One thing I realized between beta and now is that I really don't like how Blizzard has assigned certain powers to certain keys, which completely throws off my normal FPS muscle memory. Does anyone know if there are per-character binds for individual powers, or am I gonna be fighting myself and decades of FPS for a couple of weeks?
yes they have individual bindings

This doesn't make sense for PC users who use a gamepad (shame on them, but they exist!)

The issue they stated was that the developers don't know where to assist your crosshair in the event your crosshairs are near both a sentry turret and an enemy hero.

Does it nudge towards the annoying turrets, or does it nudge towards the enemy hero that you might have a chance to kill if you can get those pesky turrets out of the way?

If you're playing on PC with a gamepad you can just choose a decision because the option of aim assist doesn't exist for you anyway.

If you can find 11 other people you can totally do custom games, with random hero + no changing heroes as a mode

Zenyatta basically cuts enemy HP in half, just throw an orb and swing away (from range)

Zarya shits on Torbjorn and Torbjorn teams, just shield up and crush the dwarfs between your ever increasingly strong swole arms

I just want like ooooone more second on Zarya's shields. Every time a pubbie doofus gets shielded and just stops in their tracks or worse, RUNS BACK AT ME, I die a thousand deaths. NOT ONE STEP BACK, COMRADE SHITBRAIN.

Don't shield so early, shield when they're running in and engaging or even better when you see projectiles coming their way

If you're trying to play Torb on Hanamura A defense, put a turret right here (it's the overpass that's right above the door leading into the courtyard of A defense)



It's sort of difficult for the enemy to get past the choke unless you swing hard right or left and the turret has vision the entire courtyard and parts of the point itself.

I got to level 150 in closed beta but bought 50 boxes because there were sprays and voice overs I needed on all my heroes again right away

Has anyone used Genji's reflection attack against McCree's ultimate?

Is it an instant-kill on McCree?

Yes, but remember Mccree shoots in a sequential order (he shoots from right to left I THINK) so you have to be the first person shot at for it to cancel the the ultimate. So basically get on HIS left as Genji (compared to your team) and aim at his face.

If you're curious on determining range, the yellow stripes in the floor are 5 meters apart. It's how the Oversheet has ranges.

Mei's damage fall off is about 22 meters IIRC from testing. After that her 75 damage Icicles start dropping down to half damage.

I like the idea of playing a gorilla with a gun but his gun is so lame and boring to use
It's great for chasing and diving because you can focus on movement and positioning while dealing consistent damage then get the gently caress out

I imagine 6 Zaryas work well because the turrets won't stop giving you Particle Power

I am pretty pleased at how much praise the game throws at you for winning so I don't bother saying anything after. I mean, you get a giant piece of text that says VICTORY and everyone on the other team gets a red and depressing DEFEAT. Then you get to see your smug rear end face in lights.

The hero brawl this week is pretty okay at learning how to move and shoot as Genji but the timings are probably going to gently caress you up

Shoot Reinhardt's shield. Get in his face if you can, you can totally just walk through it and shoot him in the butt. If you're McCree you can flashbang his head by aiming above and it'll drop the shield and you can go in and mow him down.

Any contributions to an elimination will reset Genji's Swift Strike (Dash). He can deal 1 damage and still get it to reset if his target dies. It also resets automatically when he activates his ultimate I believe.

I have been instantly killed as Tracer from a direct rocket hit, so there's definitely some damage fall off. But generally yeah, you want to get those direct hits and get them hard and close. Even if you play like a mouthbreather, you'll get an end-game mention just for landing direct hits.

Are you sure you didn't get hit by a Boosted Pharah + Mercy? The rocket always does 120 on a direct hit, but should do 156 when she's boosted.

Mei's ultimate has a reverb effect attached to it.
