Distraction?
>>
>>339029859
A good Genji player will harass everyone much like Tracer does and avoid getting killed with his insane mobility.
And when someone does a mistake that you can punish, it can be game turning. For example, reflecting a turret's fire back at its team mates.

No shit 3 star heroes are almost never used and are constantly shat upon.

He's practically outclassed by Tracer at his archetype but his reflect comes in handy. He's more of a situational pick and he's okay with certain maps.

What?
>>
>>339030048
>>339030102

Funny in 30 levels I haven't seen a single good Genji. Good Tracers like 10.
Also 5 Mercy PoGs and even a Robo-Monk one, but no Genji.

>>339029987
>>339030161

Makes sense. So basically a distraction. Who runs away at low HP and kills stragglers?!
>>
>>339030292

All characters have difficulty ratings. Genji is ranked 3 stars meaning, one of the hardest characters to play.
>>
>>339030395
Yes, and occasionally pulls off some insane shit that turns the tide of the game if you're skilled enough either with his reflect or his ultimate.
>>
>>339029859
He's bad against tanks but excellent against soft targets. Hanzo, Widowmaker, and Bastion all have tons of trouble with Genji. A good Genji can also counter McCree pretty well. However, if you aren't playing a team with a lot of those characters, he won't be that useful.
>>
>>339030285

I see a Tracer being super good and keeping a whole team at toe almost by herself. Genji does nothing for like 10 mins.

Genji being caught in Symmetra's beam is usually a death sentence and I love that.

Depends on map and situation. Tracers ult is not that great. But she's a good work horse.
>>

>He's bad against tanks
peppering their skulls with shurikens from a distance is amazing.

I can't count the amount of roadhogs I've killed this way and even more are the ones that get super annoyed and start chasing me, which leads to them dying.

You mean stupid Genji who goes in with his dash on high HP heroes and leaves himself no escape.
>>
>harassment
>turret denial

His biggest problem is that he actually requires (relatively) advanced movement, aiming and matchup knowldge while being extremely attractive to the lowest common denominator of mouthbreathing retards who want a cool ninja and despise supports.
>>
>>339029859

At least he's a decent annoyer.

Zenyatta has literally no purpose. He's the worst healer so you're better off picking someone else. And he's so frail you're just wasting your time playing him offensively when you could use an actual offense class.

deflect mcree flash, dash is good for tracers.
>>
>>339031812
Even if you deflect McCree's stun your deflect stance actually lasts longer than the stun duration so he can attack you first.
>>
>>339031652
zenyatta can heal and do other things at the same time, and you're seriously underestimating how good orb of discord is. he is really fragile though, you're right.

his ult is also pretty good and charges fast.
>>
>>339030991
I'm shit with Genji. I'll have to try this.
>>
Your average shitter Genji, yes.
I had one game when we were up against a good Genji and the fucker was hanging around in our back line picking most characters after they respawn and run to the frontline alone.
I was playing Torbjorn and he essentially nullified my usability since I was unable to set up. He kept out Mercy at spawn for some minutes too.
>>
When I'm on fire I usually have the most eliminations and damage as him. When used correctly he is devastating.

But one thing that shuts him off is a team that sticks together. He really struggles getting off kills against more than one opponent. But he's ideal to kill off campers.
>>
>>339032031
sounds like your team was just fucking terrible
>>
>>339031913
never deflect it without a swift strike ready. Swift strike cancels any animation, so just cancel deflect with swift strike through mccree and quickly turn around and pop off a few shurikens+melee
>>
>>339029859
Hes useless as shit and outclassed by most other heroes.

Maybe if Blizzard could balance worth one tenth of a damn they would buff junkrat and genji and majorly buff pharah

>dash is good for tracers.
Tracer got 3 dashes, is faster at dealing damage and she can heal too.

>>339031652
zenyatta is a great character in the right hands, he's the one support character that actually needs to be really good. Discord orb is excellent for killing tanks or bastions as long as the team can capitalize on it, his rmb is devastating if you can manage to actually hit it

He's completely wrong, he CAN beat McCree but not if mccree is clever with his flashbang, Tracer however will zoop around making it impossible to land his shurikens reliably and if she fucks up she has her "I fucked up" ability

Please nerf Tracer's Blinks. She gets them retardly fast. And her Ult is a free kill that charges up really quickly.

>>
>>339032345
Zenyatta seems to me to be a great final pick once you have another healer. He does great damage and between Mercy's damage buff and discord orbs your team will be doing insane damage and getting good heals to boot.
>>
>>339032491
The projectile speed and splash damage of his grenades are pathetic.

If he could lay at least one more trap he would be much better defensively
>>
>>339031783
It's hilarious that people are still underestimating how much damage Mercy does with her pistol. You can 1v1 most offensive heroes with it with a bit of luck and skill.
>>
>>339032592
I'm relatively fine with the blinks, that's her gimmick, but her turn back time bullshit should get some kind of nerf. It's basically impossible to kill her off unless you play a character with instakill options ie w.maker, mccree and roadhog

Genji can instantly kill Tracer (and even 200HP heroes if he headshots) at melee range and is far better at range.

>>339032761

My point is any other class is more valuable than a guy who can do nothing but sit back and debuff one enemy at a time because everything in the game one shots him.
>>
>>339032784
You could, but no characters shit on 90% of the cast like she does. She's just incredibly annoying to deal with. And chances are you already have one or two snipers/roadhog on the team (but they never get the tracer) and don't want to shit up the team comp just for that one character
>>
>>339032784
Thing is, her Counters, she can just blink away from your Line of Sight meaning she can just zip around you getting free ult charge. Mei and Winston are her main "counters" but with mei when she starts gets slowed she can just Blink and all your progress of freezing her is gone. Winston kinda has the same problem expect her doesn't do a lot of damage and a Lucio can just passive heal the damage real easy. Symmtra isn't even worth mentioning

>>
>>339032489
That's an oversimplification. Orb of discord isn't the only thing Zenyatta can do and it allows you to effectively "DPS" two targets at once provided your team is splitting their focus. You can discord someone while swapping your healing orb to someone else and doing damage to a second target.

Even if you're terrible you can toss a discord orb on someone you can't hit effectively and let someone else kill them quicker.

Your point would be 100% valid if not for the fact that Zenyatta can heal. Sometimes killing a target isn't as useful as keeping a teammate alive.

Congratulations. You are already better than 50% or more people who play Overwatch just because you have come to that realization.

his heals are nearly as good as mercy and don't require sticking to your target, the discord is one button press with no CD and you do a ridiculous amount of damage for all the utility you have. the only downside is the health pool.
>>
>>339032951
So if you already have some of her counters on your team, and they aren't killing her, does that mean they aren't counters?

Or are you just getting match making against people better than you? (the default game mode in overwatch has MMR from what I've read, correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm just curious about the meta because I remember when it was open beta /v/ was complaining about bastion and mei: low mobility characters. Now /v/ seems to be compaining about high mobility characters.

Basically, even if you're soft and squishy you should get your ass onto the fucking point and delay things by a few seconds. Hell, I've saved a match or two by switching to DVA and then boosting my ass all the way to the point. She's tanky enough to survive for a bit and her human form has to be killed too. It's a damn great way to stall for time.

This. It isn't well telegraphed when it can come through any wall and you don't know where it's coming from until it kills someone.

It's basically luck whether or not you deflect his flashbang since a good McCree will hold onto it since he knows he has the advantage in a regular fight and just kill you normally anyways.

Even when you do stun him it's not going to be a clean kill if he knows how to aim.

For a Mei to wall you off would mean she has flank advantage.

I'm not one of those Mercy players who are unaware of their surroundings or sticks to pocket healing one person so I get dicked as soon as they die or we get separated.

Also, a similar thing happened in another game, but the Mei switched to a Reaper and spent all game hunting me. I could sense the anger in him.

What? he makes team mates do DOUBLE damage on the target, and it also gives the targets position away. That's pretty fucking powerful if you ask me. On top of that, his ult is probably the best ult for defense and offense next to lucios
>>
>>339034472
I agree for Widowmaker, the headshot hitboxes are retardedly huge, it's too easy to do good with her without an instant direct counter like Bastion has. You basically have to go sniper and bully her to repick, but this doesn't take skill or anything, it's literally anti-gameplay.

>>339034472
Those two are fine. Bastion is easy as fuck to counter as long as you don't run right up to him. I don't know how people are having trouble with Widowmaker either; on the teams I've been on there was always a Pharrah or Genji to get behind her and fuck her shit.

The most annoying character in the game is Tracer, a good Tracer is so fucking annoying to deal with. But that's also how she's supposed to be played.
>>
>>339034282
Honestly, I like Mercy more than the Medic. She's fairly competent in a firefight if push comes to shove and that damage boost beam is super useful. I also like her ability to glide to team mates, although I wish you didn't need direct line of sight. It gets kinda terrible when you can't reach someone because a bit of tile is blocking you from line of sight or something.

I wonder if her damage boost stacks? Like, if you got 4 Mercys boosting a Bastion and a Reinhardt using his barrier do you have a near unstoppable defense team?

Widowmaker is pretty easy to bully actually. A dedicated flanker like Genji or Tracer can fuck up her day. Even a Pharah and Junkrat can sort of deal with her on certain maps.

Failing that, pick Dva and keep harassing her every time she sets up camp.

But with orb of discord plus tracking, it makes it a lot easier to charge up your right click before stepping out of a corner and slamming it into someone's face. It's a damn good way of getting rid of Bastion, if you do it fast enough before he can shoot or you have someone to cover for you.

Maybe Widowmaker, so even body shots will kill. McCree is a good choice too, make it so he kills in 1 or 2 shots instead of 2 or 3.

Tracer is a bad idea, since she'll probably teleport and leave you behind. Genji has a similar problem, although boosted shurikens probably do a lot of damage.

Reinhardt is pretty strong too, so a buff can make things easier for him. Firestrikes can become instant kills and hammers will kill in 2 swings instead of 3.

It's not so much she's bad so much as she's hard to use right.

She's a tank, in the sense that she has a lot of HP and has a nifty shield, but she can't "tank" in the same way that Reinhardt or even Roadhog can. She isn't there to be a damage sponge. She's there to boost around until she's in the enemy's backlines and confuse the fuck out of them by attacking from behind before she boosts away while laughing. Her shield basically exists to make sure she doesn't die while approaching.

Don't even focus on getting kills as DVA, just swoop in and distract everyone in your hot pink robot before flying off into the distance. DVA exists to make sure people stop going for the objective and start playing tag with her instead.

Made out of paper is refering to her fucking hp you spastic not her damage. If she gets hit by just one junkrat bomb she is at 30 hp already.

If you want to play waifuwatch so be it but you lot need to stop deluding yourself into thinking D.VA and Zenyatta have a place on any team untill they get buffed.

>>339037274
Wait, so if you shield Reinhardt but attacks hit his barrier you get charge anyway? That's actually fucking amazing!

Interesting thing about Zarya is that I feel like I'mshit with her and yet I seem to do well enough in terms of ranks/score at the end. I get that you have to shield people just before/as they're getting attacked but I haven't really gotten the timing down and a lot of people die SUPER fast in this game.

I feel like her shields don't last long enough? If you put it on a squishy in the middle of a fight, they'd of ran away a LONG time ago because they're squishy. You could put it on a tank, but they're a tank and usually don't need the extra boost anyway.

Basically I just become the local Bastion's shield generator, since everyone is going to go for that fucker.

>Her highest damage is flying into people and meleeing instead of shooting

Fuck I'm stupid, I never even thought of that, is that the secret to DVa?

Anyone ever got a potg with Lucio or Mercy?
>>
>>339037950
Hitting them with boost is 50 dmg, 30 from melee and then tickling them with shotguns in the same vein that the best roadhog combo is hook, hold down leftclick and then melee right after.

>>339038036

Once your in an organized group mercy potgs become quite frequent because its easier to die as a 5 when the teamfight is not in your favor and have mercy reset the fight.

>>339035219
>Who the fuck am I supposed to damage buff?
Widow

a fully charged non head-shot takes off like 75% of an enemies hp.

With the damage buff she can one shit 200hp heroes even without hitting the head which is super useful
>>
>>339037879
You're not putting it on people fast enough.

Also, pick a pub buddy like 76 or Hog or Rein or somebody that gets stuck in and follow them around shielding them the second they start taking damage (but not TOO soon, not until you see the whites of the enemy's eyes).

Your job isn't to reactively save someone some shield, it's to proactively get MAXIMUM CHARGE and melt the enemy into goo, thereby maybe saving your teammate as a side effect of slaying three or four enemies
