i think we had 1 or possibly two tanks and one of them was roadhog. even if roadhog was to use his heals he wouldn't be alive long enough for mccree to charge his ult from given the other team was still alive to take him out. at one point mccree had almost back to back ult. i dodged one and then all of a sudden boom another high noon. i was lucio but i went around just to see what's going on. oh well. weekend is over boys. time to get back to regular progaming!

How the hell does that help with Pharah? And yeah I'd expect two characters to beat one.
Let me guess, you had a Roadhog. I get like 5 high noons per round with current McCree when there's a Roadhog in the enemy team. When I see a Roadhog, I instantly just start sniping his ass to gain ult charge. McCree's full damage range is longer than Roadhog's chain range and because he's so slow you can pop them headshots really easily against him.

It's so easy when you're playing Roadhog to forget that your tankiness comes at a real cost.
Had a game with a Hanzo who had 8 dragons in one quick play game. On console.

popping an ult on a dead body is best bm

But it builds my ultimate to take damage and heal myself!
(Actually, the more I've played with it, the more I'm convinced that self-healing building ultimate charge is detrimental to the way the games play.)

It's the best, just throw shurikens at his fat self from like sniper distance and get delicious sword mad quick.
Also, I like moonmoon, but I don't like his stream since I find Roadhog to be boring to spectate.

Eh it kinda just happens naturally. I don't intentionally go out to hurt myself.
You also know what's the best?
Hooking genji and unloading a shotgun to his dumb face when he's ulting.
The thing about roadhog being the ultimate ult builder is that he's also the ultimate ult stopper. Though he's topped by DVa for now, but he still counters ulting genji hard.

Moonmoon plays the heroes I play more often though.
Anyways, back to 46. Won like 4 games in a row, then had 3 games where people left. Sucks but it happens. I've started changing off supports when my team is clearly uncoordinated or doesn't want to listen. Pulled off a clutch KotH win by switching from Lucio to Junkrat on Nepal.

What's with these goddamn reinhardts not just going hulk smash the moment I boost them, like goddamn, I turn you into an unkillable rampaging killing machine and you put you motherfucking shield up still?

As Genji main, you have illustrated my reasons for not liking Roadhog.
Being Ana Ulted and swording and getting hooked is literally the worst.
Is there a way to counter roadhogg's hook besides staying out of its range? I don't like the fact his hook shot combo is a instant kill if not he just add a melee to ensure a final nail in the coffin.
I could sometimes escape/counter with skill but that's because the enemy roadhogg mess up his timing for the hook shot.

I'm buying a second copy of this next month so I can play with my partner at the same time.
I can't wait for us to roll in quick play as an organised duo. We're going to wipe the floor with everybody.

You can predict a hook and smash reflect but a good roadhog will bait that out.
Moon isnt a pro though, hes just fun to watch and actually 6 stacks. Seagull queues with shadder and pocket mercy to have low stakes games.Seagull>moonmoon

Had some pretty good games today. Feeling good. There was a great match at Lijiang which was really close, and we lost, but I enjoyed the heck out of it. In the final round their Torb had a really well placed turret which cut off our backup to the point before we noticed it, and that won them the game when they reclaimed the point in Overtime. Well played.
Seriously? People do that? Whenever I play Reinhardt and get a nano boost, I always charge in and swing away like a mad man.
Pretty dumb when you have 750hp, 100+ dmg hammer swing, 450 dmg charge for 8 secs.

Are you talking about as Genji or just overall? Overall, you're boned against a hook if you get got. As Genji, you just have to "feel" when they're going to hook, which is usually immediately. If you see them not hook in the first 2 seconds of your reflect, just cancel it by using your shift to get the hell out of there. If you do get hooked and have cooldowns up, just hold down "E" or even shift if you have it up and if he messes up, you get to escape as soon as the stun frame ends.

Maybe they don't know what nanoboost does, but it's real frustrating to see reinhardts doing jack when I nanoboost them.

This game was already great, but after this last patch it has been simply amazing. No more Torbjorn stacking on defense makes the game infinitely more interesting. I play on PS4 always with randoms, and it was very frustating at times. Don't really care about ranks, but the quality of the games is a bit better the higher the rank. Started at 43, went as low as 37, but now at 57-58 has been a lot of fun, despite the quitters/dumb people ruining a game now and then. Slowly climbing the rank has Genji, such an awesome character.

Just had an incredibly close win on dorado when we were defending in sudden death and one of our players had disconnected. We were about to lose it when i took out two people with a rup tire then our lucio hit his barrier which let us wipe out the enemy team and win. Closest match i've had in ranked yet.
How is it dumb? Nano boost gives you 50% Damage Increase, 50% Damage Reduction, and 30% Speed Boost. A nano boosted Reinhardt that is aggressive will at best get 2 to 4 eliminations and at worse have the other team retreating from the objective.
edit: Or am I just misreading things?
Yeah I've gravitated towards MoonMoon because he just seems to have more fun with his groups where everyone is laughing their ass off. Seagull is great at answering questions and doing cool stuff but the stream is so quiet. Ofc Moon is going for a more comedic stream so they should be different in tone, it's just not as fun for me.
I think that's what he was meaning. It's dumb not to go in swinging like a madman when boosted.
Yeah, after rereading the post, I figured as much.
Saying its pretty dumb to not charge in.

Like.
People really, really need to learn to not to rush A when it's lost.
Like, really need to. It's important.

Her weapon does have quite a reach and I killed a Pharah as a Symmetra in Volskaya several times with a Mercy helping me out.
I once got nano boosted as Symmetra with no one nearby or reachable with my close range beam. I was like "OK?"

yeah that would be good for lucio.
speaking of lucio. someone asked wheres our healer (i being lucio) can't survive and heal if everyone is spread out.
yeah but then once in a while you'll face someone who's willing to pick winston and stay on your ass constantly and the fun just stops

Managed a boost today that broke the final point, so that was cool. \o/
Was against a team with a really fucking annoying tracer too, so that was a good bonus. Whenever a tracer lose, an angel gains its wings.

Team will just ignore those the same way they ignore Mercy's audio cues.
If you time 2 energy balls right I guess you could. I play Sym the most and Pharah is my hardest counter. I usually switch to Zen now that he has 200hp. In my last ranked game I made a Pharah, who failed to spawn camp me, leave the lobby. Based Zen.
Even with the McCree buff, Pharah is crazy popular on the EU servers whilst good McCrees are rare. The complete opposite of the US server.
