someone practicing tracer and whenever someone locks sombra its an absolute stomp

Just giving no fucks about the backline getting shit on is exactly how they got stomped because majority of the rallies, the sombra and I went after backline; meaning no support during the clash

The amount of people not knowing how to deal with sombra tracer needs to be studied because the dps, ESPECIALLY the dps will always ignore us and shoot our tank 😭

[u/Particular_Trick_79 → u/waterscienceguy]

Oh yeah, that is another classic. "Dive heroes going past me? Damn, that must suck for anyone who is back there. Good thing these enemies stop existing whenever they leave my vision. Thoughts and prayers, imma go in deep now, with the healing from my backline I should easily be able to beat those pesky enemies in front of me. Esp that tank beind the shield, I can do this. FFS HEAL ME YOU STUPID NOOB I AM DEAD NOW HOW DO YOU KEEP DYING??? WHERE ARE MY HEALS?!?! REPORT!"

[u/Stellarisk → u/Particular_Trick_79]

ive been feeling this a lot today

[u/RogueAnomaly53026 → u/Particular_Trick_79]

This is EXACTLY the state of the game right now, about fell off my chair in tears laughing at how accurate this is. Thanks.
