That plus his speed buff make the team getting to the objective much faster, and it actually speeds up the capturing of points as well.

I bet that will be tied to a skin
I'm convinced Lucio is straight-up the best support character for Payload matches, especially if you're on offense. His constant passive heal + the boost every 12 seconds + the payload heal is God-tier.
It helps that he's small enough of a character that you can completely hide behind the Payload while healing your team.

Any other button swapping you'd recommend? I saw someone mention something about remapping his jump command or something.

I must find all the good Bastions who wait until my deflect is done then murder me...Maybe 10-11 in the time ive played so far.
I actually havent encountered many bastions.
But hearing the "ting ting ting ting ting" of the reflect hitting back

Best $40 I've spent in a while! Holy fuck, props to whoever designed Mei because she is so damn fun to play as.

Was using Genji for the first time last night. The most satisfaction I had was deflecting Reapers ult in two different games.
I did it to Bastion but the first time I deflected the Reaper ult I was like...I understand now.
Don't think too much, charge up an arrow and fire it into a crowd at head level. Don't meticulously plan out every shot, just keep firing shots off.

It's not going to work in a day or two or once I level up a bit, but man it's a simultaneous dick-move and total riot stacking all of Symmetra's turrets around the main "Attacker" exit from their spawn when you're playing Defense on an Escort map. It's like nobody at the lower levels has figured out that there are *multiple* *exits* out of the spawn point, so they just keep popping out the main entrance and dying over and over and over. Of course, the fact that everyone's playing super-squishy offense characters and not switching up doesn't hurt either. We actually had a match where they never even made it out of their base. It felt wrong
It reminds me of how little people change up their play to suit the environment or what's going on around them. Ditto for people not altering their behavior when hit by a Orb of Discord, firing away full-clip at a shielded Zayra, charging head-on into a Bastion - TorbTurret defended chokepoint, etc.

I'm actually not sure about that, although I'll definitely look into it! I found out about the character specific controls from this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCygSHeoe7Q

Thanks.
Also, Hanzo's hitbox must be pretty generous or something. All the posts I've seen about how to play him seems to be "don't try to aim your shots directly at the player, just in their general vicinity".
That's only partly on you, some of it is on your team for not paying attention. Nothing worse then having someone you're healing wander into a bad spot where you either can't follow, or die immediately if you do.
If the other team is good they will always be gunning for you first, so you have to be as evasive as you can while healing. When the situation gets bad I immediately look for someone else to fly to if there's time.
People in this very thread were complaining about the ease of getting shots with him.
Make sure you are constantly taking potshots. The hitbox on his arrows is quite large so even shots near the head are likely to hit. Don't forget his other skills though. A good thing to do is wait at a choke, shoot a sonic arrow to scout, wait until a couple walk into the choke and scatter arrow them. Also, when someone is rushing you, shooting a scatter arrow at their feet does a good amount of damage with minimal aiming required.
People complaining?! What?!
Mercy is basically the TF2 Medic with a little more mobility and a different Ubercharge.
You want to stick with somebody who can protect you, but not necessarily a specific person, and it's best to stay with the group if you can so that you can swap healing to whoever needs it.
Mercy's heal thing will reach around corners and I think through walls, so you should try to stand pretty far back to avoid dying. Also be aware that everybody is going to target you personally and kill you because you are the healer. Practice running away and using her hug attack to run from enemies.

How do you use sprays? I'm on PS4.
I know right

If you don't know who to be buffing at any given moment, a tank is a good first choice as if they're tanking "properly" they should be the ones drawing the fire. With that said the easiest mistake to make as Mercy is to follow a character who is drastically over-extending; that's just going to get you both killed instead of just them. YOLO tanks over-extending are super-annoying as they don't usually have the damage output to be solo-diving super-far into enemy territory without team support anyways; don't follow them and compound their mistakes (D-Va's a bit weird here as she's sort of a flanker-harass tank).
Added you guys. I'm Pennybags#11618. The note system is good for keeping track of who people are.
Is there any kind of organization for GAF PC to play together?
Will never be fixed sadly. It's been that way ever since they got the realID stuff set up way back.

I'm still trying to figure out how to change my avatar on PS4. I unlocked a bunch of sprays and icons that are tied to characters, you can change it within the character menu.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Not liking this game, seems like just about every other only shooter but a bit slower. Don't usally like pvp game but figured give this one a try but feels like all the rest. I was super surprised by battleborn, guess should have stopped there and not wasted my cash on this. Funny I love the movies they put out, to bad that's not a game...

How anyone can complain about character balance in this weeks arcade mode is beyond me. It's total, glorious chaos.

Slow? You need Lucio to pump up the jam, baby.
