I almost never go into games with double healers even in competitive. It's always 3 DPS, 2 tanks and a healer. I'd include Junkrat/Mei as "DPS". It doesnt do too badly because I feel like an extra DPS in console is okay because being a healer in a DPS-centric meta is terrifying and sometimes puts you at a disadvantage. That's why I feel like Zenyatta is just a must pick as he acts as DPS and healing.

Team without (good) support in Competitive = RIP.
Zenyatta can easily have a golden in damage and elimination because of how powerful discord is.
I think of mei as a mini tank.
I need people to learn that Zenyatta can only heal one person at a time (except for ult).
It's also the reason why a solo healer Zen doesn't work. I had my orb on an almost dead Reinhardt, who was projected by his shield, and I got 3 others screaming for healing in the meantime.

Wait. Are you serious about the payload being capable of healing you and your team?
A mini tank with a nice butt.
I think most people don't understand what a Discord orb does either. I'll place one on an enemy that my team is targeting and they'll magically stop shooting them or something. It's usually down to me as Zen to get the most kills and keep the team alive.
I think people think the Harmony orb makes them invincible too. I've placed them on teammates who are at about 1/4 health and they'll fling themselves into enemy fire and die.
Watching Soldiers unable to melt opponents who have discord orbs on them is blood boiling.
Yeah, as Mercy and Zen now, if they wanna fly off and do behind enemy lines stuff, I'm not going to risk my life or the teammates who are grouped to go heal them. I just put "Understood".

Only on attack, just to clarify. 10 health per second.
Yeah! It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing.
ha, I should try using the understood command when flankers do that.

Now with the sitting emotes, I love doing them during the team deathmatch phase while you wait for new players. It's pretty cool because you'll see the other team doing the same usually.
And then i get up, discord and kill them.

That isn't necessarily true is it? It could mean you assisted in majority of your teams kills..
If you gold medaled in say damage than yeah it'd be a different story.
The funny thing about overwatch is you can be an average player but as long as you play as a team and have situational awareness you'll do more than fine. The problem is people who play the game like call of duty and think their k/d is what's most important. Unfortunately in comp on ps4 there are a ton of those
Dont be obligated to go healer. Especially if the enemy team have 1 or no healer too.

I often get bronze elims as Lucio, normally just from getting a single hit in there somewhere. Under no illusions that I'm some sick Lucio player. Just spamming shoot whenever I can.

According to Overbuff i'm the 213th best Mei on PS4, and top 700 D.Va.
Still haven't got Diamond rank.

I got 67 elims last night with Pharah. Felt good bruh.
Got 50 wins. I'm top 700 on overbuff (yeah not reliable)in the world so unless 500 of those 700 are in EU I should have it if it's active 😞

You know, it's taken awhile, but I've learnt to love the boot as zenyetta, and now my elims have gone way up. Especially against goddamn tracers, genjis and reapers who are coming for my omnic ass.
Believe in the boot.

It's the same secret as getting all the other trophies.
Have a zarya.
I've got it.
Have a zarya.
I've got it.
I know, I haven't got it aswell.
Maybe try to discord the enemies Genji is going after when he's ulting. Or Soldier 76, but you gotta have a S76 who will shoot at your discord orbs, otherwise you have no clue which one to discord.
Or Zarya, yea
I've been trying out different characters just for the trophies (also to try to better understand their strengths and weaknesses). Zenyatta's seems like the hardest by far.
Surprisingly, despite seeing it a lot, I've got neither of McCree's trophies. No one seems to ult when I'm around, and every time I line up 4 kills with his ult, someone comes up from behind and shoots me.

I can never get High Noon to work for me, ever, so that trophy continues to elude me.
At around 74% trophies right now I did consider if i'd actually be able to get the Plat but the Symmetra trio (her own teleport one, the destroying her teleports one and lastly Winston's minesweeper) just seem like a right pain in the arse relying heavily on chance.
Also I can't wallride with Lucio for shit so floor is lava routine ain't happening.
I finally got it last week thanks to a Graviton Surge, I think D-Va being in there managed to contribute twice to the tally with both her mech and self getting destroyed.

Nice, I'll have to just pick Zenyatta any time someone chooses Zarya. I'm sure the Zarya will love having a pocket healer as I follow them around.
I got both the McCree's ones, the canceling ult one is pretty easy and you'll get it soon enough. You don't need to worry about that one. I got it the first time I played McCree. The 4 kills with his ult should be one that will come when you not really trying anymore. I got mine on Volskaya defense. I was killed and we were losing point A, but I was back just in time to ult on them from the platform on the right. Lost the point, but got my trophy.
I, on the other hand, struggle a lot with Genji's trophies. He is the first on the hero list, so I picked him the most while trying for the trophies and I haven't got any of them.

I've had trouble with Genji's, as well. I haven't played much with him, so that doesn't help. I'm pretty sure just sticking with a character until you get it is the way to do trophies. It's definitely how the majority of mine very early on.
To date, the only time I've ever gotten a quad-kill with D.Va's ult has been in competitive. Once last season in a shitshow of a game. And then yesterday with a clutch Zarya ult by Payoff. I think we got 5 on that one.
I have to check, but I don't think I've gotten the Mercy one where you have to top off 5 separate players in one life. She's just such a target for flankers and goes down quicker than she can be saved.
I never played Mercy except for maybe 2/3 times and I was afraid that was going to be a tough trophy aswell, but I saw almost 50% of the PSN players had it, so I stopped worrying

I usually play genji on comp, so black holes are almost never a problem for me, this is just a general observation I've had. And I think my reasons are valid.
You can outplay almost every other offensive ult in the game using your skill, but not with zarya ult.
They should make the black hole have less visual clutter so you can actually see and aim while in it, it should have a delay to it so that heroes without mobility can predict it, and zarya in turn outplay their predictions as well etc.
Not really, most of the time you can beat the enemy ULTs by pure skill. That means either killing the enemy before he gets damage done or by breaking LOS or just moving away. You can kill a genji, you can kill a reaper, you can kill a pharah, you can kill a mcree while they are ulting without having to resort to ultimates.
With a good black hole those skills don't matter. Just the sheer visual clutter of the black hole effect makes it so hard to see opponents and you better pray that your support has his ult or you're dead.

I just don't play her enough. I also feel that I'm not good with her.
We had a Mercy main yesterday that literally saved the game with a single rez. Overtime, whole team dies on the point, she rezzes, jumps into the fray, we take it and march the rest of the way down.
There was some back and forth after that made sure we got a W and not a Draw, but that one rez was the reason it was possible. It should've been an L.
Props to the Mercy players out there who aren't just healbots for their duo partner!
EDIT: Speaking of, Kor's wife is a damn good healer.

genji should not be able to deflect deadeye
Why? I think it's pretty nice.

Theoratically you should be matched with people at your skill so why not.
There are level 200s out there that still don't know something as simple as "don't rush out in a 1 v 6 battle.

It shouldn't be that easy to use someone's ult against them
I agree that reflecting ults is a step to far.
You should hear how critical she gets when someone else picks Lucio first.
how long you playing? i took today off so i might be on later
