If you play Zen, do you focus on healing most or doing damage most, or switch back and forth constantly? I've tried him a few times but I'm just bad at figuring him out.

I tend to stick to heal/discord orbs, shooting at people is more of an opportunity thing.

I try to stick to the back and snipe orbs on people, usually prioritizing healing > discord > attacking. At least, that's the idea. In practice I tend to overextend and find myself alone bouncing around a payload trying to tank 3 enemies at once. :v:

The Native Pharah legendaries make her missiles into freaking arrowheads that explode. That's ridiculous.

What screen size and resolution do you play at?

1920x1080

Are the people having trouble new to FPS' or something? I thought this was pretty standard and a health bar in the middle of my screen would make me angry and distract me.

I just looked up the most popular 'picking a tf2 hud' video on youtube and most of the recommended ones move the health bars up and closer to the middle from the default so I don't think I'm totally insane for thinking that'd be nice. I'm not saying it needs to be moved for everyone, I just like customizable UI's in general.

On the other hand HIGPS recommends you don't and actually explains why

I don't like how Pharah looks. It's the ridiculously huge shoulders. The only skin for her that is good is the gundam one, the others all suck.

Best Lucio skin is pink Lucio.

Oh and I haven't really noticed that there is a thing to indicate the direction damage comes from either. And I still think that Tracer, D.Va, and 76's guns all feel like they are shooting piss but I know to look at enemy health bars and for the hitconfirm diamond now so it's not as big of a deal anymore.

Not a lot of FPS' have scaleable/changeable UI. It's not standard like an MMO because 99.999% of people are fine with the default.

Is there any situation where Hanzo is a actually a solid pick over a widow? I've pretty much avoided playing him due to the massive stigma around him but I've been having a pretty fun time with him in brawl. Granted, I do 10x better whenever I pick widow but would like to add another hero to my repertoire if possible.

I never see that kind of language (I saw a really bitter goon once but that's it), and I am up to 40 hours in the game. It feels like it is being instigated first with screenshots of only the aftermath. If it's happening to you constantly, you either have insanely bad luck or are probably kind of a dick.

Not really. However, you should just play the hero you want to play.

40 hours is fuckin nothing lol. Nice to know that apparently the victim is the one at fault though :)
