Pretty much the same for me, but with Mercy instead of Lucio. Thankfully I like playing Mercy and Reinhardt. I've really only used Pharah for Offensive characters because of this. My goal this weekend is to get some practice in as other characters so I can be more diverse.

I still need to touch Support at some point. Is Lucio the "offensive" healer? Reason I'm wondering is since if I get an incompetent team, I'd like to be able to have some self defense.

All the healers work fine on either attack of defend but you do tend to see lucio more on attack because sound barrier is great for pushing in and Mercy's rez can be clutch for defense. If your looking for options to protect yourself Lucio is a good pick as he has push back, speed boost and wall riding to try to evade attackers on you. Mercy's only options are dashing away and hiding behind team. Zenyatta doesn't have any mobility options but he damage is insane so he can hold his own against attackers provided they don't get too huge of a drop on you.

Nah, Lucio's actually got a solid overall kit that's really easy to play defensively and still be highly effective. The passive heals are easy to apply well if you're smart with positioning and the knockback move is great defensively and offensively on pit/hazard maps. I candidly think I'm pretty bad to average in this game currently, but Lucio is just great for me.

That said, good offensive Lucio's are ridiculous. Pro wall skaters with speed boost song up are nuts. Posted a Seagull video of spider-Lucio on the last page worth watching.

Zaraya best team player. Also, you guys may want to change things on character specific options to help you. Like life indicators when playing Soldier or Zaraya (not healers after all) or Riptire climbing walls automatically

**TheDirtyHobo** · 2016-05-26 23:25

Lucio is the "I don't actually want to play a healer" healer, Mercy is the "I only want to be a healer" healer, and Zenyatta is the "I want to support my team in ways besides just healing" healer.

After 6 hours on Mei, I have come to the conclusion that her only hard counter is Pharah. She has a few soft counters with Bastion, Reinhardt, Mcree, and Roadhog. Everything else is situational (i.e. obviously Widowmaker has an advantage at long range, and Mei dominates her if she can get close) or a favorable matchup.

Torbjorn is more healer-ish than symmetra

random thoughts: we should make a BG Overwatch tourney

**TheDirtyHobo** · 2016-05-27 02:39

Seems decent and all but given that it's 6-person teams, we'd be lucky to organize 4 teams. And that's not really much of a tournament.

**Nama** · 2016-05-27 02:42

Im sure overwatch subreddit will have another tourny eventually entering BG teams in that might work out better

Only played for an hour so far yesterday, but already getting annoyed with the noobs not doing objectives and just running full speed into the opposing teams solo and dying miserably.

I want to play more Tracer to be as annoying as possible, but I'm a team player and end up as a tank or support most times.

Mine is OttomanRob#1594, but I won't be on until after work. Hoping to get out of here by 2. Have to be in Brooklyn around 7 so should have a couple hours to play hopefully.

Random aside. Overwatch is so hype, T-Pain comes out as a gamer and streaming on twitch (on shit hotel internet), KappaPride.

Added both of you [terrible] players. I don't rekt people, i just freeze everyone in sight and troll people with Mei's ice wall when I fail at placing it behind people. BEST

**Tokitoki** · 2016-05-27 10:20

I added everyone I found names for in the last 3 pages or so. May have sent out doubles accidentally; no idea.
