Holy poo poo Ana is fun. And almost every one of her skins is amazing. It's kinda chaotic when you're trying to shoot the enemy and your team keeps stepping in front of you though, or trying to shoot one teammate but another is in your way. But her kit is really interesting.

Genji is the cyberninja from MGS1 because he gets loving squashed by a tank, Winston is the bad guy from MGS3 because he shoots lightning, and Lucio can be the shagohod because Roadhog is Fatman.

Yeah, had a blast playing Ana in a chunk of quick play matches tonight. Nano boosting Reaper before he drops his ult (or any hero really) and putting enemies to sleep is hilarious.

Am I crazy or are Ana's tracers and gunshots a little too quiet? I feel like I tracking her is going to be a loving nightmare. At least Widow has those giant fuckoff trails that point right back to her.

widow also does 120 damage on a bodyshot and 260 on a headshot, compared to ana's, uh, 80.

God drat can any character swing the momentum of a match harder than Zarya? Thrice now I've joined the tail end of a losing match after someone rage quit, said gently caress it, I'll practice my Zarya, and somehow ended up grinding out a victory instead.

Serious question: What are teams supposed to do about Genjis anyway without warping their composition to bring that fucker down? Any time a good one is zipping around I get that "Junkrat fighting Pharah" feeling only so much worse. I'm usually playing Pharah, 76, Reaper, Junkrat, Reinhardt, Symmetra or Lucio. I know he has a harder time against Winston and Zarya but it's not always an option to swap for that.

I feel like most encounters (other than when I'm Symmetra) mimic my time in HotS against stealthies: "WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THIS FUCKER"

I somehow went 4/5 in comp tonight, just queueing solo and picking one hero everyone hates or another and either just repeating "hello i am X main" or encouraging everyone just to have fun because winning isn't important. I think my lovely gimmick brings me good fortune or something.

EDIT: Reading this thread: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20746244493 is this an issue people actually have? My rig is getting on in years and the game runs buttery smooth at max settings. It's lagged literally once since I got it and it was because I was encoding a video in the background.

Once i was playing in solo queue so bad that after every game I was back to the main menu screen whilst it looked for a new match - so I would play the character on the main menu (they are random) led to an evening of hilarity and fun.

Mei does a fine job of making Genji cool the gently caress down. Roadhog does a good job too if you aren't constantly missing with the hook/shot/melee combo. 76 can make quick work of the average Genji if you're not prone to just holding M1 down.

Also a clear announcement of "GENJI COMING AROUND THE LEFT/RIGHT/BACK/TOP" does wonders for coordinating a trap.

genji isn't amazing at killing things in general so tanks are pretty good at shutting him down, at least if all you care about is the 1v1

I'd say winston is probably the best at taking him in a fair fight since genji can't deflect lighting, winston's jump has a shorter cooldown that the sword lunge, winston auto aims so tracking him isn't really a problem, and genji can't really damage race you. zarya is another option for shutting down deflects and roadhog can pluck him out of the sky into a free kill. genji can't kill d.va fast either and she can chase him down about as well as winston, tho she'll be eating the deflect

Comedy dva option of baiting the deflect with a burst and then boost-ramming him until the deflect finishes, then opening back up with the cannons.

Zarya's great for solo queue because you instantly make your other teammates better and if you are playing her right, the enemy team has to coordinate to take you down unless someone Ults you

Her right click can project heavy damage out a lot farther than a lot of people think and proper usage of the bubbles will turn her left click into a fucksaw forged in the hottest fires of hell. Her high proportion of shields to health means you can really make her last if you're smart about engaging and disengaging, but doesn't feed the enemy ult charge like all-HP tanks do.

Yeah, full health allies will still block your shots. It won't prevent the HoT though, so you can shoot someone immediately before they take damage and it'll heal for whatever of the half second duration is left.

idk how capture the flag would work if you can just go Lucio or Tracer or a flying character on maps, would be uneven. They've said deathmatch will never be a thing.

Trust me I hate Hanzo as much as you but holy poo poo for some reason he clicks with me, no matter whoever's on my dick or in the distance. It was like in TF2, I was terrible at the Sniper then I got The Huntsman and just solo carried games.

Go to the groups tab in the social menu while in a match. I think it's bound to P by default. Click on the red and blue chat-bubbles. Then you can play [INSERT BAD PICK] without people yelling at you. The chat will stay muted until the next time you boot up Overwatch.

I have had success playing Hanzo on first point Dorado. Sonic for your team then make a break for the flank that takes you to the first cap point. People rarely expect flankers and they definitely do not expect a Hanzo to do anything other than snipe uselessly from the backlines. You can get a couple solid picks and it makes it a lot easier for your team to push up to the archway
