I hate this game. I think it's good and all but it's another loving game where I'm stuck always being healer because nobody else can ever be hosed to.

Which heroes work best with Symmetra? McCree seems to work well, Reinhart doesn't, but this off a gut feeling, not real data.

^^^^ More people are trying Lucio and liking him, hopefully it will balance out.

Dear pseudo professional players, I laud you honing your skills and all, but you're still too obvious when you use a hack that causes your screen to spin 270-degrees to the center of the nearest opponent. Thanks Booyah.

I'm also a big fan of replays showing guys blindly firing widowmaker headshots around corners without xray up MMM HMM SURE

I've found that if I gut it out past the character selection screen and stick to my beautiful Pharah until the match is like 2 seconds from starting, someone will eventually give in and start tanking/healing

The best heroes to combo with symmetra are at least one other support, and whatever else people play on the first point of defense on a handful of maps

I think a scoreboard would definitely be good in competitive mode because it'd help you figure out what needs to change.

In regular mode, nah, there just isn't anything you can do about it. We had a 5 team of goons that went against an all Mei team, and the 6th player was just total dead pubbie weight. We asked nicely, we asked meanly, it didn't matter, he kept trying to Genji them all. I can't imagine having a scoreboard showing us how much he was doing terribly would have really helped the situation at all.

Scoreboard would be alright if it was for 6 man premades, its pretty useless when playing with randoms for several reasons. Like some randoms are just going to play what they wanna play and bitching them out doesn't really improve things. Its ok to lose if you're rolling with randoms, quit getting mad.

If you require a scoreboard to be able to recognize what things your team is/n't doing successfully then I suggest :gitgud:

Pretty much this. If you know enough to know what needs to be changed then you should be able to tell without the assistance of a scoreboard.

It's not like people will listen to you anyway. I had a friend tell a teammate not to run in alone and they refused and continued to bash his head against 6 people at once. I once begged a Reinhardt to change to a different hero in koth and he just ignored me. If people want to gently caress around and play bad, the scoreboard won't help you change their mind.

No one wants to be the single Hanzo/Genji/Tracer/Widowmaker/Reaper on the point.

Zenyatta. Symmetra solves his Widowmaker problem and they complement each other's somewhat weak healing output, while giving some other advantages to the team.

There needs to be a hero with a thunderdome alt, either a small or giant dome that restricts access in or out and you just duke it out inside. Maybe add it to Zenyattas ult imo.

I used to get mad at video games when my team of randoms get stomped. Now that I've gotten good I can clearly tell the difference between bad players and bad teams so I guess the best advice I can give to the hating tracers is to just get gud?
