6 defeats on the trot, enough for tonight. Example team I had: Soldier 76, Reaper, Reaper, Genji and me on Lucio. Sixth person waited for a bit, then also picked Genji. I know it's pot luck, but every match the enemy had a strong roster, and I got the group of "I refuse to play anyone other than genji/hanzo/widowmaker/other fav character". With the occasional fakeout where they'd start as a support or tank and we'd be doing well, before we suddenly stop making progress. Oh hey, our Mercy decided it'd be better if we had a 2nd widowmaker instead of literally anyone else. Anyway before this string of dumb games, played Junkrat for the first time today. I'd just got the highlight reel where he hits himself in the nuts. And whadda you know, one sneaky Ultimate later and everyone else gets to enjoy it. Junkrat is pretty great. I was disappointed that not everyone gets at least one equally silly POTG animation.

Soothing Vapors posted:what is the counter to widowmaker anyway? reaper? drinking until the pain is gone? D.Va and Winston are probably the most straightforward counters, just get all up in their face and mash them. Reaper works well if you're careful and teleport from cover to cover between you and the sniper. Reinhardt will enable basically anyone with a modicum of range to help take down Widowmaker. Tracer can reach high ledges if you know where staircases to roofs are and use your dash to cross the gaps, but it's highly dependent on what map it is. genji

Oh on scoreboard discussion, I think the end of the match voting thing is really cool. Are the 4 heroes that show up the same for everyone in the match?

So what's the exact formula for the Roadhog instant kill? Just hook and alt fire headshot? Maybe I just need practice, but it seems inconsistent.

Wait until the target is pulled into you, press primary fire button for the Short range shotgun and enjoy the kill, Tanks Need 2 shots tho if it's not point blank/head iirc

It's hard not to pick Symmetra when defending the first objective. That Teleporter can really punish the other team. Other abilities are decent. Finding sneaky places to put turrets, denying areas with massive slow moving orbs people still inevitably run into, or killing people who think Reinhardt will keep them safe. And with enough jumping around, or if the enemy is distracted, that short range beam will just poo poo out damage like nobody's business. Symmetra is fun ya'll.

Suspicious Cook posted:So what's the exact formula for the Roadhog instant kill? Just hook and alt fire headshot? Maybe I just need practice, but it seems inconsistent. ok so this is going to sound rude but you're the second person who has mentioned this today so, why are people assuming roadhog's M2 has any role in his hook kill combo (aside from the ranged variant for tanks)? does the ingame tool-tip imply that or something? it does 50 damage close range, it's never worth using if your opponent is up in your business. the combo is hook > M1 > melee. the melee animation cancels the M1 so it comes out very quickly. this won't always instantly kill because hook is weird and often doesn't put people directly in front of you, and different characters have different hitboxes so you have to aim at different parts (sometimes the head is better, othertimes the waist, etc), and some characters have escape options from a long-range hook. still, that's the general idea, so practice that. sometimes its worth not using the melee and just waiting to M1 again since melee only does 30 damage, but again you figure that out as you play - each bar of health represents 25 HP so if they have more than one bar after the M1 you should probably just M1 again. the M2 variant is M2 > hook > M1 > melee, you use this if your opponent has a lot of health and you can land a proper ranged M2.

I've been doing this a lot but you sometimes have to specify that you still need a healer because not everyone realizes that's not Symmetra's job. They just look, see no note about supports and windmill slam their hand to the mouse to pick Genji or Hanzo. Also if your team is hot garbage, going Symmetra will basically doom you where swapping to a damage class might pull it out. Basically either need a team you can trust from the get-go or need to get a quick read on whether your team can even make use of her.

D.va's ult shouldn't make her eject until you press Q a second time. That way I can kamikaze charge the enemy team instead of them seeing and hearing the mech coming from a mile away and casually hiding behind some random lamp post to completely avoid all damage.

Try boosting and ejecting straight up, or alley oop it. People tend to not notice or realize where it is when it's above them, and they've got much less time to hide.

Got a quintuple kill with Reaper's death blossom feeling like a badass... and then promptly fell off a cliff, It was play of the game so everyone got a good laugh  . Wish I had saved it but oh well.Whats the best way to play with goons? I am pretty bad but I have have more wins than losses (23/39) which is making me feel a little ok about my performance. I am jealous of all the people good with Genji, he looks like alot of fun but every time I play him I die really fast so I mostly stick with simpler Heroes like Reaper, Pharah, Junkrat and Bastion ATM.

RMB->Hook->LMB->Melee will kill all the little guys. The middling guys require everything to land, the little ones maybe just the LMB. The trick do doing his things is to not miss your poo poo and to animation cancel as much as you can to keep efficiently active (RMB into hook, reload into heal), etc. Don't use the RMB up close it does 50 damage max if it doesn't reach the spread range.

Is there a way to boost the score per round? Right now I am making 2,500 - 3,500 points per round, even on a spectacular round with a 20 kill streak, 5 medals and PotG tops out at 3,500ish. I know that grouping adds 20%, but are there other achievements that boost the tally? Edit: It doesn't seem to make a difference if you get one or three gold medals, the bonus is always 150xp... should at least be 150xp each. mcbexx fucked around with this message at 02:14 on May 27, 2016 |

There is an obnoxious point where RMB won't explode but LMB's spread is a bit too high.

I find that Soldier 76 is actually decent against Widowmaker. They tend to stand still and landing helix rockets will force her to go away. Plus you have perfect accuracy on the first shot or two so you can plink her to death too. I'm sure it doesn't work against very good ones but I haven't met any of those yet.
