Overwatch |OT4| You Want A Good Genji, But You Need The Bad Hanzo

So who do you take instead of junkrat for area denial or indirect damage into a point? I think a good junkrat is still extremely effective, especially at killing squishy characters very quickly while not being in harms way himself.
As a guy who primarily plays Lucio, I can tell you I die more to Junkrat than just about anyone else, especially in competitive and koth/ defense maps.

It works if the Tracer is good and waits for the shield first.
Playing Overwatch with the controller feels different, I actually started playing on the PS4 before converting to PC.

god playing as zarya is so good. junkrat? tracer? feed me your ults. they mean NOTHING to me
Just played a Control match in competitive as Zarya, with a Junkrat on the enemy team. I swear I barried into his ult. at least three times, like, "Hey, thanks, buddy! 50 free charge is always appreciated!" You would have thought he'd learn and pick another target, but I guess he hoped my barrier was on cooldown.

I wish i could play more hanamura.
I love that map.
I love that map.
Yeah I own Overwatch on ps4/PC. but majority of my time is on PC by far. I'm L40 on PC. Probably only like L12 or something on ps4.
I do like console shooters but yeah I really do enjoy OW on PC. Plus all my friends on PC mostly.
I enjoy all the maps now. Used to hate Anubis but now I dig. just had to find the right heroes to use on it (for me)

So I think my game on XBO keeps glitching on the loot box screen?
I try to load it up then I just see the dark gray animated background with options to open the crate, go to the store or go back, but none of those work. Only Y to invite friends works, and even then there's no way for me to get back to the main menu. Had to close out of the game entirely in order to get it to work again, and even then I cant go to the loot box screen. (I literally just got the game yesterday so apologies if this is a known issue)

Ugh can't wait for the removal of hero stacking and the Torb nerf. So annoying to have to deal with multiple Torbs especially when combined with Symmettra and Bastion. It's doable, but that shit is not fun at all.

Finally gets to 100. Discovers it's really 101 to promote.
Sigh.

It's storming pretty bad here. My internet usually do rock solid no matter what. My power is similar.
I haven't played competitive in like at least a week so I fire it up. We kick ass for two rounds until they switch heroes. Nobody on my team counter picks and we lose the next one. Still, nobody changes. Just keeping on with the two Pharah's getting snuffed it by their 76 counter picks. But whatever, we're doing decently with my switch to Zarya.
And a massive thunder boom later, I lose internet. I became the thing I hate the most, a leaver.

Pharah is pretty close I'd say

All these Zenyatta Buff impressions.
My boys time has come.
Also plz dont nerf Genji he already gets countered by most heroes. I mean on ps4 i counter his Ult with a Trance saving my team as well come on.
I wouldn't expect all the buffs to stick. He sounds to powerful right now.
Pharah?
A mildly competent junkrat can generally win the fight.
Roadhog chain will win if you shoot them while they're walking towards you
And last
F Meis. There's like nothing you can do on a Mei, she requires way too much to hold a chance.

Hanzo Dragon followed by D. Va's Ult is so good. Just did it twice in a match and it won us the round both times.
The real character that should get nerfed on Consoles is Pharrah imo, Torbjorn is pretty easy to beat (although my Torbjorn is 2 stronk) just a lot of stupid people on consoles
Widowmakers and Hanzos arent good enough to get her, only character that can do well against her right now is Soldier 76, which still doesnt help because people cant aim vertically

Both teams moved the payload to the end with no problem, we got defense in sudden death and thought we were done for. Their double Reapers were creaming us (which is why you must excuse my 76 play. He was the only one who seemed effective even though I hardly use him.). All credit to my teammates those Junkrats were incredible. The other team hero swapping to keep OT going was impressive. Once they finally broke through I thought they'd win for sure. OT lasted about 4 minutes.

Yeah Pharah is very strong on consoles but Zen and McCree buffs should bring her down even on consoles.

I need Ana released on the regular servers already. Playing her in PTR is so good. I live for the moments I pop someone asleep, make some tea, then shoot/punch/grenade combo them to death.
Mapping jump to L2 on D.Va is one of the best things you can do with her. Some players simply don't know what to do with a D.Va that's jumping and shooting you like a rabbit on speed and I somehow survived enough to deliver a payload even though I was literally in the crossfire of the enemy, including a torb with his turret set up. I can't believe how well it works.
Once the D.Va update hits, shits gonna be like the monty python movie

As a Pharah, I hate Zenyatta with a passion and I hate Blizz for buffing him.
DELETE ZENYATTA BLIZZ, DO IT
Which one do you have? I started playing Mei 2-ish weeks ago and she's not one of my favorites, she's damn fun, especially since she can fuck with people so badly.
Like 4 different ones, one purple, for a character that I never play, hate, and think is the worst thing about the game.
That's how it was for me and Bastion. The game gives me all his highlights, 6 costumes, his emotes, his victory poses and a shit ton of his sprays...and I never use the robot bastard. I don't even need his other skins since Overgrown is my clear favorite look for him.
But have you ever felt the sweetness of someone bitching about you in chat and then just saying, "Mei is Bea"? It's the best thing ever.
Anything that can outrange him or burst him. If you mean somebody that can stop him from murdering them at close range, only option is something like Genji.
Wouldn't call any of that a hard counter though. Don't feel like there are even that many hard counters in this game though.

How do you pick Symmetra and forget to shield your teammates? I shouldn't have to ask for it with a minute left in the round.
Some people can't even do the simplest things.
At least we won 😑

But Mei is Bae.
I do it at the start.. but forget to re up people especially when there is a lot going on.
I just started playing on PC a week ago and it's definitely a different experience. I'm horrible at aiming with the controller especially sniping.

dont play mei vs reaper lol
he will murder you in 1v1s and negates almost all of mei's kit with shift.
?
Unless you get a jump on her and headshot her multiple times at point blank, she'll freeze you with a tiny bit of health left and then kill you.
I know people say Reaper>Mei but generally I feel like that only happens due to bad meis, not good reapers.

Reaper will force you to cryo before you can even freeze him, or you die.
You don't have to headshot her "multiple times"
