Which character in Overwatch is the most rewarding to play overall?
>>345163036
Reinhardt
>>345163117
This.
It is also the most stressful because if you screw up and die as an offense character [and defense, to a lesser degree] you're hardly putting the entire team at a disadvantage. As a Reinhardt you're often the center point of their defense.

Is Junkrat fun? I see him get 70% of the Play of the Games but it looks like you just sit there and spam grenades and mines all game until you get your ulti
>>345163036
Mercy.
Ana is by far the most rewarding in terms of both healing and getting kills.
Torbjorn

>>345164428
If you sit there spamming grenades in a single direction and get kills, that's only because people are stupid enough to walk right into them. They have a very predictable arc, after all.
Junkrat has the potential to be amazing fun, and he's probably the defense hero with the most mobility, and a good Junkrat locking down paths involves quite a bit of outmaneuvering the enemy, outsmarting it with traps, as well as good aiming.
>>345164428
Play him as chaotic as you can. He's fun incarnate.

Baiting retards into attacking your bubble, surviving ults, and using the ugliest skin in the game and just assblasting faggots is amazing.
Not to mention using her ult on the entire enemy team at once and wiping them out is just so great.

>tfw D.va got buffed
>>345166630
woah!
She's cute!
McCree. You can win almost any fight if you hit crazy shots, which feels amazing
>>345166630
she needs more of a buff then they're giving her IMO. Blizzard keeps trying to make her this big defensive heavy tank by buffing Defense Matrix, but she's never going to be as good at defense as Reinhardt is. It is insane how low her damage output is all things considered. I lose pretty much every one on one encounter with reapers, roadhogs, Junkrats, etc. I'm bad at the game for sure, but even I can tell she's got a huge problem killing people. Plus her hitbox is xbox huge so most of the heroes can take her 500 hp down in seconds.
not to mention she's got the easiest to avoid Ult on the planet. It's great for scrambling the enemy team away from objectives but It doesn't get any kills unless the other team are complete idiots.
>>345166630
If you leave Defense Matrix on the default momentary activation (Only active while button is held), can you 'burst' it to block a shot while spending minimum matrix energy, or is there a warmup like period before it starts blocking projectiles?
I know it has a 1 second cool down when you stop, but can you just matrix rocket at the last second while maximizing DPS?
>>345167047
her ult countdown is being reduced to 3 seconds
might be too fast honestly considering the range
>>345167047
Her critbox is fucking retardedly large, that's why she loses fights.
I get the impression Blizz wants you to flank HARD with her (which lessens the issue of melting whenever anyone aims at your center mass) and have that be the only viable way to play her, using defense matrix to cover your fuck-me point as you disengage.
>>345166901
They need to buff FTH to like 60 or something because there's no reason to use it now.
To counter it, they can turn action roll into a dodge that moves further and makes him invulnerable but doesn't reload to prevent spam
lucio
>>345167603
the problem is she's fucking huge and pink and can't damage people unless she gets RIGHT up in their face, making flanks hard to do, flanking isn't useful if you just get one kill and die, and it seems to be impossible to kill anyone unless you corner somebody at the closest possible range.

Fucking hell blizzard has no fucking sense of skill floor or skill ceiling. They just make shitty classes that stomp in pubs and then high tier god tier classes that fuck everything if the player plays perfectly.
>>345168013
What?
Link nigger.
Hes perfect as is now any dps or non retarded flanker can still fuck him up if they get the jump on him.
>>345168940
They are lowering his damage to 40 per shot so he takes one extra shot to kill a guy.
It was on Sters stream and apparently the devs already implemented it.

if you booster jet+melee into people you will fuck them up. Half of my kills with her are from running people over with jets. If you don't use booster jet to kill people you're playing her wrong
>>345163036
I kinda wanna buy Overwatch but Reinhardt, Ana, and Phara are the only characters I'm actually interested in playing. A couple of my friends and their siblings play so I'd at least have a full party to roll with. Should I make the plunge, /v/?
>>345169772
Boosting them into walls also works well since you get a bit more time before they can run away from your slow movement fire.
>>345169979
Go for it, maybe you will become interested in some other characters down the line.

Ahh, precision German engineering
Genji, Zarya, and Zenny. Bastion is extremely satisfying when you just switch in sneak to a flank point and mow them all down. Reinhardt would be better if him doing well actually resulted in wiping out the enemy but with a team of shitters who don't shoot from behind your shield or attack the teams backside while your trucking up their frontline it's frustrating even if you do well.
Okay so this game is definitely rigged to give you a lose streak after a win streak right? Because I've played with randoms that I can't honestly believe there are other fucking human beings this stupid
>they're looking at nerfing zenyattas ult as well
I always solo queue, I can't be bothered to ask faggots to heal me or shield me because 90% of people I queue with in the 50s skill group are fucking shit.
I mostly play S76, Zen and Lucio, any other good characters for solo queue faggots like myself?
>>345170646
yes.
People are praising blizzard for it while blizzard is trying to pretend the 50/50 doesn't exist.
>>345170683

In their own backwards way, they're still playing him somewhat as intended. He's still a distraction.

>Zenyatta back to 0% because retards won't let him have nice things.
He trades mobility for damage he can't run from fucking flankers he has to kill them before they kill him.

Reaper. Most fucks are too braindead to avoid confronting you 1-on-1 in close quarters. Knowing where med packs are and denying them to people running to them while in shade is also great fun, even if you don't need the HP.
You can also deny ults with shade. I've gotten many Junkrats to blow their load on me and only me by running towards the tire and going ghost as soon as I'm in the killbox.
>>345171124
Nothing satisfies me more than filling up a roadhogs health to full. Then flying around to other low hp team mates and getting them all back to full before the next fight starts.
God damn shes fun to play on defense.
>>345164428
>get killed by Junkrat
>kill cam shows how he missed every shot until his mine was off cooldown and detonated it right in front of himself
It shouldn't do so much fucking damage when it does none to him. I forget that he's not harmless even when he is hitting no one.
>>345171338
>implying most enemy teams are smart enough to regroup and fight in waves or big attacks
Feels bad man
>>345171385
The damage doesn't annoy me, it's the fact that he can detonate it in air which basically gives him a sixth stronger grenade. It should have a setup time or something in exchange for a shorter cooldown so people won't just throw it out of panic and detonate it right in your face. It's supposed to be a mine not a projectile
>>345171385
The mine isn't even that powerful at all. I have trigged it right on top of people like widow or lucio and they were fine. The grenades on the other hand seem to do about the same damage if not more each hit. If you can hit a tracer or widow dead on they are fucked in one or two hits.
>Kill another player
>No sense of accomplishment becauses 9 times out of 10 I only won because I have a superior character
None of them
>>345171617
They do about the same.
>>345171807
It does exactly the same damage, but I do feel like it shouldn't be able to be detonated mid air. It wouldn't even reduce his mobility by much either
>>345170000
You can also reliably knock people over cliffs with it
>>345171385
Junkrat's damage is fucking absurd.
>using reinhardt to firestrike an incoming rip tire

>reflecting a hanzo's ult back at him

>>345171385
hes just shit though, his grenades are so shit to land and he doesn't have the right controls to set himself in a viable area.
I would totally nerf his mine to only deal full damage on the ground if he had the cooldown reset on kill.
Fucker needs something.
>>345168013

Seeing them fall back at the sight of a glowing Zarya is pretty funny.
Killing a Tracer and Reaper as Zenyatta is literally orgasm
>>345176117

dude just lower every single thing and ALWAYS keep your Render quality at 100% its basically the only thing that dictates if you are going to see crap shit or a permablur. really. if you cant achieve a steady 30fps on Render Quality 100% then dont bother playing its going to be suffering.
>>345163117
Crusader skin when?
Widow if you can aim, which 99% of players can't do.
At that point it's the only fun you can have in the game.
I can make her viable in any map. Attack or Defense.:^)

I'm 54 and nobody plays Widow. I see more Hanzos than Widows. It makes no sense.

>>345163117
>hold up shield

Pretty low skill floor.
>>345179068
All lvl 54 means is that you've played overwatch for a few weeks. Getting good enough to consistently get headshots as a sniper takes a lot more time.
>>345179068
Hanzo can get by on spamming arrows around cover and using his ult 2 or 3 times for free kills. Widow doesn't have those crutches.

>>345165023
>Way to easy to be rewarding
I don't understand why people say this. They think rocket launcher=easy but she has a sub 50 percent win rate on both quick play and competitive. Her splash damage is really shitty so you HAVE to hit directs to be good with her. She actually has a really high skill ceiling.

Also I've noticed on Winston how little people protect non-Mercy supports. I've blasted through plenty of Zen's and Lucio's and no one even lifted a finger but the second I jump towards a Mercy they light my ass up like I'm trying to ask her out on a date.
>>345181439
yes Captain Hindsight
My friends have convinced me to play overwatch but I'm kinda shit at FPS, never played any other than BL2. They're maining Mei and Mercy. Any suggestions or tips?
>>345163036
If you are really good, a widowmaker is terrifying if she knows what she's doing. You can't even fucking leave spawn without getting headshot.
Am I the only one that thinks Pharah is rather weak? I enjoy playing as her, but having only 6 rockets and a slow fire rate, on top of not doing much damage with a direct hit, and very little splash damage just doesn't really make her seem as useful as she should be.
Should I just buy the skins I want with credits or should I wait for new skins to drop?
>>345163036
i am so glad McCree is getting buffed
>just git gud and l2aim
he has shit damage if not medium or close range. you can't kill anyone that way.
also why even bother long range shooting especially when you need to conserve your ammo just to fan the hammer? by the time you throw your grenade and get close you don't have enough.
and when you don't have enough bullets or you simply fucked up your fan hammer and someone lived? you have no escape because you walk so damn slow.
it's incredibly difficult to get into any sort of rhythm with this hero. he walks slow, shoots medium, and fans fast.
i swear if McCree didn't have his insta-kill ability, no one would even pick him.
>oh but he's a flanker
then pick Reaper
>oh but he's got his stun
pick Roadhog or literally any disrupting hero. seriously, you need to be damn close to even use the grenade
>>345185134
You may as well by the ones you want with credits, what else are you going to do with them?
Is Pharah cancer?
>>345186126
not if it's one.
two is cancer.
>>345186126
absolutely
>>345163036
not widowmaker since sometimes you can kill half their team yourself and still lose the objective cause you are terrible at doing just that by yourself.
I'd say it's easily Genji as at the tippy top of skill he will kill your entire backline. A skilled genji + ana is going to be absolutely absurd most of the time.
>>345186071
mcree sitting behind reinhardt with mercy on his back or zen providing discord is so fucking annoying now. If you don't have your own reinhardt you may as well kill yourself.
>>345186126
no, only when paired with Mercy who is the real cancer.
>zenyatta nerfed beyond salvation
>>345186549
what? He's stronger now, even if you have to have much better aim.
>>345186675
how is he stronger? faster discord/harmony orbs and 25 more shields isn't going to make shit if his projectiles are weaker
ana
>>345163036
honestly Roadhog cause he can singlehandedly fuck opposing teams if they think they are set up well entrenched.
literally nothing feels better then hooking a bastion right off a fucking pit, holy hell its good stuff.
>>345186381
