My friend got POTG for rezzing two guys. At the end of POTG, the kill feed loving explodes because I'm on the other side of the map killing 4 people and a turret. It's actually pretty funny. I wish I got video.

It annoys me so much that there's no standard or consistency for whether or not you can stand on sloped surfaces or slide off them in this game.

Even a couple flat surfaces you'll slide off! Try the overhang on the entrance to Lijiang Tower: Control Center.

I'm guessing they might've been problem spots in the beta but the fuckin roofs near the attacker spawn in Dorado rendered absolutely useless by having ledges that you can't stand on is annoying to me.

Zenyatta is perfect for when you need your heals to be weak, infrequent, and unreliable

Did you know the last spawn room in Galbralter is right above the point?

Best mercy potg I have seen is a mercy respawning, jumping into the central meeting room and rezing the whole team in time to immediately contest the payload. It won us the game.

Yeah Zenyatta is more of a damage dealing tank buster than a healing support, though he can heal and his ult is good for pushing. He should really only be played in pubs to deal with tanks when your team is garbage, and even then not against Reinhardt probably, mostly, the others. He's not used at all in comp though so lol.

I think the fact that McCree is put in the "absolute staple" tier where literally every other character is a more passive, support-y hero says volumes about his balance.

can someone tell me how to be reinhardt without just kind of being slow and bad and worthless. I think I want to be good at the Hammer Grandpa but currently I suck at him quite a lot and he's basically the opposite of the kind of character I usually play.

I have the opposite problem, being a woman with a masculine voice that gets misgendered all the time. Avoiding misogynistic bullshit is nice but it's still a downer :sigh:

I wish I had Reinhardt tips but unfortunately as far as I can tell there isn't a lot of nuance to him, just get to the point, put your shield up, occasionally charge/firestrike at pesky assholes. He's very reliant on your team.

I know that Symmetra really isn't the best support, especially if you are lacking any other support character, but she is loving awesome to play, I always win somehow, and the teleport is great to keep up the pressure both on offense and defense.

I've been trying Reinhardt today and he's a ton of fun, but I've noticed a strange phenomenon - my teams are losing tons of teamfights 6-0 when I'm around. Like half a dozen times in a row we'll group up, move in on the objective, and all die without a single kill. I rarely saw this playing Junkrat, and I can't imagine how I could possibly be doing so poorly as to lead to this. Is my shield giving teammates a false sense of confidence that gets them killed or something?

She's kind of like Mercy in that the fun comes from providing an important benefit to the team.

Also launching giant laser balls is fun.

I'm really glad that for all her edginess, Widowmaker looks like a Pixar blue elf which robs any sense of self-seriousness she might have.

Also the fact that her boobs are all hangin out but I use the Noire skin so that doesn't really happen for me.

Considering Blizzard's famous attention to detail I'd say they purposely made these surfaces unstable for balance reasons.

What's the way to be playing D.Va? It feels like she should be zipping around disrupting teams with her dash, but she is so fragile even with her sheild that she really can't get in the mix without her mech being killed. Her fusion cannons are so weak outside of melee and using them basically makes her immobile that any squishy character is just going to walk away 1v1 so she doesn't really do a great job sniper hunting. As much as I like her pilot form's pistol, honestly I'm not sure it's any better than just flying back after dying would be and there's the added risk of being picked off and then making the time to the mech longer than it would be for a normal character so it's kinda not really a benefit, just neutral. Is there something I'm just missing since I like the idea behind her but she really feels like she needs something to actually make her package work.

It's mostly Lucio that is a real bore. The rest all have some engaging mechanics.

Those unbalanced surfaces are good for trick jumps as you can skate across them. They're good with Pharah in particular as you can skate long enough in most cases to replenish your fuel/jump jets.

Lucio seems to be the most popular healer. I guess people would like to fight without having to think too much about the healing part. Playing Mercy is frankly a bit of a headache after a while: rushing from one injured player to the next while not getting killed, and not getting the pleasure out of killing people yourself.

But why is Zenyatta the best?

Because you get to actually do damage while healing unlike the other two healer supports.

I have a tendency to shoot at walls all the way from spawn to where ever the action is, so that's one of the many reasons why my accuracy sucks.
