After playing for a few hours, my conclusion is that everyone is terrible at this game including me. Except with Rein, I did okay with him.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Welp. I golded healing with 76 compared to our Mercy. Granted I started as Lucio but I quickly dropped him because our team comp had nobody to loving heal (i.e. flankers, snipers, people on a thousand year vision quest to find kills) This was my experience last night. I'm all excited to play a support role, and then my entire team is snipers hanging out 300 yards from the objective.

Macaluso posted:So. I finally gave Mei a real honest shot. This is how I feel about a bunch of classes. Then there are all these characters I can tell I need to be better at the game before I can be effective with them. And then there are a bunch I haven't even tried (Mei being one actually). This game is amazing. I finally tried symmetra and I even had a blast playing her

I literally took it from 0 to 100 by myself as they stood right outside the border of it

Donnerberg posted:I'm not going to say you can't heal your telepad because I have never tried, but I'm pretty sure the turrets have 1 HP. Everything one shots them. McCree's flashbang can probably kill them. I can't decide whether my favorite moment yesterday was single handedly stopping a high noon with Mercy's pistol or launching a tracer off the map just as she reached the capture point with junkrat. This game is so fun.

Speaking of ults, what am I supposed to be doing with Winston's ult? I can't even really tell what's going on. I've been pretty successful with Winston but I basically never remember to use his ult and when I do I feel like I just jump back and forth into corners and swing at air.

Main Paineframe posted:When his ult is active, both his melee attacks and his jump knock people back, and people naturally tend to run from a big raging ulting gorilla. You won't get many kills but you can scatter the enemy team, knock the tough ones out of position, and scare the crap out of their supports and flankers. Jump in and soften 'em up for your team's big push. Okay that's good to know. So basically good as a starter disruption to your team's push, or to scatter the opposition from the objective to buy your team time to get back from spawn, that kind of thing. Question on voice chat: does it automatically confine itself to the same channel as my text chat? Like if my text chat is set to a friend, voice chat will be as well? If not, is there a way to control who hears you? I basically use it to shoot the poo poo with my friends so I don't want to annoy the rest of our team.

NTRabbit posted:If my steaming shitpile of a team is forcing me to play support when I don't want to because no one else will, and even then refuse to change away from two tracers and two snipers that are getting curb stomped rapidly, then I'm quitting the battle regardless of penalty. This means you're going to get rolled in like 2 minutes anyway and it's also an opportunity to mess around with that class you are terrible with/have no idea how to play.

Internet Kraken posted:Okay that makes me feel better about buying this. Probably will sink some money on it tomorrow and then fail miserably because I haven't played an FPS in roughly 3 years. There are practice modes, yeah, including just playing against bots. One thing I'm confused about from just watching a stream: on KotH, do you actually need a teammate standing in the point to get the percentage to tick up, or once you've claimed it the percentage ticks up at a fixed rate?

chumbler posted:I keep reading that Winston is a top choice character, but every time I try him I just can't get anything done with his poor range and damage. I leapt just short of a Widowmaker and she just assault rifle killed me from full health in a single clip. When I ult I just flail around uselessly and more often than not end up punting people to safety. How the hell do you make Winston work? He's the most mobile tank, so he's good for disruption. He's not someone who should just be coming from head on down the main choke like Reinhardt. Use his mobility to find an odd angle, leap into a high priority target or heavy encampment, drop your shield to protect yourself from ranged enemies, kill some squishies and leap back to safety.

Elderbean posted:Junkrat's mine has so much goddamn utility, it's amazing. It's a fantastic finisher, it can be used along with his grenades to zone people out. It can be used to get higher ground, escape from a messy situation, separate healers from their team, etc. I've even used it to escape from roadhogs hook multiple times. I have to strongly fight the urge to play Junkrat on every single map and regardless of team comp. He's so much fun.

PsychoInternetHawk posted:Its more that he hard counters like half of the defense heroes. Not needing line of sight means he shits on anyone who relies heavily on camping in one spot. Junkrat is also ridiculously good as defense on Temple of Anubis. That map is just made for him, so many walls to bounce grenades off of, tons of spots to mine yourself up to, lots of narrow areas to throw traps. He's so fun on that map. For the people complaining about seagull not answering the "who are the worst characters?" question completely yesterday, someone just asked him again about it and again the only name he could come up with was D.Va. Said every character but her gets played in comps.

gandlethorpe posted:Before playing her, I found Symmetra to be one of the least appealing heroes. I've never been a fan of the campy turret playstyle, so I thought I wouldn't like her. After giving her a real chance, she's now one of my favorites. The ability to be really cheeky with turret placement for little downside really changed my view. It also helps that there isn't a scoreboard and I don't feel like I'm feeding points to the enemy. I didn't think I would ever want to play Torbjorn or Symmetra, but both of them are incredibly fun. Symmetra's M2 is really really good. I barely use her M1 (because if I'm that close to an enemy then I hosed up). Just unload her M2 into whatever choke point your team is defending, it really softens the enemy push (especially if they're behind Rein).

Vargs posted:Level 25. Loot so far has been the trashiest garbage imaginable, with 0 skins and 2 epics that ended up being a couple terrible emotes for Soldier 76 and Zarya, who I never play. I've only made around 350 currency. Obviously you're supposed to main whatever the best skin you have is. But I relate, I'm level 18ish and have gotten zero legendary anythings and in terms of skins I've only gotten a couple of the common palette swaps.

Goetta posted:I don't know if this is controversial or anything but I think Bastion is the only garbage hero in the game. Not garbage in super unbalanced, just fun killing and boring. All the other ones are super interesting and offer something unique even if they obviously borrow from something else in the genre,, which is pretty remarkable for a FPS game made in tyool 2016. Widow. If the enemy team has a really good widow it is FAR more frustrating than any Bastion. I got the Vigilante Mcree skin last night and so finally had to play as Mcree and holy poo poo is he fun.

All I know is that Zarya is incredibly fun to play as even though I forget to use her shield like half the time and also forget that her "E" shield doesn't work like Symmetra's.

Jimbot posted:That's a crazy limited window to do that, at least compared to the other heroes. I really want to like her too but it just doesn't stack up with the other heroes. All of them have something to do. She hits E on her teammates when the spawn, puts down annoying turrets and you spam M2 in hopes you do enough damage to put down a teleporter before the enemy team overruns you. I think they should replace her E with the TF2 engineer's aid station. I think that would be a better use of abilities. She's absolutely amazing on certain (all?) defense maps. She can basically entirely lockdown one or two side routes, spam her M2 into the central choke point, and let her teammates skip like 30 seconds of setup time on every death. She's real good.

My six 76 team last night absolutely steamrolled. 6 roadhogs on hanamura offense was... not so good. 6 Lucio's was crazy but my team gave up quickly and we ended up winning with Lucio, pharah, and 4 reapers. Next round we won with Lucio plus 5 Pharah's. Every one of these games was incredibly entertaining.

I accidentally got a Zarya/Hanzo ult combo for a quadruple kill on Anubis attack tonight (random pub hanzo with no voice comm). Then later i got a triple kill using Mei's M2 and singlehandedly saved the payload on Dorado defense. It was a good night.
