That skin really is awful. I'm generally into punk anesthetics, but it looks so corny and cliche. Like a suburban fourteen year old that's trying very very hard to look punk.
edit : lol, just noticed my typo

Do you get extra XP for the first weekly brawl or something? Just wondering if it's worth playing.
Yeah it's so bad.
Overwatch art's team must not be familiar with punk culture and aesthetics to be honest.
Zarya's punk/goth skin is just as bad.
Nope. Nothing special for playing brawl for now.
He probably switched when he was pushing in and no one was grouping up on him :lol

This entire game is corny and cliche. All of the characters are walking cliches.

I like the alternative Tracer punk color. Ultraviolet?
Ok, won't bother with it for now then.

I didsomething like that with Roadhog. Used the chain to pull a Tracer and Soldier to me as I was by the ledge.

Love playing this map as Lucio. I always flank through the right corridor behind the entering enemy team and get 1-3 people into the hole with my amplifier.

Lol, probably true. When I'm Zen and we have a good Rein on our team, I wish I could spray this gif everywhere during the match,

Honestly if a game is going bad and looks like it's unwinnable I use that time to practice other characters. Tbh people that only use one character don't help Anyone in the long run and it's good to have at least 5 or 6 characters you have a good grasp on for different situations if you plan on taking the game even 10% seriously

I learned that Tracer is not a good counter vs the AI turrets, stupid things flip backwards and wreck you faster then you know what's happening

Yeah unlike tf2 the turrets in this do not have turn timing they insta hit whatever is closestI learned that Tracer is not a good counter vs the AI turrets, stupid things flip backwards and wreck you faster then you know what's happening

Yeah, turret track/fire time is pretty crazy.

Any tips on using genji?

She can out run the tracking with teleports. You can dash in, throw a sticky down and rewind with no issue.
Aside from those catastrophic pub games, I feel like most of the time when a game goes downhill it has to do with not waiting for your teammates. You just get caught in an infinite loop of maybe 2-3 people dying, the other 3-4 people rushing in late, the first group of people that died respawn and run back as the 2nd group gets wiped out. People don't realize that you need a complete reset at that point.

Just faced a team of six Torbjorns on defence...
How exactly do you counter that?
They had turrets everywhere and piles of shields.
That's gotta be the least fun match of Overwatch I've played.
Reinhardt - Bastion x2 - Torbjorn x2 - Zenyatta is a close second.
This. So much this.
A counter to a turret they can place right back up with 1/3rd one ability followed by your ultimate followed by your other ability isn't something I'd rely on; Now you're drained with no ultimate and didnt even kill anyone.

Use your mobility advantage, all the time.
Train yourself to learn which projectiles you can reflect back and get the timing down.
Yup, I see this all the time. I'd hope people would figure this out within their first few hours of playing, but nope.

My post from the first OT:
Harrassing the enemies backline is what i mainly use him for, get in and get out kind of thing. Chip down target from medium range and try finishing them off with the dash.
Remember the dash resets after every elimination so you can dash, eliminate someone then immediately dash again. You dont have to get the final hit as long as the "eliminated" text comes up then you can dash.
Genjis double jump and dash both seriously disorients most players ive come across. Mostly Tanks like Dva, Roadhog and Reinhardt.
Especially Reinhardt. In a fairly open space you can shred him just by running and jumping above and around him smartly. He'll just start swinging wildly.
Staying on high ground is a good idea and never forget about your reflect, its saved me a bunch of times.
Edit: his L2 fan shuriken attack is real good for fast moving characters like Tracer and lucio

I do this when no one groups with me as Rein. At a certain point, if no one is grouping then Rein's usefulness plummets.
If you coordinate with decent D.vas you can easily take one each. The problem is, apart from getting people to do that of course, if you guys wait too long chances are they'll be able to enter an ult cycle which will make it almost impossible.
Yeah, this happens a lot in KotH, and it's annoying, but somewhat understandable because of the fast countdown. Maybe they should have a 4 TEAM MATES DEAD warning upon respawn.
I really want "Fibra Cabrona" (Spanish for "Badass Fibre")

Indeed, six torbjorns is an insane defence since they can stroll around buffing each other and putting up a turret the moment one is destroyed, meanwhile you need to coordinate every moment to maximize how much ground you take. That match is really souring my experience with this game.

Turrets can be replaced right away, a few kills me everyone is buffed by shields, and the turret's ability to turn so fast and hit so quick makes even trying to snipe it not the best idea.

Yeah, but what he described was a lame cliche. I don't know why anyone would want to play as a teenage suburbanite punk kid. Even the teenage suburbanite punk kids hate who they used to be by the time they're like 21.
Everyone has been really nice in chat and it's never hard to get a game, but there are still quite a few people that don't understand that it's objective based and don't play accordingly.

I haven't bought any loot boxes. Just from playing:
s76: night ops + daredevil
symmetra: goddess
tobjorn: biker
lucio: ribbit frog face
pharah: mecha
mercy: valkyrie
Not including epics which there are a couple great looking ones, and rares.
Very easy to unlock stuff in this game.

D.Va, Zarya, Junkrat.
I played against a team of six Torbs a few days back. We rolled them hard. I wasn't even playing a real counter! I was just playing Pharah. Just gotta work on your turret killing mechanics, peek and poke, grab the health pack.
Has anybody who played Winston found out what the hell is happening when you almost wipe the enemy team but like 1 or 2 toons by jumping in leading the charge with your group behind you but for some reason everyone has wiped before you? WTF!? How?!
Had a match where it kept happening.

Amazing, I'd buy that one at a high price
Welcome to PUG gaming. Where they can die even without doing anything.
So a guy I friended in-game was telling me that he's playing on a store-bought HP laptop and only gets 20fps on low. On top of that he's on some terrible Canadian internet (can't remember what he said it was) and his ping goes from 60ms to 1500ms periodically. Like, how can someone stand to play like that?

Figured I'd play some of my least played heroes today and had a pretty good game with Junkrat who I'm liking more each time I play him.

Doesn't even need to be a full team of Tornbjorns on defense, say 3 or 4 and there's no way a pub game is going to coordinate an attack well enough to overcome that. I still maintain his turret is the most OP and un-fun thing in the game by a wide margin.
