While I'm on the subject of Lucio, I discovered Reason #392 to love him last night:

When smarmy Roadhogs chain you into the pit, it's fun to imagine what their faces look like when they see your beat boxing rear end wall running back out of the pit. :smugbert:

Lucio knows the pain of seeing people climb out of pits all too well.

Some new tracers don't realize you can recall from out-of-bounds though.

That guy was explaining how that won't work if road hog hooks you close enough. The stun time isn't increased for travel time, if you're hooked closer you're stunned for longer after he's done the hook.

This explains a lot. So the stun starts from the instant you're hooked and if you're hooked from far away that's like a half a second of stun wasted in travel time.

Soldier is kinda conventional but he's solid. Landing a direct hit with his rockets while also shooting actual bullets at the same target just melts people and turrets.

McCree could use a nerf but he's also the only real answer to a good Tracer. Mei could use a bit of a buff but not to her freeze utility, as that's good enough where it is. Maybe tweak her icicle shot to make it easier for the average player to use? D.va's fun but a couple weeks ago someone said that her kit was schizo and at odds with her purported role and I agree. She's a flanking/disruptor tank like Winston but her shots root her in place, her Defensive Matrix prevents her from attacking unlike Winston's barrier, and her head hitbox is absurdly gigantic. I like playing as her for kicks but when I see a D.va on the other team all I can think of is "free ult charge," even when I'm playing Lucio. D.va's ult is in a good place for area denial, though. You don't even have to kill anybody with it for it to do its job. Her booster's also good if you can knock people off cliffs with it.

Which is the real reason I play so much Lucio to be honest.

Everybody else who's been playing longer and know how to deal with equally-skilled Widowmakers are the chucklefucks for trying to give advice on how to deal with them.

(there is no advice that will help when the widowmaker is significantly better than you, especially if you're bad at her counters.)

Runa
Feb 13, 2011

Like as a decent widowmaker all it takes to shut me down is one aggressive and sneaky flanker or Winston, it doesn't matter if I can down his barrier in like two charged shots if he's right on top of me and juking around because he doesn't need to aim at all. A widow who can take on a Winston 1v1 in close range is a drat good player.

Dick Trauma posted:

One thing that seems to be common in videos and clips of people doing really well is that they aren't being shot. They're running around (sometimes right in the middle of mayhem) shooting everyone around them but they aren't actively being attacked by anyone. I find that I am constantly being attacked by someone, so my time to live is typically very brief. I'm not sure how other people can go unattacked for long periods of time so they get the chance to use their skills.

It's the main reason I took to picking Winston and just flinging myself into the middle of the enemy team over and over again since I was going to get melted anyway. I did manage to get a few good plays out of that strategy since when he drops in he gets alot of attention which ideally means the rest of your team gets a break.

The last character I tried was Symmetra but needing to be literally right in front of an enemy to hit them with the beam resulted in getting one shotted by... everyone? It seemed any character I attacked could instakill her. I wound up scattering turrets around and popping orbs off in random directions.

On Winston, that's basically the entire idea behind the guy. The only way to stop him from jumping into a team's squishy side is to kill him before he gets there and that's difficult (assuming everybody's playing reasonably intelligently). He actually does exist to disrupt and sow chaos but he has the kit to allow him to not only escape and survive after diving in but also to give his team a precious moment of not being shot at. And when he's not being a really buff flanker he's also great at playing the objective.

Symmetra has the ability to shoot balls that go through walls, players, and reinhardt shields with her RMB. They're slow but they're there and sometimes you can land a decent hit on somebody who didn't expect it. So she actually does have long range options, even if they're more for applying pressure, keeping the other team's heads down, and building up ult rather than outright killing people. Usually. Imagine it being kinda like a Hanzo ult that has no telegraph and a smaller hitbox.

Pretty sure Symmetra's balls don't go through walls.

Though considering how much I do drink and how well I manage to do with Widowmaker, maybe she does need a little tuning down...

What the hell does this even mean? Since when does damage taken build ult? I don't remember that ever being the case.

He means the other team builds ult from hurting the roadhog player.
