Figured out how to use Lucio effectively and he is now quickly becoming ny favourite character. Very, very effective on the control game mode.

Decided to get this as well. Played it for the first time tonight. Reaper seems like a decent character to use for a total noob like me. Although I haven't seen one person use the special die-die-die ability effectively yet. It seems like you really need to catch their whole team off guard for it to work.

Zarya is straight up broken in the arcade mode. You have your shield up like 90% of the time lol

Actually 23 damage at zero charge. Trust me, it hurts when you're charged up.
U mean very, very, very effective on any mode rite :3
I just need to come in here and say:
FUCK MEI AND THAT FUCKING BULLSHIT ICE WALL GARBAGE.
Lost 6 games in a row solely due to that fucking bullshit. Eskimo bitch can somehow take 6 rockets to the face, or 4 shotgun blasts, or 9827348762348 ninja stars and still shoot ice no fucking problem.

What I'm saying is that he kicks extra ass when you need to keep hold of a certain spot.

to keep things jovialSome people said no, but you can definitely deal damage to yourself as Junkrat with your standard grenade fire if it ricochets back to you and blows up.

The community of this game is ruining the experience. I love the gameplay but having teams half-filled with people who don't bother doing ANYTHING to help the objective is ruining my enjoyment.

wonder if there will be holiday events, halloween costumes would be freaking awesome
He's the best support no doubt. Decent offensive capabilities with his shotgun blast and the pumped up health restores quite a bit.
But there's no point to that if I'm the only one pushing. Being a tank won't help.
I wasn't being that guy thankfully haha. Actually had the gold medal for most objective time.
Yup. I had 2 widows on my team on payload attack. Extremely frustrating
It's also pretty hard when your team runs in one at a time to gt sniped by turrets and widows.

Game time, medals, finishing a match and winning a match, I THINK objective time has a bonus into the game time part. Nothing else matters.

Our team got bodied by a team with 5 Reapers. Then the PotG was one of those ones where they slap a "well played" spray on the ground right after they killed our whole team with his ult.
Feels bad man.

Just lost to a team of 6 Bastions, I was genji and got some kills and did my best to counter. But when the your on the last part of the payload and the bastion barely have to travel to set up their turret their isnt much you can do.
I still think Bastion needs a nerf; smart bastion players know Genji will reflect and just wait for you to use it.

the other one is way more stylish
I'll be honest it's kind of garish.

Go Pharah stack and watch them cry because Reaper can't do shit to Pharah when she's in the air. A team tried this against my group in open beta and we dunked them hard with 3 Pharah's.
Welp. Couldn't help myself and bought 24 loot boxes.
Got enough dosh to buy the T. Racer skin out of it. Also got Lucio's Hippity Hop and Zarya's goth (YUCK) skins too. Had I known that I'd have been charged tax I wouldn't have done it.
Hopefully I can finally get a game in as Tracer since I usually end up playing support or tank since no one else in pubs does it.

Got my first Legendary skin drop, Raindancer! My favourite skin for one of my favourite characters!
So it's Day 3, which hero duos are you guys seeing as very effective at controlling a match? And in what context?
I've noticed
- Bastion + Reinhardt pushing the payload
- Zarya + Mei on defense
- Mercy + Road Hog as anti-flankers
- Symmetra + Genji or Winston when playing King of the Hill
are all capable of shutting down an unprepared enemy team. What about you?

Why does Mercy cosplay as a cyber angel?

Today PS4 Gaf discovered the defensive power of double Reinhardt, double Tolbjorn, Bastion, and a Symmetra. The enemy team couldn't even pass the front entrance on the Anubis map. Funny thing is, the enemy team did the same thing to us when we were attacking.

Cause she's badass and she knows it.
I think D.va and Mercy are a good pair. I had a really good day with a gaf member healing me today and was owning the control point.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Bastion & Reinhardt is, right now, almost a necessity for payload on offense - it's SO.GOOD at pushing the cart. Throw a Mercy on the two of them, and shit's very difficult to stop.
Honestly, Mercy hiding behind corners and healing a DPS char like Soldier 76 actually works surprisingly well.

The whole time we were trying to figure out which character we should all use to counter and we almost went all Pharah. Unfortunately, they already had the payload nearly at the final point, so we never got the chance.

Because she's a fragile flower of the battlefield who is afraid of going full Mengele and does everything she can to keep from shattering her own delusions.
She plays an angel when in reality she is only an angel of death and suffering.
She will save you, but at what cost?
How many people did she fail to save, and how many people did she leave worse than they would be?
How many people have to die before she chokes on a rocket like the monster she is?

It very much feels like you - as an individual have both SO MUCH influence on the outcome of the game, but then also almost none. I cant really tell if - with randoms - I feel inconsequential or Ive absolutely contributed. Or, more so, there are times I lose and I just cant imagine what I could have done differently so wed have won. It feels like my teams fault - that theyre bad
but this early in, I know Im not nearly as good as I think I am.
I will say though, we DO NOT NEED THREE SNIPERS EVER
She's gone mad with power.

zarya pharah wombo combo
double tracer/lucio/winston on king of the hill
mercy + hitscan character
Yeah, I like Mercy + Soldier 76, too. Healing when necessary, then buffing damage at full health works wonders against teams that don't group up properly. It's even better with a Reinhardt out front.

Just went a match against 6 Torbjorns on 66. Quickly called the shots to switch to Two Reinhardt's and a Widowmaker and made the 6x Torbjorns look sorry as hell. Was the funniest stomping so far.
