Anyone else having weird sound delays when it comes down to ults? I've had a few trigger a few seconds after the ult has already started. Its kinda bizarre since I didn't have any of these issues during the beta.

If you can left-click heads, play McCree.

Also his roll has pulled me out of Blizzard and Gravitron Surge in the past.

I have the opposite problem. I can plink people's heads all day, but I haven't pulled off a good high noon once. Usually I get killed while it's charging or I have to fire early and kill nothing.

I been doing better at using High Noon when I sneak around where the enemy team is at and try to catch them off guard. By the time they near "it's high noon" it too late for them to counter.

Catch people off-guard with high noon, aim to kill 2 people with it instead of their team. Unless you're behind a rein shield or something.

The one actual Pro Tip for McCree is you really want to avoid using his right click most of the time. Fan is really good in certain situations, and most people pick up on those quickly, but your M1 is much more reliable and versatile and it murders people super hard (especially if you're landing headshots). When things get dicey it's easy to slam M2 and hope for the best but in almost every situation you're much better off sticking to your primary fire and making sure you aim good.

You'll be seeing a lot of that. The number of tags and sprays compared to everything else is ridiculous.

Personally I pretend that Mei is a Tank character rather than a Defense character. I get that her niche is that she's supposed to be a bulky annoyance, but having a giant wall of ice and an invulnerable self-heal is crossing the threshold from "bulky annoyance" to "I am going to jump into an enemy team and gently caress up everyone's plans".

This also means I deal with her like I would a Tank - just Reincharge her into a wall.

Hold 'c', it brings up a little chat wheel.

A lot of them are automatic, though -- you'll just announce that you're on the point if you are.

Is there a list of which legendary skins do total conversions for abilities and voice lines, like Hanzo's lone wolf skin? I'm curious to see if there's one I should hope for as I slowly collect coins.

people need to figure out the cue for molten core (which should be easy, right?). 90% of all Torbjorn's POTGs would disappear.

Look at objective, hit 'f'

e: This is context-sensitive, if you look at a healer when you hit it it will call out for heals, pointing at Torbjorn calls for armor etc.

Some people I've seen yell "We need a healer!" or "We should attack the point!" As a voice command/chat thing. Both of those are options I don't see on the wheel?

'X' by default is the "I need a healer!" prompt, which is very important as it means your position is immediately superimposed on to Mercy/Lucio/Zenyatta/S76's UI, whereas the "Critical!" health indicator only appears if they are looking in your general direction.

People keep asking for heals when they're "flanking" and that's annoying. Even more annoying is the Hanzo/Widowmaker spamming that poo poo. No, you come here if you wanna get healed, motherfucker.

I actually salvaged a last point Hollywood defense by going Bastion (alongside another Bastion) at the last 30s of the game, which prompted the anger of the other team. Then we decided to try All-Bastion for Volskaya defense and...well, that didn't end up too well.

The biggest motherfucker playing this game is the guy who understands the tanking and supporting classes that work best situation to situation and map to map (in addition to just knowing that you loving need them) is probably the person most qualified to play damage. I've had to drop Lucio for 76 a few times now because apparently just shooting the bastards is some revolutionary act.

I think I do fairly well with 76 but I tend to swap to him out of desperation so my winrate with him is atrocious.

On that note, what actually determines winrate with a hero? I have heroes with winrates with 0 wins out of 0 games--does it somehow derive winrate from playtime? Does the hero you finished a game with determine which hero played/won the game for your records?

Playing consecutive matches, playing with friends, winning, and medaling all affect your xp.
