How the gently caress does literally anybody aim Zarya's beam well enough to make it worth a poo poo? Against even a tank that has any interest in juking around a little, I can't maintain contact for more than split seconds at a time?

Lower your sensitivity and use your strafe keys to aim

Same here! I see her potential and I expected to really like her, but goddamn if I can hit anything with that gun. I do fine, even well, with mei's right click and genji and zenyata's left click, so I don't know what it is. I expected her to be my go-to when I read up on all the characters, but I can't do a drat thing with that stupid laser

Stand down, men! It's only smooching!

I am terrible at this game but I am having fun with it! Just had a loss on the hollywood map where we managed to snatch the payload and then blew it trying to take it away, and didn't even care because the match was a ton of fun. :) A good game!

Faced against a group that had a bastion and whoever can shield and had one on each side on top of the payload and a bastion in the middle :shrug:

I love playing as Zarya but there's a distinct lack of feedback that helps you with things. How do you know you have a shield up? Subtle details in the corner of your screen. How often do you look at the corners of your screen? Very rarely. The beam is really hard to gauge because there's no point of reference. It casts no shadow or light so you can't check the ground under it for its length. Having more info on the crosshairs would go a long way to fixing some of those problems for pretty much all the heroes, in my opinion.

I know I have a shield up because I just hit the shield button

I don't think picking Widow is the issue, it's picking Widow when your team already has a sniper and you're absolute garbage at her.

Zarya is actually based on a real person. She's an artist at Blizzard. (Or at least was at the time.)

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

The laser starts at 80 dps and maxes out at 150

The grenade blast does 45 (95) damage per shot

You use the grenade blast for hitting clumped up enemies, tricky knockbacks, or for long-range lobs while you lumber forward towards your team

How do I feel less helpless playing Zenyatta on a team that doesn't stay close enough together to give line of sight or bodies to hide behind? He's probably the healer I prefer most, but unless there's at least one tank and one defense hero near me, I feel like some flanker or sniper is gonna oneshot me.

I kinda wanna know this too, at least if there's some trick beyond 'strafe to aim and lower sensitivity'

For some reason my Junkrat grenades are on loving point but I'm about as good at Zarya M1 as you are

Hypha

:commissar:
I find that Zarya's laser beam at lower charge to be garbage. It barely tickles it seems. Below 50%, the M2 is a lot better to do something. After you hit around 50%, the beam gets respectable and the grenades start to hurt. At 100%, you are chasing down Reapers and McCrees, laughing like a maniac as they evaporate.

Thankfully, one shield well placed will get you to 50%. Get a partner to face tank something and you are now a monster.

I really like the M2 over the M1 cause splash damage is awesome and you have enough health to brawl with multiple people. You really need that charge up there to engage properly though. A 0% charge is a no go for seriously engaging.
