“stop drawing porn of a gorilla fucking a hamster because the hamster might be underage” is the single funniest microcosm of the state of discourse on this website i’ve ever seen and i’m not gonna get over it anytime soon
Listen. I’m gonna level with you. I’m gonna be straight with you. I’m gonna be up front about this.
I already don’t know what Overwatch is. There’s a gorilla and some lesbians and guns but yall never play the gorilla I don’t know. And then sometimes if that wasn’t bad enough sometimes you go and just invent new Overwatches. Like just when I’m getting a handle on what “Junkrat kin discourse” is yall show up with “This is my new OC her name is Grandma Sniper” and then SHE’S part of the Overwatchers. “This is Swedish Beefcake” could yall? not?? I still don’t know what a Hanzo is. I know it’s an insult but I don’t know what it means.
“This is my new doctor OC she hangs out with Angela Mercy her name is Moriarty” yall are just making things up now. no one’s explained the gorilla yet. put the doctor away yall already have like a fucking half angel or something. stop just adding characters to the cast i still dont know what the plot is. whats the plot?? no one ever talks about the plot i just know Soldier 69 and his best friend Anakin Skywalker had a fight about something. is there a plot??? i dont think there is!
I’m pretty sure yall are just playing Super Smash Bros and you’re like “yeah uh huh theres a plot theres lore see Grandma Sniper used to be part of Overwatch the Prequel” but then yall just play 10,000 hours of SSB with 18 Grandma Snipers on the field and two Junkrats going “yeah deep lore”
Whos. Whos even the Turgbjorn guy? What did he do??
dude i swear based on the demands overwatch players keep making to blizzard
it’s like almost none of them have ever played an online shooter before and just suck at them
mercy, back when i played the damn game was a fragile healer class with a shitty little pistol as a last resort defense
and they made her even shittier with every single nerf they’ve done to her
“she heals too much!!!”
she’s a healer class
that’s her primary thing
her healing is supposed to be huge and overhwhelming cause she’s supposed to stick to her teammates like glue and keep alternating healing between them
how fucking bad are you at shooters if you can’t even shoot the medic that’s literally glowing almost all the time and has the lowest possible health value you can get in overwatch
Old but still pertinent:
“2007″
my fucking god
Her problem is her ressurection ability, which should not be a thing in a competitive fps game. It is anti-skill. Also, she isnt the lowest possible health target because Tracer is AND she also has health regen after 1 second of no damage. It’s really not that simple and I hate when people just boil it down to “just kill her” like this isn’t a game where supports are probably behind at least one shield and at least one tank and is highly mobile. Not even comparable to the medic from tf2.
just
kill her
she’s a giant fuckin glowing SHOOT ME sign
it’s really that easy
especially since the medic has an ability THAT MAKES HIM AND THE TARGET INVINCIBLE and mercy ain’t in the time i played it
(but yeah i was wrong about her being the lowest health because she’s merely 2nd lowest along with unsuited d.va and s76)
Being behind a shield and a tank was also what happened with TF2. “Pocket Medics” where the Medic constantly tagged along behind the hard-to-kill Heavy were incredibly common. You know how people dealt with that?
They stealthed around behind them, or sniped them from above, or just lobbed grenades over the meatshields to hit the medic. Things that you can do in Overwatch with Sombra, Widowmaker/Ana, and Junkrat respectively.
You have the tools, so stop whining and use them. She can’t resurrect people if you kill her first.
You can nade/rocket jump over the medic/heavy pair. Scout is all about maneuvering around and taking out high value targets. Spy can close in with stealth. Now Overwatch has similar heroes. Pharah/Junkrat can fly over and blow up the Mercy. “BUT MERCY CAN FLY.” Fucking learn how to shoot with projectile weapons then. A good soldier/demoman can launch an enemy into the air and hit them mid-air since they can’t dodge as well in the air. Heroes like Tracer and Genji were made for taking out Mercy. Even if Mercy flies away, both have movement abilities made for closing distances. Sombra can just hack her so that she can’t even fly away. Reaper can flank if the enemy doesn’t notice him. You have so many options.
And my god, this isn’t Tribes. Every map in Overwatch is just chokepoint, chokepoint, chokepoint. Fuck, Overwatch doesn’t even have movement that’s as fast or fluid as TF2. Shooting at some slowing flying glowing chick is nothing compared to trying to headshot some demoman flying at you 200mph because he has the sticky jumper that lets him nade jump without damage and omg he has a sword. Or you’re playing on a server where b-hopping is allowed and my god there’s a medic solo-ubering and he’s this fast hopping invincible freak just stabbing the entire team.
I’m glad you mentioned shooting flying/aerial targets because now it gives me an excuse to post this finely aged clip:
its been a year since that tracer gay comic but i still remember that guy on the blizzard forums that threw a tray of chicken nuggets at his mom out of grief for tracer being taken by the gays
well i guess this is it
