You know that big hole in that one capture point on the Ilios map? I used Pharah's impact blast to knock a Bastion in tank mode right into it the other day. So satisfying.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I play her which is part of the frustration. I just haven't had a good match with her so far.

Widowmaker as one of the worst ultimates in the game? Really?

Flanking is great. Enemies start to slow after a second or so of fire so most can't react. When they're frozen, Always do an icycle to the head. On defense, Use the wall in combination with the ice block. Time it out so you hide in the block right after it breaks. The wall should be ready again right after. As far as placement goes, try to use it to block enemy movement more than protect people. If you do it to protect people, you'll find yourself blocking more of your teammates shots, and forcing them to move out of position.
You can also solo contest the point better than just about any other character. Take advantage of that. If they are near the payload, contest it and keep yourself alive as long as possible. The distraction should be good enough for your teammates to help.

Nope. You can easily be killed when entering and exiting the animation.
Err, what? I can at least somewhat understand Roadhog but Widowmaker's ult is amazing and Winston's is the ultimate disruption technique.
I feel that one capture point level (hollywood I believe) is incredibly unfair to attackers. There's one-two entrances to the area. Both real close to each other. So they are essentially convenient choke points for the defenders. Have a turret and bastion up with one sniper and shit is a massacre lol

Scrubs hating on Winston's ult. Come see me when you're on the attacking team. You'll never push that cart when I'm on my monkey business.

hiding in my ice when hanzo's ult is active lol. along with d.va's suicide.
Does ice wall block some damage of his ult though or does it just destroy it. either way. RIP my team. didn't mean to live without you. but someone had to stay alive long enough on the checkpoint lol.

I was playing a Bastion and a Reaper tele'd directly in front of me. He didn't make it out of the animation.
Winston's ultimate heals him to full health, though. Which makes his job of getting in and scattering an entrenched team even easier.
Roadhog's can be good if you walk up behind a group and get it off at point blank, or sneak up on a Bastion, or even just want a guaranteed free kill off a hook. Synergizes well with Mei and Zarya's ults, too. You just can't run towards attacking foes with it.
I'm actually gonna say Pharah has the worst. It's essentially just "please hide now for five seconds. If I'm not looking at you, kill me for free."

lol yeah. That's a mistake you only make once (hopefully)
I might agree with this, only because it's very situational and hard to use. Most opt for the shift jump into the air and fire on the point but that just makes you a target in skeet shooting for McCree, Hanzo, Widowmaker, Genji, Soldier 76, Zenyatta...anyone who can fire in a straight line, really.

Wow I guess according to that Master Overwatch site I'm 19-5 with Lucio. I kinda don't want to use him anymore in fear of wrecking that good winning percentage.

Again, I'm not saying it's not good or useful, but comparing them on the spectrum of all ults these are my least favorite.
Thanks

A reaper got mad at me last night because he teleported right in front of me while I was scoped in with Widowmaker lol
Not my fault his head materialized in front of me

The guys face next to him haha
This happens to me quite often and its infuriating.
It seems to happen mostly when I pull off a crazy hook from an awesome angle, and the game just nope nope nope's me.
I agree with this, actually. The more I play Pharah the less I want to use her ult. Even if I get in the perfect position to use it, it doesn't kill people fast enough to prevent them from killing me.
It either needs to do more damage, or give Pharah some armor, or something to make it so that turning and shooting her isn't the natural counter to it.
None of them are bad...especially Widow maker's and Roadhog's ultimate.
Widow's ultimate is not selfish, and it helps the team immensely. Roadhog's ultimate can pretty much push the entire team off from anywhere while killing low health characters and he can do so on his own due to his high health.
Winston's ultimate is a distraction, couple up with Lucio's ult he can hold any point or get people off purely on the basis of attrition.
I'd say Tracer has the worst ultimate since it is easy to avoid, she cant throw it far and it has a shit blast radius. On top of that it mostly just kills one person. Her Ult provides her with nothing that she can't do on her own...except for a kamikaze run straight up to a Bastion to kill him, but she can do the same without her Ult if she goes behind him.
Tracer, a bomb that's pretty easy to avoid and you can only throw it like 3 feet in front of you
I saw one of these awful POTGs when I felt I did better

mode that changes the rules every week. more health, faster powers and stuff.
Yewh the few times I use her now I use her Ult on the ground. Jumping in the air is just suicide.

n i g g a, did you just see that last play!?!?
Dude is God fam...40 eliminations with Genji when they rolled them on offense 0_0
Well yeah, that foot stench is probably super distracting.
But there was aiming in that play!

Is he a pro in some other game or wtf is he
They aren't nerfing anything, Seagull and others have been playing Genji for months and Blizzard is aware of how he's played.
They've already nerfed his damage and nerfed Zenyatta's orb, so Genji is in a good place now.

He's been a TF2 pro since 2008, so he basically got like ten thousand of high level hours on this game already
It makes me just wanna uninstall the game. I'll never be this good
at like anything
Just saw that, that was disgusting.
He was a top TF2 player (which makes him top quality in this one by default) and he has been playing Overwatch for a while nowhis, description says he is "waiting for the conpetitive scene to start".
What it doesn't say is that he is waiting for it to start so that he can smash everyone else.

Alright makes sense. Can't even imagine seeing this game played in tournaments.

I feel like Genji's ult and Reinhardt's hammer have really annoying hitboxes, but I dunno if they will fix that.
D.Va's is great, I like anything that sends the enemy team into a panic and causes them to split up like D.Va or Mei.
But I love Reinhardt's. The satisfaction of a HAMMER DOWN! and watching them all fall flat on their ass to be picked off by my DPS friends.
I think pulling off a good Reaper or McCree ult is the most satisfying though.

Reaper's is great when you have it set-off in just the right position.
9 times out of 10 playing support on a team that doesn't ever pick them is never going to defend you at all. Can't count how many times I've been on teams filled with Roadhog/McCree/Reaper that won't ever defend support characters.This should be the official image of Overwatch

The hard bot match was actually sort of challenging and fun. The game I dropped into the humans were losing and there was a duo of bot Reapers running around unchecked. Got things a bit under control with McRee then we clustered around the payload and showed more teamwork than most pvp games I see.
It's just great. I mean D.VA. to rush into a ball of enemies and set my exploding mecha down...and watching them run away
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OJkoJWgsZCg I'll practice that move.

Enemy team crowding on the point then you get to pop the ult and punch them off the cliff. It's one of the best feelings in the game.
