I feel like I need to learn Lucio because often the team needs a healer. Do you just stand next to people to keep them healed and switch to the speed buff when there's no danger around?


Lucio's healing range is 30 meters, which is freaking huge in this game. So you don't "stand" next to anything ever, you move like a motherfucker all the time and mix it with wall riding until your enemies give up on hitting you. Then you click your "amp it up" for healing whenever it comes out of cooldown and there's people around, no need to think too much about it. Occasional speed boost here and there, and the ultimate for saving the group or pushing on targets.
edit: oh and all that leaves you to hit your M1 all the time at enemy targets

We were defending on Hollywood. Tracer gets play of the game. She lands a good pulse bomb that crushes some people, steps into a side room, turns her back to the wall and emotes, causing the camera to do an EXTREME CLOSEUP on her rear end. Everyone in the server busts up laughing. Tracer: "IT FINALLY WORKED" Me: "YOU WERE TRYING?! OMG" Tracer: "DUDE I'VE BEEN TRYING FOR SO LONG."

I hurt myself laughing.

D.Va is like the Vanilla WoW Paladin. She runs around with a poo poo-ton of HP but never actually does anything.

D.Va's problem is that she's an anti-tank that's worse than McCree and Reaper in every way. She can take any tank 1v1, but her lack of circle-strafe and her center mass critical spot makes it really tricky fighting smaller guys and groups. I think she only shines when you have another tank who plays poorly and you need her to disrupt the other team.

D.Va would be more useful if her role was suppression and she had weapons like the Heavy's gun from TF2.

Mei is honestly really loving strong, I don't see why she wouldn't be picked in comp, maybe they aren't using her right click as much as they could? But she is one of the best stallers in the game, and can block a lot of things idk.

Which is useful because it's such a rare ult that takes forever to build up you have to treat each one like the precious commodity it is and not get dependable, solid kills against stationary targets who are causing your team trouble. Good call.

The D.Va one feels off. Roadhog/Zenyatta are pretty easy for her, although I guess discord orb is kind of scary? Junkrat is imo not that hard either. Mei is terrible, and obviously you want to get close to snipers but idk.

In the Junkrat thing it says "avoid heroes who can kill you at long range" and then includes Reaper in that group, who really isn't a hero I've had trouble with, at least.

It's like a one right thing, one wrong thing.

Admittedly, I'm not great at the game so I might just be wrong, but vOv.

1) it provides basically no context. why is bastion good against d.va when Defense Matrix is one of the best defensive tools for enabling your team to approach him? does this mean they're all 1v1?

2) lots of them are just like, wrong? i guess? why is Hanzo good against a character who should never peak chokepoints other than to shoot big M2 balls (symmetra) or zen (who he doesn't bodyshot and who is probably too far from the fight to reliably set up headshots against)? why is lucio, an incredibly mobile character, vulnerable to pharah? just because his projectile means he can't hit her? why are you trying to solo a pharah instead of speed boosting away while she fails to hit a single direct rocket? why isn't every hero in Mccree's "strong against" box? who would ever in their right mind say that mei is good against widow??? there's so many of these.

3) on top of it being flat-out wrong, it contradicts itself kinda. it says genji is a great counter to roadhog, but also that roadhog is great at killing genji. ok those aren't TECHNICALLY opposites but like, come on.

Well yes obviously if you have the ultimate and there's nothing better to use it on go ahead and chuck it at Bastion but that can apply to literally any other character in the game so...

Roadhog is really good against D.Va because his M1 shreds armour.

Huh, fair, didn't realize that. I guess I was thinking just 1v1, it's pretty easy to negate his first clip and then just kill him as mech or pilot before he can dps you down, but I can see how that would be a pretty tough time when it's not just the two of you.
