Yes ofc, but if there are three Torb with turrets at the last point in a map like Volskaya you won't really find a clean and long LoS due to how the map is. Even if you do not get hit because someone else is being targeted (meaning 3 other teammates must be closer to them than you) you won't be able to stay out long enough to shoot one Turret out without dying..especially with Genji and Winston on your ass.

did the waifu part not make it clear it was a joke?
dat Hanzo ignore ;_;

also he gets insane armor so you don't even need to heal, just right click and watch the assists roll in

i didn't know if just that part was the joke cause the rest sounded potentially legit :/
For sure. I'm trash aiming and pretty terrible even on against console players. I've been rocking very forgiving characters (Pharah, Symmetra, Lucio and Mercy). The game is designed really well for multiple skill levels.

I use a Steam Controller on PC. It's perfect for Mercy, who I play 95% of the time.
I need to give that a shot, too. I had planned to use it initially, but had some issues, so I switched to my Xbox controller.

I'm still dialing it in myself. The game does not handle simultaneous gamepad/mouse inputs elegantly, so I'm trying to figure out the best solution.

Pharah gets shot out of the air like a fly with one wing if there's two turrets or more.
Atleast in my experience.
Not generally a big deal. He can take the turret, but he can't keep it down unlike the others. And given traditional turret placement, you usually have plenty of time to get out of the way of Hanzo's ult when he fires it, since you're generally not near the center of the action. He's good for clearing multi-turret nests, though.
Try Junkrat. I routinely do my best play with him, using the controller, on PC. He's not exactly about precision shooting anyway
Oh, and while I'm talking about Junks, I can't stand the number of Junkrat players I see playing him on defense that don't understand how to use him. You aren't supposed to be sneaking around flanking and hunting. You're supposed to be dead center, using bombs and mines and traps to move the platform/secure the zone. You are capable of holding off an entire team by yourself defensively once you learn how to do it well. You can break your foot off in nearly any single player's ass who gets in your face, and you can make entire passageways unliveable. Quit hiding, come out and seize your glory, fellow Junkrats!
Does Lucio's alt fire and/or Pharah's pulse mine thing push back the rip tire? I've been meaning to try it but when I hear one I always panic and wall run/fly away and leave my team to fend for themselves (unless I have Lucio's alt ready to go).
Might I make a suggestion for the ID spreadsheet in the OP? I think it would be good to have skill level included as well. I'd love to play with some Gaffers but I'm sure I'd just be holding a lot of teams back so it's be nice to group up with people around my skill level.

4 new maps and 2 new heroes 2 weeks after launch sounds legit? :/
clearly you havent faced the best Hanzo in EU
In my experience, Lucio cannot bush it back. Might be possible if you are super close, but at that point...
I know Lucio's can, but you'll prob still get blown up anyways. You should just be aiming to shoot it though, it only has 100hp so a lot of people can't just one shot it. I know you can roadhog hook it too.
I've done it before, but yea you just get blown up still.

I want to join the chorus of people saying everything is OP or weak AF.
Buff D.va, Blizzard. Don't think about it, just do it.
I don't think anything can push the tire. It's an unstoppable force.
Lucio's alt firedefinitely doesn't. I recall some guy complaining about that in-game once.
welp
I'd swear someone said it didn't.

It's funny but there are characters which I don't really have any affinity with, like Genji, Zarya and Winston.
I discovered how Zenyatta can lay death on its opponents. Holy shit in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, a Zenyatta can be a game changer.

I honestly don't know, I don't think I've ever seen the tire get knocked back but I do know Roadhog can hook it.
Yeah, Discord Orb is insanely strong. When I play Roadhog I quickly fear a good Zenyatta. I think Discord will be the reason they'll have to be super careful with buffing Zenyatta at some point, I could see him very easily becoming too strong with a small buff.
I may have totally imagined it, but I remember getting pissed that I managed to knock it back and still got blown up.
I hate Hanzo plenty as Junkrat. More than enough to make up for Torbjorn. I get a lot less lead time to escape the ult, and he snipes me a lot.

Unfortunately I don't think I've ever experienced this. The Zenyattas I get on my team are almost always awful.
The first time you play against a good Zenyatta it becomes very apparent very fast. Luckily it isn't very common.
Lucio's alt-fire can knock the tire back, but considering that his alt-fire doesn't do a ton of damage, odds are you'll still die. It doesn't get knocked back a ton. (If you're lucky, it's at low health thanks to teammates and then you can blow it up. That's happened to me before.)

Do we know what the patch that came out today did?
It isn't but man you know. You get hit with a discord and die maybe 2 seconds later. Never had one on my team though.
Came to ask this.
Nvm I just read the update notes on PS4 and they state
-Fixed connection bug when timing out on initial login
-Fixed an issue with voice-chat that could lead to users loosing voice communicatoons for the entirety of the game session
Sure why not?
I feel like all it takes to be a good Zenyatta is a good awareness of your team's needs (for L. Shift healing) and then really, just focusing on enemy locations + great aim. As soon as you see that red E pop up, you shoot that orb and wreak havoc with regular fire. Most people just don't know how to play him.

Are there details for this update anywhere?
There is a system in the Quick Play so that you play with players of a similar skill level. If you've just started playing this would be pretty inconsistent until you've played some more matches and it has a better idea of your skill level.
I could have sworn it does. Not saying it's as much as flinging people off the map on Ilios, but it's enough to make it stop briefly. Yeah, you're still going to die because the alt-fire won't deal 100 damage to the tire.

It's getting to the point where I just want to quit out every time I'm in a public game attacking. I'd say I win 1 out of 10. It's the same every time. A Bastion, Symmetra, and Toblerone(s). With a proper team it's easy but for randoms it's basically a guaranteed loss. Turrets need nerfing hard.
Nope happened to me as well. 0 EXP straight on to the defeat screen. Counterless people ITT have reported the it happened to them too. If it's the last 30 seconds don't throw someone in a game please, pisses me off.

I love them as mei! I like to throw my wall at their tires or jump in front of them and use the ice shield.

After carrying a team as Lucio I try to escape but matchmaking is like nah son
Why is a level 112 dude the worst player on the team-_-

The Zarya gravity well does, fyi. It's saved my team from a wipe. I'm only like 50/50 on actually killing it with the Zarya alt-fire.

Ok. So I see many comments about going up against premade groups. Maybe I'm not noticing something, but in PC is there a way to determine who is in a group and who isn't?
Turrets really are the ultimate PUG stopper. I bet my win/loss on defense or offense is pretty close to even though.
Why not just eat the tire with barrier.
Lucio's alt-fire actually doesn't effect the tire.
A good junkrat will just keep rolling on and not activate the explosion.
if you lose badly its against a MLG premade because there is no way pugs could be that good
the game matches teams vs teams. if you get a team, its because it was like a 5 on 5 situation and you also have a team
