Don't worry, you can use his dash move to get behind him!
And see him instantly spin around and kill you in .5 seconds.

As far as I know, never. Its character, not weapon based they would have to create a whole system, the closest you will get to that is Brawl mode with all the crazy rules

Zarya is such a fun tank but I have a terrible read on her primary's range, it always feels like I'm just out of range. Plus my aim with her alt-fire is terrible, need to work on that. But shielding people against ults and what-have-you is the best feeling in the world
I would prefer that he becomes more apparent when he is in turret mode. Make the tracers in his rounds far more apparent and change his model so that it screams more of "a bastion turret is over here".

They took so much from Team Fortress 2, why didnt they take the Heavy's machine gun spreading/doing less damage after a certain range
The thing with the beam is that it actually has a tiny hitbox considering how wide the beam looks. Also, I think the beam actually comes out of the gun, so at closer ranges you need to aim a bit more left to compensate.

A good McCree can counter her pretty easily. You just need to be accurate with the flashbang when she gets close.
Don't 1v1 Tracer. Tracer is good at baiting fights. The problem is that any good Tracer can bail on you if the fight isn't going their way. This will just cause you to waste time on an opponent who is doing more harm by occupying your attention.

True but thats only if you're going straight for the reflect all the time.
Shurikens shred him well as posted on the previous page and doing the combination of both is optimal

Stoping doenst always work, I died by spraying the enemies and stoping when I saw him, he still reflected the bullets that were flying towards him after I stopped and killed me with that
McCree is the best counter with flashbang. Don't even need to fan on her since you can easily headshot her.

I keep on getting thrown into games that are more than half way through and even right as my team loses. Is this happening to anyone else?
McCree is superb against flankers, because he can negate their mobility with his flashbang. This is true vs all three - Reaper, Tracer, Genji. It's one of the reasons McCree is so good on defense.
The most infuriating thing is when they refuse to move, won a game earlier purely because Widowmaker stood (a foot or two) outside the objective shooting instead of stepping in.
Yeah, its very annoying, zoning in, starting to run, seeing Defeat pop up.
Then it's not enough, he still does way too much damage from across the map.

Happens a lot today. :/
At that distance he is going to lose to any sniper. Bastion is super bad in open spaces because of this

Literally all my games today.
I think it's more important to have a couple of people behind the defensive lines to disrupt the defense from setting up. That's usually what I do as Tracer. If they've already built their defense, it isn't very useful, But it's so useful to catch them early and have them attending to you instead of building their defense.
Aw, I dropped down to #2 already... =(
Not too far behind though.
Be aggressive with the boosters, use them to ram into people, especially those who are almost dead and trying to run away. When attacking, fly over/around the frontline chaos and either put pressure on the objective ASAP or harass enemy sniper/support/defense units. When defending, wait around corners and gun down enemies as they run by, or fly behind them and shoot from there, preferably from an elevated position. Try to lure people towards any cliffsides to push them off. Counter-snipe with the pistol from a distance, or cover high-traffic areas by shooting down a narrow line of sight. The best spots to self-destruct are on top of payloads, on high-traffic corners, and in major doorways for maximum coverage, but also remember to use it to clear out objective areas when needed. Use the shield either when retreating, or immediately after baiting lots of enemies to fire at you.
Haha, nice POTG. It's always fun pulling those self-destruct multikills off, thought I haven't had one quite that impressive yet.
For me, Overwatch = D.Va mech sim. I do not play any other character, and I probably never will. I've been figuring out the best ways to utilize D.Va in every situation.

I'm currently #148, but you have waaaaaaaaaaay more time with D.Va than I do. ;p

I tend to switch it up a lot depending on the situation.
Defense, I go Mei, Attack, D.Va.

She is tough to kill. The only character I haven't used yet.

Happens to me a lot to the point where i am quickly losing interest in the game until competitive is out.
Give me an option to where i can disable joining any game in progress because i will just leave the game and eat the very minuscule amount of XP loss then have to deal with being thrown into a game where the other team is already half way to the point or is going to B. I joined 3 games today that put me in right as defeat was coming up on the screen.
Gotta say that I love how detailed the maps are, like how Route 66 starts from a train that has been attacked and the cargo has to be carried to a hangar for transport, and how on Gibraltar it's a satellite from Winston's lab to launch, complete with a lot of text to read on various screens. Not all maps are quite as good at it (what are we fighting for on Ilios?), but it's still pretty well done. Also tons of unique assets per map. I wonder if they'll be able to keep this up for the post launch maps.
Just back up my dude. That range on her spray is so hilariously small.

New maps is definitely an exciting prospect. I've not really thought about it much but I love how detailed the maps are and can't wait for any additional content.

Need some advice. Really want to like this game, but like tf2 the game drifts between me just running from spawn to the objective and feeling like even when I'm doing something it's contributing nothing. I have a few favorite heroes, but when I'm getting melted by whomever, I try to switch, then I just end up switching characters the whole game. Really sucks when there's only a couple counters to choose from that might help in a situation but I know I'll just get rekt out the gate.
McCree works. Flashbang her and then DUMP.
Some offensive heros are just that good, even in the last beta mrcree was still on the top. What's the point in picking a defensive character when some attackers do the job better.
That's true, but I'm mainly talking about when most of the opposition team have died and you have a chance of pushing the payload. I'm normally Zenyatta in those experiences (not many want to support), so it can become very frustrating.
Help me GAF! Should I buy D.Va's Tangerine skin (orange mech, teal plugsuit) or her Blueberry skin (blue mech, orange plugsuit)? She's the last character I "main" that I don't have at least one skin for and I now have enough credits to get one (thanks to getting a duplicate Winston skin).
