Whooping Cough!

I got completely wrecked by another Pharah. Best one I've seen, yet.
...Reminds me of getting demolished by pro players in Q3 or Tribes.

What are your guys average energy at with her? Last I checked I think my average was 39.
Also hot tip, use your primary beam (for single targeting mind you/1v1 situations) up until you get down to about 5ish then finish off with a grenade shot. Normally it takes 25 but using it while having less then 25 ammo still produces the same amount of damage.

He has a mean left hook, yeah.
His biggest problem is being a battery for enemy ults.
Roadhog protip: Be careful about hooking D.vas. They have a tendency to explode.

I've gotten 3 POTG as Junkrat, the last one being nothing but me fucking up and killing myself with his ultimate then someone getting taken out by my body.
Seriously, did everyone need to see that?

How should I be playing Zarya? Thanks for the tips.
Blizzard said they are working on potg selection.
I finally got a chance to play today for the first time since the beta. My first game I get a 15+ killstreak including one point where I seemingly kill 5 people in a row. Potg went to a solider 76 who got one regular kill and 2 with his ult

They should really make put Winston in third person for his ult. I have NO idea where I'm going when I pop it.

Forgot about this, this is a very good point.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yup. I like it less than the default. RNG stay trolling me.
I really wish they went the HotS route of giving out palette swap outfits and increased the amount of unique models instead. Like, maybe the current rare palette swaps could be slight model changes instead (like small hat and armor attachments), epics are model changes, and legendary could be model, voice and effect changes.
Haha, thanks. I don't know how I haven't realized that yet.
Get out there and spam right click grenades, self shield when you are taking dmg to both prevent dmg and boost your dmg, shield people near you to do the same on them, ult groups of people and spam right click on them.
1v1 use left click unless its speedy guys like genji or tracer, in that case just spam right click grenades at the floor around you lol

Use the particle barrier as much as possible in long and medium range combat to absorb damage directed at yourself and convert it into damage for your weapon, and tag anyone who needs your projected barrier to also passively protect them AND add even more damage to your weapons. And use the ultimate to drag multiple targets together and leave them wide open for yourself and teammates to wreck.

I dunno, that sounds pretty magical to me.
In my experience, some PotGs are real whiffs, though it does a pretty good job overall of capturing the "key moment" of the match. Generally it's a play that was a deciding factor, like a team wipe or near-team wipe.
Though granted, a lot are Bastion just being Bastion.

Look at me y'all, I'm Winston!
Seriously, ape escape is a goddamn NIGHTMARE if you jump their backline consistently.

Any other characters have a sprint?
Lucio has a aura that gives movement speed
Console + slow isp I presume?
Just Soldier. Closest comparable things are Lucio speed boost and Tracer blink

Well I certainly get some fun out of being a nigh unkillable wall and charging at squishies foolish enough to test me.
Had one game with another Reinhardt on the enemy's side and it was a blast trying to maneuver around and charge him while protecting the payload.

Just 76 but Lucio and Tracer also move fast

This has to be one of my favorite things about Tracer. Not only is she a great counter to Reinhardt she's also fantastic at zipping in to assassinate that damn Mercy they always have on tow.
Loot crate money though.
I always try to but my team is usually not good enough to coordinate in randoms.
And when they don't all work together, my healing as Lucio is just completely wasted.

Winston's leap cannot be under-estimated. This is keeping in mind that the arc can be massively boosted by just aiming up in the air.
D.va's jetboost is similar, though much more precise.

Cool, I want to start venturing out. Soldier 76 is cool but I want to get better all around. Funny, when I was voted best player, I was Mercy.
Eff that, where's D.Va?

I rather have Nendroids of the cast or let GSC/Alter/Megahouse have a go at the females.

Yo, how should I be playing Mei? I feel like I'm not being effective enough.
After playing more my biggest gripe is running back to the front lines after spawn and "no-skill-ults".
TF2 had shortcuts all over the maps to prevent running back for too long, and any ult that is basically "run into the middle of the other team and kill them all" is annoying as hell (reaper for example).
I really hope that as the game evolves they steer away from this stuff (better map and character designs) and while they're at it maybe tone down the character cringe (but that's always been a blizzard thing).

Why the fuck did you vote Bastion? No one should ever vote Bastion!

Always operate under the assumption the enemy has their ult, unless you know they just used it. If you see Reaper trying to come in you can probably guess what he's gonna do.
Don't attack the groups. Wall off approaches, wall off snipers picking off your team, take out stragglers that push solo, ice block on points/cart for either capping or defending, etc.
Always single out people and don't try to hit more than 1 person with your ice spray at a time.
Don't focus on killing as much as harassing. You should just make it unbearable for people to try to come near you.

I love putting a wall between one guy on the enemy team and his partners as we go firing squad on the straggler lol

Reaper and McCree are my two biggest nuisances. I see some crazy good McCrees or some absolutely awful. I absolutely book it when I hear Die, Die, Die lol.

I just love when teams who were running around like headless chickens suddenly go "oh yeah objectives and shit" and turn games around. Doesn't happen often but it feels great.
My favorite is when I get a Lucio trying to back up into a wall I used to separate him from his team
Seeing the panic in enemy movements in those last few seconds as the firing squad starts up is just priceless.
