You're shorter then most heroes, and theirs a slight drop to her shots, and hit boxes are very generous for headshots, so aim up a bit. Use Icewall before shooting, they'll stand still when they back up into it.  . If nothing else, these weekly brawls are great at forcing players our of their comfort zones

Turtlicious posted:Junkrat Talk. i've been wondering this myself honestly, but i think the answer is, he's a great character and you can play him any time, but... well, there is no but. he's just really well balanced. i think he is still better at defense than offense. he's not gonna be in every game in competitive/ranked mode cause he has to compete with pure dps classes like pharah and s76, which if you have any aiming skill will outshine him. pharah being in every game now sucks for junkrat especially cause he has a real hard time taking her out of the sky. but all that being said, nobody should ever yell at you for bringing a junkrat. even a bad junkrat is better than a bad hanzo or widow. at least that's what i tell myself, as i stare in sorrow at my 39% junkrat winrate

Turtlicious posted:Junkrat Talk. Usually if there's any hero that's above him and far away, junkrat struggles to hit them. Pharas can counter him pretty hard if they just stay away from his mine range and hit a couple of direct rockets. He's situationally pretty good but also pretty bad sometimes.

Obviously, it would be a more difficult, complex and nuanced change than just swapping out a number for a lower number. It would likely impact multiple characters and require a hefty amount of experimentation and playtesting. Still, that's the kind of thing Blizz said they would be doing, and I was really excited to hear that they were planning to put that level of dedication into balancing the game in a more advanced way.

Junkhog, Pharah, and Soldier 76 are all at least decent in almost every situation, and they are also very fun. Concidentally those are the three characters I play the most, but there's nothing wrong with that!!

It's also supposed to be balanced by matchmaking so if you have 20 eliminations per game average and so does someone else, that doesn't necessarily mean you're anywhere close in skill level.

What is the top-tier skin for D.Va? I really dig the Junebug mech, but I hate the hairdo it puts on D.Va, and the Junker skins are pretty cool but the colors are about as boring as possible. I've got 2k gold saved up, so I'm also weighing Safari Winston, either of the Mercy legendaries, Gundam Pharah, and I dunno, Goth Zarya? She's the one I actually like playing the most, but her skins all kinda suck.

Yeah but killing squishy flankers is supposed to be his main job and he almost always loses to Genji now. He shouldn't be so strong against tanks but that's why the nerf failed, it over nerfed him against flankers and while he's still very good against tanks.

Turtlicious posted:So if Pharah is on the enemy team, he is bad is what you're saying? Or are there other times he's bad as well? It's very map dependent. A lot of heroes can shoot you from outside your effective range like 76, mccree, or widow but Phara can do that no matter what map it is. It's what makes her good against junkrat. You will probably have to trust other people to deal with her. It also depends on where the other team chooses to fight you. If you're on offense on Hollywood, but nobody on defense is taking the roofs after the first point, then you can still do well on garbagerodent.

Main Paineframe posted:The angle of the scatter arrows seems to depend on the angle that the initial arrow hit at. If it hits the wall/floor at a low angle, the scatter will tend to go basically the same way the original arrow went. If it hits the wall/floor straight-on, it'll tend to reflect the arrows back the way they came. In general, anyway. So if you're at the same level as someone, aiming a scatter arrow to hit the ground just a bit in front of them should get them with pretty much all the arrows, which should instakill basically any character. Okay So how do I avoid being on the receiving end of this, short of waiting for scatter arrow to go on cooldown?

Macaluso posted:If they had a skin like Junker or B.Va but in pink like the default I'd be on that so fast Yeah, this. It would be awesome if the Junker skins came in any color besides dull orange and muted green, really. I have the same issue with the Pharah skin that comes with the Origins edition -- it's not a bad skin, but it's this dull camo brown color that's so boring that I'd rather use one of the 75g color tints on her default costume.

wit posted:He can't be a good at long range, fatal close range and anti-flank, and anti-tank. Nobody wants to play with the kid who's power is all the powers you guys have. Right now though he's not particularly good at long range, he's not especially good at close range, he sucks vs everyone except Tracer in anti-flank (his flash is being used as tank crowd control since he's so bad at anti-flank), and lol no tank should ever lose to a McCree now you have to be aggressively bad. This doesn't mean weakening FTH wasn't a good thing, but IMHO they did it the wrong way/halfheartedly. A 3s cooldown on a 50x6 FTH with strong vertical spread only and his minimum LMB set to 50. It'd also be cool if his flashbang didn't stun but disabled activated abilities (Shift and E). The biggest issue when dealing with Tracer/Genji/Reaper/Mei, etc is that they can escape or counter McCree, I'd definitely trade the annoying stun away for being able to make them defenseless for a longer period. This is also mechanically more focused on dealing with flankers and supports compared to tanks.
