Wait for genji to go on someone and then jump him as winston. Winston is pretty good for making flankers' lives hell if you wait til they've committed.

Any good counters to a decent Genji other than going Mccree like a scumbag?

Winston. His leap gives him the mobility to keep up with Genji and unless he gets point-blank headshots, you should be able to drop him before he drops you.

Blowing up people's stats obsession and making matches relatively bite sized are the two smartest things Blizzard did in this game. Me and the wife usually don't buy anything without couch multi but it's been fun enough switching off and picking the other persons hero for them.

Yeah but we still need couch multi!
I asked my housemate if he wanted to play but he said it looked too cartoony and kiddy.

I don't know how or why, but putting a level 2 Torj's turret on one of the moving platforms on the second half of the Russian defense map seems like a great way to screw with the attacking team for a good minute or so.

Hard counters:
- McCree if you can land flashbangs
- Winston, all the time
- Mei when the ground is flat

Soft counters:
- Pharah, if you're good at aiming. Can't reflect poo poo that hits you from above and you can keep up with him climbing poo poo
- Tracer, but only on flat maps and you gotta git gud

"I want to see what she's in love with."

A pile of 76s relies on having all of them alive to just put out damage, so anything that disrupts that is going to really give them trouble. A decent sniper can 1-shot them, then you also have your tanks both go winston. 3 of your guys now are countering their entire team, if the rest of your team shows up at all you'll win.

Most big gimmick comps are like this, you just need to look at why that setup works and disrupt it. A stack of any hero is going to get crushed by 2-3 people going the right choices, and the rest of their team doing basically anything.

Meis know to icewall the attacker door when the round starts but hanzos still haven't figured out that they should sonic arrow the door 10s before the round starts.

I started playing mei and she is really good at being an rear end in a top hat on koth maps. I always see meis blocking an enemy push with the wall, but when my team was holding I'd drop the ice wall in the middle of an enemy push through a choke to split them up so we could focus down whoever was on the wrong side. Also I kept dying to bastions while trying to drop an icewall in front of them.

Okay, Soldier 76 is pretty fun. Shame his skins are so bland.

Also pretending to be overreacting to POTG where people just hit Q is probably one of my favorite traditions in Overwatch now.

The best 76 skins are the default one, the golden one, and the two stundrider ones.
The other ones aren't colorful enough. Especially the boring 1000-gold "badass camo" ones, they suck :colbert:

I'm finding pubs I'm in are over the 'pick two snipers' phase, but are now obsessed with 'we'll use one sniper and two flankers', which leaves the front line push so anemic that then there's no actual flank. It seems even less successful than two snipers.

I am very sorry for whatever personal infraction that I have caused you by expressing my opinion that being a dick to people for no reason isn't a cool or good thing to do and I hope we can bury the hatchet at some point.

You repeatedly misread a very basic conversation topic, then was a dick (several times!) to someone when they clarified for you. Retreating to the holier-than-thou ground that you yourself staked out earlier is perhaps not quite the height of irony, but certainly a high balcony.

Every now and then you get to be on the delivering end of a hilarious "OH poo poo!" moment with this game. I had a Junkrat (with pocket Mercy) flank the team and then meathook me...right as I entered Tank mode as Bastion. It did not end well for him.

I then upvoted him at the end of the match for chainhook accuracy. :v:

So I have been trying to get less bad as Hanzo - is this a hard and fast rule? I usually try to rush to the start and drop a sonic arrow on the main gate around 25 seconds to go so I can drop a fully charged sonic arrow through the gate right as it opens in the hope of tagging someone with it.

Keeping sonic arrow at maximum uptime seems like a huge thing for Hanzo because it's the only way to really support your team outside of killin dudes. How aggressive should I be about tagging people with it vs. just keeping an eye on a back door?
