With which game? (and would that really prevent them from becoming involved with another game?)

Cheating with a slow-moving projectile? I mean, it's not easy to land midair shots with Pharah, but you can do it with some practice, especially if your opponent is moving in a predictable manner.

That Pharah death was just annoying enough to make me quit, for cheats I'm talking about the reams of snap-to headshotting Widwomakers, Soldier 76s who shoot like they have their ult on all the time, and Hanzos who never miss even the most extreme shots, like one who scored two headshots, in two different directions, mid air before hitting the ground. Don't care how much you practise for comp, that poo poo doesn't happen without technical help.

it is not hard to be accurate with soldier 76 if you are burst firing since y'know he has a hitscan weapon with almost no recoil spray when burst fired

Not burst, full auto, always hitting.

Also seen some McCrees who have guns that never move when fanning, all straight down the line, while others spray about as you'd expect.

The spread on full auto is random so an aimbot isn't going to guarantee all hits. I did see 2 aimbotting mccrees when the game first launched, but I haven't seen anything suspicious in a while.

I got the pink-haired Tracer legendary skin, which is frustrating because her Posh skin is definitely the best. On the same note, I have the valkrie Mercy legendary skin, but Amber is the clear winner. I can sell them for like a fifth of a legendary each. That's not even enough for an epic!


I did however buy Roadhog's Mako skin, which rules.

To be honest it's probably D.Va who should have an aimbot ultimate instead of S76 being a pro gamer and all

It hurts my immersion to imagine that Soldier 76 knows enough about the internet to download + install an aimbot

a pro gamer would never cheat (actually I think Leta came under suspicion for trying to gauge audience reactions while he was scouting)

The literal joke is that he's COD, which is old and busted compared to hip, new Overwatch.

StarCraft isn't known for it's aimbots. Call of Duty, however, is.

So far the anti-cheat has been very, very good. There was a super suspicious widow I encountered early last week whom I reported and wrote down the name. I looked up his / her stats and they were comically unrealistic. I tried looking up their stats late last week I couldn't find a user with that name :3:

Having suffered through R6 siege not having anti cheat I am very happy with Overwatch on this front

instead of the self destruct screen on her mech it shows her split of the payoff from throwing the match and the winners are all holding briefcases of money in the post game screen

I was a Reinhardt leading a team down a narrow corridor. An enemy Reinhardt appears and I know his intentions and how to respond. We both charge. We bump our heads and fall back stunned. But I have five dudes behind me.

That felt pretty awesome.

Regarding the Pharah questions earlier, some of this is repeat but yeah stand on roofs rather than just floating forever whenever it's an option. Unless their sniper is trash and you can repeatedly dunk on them, try to displace them with concussion blast. Knocking them off the perch can buy time or even throw them somewhere a lot more dangerous like into a fight or the ocean. It's actually harder to land direct hits in the sky than on the ground, which increases the time you spend up there in danger, so you should try to limit that to Mercy picks and killing stragglers. (It's a lot of fun to follow a Bastion and ensure the kill.) If you ever played the original C&C, think of Pharah as a highly mobile SSM. Put her on a ledge and let her superior firepower win fights. Only play her like it's Tribes if it's safe or you can get a really vital pick. When you don't have good pick options, find positions that let you hurl rockets into high-traffic areas and/or groups. You want to maximize your direct hits. Splash damage is piddling and direct hits are like the fist of god.

what's the biggest disconnect so far between "is cool/fun to play" and "is a good general pick" in Overwatch? it could just be because i suck with her but i want to say it's Pharah

Mei buff: using your primary on the ground creates an ice path you and your team move faster on. To balance this with Lucio, if he uses his speedboost on the icepath your team will go too fast, slip, and break their skulls open.

I now what recoil is, and I'm telling you that moving the mouse down changes nothing, the gun still goes up, down, left, right as it pleases when fanning the hammer, for me and most of the people I get to see using it in PotGs, just a small handful who seem to get no recoil at all and fan poo poo to death at 50m range.
