Yea, for Mei Hanzo and Zaryas at least, you have to reflect the projectile that they shoot/throw out at the beginning of the ult so the timing is hard but totally possible. I assume you can block solider 76s auto aim shots no problem as well.

Hanzo too. Note that he has to reflect all of these before they land. He can't deflect the waves of ice from Mei's blizzard, but he can deflect the device she throws to make it.
Genji can't reflect Zarya. She's actually one of the best counters to him for that reason.
But he can reflect someone notable you didn't mention: Widowmaker. Reflect a charged headshot and it's bye-bye to her. It's one of the more satisfying moves you can pull off with him.
Edit: oh you meant Zarya's ult, that's true

Beam weapons can't be deflected.
Yup. I've killed at least two mcrees this way.
Allegedly, because he shoots right to left, you can even prevent him from killing other targets if you're his rightmost target.

Wait, a charged headshot on HIM reflect to her body will kill her? Or does it have to be him aiming at her head? Cuz I know that a widowmaker bodyshot won't kill a widowmaker. I don't totally get how his reflect works all the time.

So how active is the PS4 community?
I would like to play this but sadly do not game on PC.

I know it's been probably beaten to death already, but how exactly is Symmetra a support character? Because she can throw a small bit of shield to people? If that was the case, Torbjorn might as well be one too for throwing armor at people...
Sure Symmetra also got a portal that could count as support utility, but that's her ultimate... her job as "support" is not nearly the same as the other 3.

do you mean in terms of how many players are there? well, the games two days old, so a lot.
He's a super squishy support with crazy high DPS. Never be in range of a sniper, never be on the front lines. Stay in the line of sight with your allies so your heal keeps working and throw out your discord orb against tanks so your team can shred them or force them to back off.

Pretend she's in the defensive category. Her other support aspect, though, is the teleporter.

I feel like that as Tracer most of the time. :<
A fully charged Widowmaker bodyshot does 150 damage; a headshot does 300.
So it doesn't have to actually be fully charged, but it does have to be a headshot - enough to do 200 damage back to Widow.

But he has to score the headshot on HER to make it a headshot, right? Reflecting what would've otherwise been a headshot on you doesn't give you a headshot automatically?
Typically it reflects to where you are aiming, and follows the characteristics of whatever it is you reflected. I've killed a lot of incidental targets while reflecting phara rockets and junkrat grenades.
She should be a defensive character honestly because she does her best work when you're on defense, but they needed 1 more support character so they didn't just have 3 and thought she fit their just a bit better. At least that's how I see it.

She supports in four ways.
- The shields. Very straightforward, but enough to be a boon in close fights.
- Her ult. A quick jump into the fray when placed well, saving precious seconds.
- Turrets are also quite beneficial, although they're more useful for locking down an already-controlled area or preventing flanking than as an offensive tool.
- Finally, her weapon: it will annihilate targets, given a chance, and Symmetra is generally not anyone's primary target... by the time they do target her they're better off running, seconds from death.
Thanks for confirming. I wasn't entirely sure.
Really? Always right to left? Good to know.
lol didn't even notice that typo

Lock your aim in one place, wait for her to appear near it. Your projectile is big enough that you'll probably hit.

I'm so sick of playing with randoms. 2/3 times they have no idea what they're doing. No one on our team even tried to contest a point in this match I just did.
Please add me guys or post your battletag. I'm playing on PC.

Also, i need confirmation on this, does Zenyatta's Ultimate heal through walls? or maybe the guy i was trying to heal was actually out of range and i didn't notice, donnow
Yeah, i also need to stop panicking when she comes at me as well :|

Yea, it's though, but shooting those scatter arrows at the ground and seeing Tracer get melted as she's closing in or when she gets out of the recall feels good. Still, a good Tracer is indeed a fucking headache.When i'm 1v1 a Tracer with Hanzo i feel like a damn Storm Trooper

She has shields, group portal and a turret that slows enemies. Seems like a support role to me, I dunno. I guess she's could go in defense in a pinch.

There's no point in voting at all.
You can, if you so desire, recognize who you thought played well. There's nothing to be gained or lost by recognizing a player from the other team. They aren't your enemy. You're not losing anything. They're just a guy who played a game. Frankly I find people who refuse to vote for the other team pretty weird. What, you played a game against them so now you hold some sort of grudge? How dare those assholes get matched against you?
Are we 12? Is this karate kid?
I wrote up a post earlier, maybe check it out. I'm not a pro or anything but I tend to do very well with Zen and he's probably my favorite character overall.

This checks out.
I'm of the opinion that people need to get out of the mindset of pocket heals a la Team Fortress 2. Map awareness and health pack spawning should be primary. Beyond that, healing should only be for actively pushing a clustered area.
Symmetra's portal is so good if placed correctly. Her turrets sticking to roofs create great chokepoints that require a concerted effort to stop.
I just suck with her in general, though.

Me neither. I don't automatically vote for anyone on my team either. Only if it was for being on objective or healing and other useful stuff. Can't give 'em votes too easy.
Surprisingly well, but the payload got through.
At the end PRESS F TO PAY RESPECTS was great

Oh jesus, were you in my match last night? I was on attack against a full team of 76s on Route 66 last night, it was a nightmare to play against.
Yes Genji has to score the headshot on her; you deflect the bullet back towards the area you're aiming. If you have your crosshair on her head she's dead.

She's not very popular. I think she's really fun, but she's also very hard to play properly.
Eh, I always vote for healers, given the chance. No matter the team.

I'm actually curious to know how the controller is working for you on PC. I've been tempted to plug in my Xbox controller but haven't yet.

Not my post. You wanna quote the guy I was quoting.
Fair nuf. So it's not an auto win. You gotta nail the headshot off the deflect.
I'm a little late to the party on this - I wasn't going to bother getting it, but the character trailers pulled me around!
Funny thing is, on Amazon the Origins Edition + Amazon exclusive feelies was actually ~£5 cheaper than regular Origins edition, and £10 cheaper than buying it digitally! So I can't play until tomorrow, but I'm doing it on the cheap.
