mcvey posted:What is recoil There isn't recoil - 76's shots spread around the crosshair a bit after the first 3 or 4, which are perfectly straight. I use the dot crosshair so it's a bit easier to notice. Edit: Wait we are talking about McCree now. I thought there was someone saying never let up with 76's shots.

I can grab Junkrat's Ultimate with the hook as Pigman and toss it away. This changes everything.

guts and bolts posted: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 A good 90% of playing Pharah is just being able to land direct rockets, something that only comes with time and practice, unfortunately. In general, I try to stay relatively near to my team, rather than going off on a weird flanking mission. I'll still flank to the side, but I don't operate like a Genji darting around in the backlines. Pharah works best when the people with hitscan are busy trying to kill the rest of your team, rather than trying to duel people midair. There are exceptions to this (if I need to get straight into a Widowmaker's face before she cooks my bacon), but I prefer to use my height advantage to aim longer range rockets and then retreat safely back behind the rest of my team to heal back up. Whenever you go into the air with Jump Jets, you should already have in mind the path of descent you're going to follow. The absolute surest sign of a new Pharah player is watching them sadly drift down like a falling leaf into the middle of the enemy team. You should always be landing either behind your team or on high ground, which means thinking about where you're going to travel to in advance. Try to make sure you land on relatively covered ground, too, as you're pretty predictable and easy to kill when grounded. Barrage is tricky. You need to use it like you're Reaper: wait a bit off to the sides until the enemy team is relatively grouped up, is engaged with your team, and isn't watching for you. If I see a Pharah floating around behind us and it's been a while since she put out a Barrage, I'm expecting her to come in not too long after and pop it, and I'm ready and waiting to headshot her out of the sky. You need to stealthily deploy it if you have any hope of getting it off for most of its duration, and you need to prioritize the targets who are most able to kill you (S76, McCree) or ruin your ultimate (Genji) first. Don't use it too far up, as it makes the rockets relatively easy to dodge. The second floor of the saloon on Route 66 is about the recommended height I'd give for Barrage.

being good with pharah has a lot to do with movement tbh. hitting dudes is good but pharah's such an easy target while in the air that being able to move around while flying is really important keep in mind that the concussive blast can be used as a mini rocket jump and to get momentum while you're hovering

mcvey posted:He wasnt game banned but I guess he played a LAN recently and played well so I don't know. It's pretty rare for someone to go pro in an fps only off cheating, usually they're really strong players who turn on bots for brief moments in a match and otherwise do well anyway. This of course does not excuse that, but someone being good at a LAN doesn't really absolve them off suspicion (though sucking would probably be a pretty dead give away)

I don't really like Pharah because she has a rocket launcher and a giant suit of armour but she's yet another loving flanker like 90% of Assaults.

I like pairing zarya + pharah in group queues. If my pharah pal has to make a jump through an open area I give her a shield to let her win against the opposing widowmaker.

I generally don't play Pharah as a flanker because I feel like she's way too easy to kill with other people she's likely to run into, especially as 76 has come back into the pub games I've been playing (at low levels 76 is everywhere, then everyone becomes convinced he sucks or is for kids and is easy or whatever, then they come back to him when they realize he trucks on flankers with even a mild amount of awareness) I've been trying mostly to use Pharah to break up nests or separate people from the back when attacking a control point, and generally trying to play her like a moving mortar launcher meant to supplement other DPS classes and not just ~style on fools 24/7~ The girlfriend will play Mercy sometimes and backpack me and then it's obscene, but I haven't even gotten a quad with Pharah's ult yet. :<

NTRabbit posted:How can you control it then? Don't say move the mouse down, because I've tried that and it doesn't work. it does actually fanning the hammer has a random spread but just keeping your crosshair centered on the other guy will obviously make hitting with it easier. sometimes you'll get a better spread and kill someone further away than normal, but you aren't ever gonna do that if you just let the gun climb by not controlling the recoil e: think of it like a shotgun in battlefield; the pellets will come out randomly within the circle of your crosshair, but they will always be within the circle so you still need to aim at the guy to hit him Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jun 7, 2016 |

You can only guarantee where the first bullet is going, but that doesn't matter so much whe you're point blanking a massive target like a tank. I've seen McCrees were the gun just doesn't move, fanning off small targets like Tracer and Widow at range.

yeah I think pharah is supposed to be a versatile hero in that she can frontline or flank but being weaker than mccree and easy prey for widow while also having a pretty high skill cap are definitely not helping her case

I never play Symmetra. I think I have like 3 games total with her. Played one over lunch and got into a group of good players against another team of good players, and since there was already a Reinhardt and Mercy and no builder I grabbed her. Holy poo poo guys. 27 kills, 47% teleporter uptime. Between Mercy and me there was never really a point that there weren't some of our players on the point. It was crazy. She was crazy.

If your shitter team can stay alive long enough for you to drop a forward teleporter, Symmetra absolutely dominates Anubis defence; if you take that right hand side, with the room and courtyard leading to the stairs up the bridge, you can entirely shut that side of the map down on your own, preventing flanking. 3 turrets in the room, 3 turrets in the courtyard, plus your gun, extremely tough to beat, even for Junkrat. Get your teleporter down around the corner, and most teams should hold.

Yeah, I think she's balanced around the assumption that she's not going to be getting many kills, so her ult charges fast if you're at all aggressive. If you can keep your teleporter up most of the match your team can be pretty dominant even if they're kind of poo poo, especially on some maps. (Anubis)

Symmetra doesn't need to save lives, she blunts assaults and closes chokepoints while dead people shortcut back into action with her teleporter. I like to use her on Gibraltar defence too, but once they get to the final checkpoint there's not a lot of good turret spots left to abuse. Countblanc posted:Junkrat isn't really the answer to Symmetra, the tanks are. Most of the tanks have weapons that hit large areas, mitigate/heal damage, and have large health pools - They aren't really threatened by her turrets. The good part about that map is that very few tanks can actually make it across the sniper/torbturret/bastion controlled opening, and no you're wrong, Reinhardt is the only tank the turrets aren't a huge threat to - three turrets plus your gun shred D.Va or Roadhog rapidly, the best of them get two turrets down before dying, and they take care of Zarya pretty easily once her shield goes too. Even better in that room and courtyard, because you can space the turrets out so far that it takes one shot each to kill them, and still make them hidden from being shot out of their field of fire. Junkrat is the answer to Symmetra in that, in my favourite turret places, his bouncing grenades are the only thing that can destroy them without jumping in front of them.
