Pharah is console's Mccree. Nobody can hit the cunt. If you don't have Torb on your team you will get fucked.

>console kids can't aim with a controller in fps games
You're retarded. Just use solider 76 and burst fire.
>>340514475
i literally cannot imagine overwatch being fun on console, show me some console tracer or genji gameplay.
>>340514475
i play on console and shoot down pharahs easily with mccree.
>>340514475
Soldier 76 can take her out pretty quickly if you're not retarded. Also Widow is the ultimate Pharaoh killer.
>>340514647
playing tracer is pretty much the same since her guns spray so much
Console kids indeed can't aim, more so with a controller, but even they could hit a slowly floating Pharah with Widow's sniper rifle's shitbox the size of a fucking freight train.
Also, Reaper seems to be surprisingly good on consoles too, because everyone can only hit each other when they're at point blank range, and that's the only range when he's actually dangerous.
>>340514872
not really, mcree still outclasses him even without flashbang
>>340514992
We, duh, it's the motherfucking McCree, what do you expect? But I'm just saying that Reaper can actually be a successful on consoles when McCree is not around. On PC Reaper just acts like a mini-D.va, i.e. a battery to charge your ultimate with.
Pharah is my most played. She's shot down easily by anyone with a huge spread (Tracer, D.VA) and she has to come down eventually. You're also a big target for discord orbs, turrets, and Bastions. Snipers can take you down, since it's not like you can jet boost forwards and backwards, and McCrees can easily chip away at your health. I've even had Winstons leaping at me to chip away at some hp. It all adds up and keeps you out of the sky.
On top of that, she isn't taking out tanks unless she gets 4-5 direct hits without them healing (not to mention barriers) and her splash damage is abysmal to non existent. Her alt fire is a non-damaging knockback.
Easy target for High Noon. Turrets will get her down to at least half hp if she jet boosts unaware. Also not every map has a high ceiling. And her ult isn't even broken in the slightest.
Literally one of the most balanced characters. If they could increase her splash radius by a bit and actually credit minimum of 30 dmg from splash, she'd be perfect. Nothing is more infuriating than seeing someone take 11 damage from a rocket that hit a wall 2 feet behind them.
Just the thread I was looking for. I want to get Overwatch for either PS4 or Xbox, how is the console community? Do we think Blizzard will give the console versions as much care/updates as the PC versions? How does it play comparatively? Also what console community do you think will be least cancerous to the game(less of two evils)?
>>340514475
I primarily game on console but how come when I come to my PC where apparently the "elites" play, why do I always wreck everyone's shit?
Are PCucks projecting or something? I've never seen any evidence of PCucks being superior in any way to other gamers. KB/M is easier to use. It doesn't mean you've got better aim.
>>340515690
I'm on PS4 and I've played about 40 hours or so and only received one hate mail so I'd say that yes it will be less cancerous.
>>340515690
console community is big, it usually takes less than 10 seconds to put me in a game. There aren't usually people using mics when i solo queue though. i'd say get it on ps4 just for the bigger playerbase.
>>340514647
The difference is mobility and aim. It's not hard to imagine. Just not as much 180 degree twitch going on.
I'll never understand the "controllers can't aim" meme, as if people haven't been able to use them efficiently. Obviously PC has an advantage
I guess if you're 16 and only used a controller for a few non shooting games then yeah, your aim will be hot garbage.
>>340514475
Flash bang still makes McFree super easy to use.
>mfw Hanzo with his broken hitboxes AND generous console autoaim
>>340515690
I've got about 60 hours in on Xbone. Pretty good community with a good amount of non shitters. Solo queing you will definitely be put on potato squad often though.
>>340515793
You are ranked with people on your level on console ladder and on pc you're getting ranked against shitters (because you don't play it much so game assumes you can't play)

>>340515982

Very major advantage.
If you can hack in M+KB support in console Overwatch you'll be slaughtering all of them.
Even if you have snail like reflexes.
>>340515982
i played on console until i was 17 when i got a gaming pc and i never went back.
>>340515690
PS4. A lot of people don't talk unless someone breaks the ice. And even if you're talking alone it's still a good way to coordinate if you're a leader type and understand how to push. Just don't be a retard and tell people to switch characters if you're not willing to do it yourself.
>>340514475
>Pharah
>good on console
You have to quake rocket snipe to be any good at all with Pharah. I'm betting you can't hit shit with her on console.
>>340516070
shes coptic christian, Arabs are invaders just like the Greeks & Nubians, coptics are the real Egyptians
>>340516070
Last I checked Arabs are from Arabia and Egyptians are from Egypt. But what do I know, I'm just an anon.
i'll never understand why people are such dicks about console shooters
yeah, precision is hindered by the control method. but it's the same for every player and it's still fun to git gud within those constraints. it's not like it's babby mode, it's actually harder to aim that way. precision is sacrificed because the overall experience on a couch with a controller is more relaxed.
>>340515567
>Her alt fire is a non-damaging knockback.
Is it? I swear I've killed people on impact with it before
Of course it's still best used to launch people off cliffs, but still
>tfw blasting a group of 4 off a bridge on Lijang Tower
What are good control sensitivity levels for consoles? I'm having problems finding a good balance between faster moving and easy to aim...
>>340516441
>egyptians
>still exist
arabs outbreed/killed them while replacing their culture, religion and language with their own
whats left is a christian minority called the copts that is somewhat related to the "wewuz" people but are slowly being killed off
>>340516413
People move more predictably on console, it's very easy to just shoot where they're going to be.
>>340516413
It's not hard to lead a target. It's not like people look at your rockets and then strafe around them. At best you'll get the occasional reactive shield or deflect.
Not everyone naturally walks in a spastic zig-zag paranoid Matrix pattern.
>>340516046
I'm talking about PC games in general. Battlefield series, Red Orchestra, Planetside, AVP Gold back the the day. UT is the only game where I've find people significantly better than me.
Overall though PC players are shitters with a superiority complex, even at higher level play.
>>340516413
Nah son. It's pretty easy when nobody can hit you.
Tracer is also a big problem on console. She can distract the whole team pretty easily and probably kill a mercy or zenyatta on the way out too
>>340516252

>her splash damage is abysmal to non existent
This is what ruins me as someone who Player Pharah regulary the most. If it isn't a direct hit enemies can totally ignore you, and even if it is, you need to land another in a short time to make them care.
>>340516846
Sent ;)
>>340516808
I'm willing to believe this
>>340516816
but not this, if people aren't dodging rockets after the first explosion you've got to be in the lowest MMR possible
>>340516858
This. Even direct rocket hits feel underpowered at times.
>>340516751
Yah, no dmg. You might've just clipped with a rocket earlier and someone finished them off as your concussive blast connected.
>pushing off ledges
I almost got an entire team kill at the spawn of Volskaya when they crammed behind a Reinhardt
>>340516808
I don't really see how this is true
>>340517013
they are underpowered, a widowmaker can fire a full charge shot at a faster rate than you can fire rockets.
>>340517013
>>340516858
If you think Pharah's rockets are bad try the Doom 4 MP's rocket launcher
>>340516765
Quick turning isn't very useful in OW for most precision characters, surprisingly. Which is why the default has such low initial settings. Getting flanked is usually death regardless of how fast you look at that McCree.
I keep it at 30/15 with relative 35 scoped. It's upped to 40 for Pharah and Tracer, 50 for Mei, and 60+ for practically every tank.
>>340517145
her rifle really needs to be bolt-action or something
widowmaker is insanely good provided the person can actually aim
>>340516958
I mean reactive rocket dodging, like looking at the incoming rocket and moving away from it. It's more of a guessing zigzag and fake out.
>>340517332
Yeah she is the only character that can really carry a team. At a certain level I think a good Widowmaker is just going to be a necessity for competitive play.
There is no reason for them to be able to shoot that fast. Maybe it isn't as strong on console.
>>340515793
Because there are still plenty of shitters in PC gaming. Using KBM does not automatically make someone good.
>>340517529
It is. Good widowmakers are unbeatable.
>>340517529
Widowmaker isn't seen all that often in competitive play because she gets shut down hard by Winston and Winston is very common.
>>340517529
It's not as broken, but keep in mind all the CoD tryhard 420quickscopes have existed on console and are playing Overwatch.
>complaining about the one character in Overwatch that actually needs to aim well and doesn't have any retarded skills
>>340516183
You can by peripherals that do just that
>>340517529
Still plenty of tryhard mlg 420 snipers on console but it's hardly a problem. As of now she's perfectly fine.
>>340517013
Direct hit rockets do 120 damage. It's just ger splash damage is utterly pathetic.
>>340517862
>>340517749
AFAIK Overwatch doesn't have a snap-to-enemy function when zooming in so they're not going to be hitting anything.
But Pharah is the most balanced Overwatch character, all you have as Pharah is your ability to aim you non-hitscan, slow moving rocket that does no splash damage.
>>340517689
Even though that is somewhat true widow is still the second most picked damage hero in competitive play.
The main reason why she doesn't see more play is that instead of 1 widow and a McCree you can also pick 2 McCrees or even 3.
