@Caits Cole walked away from Estella.

[MarshiestMallow]

@t2wave
Still near her, so.... cole would have to go to Barca

[Scarifar]

@Caits Ehh I just found whatever pics I could. Personally, I'm a Mercy main.

[MarshiestMallow]

@Scarifar
I'm a flex. I can play most of the board, quite well. But I tend to gravitate towards pharah, McCree, mercy, solider, reaper, Junkers, Mei and dva. Oh and Lucio Oh well that's nearly half the board XD

I friggin love Lucio. Sometimes if a game is going sideways I'll change to him just to bounce around and tick off the other team XD.

And junkerrat... I loved him before his buff, but now he doesn't die from his bombs.... I idolises him lol.

But pharah.... she's the first one I ever played well.

And I could keep on going about overwatch, but I'll stop XD

[twave]

Overwatch? I like that game. We should get a group together and play it some time.

[MarshiestMallow]

I have it on Xbox!

[twave]

Hm, sadly I have PC so that wouldn't work.

[Archmage MC]

I can play almost anyone in Overwatch. I hate the game though because Geoff Goodman is a horrible, horrible balance director and is ruining the game every month and every balance patch. When he gets fired I'll like the game again. And considering he was fired off all his other projects, that might happen soon.

It'll be nice being able to play Junkrat at high levels again and having Pharmacy nerfed into the ground.

[BlackPanther]

Aight so I'll get Cole to bother Barca
Tomorrow
Probably tomorrow

[YoshiSkittlez]

I haven't played Overwatch in a while (my Xbox live account expired and I'm kind of broke) but Reaper was my main. But I also really like (and am good at) McCree, Zenyatta, Widowmaker, and oh what's his name... ugh the tank in armor. I keep wanting to say Ryhorn but thats a Pokemon XD

@YoshiSkittlez

Welp, since you last played...

Reaper is garbage tier since he cant hit pharah.
McCree is... ok. Hes not S76 and has a hard time with Pharah, but hes not... bad.
Zenny is alright, still not great, but dies super hard to Dive meta so he isn't used much.
Widow and Reinhardt are really bad. Rein because he has had a bug for MONTHS that desyncs his melee swing and melee damage timers horrendously and hasn't been fixed, and because he can't handle the dive meta.
Meanwhile Hanzo/Junkrat/Mei/Bastion/Torb/Sym are useless tier, Roadhog might as well should not exist due to his super nerf, and Pharah/Mercy are so powerful that even the tournament scene has devolved into 'ignore the pharah/mercy combo and hope you wipe their team before they wipe yours to make them MAYBE retreat.'

Only useful heroes seem to be Winston/Tracer/Genji/D'va/Lucio/Mercy/Pharah/S76/Zarya/and maybe Sombra or Ana.

I miss the days when it was fun T.T.

[Vicier]

..I suddenly have the urge to reboot my overwatch rp... @-@;;

Hm, I wonder why...

[YoshiSkittlez]

Yeah I quit having fun when they "fixed" Roadhogs "GET OVER HERE" insta-kill that just made him worse

@YoshiSkittlez

Geoff is really bad at game design, it shows. HotS is a prime example of why hes bad as once he was kicked off that team, the game improved 1000x fold.

I'd just bring his hook damage to 70-80, gun damage to 110, range back to 1.5m, and now he kills 200 people he hooks without killing Reaper.

[TechnoWizROK]

Eh forgot to mention but I'll most likely be inactive for the next four days or so as I'm overseas for a missionary trip. Apologies if this is an inconvenience for anyone.

[MarshiestMallow]

I apologise. I'm not going to get any posts done tonight, not going to get anything done full stop. And maybe not tomorrow either.

It's been a bad day.

Like break down and cry bad.

Hey, Overwatch discussion I missed.

I haven't played in a while, but in high Master/Grandmaster games, I interpret the meta a bit differently. You'll only get Pharahs to begin with, and usually someone will switch out to either Widowmaker (who's stupidly powerful right now, now that the shield meta's over) or S:76 (because practically everyone in those games has aim good enough to take out a Pharah). McCree is kind of a substandard pick as S:76 or Hanzo does his job better. If the Pharah-Mercy combination gives the hitscan trouble, just run a Zen.

Reaper is decently strong right now after his buff because it's not his job to take out the Pharah, and because Winston is being used as a solo tank in dive quite often (as the 2-2-2 meta is only a basic starting point for composition) he's a decent enough counter to him now that Roadhog's a bit duff.

Tracers might have difficulties pegging the healers because DVA is so strong right now, but on the plus side, I suspect Mei will become more and more useful now that DVA's up (because she can't deflect her ice beam). She's still a fringe pick because you get flamed if you even think about it. Good news though that people have stopped flaming Sombra picks because hack messes up Winston something awful.

Reinhardt is fucked, though.

[Scarifar]

Doomfist's been released on the ptr. He's pretty damn fun, but I'm not very good at him. Plus, I suspect he'll get nerfed after a while tho.

@Sapphire
Hey, sorry to get to you so late, but currently @Simple Unicycle and I are writing up a collab with Hollis and Katie. However, I could talk to him about having you join in when he comes back if you want! ^_^
