DreamShipWrecked posted:Of all things, McCree. I just can't find a role for him. With no escape or self-healing ability he is tough to play as a flanker, and his pistol doesn't have reliable enough DPS to make him a sniper. He is strongest as a skirmisher but only in places with a lot of blind corners since he has relatively low health and the flashbang/fan the hammer combo requires you to be right in their face. He just doesn't seem to have a role that another character doesn't do better other than that mcree is ridiculously good His role is to stay close to the rest of the team and murder anything that gets remotely close. On some maps you can even wander off on your own because any enemy you come across around the corner will be a free kill if they're alone flashbang->fan the hammer->theyshouldbedeadbutifthey'renot->roll->instantly fan the hammer again

treat posted:I had the exact same experience but due to the lack of flankers. Tracer and genji were dogpiling on the cart with the rest of the team instead of patrolling the flanks which reaper was repeatedly using to slap my zenyata down. He even team killed us with death blossom multiple times. Have you considered getting on voice chat and yelling at them? I think that is what I'm going to do from now on. I like playing solo sometimes because I don't have to wear my headphones with the micrphone attachment and I can just enjoy the game's excellent sound on my decent PC speakers, but nah son, anymore solo queue from now on and I'm gonna get domineering via voicechat if the team is being retarded.

I just learned from seagull's twitch that with torbjorn you can build a turret on a health pack and it'll eat the health pack to heal itself, lmao.

He just doesn't seem to have a role that another character doesn't do better other than that The way I've heard McCree described, he is NOT a flanker, he is an ANTI-flanker. He doesn't have the mobility to wander off on his own to sneak up, and is best played sticking with the team and picking off the enemy flankers. I am poo poo with him though mostly because each time I play him I manage to completely forget about a different ability. Sometimes I forget he has a flashbang. Sometimes I forget he can fan the hammer. Sometimes I forget he has a reloading dodge-roll. Spanish Manlove posted:Bring back random mode. If you want you could post about that on the Blizzard Overwatch forums to try and catch their eye.

It was way better for learning how to play different heroes, which would make a lot of sense for a fresh launch and not the open beta aka net test aka free demo period. People just getting into the game can use that mode to learn how to play. Meanwhile I'm sucking rear end in solo queue with like a 1/6 win loss ratio because I'm the only try hard dork trying to play a team game like a team game.

6 stacking is so much fun. Did it with some Sub.io goons last night. We only lost a few games and mostly to other, far more coordinated, 6 stack teams. Having even minor communication just makes stomping pubbies so easy.

Use your mobility to try and flank their team. Climb up to ledges to get above everyone. You want to have it so that you're squishing them between your team and your ult. They either have to run towards enemies or backpedal into you. Use your shift ability to close the gap on anyone running away. Focus healers and squishy folks. Smacking a tank around while they're getting healed will just get you killed.

Kill supports first, use dash more aggressively than you do outside your ult (it resets on any kill during Dragonblade, so you can use it to initiate on new targets), jump around a lot so you're hard to track, don't spend the whole time swinging at a tank, and try not to spaz out too much.

TIL that the Payload in Hollywood actually has a guy inside it who comments on the match. When you wipe the enemy team on point A he'll sometimes say "..Hello? Anyone out there?"

If you want a random mode back, you could bump my thread calling for Mystery Heroes to be added in as a permanent game mode back to the front page. I'm pretty sure bumping it myself is frowned upon, if not outright breaking the rules.

I have the same problem with Genji as I have with ultimate Winston, I simply can't get the melee attack to connect with anything, it just does nothing but swing and hit empty air, and I die without causing any damage.

Fat_Cow posted:So you can't leave Quick Matches without penalty?

It's a good system, and is also extremely generous unless you're leaving, like, 4 or 5 games in a row.
