I look at my player statistics and the recurring themes are 1) We lose if I play tank and 2) I am hot garbage with McCree. Now maybe it's because I mostly choose to tank on awful Payload offenses and surely some of it is due to taking me off Damage, where I'm pretty strong. But I've got to face the possibility that I might also just be a bad tank. What can I watch or read to get better? As far as I can tell my biggest weakness is not knowing when people behind me have split off or died (The kill feed being a billion miles away from the action isn't helpful). Obviously mic communication goes a long way here but I'm not a comp player. Getting 6 people on the mic and actually talking about what's happening and where is not a meaningful plan of action for me. As to McCree it always feels like if I'm alone I'm gonna die eventually and having no mobility and pubs being pubs, I will never achieve the dream of moving with a group that can protect each other.

So it doesn't appear that McCree's revolver has a transfer bar in it, which means that seeing as how he's running around with six shots all the time and is rolling around constantly there's a chance he might blow his dick off by accident if the hammer hits the primer. So nerf idea: There's a chance of you blowing your own dick off if you combat roll without an empty revolver.

Countblanc posted: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? I was expecting the list to be terrible, but in general it is all pretty decent. Most of it doesn't seem to be talking about 1v1, but talking about when everyone is playing their hero somewhat well. The only one that really feels off to me is genji, just because the only engaging I think he should do on tanks is long range stars to build meter. If you're wondering why Hanzo is good against anyone with 200 or less hp, it is because it is super easy to 1-shot them with scatter shot. If you get a good bounce you can even get the 250 hp guys. Lucio in somewhat restricted areas is pretty easy to hit as pharah, and your only option is to run and hope you make it. I'd say that counts as "strong against". Mei is listed as strong against widow because you use your ice wall to restrict her line of sight while your team moves past the area she is covering. They're solid general tips, and I'd view specific map/point/comp setups as the exception rather than the norm. Like "Don't Torb on Offense" is a solid rule of thumb, though some specific spots it can be good (some payload maps, maybe something like hana B to throw a turret+ult on the high ground with the push).

Bust Rodd posted:Been running Genji super effectively, i'm only lvl 11 but I feel like I can carry in heavy fights. My favorite thing to do is flanking Widowmaker & Hanzo and then murdering them with their own poo poo. Wall climbing, dashing and double jumping let you move in and out of the fight effortlessly and you can go from the wrong end of a Widow's scope to right up her butt in no time flat. I have also successfully dbl-jump dashed up to a Pharah and the E-flected her entire ult to her face. RULES OF NATURE I wish I could play him now

I wish Mei was better competitively (or just more used) because a good Mei is crazy fun to look at. I'm watching A_Seagull playing her now and he does some absolutely insane stuff with Ice Walls

One thing I hate about legendaries is that you can't see the weapons syou can't tell if they're different. On the off chance someone has Siberian Front Zarya, what's the gun look like? (And do you have weird textures going on on her coat?)

The problem with Symmetra's shield is buffing every single teammate with it every time they die is just mind bogglingly boring. It should be something like Zarya's shield that's actually interesting to use.

I'm usually a big fan of the "buff support" role in games, but individually buffing every teammate has never been fun and Blizzard of all companies should really know this by now. Lùcio does it way better with his auras, and I think it would be cool if Symmetra had a similar mechanic.

I played a game where we all picked 76. We were all soldiers now. We actually did real good. So now I am wondering what the best gimmick monoteam is. Chain hooking woth roadhog sounds aMAIzing but I can't help but think that max Winston would be the best.

What if you could build a wall that when passed through by your team they got the shield So you could just slap it down somewhere in an entry way and people would just walk through and get it, buff the shield amount but make the deployer destroyable like her other poo poo.

I am doing it. I am embracing becoming the cancer that is Mei. And I must say it is incredibly cathartic to be on the giving end of the icicle. Also, in lieu of shields, I feel like teleporter needs to be moved to a regular skill, and having something else as an ult. Again, I hate to bring up the comparison, but TF2 mitigated the impact of the teleporter by having it cool down in between uses. I feel that with a sufficiently long cooldown, you could make it useful without leaving her stuck on 0% bar until the teleporter is consumed. (That said I am biased towards my beloved Prism Princess and her laser chainsaw with BFG attachment.) SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 11:25 on May 27, 2016 |

Symmetra ult is two giant car wash scrubbers that come in from the side of the map and kill everyone on both teams except you, so you can play with your hard light construct trains in peace.

Random whimsical idea for a replacement ability: That light bridge that she makes in the comic. I'd love to be able to ferry the entire team across from the bell to the balcony from A -> B on Hanamura, for example.

I'm not sure which stage it is but as a Mercy main I sure don't like that stage with the bright green grass and beautiful blue sky. Like on an aesthetic level I apprecaite it but everything there is so light colored that I feel like I'm straining my eyes trying to see players' white health bars against that backdrop.

Help Im Alive posted:A week from now no one will ever get killed again by Hanzo/D.Va ultimates, right You can use your boost to arc the dva mech and if you can flank and do it at a good angle you will clear a point, but hanzo really needs a team to push enemies into his ult, when I hear a hanzo start screaming I meander to the side and avoid the big dumb slow dragons. Really throwing it into the middle of a fight and hoping it spooks the other team is probably the best use of it.

Help Im Alive posted:A week from now no one will ever get killed again by Hanzo/D.Va ultimates, right Hanzo ultimate is always pretty lethal if you fire it so the dragon actually appears directly on the enemy team instead of drifting slowly towards them. If you're directly in the middle of the dragon when it appears you're probably not going to get out in time. Every so often I think "Heck, I'll go D.Va, this might be the time she really clicks for me", and every time I am freshly disappointed. She needs to get up close but is incredibly fragile, she can boost into people but then they just run away because her guns slow her to a crawl. If you're facing more than one person then they will dispatch you in seconds and calmly wait around to kill your 150hp pilot form. Her ult is good at scaring people off a point but a lot of other characters can do that without being mediocre while their ult is down.
