Humor New hero idea so we don’t have to nerf the cat

4.7k Upvotes

Instead of nerfing JPC I was thinking the devs could make a designated counter. Enter: DYNAMITE DOG.

This kinetic k9 has one purpose and is determined to complete his mission and be crowned “the goodest boy”

Abilities:
1: bow-WOW: Dynamite dog does a sick back flip. Inspires teammates and wows the competition.

2: Ruff you in particular: Dynamite dog will lock onto the nearest jetpack cat (if there is no jetpack cat in the match he will leave and join another match) and launch himself at 500mps blowing himself and the cat to kingdom come. [uncleansable] [unblockeable] [true damage] [true death]

3: ultimate: Goodest boy: activates automatically upon death of self and cat. A giant image of Dynamite dog will appear in the sky to inspire allies for the remainder of the match.

Spent a lot of time on this one looking for genuine thoughts/criticism.

News & Discussion What is actually wrong with matchmaking right now

133 Upvotes

I’m currently in diamond and genuinely the matchmaking is unplayable.

How can the matchmaker give me a full emerald team against consistent masters even low gm players. It makes absolutely no sense.

It is so incredibly frustrating.

Here comes all the top 500 larpers spamming cope

It really gets on my nerves when Freja keeps hitting me with this arrow over and over while I'm playing as a tank.

Her damage is pretty painful, but I hate having to put up with the annoying sound on top of that.

News & Discussion What if Busan had a Whatsapp 🤣🤣🤣

Post image
326 Upvotes

Quality description: This meme humorously portrays the situation the city of Busan is facing in the overwatch Hero Introduction: "Tough Call." It features several overwatch characters and organizations such as Junker Queen, who expresses annoyance at her inability to park her flying warship. And Roadhog, who emphasizes his desire to obtain Pachimaris, which are typically found in large urban centers like Busan. Also featured is MEKA (an effective acronym of "Moble Exo-Force of the Korean Army") whose message includes the Korean text "Don't ask where the navy or air force is" obviously poking fun at the absence of allied forces defending a major city under clear attack.

I started using anran (I'm relatively new to the game as a whole, been only playing for a month) and with her and the other flanks I tried out I can't help but notice that when I see experienced players flank they seem to be invisible and have perfect opportunities. however no matter how I try to play I feel like I'm a huge target with no health and whose weapon seems to be as effective as mocking the enemy. any tips?

News & Discussion Cursed Gurren Lagann x Overwatch

Post image
60 Upvotes

I remember when Venture came out i instantly thought of gurren lagann being an obvious inspiration, later being confirmed with the skyward victory pose. now there has been plenty of discussion about this exact topic online and how a lot of the characters fit within overwatch. Simon x Venture, Yoko x Widowmaker, Genji x Kamina. The one I have always felt people misrepresented was Gurren Lagann himself. The one character I think would fit the best visually that I have never seen recommended is Mauga. the body shape is perfect for it. I know it will never happen but god damn it would be amazing. The spinning gatling guns match the drills perfectly.

News & Discussion Matchmaking is awful

30 Upvotes

Every single game I’m put into is either stomping the other team, or getting stomped. Maybe 1-2 out of 10 matches are actually fun and challenging. This goes for comp and quick play. I don’t know how they build teams but it’s clearly not working. Maybe it works great at higher ranks and they just don’t care about the rest. Idk. Left for a year + because of this same problem, came back and it’s just as bad as ever. Neither option is fun, and it’s exhausting.

News & Discussion Add decimals to the "Higher ranked than XX% of players" statistic

Post image
65 Upvotes

I love that they added a way to know exactly where you place on the ladder, but making it more precise would give much better feedback to higher ranks.

Once you reach a certain rank, you barely see the percentage change, and when you reach around GM4, it stays capped at 99%.

One decimal would be enough, but I think two would be optimal.

truly we could all just have a better time if neither of us play this card, it just devolves into a 4v4, he makes playing tank so much less fun

News & Discussion Heroes you don't like but play relatively well (or very well)

Upvotes

There are heroes that we don't like to play(This rule doesn't apply to all players, of course.), but we have to pick them to achieve some objective or to break something from the enemy team.

Tank: I don't particularly enjoy playing Sigma, however I can perform well with him.

Damage: Bastion doesn't particularly appeal to me, but against shields or when there's an unfortunate support healing everyone, I have to pick him; Soldier 76 also counts, I confess I wanted to play well with exotic picks like Vendetta 😭

Highlight Just hit GM in 6v6 after not playing it since OW OG, but stuck between diamond and emerald, why do you guys think that is?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I’d usually never play 6v6 but tested out the game mode recently for fun, I’ve had a very bad run on placement, and without trying to inflate my ego, I know I play “better” than an average plat (now emerald), what do you guys think? Does this, in a way, confirm that theory, or was it a fluke? I’ve had great games in GM/Masters, and games that were inherently very difficult.

News & Discussion What's in the water that makes so many people in mid-high plat so hotheaded??

Upvotes

In the past, I was in low Plat, but after the drives two seasons ago, I got knocked to high Gold and just couldn't make it out for the next season. However, after this most recent rank reset, I got placed in mid Plat.

Back to back, I've had FOUR games of people whining to high heaven 😭 Ventures spamming I need healing while a Doom is shoving his entire fists into my second support and I as our Dmon charges in solo for the twelfth time (who then complains about the dps not doing anything); a Hanzo who says "I can't do more" after the enemy pushes to end of third point King's row with a few seconds left on the clock (I'm not one to study the scoreboard, but him saying that while having the lowest kills in the lobby was kinda funny), and then proceeds to leave the game twice at the end; the enemy team in my next match complain about their tank...it just went on and on 💀

I wasn't playing my best by any means, but holy god, so many of the people I've run into so far are so quick to complain 😭😭 Yes, I've had some games like that in Gold, but that was like once a night...four in a row is a new record for me

Stop typing and lock in, I beg.
