It's not the speed on screen it's the way the game is shown. They jump between hero's to often and it can get a bit disorientating (or at least in my opinion)

Whats the best way to deal with genji. I almost feel like running when I see him. With rein I just start swinging haymakers. With bastion I might as well walk off a cliff

Winston kicks his ass.

You've the right idea with Rein though, just swing.

Depends what level you're playing at but with Bastion I've found it best to just fire a brief burst at Genji to let him know you're there, then instantly start healing as he'll probably trigger Deflect. Once you see that happen, just count the two second duration down and then rain hell on him for the eight second cooldown.

Alternatively, what DS said above.

Grayditch

Whenever I've played with Bastion in the past, I'd just heal incrementally while calling out for a helping hand basically.

Same with Rein, I suppose. You're not really going to be able to deal with a good Genji alone. You'll be lucky to get him down low and he'll dart off anyway, so. Staying alive is beating him in a way.

Grayditch

I'm pretty sure I took up Mei just because of Genji.

Rein, mcree flshbang now since upgrade, reaper is ok against him if you pick shots and are accurate enough for when he hops all over the place thanks to his life steal, mei,, zarya, winston.

For me winston is best of the lot though vs him right now thanks to team comps, but if it gets back away from high mobility heros, rein would be best

What is the prison forum.

This is the only forum on boards.ie that a banned account can post. The purpose is to give a banned account an opportunity to appeal a site ban.

Why are my posts not showing?

Your posts are pre-moderated, they will only show when approved by an Administrator.

Is boards.ie out to get you?

Yes.

Is boards.ie run by nerds, power crazed moderators, illiterate little nazis, people who need to get a life, [insert random put down here] ?

Yes and you were probably banned for thinking/saying that.

What are my chances of having the banned status changed

If the ban was a mistake there is a pretty good chance we will listen to your appeal.

If you are demanding about it, you will probably get our backs up and reduce the chances of removing the ban.

If you are humorous about it, you will improve your chances - slightly.

Like most things here at boards HQ - common sense and a little courtesy goes a long way.

Use of Profanity

Cuss words will get you removed from the prison forum.

Check back regularly

Thanks for the tips boss, what's your rank BTW? I'm at 2200

No he was in Prison so must be a Doomfist main. Just broke out and came here to Overwatch. It all makes sense now!!

From 3290 to 3004 in 2 days.

Going back to boring Mercy easy-mode to get some SR back, or minimise losses.

So you're gonna rely on others to try get you up ?
YOU need to be the guy to do the work man !
Believe in yourself.

In other news, Korea again destroying everyone.
Holland must have been a little confident after winning 4-0 yesterday, but they didn't even manage a point against Korea.
Korea not even picking META picks ...no D.VA, no Winston etc (Rhein and Zarya )

Russia and Canada (both very good teams...Canada no.7 seed in the tournament, Russia no.10 seed) playing atm for 1st/2nd place in their group stage...as both won their previous 2 games.
But 2nd place has to face Korea later to advance to Blizzcon...so lose and you're out basically.

Pff, feck that. Time to get carried while smugly thinking I'm the one doing the carrying!

SeantheMan

This Canadian...Mangachu's Pharah....best Pharah I've seen this tournament. Amazing !

Russia, 2016 World Cup finalists....gonna be against Korea and gonna be out already at the group stage.... :eek:

Mercy stuff ain't working, still plummeting! Down to 2881.

So bad that someone immediately thought I was throwing when they looked at my profile at the beginning of a game. He said something like "I think this guy is throwing. He was 3467 and now he's 2920."

Feels bad, man.

Id honestly stop playing, this point in the season people don't care enough to try. I've decided to only play first month of competitive from now on when people actually try

J. Marston

Yeah, I'm gonna after completing the lootbox arcade stuff for this Summer event. 2855 now.

It's PharMercy that's killing me, every single time. My Soldier/McCree isn't good enough to take them out. Tried Zen to constantly discord one of them but no-one else or me can take them out. I'm shít with Pharah so can't fight fire with fire.

Lost a serious amount of SR last night. Was pretty drunk though so can't blame any external factors, but people casually trying out Doomfist in every game can't be helping.

But yeah, drunken late-night weekend solo marathons are a bad idea. I should have learned that lesson by now.

I won back 46 last night so that makes up for the disconnect other day.

Doomfist's OHK is far more annoying than Roadhog's ever was.

I don't think it is. How could do his from a **** away and be nice and safe and you were the only one in danger. Doomfists is a here I am in the middle of your team way and is easier to punish

J. Marston

Not necessarily. Doomfist can charge in, possibly get a kill and then use his other abilities to escape. Uppercut, turn and slam back to his team.

He's kinda similar to peak Roadhog.

The thing is though he has to do it in your face, Mcree flashbang stops him, **** knows roadhogg was safe from that, reaper plays a matador game, tracer can be hard to hit. His hitbox means a hanzo can wreck him

I find it annoying but then again its down to not having quite the same instinctive reactions to its sound yet. Like when you hear other moves you r almost moving before you realise you've reacted.

On a side note, managing to kill 90% of the enemy team through a Zenyatta ultimate is very satisfying:

Nothing beats consigning Pharah to a jetpack failure kill.



Hoo boy, is there a way of improving Sharefactory gif quality?
