I fought an amazing Hanzo yesterday, but the whole team was really exceptional so he was just average as far as those guys went, their Mercy was their best player by far.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Most don't know that standing on the payload heals them, at least.
They mentioned McCree nerf, D.Va buff and I think Widowmaker nerf as well.

I got into one where it gave me the loss before I even picked my character.

I think Mei works in any mode/map but she's ineffective vs certain characters. If a team is playing a Bastion (or two) and turtling hard with it, then you're better served switching heroes. Otherwise, Mei fits in most situations.

Least I swap when I see it's not working out or if we already have a Widow 😎
That would totally ruin Quickplay. It'd just be non-stop leaving the moment a team shows some weakness. The winners wouldn't have fun against a steadily collapsing opponent. Every person who's put into the losing team would also leave and get frustrated by the experience (as shown here).
Unless you're also advocating a "win by no-contest" clause?
Team got chewed out for being bad at playing objective and finding teleporters
By a widow
On offense
Not even having the objective in sight, camping on the first street of Hollywood.

It does (heal you) but only if you are on the offense side, iirc.

Hanzo: For when you not good enough for Widowmaker, but not good enough to play McCree either

I dunno, it depends. I've certainly won games by ice walling their turrets/bastion encampment but these are pretty bad players who don't think to just move from their spot.

Or for when you want to play Hanzo and not Widowmaker/McCree

Got OW2 today, thanks for the answers to my post asking for some suggestions about the game.
It's easy to get into, did some training with bots and dropped into some matches.
Interesting game, Mercy really shines on a balanced team.
Also, Mei can also be super-useful slowing down attacks.
As for Hanzos, man screw them and their definitive attacks.

I don't remember the game even explaining most of how anything works....or maybe I missed tutorial pieces past the Soldier 76 piece ?

no i mean. we were a bit far. i was lucio actually hitting it. idk where the fuck pharah was at but she didn't clear the path for the payload. i was about to switch to her but it would have been a long walk to get back lol
actually. idk what the other team was doing tbh.
Exactly...people play differently in pro scene. Some heroes like Hanzo get taken out quickly due to being high priority leading to them not getting as many kills and being picked as much..which results in lower tier.
But that doesn't mean it's gonna be the same in pubs...it won't be the same even in pugs.
Sure people will see pro teams using 2 McCree and copy it but it won't be the same because they will play different still...with different priorities.
Just if it makes it more interesting for anyone, the rules force a 1 hero limit, no double mcrees!
Walling isn't a solution though, especially for Bastion. He can tear through the wall very quickly and still shoot and Mei can't exactly fight either Bastion or a turret unless she has her ultimate. They both counter Mei pretty hard unless they're special and let you snipe them slowly with her alt fire. Might as well swap to something a bit more effective.

Just left a match where someone on our team demanded that their Pharah get a pocket Mercy or else they were switching to Widowmaker, which, like, who put you in charge of everyone? And then when we lost they blamed it on the Mercy for not healing them exclusively, and again, fuck you buddy. So then the next round that person and the Mercy they were hounding both switch to snipers and when we lose that one too (two Reinhardts and a Zarya, definitely sniper fodder) the SAME PERSON is all "glad we had an awesome Widow."
Never seen someone so entitled in a match before. Yikes.

So I play mostly with Mercy.....do you appreciate when I show up and randomly heal you?
I reason that I'm decent at the healing part and the alt damage boost....I just want to make sure that my occasional kill and horrible k/d is acceptable when I'm dishing out the heals

Having my reinhardt melted by a flashbang combo is still annoying even in pubs.
Nothing makes me spam the thanks emote more than being saved by a clutch Mercy

Your K/D as Mercy literally doesn't matter. If you're healing me at all, great. If you save me from certain death, I love you forever.
Healing people is your job! You're doing your job! I can't imagine why people WOULDN'T appreciate you, unless you're only healing one person on the team ever.

Sent out some more invites on the PC list. Impressive # of signups! bigwinnerx#1750 on Americas.
My most played are Lucio/Mercy/Pharah/Rein depending on map if that matters on acceptance of my invite or not.
Also, on topic, was in a match with a Lucio who never once switched over to heal. Just skated around on the point while 5 of us are standing there needing health. Good gracious.

Unless they are below 25% then what are they even doing?
maybe they're just saving it for the good players
That's more to do with McCree himself being OP.
But when someone disregards a hero and says they are a "non factor" because pro teams consider them low tlor while at the same time they are pretty dominant in pub/pug games then that's just incorrect.

My GTX 1080 came in last night! Finally can bump shadows up to high and still get 60+ FPS in 1440p. Yippie!
Maybe they are saving it for slower heroes.
I won't take a teleporter if I am playing Genji unless there is a team battle already going on that I died from.

Being killed by Reaper, McCree, Genji or Tracer while their team does jack to help them?

Depends on the team, I think. If everyone's busy doing their own thing (read: getting shot in back alleys without backup) then I don't know what a Mercy or Lucio's going to be able to do about it. If people are kind of grouped up, though, you might have a case.
Junkbag, Tracer Ult, Reaper ult and to some degree Genji but you'll have to take then down one at a time starting from Bastion then Mercy (but quickly) then maybe leave Reinhardt for others or take him down if you're feeling pro.

No. What's more infuriating is having a Widowmaker or Bastion use your teleporter and decide that spot is where they'll snipe from.
I'm actually putting effort into hiding my teleporter you dumb shits. Go find somewhere else to get your fucking kills.
Well, sometimes you're playing Lucio on a Payload attack and every other member of the team is off sniping/jerking off.

I find Symmetra and Reinhardt to be my favorite characters so far.
They can completely turn around matches in your favor, I love it.
With Symmetra, if you position the teleporter just right defending becomes a breeze... Love that character!
