Do I need to have good mechanics or really good aim to enjoy overwatch? Or will I just get rekt and keep dying like in CSGO? I missed open beta so any thoughts? I really wanna pre-order it
>>337060418
Good aim is key.
>>337060418
The beta is still active familia. They extended it by a day.
>>337060418
>Do I need to have good mechanics or really good aim to enjoy overwatch?
Depends who you pick.
McCree, you better be a deadeye.
Reaper or Soldier 76, spray and pray your problems away.
>>337060552
It's to May 10?
>>337060552
This, its still going on for like 20h or so i think
Just play Junkrat. Aiming is optional.
>>337060804
Is spray and pray work though? Or is it like csgo where the spray patterns makes spraying unreliable k
It's a MOBA disguised as a FPS.
The motors skills needed are rather low.
>>337060846
I won't be home until late at night though, and I will sleep as I have to wake up early again. No time
>>337060894
S76 is dead accurate for the first few shots but the patterns change after a while

Not to mention he stomps bastion and tanks into the ground because they're so easy to hit.
>>337060991
That's quite good if what u say is true. I'm bad at high skill games like starcraft or csgo.
Depends what platform you play on really.
If you play on PC you will get raped by people who have that twitch mouse aiming.
If you play on a console, you stand more of a chance, because people cant do an instant 180 headshot
Being old sucks.
>>337060418
it's made for consoles as well, this tells you everything you need to know
>>337060804

Not at all. Just lurk around and wait until someone pops in front of you, then stun + fan the hammer. Voila, you're an assmuncher.

>>337060418
If you play Reinhardt aiming is not an issue. That said you'll need a really good enemy awareness, positioning and decision making to make up for it.
Or play Mercy and spend your time healing/buffing your team mates and use your LShift ability to dodge enemies/reach wounded allies.
Those are the two heroes with the least amount of aiming since one is melee with a hammer and the other is the team medic. I may have missed some.
>>337060804
Spray and pray doesnt work at all in this game since everyone has too much health. You need good aim to be as effective as possible with those classes. if you're not good at aiming i suggest a tank or support character.
>>337060991
This isn't a Battleborn thread.
>>337061387
story of pic?
The game has a low skill ceiling and a low skill floor.
There's a reason every potg is just a Q press, it's because mercs don't have any killing power without their Q press.
>>337060418
If you suck ass at modern FPS games, then you'll suck ass at this game. Simple as day. If you can guarantee two kills for every death, then you're probably good enough to go higher than 2:1.
>>337060418
No, the aiming is really lenient. If you have palsy or something, play hanzo for homing meme arrows
There's often not much you can do about it as opposed to a game like CSGO. This game is not supposed to require much skill
>>337061570
Hanzo's arrow home?
>>337061238
Yeah, McCree is great for just getting a quick one off of someone turning a corner, but Reaper and Soldier both have way more options, they aren't reduced to just hoping someone makes a tight turn around the corner, and then hoping it's a squishy instead of a tank like roadhog or something.
And both have ultras you can actually put to use.
Reaper and Soldier have higher mobility, and more defensive options. Reaper is better close quarters and dps, and Soldier has better mid range offensive options.
So, on the overall, it seems like it serves the team a lot better on more maps and games to pick Reaper or Soldier than McCree.

OP here, getting mixed replies. I'm like silver elite csgo. Yea I now trash. Am I gonna keep dying in overwatch?
>>337061371
>Spray and pray doesnt work at all in this game since everyone has too much health.
I don't mean just aim at the sky, I'm saying your aim doesn't have to be anywhere near as tight to do well as it would for McCree. Reaper and Soldier are far more forgiving and will do just as well as McCree will, especially when you consider ultimates and shit as well.
>>337061657

"There’s one problem with painting your name all over a vehicle. When the vehicle ends up in an accident, it gets a lot of attention. Blizzard had done exactly that, covering a bunch of Uber cars in Overwatch decals for PAX East, only to arrive at the worst possible outcome.
A Ford F650 Supertruck branded after Overwatch character Soldier 76 hit the side of a car outside the PAX convention center, according to GameSpot.
Randy Pitchford, director on Gearbox’s Battleborn witnessed the event, and was fully aware of the irony of it:
No one was hurt, even if the incident did result in a bit of cringe. GameSpot notes that there were no other incidents throughout the weekend concerning the Overwatch Uber cars.
Battleborn and Overwatch are, as Pitchford notes, games competing in the same space – character-driven multiplayer shooters, and both are coming out this month.
Both are coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Battleborn hits on May 3, while Overwatch is set for May 24."
>>337060418
You think you do, but you dont.
memes aside it aint that good of a game. It gets repetitive after a short while. But if you insist on buying it, yes its easier to aim then in most fps games
>>337060418
>mechanics
what?
>aim
lel no they have character just for baddies like you
Bastion, Reaper
>>337061786
Why don't you just open your mouth and let me shove my gorilla dick down your throat instead you pucciboi.
>>337061747
Confirmed for being a brain dead player who never checks his corners.
McCree is an ambush class but he can still take out any other character in open areas provided you have good aim and get close to them.
>>337061898
Mei can out shoot Mcree at a distance. If anything, he's a Reaper edgelord.
>>337061928I'VE GOT YOU IN MY SI- AGH!
>>337061786
They're completely different games.
CSGO takes actual skill, you can potentially take out an entire team in a matter of seconds. No matter how much of a scrub you are in Overwatch you're always going to be able to have a good time and win if you're playing it safe, make someone in your team initiate and then just hold M1
>>337061786
Anon, the aiming is a lot more lenient , idk how many times we need to tell you
>Battleborn director: Randy Pitchford
Why this guy still has a job is beyond me
>>337061786
Just play the fucking beta.
>>337062339
Probably because he owns the company.And they will never go bankrupt as long as Borderlands remains popular among the casual faggots and meme lovers
>not playing winston and going bananas
zero skill, low chance of dying, high reward if you ult near shit people can fall off
Wut do u guys think of he game in general? Would u actually pre-order it?
Inb4 lel pre-order faggot
>>337061747
>Hero is designed for ambush and flanking
>Doing either of these is assmunching
You stupid or something?
>>337062565
I tried and he was way too squishy for a tank class.
Seriously, the Tank classes are a joke, even with a healer you die extremely fast since there's no Uber equivalent to keep the tank going.
The only true tank is Roadhog since he has his food to heal up. But he's also an Ultimate sponge since all the damage he soaks up charges the enemie's Ults.
>>337062616
>that feel when you fly up into the air and unleash Farah's ult on a control point
>>337060418
Long Answer:
The game has auto-aim on most classes, so actually landing your hits requires you to have your crosshair on the enemy, but not actually perfectly on them, to deal damage.
Short Answer:
Play the beta.
>>337062720
No, not pre-order.
I do however plan to buy it for $30 or less off CDKeys when it's released.
>>337062809

>mfw me and my friend go double Lucio on capture the point mode
>constant heals for the team, JSRing all over Ilios map
>other team catches on and deploys 2 Lucios of their own
>literal all out warfare in the middle of the map since no-one is fucking dying due to double Lucios constant heals
>>337062778
Most of the tanks aside from Roadhog have some sort of damage nullifying ability they can use to stay alive. Reinhart's shield is probably the only one that really works in a traditional tank sense as you can block damage for your team as everyone else shoots through it, but all of the tanks have superior survability compared to the other characters.
>>337060418
Use Mei. That cunt just sprays and slow people down until they freeze. Then you can just head shot them while they're still with alt fire and get kills. No skill needed. Also Mercy, Reinhardt and Lucio dont require you aim too much to contribute. You just need to be good at good positioning.
I feel like Pharah's ultimate should heal her to full when she first activates it. It wouldn't stop her from being headshot out of the air or Roadhog hooked out of it, but it'd at least stop her from activating it and then being killed by a single shot from any weapon. As it stands now the only good way to use it is to flank the team and get behind them before using it, and 9/10 times you'll end up running into one lone player in the process who will shave off at least a little bit of your health before you can use it.
No. Half the characters have auto-aim abilities, and the game is too slow to really need to aim anyways.
>>337061667
Not to mention that McCree has no escape options when shit hit the fan and he's a scrawny fag at 200hp who dies in a matter of seconds.
>>337060418
Some characters are harder to play than others
>>337064740
Yeah, frankly, I think McCree either needs a small mobility or health buff.
Right now he's pretty much just for camping around corners and hoping that you're shooting something on the low HP side.
>>337064916
They should increase the distance of his roll to be about the same as Genji's dash
>>337064883
>genki
>hard
>>337060804
That's not really true for 76, if you don't have really good tracking you' won't be able to do shit.
>>337065114
Not a bad idea, I wanted to play him so much because I like gunslingers but as it stands right now I'm not being credit to team with him, I play much better with Pharah or Diva when I want to push and Dwarf and Zenyatta when defending.
Zenyatta is devastating if you have close comrades healing/shielding you.
>>337064883
WASH AWAY THE ANGER!
>>337065114
Yeah, having a roll that moves more than 2 feet and almost never actually gets you out of danger would be nice.
>>337065209
> Genji is easy
> look his ult can kill people
>>337064916
>>337064740
>Meanwhile Mccree is the single most picked hero in competitive matches and has a 100% chance of being picked twice.
>>337065514
HERE I STAND BENEATH THE WARM AND SOOTHING RAIN
>>337065653
Yeah and I wonder how much he helps in actually capturing nodes and pushing the cart vs killing lone players.
McCree in a crowd is dead in seconds, that's a fact, his ult would be useful when flanking enemies BUT you get an audio clue when someone uses it and you can simply turn around and kill him before that.
>>337066452
Well seems like i should watch one of those matches sometime.
I can clearly see why winston and lucy are in the top 3 though.
>>337062778
Winston is just for chaos and killing supports/snipers, the shield is a distraction and his jump is to get behind enemy lines and fuck their medic then get the hell out. Playing him like this will frequently get you PotG.
Also, like >>337063498 said, "tank" in this game just implies damage mitigation and high HP. Winston and D.Va are pretty ill suited for being played as traditional tanks.
>>337066561
Winston has a very useful bubble and Lucio can heal many people without having to focus on one, he's great.
D.Va should be in the attack section of the characters, she's great at hit&run especially on vertical developed maps because she can fly and her ability has a 5 sec CD.
>>337067069
The bubble only has 600 hp compared to Reinhardt's 2000. The thing to do with it is get it near an enemy, then dance around the sides of it to goad the enemy into wasting time trying to kill it or going through to the side you're on so they can actually shoot you. Through all this you'll be shooting them with your primary and getting ready to jump away. It's still okay for dropping around your teammates, but typically everyone clusters into it and becomes easy pickings for a Junkrat, Pharah, or Mei ult.
>>337066452
It's fun to start High Noon, then cancel it quickly and go back to what you were doing. Scatters the enemy team and only takes 50% of your meter.
>>337060418
good aim but you can download some cheats for auto aim
>>337067867
What really? So that's how those insane Widowmaker shots got pulled off.
>>337061747
Scrub Mentality 101 right here.
No, this game is fucking babby's first fps trash. It is literally aimed at plebs that never played a competitive fps in their whole life. With characters that does not even require to aim at all.
You will do fine.
100% serious an honest answer
>>337069084
Bye Felicia.
>>337062720
I did. The beta's fun, that's all that's to it.
>>337060418
Aim is much easier
Bullet RNG is pronounced but more intuitive
move-while-shooting penalty is gone
Abilities are Insanely Important, just short of moba level. Ultimates are game-defining.
You WILL get rekt, but ultimates will allow you to have a couple easy big plays every game without much skill required.
Do any of u find the game fun solo though?
>>337062720
hated it
felt shallow and with an extremely low skill ceiling. Got bored and uninstalled it after a couple of days.
I also hate how safe, generic, cheesy and "inclusive" the characterization his. It feels truly aimed at elementary school kids
>>337062720
If I had any interest in playing FPS games sure. The 40 dollar price tag means BRs and shit won't touch it which is wonderful. But as is, nah. I just can't get interested in FPS games.
>>337072048
No.
Literally only play it with my friend, and will only buy it if she buys it too.
>>337072119
Your post reeks of super special /v/tard. Congratulations.
>>337069084
Why am I bad at it then?
I am familair with FPS like CoD, CS and Insurgency
its honestly more important just to blob up and roll through everything. you don't need aim to spam chokes or hold up Rein's shield. the flank skirmishing is largely irrelevant to winning, leave that to braindead egoDM shitters that love losing.
>>337067648
That's why most teams pick 2 Winstons.
>>337066452
McCree is a paper tiger. He's alright really quickly taking out one person on a flank or rounding a corner with E>RMB, but the vast majority of the time he's not terribly hard to deal with.
He's slow and only has 200 HP, doesn't have the DPS lots of others have, and can't deal with a lot of guys that are outside flashbang range.
And Deadeye tends to fail.
McCree has moments where he's pretty good, but they're very map, and situation dependent, so he's really inconsistent.
>>337072695

the roll is for quick reload so you can double fan a tank, you chimps
>>337073553
Roadhog mostly, since he's kickass.
Junkrat for defence or busting enemy blobs when attacking
Jet Set Negro because he's the most fun and able support
Soldier 76 for being a dude
Bastion when I got a buddy playing Reinhardt for max faggotry on defence
I just started playing Zenyatta, he's overall effectiveness as a support is kinda shit, but he's fun to play.

>>337065209
In this game, against people who have actually hit the low skill ceiling, that would be considered impressive.
Overwatch is the kind of game that looks like a team based shooter, it acts like there's some kind of deep, fast-paced mechanics involved. Really it's a simple shooter that is very lenient on poor playing and gives everyone a chance to win using ultimates. Almost every ultimate is a "press q to get kills" button. Every character counters another so well that anyone can pick someone and get points. Then the game rewards ego through voting and forcing everyone to watch your play of the game.
Just waiting for them to add a cash shop to put a cherry on top.
>>337073553
I find myself playing tanks more than anything. D.Va and Reinhart are my most played, and Roadhog is up there too.
>>337060418

>>337074716
I hate KOTH.
I feel like I have a much lower win rate on that mode than the other two.
>It's another 'every person on your team other than you is utter dogshit episode
I don't know what's going on with the MM today, but I've been getting some straight up fucking retards as teammates. It also doesn't help when the other team has players that are 20, 40 and sometimes 60+ against a team of under level 20. This game desperately needs a server browser or stricter matchmaking algorithms.
>>337074823
Maybe it's just because KOTH was my favorite mode by far back in my TF2 days but it's the one I have the most fun playing.
On the flipside I never liked payload so it's not really something I especially enjoy in this game either. Do like how some maps have it start with a control point that changes into payload mode though.
I've always hated FPS games because of my shit aim. I've stuck to RTS, RPG and fighting games my whole life as a result. I picked up Symmetra in Overwatch and am really pleased with her. She plays like a tactician more than a shooter, placing turrets in critical choke points, and laying traps for the enemy while supporting the team from the side alley ways. I think there are so many different characters that play uniquely that everyone can find someone that suits their personal skills.
>>337074943
>when you want to play as Bastion but your team is shit and doesn't support you at all
Bastion is OP only against shitty pugs and you've got a Mercy and Reinhardt backing you up. Then you can laugh as the kills roll in.
>>337074943
That feels like just about every match I play.
But I feel like that in every shooter so I'm starting to think maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I'm just not carrying hard enough.
>>337074987
>I think there are so many different characters that play uniquely that everyone can find someone that suits their personal skills.
so basically marketing the game as a shooter is a lie
i told everyone this over a year ago, this game has more in common with league than tf2.
>>337060418
you need no ability to aim at all. Game is about knowing the maps and who can get off the most Qs. Its not even a shooter.
>>337074987
>play lucio
>realize how easy it is to jump on walls and be mobile
>hey this slow ass game is fun, now I can juke the other team
>winston and symmetra come up instant lock on and kill me, thus making the entire point of learning any sort of advanced movement unrewarding.
It's like they just threw together a bunch of ideas for a moba and forgot the part where it's supposed to be an FPS.
>>337074943
I think today being the last day of the beta is really bringing out of the shitters. It's not normally this bad.
Has the server been randomly kicking anyone lately?
I wasnt having this issue until today, has happened three times
>>337074987
You're not really supposed to "main" a character so much as to switch to counter certain dominant strats. That's why the variety of characters are there.
See a pesky Bastion? Switch to genji and just COME AT ME SON that bitch. Mei ruining your dei? Switch to sol- phariah and spacebar+m1 her ass.

ok
>>337076153
That's only one way to play the game. I'm personally not playing anyone outside of Symmetra, Mei and sometimes, Mercy.
>>337075934
Aww Lucio, those characters have garbage mobility. You can literally run circles around them faster than they can turn to keep locked on to you. Also if you and Symmetra are standing still and shooting eachother in the face, you will kill her first. Just run away and flank someone else when you see them.
It's so hard to tell 4chans overall option on overwatch. Good shit or bad shit?
>>337060418
Headshots rule all.
Lag also rules all

>>337076524
It's not shit at all. It's just half a fucking game with not much depth. The gameplay it does have is super polished and fun though.
Worth $20 absolutely but not likely to keep your attention as long as TF2 did.
A mi me vale este pinche juego de mierda. Lo unico bueno es todo el material pa que me la jale. Tengo 2 codigos de Beta si algien quiere uno?
>>337060418
There are plenty of classes where good aim is optional, and plenty of classes that make it easier to aim good.
Tracer D Va, and Reaper all have large bullet spread, spraying in the general area of the bad guy usually does the trick.
Junkrat and Pharah use explosives as their primary weapon, so precision is not required.
Bastion's turret form is completely stationary and has no recoil, aiming couldn't be easier.
Dwarfjorn uses turrets, No shooting required.
Mercy and Julio are pure support, if you're attacking with them you should reconsider your life choices.
Winston and Symettra have literal lock-on laser beams as their primary, having an enemy in range and onscreen means it will hit.
I could go on.
Accuracy is literally the least important thing in this game.
>>337062616
>>337076873
Not attacking with Lucio, wat? You should always be firing in the direction of the enemy team. His support is passive for fucks sake.
>get charged by Reinhardt
>charge the motherfucker back and beat his ass
WHO /HANZO/ HERE
Does Hanzo get aimassist on his arrows or something? Almost anytime I see one kill me on a killcam or in a "play of the game" video where he uses the fucking dragon any headshots he does are usually off to the sides rather than actually on the damn head

Let me rephrase:
>You should be defending yourself when playing as Mercy or Lucio, maybe fire off potshots when behind cover or a Reynhard, not being aggressive.
I'll take the hit on that one as I grouped "attacking" with "being aggressive," despite there being a major difference between them.
>>337060418
I keep getting 10+ kill streaks, so I don't think so. I think you're supposed to get a lot of kills in this game.
>put trap down some ways between me and reinhardt when playing Junkrat
>they often charge if theres no one behind them and no one around me
>ALWAYS get stuck in the trap
>get a free kill
>>337077534
Fair enough, just as long as we're clear.
Also you forgot that Reinhart is pretty much pure melee aside from his one easy to aim fire blast.
>>337076524
It's mediocre if you've been actually playing fpses that aren't console trash and "fun" if you haven't. It's a very pretty game with a lot of options on how to play but mostly based around ability usage > aiming. It's what turns a lot of people off because aside from the obvious tickerate problems you get hard countered not by skill but by cooldowns of a different character.
>tackle roadhog as Rein
>pinned and stunned him
>go to swing hammer
>he kills me
I don't understand. Also apparently roadhogs can affect Rein's tackle charge if they push you, I got sent flying in like 3 different directions in one match by lmao2hog
>>337077862
Roadhog is a good counter for Rein. He's got so much health that even if you wall slam him you won't kill him and your hammer only does like 75 damage on a hit. Meanwhile his can 2-3 shot you, and even in point blank range he can hook you to distrupt you long enough for a free shot.
>>337072048
No, reminds me of the days going solo in dota2, shit players, lose constantly. Not getting this pile of trash.

>>337078294
>Playing widow on attack for giggles
>I'm literally riding the payload sniping the enemy team as they run up
>my team's jerking off in a corner or something
We actually won because I was pushing the payload as fucking widow. I have no idea what the rest were doing but if the enemy team wasnt also retarded that wouldn't have worked at all.
>>337078147
Nah I'm better than them, but i'll fuck your boypussy any day
How do I get better aim? I really want to be good with Hanzo and McCree (Beyond flashbang/hammer spam) but I can't hit shit at a distance
>>337078549
>How do I get better at a basic skill
Play more or git gud.
>>337077984
Yeah, sometimes if a map has a pit or ledges and there's a good hog I'll just suicide him off with me. Won matches because of it so why not
I'm actually kind of lost on what to do as rein when my shield is down because he's a big easy target if I can't run back and hide.
>>337078549
Hanzo actually requires some skill since you need to lead your shots and they arc past a certain range, mcree is easier since his is hitscan
>>337078467
Oh you
>>337078549
There are stationary and moving targets on the practice range in the training menu.
Get to it.
>>337078681
>I'm actually kind of lost on what to do as rein when my shield is down because he's a big easy target if I can't run back and hide.
Die.
You gotta manage your shield and play it safe, because without his shield he's pretty fucked. If you can run back to safety do so. If not try to go down in a blaze of glory and charge/hammer people.

Only thing worse is a Genji who never jumps around and harasses groups or tries to take out squishies.
>>337078735
No, you just spam it in general direction of chokepoint and get POTG. Hitboxes and players running wildly will do all the hard work.
It's exactly like Huntsman.
>>337078549
Flashbang/hammer/roll spam is the ONLY fun and effective way to play McCree. He's an infiltrator meant to snek behind enemy lines and ambush people from corners and choke points.
He's kind of a cheeky character and that's why he's mymain

>>337078907
Widow's ult is great because you pretty much can't fuck it up. You can use the dragon at the wrong time and only kill one person or maybe no one at all, but knowing where all the enemies are through walls is always helpful.
>>337079021
You don't really need to ambush anyone with flashbang. Its stun will always get you a free kill
>>337078910
who does the voice of the payload? It sound really familiar
>>337079117
Not saying hers is bad, but a hanzo with ult ready means you're losing a cap point or defense point immediately.
>>337079191
I have no idea but I love it.
> Payload starts going the other way.
> "The trailer is the OTHER way you idiots!"
I wonder if he does other character specific lines.
>>337079151
The stun definitely helps but it's so short in duration that it's not guaranteed to work every time, or on every character.
I've had smart players recover from it and double back on me for the kill before.
>>337062809
>that feel when you are D.Va and block her entire ult with your shield
>>337061786
It's not really a K/D ratio game. You play the objective to win.
You'll do fine, I'm sure - it's your teammates that'll drag you down. When you do finally match up with some decent players, it's a fucking blast.
What character should I try next? I've mostly played Rein and widow
>>337060418

I find D Va to be a pretty fun tank, but I hear a lot of good things about Roadhog.
Hanzo is also the only other sniper

Mainly D. Va and Mercy, but if our teams need it ill play Reinhardt, Mei, and junkrat. I'm starting to like genji and Lucio now though.
>>337073553
>>337081942
Genji is fun.
I have seen CS:GO pros struggle. But tf2 pros seem to find the game easy(seagull, clock, Milo etc.)

Tracer
Holy shit I expected to main a tank fully, and I still like to play a bit of Zarya and Roadhog, but goddamn she's so fun to play. I've gotten my biggest killstreaks with her, wiped out nearly whole teams on control points/payloads, turned the tides so many times. There's just so much you can do with her timey wimey limey shenanigans and I love it. Bastion can't keep his eye on me. Reinhardt is absolutely helpless, I can escape Roadhog after I get hooked, I confound anyone with Recall at the right times. I feel like I got issues against Genji, but I can't put my finger on what.
And she's the cutest thing.
>>337084665

Yep, she's totally a shit character.
What next, gonna say that I'm playing against shitters?

I'm just too twitchy and I can't keep a good lock on anything
Everyone says to lower my sensitivity but I don't really understand how that's supposed to help. Is it supposed to offset my twitching and keep myself from moving too far?
>>337085521
yes, duh. you wont twitch as much. set it to like 20.
>>337085239
No, I'm saying that you are a good player.
And? Doesn't change the fact that Symmetra is not useful
>>337083965
Soldier 76 is my fav. I guess I just like being a generalist.
Useful on every map!
>>337060418
Best hero to play on Ilios is Widowmaker. A good placement and a competent team makes you utterly broken. I went 32/0 on that map, because of a good team.

But thumbing up healers makes healers want to play healer more. Healers are the best. Everyone should play healers.
>>337060418
Fuck it all admit it
I fucking suck at this game. I love some parts of it but hate how OP some of the area effect BS in the game is. If I'm not getting two shotted I lose because of my shit aim.
In SFV I feel like all my skill comes from grinding it out in my worst match ups. In this it feels like I can't "main" anyone. And relying on a dumb ass team isn't my style. I wanna get the full game when it drops but I wonder if I have the patience to git gud enough to beat 6 mother fuckers when my team blows cock.

>>337090592
How does that work out? I've gotten a few kills on her but her peashooter just doesnt seem worth shit. I get more kills just holding down M1 as lucio in the enemy's general direction
>>337091274
It all depends. I'm usually doing clean-up work on turrets and going toe-to-toe with the fat Mad Max fucks, Tracer, and trying to get potshots on Widow so she leaves the team alone. Sometimes it works out, but that still depends on the character.
Like, Mad Max Grande could fuck me up if I don't have anyone to fly off to just to give myself some space, and Tracers are slowly getting easier to deal with. The only ones I absolutely can't take on under any circumstances whatsoever are Reapers.
It's better to just have others do that sorta thing for you if you're playing Mercy.
