Persuade a Roadhog not to self heal and you will get it that way.

I'm not too concerned about it, I usually get lots of likes.
So the players appreciate me even if the game doesn't.

Still have a good few heroes I haven't tried must give them a go next time I'm on.

I did get a POTG as Reinhardt, did a charge and got a triple kill followed by taking the point off the enemy during an overtime leading to us winning.
It was mostly a fluke but I'll take it!

You should probably get that looked at.



Nice one, who were you using?

Soldier 76.

Now that I've got the hang of burst-fire, using Helix Missile BEFORE firing, and throwing down Biotic Field before firefights, I'm surviving & eliminating a whole lot more efficiently.

Also handy that he has infinite sprint.
The others might have jet packs etc. but they have to move in bursts, he only stops moving to shoot or heal.

I haven't used him since I did the tutorial.

Got a legendary! I felt so special...

Also, being killed by a Mercy's pistol whip must be very annoying...

Pharah should should be the the next to be nerfed, splash damage is just silly.

I got 47 eliminations in a game just there and maybe only hit half of them.

Oddly, I think her splash damage seems weak when compared with Sir Spamalot, Junkrat.

Grayditch

I don't think her splash damage is all that powerful. Direct hits are vicious, rightly.

K.O.Kiki

I unlocked Competitive!!

... spent the past 2 hrs on losing teams.

Yeah but when you consider her slow fire, slow reload and only 6 shots, it's balanced enough I think.

I've never been up against too many great Pharahs who wreck the team but some Reapers and S76s can do a hell of a lot more damage.

Finally got "The Car Wash" trophy with Symmetra.

Junkrat only has six shots too and is slow enough?

Sonics2k

Junkrat is life.

I've really gotten into playing the character a lot more as he's useful on a lot more maps than Widowmaker (my usual go to is a Sniper).

I'd say Junkrat is about as limited as Pharah is.

May as well be playing 6v5 with a Hanzo on your team.

Why?

Xenji

Was playing a game earlier and killed the same player about 15 times, I was not targeting them it was just how the game panned out, the next match we are on the same team and they pick Mei, we get to the part of Ilios with the well and he keeps following me and putting the Ice Wall across our spawn point or blocking off the entrance point to the well area, talk about petty and of course it cost us the game.

Because 99% of people, including myself, can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo with him! I'm yet to play with or against the 1% that can.

He stills gets plenty of POTG's with his Wubba Lubba Dubdub ultimate though.

nix

He's great, i get loads of gold kill/damage medals with him, when i first started playing him and Mcree i was **** with them, just takes a bit of getting used to until you get a tact/positioning down.

Winstons the only one who gives me trouble usually, and a real good tracer :mad:

Finally after pulling the ranking back up from 42-50 (Started on 50)

Littlefinger

my ranking is dropping and dropping no matter what I do. I've been mainly playing solo. Down to 28 now.

How come the game only has a handful of working AI heroes?

That kind of sucks

Notice how in Competitive play it's always the Hanzo whinging about how others are doing or telling people to change their class?

Yeah I play against AI a lot and it's almost exclusively combinations of Zarya, S76, Zenyetta, Mcree, Roadhog & Reaper, regardless of match type or whether they're attack or defence.

Almost always two Zaryas too which can be a pain in the jacksy.

I was in a match with a Hanzo that was MVP for the matches he stayed for.
At one point he got a triple kill just using his bow, no abilites.

Later on I flew over to heal him as Mercy, we got rushed by the enemy team so I gave him a damage boost he used his Ult and wiped the entire team.

They are rare but they're out there.

I've a stupid question, does Mercy's damage boost include the Ults?
As in did his Ult do 30% extra damage because I was boosting him?

Yea add away. Haven't been on much during the week lately and put 12 hours into the Witcher 3 this weekend:D but looking forward to giving Overwatch a blast.

Hanzo is used a lot by people new to the game before they move on to someone else, so you'll see lots of weak Hanzos.

I have seen some incredible ones, like the guy who beat me in a 1v1 situation a few times while I was playing Winston. That was embarrassing. A good Hanzo always seems to shoot his ult into the capture area, but in the direction of the enemy spawn point to try catch a few stragglers on their way back to the action.
