I hate you man.

Just keep putting up icewalls in your own spawn.
I've played against some troll meis, oh believe me. Still not as common as people made me believe. Probably because I take the Mei role most games.

Start with great double tank composition. 1 guy changes without saying anything, to a non-tank. Later the other tank changes to a non-tank without saying anything. GG.
It's literally a test of nerves to play with some people.

That sounds nice, actually. I wouldn't mind playing with players that are much more calmer (and sociable) than what I have to deal with. Is there anyway to switch servers, or are they tied to the Battle.Net account you created?
In the case for Zarya, it's usually some variant of the phrase "dumb, pink haired lesbo" and it follows up with either the following:
-"Reinheart is the better tank."
-"Her shields suck. Use Winston or Reinheart's shields."
-"D.Va is a lot cuter than that mountain of fe-muscle."
-"Why would anyone play as a bodybuilder? Let alone one with a dumb haircut?"
It's less frequent than when I play as Mei. But I hear players keep commenting/harassing me with the mentioned above, and it drives me bananas that we rarely, if ever, have a character like Zarya. I don't care if she doesn't have Widowmakers ass or Symmetra's thighs, let mentioning that Zarya looks like a lesbian (and I don't know why people make such narrow minded conclusions).
Yes, it's great that you like a character's assets, but don't go crying to me if we lost if you don't pull your weight or you go blaming everyone else for something they never did. Just let me play as the character that I want to play. She's frickin' awesome!
Ah, right. I keep forgetting about the emoticons that each character has. I can't remember when I had to use it, if ever. And I thought she's incredibly apologetic whenever she uses the "Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry! Sorry..." line?

I played a KOTH match where Mei would always block the door of the spawn at the beginning of the match/whenever she respawned. I quit that match because it was so dumb.

Mei is just annoying. I dont have a problem beating her, but she is probably the most obnoxious character in the game. She can slow you down and freeze you. She has the ability to heal herself with ice, that makes her invulnerable, and then once she is out she puts a wall in front of her.
The fact that she can stall an entire team on objective by herself until her team can return is my main problem with her.

It just sounded like you ran into a whole bunch of assholes.
Yeah I can't say I've ran into any of that.
Well she is a defensive player, she sets up defenses. There are hero's that easily counter all of her abilities, she isn't that strong.
Characters are all pretty easy to learn, there's only 12 maps, and you'll get paired with beginners while you learn the basics. It's nothing too complicated, you'll do fine as long as you have decent enemy awareness.

It curves up slightly to start and levels off into flat ice rink... until you hit the ice wall with a Bastion on top. Once you clear that hurdle, it is easy sailing forever afterwards.
Just remember that teamwork is key, and hero switching is part of the game, and you ought to be fine. More or less.
So I'm really bad at shooters, but I'm having a lot of fun here.
My aiming is really bad (especially since I'm on console) so I stick with support, mostly Lucio with a bit of Mercy. Though I really wanna use Winston since his weapon is auto-aim but I'm having a lot of issue on knowing what to do exactly to do to help my team. Any tips for him? I try to stick with my team and activating the barrier if necessary, but I don't feel like I'm contributing much outside that.
- Winston is actually the perfect tank for new players, as unlike for Reinhard, Winston is used when you need to be able to get into an enemy's backline and break them up for your team to move in.
- His Tesla Cannon causes continual damage in a cone in front of Winston, so long as the primary fire button is held down. And while his Barrier Projector is a lot weaker than Reinhardt's shield, it's still capable of absorbing a good amount of damage.
- Winston is squishier than he seems, so don't say in one place. Use his Jump Pack to constantly engage and disengage, retreating when you get low on Health. Memorize the location of large Health Packs, as this will help you get back to fighting more quickly.
- As for Primal Rage, only use it when you need to force an enemy team away from a position. Keep in mind that your health will be restored when PR is used, so try to delay "Going Ape" until you're low on health to maximize the amount of time you spend in the fight.
I don't know why, but this comes across as being hilariously passive-aggressive. "You're doing great, buuuuuut I'll never like you. I won't hate you, per say..."
It's every 2-3 games when I meet with the worst of the worst. Even when I leave to search for a new game, I just get the worst luck and get another bunch of dickholes that will ruin my mood.
He literally says in the post that he knows how to beat her.
The argument against Mei isn't that she's too strong. It's that she's not fun to fight. She's annoying.

Woudlnt say she is that strong necessarily, just super annoying. If the freeze heal didnt last so long, i dont think id have as big of an issue with her honestly.

She's become incredibly strong with the Widow nerf. A lot of people using hitscan characters like 76 and McCree seem to not shoot her while she's flying either. I don't get it.
I agree that it sucks large portions of the map aren't used, but I like Ilios overall. For me, Hanamura is my least favorite. It's just really cramped and I just don't have much fun on that map.

high dmg falloff on both
hardest counter right now is still widow since you basically need the 1 shot kill vs her to shut down the massive dps.

Hey no worries! Sorry for the invite spam. I was actually in a pretty salty mood that evening, so I'm glad you weren't on my team to witness it, haha.
Do you use a mic btw? I'll usually only use one if I'm trying to group with people, as sometimes it feels like I'm the only one talking amongst Japanese players...
Yes! Let the dragon consume me. All over my face.
I sometimes feel responsible when I'm tanking or healing on the point, we hold it for most of the match, and then I die and we immediately lose it. Kinda half bragging, but it's starting to happen frequently and I'm feeling more and more pressure to perform well in pubs =/
Good point. Big targets that are gonna make your barriers sing!
It's all good, everyone's got their own routine! I recommend at least taking the time to learn Lucio, who seems to work (or is at least appreciated) in almost any map/team comp. That way, I can practice with whoever I like and then if things are looking dire I can switch to him to save some face.
Currently learning Reinhardt for when D.Va or Zarya don't cut it. It's best to have at least one or two heroes from each class so you can adapt to a variety of situations. I really need to get some more defense heroes in my repertoire. A good Torb or Bastion can cause nightmares on defense, so those are probably worth picking up.

hanamura B is so fucking hard to cap unless you manage an initial bumrush right after A
if the defense gets set up fugettaboutit
Pharah is ignored almost entirely on console sometimes. The crappier aiming makes it a pain in the ass to look up and try to track her flying around directly above you. Her life expectancy outside of PC must be multiples of that version, where she's shot down near immediately, I'd guess. A Pharah and Mercy combo who know what they doing on console is absolute hell.

So from what I have been reading. D.Va will get a buff, and Phara and Torb will get a nerf. If you listen to feedback that is.
+D.Va
-Phara
-Torb
I really dont know if Phara is an issue to be honest though. I think people just dont shoot at her because theyre not that great.
Mcree is still pretty decent, and so is Widow. The problem before was that people playing them werent really skilled in the first place.

If they nerf Torb I hope it's to his ult and maybe his turret. If they lower the damage on his rivet gun he'd be less fun to play.

There's no reason to nerf Pharah. Her splash damage is very modest and she's countered by 3 heroes who are not particularly hard to use.
I'd like hero stacking to just not exist. Quickplay has already been descending into double Winston bullshit, and I'm already really tired of having to pick Roadhog.

I would say the detection rate for his turret is too high. Thing has auto-aim or something. Get behind it and you have to have a dance with the thing while it shoots you. Pretty much impossible to kill with Tracer unless you have grenade.
Phara is suppose to be a counter to it, and she also has to do a little dance with it while it shoots her.

Oh I fully agree, but it's become less lop-sided since it's harder to quickscope to stay mobile while fighting her.
As for 76/McCree, some damage is better than no damage. I just see too many people refusing to shoot her.
Yeah it's pretty easy to point and shoot at her while she's flying on PC. I imagine she's a lot more dominant on console due to analog aiming.
I agree she doesn't need a nerf she's perfectly fine the way she is I think. But you know who needs a nerf the most annoying character even worst the Mei....fucking Hanzo.

Yeah i cant speak for console. I have no issues with Phara on PC. People still tend to ignore her, but again i think thats a user problem, and not a problem with her.
Blizzard will do balance patches differently on PC and Console, so if she is a problem on console she may get adjusted on there.

I single handily stop the other team from moving the payload for 3 mins when they were murdering my team left and right and got no love at the end. Mei underrated.
