That was Mondatta, not Zenyatta. Two different guys, two different health pools. Potentially.
I'm no language expert but isn't Do Svidaniya Russian? And if so why would Widowmaker, a Frenchwoman say it?
Why would Widowmaker speak Russian?
I call bs on different healthpools, how many factory settings and variations could a robot with the same chasis have??
They were working on balance tweeks I suppose. Replay/spectator functionality should be coming though, IIRC they're working on it at least.

Widowmaker is probably Pharah's hardest counter.
That's when you go McGilla Gorilla on her ass. Gets 'em everytime.
Yup, should have given up after the first try really
1st time I think it's just luck. second time I think, hmmm maybe this person is decent? third time I was like, okay you win i'm out.

I begrudgingly switched over to Reinhardt as no one else was bothering to tank, and to my amazement I actually enjoyed it. I need to make a habit of trying more of the heroes. What a great game.
Haha fair enough
My general rule is that if I'm killed by a character I know is my hard counter, I assume the guy knows what he's doing, switch to counter him and get revenge!
Just explored Nepal solo via custom, so I can admire the map in peace and also find Genji's room which was pretty nice to check out. Nepal is so beautiful, through I probably bit of a sucker for it after exploring Nepal and Tibet not too long ago in the Tomb Raider series.
Should explore the rest of the maps.

Pharah v Widowmaker is interesting; I was playing as Pharah yesterday and got done 3 times in a row by a really good Widow - they used her grappling hook to change position every time I got a read .
Pharah can also counter Widowmaker pretty well if Widowmaker is directly above, and you don't give her time to aim at you. If you stand directly below where the widow is and fly up, they usually dont have time to do anything.
Basically, if you're close, Pharah > Widow and the further away you are Widow > Pharah

I started playing Winston today, and he is a lot of fun. Ironically, now I know how good his bubble shield is and will take advantage of it even when I'm not him.
Her concussion blast will also fuck up Widow/Hanzo's day. Concussion blast is so under used, imo. On KOTH, I usually get a commendation for most environment kills (5+).

We had a great match of KOTH where the enemy team started with double Winston but just couldn't compare to us. Complete shutout:
That seems kinda weird :/
Several of the game's accents sound Russian to me, sorry. At least Zarya!

Reinhardt has quickly become one of my favorite characters.
Thrusting forward and smashing enemies into walls never gets old. Haha

I use geforce Experience Beta
http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/gfe-beta
Its literally Shadowplay but with an overlay and DVR functionality. I set it up to always record in the background and just hit save when a good match occurs. Works like Xbox/PS4.
Gifs you can cut out with something like imgur.
I have been having a lot of fun playing with fellow gaffers the past two days. Tonights highlight was a double Reinhardt, double Torbjörn, Bastion, Zenyatta defense. Needless to say it worked in our favor.
I also got all 12 votes in the post game which is something I have never seen happen. And heres what happens when a Widowmaker ragdolls through a fence.

Man, that feeling when you got a decent Mercy backing you up. Feels good, man.

Went pretty even on matches tonight. Had some good matches, and had some downright awful matches.
But, I got Thunderbird Pharah after saving up some credits. I need to get better with her. I like the TF2 Soldier better than Pharah, but Pharah obviously plays very differently. Hopefully I can get her down pat.

This is a good idea, I'm going to do this as well 😎
It's bothering me more than it should that the only legendary skins I have are for Reaper and Soldier 76, like respectively my least favourite characters in the game in looks and play style.
seriously fuck every reinhardt who thinks me buzzing him with a heal means he has free license to fuck around hammering shit while thinking he can just drag me along like i'm leashed
As someone who often plays Mercy, it feels even better when your team appreciates that fact and actually tries to form around you.

Anytime I'm playing with Reinhardt on payload, it feels as though I'm working for the Reinhardt moving company.
Stand on payload. Shield out. Cruise.
Stand on payload. Shield out. Cruise.
Sometimes I think it's actually more effective to use at ground level because everyone looks up aha
Out of all the characters in the game, having a Mercy on my team makes me feel better about our chances of winning.
Lucio is the better all round character, but too many people who play him just like to wander off and get killed.
Whatever she says I just heard for the first time.
It's like a fuckin whisper compared to everything else.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
That feeling when you keep everyone alive with Mercy. Love that feeling.
Oh the irony.

Man, matchmaking has given me nothing but steamroll matches now, on both sides, on Xbox. Must be because it's late.
You know you're in for a good time when they run TO you for heals.
"I need healing!" yells Torbjorn, half-way across the map and making no effort to move.
I knew someone couldn't hold back some snide comment about that. They're TOTALLY the same, one is instant and the other takes a couple seconds of uninterrupted channeling and she can totally use that time to instantly burst down a tank with her right click.

I played like three hours of Mercy tonight despite barely touching her in the betas. I got really tired of random supports swapping off Lucio/Mercy to be useless with Widowmaker.
Please do this. Mercy bounces around a lot so it might be hard to keep her location in the back of your mind, but if you're in dire straits, make her job easier for her.
also please kill the tracer

Bonus points if he thinks he's playing TF2 and is hitting his undamaged turret with his hammer.
