This game works on a steam link but there's a noticeable input latency, not ideal but figured someone would want to know.

I saved my team from a 5 person kill on the point by shooting the tire.

Give it a whirl sometime!

What are some awesome spots for Tolberones turrets? I know the moving environnents are good, any other primo tips? I like getting a boost from Mei at Temple Cap B. Got the chopper skin for him, so need to know this stuff.

Nepal - Sanctum: Any corner around the room is good.
Nepal - Shrine: Behind the pillar to the side of the shrine (the raised area between the two rooms)
Gibraltar Defense: There's a small spot on the tarp infront-and-above of the cart when defending Gibralter you can pop a turret on. You can put turrets up in the walkways of Hanger 18 (where the ship is) which can be quite effective.
King's Row Defense: Right behind the wall in-front of the attacker's spawn, or up high if Mei can help you get there.
Volskaya: Above both points, on either side can work wonders.

Volskaya & Route 66: Yea, using the moving platforms is good, and if you start far enough back you can continually send level-2 turrets their way. Even level 1 turrets over and over can be useful, especially when you're in a spot they can't get you.

Symmetra is the best.

I love placing nests right before health pick ups near objectives and watching the kills rack up

Thanks for being so zenyatta guys. Maybe now I can be the zenyatta I have always dreamed of being!

funny story, I was uploading a video to youtube last night and my internet only has like 1.8 upload on a good day so I was rubberbanding all over the goddamn place and the lag was atrocious

but i played a couple games anyway and the only hero that i could actually still function with was zenyatta. still got several kills and heal cards at the end of game. and we won both. :shobon:

edit: also heres the video if anyone cares. i killed the same bastion twice. *triggered*

If you have no idea how to play Symmetra and are interested, the next time you're defending Hanamura go place your turrets behind the big, open door. Keep popping out from around the door to shoot charged-up M2's. Prepare to dominate.

It sucks to be killed by D.Va's ult when I'm not even on the same axis or even near it. I look up on that one city level and see it exploding on a ledge 200 ft. away and still die.

E: I'm not calling for nerfs or anything but the visual range could be a little more clear.

If you can see the mech itself, it will kill you. The range is incredibly huge. Always break LOS, never expect to be far enough away.

Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.
My problem with Junkrat isn't actually his ult, it's how he shits out damage from odd angles and if you try to get close and smoke him out he just blows you the gently caress up for your trouble. It doesn't happen all the time but whenever I run into a really good Junkrat I end up feeling like "oh god this guy is just raining death on my team and I have no idea how to stop him" and it's kind of a nightmare.

I also really wish Roadhog's hook combo was more consistent and that you had to get a little bit closer before it was a guaranteed kill. It's really frustrating getting hooked from what feels like really far away but having no idea if you'll be able to respond before he murders you or not.

RE: Junkrat's tire

A cool way I've dealt with it as Roadhog was straight up hooking and shooting it. I don't think the tire was actually "stunned" but it never blew up. Probably the Junkrat was just too slow to detonate it.

If you play as Mei or Reaper, you can (should?) actually seek out the tire to bait it out and Ice Block / Ghost away just before it blows up, potentially saving your team with no danger to yourself.

Works just fine in other games, and helps you learn other heroes instead of only being widowmaker and making sicc headshots. Plus it means fighting more varied opponents rather then and endless stream of mcrees, widowmakers, reapers, bastions, and dwarfs.


If you can't beat a bastion reinhardt and mercy then im not sure how you will be able to adjust your team to handle dumb gimmick comps.

The point was that is specific to Anubis as the attackers have only 1 path they must go through in some manner, and 5 dwarfs can turn it into a shooting gallery while not being at risk of being sniped, reapered, or genji'd. It negates all fo the normal counters since you cannot outrange them, cannot get behind or flank them, and cannot adequately reflect back damage from 10 directions.

This is a troll, right? I don't think anyone is this dense.

Let's just ignore the guy calling dwarf stacks op.

If you're trying to play Torb on Hanamura A defense, put a turret right here (it's the overpass that's right above the door leading into the courtyard of A defense)



It's sort of difficult for the enemy to get past the choke unless you swing hard right or left and the turret has vision the entire courtyard and parts of the point itself.

If I could actually remember any map names I would help you. Basically place them at hard turns/points that people cant snipe them from far away. If you wipe a team think about moving the turret so they cant just blindfire kill it on the next rush. If you are annoying the other team will put more effort into you.

You need to stand nearish it and shoot with it, I get alot of the kills with the shotgun.

Zenyatta rules but especially against teams with more than one tank on them. I love soloing some Winston multiple times because he doesn't realize the amount of damage he is taking.

Try playing him almost like a ranged offensive hero instead of following people around giving them your balls. He is super fun.

i feel like zenyatta gets much much better when your team realizes the big golden glowing floaty poo poo is a green light to do what would otherwise be some very dumb stuff


most times when you use his ult around randos though its like "oh, poo poo! zenyatta's doing something! ...lets stand back and see where he goes with this"
