all of that is wrong.
the real reason to play hanzo - nipple play
I don't get why he suddenly turns like he's a dog that just spotted a squirrel.

Right, I forgot.
Nipple play isn't cool at all, it's hot hot HOT.
Either way, watching higher rank/level players and then I look at the team compositions in my level range, and I see Widows/Hanzos (oftentimes both or doubles) on attack fairly regularly. I had like 5 consecutive games today where I always had double Genjis, too.
But he turns in the opposite direction...?
You would too if you had a cyborg ninja out to murder you

That reminds me. Played a couple matches on console today and I couldn't find any option to mute people besides going to their profile and muting them.
Anyone know if there is any quick mute option on console?

Attack sniper is very feast or famine. If you get a quick pick, your team is at a HUGE advantage. But if you miss your shots, you're making your team play 5v6. Even the best teams in the world don't often run attack sniper.

and yeah, people are still terrified of dying in this game. If you dying does something positive, like distracting people long enough for your team to take them out, or to contest an objective that's about to be up, just do it tbh. take one for the team... literally
Do you not just have mic chat disabled by default? It's in either the Sound or Gameplay settings.
Yeah, harmony orb is underrated. A competent Zen can consistently get kills; your team won't need as much healing, if the enemy is always down 1.

The most noble of sacrifices is playing mei and trying to fend off the enemy team during overtime while your team is respawning. Ice wall and block can buy you at least 7-10 seconds if you get your wall placed right.
I was thinking, "Pffft. You're not that great." Annnddddd... Your rank is a number not a percentage. #123

You wouldn't believe how many times I've literally just ran past the entire enemy team to slap myself onto a point and get the game into overtime. I did it as Mercy, Lucio, Zenyatta, Zero Suit D.Va, Zarya, you name it. And I've done it so often I've actually become really good at juking around like a slinky on crack. It usually takes no less than 3-5 people to take me out if I really want to occupy the point, and I usually am able to at least kill one of them too.
Sadly whenever I do, nobody follows up, despite me distracting half to the entire fucking team lmao.

I had a game like that the other day, it was on Hanamura and we were attacking point A. They had a Reinhardt, a Torb, a Genji, a Bastion and something else, and they had absolutely locked down the big gate opposite that little room with the health pack. My team would just run straight up to that gate and then skirmish for the next 30 seconds until they died, then try it all over again.
A total of three times, as DVa, I signalled the "group up with me" emote and then flew my way to the objective, and every time the entire enemy team followed me onto the point but the rest of my team would just stand at the big gate, taking potshots at them from there until I was dead and the enemy team would come back to block them off again. Three times.

I had a somewhat similar situation on that part of the map. I was able to graviton surge 3 guys and we took them out. So I was thinking we would push the point and cap it. Nope. The one Rein, he was by himself, killed me(I was at very low health and was caught off guard) then single handedly held all 5 of my teammates. By himself. At least we still won. But that was annoying.
I'm actually not sure how that's similar to your situation, but you get the point

If you saw my team, you would know. I would watch as my team would constantly ignore the Rein while he killed us. There's only so much I can do as Zarya against one Rein lol.5vs1 and the Reinhardt wins... How does that even happen?
It was kind of amusing that they couldn't kill him. Although I would've been pissed if we lost because of a single Rein.
I'm sure he had teammates helping him a bit, but it was mostly the Rein doing the work.
Look, this is an important question that's going to determine a lot about the future of overwatch. I need to know. What is he looking over at?
On the initial push on Anubis attack my team just wrecked the other team, like easily and as soon as we wiped them and are about to finish the first cap, someone on the other team leaves and ends the match. We get no points. That's some bullshit.
Again, 3 strike per season policy, and if someone leaves the winning team just gets the points, it's so annoying

It was kind of odd of Blizzard to show Ana on an elevated platform in the gameplay trailer like she climbed up there, then to find out she has no means of verticality.

Hmm... I just can't think where she fits in. Bad healer, worse sniper. Her kit is awesome but not good for survivability at all.
Some kind of smoke bomb or camouflage would be cool.
Vault Dweller 111

Maybe... Is it because so few people have played her yet? Every time someone picks her in competitive I get a sinking feeling. And so far that feeling has been backed up.
She has her moments, but in the minute to minute gameplay she is fucking useless.
Okay, I bitch about my bad experiences...it's only fair that I praise the good ones.
I had two games in Comp and they were...good. I feel we overpowered the enemy team by a tad in both of them, but it was still a hard fought match that was exciting and we all did pretty good.
I can't seem to use Genji's ult effectively. I get that he is a beast if used correctly, but I feel like the enemy team just shuts me down more often than not when I have my sword out. Not complaining about that per se, because that should happen, but I look forward to the day I can just flat out Raiden a team.
Comp is the serious mode where people want to win, and that is not something I'm always up for. Most of the time I just want a casual, but competently played match. But sometimes you do want to go all in, and today I enjoyed the two matches I played. Now I'm one match away from a real ranking, and....well, I doubt it's gonna be good, but we'll see.

People think she's a sniper
she's mccree who can happen to scope
She plays really similar to Zenyatta in ways

Ana greatly benefits from being on a team on the same page that isn't half flankers

Mcree and Zenyatta have great DPS. Zen heals better and without even having to think about it. AND his health regenerates. Honestly I can't think of situation where I would rather have Ana than Zen.
In the future I see:
"This Anubis point B is proving tough, I'm gonna switch to Ana so I can nano boost our tank to break their defense."
As her biggest (only?) use.

Ana seems fine to me. She's a great support character. I think she counters Pharah easier than Widow due to how fast scope/unscope is with her. Plus sleep dart is incredibly good against tanks considering how beefy they are. Her grenade is a great anti-Mercy/Lucio too which really shakes things up.
Plus her ult is really good too.

Her biotic grenade wrecks zen's ult.
Zen's healing is also mediocre compared to Ana. We're talking 30hps vs 75 hps. Not to mention the 100% heal bonus biotic grenade gives. He can't sustain a tank as well as ana.

A tank with a harmony orb and a zen by its side helping attack enemies (that all have a discord orb on them) is much better than an Ana attempting to hit them from the back lines while providing no offensive help.
I hope im the one who is wrong though because I love what she brings to the table in theory.
Antiwhippy

Maybe because ana should be focused on support? Why are you comparing them based on dps potential?
From my pov they're secondary supports with different roles. Anna keeps the team alive longer while zen is meant to assist in dps.

When I saw a random use Ana in Comp I knew I was in trouble. This is the PS4 after all.

I'll have you know I have a 100% win rate with Ana in competitive.
With two games
Im irritated to no end that some people are picking her in competitive so soon. She came out yesterday, theres a very slim chance youre going to help at all.

the best thing a reaper can do is teleport out in the open. i just scoped and pointed it at his head and then when he solidified. BOOM. lol
eventually they decided to pick a widow and i was caught off guard because i stood there and they got me after a second shot

I can't take this shit.. Carrying a team 3 fucking times and being surrounded by morons 3 times.. Lossing 3 straight and back down to 44..
For reference.
Game 1: Tracer/Dva : Elims 45 Obj Kills 25
Game 2: Zenyatta/Junkrat Elims 49 Obj Kills 20, Healing 9k(1 round as zen)
Game 3: Tracer: elims 48 obj kills 20 damage 13k
Its always 1 asshole playing Ana or Hanzo.. You beg them to not do it, but they still do.
KAAAAHHHHNNNN
