Wow, what is it like to have an opinion and just claim it fact without actually listening to other people? Can you say it is a fact that pizza will stop causing my stomach to hurt because today sucks.
Because Pharah can't kill a tank in the time it takes her to fly up in the air.
It's not when nobody's capable of taking the turrets out themselves. If it didn't work I wouldn't try it (and usually succeed). You just need to be very fast on your toes and aim well, if you don't then yeah, you're toast.
Have you been living under a rock all this time.
Thanks guys. Just need practice.
I never learned soldier in tf2 sadly.
I love playing as an aggressive Reinhardt. When it works, your're a killing machine.
Also, why are people still complaining about playing in pub games? Unless you play at odd hours, there should always be Gafers to group up with. I have over 40 hours played, about 90% has been with a group.
he's getting nerfed so he doesnt kill tanks as fast
pharah has 200 hp. mccree will still be able to shoot her out of the air and will presumably still be able to kill her in one fan just like before lol xD

She's got to pick her spots but Tracer should generally never be with her team. She's an assassin. She should be picking off stragglers running back from the enemy spawn and in general flanking their ranks and causing chaos.

Because I am tired of McCrees melting me when I am playing Reinhardt or Roadhog. It is so ridiculous.

So I got called a HaxX0r and reported while playing as Genji...my life is complete.
Joke's on him when he gets banned for abusing the reporting system. Lol.
If you're talking about Torb turrets, every single tank can take one out. Probably two if played right.
If you're talking about Bastions, it's a little harder. Genji is probably the right pick for that.
I use Mccree and Pharah. People love to go up high and pop her ult, but it can be effective still without a jump if you aim correctly.
Where is the Battle.net FL? I want to add ppl.
Mccgree is the face to face offensive hero. He slow for his class and lacks movement options. He has a harder time sneaking up on teams.
That has nothing to do with McCree being stupidly strong.
My point was in the time Pharah flies up McCree can kill a tank by Flash, Fan, Roll, Fan. Only other hero that can kill a tank in the same speed without an ult is Bastion and he's a turret.
I killed 5 of them using my ult, he couldn't kill me using Mei so guess he was salty.
Had some nice rounds with Lucio and Symmetra today, woot support!
Was pretty nasty as Symmetra in king of the hill as I was taking out enemies left and right on the control points, especially the one in the greece ruins where I got PotG.
Also man got some folks that can get salty at bastion heh.

Did you forget about Reaper? He wrecks anything when he is close to them.
Lmao, if only the game was balanced around who was more annoying. Pharah is not OP by any stretch of the mind, a decent sniper will absolutely wreck her.
Mccree however just does too damn much. He has a aoe thrown stun (which i just found out in a recent game if you throw above reinheart's shield, it stuns him), insane low range burst damage in a huge aoe, great long range damage almost up to the point where u can snipe with him, a damage evasion coupled with a reload, etc.
I feel i could go on forever but the point is pretty obvious. He is just too damn good across the board. He is the one size fits all answer to everything. This is too much for any one class/hero.
The roll is not immediately ready by the time you flash and fan.
In fact if you flash and fan you are ass up in the air for a moment and you have no super mobility to get you out.
Not only that, you still have to make sure that you are packing at least 5 shots if not 6.
McCree is not a superman, his timers are staggered where competent opponents will make you meat if you are not perfect.
Some are just really good with him, as some are really good with other toons.
(Not me lol)

Speaking of Symmetra, I had a weirdly funny POTG as her a few minutes ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiidUutcuyg
At least Reaper doesn't have a stun... Not that it matters much.
He's supposed to be strong against tanks but he isn't immune to dying himself. McCree kills tanks in a stun, you can at least fight back against Reaper. McCree is supposed to use his stun for killing fast heroes like Tracer/Genji or flankers not melt tanks in a split second.
You can argue it if you want but Blizzard has already said they think he does too much damage to tanks.
... what? Are you saying he can't kill tanks if he doesn't have his cooldowns up? What does that even mean?
Reaper feels like he's in a depressing spot compared to McFan.
Armor fucks him over so badly, too. Damn near cuts his DPS in half while McCree just loses 5 damage of his Peacekeeper shot.

Because he's borderline broken he's so OP, he needs to be balanced. No one comes close to McCree, there a reason you see 1 - 2 McCree's on both teams in competitive matches, he can do everything and he's very easy to play at a high level.

KOTH maps have a ton of geometry that is never used. The indoor point in Lijiang Tower has a whole dark room with stairs to a second floor that leads to that little balcony overlooking the point where Pharahs sometimes shoot from. Those rooms are almost always empty. I mean, obviously it's because people are on the point at all times but still, quite a lot of map that goes unused.
Thanks! I really like the askew highlight with her expressions as she fixing the screen, plus I adore her architect skin. Chibi Symmetra looks nice too.

Sometimes you get paired with a group of people that use two Widowmakers, a Bastion, and a Torbjorn on an attack and move the payload map.
Then sometimes you get paired with a group of people who know exactly what they're doing and rinse the opponent in under 5 minutes on Temple of Anubis and completely destroy the competition.
Public games are risky as fuck.

I like putting turrets (Torbjorn's) on that balcony, if the opponents don't have a Pharah (or until someone switches to her).
Askew is the best of her intros, though my reality is a close second. Thanks.Thanks! I really like the askew highlight with her expressions as she fixing the screen, plus I adore her architect skin. Chibi Symmetra looks nice too.
I was about to get snarky about two Torbjorns on Ilios .. But those nasty little Swedes made me eat crow.
Whatever. I'm glad they offer the ability for people to buy it because the higher level you go, the slower you level up and the slower you get the loot boxes. Sorry, but I don't have time to grind and I have a job so if I have the money to buy them, I will. If you have time to grind, good for you.

What I would do to McCree. Remove fan the hammer. make it so flashbangs allow you to move but not shoot unless they throw it at your head.
Gz, that's an amazing box.
Yeah, you're right. We're all wrong. That is why there is a McCree in every game and most competitive teams run two of them.
I can't believe Blizzard hasn't seen the truth of the matter yet.
Needs to stun though, its intended to mostly stop tracers/genjis

Yeah, I've been skeptical about Bastions/Torbjorns on capture maps, but I've been rinsed by people who are good with them a few times.

Yeah, I find I can always make a contribution with her, and my last session I decided to say fuck it and played as her whenever I could (except on a defense on a map where Symmetra could shine) instead of worrying about being the one to switch for team balance. Had an absolutely glorious run, including one match where I knocked out 5 of the 6 enemies to contribute to a Team Kill. Once you learn how to lead your targets, and recognize which characters are your real threats and blow them up first, Pharah is an absolute beast.
Remove fth and replace it with what? You would have to speed up his regular shot and increase the range to make him worthwhile. Without fth he would be terrible. Easily the worst offensive hero.
Personally I think they should just copy Call of Duty's example and have flashbangs blind you for a few seconds. That way you're essentially stunned but you have a chance of escape, and close-range tanks like Reinhardt and Roadhog will be able to counter it.

Should be on direct hit at the very least. It never misses which means he should 100% get the kill with fan the hammer.
