Somehow got to 60. Now I'll have enough for a gold axe by the end of the season. 
She will have grey hair by the time she reaches level 200.

the shimada bros should be in their own playlist tbh where it is just them and no other characters, thanks
that was the worst Weekly Brawl ever.
AHAHAH YES
I just had the most MAGNIFICENT match with Genji. Play of the game, new high rank, the most satisfying Mei kills. First I got my first entire team wipe by Dragonbladeing with Zarya and cutting everyone open. Then, when the entire team respawned, Mei tried to make a team zerg rush with her ult.....BUT I WAS READY WITH MY REFLECT!!! They froze THEMSELVES and we got another team kill! TWICE, because they had the gale to try it again (though we only had a team kill on the first try)!!! I'd have been happy to reflect anyone's ult, but that it was fucking Mei that I was turning her weapon against made it all the better. The match was close too, we both scored 2 points and they we only took the objective when they were at 99%, I was worried we wouldn't be able to turn it around...and I think if I hadn't reflected that ult, we may not have, because they were good...but I did.
I was grinning ear to ear. It was so good. So, so good.

I'll be happy if I reach 50 one day, single competitive is almost as bad as single quick play.
Still way too common in my games

Nah, I've had more fun in quick play lately. Comp. mode people are too srs 4 me m8. But I think this game's best days are behind it.

Once I got to around the mid-50s, competitive got way less frustrating.
Prob should specify if you mean QP/Comp (and rank along with that)
not like I can even do comp lol, gotta rush Super Mario Galaxy before NMS X_X
I'll add Mei to this list as well. Freeze ray goes through deflect forcing him to usually waste his dash to retreat, and if not then you severely hamper his mobility. If he gets frozen solid, he's dead. You can also bait out deflect by briefly pausing your freeze ray and pretending to load an ice shard. Her ultimate works well to defensively protect your team from his attempts to use his own ultimate while your team is distracted dealing with a push after he's already wasted his dash charging in.
Genji has a very high skill ceiling and can be quite the effective hero. But he also has many counters that take a lot less effort to perform well than he does and of course suffers from the deletion of projectile hitboxes like so many other heroes.
Did they ever fix the voice for that?
No due to lack of Hanzos.
Nevermore for Reaper or Carbon Fiber for Genji I'd assume. Probably Nevermore, everyone uses that if they have it, who can blame them.

Gundam Pharah, in my experience.
Every Reaper I see is in El Blancho, default, or the white
Man I am so bad as Genji. I completely respect good Genji players now. That shit is hard.
I am always mistiming everything or just completely forgetting I can deflect or dash. It's just embarrassing.
My K/D ratio is probably 1.2 or something awful. And I'm so bad with Dragonblade as well. I just can't close the distance between people and get killed after I get a couple hits in.
Might play a bit of Reaper later on just so I can feel better about myself.

I hope so, the only issue I have is actually getting there, maybe I need to be less serious...

TFW you open a Junkrat highlight intro and get POTG the very next match.

Yes, we won the game. And we held that point.

when you trying to goof around with mccree but have to pull out Mei instead.
held the corner before the last point amazingly well considering how fast it was moving through the match on dorado.

Pharah's anubis is pretty prolific.
On the opposite end, I've never seen anyone else using Ana's wadjet. Makes me feel special.

I atarted playing again yesterday after not playing for about a month. I started playing as Ana to give her a try, and haven't played anyone else since, even though I normally mix it up. She might be my favourite character now. She's a great healer, but is also pretty competent in a fight.
I find myself not really playing her like a sniper though; I'm usually on or at least very close to the front lines, and don't use the scope. Since she has a pretty good rate of fire, you can afford to go wild a bit. It also means you can use the bio grenade effectively. It works pretty well for me, as I can usually get a lot of healing/damage in before I die.
It seems like Ana will have a hard time getting PotG due to not being able to rez or mass heal, and that though she can rack up a ton of assists, she won't get many outright kills. But I feel like she contributes a lot to a game if used right.
I also like how unlike Mercy, it's not immediately obvious that you're healing somebody, and even if the enemy does realise it, there isn't a bright yellow line leading straight to you, so the enemy won't make a beeline for you right away.
Oh, and her sleep dart is brilliant for insta-shutting down the ultras of Pharah, Roadhog, Bastion, McCree, and Reaper.

So you're using her correctly, then
I'm like on 8 game win streak. Feels like a lot of the troll pickers and I just want to play QP in comp people are not playing that much anymore.
Hopefully it continues..

I feel like they should have modeled ana's gun like widow's, except that instead of transforming from assault to sniper, it transforms from shotgun to sniper.
That's pretty much how it works anyway.

I was hoping to get from 62 up to 65 by the end of the season, but with the last few teams I've had, I'm wondering if I should just stop now to at least keep above 60 lol.
