- Its funny how you can't lose with 2 Winstons in pub games (in this launch week at least), the enemies simply don't know how to deal with them

I can't help but feel like people at mid level MMR are like... embarrassed to play Reaper like those bottom-feeder plebs and just for some idiot reason forego the guy who just loving deletes Winston off the face of the planet.

So I gotta ask: who do people consider the weakest/worst character in general?

You'd think her cannons wouldn't do such piddly damage considering it's a loving mecha. Or at least wouldn't slow her down when she's firing.

A good Zenyetta is a nightmare to deal with. Tossing that damage buff on tanks and healers makes for a good time.

Almost every game I've joined lately has had a Lucio on it. Frees me up to do some grand fuckery.

If the point of matchmaking is to keep the Win/Lose counter at 50% and puts you up against much better/much worse players to achieve this, it's a very bad matchmaking algorithm.

Matchmaking should be about Fun™ and the most fun thing ever in a game like this is fighting against someone of your same skill level. Thus, MMR should strive to put you with and against people of a similar caliber so you can all duke it out in fairness. :3:

Zenyatta is the only hero I haven't played outside of training yet. It just seems like keeping up with your orbs while trying not to die instantly is way more stress than I want to deal with.

Symmetra but only because of limited scope. I can't find a use for her outside of placing harassment turrets on stage 1 defense, where she admittedly owns. KOTH maps or offense I just don't even know.

Yeah the shields are cool and the teleporter is nice but redundant if/when the opposing team caps - it's too hard to get around behind them to place another and 1v1 with almost anyone is certain death. I have gotten some decent kills but I think anyone skilled would take her out.

Then again I may just be horrible. :shrug:

If we need a tank he picks D.va. If we need a support he picks Zenyatta. If he's not playing either of those, he's playing Hanzo.

I'd like it if Blizzard removed the "No Sniper" tip when selecting heroes. You never seem to get a "No Builder" tip when playing defense but "No Sniper" shows up every game and I would like less of my teammates to pick Hanzo.

I love fighting roadhog as tracer because it basically just turns into death by a thousand cuts for roadhog and he can't do anything about it. i'd much rather fight a roadhog than a wintson or dva, much easier to avoid taking damage. Not a fan of Zarya but it's doable.

Mei because most players actively hinder team progress with her. Improper ability placement hurts your team and the benefits are done better by other characters.

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.

Once you get right up in someone's face the miniguns do plenty of damage. Use her boosters to get into flank positions and you'll be a less glass cannon-y Reaper.

He retains control of the RIP-Tire and is brought back to the death cam as soon as the Tire detonates.

If you catch him right as he's setting it off, you can just shoot the tire while it's stationary in front of him and kill the ult entirely. I mean you can kill the tire at any point but what I'm saying is it's completely safe and harmless to do here and then you have a surprised Junkrat that you have the jump on.
