I love the Mercy/Hog ship.

I'd rather have road hog to watch them with. Seems like he knows his shit
Arcian
WolfyLauren
GodEmperorOfImgur
I wish I could be as roadhoggy as this roadhog.
TheGhostMinx
The comics and some of the porn is the best thing to come out of overwatch.
DasBeaker
No joke. I want a world like wreck it Ralph to exist where game characters live and what not. Or like a TV show.
vzon20011
Lobo rip off.
BRizzle421
They must be watching the viewers choice episodes. Brutal...
spicefreak
I would.
Midgarmerc
I'd watch a Seinfeldesque series of Overwatch characters on their off days
AwkwardGirl4691
someone i went to school with had the last name Ziegler

I feel like he would say "choose" instead of "chooses"

Infactyoucangofuckyourself
Fuck road hog
bpjarMemePoster
I love this
Serabii
there are two types of people in this world....
Wellshiet
Lmao the second comment is obviously just angry about it being multiplayer, not about the actual gameplay.
shinyRK9
first game mercy vs 100th game mercy

This.. reminds me of my mom and I..hah

Too thikk

It's a shame overwatch is such a shallow gameplay experience they made some really fun characters to just do a team shooter with
Mmmmmmcheese
I want a campaign!
freezingpilot
It was supposed to be a MMORPG I think. But then that got cancelled and they recycled the art/concepts into a teambased heroshooter.
HistoricalContext
Yup. Overwatch is what's left of Project: Titan, their replacement for WoW.
EpicWumpus
It's balancing is the worst. Either unplayable or too OP. These new patches seem to be working on that, but slightly so.
Pootisborn
Yeah, a lot of people over there agree. https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20760718408
KingKrown
I don't see how it's Shallow...
shadokastur0776
Because it has basically zero story to it. Just get in there and shoot.
By that logic then all MP focused games are shallow.
But MP I assume you mean multiplayer? If so there are tons of mp games with great storylines
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
That's not what shallow gameplay means. The gameplay has a fair bit of depth. The narrative is shallow as hell though.
InbredMountain
Because it's a multiplayer fps. Imagine having a full story mode with all the incredible lore and characters they've made.
JonahDaGreat
That was the original idea for the project but tech limited them so they remade it into team fortress 3.
yeah i'd love to spend some time in the world not doing 5 minute team fights. they created clear allegiances with the lore/
but the gameplay throws that totally out the window, it actively hurts the world building they do
gewalt
thats exactly what it was. but the mmo part was scrapped, and the battlegrounds was released as a standalone game
PostNutDepression
I mean its a pretty tactical team-based shooter with roles for everyone to specialize in, the problem is the playerbase imo.
KeeleonOhms
The playerbase is compromised of humans.
ItsOnlyMilky
The issue is that they built a game all about switching and countering without realising that switching and getting countered aren't fun.
I think it's fine.
ASquare
Picking to counter doesn't always win if enemy team has a better meta comp. If you're picking to best only one person doesn't mean fee win.
Not always, no, but the game is built to encourage you to make the fight as unfair as possible.
I think its pretty fun, and as long as your team has solid composition and skill level its usually not that annoying for me.
But playing your favourite hero only to end up being hard countered by a Winston and made suddenly useless is the fucking worst.
GrimdogX
Shame the OW community got so toxic, it's gotten so bad I'd rather deal with LoL or COD players.
SluttySasha
I recently got Overwatch and I mute everybody. I mean everybody. You enjoy the game better.
Sherlochnessmonstertruck
I must be an extremely lucky person, because the number of good people outweigh the number of bad, I just open up with proper communication.
GenericUsernameIsAlreadyTaken
I legit just turn off the voice chat if it gets toxic. People told me I wasn’t healing enough so I killed the comms. *shrugs*
SpeakerForTheUnLiving
Well, did ya try healing them better?
Yprox5
I lost hope, 8 seasons in and no significant changes. Feel like they wont do a thing until smurf account sales drop.
cheeseburger
they are trying to put a cap on it
WhyShouldILoveYou
Whoa whoa whoa pump your brakes kid, nothing beats LoL in toxicity.
cakeycakes
Just mute and move on and your game experience will be a lot better. You can even turn off chat. I mean in comp that isn't as feasible but
it works everywhere else.
It's really not though.
bunnyrut
i don't see it as much in arcade. but i refuse to play comp because of it.
75centslurpee
My friends started taking arcade seriously. I started befriending random people in game because they're generally more pleasant
somethingcleverisuspect
Sadly, you aren’t wrong. I didn’t want to believe it until I did one season of ranked, then never again.
Sonicdahedgie
Wait, you're telling me people take the game mode you're supposed to take seriously seriously? How fucking dare they!
Lol. Fair enough. :)
RiddlingVenus0
I like the voice chat in OW. The keyboard warriors in LoL is one thing, but having people actually scream at you is kind of entertaining.
Wabbadabba
To be good in league you need an IV of a 75% NaCl solution
Longinus212
Or, as someone else said, be an emotionless robot.
Raloneth
Too emotional
Lukester32
Or just, not take the game or the players too seriously. I can enjoy leaguu fine.
Oh, I can deal with league. And I prefer it to OW.
So your a salt miner
TheManInTheWall
*In Vahlen* Outstanding, this budget version of me seems to be peacefully coexisting with the latest Muton variation
YourWaifuIsTrash
Mercy is like the Antimatter Universe version of Vahlen, otherwise she'd be torturing, interrogating, and dissecting the others with glee.
DXAshram
Moira is basically anti-Mercy.
Arkyrion
Rest in peace, you beautiful German sociopath.
Hardun
Is she actually dead? Didn't Alien Hunters just completely fail to give her an ending?
GCRust
I saw it more as Alien Hunters sets her up to be a future antagonist.
C0RDE
Oooh I never thought of this! Damn you I’m excited now! Have an upvote
Shen is the one that died, Vahlen is implied to be alive
KichiUK
And very snaky
ydwyrd
It's implied in XCOM 2 that she's still alive, especially with the Alien Hunters DLC.
CommanderCaribou
I honestly enjoy seeing overwatch content. It seems like such a fun game for people to be competitive but have fun in.
SkeletonsLoveBooty
Great game. Dog shit community. Get 5 friends who are as good as you.
jackpkmn
It is fun when people aren't spending more time deflecting blame for their mistakes than on the point.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
At this point I'm more invested in the characters and fanart people make rather than the game itself, which is kind of a mess.
LordFancington
It's the best.
AVeryLividBeing
It's fun until the other people.
RoyalOli
One of the most toxic communities since LoL
shinagami091
No...theres salt everywhere. The entire place is made of salt.
REVENGE488
It’s fun, rage cancer
DanTheStanMan
It was a fun game with a lovely community 2 years ago. Now? One does not go there anymore.
CelticThunder
R/healsluts, it's honestly a way for people to get their jollies while WHILE playing the rounds. It's pretty toxic, and a lot of kids too
Cultistchan
its like the most casual of moba
doubleaxle
Naaaa it has shit balance for competitive play, casually it's fun though.
How so I'm intrestes
It punishes players for being skilled, meanwhile buffing the easy to play characters, best example being Ana and Mercy. Ana needs to land 1/
shots to heal or kill, mercy just does point and click beam healing, so shouldn't the one that takes skill, naturally do more? Instead 2/
Blizzard punishes players who put time into and got good with ana for basically being too good, and buffed Mercy to the point you can't 3/
ChancellorMatt
you've never played competitive have you...
Not overwatch but I'm a gold.rank in rainbow 6 siege. Which is not as salty but team killing fuckheads exist
TheAccursedHamster
From what i've seen, the community is quickly turning into LoL amounts of bad.
TheGriffin
Which is exactly why I don't play it. Leave it while it's not a pain
Mrflufikins
I LIKE THE PORN
Bortus
The competitive can actually be really wholesome if you're wholesome. Generally people are salty though.
Haskuu
I used to play a lot, until the FOV issues got to me too much. The way they calculate FOV is weird, and makes it hard to play melee heroes
DickDastardly404
Its got some pretty major problems in terms of balance and rewarding gameplay. Quick match feels like a waste of time, but solo queue 1/2
In competitive/ ranked is like trying to get blood from a stone in terms of ranking up. Its just impossible. They need to introduce 1.5/2
Some way of rewarding the player for playing quickmatch, or soloing in ranked, cause atm thats what drives me away from the game. 2/2
RealScienceMan
I've played exactly 0 games of overwatch and the memes are my favorite thing.
ninthjake
Been playing overwatch since the release. it's honestly still fun but the community is unbelievably toxic, especially in the ranked mode.
Paperstars
HAHAHAHAHA!....Oh, wait. Sorry, first reaction seeing this. Trust me, get a good group of friends to play and communicate with. Trust. Me.
MagnusBurnsidesTheFighter
I’ve had so much fun playing competitive on console, but all my friends who play it on PC say comp is toxic af.
I’m sure console OW has its shitty folks too, I tend to find more of the chill people there though.
CaerRythyr
*Is one of the most toxic games around.*
ThePotatoBandit
arcade is the way to go, deathmatch, team death match, and mystery heroes are personally my favorites. not perfect but a lot of fun.
buttheadaswell
bring back no limits tbh
supermandan225
Bring back capture the flag
TheBlizzardWizard
That’s all my friends and I play. And it’s only so we can hang out. I’m looking for another game for us.
DiabloGrandeArts
Mayhem gets pretty fun, too
Hate mystery heroes...but my God, I love Mayhem, and the neverending insanity of it.
blakeatwork
*Misery Heroes, some nights
yea I wish it wasn't unlimited mystery heroes, if the other team get duplicates of certain heroes it just gets ridiculous.
It's a fun setting, as long as you go into it knowing that at some point, RNGesus is going to bend you over
EarlGreyOrDeath
Live by the RNGesus, Die because the RNGesus gave them three Bastions.
And two shields, with Mercy or Moira
My favorite has been the 5 torb 1 mercy payload on attack. It was "make it rain" but with armor.
It's a fun game but the community is one of the worst I've ever been a part of.
acrobatman
[faint laughter from League of Legends]
WhatzitTooya
Sounds like any other popular multiplayer game ever.
SmolRat
Lol it’s pretty tame toxicity wise imo.
binaryman
Honestly though, If you stay away from competitive it’s usually not toxic, always fun and games. Learned that the hard way.
TheyHaveAThinCandyShellSurprisedYouDidntKnowThat
lol i played widow earlier in qp. i had 15 headshots and 70% accuracy but it was still my fault we lost. never know who you’ll get teamwise
Yeah, I tried that, until I get my shit wrecked by an arrogant 1,000 Genji main.
WooNeat
Nah it's way less salty than LoL ... Also really depends on what rank, I've had great experiences with teamwork and positive vibes in lower
tameturaco
Toxic at every rank, equal to LoL/CS:GO/whatever.
ChrsiPuff
not at all equal to CS:GO, It was the only game I refused to continue playing due to toxicity.
CS:GO or LoL...?
The Devs came out and said that it's so bad it slows down development because they have to deal with all the reports.
kingbudo101
its almost bad as league of legends and thats just a salt mine now
AdmiralAut
It doesn't help that the Dev team is inexperienced and way understaffed for game the size of OW
The Devs are fine, they put out content at a fine rate when they aren't dealing with this.
Putty01
It's probably better to have this size of a development team (they have yet to slow down an event..) rather than train more that takes time
its the right size for what they are doing. Its just small updates and occasionally new characters. dont need a big team for that.
Well. No. The game has sold 65 million copies, it's not a little indie game, it needs a big team.
Sharkuu
isnt it always like that? dota2/lol/ow/csgo, all popular multiplayergames with a chat are toxic. hs? toxic as fuck with that emote spam
you can really feel how mad they are when they start spamming emotes. games with not so much toxicity? sc2 and rl, but still pretty toxic
if you play on lower ranking or just get assholes
IvnWng
Every fandom/community is toxic...except for Warframe.
Whatupium
Considering i've heard of youtubers being banned because of negative reviews about the game, the community is fine, it's the devs that suck.
Even Warframe.
TuboThePanda
Nah
Morkboosic
Can’t tell if irony or being serious.
Oh no i mean it. I love how cool the community can be.
Regibazookista
The creativity expressed by individuals that like overwatch is pretty cool. I can agree with that
For sure!
EhIsForCanehdians
It used to be fun, but the community is actually really toxic now, probably one of the most in all of gaming.
SuspiciousCharacter
Yup
lpooptoomuch
it gets toxic in competitive when nobody has a fucking mic
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
I've put hundreds of hours into ranked CSGO and Dota 2. Overwatch is maybe not the most toxic, but it IS the most salty, holy SHIT.
Out of the three, that is.
erischilde
Outside that player.. The artists... Anyways what do you expect when full 3d render porn was available before the game was? Lol
I guess community made porn didn't exactly spell out 'horribly toxic, unplayable mess of a competitive game', my bad.
SarminBandit
This!
cheeseguy3412
I want a map in the dead sea, just for all the salt jokes.
Zyrin
So like almost any game with a community....
grammarfairy
Any super competitive game like Overwatch or LoL is.
MessedUpAaron
It's the actual worst. I turn text chat off, and never TeamSpeak. Also most days you have to turn the sound for "group up" "I need healing"
those are button mashers
Spammed as well.
dogiecat
hon hon hon. Go play LoL son.
dantedemanour
Hon hon hon? Are you a frenchman coward? Not strong enough to play a man's game
NotWelcomehere
No he was just mentioning heroes of newarth three times....
I've played LoL since season 3 it doesn't come close. Admittedly LoL was horrible, but I'd say it's gotten better.
Having played both fairly recently I honestly believe OW is worse than LoL somehow in terms of community.
I play both and I think OW is worse due to the sense of urgency. You gotta have things right, right from the start.
See I read that and I really feel bad that it becomes this toxic. I feel like it's less the games fault and more of what could be done to
Moderate the shitty personalities. I know there is bad in all games but truly I think the game has a lot of fun aspects to it.
Overwatch has only been out a year and a half. They're still getting their shit sorted.
1) They have so far to go. People just don't want to work together. Each play is looking for a similar outcome, but they all have different
Has it truly only been that long? Gosh it feels like.forever
Everyone keeps saying this but I don't see it.
[deleted]
So you must be trash or salty? We can both make blind baseless assumptions. Anywho 3450ish & played comp all seasons but S1. I've had fun.
kibateo
Definitely not just you, i'm confident these people don't play enough games to say this.
Have you played much competitive ow?
Every season but S1. Comp & 4v4 Deathmatch are the only modes worth playing IMO.
TheOneBugs
As a LoL player.... I laugh at your misfortune.
I've played LoL since season three, and it doesn't compare.
Maybe if LoL had voice chat. Also it's next to impossible to carry a toxic team in ow because there is no scaling
jva346
Having played both, I'd rather deal with LoL players. That's how bad its getting.
Honestly, LoL has improved a lot, cracking down on toxicity and rolling out the honor system has done lots to fix the problem. Offer loot >
if the players can behave -> players start shutting up and raging at the monitor, not at their team.

WhatzitTooya
Sounds like any other popular multiplayer game ever.
SmolRat
Lol it’s pretty tame toxicity wise imo.
binaryman
Honestly though, If you stay away from competitive it’s usually not toxic, always fun and games. Learned that the hard way.
TheyHaveAThinCandyShellSurprisedYouDidntKnowThat
lol i played widow earlier in qp. i had 15 headshots and 70% accuracy but it was still my fault we lost. never know who you’ll get teamwise
HistoricalContext
Yeah, I tried that, until I get my shit wrecked by an arrogant 1,000 Genji main.
WooNeat
Nah it's way less salty than LoL ... Also really depends on what rank, I've had great experiences with teamwork and positive vibes in lower
tameturaco
Toxic at every rank, equal to LoL/CS:GO/whatever.
ChrsiPuff
not at all equal to CS:GO, It was the only game I refused to continue playing due to toxicity.
tameturaco
CS:GO or LoL...?
GrimdogX
The Devs came out and said that it's so bad it slows down development because they have to deal with all the reports.
kingbudo101
its almost bad as league of legends and thats just a salt mine now
AdmiralAut
It doesn't help that the Dev team is inexperienced and way understaffed for game the size of OW
GrimdogX
The Devs are fine, they put out content at a fine rate when they aren't dealing with this.
Putty01
It's probably better to have this size of a development team (they have yet to slow down an event..) rather than train more that takes time
kingbudo101
its the right size for what they are doing. Its just small updates and occasionally new characters. dont need a big team for that.
AdmiralAut
Well. No. The game has sold 65 million copies, it's not a little indie game, it needs a big team.
Sharkuu
isnt it always like that? dota2/lol/ow/csgo, all popular multiplayergames with a chat are toxic. hs? toxic as fuck with that emote spam
Sharkuu
you can really feel how mad they are when they start spamming emotes. games with not so much toxicity? sc2 and rl, but still pretty toxic
Sharkuu
if you play on lower ranking or just get assholes
IvnWng
Every fandom/community is toxic...except for Warframe.
Whatupium
Considering i've heard of youtubers being banned because of negative reviews about the game, the community is fine, it's the devs that suck.
Pootisborn
Even Warframe.
TuboThePanda
Nah
Morkboosic
Can’t tell if irony or being serious.
CommanderCaribou
Oh no i mean it. I love how cool the community can be.
Regibazookista
The creativity expressed by individuals that like overwatch is pretty cool. I can agree with that
CommanderCaribou
For sure!
EhIsForCanehdians
It used to be fun, but the community is actually really toxic now, probably one of the most in all of gaming.
SuspiciousCharacter
Yup
lpooptoomuch
it gets toxic in competitive when nobody has a fucking mic
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
I've put hundreds of hours into ranked CSGO and Dota 2. Overwatch is maybe not the most toxic, but it IS the most salty, holy SHIT.
MetalRearSolidVThePhantomPeen
Out of the three, that is.
erischilde
Outside that player.. The artists... Anyways what do you expect when full 3d render porn was available before the game was? Lol
EhIsForCanehdians
I guess community made porn didn't exactly spell out 'horribly toxic, unplayable mess of a competitive game', my bad.
SarminBandit
This!
cheeseguy3412
I want a map in the dead sea, just for all the salt jokes.
Zyrin
So like almost any game with a community....
grammarfairy
Any super competitive game like Overwatch or LoL is.
MessedUpAaron
It's the actual worst. I turn text chat off, and never TeamSpeak. Also most days you have to turn the sound for "group up" "I need healing"
lpooptoomuch
those are button mashers
MessedUpAaron
Spammed as well.
dogiecat
hon hon hon. Go play LoL son.
dantedemanour
Hon hon hon? Are you a frenchman coward? Not strong enough to play a man's game
NotWelcomehere
No he was just mentioning heroes of newarth three times....
EhIsForCanehdians
I've played LoL since season 3 it doesn't come close. Admittedly LoL was horrible, but I'd say it's gotten better.
GrimdogX
Having played both fairly recently I honestly believe OW is worse than LoL somehow in terms of community.
Longinus212
I play both and I think OW is worse due to the sense of urgency. You gotta have things right, right from the start.
CommanderCaribou
See I read that and I really feel bad that it becomes this toxic. I feel like it's less the games fault and more of what could be done to
CommanderCaribou
Moderate the shitty personalities. I know there is bad in all games but truly I think the game has a lot of fun aspects to it.
Longinus212
Overwatch has only been out a year and a half. They're still getting their shit sorted.
EhIsForCanehdians
1) They have so far to go. People just don't want to work together. Each play is looking for a similar outcome, but they all have different
CommanderCaribou
Has it truly only been that long? Gosh it feels like.forever
KingKrown
Everyone keeps saying this but I don't see it.

So you must be trash or salty? We can both make blind baseless assumptions. Anywho 3450ish & played comp all seasons but S1. I've had fun.
kibateo
Definitely not just you, i'm confident these people don't play enough games to say this.
EhIsForCanehdians
Have you played much competitive ow?
KingKrown
Every season but S1. Comp & 4v4 Deathmatch are the only modes worth playing IMO.
TheOneBugs
As a LoL player.... I laugh at your misfortune.
EhIsForCanehdians
I've played LoL since season three, and it doesn't compare.
EhIsForCanehdians
Maybe if LoL had voice chat. Also it's next to impossible to carry a toxic team in ow because there is no scaling
jva346
Having played both, I'd rather deal with LoL players. That's how bad its getting.
YourWaifuIsTrash
Honestly, LoL has improved a lot, cracking down on toxicity and rolling out the honor system has done lots to fix the problem. Offer loot >
YourWaifuIsTrash
if the players can behave -> players start shutting up and raging at the monitor, not at their team.
