Their ults are almost polar opposites Zarya can rescue teammates Zarya's laser is like 5x the effective range of Roadhog's primary for its optimal damage I guess they both can self-sustain by hiding around a corner and waiting a little bit? Otherwise I really don't see the similarities

Thanks to a well-timed enemy Mercy ult I got a septuple kill as Pharah earlier. Probably the biggest kill score I will ever get.

This made me laugh pretty hard. We steamrolled this guy's team and he wasn't really a big fan of the hero choices his team made: Also jesus christ Junkrat is so good. He's good in loving any situation. His tire is ridiculous if you can get it behind enemy lines without getting shot. His whole toolkit is so much fun. He's easily one of the most interesting characters in the game, TF2 Demoman ain't got nothin on this guy

Zarya is much more of a team player. Also she doesn't give your opponent their daily allotment of ult charge by her lonesome.

The Missing Link posted:I have this achievement. Attacking on Temple of Anubis where I got it. Basically, your team has to suck enough that they won't take the point for 10 minutes, but not so lovely that they get overrun and your tele gets destroyed. Also, they have to know your tele even exists. The problem I've seen is that the entrance is just sort of off to the side and is a sky blue color so you can miss it easily. That's a crazy limited window to do that, at least compared to the other heroes. I really want to like her too but it just doesn't stack up with the other heroes. All of them have something to do. She hits E on her teammates when the spawn, puts down annoying turrets and you spam M2 in hopes you do enough damage to put down a teleporter before the enemy team overruns you. I think they should replace her E with the TF2 engineer's aid station. I think that would be a better use of abilities.

We did a capture objective A then B map tonight and it took us like 1 minute to capture both. We just ran to the first one capped it then ran to the second one. I have no idea what the other team was doing. Another map the other team had 4 D.Va's and they were tough as hell to dislodge, couldn't take the objective.

They're very different characters because Zarya is an actual Tank and is good at saving teammates and herself from damage with her shields and then punishing enemies who try to fight through them where Roadhog is really a Defence hero that has a lot of HP and is good at catching enemies out of position and then murdering them.

How the gently caress does Zarya lockdown a side route with her 3 second shields and poo poo damage? Get more than one person on her and she's done.

That's the theory but the practice doesn't quite hold up - especially for a support hero. And spamming alt fire is hardly a fun and engaging gameplay mechanic. Torbjorn at least has to run around to pick up scrap for his armor packs and his gun is very useful in close quarters.

The single worst part about playing Symmetra is having to flick your cursor over every single teammate to make sure they're already shielded up, especially if you lose track of who's died (and who hasn't) because you were busy firing off energy balls or lasering enemiesMinrad posted:enjoy some more fishy as gently caress Hanzo arrows Look at that Symmetra kill and tell me your immediate reaction isn't "No way"
