I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
This game is so so good and man does it make me so so salty sometimes. I loving swear to god some of these goddamned Widowmakers are robots. Bastions are nothing. Widowmakers make me saltier than anything else in this game with their instant headshot loving bullshit gently caress

This game is really good though and I have played nearly the entire day and all night last night so 10/10 Blizz game of the year

Zenyatta is by far my favorite design so far but bodyshotmaker/genji in every game is by far the biggest annoyance to having fun with him. He needs some kind of quick side step or something so you don't have to plod everywhere with the lowest health and become instant food for tracer or genji as soon as they see you. He's really good when people don't run from transcendence. :smith:

Getting potg as zenyatta gets you almost unanimous votes everytime though :smug:

Took off work a bit early to play some. Got home and the power was out in the entire block. :suicide:

Whoever said that they constantly have to pick a Reinhardt or Mercy since no one else on their team does, I feel the same way about Symmetra. The teleporter can easily change the tide of a match but no one picks her.

Agreed. I mostly play Mercy and Junkrat so Bastion rarely bothers me but holy gently caress a good Widowmaker makes me salty like nothing else.

Try to isolate enemies using your ice wall and kill them by freezing them then following up with a icicle headshot. Try to fight in hallways where you can put up an ice wall and use it as a total barrier to run away if the fight goes bad.

Also you contest points while ice blocking. This is useful.

gently caress that I dont even know how to handle a single one.
Also, why choose McCree over Reaper or Soldier 76? You seem to be missing midrange fight potential?

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"

Man I really like Zenyatta but some games my teammates just insist on obstinantely not understanding that I need to have vision of them to heal them.

Then I switch to Lucio and suddenly everyone instantly knows how to handle that (usually, I spent quite a bit of a match solo-pushing the payload earlier)

He has to be played a lot more deliberately than most characters who can do well enough with just "walk forward and shoot mans" but he can mow down squishes and get out somewhat reliably

winston is weird, he's really easy to kill for a lot of popular characters (mccree, roadhog, reaper, tracer) but he also has favorable matchups against popular characters (widow, hanzo, all supports, genji).

that said a lot of his strength comes from (1) stacking two of them and focusing targets down, (2) using his bubbles as something you can dance in and out of to DM people, and (3) not committing to a fight that'll take longer than your leap cooldown unless your team is following. he basically loves to 1v1 squishy heroes and can dive certain healer + tank/dps combos and kill the healer before leaping out, but anything that disables him like a hook or a flashbang ruins his day.

I'm assuming that last one is a bug, but otherwise educational as always.

edit: Man, this game has so many cool graphical touches. I knew that aside from the UI indicator, the energy thing in Zarya's gun got bigger when she gained charge, but I never noticed how it makes her back light up like that.

Soldier 76 is tons better than McCree at mid-range. Agree that reaper is way worse.


Winston is really good to go mess up any snipers, healers, or genjis. There are some other people he can sometimes do good again, and he is terrible against other tanks. He really does well on KOTH maps where you can approach and escape through lots of weird angles, and you have more chances to monkey-punch someone into a pit.

A single headshot from McCree is, like, 4/5ths of your average 200 HP hero's life gone in a single click. S76 is still good, but he doesn't have quite the instant fragging potential of McCree (something that's critically important in a game with a lot of over time healing like this one).
