it's a lot easier to get a kill as a n00b w/ McCree. Flashbang = free kill. Your aim has to be super-bad to miss that gimmie.

As someone who's a shit Hanzo and Widow, I can attest that Mccree is one of my favorite hero's. And forget his flashbang and fan the hammer, his primary fire is a god damn beast, I swear, half the time I feel like all I need to do is fire in someones general direction and I'm getting free kills.

Good advice. I'm at this point too. Seems like the last couple of days there have been more people in my matches demanding others play certain heroes even when the person says they're not good or comfortable with them. I got an earful (so to speak) the other day when I switched off of healer on defense (we had another) and went to Soldier to keep a pesky Pharah honest. I just hid chat and we ended up winning. I won't say it was the game-changer and for all I know we won in spite of my change, but it seemed to work.
ive been playing hanzo alot recently, doing the jump + shooting. mccree gets me everytime on body shots (aim assist) lol. watching killcam, he just kept firing like a maniac and im an idiot to keep jumping for him to get easy body shots from aim assist lol.

What a complete mess of a match on Gibraltar I just had.
Start off on attack as McCree and the opposing team have set up with a rein on top of the building oppiste the payload, almost like they're guarding a Bastion...sans the Bastion.
So I just stand by the payload and push it all the way to the bottom of the underpass all by myself until I get taken out by a swiftly obtained Junkrat wheel.
And this match just never gets going beyond this with an Ana that's trying to snipe more than heal and teammates that aren't pulling together in any way shape of form.
We end the found with me sitiing on three golds for the most meagre achievments in objective time, kills and damage.
So next round I take Mercy figuring that we could use better healing, everyone scatters, I get a hanzo request of NEED HEALING as he's literally sprinting off towards the enemy spawn by himself a fair distance away from me and WHAT IS THIS MATCH?
I'm not even venting anger here, I found it hilarious how much of a clusterfuck it was.
Then following this I team up with some folks that stomp Anubis on attack within like 2 minutes, this game I tell ya, no consistency in match quality, get stomped, do the stomping, hard fought battles are a rarity by comparison.
edit: Make that two squashes in my favour, this ranking system just don't seem quite right...

I want this on the back of the game box.
He has Attack attached to him as opposed to Defence I guess.
the thing about ow, the first lv1-10 you get pair off with same level (1-10) people and they're usually not that great unless smurf. so after having a good time in the lowbie levels, once you reach 11+ you get put into prestige people that are definitely better then the 1-10 matchmakings. BAM reality check 10 levels later!

It's always weird when i watch the console versions and everyone is turning around so slowly.
I think it's actually easier to play projectile-based characters on consoles. Even though it's obviously more difficult to aim, enemy movement patterns are far more predictable on console. It's a lot easier to spam A and D to juke projectiles on a keyboard than it is to rapidly swivel the left analog stick from left to right. I think it's more common to see people running in straight lines on console Overwatch, and there's far less bunny hopping.
Misses aren't as detrimental. With a Hanzo and Widowmaker, every shot missed is a precious second or two in DPS lacking. McCree is expected and permitted to miss more shots than either of them.
Even top500 players say that they almost never see kb&m users and they are not a big problem.
I saw some guy on Reddit who said that "enemy McCree had highnoon every minute, he must be playing with mouse". I play McCree a lot and if enemy team has Roadhog or Rein, I almost always have ult. Even if you flashbang Rein and use FoH, you have like 40%.

Eh not really. Hanzo can drop a 250hp hero in one shot while mccree takes 3 shots at least.
There's a difference between getting picks and dps. Pick based characters are the ones who needs more leeway in how often they hit.
If Hanzo is expected to hit the 50% accuracy of mccree he would be insanely powerful.

When you're handily up 2-0 in KotH and then a member of your team leaves for no known reason and you limp to the end of a 3-2 loss where you know you'd have that shit won had things not happened that way, euuuurrrrrgh.
At least I got our 3-0 domination in another match afterwards, it's been a good day for Winston.

Was one win away from Master (3480), then got a draw (we started out amazing as well but just stuttered and then had to defend the first point in Numbani to even get a draw). Was about to turn it off anyway to enjoy the football, did so hoping i'd win the first match back. First match back, someone leaves shortly after a minute so the match isn't cancelled, by the time the 2nd round starts there's only one other guy left in my team :/ Then the good ole win then lose combo' lol.
Just for future reference, just because you have another healer doesn't mean it's a good idea to switch from a healer. Two healers can help each other survive, you stil get heals if one dies and it's also pretty difficult to keep the team healed by yourself. Would recomend you stay healer if you can but understand might not be possible under some conditions.
It was so hard to 180 though. The tracer kept getting my Ana.but then you'll notice players are less twitchy compare to pc!

Also you can just switch to ana to heal and deal with pesky pharahs all at the same time!

where did overwatch go wrong
May 24th, 2016.
Got some Ana gameplay I'd like to get critiqued on.

Was about a week ago, before I would trust reapers with a nanoboost.
Please ignore me trying to punch a Reinhardt in the tunnel in a 1v1.

Suddenly got ~200 ping and got kicked from the match after the first round. Now i can't log back in. It keeps saying "Game server connection failed... retrying". This is my internet speed.
Tried the obvious things, restarting router & PC and flushing the dns. Open for suggestions here.
EDIT: Issue seems to resolved itself, but i did lose that comp match. Man this sucks.

Video is private.
Speaking of ana gameplay though, this is how a sr 4554 ana plays...
https://youtu.be/cSBeIjZaa84#t=18m00s
I have been having issues with lag and connectivity since the Halloween patch. In weeks of trying stuff, I have found no solutions. I just pray and hope I can get a stable 100 ping these days.
Try again?
Ooh I'll check that out. I probably need to get a mic soon.
Edit: geez that bit where the ana ends up near their spawn and 1 v 1s a genji Winston and genji again is wow.
Just watching this guy coast his way through diamond and it's so infuriating lol.
He's playing with 2 gold players to ensure he gets matched up with low platinum even though he's mid diamond. If you watch him play, there's no way he's a diamond level player and he even constantly tells people to switch off players even when he isn't pulling his weight. In this video, he tells the Widow to switch even though his Junkrat was doing nothing.

I agree completely and that's why I went second healer, but this Pharah was pounding us and we didn't have anybody else with any range (and optimally a hitscan weapon) to get at her. We had two tanks but the DPSs were Junkrat and Mei or Reaper if I remember correctly.

Maybe a point-blank flare shot that turns the opposing player's screen white for 2 seconds? Give her a chance to escape when cornered?
man the last game i played, everyone was on their A-game
like every single person, on my team AND the enemy team. it was probably the most competitive game ive ever played
their mercy was good, their tracer was good, their rein was good etc etc
the enemy team's only problem was when their winston switched to Dva when i was already playing Zarya. who knows what would have happened if that guy hadn't picked her, but he was still doing great
why isnt the game always like this. just back-to-back coordinated fights with smart grouping and no trickle. and nobody dishonored this pristine, dignified, and evenly-fought match by picking fucking Ana. just good clean sportsmanship with no flame and no nanoboost. god bless

How bout we jus get Mercy outta the game? I tire of constantly having to kill her.
I'm jus
.
If I'm on McCree, I'm already worried about our flank and tryin to pick their other healer so we can push. Making sure there's no Pharah in the sky, and helping to burst down tanks.
Lulz, it's borderline exhausting.

Ouch that dps comp would do nothing to a decent Pharah.
Should also let your team know mercy used a flare but doubt it'd have any effect

I've probably killed waaaaaay more pharahs as mei than they have killed me.
I've played against some pretty bad pharahs though.
Still, a good mei should be able to three shot a pharah pretty regularly. 2 shot even.

That feeling when a D.Va is busy shooting someone as the time runs out on KotH, 3 inches off the point, and doesn't move onto it for the entire Overtime bar...

this strat is only as good as the peeps ur teamed with, and his team had the better Pharah + double heals at all times.
too bad nobody on the enemy team could run Zen.

Seriously? That's funny as hell.
Wait...isn't Ana her mom or some shit?
If so, that stings a bit more.
LOL! That's amazing. I've only heard the "I think justice needs a little nap."
Yesterday while playing as Pharah I killed 3 with my ult and Pharah said "Justice is served." I'm a Pharah main and I swear I've never heard this before.
They've added new voice clips semi-regularly.

You know, now that I play a lucio that plays hyper aggressive in a way, I kinda dread playing with lucios who are super passive. They never seem to have sound barrier up at the right times, and you really should be outputting a good amount of damage and elims as lucio to build your ult real quick.

I might if Lucio's gun didn't have completely shit accuracy.

I dunno, I'm getting pretty good at it. I think I'm just a projectiles person. Thing always goes to shit when I try to play a hitscan character.
idk what you want really
she spent her life trying to follow in her mothers footsteps and became her own ownage hero in the end and shes a huge reinhardt fangirl
she doesnt have any less "character development" than the next one
i think shes great tbh, i like that she ended up becoming more like reinhardt with big rocket powered armor and a big rocket weapon that causes a shit ton of destruction instead of picking up a precise weapon like her moms rifle
Yep, this is how I play Lucio and it makes me wonder why so many people find him boring. If you're aggressive and paying attention to what's going on around you, you can pick up a lot of damage and kills while keeping your team alive and speed boosted. I had a game last night where I went 40-11 with like 12k damage, 12k healing

I mean his gun is still pretty unsatisfying to shoot in comparison to most of the guns in the game.
I always let out a chortle when I boop someone off an edge though. I must sound like a raving loony on voicechat when I play KotH.
