I have yet to lose a Pharah on Pharah dogfight if it's 1v1. I'm not saying I'm hot poo poo or anything so much as how are there so many bad Pharahs

I looked at the official forums where someone is asking for advice on how to win these and everyone's like "Don't, it's futile to try to hit her in the air" and pffffffffffffffffffft I do that poo poo all the time.

Mei seems underrated to me right now, I think people just aren't quick enough with ice block/wall in regards to denying burst damage. It's actually really easy to duel McCree if you pop ice block immediately and waste his flashbang, almost no one bothers to wait, they just throw it immediately.

Her ice walls are hard to use but can provide some amazing saves. I had a round on King's Row defense where I dropped an ice wall right in the first choke right as a Reinhardt used his ultimate. Turns out it doesn't hit through an ice wall. She's also good at camping a flank route, just blocking flankers from slipping through or separating people if they try and make a bigger push. Someone trying to flank with a support with them is scary. Not so much when you separate and kill them one by one.

I had a double kill where I killed a junkrat and deflected his death grenades, which killed the mercy on him. Genji is awesome.
Fun Genji tip: If you can hit a rip tire (100hp) with 2 shurikens (28*2 dmg), it will bring its health down low enough that swift strike (50 dmg) will kill it. It's incredibly useful because you can often intercept the tire as its flying overhead or otherwise is headed for your team. It doesn't kill Genji unless the junkrat detonates it.

Yup, 10+ hours of Hanzo without being able to kill 4 people with it. Everyone scatters too quickly at the sound of the ult. You usually have 1-2 snipers far back, a pharah up above, a flanker on the sides, so there's often only like 2 people in one spot at once to even land on a Zarya ult. I don't even like playing Hanzo, but it's one of the last few achievements I need.

Has anyone seen a unicorn zen potg yet?

I swear I should be close to being considered, but since the algorithm is racist against chillbots it gives it to a bastion or reaper getting 1 kill

I got one last night, but it felt more like the game was shaming all 12 of us for not doing something more interesting. The entire defense lost track of me on Anubis B, so I wound up accidentally flanking, and then they never turned around when I started orbing them in the back :shrug:

Zenyatta is more of an anti-tank support who happens to also heal.

Well, anti-everything, but tanks feel it the most.

He's not supposed to be. Line of sight came in after beta because it was boring otherwise. He will never do more healing than Mercy because he makes up for it with his orb of discord and almost sniper like accuracy. You can wreck fools easy.

I don't get what I'm doing wrong with Roadhog. I hook, hold left click on their heads and melee, but half the time they're already dodging and get out of the way by the time I do shoot. Meanwhile I've seen other Roadhogs who seem to consistently instagib <250 Hp like it's nobody's business. Am I missing something?

The hook has a fixed stun timer. At max range the stun just about wears off which gives them a chance to survive. Try to hook when you're closer.

Roadhog's hook does a fixed stun, so hooking someone at the end of its effective range gives them time to react.

Have a Torb do it first so when they see you, they think it's a normal turret like the last few times, until they're dead.

Occasionally when I'm on Torbjörn, running from spawn, I notice that I have ult up and my turret is taking minor damage so I just use my ult and enjoy the phat eliminations and PotG. But yeah, a bit harder to get "on fire" or stay on fire for other heroes when running back to action :gary:

Even then, people scramble pretty quick, or break it down/transcendence, reaper wraith, mei blocks, etc. I've been trying for 10+ hours on Hanzo without a quad-kill ult. I need to find a good Zarya partner and play some games with them and hope that the team doesn't run 2 snipers in the rear, a farah in the air, a reaper/mccree roaming around, and only a tank/support in one spot so that we can grab 4+ of them.

You absolutely do not, under any circumstances, want to leave a Zenyatta alive. He shits out DPS so hard and so fast and causes everyone on his team to do more damage that if you don't make him a priority target you can kiss goodbye to anyone not standing behind a shield of some kind.

He can single-handedly wipe a team if he's good.

The best Mercy can hope for is her idiot team will kill people, Zenyatta doesn't leave it up to chance and decides he'll do the job for them (since they're terribad)
