What's a good strat for D.Va vs. other characters that do damage at close range? Fly away? I find Roadhog and Reaper can often chew through my mech in like 3 seconds, and even in heated battles with Roadhog he'll heal himself and I'm basically done. I find I can do ok taking him on from a distance, but at that point I might as well play as an actual ranged character.

Someone did that last night, I hopped in, it spat me right into the other, was in a loop until it disappeared... lol
I don't see how Dva could ever kill Roadhog. She has to stop moving to shoot, so he just hooks her and circle strafes her.
Honestly I think bumping into him to knock him away and then flying off is the best plan if you're stuck up close to him.
To be fair, the first time I played her I figured you had to manually place each point, not just the end point. Hopefully that's a one time error, haha.

Here's a question that came up during a GAF group the other day:
Can Junkrat's tire go into one of Symmetra's portals?

Guys - I got Overwatch last night, played it for six hours straight, went to bed and got like five hours of sleep, and now I'm at work and all I want to do is go home and play more. Help!
In actual match news - is it normal for defend groups to rush the attack spawn and just try and kill them there instead of, you know, defend the area? Was put in a few groups that kept doing that last night and it really made my attempts at proper defense with Torbjorn and Symmetra worthless.

Imagine a portal gun in this game. Would be so troll. Just toss everyone off the map including teammates.

Having the biggest streak of bad luck in terms of loot crates, maining Zenyatta, i've like 2 unlocks, one spray and one voice line. Funnily, the ones i have the most crap are heroes i've never or rarely played. I call fraud, Blizzard, fraud! ^^
Overportal!

godamn it mei.
Usually they'll try to hold down a point midway between the spawn and the defense point. Then, when that fails, they retreat to the defense point.

A portal gun would be so awesome in this game. They could limit the walls you can place portal on to reduce trolling. Maybe compliment sym's portal by not allowing initial portal near spawn. Quick short cuts and escapes, invulnerable and there until player death.

No I understand that. But these guys were literally running right up to the door and standing in front of it, waiting for it to open. One was Mei, but there were two or three other just regular offensive dudes that were just trying to create a choke point at the very beginning.
It didn't work. At all.
I think it's why they gave mei the sorry voice line, cause they knew this was going to be a thing
those are two of her worse matchups, reaper especially does work against tanks and their big hitboxes. you're not going to do well against them unless they get caught in your ult, avoid them and hunt squishies.
First time playing Lucio I was 100% sure that you have to switch your crossfade to yellow and shoot people with projectiles to heal them. I have no idea where that came from.

So Bastion...what the fuck man.
Did the same...I thought it would work similar to Engineer's teleporters.
I've had that work against me. If the team doesn't adjust or just pours out one-by-one, you can hold them there for a bit. It was a popular strategy last weekend. It makes the attack team either scatter or force them to play Reinhardt which can throw people off their original strat. Seems people have moved to the (better) strategy of holding the first choke point.
if they hook me I shoot them in the face as soon as they pulled me to them. works pretty well..so far.
we just had a reaper "die die die" potg last night... and honestly, it WAS the play of the game. Obviously the game just picked it because it was a team kill, but...... it was like a 5 minute overtime in WTG, both teams were trading with like 5 meters left to go on the payload, and the reaper ran ALL THE WAY AROUND THE MAP the long way, back through the attacking teams spawn area up from behind and did his ult getting the team kill. Obviously pressing Q took no skill.. but having the presence of mind to navigate the long way across the map without being spotted and ambushing them from behind... not only did he get potg but also got the Legendary card at the end from 10 out of 12 of the players.

I'd say 50% of my deaths have been to Bastion in sentry mode. Fuck that guy.
When you get hooked, hit E and back up. Roadhog's damage falls off way faster than D.Va's, so you just need to get to like half Mei range and you outdamage him.

I hope so. I can't believe there aren't a flood of OW figures and whatnot.

I was in the zone yesterday with Hanzo for one match.
Took down an ulting Genji close range
Ulted taking out another guy
Reflect killed another genji
Headshotted a Zenyatta long range and finally two shot a mei.
All within about 30-40seconds
Need to go rewatch the clip
I dont think ill ever be that good again for a while.

It all depends on how important your shield is to your team at that moment, and also who spawns closer to the objective in that particular mode and at that point in time.
He's pretty easy to counterpick though.
you can get a shot off before she can hit e, and her midrange damage is waaaaay worse than roadhog's right click

Most people don't even use his ult right. It does shit for damage and can be ignored a lot of the time unless you are on Nepal or Ilios where you can be knocked off extremely easy.
I have definitely blocked Roadhog's first shot but it might've been a bad Roadhog.
You are backing up too far if the canister's exploding. Roadhog has a dead zone.
That Roadhog must've been slow.
No squishy can his hook shot combo, except maybe Genji but the timing might be very close if he can.

That's not quite the issue. The issue is that in reality (on my client) I was never actually that far out from the wall.
(Note that these timings are purely for demonstrative purposes)
On my client, I press the "A" key to peek out, and then the "D" key to return to cover with an interval of 0.2 seconds between them. This means that on my client, my character's model was only ever 50% exposed from cover.
However, due to the rate at which the server sends updates to the other players, the update informing my enemy that I have begun moving back towards cover is not received for an additional 0.3 seconds, meaning that from his perspective I was moving away from the wall for a much longer time (and thus for a farther distance) than I ever actually was on my client.
Now, upping the tick rate would not eliminate this by any stretch of the imagination, but it would help to decrease the discrepancy.
Due to the mechanics of the game (In that, a sniper can kill me instantaneously with 1 hit due to it being a hitscan rather than a projectile), I think Blizzard should be doing everything possible to minimise the discrepancy to make for a better play experience.

I dont think that's right at all. Not in my experience anyway. D.Va's is so much lower to start and it's spread is probably just as bad if not worse than Roadhog's primary fire. Yes she does have altogether further max range... but it does very little damage. If you're within hook distance you're probably losing the DPS battle to Roadhog.... and if you keep firing as D.Va... you can't really move.
And according to this DPS chart http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20744955084
Roadhog has a primary maximum DPS of 225 secondary maximum DPS of 206.25
Diva has a primary maximum DPS of 168 secondary (Bunny light pistol) maximum DPS of 93.25

Of course I get in matches with mind numbingly bad Syms after going to bat for the character earlier-_-
On Lijiang-_- (blowout)
On Gibraltar defense (win in OT after I went after their Mercy and Lucio solo-with Lucio)
My soul hurts.

I just started loving him. I thought he was boring but now I just Wall ride and use speed 90 percent of the time. Fuck those that need healing. Lol
Edit: also how does the wall riding achievement calculate eliminations. Shots fired from the wall, kills from the wall, or assisted eliminations that were from the wall. I don't know which I'm trying to do.
wow lol

Yeah I'm noticing that, but I'm still learning all the characters since I just got the game and never played the beta. Gotta find where my sweet spot is and which characters I'm best with, so a lot of my deaths have just been me running around figuring shit out. Which is easy for a Bastion turret to take advantage of.
So far I feel like I do the best with Reinhardt, Mei, and Symmetra. I also like Lucio and Torbjorn. Haven't really gotten a feel for which offensive character suits me best - I've been the most consistent with Reaper but he seems so...boring to play with.
