If the enemy team has a Widowmaker you quit.
Yea she's good solo just a bit more tricky, since if you have another tank you can just put up a shield on them in the middle of a firefight and you got high energy already. Without another tank you have to time your shields better and hope you have someone who is in the firefight.
Stay far away, debuff the right people, heal the right people, avoid widowmaker's line of sight at all cost. Pop your ult up in the middle of the group so it heals everyone, ideal for a push or to sustain something big.
You can kill a lot of people with your orb of discord and your regular attack.

From what I've seen, basically be among a group, preferably behind a Reinhardt so you don't get one shotted all the time, and start shredding people with discord while maintaining your healing orbs. Transcendence to make a push.
Every time I've tried going as a 2nd tank the other tank either changes to a different hero or we lose our support hero.
9/10 pub games are a blast, but when it sucks it sucks big time.
this is the current zenyatta meta, yeah. It's a strong option for him.
You pick Lucio/Mercy instead, that's how you play him.

buff Zenyatta. robo monk who achieved nirvana is the best design ever
Not until widow gets nerfed. McCree nerf won't even affect Zen.

His healing is faster than Lucio's and is a far stronger attacker than Mercy (and Lucio too for that matter). He's strictly a supportive role best suited for Attack on Point/Attack on Payload. He definitely has a place in the roster, it's just that he isn't to be used interchangeably with a Mercy or a Lucio. Far too many people pick him as Mercy Lite or Lucio Lite, which he isn't.

Well I'm now on a streak of 3 days without a single win in solo quick play, pretty sure my win ratio must have dropped 20-30%. Playing Mercy/Lucio with random players is just miserable suffering, no matter how good you are or what you do they'll all just pick Tracer/McCree and run off in 5 different directions (none of which are the objective) to die.
As much as I enjoy watching Seagull, I get very envious when I see him use Mei. He has a full team working with him so he can actually have fun using her in situations that suit her. All I get is being left 1v6 on the point, hunted down by a Pharah/Reaper that pops their ult the second they see me (because they hate Mei) all game long, or yelled at by team's token useless Hanzo for picking Mei.
Maybe, but McCree isn't the hero that fucks Zen up. That's the snipers
Can I pick a Widowmaker and Hanzo?

Zen's still viable on console anyway
Is there any way to directly go offline on friends on Bnet without logging out of the program?
Need to do some testing and dont want to have:
(Redmoon has started/stopped playing Overwatch) spammed to everyone I have on friends playing.
Might have to make an alt and buy the game on it for this...lol

Yep, especially if there's a rein you can get behind he wrecks on console.
I meant he'd be played more to counter tanks since McCree might not fit that role anymore.

My best experiences with Zenyatta are either on defense/KOTH or with another person also playing support. He can rip through people with Orb of Discord plus his attack has a pretty decent range. And in defensive setups you can move around and hide and throw your healing orb to whoever needs it. But if the enemy team has already set up a good position they can just pick you off unless you have Reinhardt shielding or something like that.

terrible as roadhog and d.va.
Yeah it works. Did the same and tanked the tire with my face as a Roadhog. Still survived somehow.
He's also a lot slower than the other two because Mercy can fly to teammates, and thus his survivability is lower. I'm not saying he's bad, but the other 2 imo are just more valuable to a team, and it doesn't help that he's pretty tricky to play so a lot of Zens I go against/on my team are constantly dying, and barely putting up any healing. I think that'll change down the road though.
I rather have encountered that then the game I just played, my whole team would refuse to go past a gate because of turrets! One guy was even complaining about the turret spam. Seriously, they all held back and refused to go forward at all.
I find him good on defense when you have a torb and symmetra. He really needs the extra shields and armor from torb to be actually good, and then you make up for their lack of direct damage and their squishy bodies by using ulti to defend the point, but other then that, he's really hard and should really be picked as a damage character rather then a support.
play him with a mercy on your team when the other team goes tank heavy.
HE's not a healer, he's an attack support. Many team will use him and a mercy.

Zenyatta is like Symmetra, they're best played with a lucio on the team as well.
Offensive symmetra is awesome to have around becuase the teleporter keeps up pressure a bit better than mercy res on offense since it isn't obvious what's going on and it's a steady stream of full hp heroes, and symmetra can do some nasty close quarters damage.
Yea I know. He works better with another support. Except the majority of the time it's just a Zen on my team with no other support. So it's hard staying alive since I'm usually the tank on my team. "Why don't you just switch to support"? - because then we wouldn't have a tank. And if there's no other support then they shouldn't be picking Zen.

Hmm, I got play of the game and it said "shutdown" because I killed S;76 right when he ulted i assume
is that new?
is that new?
He's a utility healer, off healer as it were.
you press q let people get into your view and then press r2
when they get a red skull over them, the shot is lethal, but you can shoot them before the red skull and it will do a lot of damage
I find it so funny when people complain about Mei but I love to troll Mei as Tracer. I just shoot her and barely stay out of reach of her freeze ray while constantly messing with her. I gotta think that's annoying for a Mei player. I can't remember the last time I got frozen since doing that.
Yea this is what I've resorted to also.
