Post your overwatch main and why you main them
>inb4 maining is bad
What character would you main in a vacuum where the team sets up around your choice
Zarya
>actually blocks real damage that would hurt specific players instead of presenting a large target shield like winston or rienhardt to distract the enemies
>does insane damage on a full charge
>best ult for wombo combos in the game
I have set up more plays of the game than I can count
>is a hard counter to annoying shits that usually ruin pubs like Bastions McRees and Mei
>>340485057
Something I've never figured out even when playing her. I probably just need to press F1, but... how the fuck does she charge up?
Symmetra
>teleporter makes attacking far easier than anything else in the game
>six sentry guns together is pretty much instant death, fuck even three sentry guns are enough, so you can essentially block two door ways with them as you block another place
>high DPS for a gun that auto aims
>one of the best counters to tracer
>>340485324
I love fucking Tracers as Symmetra.
I "main" Junkrat though.
>Take out Badtions easily
>Take out Torb Turrets I can get to
>Fuck up anyone who's fucking up my team
>Reinhardt charging? NOPE, Bear Trap in the way.
>Reinhardt coming closer with shield? Landmine, he walks over it like a dumbass, goes flying when I detonate it behind his shield
>Also, Minejumping.
>Oh hi Genji/Reaper? You got up close and killed me while I left a sliver of health on you? Whoops, sorry, I Just shat out a bunch of suicide bombs and now you're dead too.
I secondary Roadhog. Hook and Shoot, self-heal tank, I wreck your shit.
>>340485262
The more damage she blocks with her shields the more damage she does
Its indicated by the number under the cursor which starts at zero and goes to a hundred. The charge decays at about 1-2 charge per second
>"Maining" a character
>In a game built around switching as the situation sees fit
Why.
>inb4 scapegoat generic "i ply 2 hav funz!!!" excuse
>>340485262
Absorb damage with her shield. Also works with the shield you put on others.
>>340485057
I don't really main anyone. My most played are mercy and reinhardt but that's just because they win games. If I had to pick a favorite though I'd say pharah.
>>340485798
I'd seen the number yeah but never put together how she obtained it to begin with. I had her in the Brawl earlier today and had no idea why I was doin such shit damage while other Zaryas melted me. Guess I see why they shield so constantly.
>>340485057
Mercy.
Because every team needs a support and I'm actually really good with her.
>>340485601
>I "main" Junkrat
I bet you love playing Reaper, or any other baby's first character, too.
>>340485057
I want to git gud with her, but I can't seem to hit shit with that beam
>>340485057

>>340485823
What character do you have fun with and why, then.
Maining IS bad you retard
Tracer, because I get off on making people frustrated. There's nothing better than getting a Genji, D.Va and Mercy chasing you around at their spawn while your team just hangs out on the point uncontested in KOTH. Her ult isn't as easy to properly use as, say, Hanzo, but when it works it REALLY works. I don't main characters, but she's my favorite.
Maining isn't really a good idea in Overwatch, but I've had the most play time with Junkrat.
I like him because he's really good as an offensive and defensive character, and flying all over the fucking place with him is fun as shit. I also really like his default look, especially with the jail colors.
>>340486052
Naw Reaper's ridiculous. If I'm using an Offense character it's usually 76.
I just tend to prefer Junkrat when I'm not tank carrying or fulfilling a low offense team because he's effective in decent hands.
I will never use Bastion simply out of principle. Going Bastion is usually a sign that your team will lose unless the team works to protect him, which is just carrying a lazy fuck.

Reinhardt
I like to protect people from death
I want to take as much damage as needed to keep my team alive
I want to embrace them and let it all hit me while they run away
But I also want to hit Mei in the fucking face with my big ass hammer.I'm tall and buff, thus I can relate
>>340485057
I don't "main" anyone, but I love playing Lucio and this is the only legendary skin I have, so I usually end up playing him
>>340485057
I don't own it, but I'd main Zarya if I did because muscular girls are hot.
I tend to main Mercy or D.va but I'm so tired of playing with randoms. Anyone on here play on the xbone?
>>340485823
having a "main" character is not the same as only playing that same character no matter what. for instance, I generally pick Lucio at the beginning because he's a mobile and effective enough support to have on either offense or defense. If we're having a hard time getting to the objective, i'll grab an offense like genji or McCree. If we're having trouble holding and objective, then I'll grab bastion or torbjorn. Then if nobody else is willing to get on a tank, I"ll get on Reinhardt and suck ass as him for a while before someone else decides to tank better.
Lucio because I can pretend I'm playing Jet Set Radio on Hanamura.
Roadhog because everyone thinks hes ugly and gross and I fight for the underdog.
>>340485324
This. The teleporter is so fucking useful attacking and defending. Her turrets are great to put in awkward places around 1 choke point for maximum effect and her with a little bit of luck I regularly beat out reapers at point blank range through pure damage and not having to aim.
>>340486952
>Underdog
>Second most played tank
>>340486618
>xbone
>>340487126
He shouldnt even be classified as a tank.
As a tank hes just an ult-feeding sandbag.
Reinhardt
>Protects the innocent
>Can perform noble sacrifices
>Carries around a colossal hammer
>I just really like protecting my team
If only my team would use my shield
I haven't played a lot of Symmetra, but when your beam charges up do you start moving faster too? It feels like it a little bit when I kill someone and make my escape.
>>340487214
>ult-feeding sandbag
Now this has been discussed to death and generally isn't true. With people who play him right, he's killing them often enough that half their time is wasted running back from spawn instead of building any ult they would otherwise.
>>340485823
Nothing about "maining" implies you only play that character 100% of the time. I play my main anytime it isn't a bad idea, and play whatever else is appropriate in other situations. Plus there are some characters who fit in pretty much any situation.
>>340485057
My sort of Main, secondary etc. is as follows...
Mercy (if on attack)
Symmetra (if on defense)
Phara
Tracer
Winston
So if someone is already one of those people and they want to take the role I'll go down the list. I don't really have anyone for the "Defense" position yet. I've dabbled with Widowmaker but I was never a great sniper. But if someone is fucking us up with a turret or whatever I'll try and go widowmaker specifically to take them out.
>>340486291
good thing you cut that short before the part where tracer died to trashmouse's death bombs
>>340485823
I have a character I enjoy playing and am really good at, widow.
then I have other characters I am good at and play if needed, and also enjoy playing, but are not my first pick, hog genji mcree
>>340487810
I didn't die, ran away and my team capped the point for an easy win. Ended it there because that's as long as highlights last. No good Tracer fucks with a Junkrat that knows where she is, because you'll just get stuck in a trap and bombed to death like a retard.I should know, Junkrat is my most played hero.
Torbjorn is the best pubbie character for obvious reasons
>>340485823
>actually objectively literally being this retarded.
I want to main Zarya for a tank but I just can't get used to shield other players to get above 50%
Either I shield them and they do fuck all or I shield them and the enemy immediately stops firing at them because Im not level 2 anymore and people have a semblance of what to do. On top of the constant thought of "But what if you needed that shield later" so I dont use it at all.
I just cant fucking do it I guess
>>340488162
be perceptive
if you see an enemy mcreee coming for some squishy class it's easy to put the shield on as soon as he lands his stun
Torbjorn.
Placing that turret in a position that the enemy won't expect it is nothing short of an art-form. Placing it somewhere unexpected where it will go off at just the right moment is so satisfying.
After it's down, the bitch-move is to stand right by it. A good Torbjorn goes roaming. Poke at my enemy with M1 and hunt them to extinction with M2.
All the while making sure Mercy and Widowmaker have nice and full armor-packs.
Torbjorn is GOAT.And he shines on attack too.
>>340488162
Zarya is only good for the first 10 levels. After that everyone's figured out her deal, and most will avoid her while her shield's up.
The only way GOOD Zarya players can actually get any charge is to cast it on an ally while projectiles are inbound.
How do I play Reaper better?
>>340488339
>Place turret
>Tracer runs in and dies like a retard twice
>Play Tracer more than any other hero, so I know what he's planning
>Move turret to a different spot overlooking the first one
>Tracer zips in, throws her bomb at nothing, and recalls right into my turrets view and dies
Truly an art form.
I like Street Pig the most because shotguns are my favorite weapon type in shooters and get-over-here tools are fun as fuck, especially when you nail down hooking dodgy, annoying characters.
I play Genji and Lucio almost equally, followed by tanks.
>>340488537
Knowing that you've mindfucked that Tracer so thoroughly that you can place the turret counter-actively is some of the fun of Torbjorn.
I once ruined some Phara who couldn't into peaking and decided to ult where she thought my turret was, only to get shot in the back because I'd obviously moved it.
Torbjorn's turret-kills should never land him POTGs though.
mcree
because i have no idea what i'm doing but i like guns that actually take skill to aim and aren't full of magic abilities and shit
i should honestly just stick to CS
>>340488836
Seconded. I'm not a terribly good McREEEEE, but I kinda' dig the concept that he's just a guy with a really nice pistol.
None of that fancy cybernetics bullshit. Just a really high-class gun.

"Mains" are for faggots and retards. That being said, I play Pharah more than any other character, simply because I enjoy watching supports and close range assaults shit their pants while I fire mechanized dildos directly in to their ass-holes.
>>340488520
This is objectively false because I see my retard team constantly push that bitch's energy up all the time. Its just 70% me needing to l2p and 30% being matched with fucknuts
>>340485057
>inb4 maining is bad
Because it fucking is. You can have a favorite Assault, Defense, Tank, Support but you shouldn't fuck up your team balance just to play your character. Fucks like you are why I have to carry my team. You can't play Genji on defense fucking ever for example, it just doesn't work.
>>340489076
you take pubs pretty seriously

>>340489018
Nah tho, it's a giant glowing ball. It's not exactly hard to avoid shooting at.

It's not hard for a Bastion to stop shooting at Genji too, but they keep doing it. People are dumb man.
>>340485057
>wombo combo
bitch just get 80%+ charge and drop it on the team yourself, usually 2-3 kills of squishies at least.
Really though I was getting super bored with the game until I picked up Zarya, now I have a character I can play all the time on defense or offense and actually enjoy playing.

I find that almost every hero works on both attack and defense if the situation calls for it.
I had an attacking match recently where the enemy played a really good Reinhardt but lacked flankers.
In result, one of my team-mates switched to Bastion and we tore through that shield as if it was nothing.
It's all about the situation.
>>340489132

>>340485057
Guys I have a suspicion that Overwatch PURPOSELY inflates your kills so you keep playing.
There have been many, many times where it says I've gotten a kill when I LITERALLY have not and know I have not.
There's a reason why we cannot see other players scores. It's because when you do some damage (not lethal) to a player, you and a few others that contributed may receive feedback that you killed someone.
Anyone confirm/deny?
>>340489530
she hates the robot scum and destroys them for a living
I main junkrat because mine > airshot is the only thing in the game that makes me feel skilled.
If tracer had a shotgun I'd main her, because I enjoy flanking and harassing the backline. But after 9 years of Scout/Soldier/Demo, I just can't track targets with automatic weapons any more. I'm too used to just twitching my crosshair to the appropriate spot when it's time to fire again. Can't keep it trained on a target for the life of me.

I make sure to be at least acceptable at all roles. Then, when a game starts, I insta-lock the character I want to play.
Then I just wait. If my entire team fills up and we're missing something, I switch THEN.
You end up playing what you like a lot more often that way.

>>340489572
Are you serious? There is a difference between elimination and killing blow.
>>340489572
If you damaged a character it still counts as an elimination. Depending on how much damage you did to them, you get more points. This prevents your kills from being stolen from someone else. Stop being so paranoid faggot
>>340489572
Kills and assists both fall under Eliminations, that's why it always looks so high. You could breath on an enemy that your friend kills and you'll have an elimination.
>>340489717
Why are you saying "no shit"?
Is it common knowledge that Overwatch inflates your kill score?
depends on offense/defense or team comp
>mercy - defense or maps/teams who stick together. I use her gun a lot to pick of targets, like widowmaker or torn/bastion's
>Lucio - offense, especially capture matches
>S.76 - my general all-around offensive selection

>Torn - map dependent, I usually end up with POTG showing me picking my nose, but I get 49% of team kills doing it. Like to kill reinhardts with my hammer

I'm not talking about assists or the general term 'eliminations'.
I'm talking about KILLS.
>>340489116
I'm dreaming for competitive mode, trust me. I just thought past a certain level people would start to understand how the game works and would at least try to win.
>>340489384
>If the situation calls for it
That's completely true, problem is that's hardly why people pick certain heroes. I bring up Genji because him and Reaper are the worst in terms of my team picking them when it's completely unnecessary. If we're on defense and I'm somehow getting gold for eliminations as Lucio when there's two Genjis out there, you can bet I'm going to get pissed.
>>340489818
Yes, it is common knowledge that an elimination is a kill or an assist. I'm surprised somebody didn't realize this immediately. It even shows you what percentage you contributed to each elimination.
>>340489214
LuciOP is dirty. Just run around mashing E and shooting stuff and win 70% of games.
>Zarya's shield blips on and off when you use it
>lasts forever when you're opponent uses it
>>340489572
The way I think it goes is
Eliminations = Assist and your killing blows
If you dealt any damage or even a knockback a few seconds before a character dies, it counts as an elimination.
The number before the flame represents how much % you contributed to the elimination.
i play mcree on offense and widowmaker on defense
i hate random spreads and magic cybernetic shit
>>340489693
The few times I've got anything going with Zenyatta is when the enemy is stacking tanks, discord orb is so good for this. Since most teams will have single support comps, his healing just isn't enough by himself.
>>340489727
He's definitely one of the most balanced characters, and I appreciate him for that. He's not spectacular, but he's not shit either, and he doesn't have any glaring flaws that I've noticed. I've never been killed by a Reaper and felt cheated afterwards like I do when Hanzo blindfires a scattershot around a corner and eats 80% of my health as Reinhardt.
>>340489908
There are no "kills" you stupid fucking NEET. Kill is synonymous with Elimination
>>340489934
No, you didn't read my post. I am talking about "kills". When the game notifies you that you have killed someone.
>>340489818
It's common knowledge that if you damage someone you get credited towards the kill. There's 2 separate stats for eliminations and killing blows so you know how many you actually finished off. This is easily seen by people not mentally handicapped
>>340485057

>>340485823
you'd be surprised. There is a leaderboard website that pulls from bnet and the top 100 on each console (and pc) all play just one character. Its how they boost their score up high enough so they can rank and feel important.
I rotate too much and adjust to the game/team to care about score.
>>340490023
That's an elimination.
>Zenyatta

>>340490023
Yeah it'll say "Elimination 100" which means you did 100% of the damage against the other person or "Elimination 23" to show you did 23% of the damage. You can tell if you finished them off by looking at the kill feed or look at your killing blow stat
>>340488536
Get behind them faggot
>>340489986
I think he's pretty good with constant harassers like 76 and tracer and he turns their pecks into very dangerous bites, it's also pretty good being able to heal phara from safety and his heal combined with zarya (and discorc orb) works well with her regenerating hp and constant barrage of damage.

pyro's alt fire deflects projectiles and knocks people away, even his stickies. It's the best way to make casual demos mad since they don't realize pyro is their hard counter til they're picking grenades out of their teeth.
Junkrat needs line of sight, so mei is one way to annoy them. Zarya gets free charge off the slow ones, so there's another. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Thanks for posting this, I want to see what my actual kills are.
What would you all consider a good elimination/death ratio? In most FPS it's above 1.00 but in Overwatch eliminations are obviously inflated.
>>340490792
Always use heal unless you're approaching the objective or helping your team retreat. Making everyone run around fast just disorients them.
Shoot stuff a lot. His damage output is pretty good.

how bad at aiming do you have to be to think this? his revolver has no spread. he's one of the only people who can legit pick players off from distance while still being nuts close range too. i guess actually have to aim and control your mouse is too much work for some players
I can't see myself "maining", but I like Reaper, Soldier, and Roadhog. They're good all-around and it feels nice to shoot people with them.
>>340490609
Nah I like Genji and Tracer, they're 2 of the harder characters in the game to play so when I lose to one I know I'm outplayed. They're just really fun to duel with due to their unique movesets and mobility.
>>340490792
grind on people, grind on walls. Use alt fire to knock people off objectives, or off map. Great for making mei's mad. speed for getting to the objective, health for keeping it. E when things heat up. Also, your knockback needs ammo in the gun, but doesn't use it. shit's stupid. use his ult for pushes or when people push you, those spike in shields helps with the first burst of damage. but yea do that and you'll get wins and playcards, maybe even a POTG.
>>340490792
>If you're between the objective and the spawn, use speed boost.
>If you're on the objective, use regen
>use E when combat gets heavy or when you see teammates getting low.
>don't stop shooting. Lucio's weapon is pretty decent. The secondary fire is great for dealing with Genji.
>Keep moving. even if its just side to side, dont stop moving.
>>340488162
I find Zarya is really effective when Winston is on the other team, he'll often unintentionally hit Zarya or another barriered teammate with his tesla gun. Other than that, you need to shield teammates that are already being fired upon, not ones that will be fired upon in the next second. I play with 40s-70s mostly and I have no trouble charging up.
>>340490861
It's a team game. The main goal is the objective. That's why people get shit like gold medals and xp for their progress for the objective.
Rewarding people for killing people by themselves instead of racking up points by killing people as a group is counter productive for this kind of game.
>>340491047
It's all I see people do
>>340489727
as a roadhog main reaper is the only character i can't stand
if i miss my hook, i'm as good as dead
>>340490851
>every other character has some magical powers or some stupid bullshit
>i just have a revolver and grenades
>>340490578
Have fun when he gets nerfed
>>340491204
Still a gimmmick. Plus he has dead eye.
>>340491018
I read somewhere that he takes extra damage from Zenyatta (not from Discord orb, just generally) so Zen is a counter to him. But maybe that's not true because I'm having trouble finding the source now.
>>340491253
I really don't see why he'd get nerfed. He's solid but not amazing. Also his ult kind of sucks.
>tfw army/soldier/military type character with a bolt action rifle primary whose ult is a motivating yell which increases teammates health and damage for a short period, e is a bugle which increases all teammates' speed for a short period, and left shift is a rope that lets you climb up on higher places
why even live? why does blizzard suck so much with characters?
I enjoy being a nuisance with Mei and getting icicle headshots
though you gotta know when and where to pop that ice wall
>>340491056
>Also, your knockback needs ammo in the gun, but doesn't use it.
objectively wrong
it uses 4 ammo
>>340485057
her ult is basically a worse version of reinhardts
still really useful though, great character in general
>>340491435
His fan the hammer kills tanks in one hit that's my main concern. Also his flash any stun is incredibly annoying because he can instant kill anything after he has the stun, not sure how they are going to fix that if they do. It's like having a pocket I'll you can use at any time.
>>340490293
Demoman has a very high skill ceiling though.
I suspect you were bad at the game
>>340491253
The nerf won't really bother me too much, I do most of my work with left clicks. Flashbang and fan is still going to be just as effective on squishy characters anyways.
>>340491435
> Also his ult kind of sucks.
This, there's not much to nerf. Not to mention his SHIFT roll is fucking useless asides from getting a quick reload in. For Dead Eye to hit you need a bunch of enemies who are dumb enough to stand around once they hear "It's High Noon" from halfway across the map. E+M2 combo is the only reason people don't like him but that's also so he can be a hard counter to Tracer and Lucio.
>>340491457
Meis that don't know when to place their icewall are the absolute worst
>Playing as Pharah
>About to rain justice upon opponents
>Mei on my team makes a wall right in front of me
>Explosion kills me
>>340488029
King of the Hill makes playing Bastion and Torbjorn much more fun
>>340491601
Pocket ult I mean.
>>340491616
no one is bad at TF2. the game is piss easy if you've ever played CS before
>>340491512
I figured I was wrong, my bad. it's one of those things I never bothered to look at since most of the time I'm just giving people lap dances.
>>340491457
>Play Mei for the first time
>Go to put up an ice wall and block the enemy team in a tight hallway
>Pharah uses ult at the same time and shoots all her rockets into my wall
I enjoy Hanzo. One day I'll hit top #300 in score a min.
I'm quite happy that I have more gold medals then my silver and bronze combined
>>340488029
Might as well post it
If a genji presses E, can you still shoot him from behind?
>>340492021
Yes
>>340485057
i play reinhardt not because i have too
but because i like smashing niggers with a big hammer and flaunting my superior german techonolgy
>>340489132
That emote is a good display of Tracer's silliness, but her voice acting is seriously terrible.
Genji
>Bastions kill themselves
>Eager McRees, Widowmakers and Pharahs kill themselves
>Can "steal" projectile based ults
>Swift strike is fun as shit resets on ANY elimination allowing you to be constantly moving
>Double jump
>Can slaughter squishes before their team can react
>>340492339
I hate her personality too. It really seems like "She's British" is the only thing I get out of her.
>>340485057
Winston, because I love harassment characters like him.
Is that a Widow you have over there? She gets the Monkey Love.
Is a Genji looking for some health? He needs some sweet sweet micro dick.
A Mercy separated from the group? Time to jump up jump up and get down.
A Symmetra has built a nest? The Dong expands.
Is someone trying to get into the point? welcome to the Thunder Dome population: my whole team a shield, and you.
I love everything about the guy.
In fact I pretty much love all the tank characters. Easily my favorite class. Aggressive Reinhardt is fun as fuck.
It's really a toss up between Reinhardt and Winston.
>>340489016
>That feel when 1v1ing bad Pharrahs with Zenyatta
I almost feel bad, but fuck, learn to aim.
>ITS A LETS PLAY ATTACK TROBJORN ON TEMPLE RERUN
>>340492536
Its just the fact that her most prominent lines are caked in faggy british-isms. Her exchanges with Widowmaker, Lucio, and even herself, are great. Because they arent OY BLOODY HELL ME LUVS
Her extremely bland interaction with Widowmaker is her best
>>340492452
>Ryujin no ken o kurae!
One of the most badass sounding ults too.
>>340491448
Holy shit that would be awesome
Although I don't like that it's another sniper, but I do like that there would be more competition against widow and hanzo
>>340493117
>Playing with randoms on Attack
>Some guy convinces us to all go Trobjorn

One of the most fun games I had
>>340487202
d bry wouldn't care what console u play on as long as ur having fun
>>340493265
>not going all 76
its like you dont even wanna make the cut
>>340485324
I main D.Va because she's cute
>>340491343
Zenyatta is a pretty effective counter against him because of Orb of Discord. I can't tell you how many times I've finished off a Roadhog that tried to Take a Breather.
>>340485057
>Wanted to buy Overwatch now that the Uni semester is over
>PC suddenly decides to shit itself
Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't play this game, but I want to play it more than ever now that I literally can not.
Mercy because I typically play with a Pharah and Mercy + Pharah make an amazing combo. I also just like the overall feel of Mercy, I feel like she can be a great asset for a team.
I main Tor, 76, Rein and Lucio. Trying to get a bit better with Hanzo but I have trouble with sniping characters.
also, bless whoever posted this webm from before, it never fails to crack me up
Junkrat
he is fun
>>340493360
>doing a meme setup instead of something truly fun
>>340493706
I remember one time I was playing with a Mercy that would fucking hit Q every fucking time it was up, regardless of the situation. Just, what the fuck.
I wouldn't call them mains, but I'm not too bad with them:
Reinhardt
>protect my mates
>3rd person sight is very useful to look around
>get to smash peoples faces with a giant hammer
>flame strike ignores barriers, noone exept Zarya is safe
>can literally charge into enemies
>his ult at the right moment will shatter the enemy line unlike Hanzo where they can run away from and survive
Roadhog
>hook, shoot, melee and most enemies are dead
>can heal himself, support is optional
>can hook people down a hole (e.g. the well on Illios)
>can push people off the objective with his ult, very useful in overtime payload defense
Zarya
>essentially what OP said
>devestating when fully charged, can melt anyone in seconds
>her shields give brief invincibility (I got PotG once for saving a Junkrat from a D.Va ult, instant 100 energy is sweet, naturally I killed the D.Va, her meka at least), can protect a Pharah during her ult (I never got the chance to so far, unfortunately)
>very useful ult in combination with a high damage ult, can even deny enemies the overtime since most can't get out and reach the objective
Lucio
>heal people just by being near them
>can skate away from danger
>wallriding is fun
>team's gotta go fast!
>push people away or down a cliff
>ult is really useful for a lot of situations
>can defend himself all the time
Mercy
>best single target healing
>damage boosting is very helpful, given the receiver can hit
>zipping around with LShift is fun
>her ult can secure your position again, given the situation. dead tanks can't protect anyone.
>most people underestimate her pistol, is does 20dmg per shot for 100 dps afaik
maining is bad.
but i do it anyway like a shitter.
>Soldier 76
>Has a spot on literally any team
>huge DPS if you can headshot, burst fire is great for medium-long ranges
>biotic field lets you drag out fights until you win
>we're all soldiers now
>>340493726
>giving the covenant back their bomb
>>340493878
I generally save my q if I can revive 2+ people, my pocket died in a critical situation, or if someone died that's a really big asset for the situation.
>>340493117
Had this happen with a rienhardt and mercy shielding and rezzing them
Ended up convincing my team to go full rienhardt and just walk past their nest and take the point We didnt even try to kill any of them and me and one other guy ran for point B as soon as they started capping A
Got the game done within a minute after making the switch
Tracer
Niggas couldn't hit me if they wanted to.
Offense: Soldier 76
Defense: Junkrat/Torbjorn
Tank: Roadhog
Support: Mercy
>>340494074

fuck i'm retarded, why haven't i ever thought of that?

I've been working really hard at getting good with Genji. I usually go for Genji unless my team obviously needs something else. I want to be good with him, man. He's fun to play as and when you start pulling Raiden bullshit it's the best feeling.
>>340492901
my nigga
>>340494163
It only works well if your team cooridnates well
If someone had actually gone for killing their team they would have respawned and fucked me and the other guy up instead they just turtled up and and blocked the entrance so they couldnt get to b
>>340485057
Pharah
>>340485262
Barriers on yourself and allies block 200 damage
200 blocked damage = 50 charge
1% damage increase per charge, slowly falls off at a rate of 2% per second
It's not a panic button, you got to time it right to wreck people and make them pay for their eagerness to kill your team
JUST A SCRATCH
COME ON HIT ME
GET IN THERE
BARRIER'S ON YOU
most hours as zenyatta but i play everyone
>tfw teaming with a tank and zapping niggas left and right
>>340493163
shouting about your fursona is not 'cool'
>>340494410
But as much as I love Winston, going Hamhardt is some kind of unique satisfaction that I just can't describe.
>>340489558
As a Genji player this kind of tilts me too. It's like are you so one track minded on holding m1 in turret mode that you can't get out and actually use your other skills or just retreat?
I shit you not, I ambushed a bastion who was in the walking form or whatever, and he literally dropped down into turret 2 feet away from me and tried to mow me down that way.
>>340494531
>Barriers on yourself and allies block 200 damage
projected barrier is actually 400
Offense: Soldier 76. I like how straightforward he is, he can take potshots, heal allies, and the ult can clear an area out quickly in conjunction with your teammates.
Defense: Junkrat. Yeah, you don't have to aim much, but I like to hide out in an enclosure, lay a beartrap as a burgler alarm, and have a concussion mine ready for a speedy getaway. His riptire charges really fast, and can take out problematic enemies, or groups thereof if you're lucky.
Tank: Roadhog. His survavbility is insane. Take too much damage? Chug some canned air. Hook people and one-shot them. The fact that I have pretty good hook accuracy makes him more fun for me, and his ult can get enemies off the point quick, and might even kill some, too.
Support: Lucio for all of the reasons every other anon stated. I want to learn Symmetra, though, she seems really good from the hour or two I've played as her.
>>340489637
I get the impression in the future her and Genji will have some story together. One of her in game lines is about how she can trust him since hes mostly machine.
>>340485823
Switching once is acceptable, switching anymore and you'reguilty of dying too much and wasting ultimate meter. Also throwing off team synergy
>>340494672
no it's not m8
http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Zarya
>>340485823
the "i ply 2 hav funz!!!" are the people who need to uninstall.
Defending while paylaod is literally meters away while a Widow and Hanzo were up close and personal as if they were Reapers refusing to switch to help us hold them back. Niether of them bothered taking out the other widow chippng at us.
>>340494749
the fuck
I swear it was 400, said so during open beta at least on the same site
>>340494531
You forget the most important like that comes up on kills sometimes
>DO YOU EVEN LYFT?
>>340494629
Reinhardt looks so fun but I'm so bad at him, I find it really hard keeping track of meleeing people.
>>340486618
I do, what's your Gamertag?
>>340494672
>>340494531
well saying they "block X damage" is wrong.
the barriers have 200 health, and block all damage. meaning they can block more damage than they have health for.
>>340489016
If you're counterpicking you're dying too much.
>>340489572
>>340489717
>>340489818
You got an elimination, but not the kill. The number that shows up to the right of it shows how much you contributed to the kill (100 meaning you pretty much solo'd the guy). Actual kills is a separate stat, and the game doesn't really bother showing you it unless you're an offense character like Tracer or Genji.
>>340494871
It can be hell in a handbasket let me tell you.
but when you're wrecking shitters, it doesn't matter that much.
>>340494934
Not just that, they also fuck over Mei's freeze.
Aside from the hair, what's not to like?
>>340494629
no one will be as much fun as reinhardt

>>340485057
Most of my playtime is with Pharah. I think i do well with her but i'm not sure what a good damage output is supposed to be so i can't really compare it to much, i usually get at least 3 of the gold medals a game with her, though.
That being said I end up playing Mercy a lot 'cause i usually play with 1-2 friends and they both complain about how nobody wants to play support while not choosing support themselves 90% of the time. And since randos don't want to play supports either it falls to me quite often. I actually like playing mercy, unless my team plays like retards.
>>340491894

>chat log
>console
Soldier 76 is meat and potatoes DPS of any composition and completely self sustaining. Survivability is his key attribute. There's plenty of times with other characters that I've known I was fucked. For instance you just killed Mercy and Reinhart from above and now everyone has turned to come after you. You can hear foorsteps from every direction. As 76 you can outrun them all hot on your trail, heal up, and reengage all on your own without health packs.

>>340495329
What is it about this game where when two people on the same hero see each other it's an instant 1v1
>>340496212
You need to show your dominance over the enemy
Especially when you are Reinhardt. Can't tell you how many times enemy Reinhardts abandoned their posts to 1v1 me
>>340496076
I hope you're not one of those Reinhardts who charges into the middle of the whole enemy team attempting to get an epic pin and then gets shot to pieces after accomplishing nothing, because i am so god damn tired of having those on my team, it's essentially like not having a 6th player.
The worst part isI have some friends who play Reinhardt that do this
