Oh definitely.
Zenyatta is always doing 3 things at the same time. He's healing, Debuffing, and damaging. So he's taking in up to 3 forms of Fire points at once. Mercy can only do one of these things at a time, so while she might get larger chunks, she's also likely to get spurts of nothing for longer periods.

god dammit lol.
It's easy for all healers and tanks to be on fire and remain on fire in a match that is going well for the team. It is harder for flanking characters who by nature stay away from the payload and away from the rest of the team.

Seems really easy for characters who can abuse environmental kills, or have abilities with 1HKOs to get on fire, though.
Like, Pharah and Lucio can knock people off maps super easy and get on fire because of it. Map permitting.
Roadhog is going to 1HKO anything he hooks with 200 or less HP. So that's usually a full 100 fire points. He can also use snap environmental kills on occasion.
McCree's flashbang with FtH gets can net him some solo kills for a full 100 fire pts.
So on and so forth.
Roadhog also builds a ton with his self heal. I'm on fire with him and Lucio the most by a longshot.

I played one genji game today and won so I dunno man, I don't think he's nerfed too badly based on this.

I don't think he's bad, I just think he's weak enough that you can't get that hard carry on in upper levels. Def gonna be better options for that.
But what about momentum? Lucio is definitely a prime candidate for an easy on fire character but it's not because he can push people off, it's because he stays on the point, heals everyone in range, and gets free kills just by tagging anyone who attacks the point while supporting his team. So once he gets on fire, he stays on fire. Even if he dies, unless the entire team is wiped, he's back into action quick and doing all of the above again, and stays on fire.
Pharah doesn't benefit the team by standing on the point or payload. She has to be out there in the sky flanking enemies or watching for their approach so she can strike from where they don't see her. All that is time being contributed to losing fire points while not gaining any until the action starts. She's actually one of the characters I consider hardest to stay on fire.
Same with Roadhog. He might easily get on fire by killing people, but he's also an easy target to get killed because he puts himself out there and is often the first to be killed if he's actually causing any damage. He's also slow, and for his hook to be effective he has to flank, which means going off point. Compare this with Reinhardt standing on the point blocking for his team. As long as he stays alive, he has to do very little that puts himself in harm's way to stay on fire.

I'm being facetious.
Shadowburn definitely looked like he wasn't the monster he could be.
Why aren't you playing Comp?

I find that if I can get one good ult with Pharah I can stay on fire for a fair amount of time as long as I can keep an ok stream of eliminations coming in.

all it does is highlight players for the enemy team to collectively target as a 'issue'.

Ehh, it's worth noting if you glance at the scoreboard.
If you're going to counterpick an enemy hero, maybe seeing who is on fire on the enemy team should play into the decision?
Man the final push chokepoint on the new map with the two side doors and one above the giant door that closes can be rough as hell if the payload is not moved out immediately as attackers. The right side is one big sniper tunnel, the left side is super tight. Otherwise really like that map but man that spot is tough if you have no momentum.

I somehow ran into 4 people who are widow mains.
On both sides.
That was the dumbest match I've ever played. The keep talking about wanting to 1v1.
It was fun hitting them in the head with icicles though.
Fucking sniper mains.

My first MVP was with Lucio. 84% on fire. So I agree.

So what's going on with the PS4 patch?
Nice!
Nothing really. It just kinda of gives yourself / everyone else an idea of who is contributing the most during a match.

yup, if you don't push it far enough past the door it is incredibly difficult to recover (imo)
