Genjis can reflect the richochet arrow back at you before it splits so it explodes in your face.
It makes me sad fam
Why aren't you firing it at their feet? That's usually a one shot if you shoot it close to their feet (although with Genji I imagine he can deflect the resulting arrows back at you).

I wanna know why he blew his ult when dude had 61hp left.
Same with McCree's flashbang. He can deflect it back at you but if you throw it at his feet it'll get him still.
Hey Apathy...
...what time is it? :3
I am. Its usually the far ones you shoot into crowds ;_;

So Genji and McCree are probably going to be the first to get nerfs right?

Sorry sir I flunked flank.
McCree's fan the hammer is almost surely going to get hit atleast. I believe there were dev notes from a patch before saying they didn't want that to be his main way of attacking.

Sometimes I wonder how many people I make scream at the PC on any given day with my two favourites being Mei and McCree. My poor, misunderstood babies get all the hate
Yeah at least put a cooldown on it like Lucio's alt.

This kills the Batman. If you change anything on him it would be the flashbang.

I LOVE Winston, he's really good when your team just isnt getting it but isnt completely stupid and you aren't doing to well. I pull him out everytime the team goofs too much and cant adapt to highly aggressive teams. The key is picking when you have that feeling you're team isnt getting it fully.
It also lets me take out my rage on everyone. He's just like this "TO HELL WITH EVERYTHING!" character and I love it! I jump in and go insane on every player that was pissing me off on the oppsite team, Torb and his Turrets, Bastion, Mercy to hell with ypur strategies!

I've been dominating on the PC with Pharah but earlier today I went to play on the X1 version of the game with my little bro but much to my surprise I was doing utterly terrible. The controls feel off. They feel very floaty and there feels like there is a ton of input lag. I've been playing with a controller my whole life so I don't attribute it to not being familiar with one. The controls just feel really sluggish.
How much health does Mei have? She seems to stay at a healthy half health at least from a hanzo body arrow when im caught and try to kill her.
Also how do you Winston? You jump in, pop your bubble but your gun has no range and outside the bubble he is shockingly squishy so what to?

Buy me the Blackhardt skin for Reinhardt.
Nomad skin is better than that trash breh.
What do you even do about that though? It already has almost no range and the effect doesn't last super long. I feel like you'd have to remove it completely or do something where it only affects you when you're looking at the flash?
I have the biggest "fuck you" around here somewhere... hold on, let me find it.

Metal Gear Solid Grey Fox is cool, I admit
I feel the same way about McCree and Soldiers, my other offense mains. Hard to beat Clint Eastwood cowboy and Gold color with Cyclops eyes soldier
I really want Lucio Frog and Roadhog Court Jester tho
I got the clownshoe Daredevil costume for Soldier and use it out of obligation.
I already got the best outfit in the game with Thunderbird Pharah though so the rest is whatever.

I love Pokken!
all that McCree salt

^Thunderbird Pharah is some racist shit, lol. Im sticking with purple Gravity Suit Samus Pharah
There's never a reason not to have a McCree on your team. Beats every single character 1v1, Ulti guarantees at least one instant kill with a good team, if not more, left click is deadly in the right hands. Can't self heal, but doesnt matter cuz Lucio/Mercy.

Hang with your team a lot. You'll want to hop in, drop a shield, and dance around it with your teammates. He's really good if you double up too. Two Winstons is one of the best strategies for KOTH maps.

It lasts long enough to guarantee a kill, no one beats McCree close range, I just run around like the Terminator knowing worst case I run into a Roadhog and I might have to roll Hammer to finish him off. You could make it only affect people it hits face on, or even rework it and make it a very powerful snare so they'd still be basically immobile but they could at least fight back. Either way he'd still be very strong but not too strong like he is now.
Yeah, it surprises me we don't see him more in PUGS, is he somehow hard to play ?

250.
More because you can do the ice heal.
She legit tanks better than most tanks not named reinhardt.
Oh i have no issues with his alt, you get hit you're braindead.
His flashbang and fan are the main issue. the stun is too long, he one shots anyone the cooldown is too short and it hits you from behind, change all that and hes actually balanced

Well, I did say organized team. He's not somebody who can go off by himself cuz his mobilty is trash compared to Genji/Reaper/Soldier, and can't feel himself like Soldier or Reaper's orbs/invincible dash, or Genji double jumping/slashing/reflecting from danger. He's the guy who stands behind a focused push led by tanks/other DPS characters, landing shots, countering flanks, getting good vantage points for HIIIIIIIIIGH NOON, etc
Plus, ya know, you gotta aim. Single shot hitscans are harder than aiming rockets, holding a machine gun, or the huge hitbox for shotguns.

Ok, so maybe Blizzard shouldn't have had Torbjorn's Ult not only heal his turret, but himself as well. That is absolutely ridiculous that they left in a panic button of that caliber.
I think he's just too good. He's my go to guy in any Defend match, and let me tell you how easy it is to lame it out and keep his turret hard until I get enough meter for the Ult for which I have a "Get Out of Death FREE" Card whenever. Maybe a Pharah or a Junkrat will get lucky enough to land some direct hits. And maybe there will be a Widowmaker that can eye it enough to take it out, but overall, this is not the case, and people just can't help but get up close and personal with my turret only to fail.
His ult is the most braindead thing in the game. Like yeah make the turret stronger and raise its MaxHP for the duration, but don't heal both the turret and the owner in the process. I'm BEGGING someone to defend that bullshit. And he's my most played character, so it's not sour grapes. It's just... why.

POTG Mercy is the best.
It's very versatile too. I love shooting myself up to a higher level or in the middle of a fight.
Ah man, I want those so bad. Mercy, Tracer, and D'Va's. Probably in a few years, ;_;

Finally caved and snagged this on PS4. Gonna go in completely blind and see how I fare. I will most likely become hated by teammates.
