Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

[Melena]

I'll have to check that out. Thanks

[synistar]

3-1 so far. Notice on the new map people still learning the flanking routes after A. Hard to tell/lead people the routes when playing Reinhart pushing the payload.

[Corrderio]

Got a bit better with Mercy, but dear god people seem tunnelvisioned beyond all hell when I play her.

[Karbuncle]

Playing as a support you'll notice tunnel vision a lot more... especially when being flanked constantly. But I tunnel vision too :\

[kisada]

that's why i like zen. it's easier to have actual impact on guys going too ham without exposing yourself, as opposed to other healers.

[Karbuncle]

Zenyatta I find myself hit and miss on.... pretty much literally :\ My aim is bad so I either win a 1v1 or they fuck me up.

It's weird though, it never bothered me that much with Lucio.

[Tyrath]

Because lucio just rides around with tunes and doesnt give a shit.

[Corrderio]

True, and at least I can pushback to give me some distance.

Speaking of support, did the hitbox change make any noticeable difference with Ana?

[Meian]

Ana plays the same and I agree the above statement mentioned about Zeny which is why I play him as much as Ana.

Loving the new Mei somehow I am getting a lot more golds lately as a result from just right clicking everything in sight. "Have to learn to let go"/"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" to each one XD

Genji still annoying, so much for "dead" character

[Nitsuki]

Genji will always be annoying no matter what, because that's his character playstyle. At least this time he's more tolerable, and somewhat easier to deal with.

[Corrderio]

Genji is pretty much a monster still, but at least he's easier to pin down with Winston it feels like.

Mei still feels like the spawn of Satan. I hate her primary weapon.

[Tokitoki]

Zenyatta is a good pick for support if you have decent aim. Make sure to cal out Discord targets. It helps your team focus them down much quicker. Just finished a game where I got 48% kill participation with him. I think him and Lucio are going to be my most played this season. Also doing some Reinhardt when we have healers. I'm starting to like Zarya a lot more. She's always been pretty good, but I'm actually getting more play time with her. Unfortunately nobody wants to play support so that means someone has to.

Just hit Platinum. Had some good teams, but logged out before my streak was destroyed.

[synistar]

You know your team sucks when you're gold damage as tank, switch to Zeny for the 3rd of KotH, and still have gold dps, obj kills, elims, obj time, and heals for some reason.

[Tokitoki]

Yep. I played Lucio in round 1 and then Zarya in round 2 in a match earlier and still ended up with gold heals and some silvers.

[Karbuncle]

I can't always tell but a lot of times I feel like the collapse of my teams is due to bad DPS, we simply are not killing the enemies... and its really hard to convince bad DPS to swap to something useful so maybe I can dps.

People never appreciate the rape power of reaper, still a lot of Junkrat, Soldier... like 80% of the games I've lost had an enemy Reaper just pushing our shit in, and the games where I switched to Reaper, we generally won. Lets be honest, Reaper has shotguns and while he can do massive damage in great hands, he has a low skill cap and is a great offensive character... I wish people would chose him more often if they're shit at aiming (like I aim).

On a side note, I still absolutely hate Snipers on attack, especially when I'm on the defending team... I have to constantly be aware of them which is hard with Harambe fucking me up as our only healer. I seriously try and befriend every person I come across who picks Lucio/Mercy/Zenyatta as first picks... my Career profile paints a very clear picture of "Support Main" and at the end of the day I'm a better DPS than most people, especially ones who pick bad classes for the situation. If I'm on Zarya, I want a DPS who can fuck shit up with his Ult or just in general because I dont want to waste a Graviton Surge. Pharah, Reaper, possible Junkrat... these are good Fuck-Em Ups. Mcree could work but maybe if they've got bad tanks.

[synistar]

And I just got told Mercy is a bad solo healer. Well that idiot added to the block list.

[Tokitoki]

I mean, Mercy can't heal multiple people at the same time like Lucio can. Generally Lucio's get the gold medal for healing because it's AoE, but as a solo healer Mercy's real advantage is Res. The problem there is people never die together when you need them to.

[Karbuncle]

Lucio is fantastic, I agree, but Mercy should be fine... it will depend on your team and if you're losing bad enough people are complaining about heals(1 they're probably complete mouth breathing shit tiers), someone else on the team needs to stop being a shitty DPS and switch to a healer, since 2 healers is basically comp meta and without 2 healers you'll likely get outhealed at every single encounter regardless of your support chosen, and if you're outhealed, they will kill you easily.

Being on a 1 healer team against a 2 healer team will almost always result in a loss if the enemy is any good.

Or in 2 of my cases, I raise 2 people just to have 2 others die right after.
