Discovering what McCree's right click does certainly changed my view of him. It's the only way I can get revenge on those players that usually pound the crap out of me. Got a game ending PotG by running onto the point from a side entrance and fan killing a dude, roll/flash/fan killing the person next to him and then roll/fan killing the final defender. I think the only time I use his primary is in the spawn room to shoot basketballs.

they really need to limit the rate of turn on bastion and the target acquisition time on Torbjorn's turret.

Kehveli posted:I wish the potg algorithm recognized mercy plays that literally saved the entire game for a team even if they don't involve using a resurrect. I know it's more than a little petty but sometimes you fly around and get everyone topped off and recognize when they'll burst and give them the extra damage needed and it would be nice to get that seen sometime as well. I got PotG once on Mercy. Was it the time I kept all 5 teammates alive for 6+ minutes defending point B on Temple of Anubis? No Was it any of the times I've managed to cross over the entirety of the map to save someone who is fighting 3 people and was about to die? No Was it the time that my team got wiped by a bastion sitting in a corner and I rezzed 3 of them so that they could immediately die to that bastion again? Yes. That was my PoTG. Charging Bastion's ult further was my game changing contribution.

The Shortest Path posted:It looks a lot like TF2 and the game types are the same, but it ends up playing way differently. There are characters that fit a much larger variety of playstyles and gameplay types, so if you're a heavy quake/ut player or a counterstrike player or a tf2 player you'll find some characters that feel similar to whatever game you're coming from. Pharah is 100% the hero of choice for those of us who grew up on Q3 Arena. Someday I'll be good with her, too.

I learned today against a level 48 person (how...how..) that Mei is surprisingly strong against McCree because flashbang into a full fan is not fast enough to kill her before she can ice herself, unless you are maybe point blank and manage to get the headshots in.

You can't headshot with fan, but you should easily be able to kill Mei if you fan immediately after the Flashbang at point-blank.

Anyone know if you get penalized for leaving during the setup phase? Or is it only during the match proper? I know the game stops caring as soon as Victory/Defeat pops up on the screen.

Ok I'm sort of acceptable (by my awful standards) as Junky, Pharah and Lucio now. Now I just need a tank to fall in love with and I'm all set forever. e: Also it turns out Pharah's ultimate can hurt her and even if you can't see a small beam in front of where you're hovering, your rockets can still hit it and kill you. I don't think anyone saw.

mr. stefan posted:I've gotten multiple triple kills and at least one teamkill with d.va's ult, people really underestimate how useful boosting up is. I don't know, I think once people get hit by it once or twice they'll pretty much never get killed by it again even when you try the trickier stuff like boosting it over a wall/coming from above. If you hear the voice clip you're pretty much safe It's still useful for scattering the team/getting them off the objective but I haven't had much luck getting more than one or two kills at a time

Vermain posted:You can't headshot with fan, but you should easily be able to kill Mei if you fan immediately after the Flashbang at point-blank. I mean it seems like you have to be insanely close or something. If they are hammering Ice Cube, you only get 4 shots off fan assuming you start firing the absolute same nanosecond as you hit the flashbang, which you won't, so you'll probably only get 3. It seemed to own me repeatedly.

I know the game stops caring as soon as Victory/Defeat pops up on the screen. I don't think you do. You'll see a warning somewhere on the screen if you do, then if you leave another game you'll see the penalty at the bottom of the after-game screen. So if no warning, you're golden.

limited posted:One thing every Mercy player I've seen so far ( including myself until recently ) forgets, is that she has a pistol. And it's not actually that bad. I love her pistol. It's fantastic a medium range which is great because every reaper/tracer that comes in to flank you expects an easy kill and if you just back up while shooting (or leap back if someone is near you) you can either put ridiculous damage on them or just get the kill. Reaper moreso than tracer because a tracer will just dart way if they start losing and you have no ability to chase. It's also very good if you are with a Reinhardt and he has shield up and the rest of your team is dead with no rez possible. You can put out some solid damage there. Outside of those two situations, though, I have been partial to switching to damage buff when everyone is full because I really suck at fps and can't land shots. Changing my Mercy bindings so that your beam locks on and fires without you having to hold down left or right mouse button was also a huge eye opener when I found out you could do that.

One of my Mercy potg's was me healing a couple folks from near death, switching to her zapper for three kills, then back to her staff for a damage boost to our gattling gun bastion. All those years of disc priest healing in wow finally (sort of) paying off.  Steve2911 posted:Now I just need a tank to fall in love with and I'm all set forever. The answer is D.Va. duh.

Tender Bender posted:I was browsing the characters on the main site and skimming the little blurbs about their backgrounds, which were typically fun light fluff that you'd expect from the aesthetic. Until I got to Widowmaker who was brainwashed and murdered her husband in his sleep. I've dug a little deeper and it turns out all of Mad Max is pretty much canon in Overwatch. That's just what Australia is now.

Salty as gently caress right now. Playing as Pharah on Route 66, I barraged and wiped the healer, the tank, the enemy pharah and their hanzo and allowed us to make a push onto the payload. What was the actual POTG? Reinhardt in a tunnel swinging like a retard. GG Blizzard.

McCree's basically the 'Bastion' of the offense heroes. Like he's absolutely the slowest and least mobile of the bunch, but he's insanely powerful in an upfront fight. His primary fire isn't even that weak, headshots of it at range can land some pretty good unexpected kills. Of course, the devastating flashbang/fan the hammer combo means that he's the end-all in taking down other flankers, which makes him an unexpectedly good defense choice.

Playing the objective gives you bonus points because it contests/pushes the cart, so it's possible Reinhardt was within range to do that while killing people. It's a pretty objective way of looking at how beneficial certain actions are.
