When ur Lucio and u have the most objective kills in a map

I actually get that one a lot, tbh. Gotta hold that damn point!

 

[The Omega Man]

I played a round of random heroes earlier. It gave me Mei first. I jumped straight off the side of the map because any opportunity to kill a Mei is worth taking

Post of the day, you are the Hero we need

 

[Zaventem]

Doesn't jumping take you out of scoped view? I've been trying to get it, but I'm a terrible sniper in general and I don't like holding my team back more than I already am.

when you fire off the shot jump immediately.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Not saying it's impossible in the same way that a good Hanzo is practically an asset. People seem to have no problem complaining about Hanzo but Junkrat goes under the radar? Hanzo's toolset is 10x more useful on Payload

Depends on the map. King's row for example is really enclosed so you can grenade like crazy while delivering the payload.

 

[Zemm]

Don't worry, they won't. They tried to have a hero that could go invisible, but found it to be OP and couldn't find a way to balance it, so they scrapped the idea instead.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Why would you build your town around a death-hole anyway? No urban planning at all.

Town is in Greece. It's obviously built by Spartans to kick Persian messengers into.

 

[robertlebrone]

The problem is defending with that set up takes barely any team work and attacking against it takes a shit ton. The odds are so stacked against the attacking team unless they're all talking and it ends up meaning all the games are played the same way.

I'd like to see stats on the successful attacks in public games as opposed to defence. I imagine it's ridiculously skewed in favour of defence. I know in competition it's like 75 percent in the favour of attacking but that's with pre made teams who all talk to each other.

My experience on D in public games is completely opposite. We lose a good bit of the time because the majority don't understand the objective and instead of defending the point they go off and try to defend the enemy spawn.

 

[Apathy]

Why do people keep picking Junkrat on attack? omg pls stop

haha funny. maybe you have not played with a good junkrat. Junk on offense is amazing. As the offense has to run into whatever D is set up (tanks, turrets) an offensive Junk will deal with them with ease. 99% of my playtime has been with Junk on offense and defense, and I can tell you that the defense is so set up to be stationary that as junk I am pushing them back while giving my team the opportunity to get them as they turn.

I'm doing 18-21k damage in any given match, and while attacking that means Rein shields are shredded, D.Va's spend more time out of their mech rather than in it, it means bastions have to move more than they want and tobj turrets have to be constantly rebuilt.

Couple that with the fact that I play a very offensive oriented Junk regardless of what side I am at, I disrupt the opponents and harass them to no end.

 

[spiritfox]

|OT3| Do we still need to counter Bastion?

 

[Zemm]

If they don't address Widow soon I'll grow tired of this game way earlier than I expected, McCree might be more busted in a vacuum but current Widow is infinitely more oppressive. Utter fucking garbage design that should never have made it through testing.

Disappointed they felt the game needed a traditional sniper. Should have just kept it at Hanzo.

Watching the tournaments and it's kinda ridiculous how both teams set-up for pushes, where they all group up and then wait until their widow has made a pick before attacking. Basically each encounter comes down to a 1v1 with the snipers then the real fight happens, it's pretty dumb. Like I can see that being a strat that comes out now and then like in CS but every single encounter is like "did our widow get a pick? Yes, let's go" or "no, let's wait and regroup".

Yeah, as somebody who usually gravitates towards Symmetra on defense, I hate it when I see a Junkrat on the other team, because I'm sure he's going to be spamming his grenades and taking out all my carefully placed turrets. Junkrat on attack is no joke.

 

[kromeo]

Hope they improve potg so it isn't just a junkrat tyre or bastion firing in a straight line for 10 seconds every game

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Junk on offense is also one of the best ways to dislodge a Bastion or Torb.

 

[Braag]

Just played against a team which was abusing the Symmetra turrets in Dorado map. The little bridge before the final check point. They kept putting them against the right side wall but inside the bridge in some odd way so no matter how you tried to destroy them, you couldn't, just got beamed to death as soon as you entered that area. Not surprising we never managed to push the payload through that part and the Symmetra found it "lol xD" so funny.

 

[peakish]

High point of my career: Just finished a game with a gold in damage. As Mercy.

Is such a thing even possible? I guess it is.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I got potg as symmetra and pharrah just killing two people normally yesterday. No ults, just LMB.

Which kinda maybe speaks about how dire my teams in those games have been.

 

[The End]

Is such a thing even possible? I guess it is.

Getting PotG in brawl is always hilarious

Was Torb on Voskaya

Put turret on moving platform

other team running around like idiots trying to shoot it from the ground while I shotgun them in the back

Could be that. In the same way that seeing a Hanzo taking peoples heads off as they round every corner. Most people playing both characters aren't doing that hence the complaint.

That's getting fixed in the next patch.

 

[tw1164]

It does. Brawls don't record stats.

Good because random heroes can be fucking brutal.

It's not really difficult to spam grenades though. I'm surprised but not surprised people aren't able to even do that

 

[Antiwhippy]

Speaking of junk rats, funny to see some of the compositions people try in order to cheese certain maps. Had a volks defense where they went 3 junkrats, bastion, torb and mercy for revive, but then a couple of us just switched to pharrah and got through.

Gave us some trouble at B though, but eh.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Loving Zarya after one match.

Gravity the destination when the opposing team is desperate to stop you, catch everyone easy kills, and a play of the game. So hard to kill so fun to pop the shield and get healed. Love her.

Cause Pharah is Junks hard counter. Any more than 2 (even more than 1 in most cases) junk's is a bad idea, because again, most junks think the spam is good enough and have terrible aim if they actually have to aim.

 

[Kito]

I can't even be salty over Lucios pushing me off the map in Ilios. Too damn funny.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

My teams have been abysmal today.

Oh I know that she's his hard counter, I'm just guessing that the team is pretty used to pubs where nobody counter-picks.

Overwatch |OT3| McCree nerfed, only 20 more to go

 

[kromeo]

I live for pushing roadhogs off the map, hate them so much

 

[Moonkeis]

Can Lucio skate on Mei's Wall?

Yes you can

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I think what keeps me in this game is that even when I have some bad games I think I want to play more of a character I haven't much of in awhile. Played a lot of Mei this weekend and I think I want to try some Tracer this week.

This is very true. A good junk is beast at attack especially against turrets.

That's pretty much what I do when I'm in a bad game. It's not even worth wasting my time to play support if the rest of the team isn't trying. I use these rounds to just try out other characters I don't normally play.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Has anyone been playing Overwatch on both PC and console? I've been watching console videos on YouTube and it seems like the game is a lot slower paced and, honestly, easier to play. I may be picking up a PS4 Neo or Xbox Scorpio when they come out, and I'm debating picking up a console copy of Overwatch for a more lean-back, casual version of Overwatch when I'm not in the mood to play a super fast-paced shooter.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

High point of my career: Just finished a game with a gold in damage. As Mercy.

That feel when your damage dealers forget to deal damage and don't switch classes to improve their contribution. Feels real bad.

 

[Uthred]

When ur Lucio and u have the most objective kills in a map

Get that all the damn time, I am sick of getting the gold for being on the payload in both attack and defence. Defence is the worse, entire teams watching them push the payload uncontested.

 

[Hex]

Why do people keep picking Junkrat on attack? omg pls stop

Because he can wreck shit on attack better than some of the attack choices?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

It's rough. I just got gold for objective kills on payload again lol

I play on both. I have friends who were divided. It's exactly the same experience on PC and console to me.

 

[kromeo]

Can't remember the last time I survived using a justice rains from above D:
Keep making the mistake of trying to kill bastions with it..

 

[eek5]

When ur Lucio and u have the most objective kills in a map

This is actually really easy to do but I wouldn't read into it too much. Usually it means that you're playing the objective and your team is pretty good. The only time it gets concerning is when you have gold objective kills but also medal in damage. That means your team is playing like poop and you're doing work but you'll lose anyway lol

Can't remember the last time I survived using a justice rains from above D:

I only survive when I use it indoors. Your only chance outdoors is if you wipe the whole team and if they're all grouped up otherwise someone will just pick you out of the sky. Leaves you way too vulnerable.

I ran into that last night. Really cheap ass team using an exploit.

They're so easy to kill by just normal rockets that it isn't worth it.

Dead.

This is the story of my Pharah play as well. You know you are getting POTG if you hear the whole line.

 

[T-Rex.]

When you get voted player of the match 3 games in a row, feels good man

 

[Nokagi]

Man I wish random hero mode was permanent. I really enjoy it.

You can actually destroy them, you need to go above the bridge. They're hidden in a crevice up there.

The only really "exploitative" thing about the placement is that the wall is somehow bugged out and the turret beams shoot through the bridge.

 

[XenoRaven]

I'm starting to feel like I'm not very good at offensive heroes. It kinda bums me out because I like Pharah and Tracer, and I like the idea of Genji, but I'm not consistently effective with any of them.

The only heroes I really feel comfortable on are Zarya, Junkrat, Torb, Roadhog and Zen.
