BobTheJanitor posted:Nothing will ever deter pub funhavers from playing the character they like. They could cut his damage in half across the board and people would still play him because he's a cool cyborg cowboy. The pro-tier funhaters is where you'll see specific characters never getting played, because those people don't see the aesthetics, they only see numbers like dps and hp and model size and sight lines and their robot brain crunches them and spits out 'MUST PLAY CLASS X FOR 0.002% WIN INCREASE BEEP BOOP' In competitive play McCree will still see more use than heroes with equal DPS, health and hitboxes because his hat falls off when he dies, partly obscuring the enemy's view of the rest of your team.

She doesn't have to wait it out - she can dismiss it at any time.

I've been playing McCree a lot since the nerf and he's still really powerful. I've got my mouse sensitivity dialed in and am averaging like 50% accuracy in games. It's also fun to flashbang + lmb their head and instakill

Main Paineframe posted:There's zero point in Mercy standing there next to a lone, shielded Reinhart. If he's shielded, then there's no point in healing or boosting him because he's neither taking nor dealing damage. If he is taking damage, then either a flanker got behind the shield or he dropped his shield, and in either case Mercy should be flying away as fast as possible. Mercy has a gun. If you have nothing else to heal or boost, you can just shoot stuff from behind his shield. Which is probably more dps than boosting most characters anyway.

Pumpy Dumper posted:Today an enemy junkrat let his rip tire go and was just about to kill our entire team but the enemy mei put an ice wall and blocked it. That's funny, Mei wins again. So pretty much, that Junkrat didn't kill two people. Maybe that wall saved some lives, hell maybe it helped Mei and she went on to kill two people. There are so many posts complaining about Mei walls, I've got no complaints. But I also don't care if I die in the video game, Mei is the most fun character to play though. I think if somebody can laugh at how a random Mei wall cost them their play, that's cool (pun intended). If they're genuinely complaining about it (and they sure do a lot), they are silly.

Does damage boosting someone mean genji's reflect of their shots do more damage as well? I had a bastion skewed team last night as mercy and was wondering if damage boosting them was potentially disastrous compared to just heal beaming the whole time.

On their defense I think they got mad because I was dancing on the point as Lúcio singin' can't touch this except for the junkrat because he don't need to aim but I don't think it was the same premade anyway I got a Tracer to hunt me down all match long to try and prove some point in his addled mind tho. Sure, waste ult on the sole Torbjorn.

My Mei-est moment so far (and I got a POTG for it which I completely forgot to record because I'm an eedjit) was a few nights ago attacking Anubis B. We were running out of time, decided to push from the middle and the left side at the same time; I peek from the left, pop ult, and hear a 76 triggering his. I put a wall up in front of him while we murdered the freezing bastion camping the point, dropped it and cleared the rest of the team (including a now frozen 76) with the two guys who were with me. Team kill. When the POTG played, someone commended me on the 76-blocking wall. It felt awesome.

In a game of Gibraltar defense I was annoyed at how lousy I played on offense (I went Widow to try and shut down their Hanzo, Bastion, and Torbjorn and missed almost all my shots) that I kinda gave up on defense and played D.Va. I got bored of dying though and switched to Symmetra I booby-trapped both ground-level exits to the hangar with a triple turret because our team actually held the enemy off inside long enough for that to work. As they were getting close to capping the hangar point, I baited a Reinhardt into following me. He was zapped by three beams, and I locked onto him with my laser chainsaw as he was struggling to retreat. Fun stuff. I plopped 6 turrets on the bridge pillars just before the final point because the payload must pass through there, so there's no avoiding getting zapped. Many were shot, but I kept replacing them and we held them off at the last part. Clarste posted:Mercy has a gun. If you have nothing else to heal or boost, you can just shoot stuff from behind his shield. Which is probably more dps than boosting most characters anyway. I had a good game as Mercy on Hollywood attack where I got a lot of kills. My favorite was I heard a McCree kill our Pharah on the tavern roof just before the entrance toe the space set studio.. I turned and looked up to keep an eye out for him. "IT'S HIGH NOON." *plink plink plink* squish. My team never even noticed, I think. Nor did they hear the Reaper who was tromping up behind us. I got him too. I didn't mind getting the play of the game, but I didn't even get that as my Highlight. Instead it was just me killing a Bastion and rezzing two people. Another game defending Volskaya B there was a Reaper who kept trying to wraith form onto the staircase. I kept killing him. Thanks for standing still for the teleport, Reaper! I got a lot of kills that game, and a lot of assists and healing too. We eventually lost that one because of a strategically timed D.Va ult in the last few seconds to push us all off the point so they could cap. *** By the way - if you're a Mercy and you hear Junkrat's tire, stop healing and either fly away, or pull out your blaster and try to shoot the tire. There's no point in trying to heal, as the tire can one-shot everyone and it'll just be steered through any shields around. I have actually killed two tires in quick succession as a Mercy once.

its not really that obvious, half the time i play with such a variety of skill level in my group that youd assume we were a group of solo queuers. especially since ive never actually seen a stack that communicates any more than "ok i have my ult, lets go"

it's fairly safe to assume that if the entire enemy team leaves as a group after they slaughter you, they were together. also if nobody gets balanced to your team when half of yours ragequits at the end of the round since it won't split groups up, but will balance randos. there's no way to be sure tho

The easiest way to tell that people are in a group is that they all blame the one random guy on their team when they lose. If they're in a group they obviously are supposed to win, and they didn't, so there can be no other explanation.

I play a lot with my brother and his friends and we also kinda don't bother with comms at all, plus we're fuckin' around with other classes all the time. But I feel like almost every time I think people are on voice comms I'm right because it's a level of coordination you don't see from solo queuers.

I don't think goon stacks are particularly, uh... competitively minded? so if you've been playing with them, you're not getting the full tryhard experience that can come with games against groups
