Yes but until then me as a Reinhardt there's nothing I can do to defend myself against him.
Even with my shield up he'll just lob it over the shield and stun me. I have to someone react fast enough to bring my shield above my head when he does that.
he can stun them lol
Combined smalll turrets all over the place though, plus super laser jumping shenanigans in the frontline. My team hasn't lost yet with this setup.

That sounds like a complete waste of a hero slot. Low mobility, lots of setup time, short-range, low health, lack of utility in stacking her abilities/ult.
Yep.
I think there are a lot of Reins afraid of their sheilds breaking? So freaking tired of reins dropping their sheilds to melt, was in a point destroying a turret while rein blocked me from the other one and I don't hear that his sheild breaks but he just dies and though I destroy one turret I die to the other. Damn these randoms.
It's better to drop it with 1 energy than to let it break though. Difference in recharge is 3 seconds!

Right, right. But if I'm hovering over Reinhardt with shield up I should be aiming more or less at him though?
yep, just aim at him for direct hits. if you miss, you can also get splash damage.
Yeah aim them at him or behind him a bit for splash depending at your angle. Your movement doesn't affect the rocket movement at all.
On the other hand, that's 12 turrets covering almost every way possible, at least one transporter is always up at all times, and then there's two symmetras jumping around and circle strafing people with their death lasers.

Speaking of Sym, Lucio and Symmetra need more hostile dialogue when they're near each other at the beginning of a map.
The one thing I really, really hate about playing with randoms?
Hardly anybody ever uses the "My Ultimate is _____" command. Seriously on PC it's just default Z key... It's so easy and makes coordinated ults much easier to do (I know you can see ally ult status on by pressing tab, but this is still more convenient). Instead I consistently play with people who try to use their ults to solo an enemy team and die one by one.

I didn't even realize it was a dedicated key until yesterday. Maybe start the match by letting people know and they might hit it for you occasionally lol. Maybe something mid match like "what's everyone's ultimates at? you can hit z to broadcast to team"

Somehow I didn't know this and my highest eliminations in one game is with Pharah

Play him on offense.

The worst part is the two minutes you spend staring at the main menu because your last team was fucking awful and you don't want to be matched up with them or against the good team that thoroughly destroyed you again, so you wait to make sure someone else fills that spot instead.
Yes but until then enjoy playing against 1-2 every game.

Saying "12 turrets" really doesn't scare me. I usually get killed by them the first time I walk by them when I don't know that there's a Sym on the opposite team, but after that, they're very easily gotten rid of.
Sure. You can play her and win with her. You can even play double with her and win with her. She's still usually a suboptimal pick in comparison to other picks.

Everyone I played against on PS4 had garbage aim though on long range. He'd be amazing with keyboard + mouse.
Stun + Quickshots were really effective but not on the large area maps we were on. Picked off way too quickly. Hanzo multi-arrow shots were better for corridors imo.
So I ran into this Reaper tonight...

I was playing as a Zenyatta and a McCree fan-the-hammer'd me then put in the all-chat "gotcha "
I'm so confused... Of course he'd kill Zenyatta close range.... What was the point of that lol?

While this is annoying, I like this game's idea of "tanks", Not the League of Legends style un-killable ball of stats that can kill squishy targets with ease while tanking 4 other ppl for 10 seconds and then escape healthy.
I love to catch people off guard with rip tire
Also, how many of Symmetra's teleporters can be on at once?
As many Symmetras there are in the game I imagine.
Symmetra won't gain any Ultimate charge while she has a teleporter up, so a single one can only place one.
So much goes on at different times, that sometimes it's next to impossible not to shoot them.

I'm pretty confident 1.75 McCree bullets takes out Zenyatta

I don't think it's at all surprising that people who play Mei don't understand how the game works.

#256 Zarya checking in. I didn't know about this website. Very cool.
Also lol at my W/L at exactly 66/66
I've gone several games in a row now where I've been able to completely dodge his ult. There's a big, obvious sound and it moves slowly. If you're a Bastien or Tank character in the dead center of the shot, you're probably SOL though, but that's fair
It's surprising the number of Junkrats I've seen that don't know you can make the rip-tire jump. I like coming in from aboveI love to catch people off guard with rip tire

Yeah but, you can consciously to not to continue to fire rockets into a Zarya that has a barrier. =P
Fair point. I had an allied Mei trap me behind an ice wall while the enemy was contesting the point. It sucked. ;_;

How do you counter torb spam? I feel like some maps just have turret places that are impossible to break and no one uses fucking voice chat so you can't coordinate taking out the turrets one by one. Even if you come close to killing oneby yourself there two more turrets elsewhere and everyone is too busy reapering the Reinhardt to care about the point.

There are people who still don't seem to understand that Junkrat can kill you right after he dies. It always makes me giggle when I take someone out that way.
I just figured out today that you can use Widowmaker to grapple up to the top of the animal-people statues in the beginning of Anubis (A) and snipe from up there.

Even though most people don't use mics, they can still hear you. I've successfully commanded a few teams where I was the only guy speaking. It feels bossy, but sometimes people need a little guidance
To answer your question though, Reinhardt (preferably 2) + Hanzo/Windowmaker can make short work of turrets
