Winston's leap is basically just a big rocket boost in whatever direction you're facing, followed by losing all momentum when you contact the ground and splashing everybody around you.

So aiming his leap is mostly a matter of pointing your viewport along the parabola you want to travel on. If you point too low, you'll hit the ground too quickly. You want to point upwards. Kinematics, bro!

Also, you don't need to be on the ground to leap. You can jump first, then leap.

You can also save yourself from falling off the world by leaping upwards fast enough.

Then they simply stop shooting as soon as you deflect. That only works against Pharah and Junkrat, since you can bait them or deflect on reaction. Anyone with hitscan, they merely stop shooting for 2 seconds.

Playing Genji is always a mind game, yes he takes more effort than any other Hero to play successfully, and indeed The Bastions and players in general are learning not to be trigger happy but oh isn't he rewarding when you kill somebody, you have to be as accurate as possible with his shurikens and use his dash to its full potential always mindful of when it's being recharged etc.

Last night playing Mercy I had to push the payload by myself. I know your pain.

i did that but then i realized i should push it while everyone was around me and the payload trying to keep people away. they were close enough i can heal but far enough i don't get hit by the other but it's hard to hide behind a small payload because i can't tell if i'm being seen from the other team or not. LOL i remember i thought it was hiding behind a vase on Hanamura. saw myself on the kill cam.. nope lol

My reaction to people saying 'just keep distance on McCree and he's easy' is like Charlie Kelly in this clip

Like thanks for the amazing tactical advice guys, I'll just make sure I'm never close to him, can we put him in the corner of the map and ask him not to move just so it's easier for us to remain at a distance?

So I was complaining last night about going 2-8, and I was wrong. It wasn't that bad.

Spoiler

It was 2-6, and I'm still salty.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

One of his skins already makes him look 90% alike to MGR Raiden

Yeah but Gray Fox would be awesome.

Taking a closer look at Genji they definitely took some inspiration from Metal Gear Rising's Raiden design hehe.

But who can blame them, it's Shinkawa.

He shouldn't tear tanks apart like he currently can, but even if McCree worked as he should, the main advice for him would still be to maintain as much distance as possible.

There should be a lady gorilla, like Donkey Kong in drag. A quirky inventor ape lady who's inventions are always blowing up in her face.

She could be like Amy Rose to Winston's Sonic, right? Like, she could be all like "Winston Senpai" and he would be all "eugh, get away from me. You're such a dummy and weird." but then she would use her superior intellect to build a banana gun and her up smash could be like Wario's fart except a poop canon or something. Then Winston would be like "sorry bb, I misjudged you" but then she'd be like "You made me realize that I'm into omnics". Do omnics have genders? I don't think they should. Her and Winston would always have this awkward tension thing going on during that safe room banter. She could have all sorts of saucy lines like "Don't make me go banana's on you", "Did you just call me a monkey?" or "And they said my invention would never work, HMPH!"

Yeah, that'd be sick.

if they give fth a cooldown then the advice would be to bait him into using it

you can do that now with flashbang (which i've been pretty good at using tracer blink and mei invuln) but even if he can't disable you his close range damage is still stupid

[Kor of Memory]

My only complaint about the game so far is it feels like I'm playing the same maps over and over. I mean, I've booted up the game 3 times today and all 3 times it put me on Kings Row. I play that map far more than the others I believe. It's always the payload maps too. I rarely get to play the KOTH ones. Is it just bad luck?

HELL OF A EDIT: Just clicked search for game....guess where I'm at? KINGS FUCKIN ROW FOR A FOURTH TIME. This cannot be coincidence.

Well, you only have a 25% chance of getting a KotH style map. 50% for a payload map, and 25% for a shitty capture the zones style map.

It's just bad luck.

 

[theSlacker]

These "Everyone pick the same character! LOL!!!" matches have gotten old fast.

It's about the only way you can mix it up for a match after a few hours of playing seriously.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

there's a cue but it's quieter than most and isn't global. if she pops it far enough away you can't hear it at all.

She's a sniper. She does it far away so you can't hear her.

Granted I'm only level 20 so I guess I'm still facing noob snipers who use it too close, because I hear it all the time. I figured it was global.

so triple question mark right back atcha.

Spoiler

double triple question mark back atcha

[Muzicfreq]

Because of the character selection process, I feel like I'm forced to play either a heavy or support character in 90% of the matches I play. Here's how it usually goes down.

Person 1 immediately picks Hanzo. This always happens.
Person 2 picks Reaper.
I pick McCree or Tracer.
Person 3 picks Tracer or McCree.
The two other guys don't pick anyone until the timer runs out.
I switch to Lucio because duh we need a healer.
Person 4 picks Soldier 76 or Torbjorn.
Person 5 picks Junkrat or D.Va.

I'd say this happens in at least 80% of my matches. I'm ALWAYS stuck playing a heavy (usually Reinhardt or Roadhog -- at least he's fun) or support character.

Story of my life in the game.
Though lately I just gave up and force someone else to choose now.

I dunno. I feel like I've seen some real bullshit Widowmaker replays but maybe I'm just salty and the replay function isnt perfect. Some people are actually just good with her, though.

Blizzard is good at cracking down on cheaters, they have a zero tolerance policy and you lose everything on your bnet account, so everything in WoW/Hearthstone/Overwatch/Diablo/StarCraft, potentially thousands of dollars.

So don't fucking cheat.

Thanks, that's what I figured. Just wanted to know if there was some interrupt trick or something out there. He seems like a fun anti hanzo, window, and mercy hero.

 

[Grisby]

There's a GIF of a Mei attempting this but failing to kill Zarya. Zarya ends up punching Mei in the face, and then does her own emote.

That sounds pretty neat. To be fair, it would feel pretty good if I was Zarya in that situation.

I made a Mei irrationally angry because I was pressuring her and barely knocked her off the stage. Her air control would've been able to get her back on the platform, but she wanted to freeze herself.

So she fell to her death.Like Winston, the only good Mei is a dead Mei.

Also, the best feeling is triple tapping a Pharah who thinks she can share the sky with you while her pocket mercy hovers worthlessly around with her.

Then killing her, too.

I need the Morgan Freeman pic of "Oh he mad!' changed to "Oh he Mei!".

You monster, how can you even sleep at night?

I turn the AC all the way down.

If someone does that excited emote to me, I am going to hunt them all over the map. I will forego the actual objective in favor of destroying Mei. Mei's ruin will be the objective. And the objective will be mine, over and over. It will not be a-Mei-zing.

Sounds like you need to chill out.

I do my job.

Ice to meet you.

That's true. I'm not sure what I would do to reliably bait, but yeah.

Toblerone is so fucking good. I played my first game as him and got play of the game.

So at some point yesterday I saw a message that said I've been forced to leave the group chat as I was playing solo.

I wasn't even using my headset so I have no idea what that was about.

Anyway, I noticed I haven't heard anyone speak since then, and when I've tried to talk to randoms I don't get any sort of acknowledgement. Do I need to turn this back on somewhere?

[X-Frame]

Is there a list somewhere of all the maps and which mode is played on them?

I feel like it's an oversight that it doesn't say if it Payload or KOTH or Zone Capture in the character select or something.

I still seem to forget which is which.

Yeah. Depending on the severity of the offense, your account can be suspended or closed. Suspended means you can come back, usually within a few months (botters in WoW, HS and Diablo usually get hit by this) but straight up cheaters/hackers can get the closed account, which means its gone.

Met a full Symmetra team on Hollywood today, the first time me and a friend entered the area where the point was we got zapped by tons of turrets, was pretty funny.

We both changed to Winston and fucked up those turrets and 3-4 of them but due to several transporters being up and the rest of our team refusing to adapt we eventually lost in overtime.
