Overwatch, It Isn't New Anymore

Pharah can be good, but I feel like they get picked off the better the people you play. A decent Widow will completely counter a Pharah.

To be fair, a decent Widow counters almost everything. RIP Zenyatta.

And six-man drunk Overwatch party on PS4 tonight? I have to head to the office Saturday and Sunday, so staying in.

Yes and no. The real reason for the hard counter to Pharah is that you can't move that quickly in the air. Really easy to pick off a flying Pharah.

Nothing wrong with defensive heroes on attack/capture, they just require a strategy change. All maps only have so many paths thru each area, a torb or bastion can cover them to keep people from coming to defend objective. Bastions a little tougher, but I get 1-4 gold medals attacking as torb all the time.

one million percent accurate we should all kneel at the altar

Maybe it's just cause it's obvious, but people don't talk about the fact that trap = 80 damage, mine = 120. Put a trap on a mine and wait for the trigger message then right-click. GG any 200 hp hero and you don't even have to be there.

Last night my boys and i were playing badminton, it was glorious!

i put this combo in front of a door to start every defense map. 75% of the time someone walks into it immediately

This is why I normally avoid flying and just spam from higher ground and wait for one hell of a good opportunity for her ult. She's powerful, but an easy pick when airborne.

You can add me to the list... a lot of you know me from Diablo 3... but "BlaiseArath" is my in game name. PC version.

I don't have a really cemented class or anything I play... usually jump on whats needed... Bobthebuilder, Mercy, Musicguy, Reinhwatever, Columbinedude... I like em all.

Sorry Char; passed out on the couch watching a movie after grabbing some food.

[Tomiko]

No worries. Killer said that's probably what it was. lol

I had just finished like four hours of day drinking in the 90+ degree heat with two buddies; was borderline narcoleptic.

In related news, none of my friends play video games at all, but one of my buddies came back to my place to blaze and wanted to see the game in action after I mentioned it. He freaking loved it; I let him play for a while and, though terrible, he thought Junkrat was awesome.

attacking on volskaya with reaper, i caught a cluster of people at the back of B. death blossomed for a quintuple kill, and the mercy gets a res off right before she goes down. circle behind the 3 people who got the res as the animation is going off and shred them a second time. figured with 8 kills that'd be a lock for POTG but nope, mercy got it for the res, lol.

[Karbuncle]

I think the only time I got PotG on Mercy was when I raised 4 people at once... Apparently thats a real big deal (which it is because if you're still alive when 4 people go down as Mercy, the other team has shit priorities or you showed up late).

I've gotten triple kills on Lucio and spent 92% of the game on Fire and thats simply not praise worth enough to "Bastion of the Game".

I had one "Play of the game" that was literally a Torbjorn running around in the back of a point while his turret racked up kills... we saw nothing but him standing back staring at a wall. Exhilarating.

Starting to develop a big love for Winston. I love jumping into the backline and scaring fragile/annoying chars on say Payload maps when they're trying to bomb the shit out of us on the cart. Also having good results with Hanzo. Fought a much more experienced (4+ guys in their 60-80s probably a premade) team to a standstill thanks to some decent shooting. Brings me up to Winston, Hanzo, Genji, Mercy (god willing I have a decent team), Reaper, and D.va as my list of characters I like. I want to get better at Zarya too but I feel like I have a bad sense of flow or just keep running into people who know not to shoot the bubble.

One things bugging me, sometimes I go up against a rock solid defense of Bastion, Torb, Widow and others that it seems insanely hard to make a dent in. I could deal with any one part of that but the difficulty I have is taking out Torb's turret first. Winston doesn't deal damage fast enough and Reaper while he can maneuver behind still gets spotted by the turret from any angle. So... who hard counters turret?

Also while I'm on that note Molten Core Torb is like impossible to kill goddamn.
