What happens if a friendly Reinhardt charges through a zarya black hole?

Junkrat's mine has so much goddamn utility, it's amazing. It's a fantastic finisher, it can be used along with his grenades to zone people out. It can be used to get higher ground, escape from a messy situation, separate healers from their team, etc. I've even used it to escape from roadhogs hook multiple times.

Was that you who killed my Genji on Volskaya Industries? You dirty bastard laying that trap down after we took the first point. (or whoever ended up doing that)

salt/autism post coming up

Played a fun Mei game, guy on the other team disagreed



rather then argue or ignore complaints about Mei being OP, I challenged him



he lost pretty hard and I got POTG, the guy telling someone to lynch themselves over picking a character in a video game tried to play the "u mad" card



and a mediocre potg wherein he dies to wrap things up

I dislike both racism and bad sportsmanship. I hope this isn't too controversial.

I like all the people who kept yelling how the game would be dead within a month because they solo queued into a group, and also they think every loss they take is because the other team is grouped.

people that play competitive videogames have small broken brains and fragile egos and you can easily exploit their delicate emotional constitutions if you say they are bad or call them gay

I also think that this is good

But I also tend to think that banning or suspending people who hurt your feelings even incidentally is a product of internet-era socialization and echo chambering and is itself not very nice

I, too, love to debate Internet Etiquette and Racisms in this, the Blizzard Overwatch Videogame Thread.

other than Hanzo you described my plan for this weekend as well, which is Ninja Man and Robot Man all day every day

Genji has an insanely bad reputation among pubbies I've played with, where people will instantly get upset at you for picking him or do something in matchchat like "oh look a genji main *rolls eyes*" but it isn't my fault he's more fun than all of the Defense heroes combined

I refuse to believe this works for Zenyatta. All Zenyatta mains are chill as poo poo.

Also, we should play some Overwatch some time.

i've been trying this out a bit with mumble friends and I'm starting to think that one of the best strats for pubs right now is "don't show respect until the opponents earn it." not like, bming or picking gimmick 5 mei/1 lucio comps, but basically ask yourself "do i assume my opponents are playing well/'correctly' right now?" and if the answer is yes even though you haven't actually seen proof of that you need to go a bit more ham.

a great example of this is offense on first point Hanamura, with the one chokepoint gate. the "proper" play would be to spam down the opposing reinhardt's shield, get some sort of pick with a widow/roadhog/etc., then push in with a support ult, or some variation thereof. what've i've found though is that people seem to just take this for granted and will stall at that chokepoint and not accomplish anything. instead try speedboosting with lucio after that second corner and plowing into them with a zarya and mccree or something - you'll probably end up just walking right over them in my experience because people respect you too much and don't expect you to just violate the unwritten rules of overwatch chokepoints like that. even if you don't wipe them you'll probably trade and the walk back is definitely shorter for offense than defense there.

it's not a perfect strat (in fact it relies on being kinda gimmicky and bad) but i've gotten a lot of mileage out of it if i let my team know that's what's going on. i've found it often doesn't work as hot against turret classes for whatever reason, probably because you have to split your attention, but give it a shot and see how it works out for you!
