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.

i never feel like i understand what range i'm supposed to be at when i try genji. he has the spread shuriken alt-fire, so maybe i'm supposed to get up close with him? but i get creamed when i try...

it just feels like you need a LOT of mechanical/twitch skill to reach basic competency with him, much more than most characters.

feels a little weird to have mechless dva only appear in the moment between firing the ult & calling a new mech, but that might just be because i'm used to the current system. a character who can die twice is cool, but makes more sense without 600 mech hp

zarya isn't hugely focused on mechanical skill, but really relies on you being engaged with what your team is doing and what the enemy is doing. that's a fun playstyle for me

3v3 is gay as hell since everyone only picks roadhog

my first 3v3 game was against a torb+symmetra+sombra; they set up a base in their spawn and sombra cloaked out, shot someone, and then recalled back into their base repeatedly

territory control in fpses is basically the sort of thing you'd only 'get' if you played really old games, like DOOM, Quake, or Halo 5: Guardians. understandable why the devs don't know about it

Just found out that a 5 stack that I teamed up with about two months ago got super offended when I called D.va "the asian chick" and Lucio "the black guy" jokingly during skirmish. Unbeknownst to me they got all super PC and confused and then refused to play with me. Then I was told they were a mix of races and sexualities and didn't find that kind of terminology funny. I said I thought that was pretty gay and a few minutes later I had to delete a bunch of strangers who wouldn't talk to me anymore from Battle.net.

my personal Tracer Style, speaking as a prestigious Gold-Ranked Player

- in fights, wait until they start aiming at you, then blink to the side. repeat as needed (while shooting the whole time). this is especially infuriating to roadhog players.
- if you take more than like 10 points of damage, recall. better to recall too early than too late!
- if you're out of blinks, it's probably time to leave the fight.

Which is also why I recommend being flexible more than just locking in Roadhog every time, so you can learn the things about the characters and be able to explain it to the rest of the team if they're having a specific problem. To flashbang a deflecting genji you take 2 steps back from him and throw it directly at your feet BTW.

thanks for this, and also the other advice! i wasn't actually expecting anyone to offer help (i was mostly just emitting a cry of primal despair), but the things you wrote are cool, and i appreciate them.

also i'm glad that i'm not rank 3500 or whatever you are now because playing vs 3xtank + symmetra every map really does sound like a special kind of hell.

i feel like one of the hardest things for me is learning how to ult effectively. you're using guns and movement abilities constantly, other abilities are mostly on ~6 second timers, but ults you pop maybe once every couple of minutes. makes it a lot harder to practice and get them down, especially for the ults with a lot of potential tricks, like d.va's. i almost always feel like i'm wasting d.va ult when i pop it... even with a 3 second timer, people are pretty good at running away if there isn't a graviton surge active.

First let me explain the Smurf thing. Warp and I enjoy making up names and playing people at war2. We make them think we really suck and then beat them up. But the joke was on me because Zima pulled my own trick on me. He played as Spiderman making me think he sucked. Beaten at my own game! So sad.

Well we have lots of fun playing as smurfs. We talk in smurf. We smurf us some rear end at war 2. I guess that is totally childish, but it sure is fun.

We go to kchat and Spiderman(Zima) asks to join my clan. I still did not know that it was Zima! He got me bad. haha.

Well Zima types, hey "smart rear end", did not catch me this time. Well Smart rear end is what Zima always calls me because really I am one, haha. That is when I realized. He had been playing me the whole time.

But then I realized the joke was on him. He beat me, but He could not beat Warp with 2 allies. He turned out looking like a bigger idiot then me. I got wasted by one person. He got taken out by one with 2 allies to help him. hahahhahahahahahahah.

i think the idea is that you have to win a team fight to cap the flag, like with capturing a point in other maps? (unless the enemy team is incompetent and lets you sneak their flag out)

seems built for stalls, like all ctf modes ever made.
