When is Blizzard going to buff this whore? She worthless as she is now.
>>343413516
Nothing about her is weak except her hp
You're shit
Good Pharahs that can consistently land direct hits and spam choke points are a god damn nightmare.
That's why I've been practicing my S76
>>343413516
PHARAH
IS
A
MOBILE
CHARACTER
THAT
HAS
A
STATIONARY
ULT
She's actually balanced.
Nothing about her needs to be changed.
You have to pair her with a buffing Medic
Keeps Mercy safe (from everything but Snipers) and does shit tons of dmg
>>343413516
She's hardly worthless, her rockets do a full 120 on direct and 80 on splash. No damage falloff whatsoever. Her and soldier are the main DPS of any decent team at the moment. She's not going to get buffed anytime soon, learn to direct hit rockets.
>>343413516
She's actually a pretty high tier character. Mobility is weighted pretty high from a balance standpoint. Adding more health or damage would quickly make her overpowered
>>343413704
Yeah and so does Reaper, and theyre both top tier.
>>343413647
Decent 76 and good Crees wreck Pharahs so fast
>>343413810
Yeah, hence my practicing.
People are so reluctant to switch in this game, and against a good Pharah you HAVE to switch.
>>343413516
> play mercy
>see phera fly up about to ult
>shoot at her with pistol
>when she uses her ult the bullets make contact
>JUST-uhg
>>343413516
You're suppose to use her ult either in conjunction with other ults, or to suicide bomb a mercy/lucio and die in the process.
what are you talking about?
Pharah is literally the most balanced hero in the game.
Probably one of, if not THE best character for console since the update. Basically designed to have mercy follow her, hard to hit if you can manage your fuel properly, and the splash damage may be weak but that's because you're not supposed to use splash damage.
Just reduce her ridiculous viewmodel and she would be fine.
Any class with hitscan and range shuts her down quick except on maps with a lot of cover and roofs.
>>343413810
Even a non-retarded Reaper can down her, anyone with a projectile can end her
JUSTICE
blizzard games discussion is always about buff/nerfing something. you faggots ruined wow and you will ruin overwatch.
RAINS
FROM
>>343413516
direct hit does 125 damage lol anyone who isnt a tank is gonna get 2 shot if you can juggle
>>343413516
Man, I have so much fucking fun as pharah so if she does get a buff I'd pretty much be untouchable.
AAAUGGHHGH
I play Pharah almost exclusively and feel like she's right where she belongs.
If you can land direct hits, most of the squishy classes are easymode to kill. You can also outflank Bastions and turrets with relative ease, and even though you're not really supposed to take on tanks 1 on 1, it is possible.
On maps that allow it, you also have a knockback that can instakill any class without air mobility in a second. This really is Pharah's most underrated ability, because when you get good at it, you can instakill tanks depending on the situation.
>>343414141
Yeah, but Cree and 76 can shot her down from range and after rocket boost. Reaper can kill anyone painfully fast as long as he gets the jump on someone
>>343413647
This. I'm an absolute machine with Pharah.
I have no need to play as anyone else. It's us versus the world
>>343414306
thats hot
I hope they add Pharah's mother as a hero.
>>343414314
Pharah is so fun playing as you slowly get better at planing the shots. And Pharah vs Rein alone is so much fun. Roadhog with decent aim on the other hand not so much
It might just be me since I play a lot of Pharah on PC but S76 is really strong. His gun has amazing accuracy with a rapid, 100% accurate tap fire and high damage, they need to add recoil or something to make aiming a bit more difficult.
>>343414314
Yeah, she's quick and nimble plus she can jump high.
>>343414468
Double S76 is OP as shit in the current meta.
>>343414314
Oh yeah knocking enemies off of ledges with her E is hilarious.
It's even more hilarious when you get a POTG with that.
>>343414446

Compared to

Yeah this is a mess of a character. They need to do something about this joke. It isn't fun when he has the upper hand over almost every single situation.
>>343414620
most likely yes
makes sense considering 76 and reaper know them.
>>343414468
>>343414550
yeah this
76 is probably too good but I don't really see a way of dealing with him since he's like the most basic character
It's the healing ability which is really broken though.
>>343414804
>pad
Consolebabby detected. Get a mouse and keyboard and learn to aim.
>>343414804
the thing is, if you're playing on PC, tracer is better in literally every way as a flanking / distracting / killing hero.
>>343414620
Is she going to treat everyone like a kid and be a female 76?
>>343414446
I saw a page in the overwatch comic and it had Reinhardt fighting dragon people. Are there other races in the OW universe other than humans and robots
>>343414804
Make him only able to heal from Life Orbs during Wraith mode and he's fixed.
>>343415081
Well, according to Pharah's voice lines she was a distant mother, so she's probably focused more on her duty and job. So no.
>>343414891
S76's happy place is mid-range. Bait the biotic field if possible and then engage him at short range or long ranges. He's actually kind of squishy without the heals. 2+ people engaging him also quickly outpaces any healing.
Additionally, abuse his lack of vertical mobility and reliance on line of sight.
>>343413805
>>343413704
Reaper can move (at a slowed pace) during Death Blossom.
Pharah should be able to strafe while in the air and Reaper should be stuck in place where he starts his Ultimate.
>direct hits hardly an improvement
>120 damage
>a good Pharah w/ Mercy pocket can singlehandedly dominate the entire game
No, she doesn't need shit.
>>343415115
The Dragons were just a gang, they weren't literal dragons. If there were literal dragons in the comic they were his active imagination. He's a bit senile.
>>343413516
She's more strategy than offense. But somehow she's extremely capable on the console versions, since nobody seems to know how to aim upward when using her vault ability, so it essentially puts you completely out of harms way. Though I'm sure people will catch onto that eventually.
>>343415294
and Pharah's ult is focused, you can stand safely behind her and kill her. Reaper's ult kills everyone around, so you need to be at a safe distance (or see it coming) to kill him out of it.
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0xjr125.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>343413516
I'm sorry, did you want to ult?
>>343415481
damage should interrupt self heal.
>>343415534
That would miss the entire point, you are supposed to trick the enemy team into wasting time killing roadhog
>>343415534
That would make him literally unplayable
they just need a minor nerf - hook cd, heal cd, heal amount.
>>343413516
>direct hits aren't that much improvement
Direct hits are fucking 120.
>>343415481
>>343415534
Fucking this. The fact that Roadhog players can heal themselves uninterrupted while under fire is enough reason to debuff him
>>343415189
Phara is probably just shit talking and all
We need a mom figure
>>343415481
I swear I have the absolute worst aim with Roadhog's hook. I can be 2 feet in front of someone with the reticule right on top of them and nothing, and then I see other players hooking people from two maps away through a wall.
>>343414620
sombra is probably her mother.
I have no idea how they'll implement a support sniper. I guess something like the piss rifle in tf2?
>>343415676
Most characters have over 400 Health and are buffed by support classes and thats only if you land a direct hit. Its not an improvement.
>>343415740
>Mom figure
>what is mercy
>>343415646
They need to fix the fucking hook since it's hitscan when it shouldn't be, coupled with 20 tick you get ludicrous shit like getting hooked through multiple walls.
>>343415814
She shoots healing darts at friends and poison darts at enemies. 211
>>343415835

>>343415749

>>343415835
>most characters have over 400 health
By "most" you mean Roadhog, Reinhardt, Zarya, Winston and D.va? I forgot this game has only 8 characters.
>Why can't every character solo every other character
I hope 4chan never has influence on patches.
>>343415646
>>343415597
>removing the ability of staying still while out-healing damage would ruin my 600 HP character
>>343415749
honestly you need to care less about hitting them
it has an extremely low cooldown so spam it around completely carelessly. that's how people get "crazy hooks" - they're not fucking pro, they just spam enough that the likelihood is that they'll get a few good ones off
Pharah's rockets range from 13 to 80 splash damage, so they have big damage drop off. However direct hits do 120, that is a lot of damage.
>>343415534
And give him less HP to charge my ult with? Fuck you buddy, Roadhog is the best battery.
>>343416219
you're an idiot
>>343413516
Her ult is actually decent. It's just that retards think the best time to use it is on the whole enemy team when there's a S76 already aiming at you.
>>343415060
Tracer is a G*d d*mn nightmare on PC. I've recently been ending up in matches with these 50+ hour Tracer main nerd dogfuckers who are just unbelievably annoying, the crazy speed and insane close range DPS. Even shite Tracers are a huge headache, I had a KOTH match spend almost 10 minutes in overtime because of two Tracers zipping around like frickin' ziplets I hate them!
>>343416219
He can't outheal any Damage character, where did this meme start.

>>343416483
>G*d d*mn

>>343415728
roadhog is great for farming ults
>>343415534
>wanting to make Roadhog the absolute worst character in any piece of media ever because little baby bitch got hook'd one too many times.
Just choose a burst character as they make mincemeat outta roadhog and can at most times out damage his healing. Reaper for example does max damage all the tiem because of his giant hitbox.
I actually wish Pharah's splash damage did more damage but her direct hits did less. It's pretty tiring having every single hero in the game be obsessively about pinpoint precision. Even Junkrat can one shot kill a big portion of the cast with a direct hit.
>>343414014
no that would be 76
>>343415749
Just keep trying, you miss every shot you don't take, and the cooldown is so fast you can have a great time every round.
>Every single character needs a "minor nerf"
baww threads fucking cancer.
>>343413516
I'll buff her up alright.
>>343415740
>you will never get crushed by reinhardts hug and rub your dick on him
>>343416435
Not really. The damage is so pitiful, a lot of the time the enemy team has plenty of time to react to it and it only takes one member to put down a Pharah.
It's not like it's hard to see where it's coming from since the rockets have fuckhuge smoke trails.
>>343413647
>>343413810
Widow (pre-nerf), 76, Hanzo, and McCree all should counter Pharah pretty easily and pick her off.
Bastion/Trob should get destroyed by Pharah, it's almost her entire design to counter them, but Bastion can mow her down pretty quick.
She's pretty middle-of-the-road, stronger now with Widow nerfed. Pretty ok, I think she's in a good spot.
>>343414804
Reaper is one of those characters that if I play as him, everyone has heat seeking bullets and always knows exactly where I am, even if I take the long way around, and my ult always stops and I die instantly without even getting past a single "D." But if it's an enemy Reaper, I always look back as Rein and see my whole team getting wiped behind me because one fell down in the middle of them hammering Q.
So who's your favorite hero to play, anon.
>>343416638
Coming from TF2, I was quite surprised reading the actual damage values and realising just how much directs matter. Certainly changed the way I play Pharah. I've had good experiences using the Get Back! projectile to put enemies in a corner where I can get an easy direct hit.
>>343417037
Pharah and Soldier 76.
>>343416657
>Hitscan weapon that does massive DPS and has fairly good accuracy, with bursts of 3 that are 100% pin-point accurate
His abilities are balanced, his weapon is not.
>>343413768
Pharah's ult is the only one in the game Reinhardt and Roadhog can't tank the damage of.
>>343416990
>implying Widow doesn't still counter Pharah
>>343417143
>Cancer: The Post
>>343417037
Lucio, Pharah, Zarya and Mei.
>>343416435
It's a situational ability which has a huge risk associated with it. I personally use it maybe once a match, usually defensively when it's just one or two enemies that I know will have a hard time getting the counter-shot in.
>>343416657
Not really no, 76 has huge utility. Literally all Pharah has as a character is how good you are at leading and aiming. 76 is in a good place, not too absurdly powerful but nowhere near weak. Pharah is far more balanced than him though.
>>343417037
Rein, Symmetra
>>343417037
Edgy sombrero man, getting the quad+ DIEDIEDIIIIIEEEEE feels amazing every time
>>343416945
Gee, then don't use it with the whole enemy team around like I already said, halfwit.
You often run into situations where maybe 2 people are isolated. Ult there, take down the higher priority target first, and you're basically guaranteed to survive and get 2 kills. That's already a good use of your ult.
>>343417037
Torbjorn.
Though I see too many people making the engie mistake of making a nest + hammering.
Literally nothing better than a lvl 2 turret shooting people in the back around a corner while you farm headshots with your gun.
>>343417209
Do you play on console or something? S76 dishes out tremendous damage on PC for barely any effort. His damage is fine but aiming is simply too easy with him.
>>343417167
Reinhardt's shield breaks from lots of shit. Just a couple of Junkrats and it'll fall very, very quickly. Roadhog's ult breaks it super quickly. Junkrat's ult just goes through it completely. Pharah can shoot behind it from above, not to mention her ult just makes it vanish in 1/4 of a second. Hell, a whole team just deciding to fire into his shield can bring it down for free in a few seconds.
>>343417037
Junkrat
>>343417037
Pudgehog, Spamrat, Quakegyptian
>>343417395
76 is a role player. No more, no less.
>>343417304
I disagree. But respect your opinion
>>343417015
This. Feels like it happens when I'm Tracer too. Zipping all over the place and tiny hitbox doesn't mean shit when I play her apparently, literally everyone stops what they're doing to shoot at me and my whole team gets destroyed by a fucking Pharah ult of all things while I've got them distracted.
>>343417037
Call me a waifufag all you want but I play as all the girls except Zarya but I'm waiting for the winter skin to pop out for me or some other better skins later on so I can play her.
>>343417553

>>343417669
I'm trying to say you're a fag.
Just like all the other crybabies.
>>343413516
she's one of those chars that is godlike on some maps (or rather, points on maps) and mediocre on all others (as in, not really bad but you're always going to do better by picking something else, regardless of enemy composition unless it's retarded shit like 6 reaper).
>>343417209
Really though, compare 76's kit to Pharah's
76
>Hitscan weapon with good damage, good range, can be burst fired for huge accuracy, Helios Rockets for high burst damage

>Boost jump that helps her flank and get to areas quickly but also makes her a giant target
>Concussion Grenade is only really useful on pitfall maps
>Ult leaves her stationary
>>343417760
>>343417826
Ok, but I'm still right.
>>343413647
playing with s76 vs pharrah is weird as fuck. his damage doesn't seem that high othrewise but when you shoot at pharrah her health goes from full to zero in like one or two seconds, its insane.
Phara is a high skill character that FEES like a low skill character.
Her explosive rockets give you the illusion that you are doing damage to the other team when you are really not unless you are getting direct hits.
>>343418006
Try shooting at a Roadhog when his hook is on cooldown and there's a fair distance between you and him and you'll understand why some people have a problem with him.
>>343418052

>enemy has 200 health or less
>land a bodyshot, shoot at their feet
>enemy is dead because your splash damage is big as fuck
Lmao
>>343413516
Pharah player here.
Damage is great if you know how to aim, last match I got 75% kill participation.
Her ult is one of the most balanced in the entire game.
If you combine the jet jump, the rocket jump and the concussive blasts she can be quite hard to kill
BUT
Every time I'm matched against a Pharah they are in the air 25% of the time at best and when they are I easily air mail their ass out of the stratosphere.
When they're not in the air they're standing somewhere and spamming rocket in a single direction.
Blizzard makes a character with actual skill ceiling and then retards like you complain it's shit because they refuse to get better.
tl;dr: git gud shitter
>>343417037
I played genji pretty much exclusively until I started playing competitive. then I realized how fucking badly underpowered that character really is.
>>343418165
That's a really cool image. Metal Slug vibes.
>>343417573
Well, part of that is that Tracers have kind of broken kits when it comes to trying to kill them, so people try to obliterate them when they have a chance. They'd be less high priority if they didn't deal such gigantic amounts of damage in such a small window of time.
>>343414641
>343414641

>>343418349

Pharah just sucks.
I'd actually go ahead and buff Pharah a bit. Just make her glide faster, that way she is just a tiny bit more slippery and much more fun to play.

>>343413516
Pharah is for harassing
You should be moving around a lot to negate your hp
ult should be used when the enemy is distracted by the rest of your team - at a low angle and close range
maybe you just need to git gud
>>343416990
lowkey but Torb is actually a pharah check.. His turret makes a no fly zone while its up effectively crippling her, and if she tries to take out his turret torb can snipe her ass
>>343417914
I can do this comparison too
76
>Hitscan weapon with damage falloff, dealing only 5 damage a hit from long range, Helios Rockets is basically a Pharah rocket with a long cooldown
>Slow heal that could be replaced by just running to a health pack, doesn't save you from dying

>ult that allows you to deal basically the same damage that you could already deal
Pharah
>projectile weapon that has no damage falloff, dealing its full damage no matter the range
>has splash damage, so you don't even need to hit your target, and very high direct damage
>can immediately get out of most lethal situations with her jets, and puts her in air where most of the cast can barely hit her, can also reach places other characters can't
>concussive blast has many uses: can immediately kill most enemies by making them fall off the map, can give you a speedboost, can get you away from close combat characters
>ult has a dps of 1200 and can decimate enemies in a split second
See how easy it is to make one character sound shit and another godly?
Competitive came to consoles yesterday and it is like a totally, 100% different game in competitive.
If you don't have a coordinated squad with mics your entire team is gonna rage at each other and completely implode.
Also low level Genjs on your squad in competitive are cancer. A total waste of a roster spot.

>>343415126
Or rather make it impossible for him to be healed, no matter the source, if he's in wraith. It's so fucking infuriating to leave the fucker with almost no health only for him to fucking float to a health pack or healer while being invulnerable.
>people think Pharah needs buffs
Pharah is perfect right now, just because you can't git gud doesn't mean she needs a buff. Widowmaker getting nerfed was a buff in itself.
>>343418674

I enjoyed using Lucio to propel one off the center of Nepal once. Boy, Lucios are a huge nuisance on that map. But I do enjoy hiding in that little room and ambushing Roadhogs off the side.
Teammates are always incredibly stupid on that map though, and just want to play cowboy and trade fire from behind walls, across the map.
>>343413516
literally git gud
i take half the golds with pharah almost every match
her ult charges fast enough that you should think of it less as a "kill everyone on the point" and more as a surgical tool for getting rid of whichever fucker is giving your team the most trouble right now. not that it isn't great if you eliminate the whole team at once, but banking on that is like never rezzing as mercy because you want that d4nk full-team revive
>>343416990
How the fuck is she designed to counter turrets? Turrets will engange you as soon as they can see you. Literally no lock on timer. If you fly up to kill a turret, that turret is going to destroy you.
I love Pharah!

It is. Especially when you both use concussion blast at the same time

Xbone.
Probably PS4 next week.
I'm just giving you fair warning. It's NOT the same. Shit is intense.
>>343418937
>>343418939
You can't peek turrets in this game retards. The turret will shoot you as soon as you leave cover. Can't even peak and shoot before it locks on and fires on you.
>>343418605
Literal shitter detected
Try playing against a good Pharah.
Pharah being in the air is a distraction in itself from the frontline.
If she's flanking, chances are you will lose a few of your teamates before you can notice her.
If she actually know how to move, chances are she'll be a pain in the ass to kill.
And if you're referring to shit like Bastion, Hanzo or Widowmaker, as soon as I see on of these: concussive blast on the nearest surface and I get out of their sight in an instant.
Then I flank their shit from the other side, they die in an instant.
>>343418871
Am I really playing this game with retards like you.
Peek, shoot, peek, shoot. If the Torb has a wall behind him shoot the wall instead so it hits both and means you'll either kill the turret or the midget.
>>343419083
>>343419083
Wrong.
Pharah is cute! CUTE!
>>343419050
>Tfw Torbjorn is being nerfed to shit on console
Also fine by me, as long as my team can actually do well together.
>>343417037
I mostly play Lucio and Mercy because I seem to always get matched with selfish retards that instalock Hanzo and Widow on Attack.
Who do I actually enjoy though?
Mei for KotH maps, and occasionally Defense.
Torbjorn for Defence.
And D.Va, although maily for harassing enemy snipers.
Attack mode is usually an exercise in misery; helplessly watching everyone running solo into a meatgrinder as the only healer, because no one else wants to play Support.
>Low MMR for life.
>>343419049
Fuck you. My average Elimination with pharah is 30 fuck head.
>comp match with 58 average on both sides
>play Pharah pretty decently, get a lot of direct hits
>enemy team goes double Pharah
>can get a solid amount of airshots to kill a single enemy Pharah, but there's two now
>get fucked by rockets harder than in Ace Combat on Ace difficulty
>they constantly use each other as distraction to enable burst damage on turrets, barriers, etc.
>no one on our team can deal with them even if there's a Widowmaker or multiple Soldiers because they instantly vaporize anyone with less than 250 health
Having two competent Pharahs work together is fucking terrifying.
>>343414804
I rarely lose to reapers.
>Junkrat puts trap at the only flank on the map
He either dies or you know he's there.
>>343418892
>His favorite skin isn't Gundam Mecha Queen
>>343419083
thats why I said you lose maybe 50 hp. the turret will shoot for you but you will only be around the corner for a fraction of a second
>>343415060
And Genji is better than her. You just see him less.
>>343419185
What's your battlenet tag?
>>343418719
I mean, if you outright lie, it's easy to make anything sound good.
>>343419209
Mechaqueen and Raptorian are great, but those twin-tails drive my dick nuts
>>343419086
>pharah needs to fly to flank
No shit

>>343415534
No, BUT he shouldn't be able to heal while in the air. It would at least allow players to get some more pips of damage in there before he lands and chugs.
>>343419332
No lies there. Only exaggerations.
Is there a skin cuter than Raindancer Pharah?
>>343419198
>Having two competent Pharahs work together is fucking terrifying
Doubles of heroes can cover their own weakness. Double D.va can crack open any defense
>>343419349
>reducing my post to this
retard?
>>343419086
>If she's flanking, chances are you will lose a few of your teamates before you can notice her.
If the enemy team is blind, deaf and can't communicate, sure. She's not exactly subtle.
>If she actually know how to move, chances are she'll be a pain in the ass to kill.
If you get a 76 who can actually aim, you'll easily get destroyed before you hit a good 3 rockets on him (since he can self-heal).
Pharah is good but it's not that hard to counter her. Even a Torb turret forces her to go for the turret and ignore everybody else or get her airspace denied by the autoaim and steady damage. She can destroy the turret before it kills her, but that means focusing on the turret and not the actual enemies. She's much scarier with a healer though.
>>343419083
You can't peek turrets and take 0 damage in return, but you can absolutely peek turrets and destroy them while taking much less damage than taking a turret on out in the open.
pls no bully.

Does Pharah have a single bad skin?
I have trouble landing a decent Ult with Pharah except in KotH. I usually just
>Glide outside of harm's way on a pit, hugging the wall for maximum sneakiness
>When I hear footsteps or I see movement thanks to a Widow or a Hanzo I fly up and activate the Ult immediately
Works 90% of the times, but a straggler in the group can fuck you in the ass, literally.
>>343418404
If you don't know you shouldn't be here.
>>343419808
Security chief is kind of shitty.
>>343419808
>tfw can't decide between Mechaqueen and Raptorion
OP what level are you in Ranked? At 65+ every single Pharrah I'm against or with is a fucking machine that hits 80% direct hits and Ults are perfectly timed and placed.
>>343419202
Wraith makes it obsolete.
>>343418859
Yeah Lucio is great fun when you can push people to their deaths too. Nothing like dumping a Rein with his shield and all off the map as Pharah or Lucio.
>>343419931
>tfw get a card for 20% direct hits
W-why would you show that...
>>343419998
It's very frustrating as a Rein since you don't really have any say in it. Your job is to keep the shield up, so you can't really dodge or even attack without instantly dying. It's the job of your team to protect your sides, or people just walking up to you. Which of course, they never do.
>>343419518
Really wish we could trade skins. Friend has that skin and I have plenty that he likes.
>>343419202
Defending the second point of Anubis with Junkrat makes the right flank a Reaper and Tracer cemetery. Just keep moving that bear trap.
>>343419998
>Roadhog misses his hook near a cliff

>Switch to speed boost, E and haul his ass out the map
>Spray in case I get PotG
Hog mains are the worst kind of people and I love riling them up.
>>343420139
If you are a good Rein you should be able to take care of yourself with pretty much any character 1 on 1 except Tracer or Mei.
>using skins that mix completely unrelated cultures
>>343420281
Why would you have your shield up protecting teammates in a 1v1? You misunderstand the situation.
>>343418267
For me, in the most recent patch, I've actually seen a performance drop and it's really fucking annoying. I used to get about 60-80fps on ultra but now when there's heavy action it drops to the point where it stutters.
>>343420131
20% direct hits isn't bad. The problem is that the number is greatly inflated when the enemy team has a Reinhardt. You can shoot rockets at his shield all day long to get a better direct hit %, but when you get a game where the enemy team doesn't have one, your direct hit % falls down.
>>343420281
Reyn is surprisingly good at taking out Tracer since his blows send characters flying to the sides. If you're in a closed or walled area you can completely throw the Tracer off and force a Recall or death.
>>343420258
>Spray in case I get PotG
Kill yourself.
>>343420317

>>343420131
>get a card for 12%
I just can't help but engage in aerial combat with other Pharahs.
>>343419808
Yeah both of the stupidass indian ones
>>343420131
I once had a card for 11%. In my defense though, I just love spamming her rockets all the time. Feels so good.
>>343420548
are beach skins confirmed? ill save all my money for myJunkratbeach skin
>headshotting a Phara mid-ultimate with Toblerone's rivet gun
I've never had sex, but I bet this feels better.
>>343419532
>since he can self-heal
pfffhahahaha, stopped reading here.
you're obviously a shitter or never ever played Pharah if you think Soldier's auto heal is enough to prevent Soldier from dying to Pharah's rockets..
Play Pharah, git gud, and THEN come complain about her, but not the other way around.
>>343420482
That's the spirit.
>>343414641
How do I go back to playing her in regular modes after this weekly brawl, guys? Staying in the air forever is too much fun and now the jump cool down feels like it takes forever.
>>343414804
His weakness is he's easy to take down as mercy, at least I find so. A lot of reapers think they counter mercy in the backline
>>343420335
If an enemy is concentrating if your team is in a position TO BE protected then no one should get to you.
If they get to you and a teammate was actually in a position to be protected then that means they are behind you and should be able to shoot the enemy since they are concentrating on you.
If no one is behind you to shoot the enemy that concentrating on you then you should be be able to take care of yourself 1 on 1 unless it is Tracer or Mei or if the entire enemy team is ganging up on you.
>>343420440
Play against better tracers bruh. She devourers him. Tracer when played by a decent player is beyond broken considering her only real counter is outplaying her or getting lucky. She can just avoid her supposed counters
>>343414468
Yep. S76 may be boring as hell, but he shits out DPS like none other. It helps that he can gib Tracers with his rockets too.
>>343419815
I just ult when I think it could get the team any kind of advantage, not even if I get a kill. Forcing people off a point or payload or even just creating covering fire for a Genji/Tracer/Reaper to do work is helpful. also corridor ults
>>343420639
I once joined a game in volzkaya that had like 20 seconds left. I was just hovering in the air outside the second point building spamming rockets when a toblerone headshots me. He got play of the game ;_;
>>343414560
It really is the best, especially baiting people into it.
>3 people following me on illios ruins
>about to kill me but I grab the healthkit at the cliff edge and jump off
>wait two seconds, rocket boost up over the ledge
>all 3 are there about to look over the edge and shoot at me, knock them all in with one concussive blast
Shit's cash and always makes for a good potg.

>>343419518
I wish I had Raindancer instead of Thunderbird.
Saving up for her Raptorian skin as i'm kind of getting tired of seeing my current skin.
>>343420885
I mostly suicide Ult with her E to kill the healers when the enemy is about or in the middle of a big push, only if it's simply impossible to sneak behind them of course, Widow's Ult being broadcasted is a godsend for Pharah.
Her ult is too weak yeah, but everything else about her is great.
She is a pretty powerful character, one of the best attack characters behind 76
>>343414659
God damn, this. Had one send me aPSNmessage after thanking me for damage boosting him all round and how much fun it was. Love playing Mercy when a good Pharah is on the team.
>>343416483
>pick Winston
>spend entire game harassing that one Tracer or Genji
>>343421003
Best use IMO is to tuck it until they do a push then blast the back line healers. People tunnel really hard when the hard push

>>343420816
I'm not the guy were replying to. I'm the guy he was replying to and I TOTALLY agree that tracer is the #2 most effective hard counter against Rein after Mei.
However I have figured out a way to at least survive against Tracer even if I can't kill her without getting supremely lucky or catching her by surprise.
She will obliterate a Rien even behind a shield with her bomb unless you know how to spin quickly to reposition your shield between you and the bomb.
It took me a while to perfect the move but it works most of the time.
How to completely break Phara:
New ulti lasts 10 seconds like Winston's
During newulti she doesn't need to reload her rocket launcher
Her concussive blast is replaced by a 1.5 cd that jets her forward the same speed and distance a concussive blast would
Zero-shift Pharah would be too fun and broken to ever see the light of day

Litterly the most satisfying thing in the game is getting on fire with Roadhog because you interrupted some dorks ult
