My best kill was on a Bastion as a Mercy, dude was camping and I saw him fired my gun at him and I think he got startled, took a bunch of damage went into normal mode and ran straight towards me shooting as he got close I punched him for the kill and just laughed.

Symmetra Vishkar/Architech are worth because they make the turrets black. Camouflage is much better than the default white.

oh shit. Will strongly consider buying, then. That seems like a really poor decision, giving a competitive advantage to a skin. And yes, making it harder to see IS a competitive advantage. Same issue with the Okami Hanzo ult.
Aw snap. Now I understand why people use those skins.

And here I was wanting one of those skins because they made her look like she walked out of Deus Ex. Little did I know they changed the turrets.

D.Va's hand gun is beast, if you can land headshots at choke points people start dropping fast.
Yup, it's ridiculously powerful and shoots fast.
I can't be the only one that wishes that D.Va's mech had her hand gun instead of those worthless shotguns. I adore her side arm, while her main guns just feel awful to use.

From a 9 minute match, they just couldn't get near me. Sometimes you just have those games where it feels like 1 bullet kills anyone and sometimes where it feels like everyone is a bullet sponge, this was one of the former.
I think that feeling comes down to the enemy players connection to the server, I can point blank hit someone using roadhog and their HP bar doesn't budge, I either missed on their end or on the server.
or you can aim at someone with zarya left click and they melt in a second, it's so annoying and random.

Was looking through my time on fire on masteroverwatch and its 10 mins, 15 mins , 5 mins etc then i get to Lucio and its 2 hours in 5 hours game time 
I didn't even think i was that good with him.... or maybe i just suck with everyone else.

This shit drives me nuts. One game I can hook and one shot with left click and melee if needed
Then suddenly I'll hook a Lucio, Hanzo, whatever in the exact same way and either miss point blank or do barely any damage on a full shot
I don't get it
Come on man, any self-respecting Symm uses the Caution: Turrets spray.
The turrets are darker but I wouldn't exactly call it black. More of a washed out grey. Also, enemy turrets have a red outline like everything else.

It's crazy easy to get on fire as Lucio and Zenyatta.
I'm at like 1 hour on fire compared to 2 hours of play time as Zenyatta.
this happens to me as roadhog all the time. I just figured it's because I suck at aiming with his hook combo.
Level 52.... still no legendary skin for me
If you saved up your coins, you should have enough to buy 2 legendary skins by now.

Did you only get legendary money? I mean, you get one guaranteed legendary every 25 levels, so even if you only got money, you can buy one now

I don't get how y'all can play Symmetra.
I can't keep those turrets up at all, even when I hide them.

Doesn't matter much when enemy turrets are highlighted in red, doesn't it?

kk. I still consider it a small advantage, as it may slightly delay efficient targeting compared to something white standing out. even if only slightly.
I have seen those skins very few times so I don't have much experience with them to speak of, so maybe it's not even a slight advantage.
don't play her like a pussy. get in there, jump around and hold that left click down. she does stupid damage.
Do you spread them out? That's key

A level 2 turret has 300 hp. I usually place my turrets so that you can't reach them easily, and I'm often near the frontline myself. If a Zarya was to attack my turret, I'd be there attacking the Zarya too. I can see what you're saying though and how it would work.
Brutal.
The game should've given you eliminations for that savagery.
That's... amazing.
Even if they get destroyed they at least alert you to a reaper trying to sneak in for the ultimate. The turrets on their own won't likely kill much but they can contribute a lot when there's a big fight going down and they're easier to miss
Turret destroyed? Intruder detected, now go melt them with your beam.

Today was a good day, got a win streak, played with friends and random (they're great)
I hope community grows better and less toxic

I wish I could've tagged the enemies somehow, because it was super sad not seeing this as the play of the game.

Turrets build Symmetra's left click faster.

You'd think people would wise up to dvas self destruct already, but i still get regular triple kills. Still no 4 tho. T_T

I'm not very good at this game, but I have 23+ hours on Mercy and my buddies all say I am pretty good at it.
A few things I've learned from so much Mercy-time;
Don't be stingy with the resurrects. I've seen a lot of teams with a Mercy that won't rez anyone unless there are 3+ dead. Resurrecting a single team mate is not a waste. Don't be a douche like that.
That said, you have to be smart about it. "60 seconds remaining"? Time to stop rezzing singles and be ready to deal with a hail of ultimates coming out of both teams. Only worth it if you see your tank die straight away just before the incoming storm, and that's a maybe depending on the skill of that tank and the enemy team.
Situational awareness is key with any character. For Mercy it's critical with trying to smartly rez single-death people. Try not to rez people instantly out of reflex and check to make sure they aren't right in the middle of the enemy team, unless you are just desperate. Also, when multiple people are down don't feel like you HAVE to maximize the # of people you rez. It can cost you games putting yourself in a vulnerable area to rez 3 people instead of 2.
Mercy's ult can charge insanely fast with the right team comp. I find having a nice juicy Roadhog to heal is prime. He has no shields to prevent damage and has lots of health to fill. Zarya is my next favorite, she also takes loads of damage and can throw her shield on you. Getting that ultimate charged is a huge priority, especially when you rez someone every 30 seconds like I do. Reinhart isn't that great, his shield prevents him from taking constant damage and worse, in pub matches they usually spend most of their time blasting away from you with their jet pack.
Don't go chasing speedsters or anyone being dumb and running out of your range. Hang near the objective or your tank.
Speaking of speedsters, Tracer is your worst enemy. If they are any good just switch to Lucio, since that is the only way you are going to get any healing done at that point. Especially in pubs where your allies will just ignore her and let her kill you outside your spawn repeatedly.
Other characters to watch out for are Genji and Pharah. Snipers like Hanzo and Widowmaker I find are often less of a problem once you are aware of them, since you can just stand behind obstacles to heal. Just be quick and try to fly to an ally if you have to cross their line of fire.

Fucking amazing.
I once got 5 people, too bad the final person wasn't around.
...Really couldn't believe it since it's so easy to dodge.
No way. They contribute to her charge on her left click???
Holy crap, I didn't know that, this information alone will elevate my Symmetra like crazy.

i've lost count how many times I have hooked a mercy, shot her while holding LM and W yet she only takes 80 damage

Yea. I'm not sure how it works exactly, but any time I set up 4 or 5 at the spawn point of an attacking team and attack using my left-click with the turrets, I'm more or less instantly at a max damage beam and often get triple kills and have the teleporter ready to go in under 30 seconds.

I play as her a lot (107-52 with her), but I dont get much kills with her Ult. Just use it as a control device more than anything as it helps take control of point, along with basically giving you an extra life.

Daaaang!
Good stuff bud!
If we have a sniper I stick with Mercy as I can just fly to high ground and jump back in with replenished health.
To add to your single rez comments, a good Mercy will invest time into each teammate; not just tanks, and thus build a picture of who is doing work and who isn't (through kill assist messages). If I see multiple kill assists on Junkrat I'll immediately revive him and leave the Roadhog, who is doing jack, in his grave.
