How's the range on that? Isn't it melee range anyway?

You don't have to be right up on someone for it to hit, I knocked a D.Va into the Nepal pit from about 30 or 40% of the distance across the control point. I've also killed a few people with it that were trying to disengage, so they had to be more than a few meters away.

Also if you're trying to launch them off of someplace like the Ilos lighthouse, remember to aim above their heads so the force knocks them up and over the railings.

I've seen this happen so many times, pointed it out to the team and then watched as they lose their poo poo because I get in a huff and switch over to an offense character who can solo a little bit.

gently caress you guys. Listen to the loving support when he loving tells you why he can't loving support you. :byodood:

Me and a friend have been rocking dual Lucio when on the attacker team. We haven't done poo poo quite like that but it's hilarious when you have two Lucio's buffing a team of pubbies to make them heal and move super-fast. When the healer goes down, just have the other Lucio switch tunes while the respawning Lucio waits for a person or two to hustle to the front lines.

I said it before but flankers are good. A team of nothing but flankers is bad. You need people who can do things besides flank. If you are not someone who can comfortably be on a point and two other people on the team are also people who can't comfortably be on a point then maybe become someone who can be on a point so you don't have three frigging Hanzos sitting on the sideline sniping while the enemy just takes the point.

Lucios gun is actually pretty good if you lead a little and aim for the upper torso/head, or against anyone coming straight at you down a choke point. It's actually not to hard to pick off a preoccupied reinhardt/roadhog with it either.

Are you referring to their levels? Those numbers aren't ranks and shouldn't really be seen as such, just playtime. Even then, when trying out a new character, those levels might as well be like 5 (to account for experience on the map and objectives at least). I am in the 70s and this is the first FPS I've played since UT2004, and even that was just in a FFA roaming map vs AI with unlimited rockets for fun. I am not better than level 30-60s, especially if they have some fps experience and fast reflexes. I just happen to have more time played and loot boxes earned than they do.

Reflecting a High Noon is pretty straightforward. I reflected with a headshot, but is that required to kill McCree, or can you just do a (err) body shot?

It's literally the worst gun in the game. Same damage as Mercy's, but shoots slow moving orbs in a burst instead of automatic.

Seriously, if you guys don't like playing with pubbies take a half hour and add everyone to your bnet from the spreadsheet in the first post. You won't make it out of the menus or possibly through your first solo match without getting an invite from someone.

Yeah but it's got the doot right click that can push people away from you so you can escape or send them screaming into the abyss. Plus you can heal while it's equipped so it's automatically a better gun for a support than Mercy's is.

Also I think D.va's pistol is literally the worst gun in the game in terms of numbers although it still probably has a higher DPS than Winston.

Most of the groups you get through Discord will use in game voice. Discord is just where everyone is hanging out to find groups. 3 separate discord servers now, get in each one never be without a group.

Because every insular community has to make playing together needlessly complicated. Buddy of mine plays with ArsTechnica people and they insist on Teamspeak and it's like okay now I have to find a button I can reach that doesn't interfere with actual ingame poo poo.

The in-game voice's quality is quite good but there is a bit of a delay. Discord ALSO has a bit of delay and I'm not sure which is better. This is why you should use mumble, and also get off my lawn and stop listening to that techno music it's just beeps and boops

It's still very strange seeing people classify him as an "offensive support" when his main gun is so bad though. He's 100% about the aura's and the occasional knock back.
I heard that his damage was much better during the beta, so maybe that's where it comes from?

Also, Mercy has the damage buff, which I'd take any day over Lucio's pea shooter.
