Not worthless. Just not stupid like some other games. Oh you can take a clip from an assault rifle but a cut with a knife one shots you. In this game it's more of a game to push just a bit more damage when you're reloading or following up as a combo, like with Roadhog.
Nah, it's not great, but it isn't entirely worthless. Use it when they're super low (about dead, basically) and you're out of ammo. Rather than reload, just punch face to get the kill.

Agreed. Such a good back-line killer.
Ahahaha, I am in awe.

Clever.
This game is too fucking addicting. I'm even enjoying games with pubs, somehow.
I tried practicing Winston earlier and I was just getting absolutely, utterly, obliterated. Admittedly, it was with randoms who were not working with me. Is that the only missing ingredient? Teamwork? Or is there another trick to make Winston work?

God Damn!
Now everyone will be trying to replicate this in pubs and their teams will lose because they can't pull it off
It depends what you were trying to do with Winston. Trying to stay near the front like the other tanks will get him destroyed, he wants to be jumping behind and over most of the enemies to pester the ones in the back like snipers.

Melee is flat 30 damage on all characters (except Reinhardt and Torbjorn as they do 75 with hammers) so it is actually a very useful tool in close quarters combat to finish a kill.
Also works with Genji, D-Va, Widowmaker and maybe Tracer. Technically also Mercy.
Awesome!
I don't think tracer would work. Her teleportation is only horizontal.
Don;t know why anyone would want to spend much time playing as the most generic character in the game anyway
Just had a 29 elimination defense game on Gibraltar with Tracer. Had a pulse bomb triple kill as POTG and a 51% kills participation. Feels good man. They advanced the payload really fast and it seemed like we were going to lose so the come back feeling was definitely great.

I mean alot of the ultimates are super good. Soldier 76 has the down side of being worthless at overwhelming any sort of shielding, needing to reload, etc. I personally hate Junkrat's fucking bullshit tire. But that's mostly because I play healer and I swear to God it knows where I am all the time.
Definitely the most boring to play imo. But he's pretty powerful in the right hands and works in every situation and map.
Comebacks in Overwatch in general feel really good. Overtime + the respawn timer are tuned so perfectly.
People care too much about him being generic. He's a change of pace from many other characters in the game and very mobile.
He's fun.
For Genji/Roadhog/Tracer it's basically a core ability.

Erm hes got a massive hitbox to soak up damage and 300 heal, and disruptive abilities.
He's an easy fallback hero when you're getting wrecked.
Fuuuuuck
It does 30 damage. That is 1/5 of the health of say, Tracer.
Melee is great to throw in when a squishy gets close to you and is about to run off or bunnyhops around directly in your camera cause the melee cone you hit in front of you is actually pretty big.
I have killed many a squishy who tried to bunnyhop around me with melee.
Huh? Why don't you just open them?
This happened to me last night. I think she got like 5 kills with the barrage. Wasn't even mad

You want 0 skins, emotes, poses, etc.? You're just going to default everything? I think you might be literally the only person.
I hate RNG but it's the only way to get those things.

I don't feel this loot as well. Level 27, no a single purple or gold skin so far, not even much gold to buy things. But I won't give up. The game is fun when played with friends, so I hope someday I will get a skin I want (the Pharah mecha queen)
Don't hate on my Kerrigan icon.
Reminds me of a stream I was watching last night. Had a group of people level 40-50 call a group of single digit players "kids" and the streamer was bragging about how they had the match in the bag.
The streamer's team lost pretty bad. Made for a funny moment.

Stack banning is already being implemented in competitive leagues and the results are more diversified teams and much more entertaining matches for viewers. I hope ranked mode follows suit.
I unbinded melee because I occasionally pressed the stick (consoles). Never missed it.

I did this because I saw the other video with d.va doing something similar
Why people get angry when I play with thorbjörn in attack matches ? I like to play engineers in all games and while I am not the best I can manage my own and contribute to the team. In this game however people reported me for playing as thorb in attack matches... I tried most of the attack characters and didn't like the way they played. Is it wrong I don't like a play style and use my own ?
