[QUOTE=coverop;50459818]Top 3 the most annoying classes in Overwatch: 1. Widowmaker 2. Widowmaker 3. Widowmaker[/QUOTE] Fixed People mostly complain about mei and bastion, they are annoying for sure but you can deal with them, a good widow destroys the flow of the entire game and pretty much forces your team to hide around corners at every possible moment like there is a non stop high noon going on
[QUOTE=coverop;50459862]Correctly executed Combo can execute anyone in this game. He can do 900 dmg within 3 seconds.[/QUOTE] And that's all he can literally do. Anything else he's useless/worse in. He is excellent in taking on 1v1 but against groups he's fucked and in regards to defense he isn't optimal compared to Hanzo, Widowmaker, Mei, or Bastion. [editline]5th June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Lolkork;50459866]His 130% pick rate in comp shows that the balancing act isn't working out. [editline]5th June 2016[/editline] If he could be countered well he would not always be picked.[/QUOTE] The game has only been out for a couple weeks. It will take a bit for proper strats to come out in regards to counter plays and picking against characters in the most optimal way.
[QUOTE=Lolkork;50459885]But flashbang is incredibly useful in team vs team battles.[/QUOTE] Yeah, sure but it has to land first and HIT people for it to be effective. Something like Zarya's ult or Mei's can affect an entire team easily without having to specifically hit anyone.
I pick Winston if i know there are many low health heroes in the enemy team, had to chase down a Widowmaker and she was running to the respawn and still got killed. Also putting a shield while harassing the enemies buys you enough time for you and your team.
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50459887]Yeah, sure but it has to land first and HIT people for it to be effective. Something like Zarya's ult or Mei's can affect an entire team easily without having to specifically hit anyone.[/QUOTE] Well, they're ultimates, comparing them to McCrees flashbang is a bit ridiculous.
I wanted to play Mercy So did some other people. Well I'm not switching and I haven't played a FPS in years- I'll take point with my OP pistol [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4nPHWVC2Sg[/media] [sp]I cannot believe it worked out in the end[/sp]
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50459887]Yeah, sure but it has to land first and HIT people for it to be effective. Something like Zarya's ult or Mei's can affect an entire team easily without having to specifically hit anyone.[/QUOTE] Both of those are ults though, while the flashbang is a regular skill [editline]5th June 2016[/editline] Plus that you don't have to "hit" them with the flashbang, it has AOE
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;50459872]Fixed People mostly complain about mei and bastion, they are annoying for sure but you can deal with them, a good widow destroys the flow of the entire game and pretty much forces your team to hide around corners at every possible moment like there is a non stop high noon going on[/QUOTE] Is Widowmaker really that annoying to play against? From my experience in the beta (still need to buy the game, probably tomorrow) a good Reinhardt could protect me from Widow pretty well, and most of the time I could avoid dieing to her just by staying on the move all the time. The only thing I had a hard time with was that it was hard to know when exactly Widow used her ult, which led to some unexpected deaths when walking around corners. I know that Widow has some powerful tools, but she kinda needs those to compete with all the crazy shit going around in Overwatch.
[QUOTE=Mr Flexi;50459895]Well, they're ultimates, comparing them to McCrees flashbang is a bit ridiculous.[/QUOTE] Ok let me compare them to other abilities then. Mei's ice wall can effectively shut vision away from McCree and her cryostasis prevents damage (op). Reinhard's shield straight up blocks McCree's flashbang and bullets. Zarya's shield on others can nullify most of McCree's damage. Winston's shield also blocks flashbang and damage.
[QUOTE=Lolkork;50459909]Just because he can't do everything doesn't mean that he isn't too strong.[/QUOTE] He fills a very small role and isn't a versatile character, so he has to be strong in one way. People who complain about this are people who don't know how to properly use their characters to avoid being flashbanged.
Dude McCree is OP, I can't even believe you're trying to defend that
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50459874]And that's all he can literally do. Anything else he's useless/worse in.

There's a reason why to counter a McCree in competitive play the other team will just pick a 2nd McCree.
[QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;50459917]Dude McCree is OP, I can't even believe you're trying to defend that[/QUOTE] Well duh, look at my avatar
My COD instincts keep kicking in Whenever I play Overwatch, its immediately about my eliminations. I completely disregard the objective and just try getting those sweet 20 kill streaks. Help me.
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50459910]Ok let me compare them to other abilities then. Mei's ice wall can effectively shut vision away from McCree and her cryostasis prevents damage (op).

Am I the only one that doesn't like any of pahrahs skins apart from the basic recolours?

useful for devil informative for imp
[QUOTE=joshuadim;50459910]Reinhard's shield straight up blocks McCree's flashbang and bullets.[/QUOTE] I forgot to mention also that you can throw the flashbang above Reinhardt's shield and stun him, so this isn't entirely true.
god fucking dammit. I open my crate, oh boy a gold token what is it?! Fuckin Daredevil 76. I already have fuckin Commando 76 and i hardly play Soldier 76 so its like a huge middle finger for my second legendary to be another one of his skins.
[QUOTE=Zeos;50459580]Jeeze, I'll talk shit about D.VA needing work because she doesn't fit as a tank... or has good weapons or the like, but Winston? I can't feel threatened by him. His gun is pathetic and even when he rages I don't go "Oh shit", unlike say a charging Reinhardt or when Zarya puts up her shield. I feel like I can take on Winston as [I]anyone[/I][/QUOTE] Winston is so good holy fuck, I feel like you're just playing with/against bad players.
[QUOTE=CyrusTehSage;50459927]Am I the only one that doesn't like any of pahrahs skins apart from the basic recolours?[/QUOTE] All her skins are great imo, I bought Mechaqueen with my first 1000
[QUOTE=Novangel;50459979]All her skins are great imo, I bought Mechaqueen with my first 1000[/QUOTE] Mechaqueen and Titanium are the only ones I like.
[QUOTE=Novangel;50459979]All her skins are great imo, I bought Mechaqueen with my first 1000[/QUOTE] The big problem with Mechaqueen and Raptorion is they make her head look really weird IMO. The first two purchases I made since unboxing Raptorion were a victory pose and highlight intro that leave her helmet on because of that.
I like Pharah's purple skin, it looks so goddamn slick. I hate Rainmaker and the other one though, I think they're just tacky.
[QUOTE=Maadz;50459923]My COD instincts keep kicking in Whenever I play Overwatch, its immediately about my eliminations. I completely disregard the objective and just try getting those sweet 20 kill streaks. Help me.[/QUOTE] This is why I shouldnt play reinhardt, i always go for eliminations instead of defending my team, but because people arent used to that kind of reinhardt it seems to work most of the time :v: Imagine coming out of your spawn on offence and then a Reinhardt charges you from behind, thats me :weeb:
I wish I could stop joining games that are absolute steamrolls against me. I feel like I join a team that's all solo queue but then the other team is filled with a 6man group.
Feel bad killing defensiveness mercys slowly as Winston. Hearing their shockful pains and jumping frantically makes me feel so bad
Some Bastion just wouldn't stop unloading right into my reflect and kept dying to it the entire match. "genji fucking retard champ" "hard to press E and win??"
