Anyway sorry if that was mean but no one could play Ana for a full month without people talking poo poo to them because of players who wanted to play her like Solid Snake instead of what became probably the best healer after Lucio.

I love pwning those clowns and showing them their big number doesn't mean poo poo.

The worst part by far about playing Ana is when your entire team is healed and some guys starts screaming at you for shooting the enemy

yeah even if youre a horrible shot, if you have a tank heavy team Ana is super powerful. her nade and sleepdart are ultkillers too

The nade does a shitload of damage for something with such a big radius too.

It's okay. I had no idea. I know that her rifle heals decently, but I've still not gotten used to the radius of the grenades and the tranq timing.

I've only played Ana once or twice so I can't land the dart for poo poo, but it seems like a smart thing to get good at since I want to punch my loving monitor every time I get tranq'd

I played with a McCree who wouldn't stop whining about how OP Genji is and I told him you can stun the deflecting genji if you throw the flashbang directly at your feet when your in front of him and he said Naaaah I'm a McCree Main dude I would know, so I went and tested it with my friend just now and got it first try. Mains are god drat Clowns.

I understand not wanting to switch because morons in this game always yell at people to switch and you have a better chance at winning if everyone just plays their best character, but if youre just deciding you only play one character and suck at it youre an unredeemable buffoon

I think playing a character you ain't great at that's better against the other team's things than what you were playing is more important frankly but it's more of a whether your first choice is working right now thing and people should learn to be able to tell if they're just banging their head against a wall. If it's not working then everyone should at least try giving some consideration to the team makeups and try something else for a couple deaths so you can gauge if it's gonna be any better.

Some of my best games are when I play something that's way better for the team even if it's my first or second time playing the character.

Aug 23, 2009

Hell I'll be the first to tell anyone I'm sick as Tracer and P. Deece at Pharah but sometimes I switch to Reaper who I've played for like an hour and a half and pwn it up. Or going to Ana instead of Zenyatta. Or whatever.

the symmetra, pharah and mercy skins are good and having put a lot of hours in as ana you really should be healing first and barely using your scope

Yeah you can be pretty effective with a smart-counter pick, even if you don't know the character that well.

People can be huge dicks about team comp, but it honestly is pretty frustrating when 4 out of 6 people on the team clearly just want to play their favorite DPS and you predictably get destroyed. Flexibility is important.

ults also make people hesitant to switch, and babies will hang onto their ult the whole game waiting for that sick potg instead of just loving using it and switching to something better against the enemy.

the only exception is pharah's ult which is so bad it's a suicide button half the time

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Yeah if I have Pharah ugly I just blast it if I'm going to change since I'll die anyway and who knows, and tracer URL you can pick back up in 20 seconds so I use those like a Kyalladoody grenade anyway.

when you combo it with zarya's ult or rein's, it becomes godly yeah. but usually you get blown up before you can even scratch someone lol. i feel like you should be able to either move during it or it needs a big projectile speed buff

if it unloaded like 1/3 faster that would be a good tradeoff I think.

I usually use her ult to straight up nuke a tank, I figure it's a good trade and hopefully my team will be able to push forward while the enemy is vulnerable, plus they're nice big targets so you don't have to worry about the missle spread as much.

yeah it's a tank shredder, good at busting rein's barrier too. but trying to hit small targets that are far away lol

playing a bit today and another thing that makes pharah not so good is that explosions and AOE stuff have gigantic invisible vertical hitboxes, im guessing specifically to counter pharah. like mei's ult has a particle effect that's purely horizontal but you can be 30 feet above it and it still freezes you

reaper ult is the most obnoxious about that for me, in terms of animation vs effect.

After enjoying Ana in the brawl I decided to pick another character I haven't really played with and give them a shot. I picked Tracer and she's a lot of fun.
