My favorite thing about junkrat is that his mine can be thrown as an incredibly lethal grenade with pretty good range.

Man it sucks so hard when you just go on a losing streak. I lost about 8 in a row then decided I need a break. Sure I may not be a great player but you'd think I'd at least get lucky once or twice.

Junkrat finally "clicked" for me. Nothing like taking down a flying Pharah with the mine. They never see it coming. It's also baffling how many people walk right into the steel trap despite it being huge and obvious, but hey, free kills. His area denial potential is just ridiculous.

The opposing team sees it differently than you, it sinks into the ground and you can only really see it's teeth which is much harder to notice during a firefight.

I would like to point out that a lot of the time the Steel Trap appears to be embedded half-way into the ground. On some replays it's not even visible. It also has like an extra foot of reach outside of it's model. Edit: F:B At the same time I've also had someone breakout of my steel-trap in under a second somehow. I've also had a Tracer break out of Mei's freeze before I could even get the icicle off. I'm assuming it has to do with the 20tickrate servers, perhaps the opposing client is trapped/frozen earlier than what's reported from the server to the junkrat/mei. I can't tell.

Moola posted:"Torb isnt good on offense!" I've seen Torbjorns try this probably 10 times. Every single time, without fail, it gets destroyed within 5 seconds of seeing combat. I'm sure it can work great, but it seems like hell of a gamble, considering the payload is the center of attention at all times.

PS As someone who has been trying to play Zenyatta, gently caress Widowmakers. She should get one scoped shot before having to reload. At the very least.

A 56 dps turret with seemingly infinite range and perfect accuracy that hose-blasts Torbjorn's ultimate to max charge in under a minute, thus turning the dwarf into a tanking melee and range assault vehicle who throws infinite team armor. Also the turret is healed to full now and one or two shots everything in sight as it rapid fires rockets. Edit: the turret also points a brilliant red laser directly at enemies, pointing them out for your entire team. SlimGoodbody fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jun 5, 2016 |

So I tried Zarya out a few days ago and at first I didn't really like the playstyle, mainly as the shields last for only 2 seconds, but then something clicked and now she is my go to character. I just wish I was better at using her ultimate. Anyone got any tips for it? Edit: Also, I have seen rumors of some "support sniper" character that people are trying to figure out, and I have seen things like "it shoots instant heal syringes" and stuff like that, but I haven't seen anyone really talking about a Tau Pathfinder style character where they use laser markerlights to boost accuracy of allies, with an ultimate being some sort of orbital strike or something. (and yes, I know that it is probably just some stupid rumor) jadebullet fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jun 5, 2016 |

Anybody else had any problems with BSOD? I had one a few days ago, dismissed it as a freak, just happened again. Both times just as I used my ultimate, which seems a little weird. My system is totally stable, used for plenty of other games, haven't had any kind of bluescreen for over a year according to the .dmp files.

Anyone else getting significantly lower FPS on Dorado? It only seems to happen on that map, and only for the first 2/3 of the map, for some reason. Edit: Nothing against offensive Torbjörn. He is useful for covering flanks and pushes. Be ready to receive a lot of abuse from your teammates though.

Use your chat wheel to say "My Ultimate is ready" occasionally until someone with a damage ult replies with "My ultimate is ready", try to stick with them, then dump your ult on a promising cluster of enemies and hope your buddy gets the idea. Try to be at full ammo before dumping it too, and then power up and laser them to death.

Get in, plant a turret, hang about. Snipe with his LMB, shotgun with his RMB, he has basically everything covered. Armor for everyone, long range, short range and the turret. I've got a high success rate with it.

i feel like torbjörn is a win harder character in KotH. kicks a lot of rear end against teams that were unlikely to beat you anywayJeza posted:Anybody else had any problems with BSOD?

I wish I had been recording. I'm not even mad because it's hilarious how many times our own Mei screwed our entire team over on Iilos. - Walled most of our team in a closed space as a Reaper is ulting - Threw the blizzard ball directly down the well - Tried to wall a Bastion but instead it lifted him up into perfect position to mow down the entire push - Blocked me from the escape route to my own exploding D.Va mech The Bastion one was extremely funny and he got potg

Teach me to Genji, guys. /edit: I did watch OAM's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRcCdH5-U_8 but I feel like I'm not able to consistently take down people, and every time I trigger the ult I'm dead before killing anybody.

Idea for a McCree nerf: Instead of his flashbang stunning, make it put people's shift and E abilities on cooldown for ~4 seconds, and give it a generously increased blast radius. That still lets him shut down Tracers (and everyone else's escape abilities) but you don't just stop playing the game when it hits you.

Mei's walls can be really hard to get used to and I still screw them up a good amount of the time. Then there's the times I hear Soldier 76's ult coming and drop a wall right in the corridor he's trying to flank from, or stop a Reaper from just wraithforming away to safety, or splitting a Mercy from the player she's pocketing and them murdering her. Or being enough of a threat that people start pulling their ults to 1v1 me when I ambush them only for me to press shift and survive it. Mei acts like a nice person, but in reality she's a cruel, sadistic bitch.

Prav posted:there's a lot of people who just won't play junkrat no matter what and i don't understand why. he's easy to get started with, fun and effective Because his tire pisses me off more than any single other thing in the game. Yes it's easily dealt with if the guy is dumb enough to send it straight at you down a long hallway, but if they run it up over a wall and down onto you his F1 might as well say: "Press Q to get PotG". D.Va's ult was like that in the first couple of days but people have learned how to deal with it for the most part now, but when you hear that goddamn tire start up you're pretty much guaranteed to eat poo poo and die if the Junkrat is any good. I do play a lot of squishy healers though who get especially singled out for it though. I've fled a chokepoint as Lucio and retreated by myself and had the Junkrat make a special point of hunting me in particular down even while ignoring the rest of my team clustered on the point.
