Only heard about this game because of the Tracer drama.
Only bought this game because the Tracer is hella cute.
Only play this game because the Tracer is hella fun.
TracerWatch best game, don't even need the other characters.

Is Mercy the best healer? I feel her damage buff is super helpful defensively. Gonna try Lucio sometime. I miss Widowmaker so much.

I've been playing Overwatch since F&F. Zen used to be really great because he could put a harmony on the flanking duelist and the output he could put out in the mean time was great. Then they took that away and he hasn't really recovered. Mercy can handle spot healing better, Lucio can handle area control and dueling better. That's why they ended up pretty meta.

Depends on the situation.

All situational. Lucio works for control point, attack on payload. Mercy on payload defense. Then taking into account whether teammates are generally more spread out or together, and whether more teammates are squishy or not.

You dismiss the value of that output? Do you know how advantageous it is for a duelist on a flank to have 30hps against another duelist? That's like saying "oh they only have half a mercy dedicated healing them with no immediate counterplay". That's why they gave harmony the LOS treatment. You could basically stick one on a Tracer, Reaper, or Genji and they'd have infinite sustain!

"No Tank Heroes" "No Support Heroes" Been playing solo the whole time though, so it's all good.

On king of the hill maps Lucio is the fuckin GOAT.
I like Mercy though and use her a lot on the other maps.

I mean, it's pretty obvious why that was changed. Saying he sucks because he no longer provides constant, rangeless regen for flankers doesn't hold water.

I need a class on Tanks and Defense. Support and Offense is pretty clear, I'm lost outside of that.

I dunno, I think a lot of these trophies are going to be complete accidents. You'll go nuts if you actively try to do half of this stuff in live play.

Mercy has higher raw HPS. Lucio has raw higher HPS after 2.3 targets or something.
Damage? So let's say you're trying to siege a point. I hear an ult go off, I swing around, I power up that ult. If I hear "tactical visor activated" I swing around and I power up 76 who demolishes the team. Or I hear "rocket barrage incoming" I swing around and heal/power up Pharrah. Hell if I hear "Let the dragon consume you!" I can power up a Hanzo and watch his arrow demolish even the toughest tanks.
I can't do that with Zenyatta. At all. I can only put my orb on one person at a time and fire away. I also can't get myself out of tight spot since I have no maneuverability and I can't even survive a body shot from Widowmaker without a Symettra or Zarya shield. It requires a hell of a lot of finesse for something that's really not worth it.

If you're not in a pre-made, it can be very difficult
That's the allure. I wouldn't pick Zen in a situation where it's clearly an unwise choice, but he's fun to use if you understand his strengths and weaknesses. Mercy and Lucio (who I use a lot more) are much easier to use and more appreciated by other people on the team, but it's not always fun to go with the easy choice.

I'm trying out everyone pretty evenly. As can be seen though, I prefer support & tank characters. Just like WoW =P

for console players: what sensitivity are you using?

Spawns need to be delayed when you are on defense at the end right near the payload. It's bullshit that they can spawn right by it. We can run the payload to to end and they can win in OT with a team wipe because we can't get back but they can be back to the payload in like 2 seconds.

I finally see what people were talking about when they said a lot of people do not know how to properly play each role.

If I'm going to deliberately go for a harder hero I want a payoff. There's nothing wrong with going for a more difficult hero but when you play better with a more difficult hero they need to be stronger. If anything he needs passive ability where you heal everyone within a certain distance for like 25% of the damage Zenyatta deals or 25% of the damage done by the team to the discord target. That would make the payoff worth it because if you have shitty target selection or can't hit anything you won't heal all that much.
I PLAYED SO MANY GAMES WITH YOU AND YOU NEVER SUPPORTED WTF!
Whaaaat dude I'm always playing Zen! I'm still having a character crisis. Learning though. mei is SO BEI
