If the enemy has a decent composition and build their poo poo near the first two entrances there's nothing I can do to penetrate that killzone. Switch to Zarya and soak up all that sweet sweet damage and then kill everything

CJ posted:They can't nerf McCree because Tracer is ridiculous. I liked him more in beta when his flashbang was shorter duration so you still needed snap aiming to get the right click off before the stun ended. Then they buffed the flashbang to make it more reliable at killing Tracer and now it's a free kill pretty much every time. Buff Mcree because Jesus loving Christ playing against a good tracer is a goddamned nightmare

Grammaton posted:Playing Symmetra is pretty challenging. If you can find just the right spot for the turrets she's amazing. On route 66 just around that first bend by the doorway is a sweet spot. They get blasted and don't know what's hitting them. Any room with a health pack is usually a good choice for Symmetra turrets.

Widowmaker's "oh poo poo" close-range weapon shouldn't be any better than D.Va's or Mercy's pistols. Decent weapons but sufficiently outmatched that the smart move is going to be fleeing in most circumstances. It makes no sense balance-wise for her to be able to switch to a 130DPS assault rifle when enemies actually manage to get the drop on her.

Ahhpple posted:In combat she's outclassed at short range by characters like McCree and Reaper who can blow people up before they can react. At long range Widow will just outsnipe her. The wall has some good utility but is situational. Her ult can disable a whole team or deny an area but its better to disable people by killing them instead of freezing them. Yeah but it's fun being a little poo poo, alternating between her E and shift abilities, occasionally sniping some people or throwing a giant freeze bomb onto the objective. I like fun.

flashman posted:Is there plans to add more game modes ? I'm having a blast with the game but the map selection and only having either koth or payload is starting to get a bit stale already. I just wish there was better distribution in the map selections. There are maps that I forget even exist because I see them once every 50 games, then maps like Route 66 or Dorado that show up constantly. Broken Cog posted:My most played characters are Reinhardt and Lucio because no one else wants to play those classes, and Zenyatta is really frustrating to play after you reach a level where your opponents can actually aim. Lucio and Rein are really fun to play though, so that's cool. It is annoying that there are certain characters I never get to try because someone always picks them and for team comp I feel like I should go with someone more useful.

squidgee posted:Junkrat totally owns, I can't believe I ignored his character so far. What a completely fun character (plus, grenade jumps!). Yeah he's the best character because he's good at everything and easy to use. Solumin posted:Also how does Winston's shield actually work? I haven't played him at all, but every time one of them jumps towards me and drops a shield, my reaction is to just... walk inside the shield and keep shooting. I usually end up killing Winston unless he runs away. The good Winston backs up when you walk inside his shield and zaps you from outside of it. It's basically a fixed (weaker) Rein shield for him/his teammates to use as cover, whether inside or outside of it.

Asimo posted:Unrelatedly, Widowmaker can go get hosed too. I admit I'm kinda biased against snipers in general but her rapid super-accurate hitscan instakills really really don't seem to fit the game's feel and flow at all. At least Hanzo and Pharah and Torb and most of the other long-range capable characters have to deal with firing arcs and travel time and such. Agreed, I don't really see what she adds to the game other than making Rein basically mandatory on any maps with long sightlines. I think the game would play just as well without her at all.

Someone Awful! posted:thanks for the reinhardt tips! i think a lot of the problems i've been having has been team comps + playing with pubbies who are too dumb to stand behind the rectangle. i rarely play him when i'm rolling with goons cause there's always someone who's actually good with him and it's a lot of pressure If you want to get a feel for how to play Rein, watch RenbotOW on twitch for a bit. It will give you a really good sense of when to drop shield, when to retreat, when to charge, when to ult. Those are really the areas that distinguish a good Rein from a bad. Also someone said don't flank with him, but there are definitely circumstances when he can be an effective flanker and catching most characters in a small side room with your hammer is a fight you'll usually win. If your shield gets down to about 500 health, back off and let it regenerate. Corner peak with fire strike while it regenerates, or go grab a health pack (this is a good time to find squishies on the flank!). I actually find that Rein is one of the easiest characters to carry pubs with even if your offensive party members suck. If no enemy bastion, use shield and fire strike to close distance, them hammer and charge away. If enemy bastion, then flank cause you're not going to close that distance. Enemy roadhogs are not really worth engaging unless you can hit them with fire strike and a charge before starting to hammer them Papercut fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jun 3, 2016 |

Craptacular! posted:Torb is not really OP, he's just boring to play against, since any where from 30-100% of his damage is handled by the server. TeamFortress put the Engineer class in way back in the day so people on dial-up could help their team without having to aim. It's weird to see that class endure today. Except that this game gives you multiple counters against them that aren't snipers. Genji owns the poo poo out of bastion. Torb's turrets are an especially easy target for Rein's fire strike. Junkrat can just bombard an area from outside line of sight. Mei can stick a wall in their face to let you flank their position. Etc etc etc

Nehru the Damaja posted:This is the other problem with Bastion. He may be easy to beat for some people but unless your entire team has learned how to do it, he's still going to make your life hell by demanding a lot of attention while fighting short-handed. I'd rather see Bastion removed than anything because he just takes that "one bad player can bring down the team" aspect of Overwatch and cranks it up to a billion. There are the every once in a while game where your team is just so poo poo that they can't get past the first choke point, but on average bastions and torbs have not presented some insurmountable defense since the first couple days of release, at least in my games. Hot Dog Day #82 posted:So I lowered the value of my mouse the other night in this game and it felt Like cheating. I always thought it was better to have a super fast cursor in games like this, but after reading some things on the Internet saying I was wrong I gave it a shot! So, that being said, are there any other settings I can mess with in the game that'll give me a better experience? I think, for instance, I read somewhere about a streamer who plays with the graphics on "low" because I guess it somehow makes him more effective? Seagull plays with all of his settings low to maximize his fps, there's no other special reason for it.

Jimbot posted:I really hate Widowmaker. I look forward to the day when they turn her sniper weapon into bolt-action and gives her weapon sway for movement and taking damage. She is so incredibly hard to counter if the team she is on is at least half-way competent. Seriously. I got one of her epic skins so I was like, guess I need to try her. My first game wit her I locked down volskaya A, got potg, didn't even come close to dying. Her clip size is absurd, you can see flankers coming so you can just body shot them once, zip away, body shot them again or unload your M1 into them.

RugClockVexx posted:Antagonize the gently caress out of them. I feel like she excels on maps with choke points (Hanamura defense is my favorite with her). I shield suicidal offensive heroes all the while holding choke points, popping shields, and lobbing M2 bombs. When it comes down to it, people will shoot you if you're shooting them, even if it means making you strong like the mountain. Along this same idea, my friend and I have a ton of success running mei and zarya together. Between her E and shift, Mei has such great survivability that she can be really aggressive, and zarya loves aggressive teammates.

Internet Kraken posted:If Genji uses reflect then Bastion has to stop shooting which means your team can shoot him in the face. He's still a counter. You also use that time when he's not shooting to close ground, then dash through him and M2. If you've softened him up even a little by corner peaking with M1 before that then you're probably going to kill him
