I'd rather people play what they like because Overwatch is a video game and therefore which character people pick is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Nah I guess that's not entirely true, but only if it's Hanzo, Ana's cool.

Even hating Hanzo has sort of become a joke that's run itself into the ground at this point, I don't even find myself running into super slampick Hanzo mains in quickplay much anymore. Everyone still loves Genji but that's to be expected.

I think people are coming to terms with the fact that Hanzo is a) Hard To Play and b) Bad.

I had a comp match earlier where the first 5 picks on my team were Zen, Mercy, Genji, S76, Roadhog. When the 6th player chose Hanzo I wanted to just leave right then (someone on the enemy team left, thank god).

I played with a decent Ana player tonight, but I would still prefer every match to have double support Zen/Lucio.

Hanzo isn't that difficult to play if you completely ignore the top reticule and focus on the middle one.

Place the middle on the neck/upper body depending on range and you will score a headshot 100% of the time.

I'm not gonna complain about ana in comp unless we already have 2 supports. I will always be very sad to see someone pick hanzo tho; that's never something I want on my team

He says some real creepy poo poo to female cast members. It's pure conjecture that he is a rapist but i don't reckon it's too far off the mark

To be fair, Torb is an engineer who evidently has very poor social skills and is naturally drawn towards cadgets. Tracer has some sort of time rewinding thing embedded in her chest, Mei's robot buddy is tiny but also very versatile and somewhat autonomous it seems, and Meka is a goddamn walking tank with defense matrix and rocket boosters. Who wouldn't want to take a closer look at those?

Balance things out by Torb making awkward comments towards Genji.

Met a team with an Ana and a lucio in a comp match and it was horrible. A charged reinhardt is a beast.

I watched a stream last night where the streamer's buddy cried nonstop through an entire Dorado map for one of his teammates to switch from Ana to Lucio. the whole time the streamer's buddy was on Zenyatta. I can think of a quick way for you to get a lucio in your team if you want one so badly!

Had a guy whining on Mic for an entire minute because I was playing Ana on Kings Row offense in competitive. I proceeded to tell him his "sperg level was too intense." And he shut up immediately. Then we steamrolled the enemy team with an overcharged Reinhardt.

I played against him in the next comp match and pushed his poo poo in with some lovely Roadhog hooks.


This was before the attack speed buff. She's a good class, but you HAVE to be a good Widowmaker player already to play her, then you have to be good at Hanzo/Torbjorn to excel with her.

Oh well, I was told to get off 76 in competitive because "he sucks on defense" once. The mid-50s are weird when you're trying to claw your way out of them.

I don't know about you, but I am really good at Overwatch and all other video games also, so whatever my experiences are must reflect the top level of competitive play, such that you'd be an idiot not to agree with me.

Playing with people you know and don't like at all (but your friends do) has to be the worst poo poo in the game. If I don't play 1 of reaper/76/pharah, we are guaranteed a loss. :argh:

the worst bit is that he unironically thinks hitler was justified because he "improved the german economy vastly"don't mention the genocide or the looting of jewish wealth. Also "logic rules over all", a literal autistic robot.
