Its a pretty bad ult. I think only junkrats is worse so don't feel bad if you don't get many kills with it unless with a blizzard/grav/earth shatter.I'm trying to improve with McCree because tracer and pharah are so fucking annoying on console. I feel like I'm doing bad, my stats say that I'm an OK/meh McCree... except I can't kill anyone with dead eye at all. I get that some I do with terrible positioning, but I see so many McCree's get away with it! My acc stats are probably super inflated from killing tanks/barrier spamming is my guess.
This is me trying to kill anyone with dead eye: https://youtu.be/0Ae6B7C05Nk?t=1m7s

my console mccree qp
most of my time i use deadeye as a zoning ult instead. if you do want kills the only way is to sneak behind enmy when they push payload.
I played a backfill game last night where I singlehandedly won both Volskaya points off of flanking Barrage triple kills w/ her.
might as well post my pc mccree qp
most of the time im vs'ing low gold to low plat range. since i mostly play with my friend.
pretty outdated tho, since i havent play pc much since last year
Since about an hour ago. They announced this last year, though.
RIP Battle.net, 1996-2017
Ah thanks, didn't know. I liked Bnet better ;(
Their Blizzard logo is in dire need of an update though
It'll always be battle.net to me (or as long as my desktop icon still says it)

Guess there's no way to only get QP games with no spectators? had a series of games where a spectator was feeding locations to the enemy team. Very frustrating.
I'm assuming the new support SR bug is seriously dicking you over as well, I was hoping to see you reach GM.
Ya, it sucks.
Won my game as Zen today and didn't gain shit.The GM dream isn't dead, though. The bug will get fixed and it's still early in the season. I'm actually feeling confident in my Masters games, I don't feel like everyone else is clearly playing better than I am, so eh, I'm keeping up hopes.
Actually in the game today that I won, I outhealed our Ana as Zen. So, yeah...
what heros you were using and did you did anything great compared to your friend in those placement?

Yeah, I finished last season 29XX and I got placed like at 23XX this season. It took me like ten more games to crawl back to Plat.

Whelp...Finally did it fellas.
Climbed from placing Bronze 1447 this season back to Plat, which is where I reached in Season 2. Mostly as Reinhardt. (a little bit of mercy and harambe here and there)
Man...I thought Silver was bad.....Mid gold is absolutely the worst.
Climbing over 1000 points as Reinhardt feelsgoodman
Now to get to Diamond.

My new favorite thing is ulting Orisas as Roadhog when they use fortify.
You are gonna eat all that damage without flying away

Ana is still probably one of the better counters to Pharah still.

She can annoy her, but I wouldn't call her a counter, especially now with the damage nerf.
Besides, if Ana is focusing on Pharah she isn't healing her team. Not a good trade-off most of the times.
Edit: PS4 perspective, Ana is easier to play on PC.
I was Zarya, he was Rein, Mei, Roadhog, and Soilder.
2 of our losses were because we had teammates disconnect. 1 of our ties we were down a person. We had one win against a team that ended up being a 6v4. And my cat unplugged my power strip during a match but I was able to rebuild the PS4 database and log back in and rejoin match and finish out that match which we won. And I'd say performance wise were were pretty equal, both of us getting lots of medals. One match we somehow lost he had gold elims as rein and I had 4 silvers as Zarya. Anyways i just felt cheated out of platinum when I know I could easily hang in mid Diamond. Season 2 I was platinum, S3 I was platinum and had my highest career SR. S1 I think my high was 54.
That is some BS. How did your placements go W-L-T?
Relatively speaking of course. There is no doubt that Pharah is effectively unchallenged.
unless you're a godly hitscan, it honestly takes a lot more effort from 76 solo to deal with pharah than it does pharah to deal with 76. not to mention the fact that 76 is looking up away from the battle in front of him while pharah has a perfect view of everything
It's so bad on console
I don't have a problem dealing with Pharah as Soilder. I've even been able to dispose of her as Mei. Widow seems like the best pick though.
Not sure if this was posted already, but they made some new Lucio changes in addition to what was announced last week. He does 33% more damage, and reduced his self-healing and speed bonus off of wall rides.

well....apparently one of the strats of dealing with Pharmercy is hurrying up to kill the 4 people on the ground first.....
you continue to do this, and mercy has to take her attention away from pharah, hopefully long enough for your soldier to kill her.
i personally try to get a healer to go zen and just use a discord on mercy, kill mercy, then discord on pharah, kill pharah.
but it can be tough if the people on the ground are very good.

Just saw the video from Force about this. I like the changes. He's more and more how I want to play him.
Just saying what I hear during games in solo queue. A lot of that or teams that just outright ignore her and suffer for it.
Pharah isn't even hard on console as Soldier unless she's aiming at me. Her rockets cause so much damage that she can outdamage me so I need to run and heal. Thanks to Zen buff, I took out Pharah more easily with him in some random matches. Basically, two heroes working together can take her out quickly. Always make her a priority like when you spot a Mercy.
if the pharahs bad, even my hanzo can shoot her out of the sky
Sorry we couldn't play together. Group kept getting full when someone left. We didn't end up doing any Comp. heh
