Overwatch Megathread

[Dodger]

Anyways yeah I played some ranked mode last night. Everyone in our team was pretty good individually, but it was fun finally getting our players to coordinate as a team.
My Zarya + friend's Hanzo = wiping teams with ult combos.

I feel like this will become a meta strat

Maybe not, but its so good for team wipes on maps like Volskaya and Anubis on the last points

you can pair zarya's ult with a lot of other ults. reaper's, phara's, tracer's, junkrat's... the list goes on

also i've learned the great way to counter that is to use zenyatta's ult when your team gets sucked into zarya's ult and it can null everything except for junkrat's ult really

It loses to any non-dot ult, which is to say:
McCree, Tracer, Junkrat, D.Va, Bastion

Is it just me or does something seem off about Roadhog's hook now?

Before the patch:
If I hooked a target, they were pulled as usual. If I missed a target, no one would be hooked.
When a target was hooked, they would be conveniently placed directly in front of me.

After the patch:
Sometimes a target would act like a wall, having the hook play the 'hit a wall' animation despite the target not being Genji or having any shield protecting them.
Sometimes a target would not get hooked, instead, another enemy completely off-screen gets hooked instead.
Even if a target is missed, sometimes they're pulled anyway. This was witnessed both in kill-cams and also while playing Roadhog myself.
When a target actually does get hooked, they're not always pulled directly in front of me. Most of the time they're placed to my left, sometimes to the right, and even on one rare occasion, the target was actually pulled behind me.


I've also had the best killcam.
What actually happened: Hanzo shot me twice and I died.
What the killcam showed: Hanzo shot me once, then the second shot missed and then I ran around for a bit and never actually died in the killcam.

oh yeah i forgot about bastion and mccree's. i learned the hard way today i still cant save people from a dva ult

[Shift Kitty]

Reinhardt can save people from a D.Va ult. Pin it to a wall and put your shield up.

We're talking about during a Zarya/Other hero combo.

The only way to win is to leave the game, then.

[ZSNO]

I keep losing rounds because someone disconnects while we're winning.

my personal favorite is zarya / pharah

zarya probably has one of, if not the best teamfight ultimates in the game

[kongo]

protip don't hook another roadhog unless you're sure you can one shot him or he doesn't have his hook, otherwise they'll win the fight, because you can hook > shoot whereas they can be hooked > shoot > hook > shoot

McCree is really fun hot jelly

I hardly use fan the hammer because his M1 is godly, I finally got the sensitivity just right to average 45-60% accuracy per game, and because his headshots are way more satisfying and can chunk harder than his fan the hammer.

The true McCree wombo combo is Flashbang, headshot, melee, m1 or roll, and then melee.

Like god damn getting the well aimed headshot and chunking 140 HP is always fun as hell to do, especially on tanks who think they're safe because of HP pool and D.Va's who have the world's easiest headshot hitbox.

Also on tracers and zenyatta's who can just be flashbanged and headshot for an instant kill, every time, all the time.

edit:
in a bind, using your ult, not actually charging it all the way, and firing is almost always way more useful, as you can roll, use your m1 to finish the job (or a flashbang which is way funnier)

Got a McCree team kill earlier today.

i love hanzo's though
it's one of the few ults than can go through reinhardt's shield
it can't be destroyed like junkrat
hanzo doesn't even need line of sight



Also, I got a Lifesaver potg by putting a Zarya shield on someone who was standing still being shot in the back
Also, PSA: there are more POTGs than just "this guy did a forgetton of kills". Sometimes you'll see "Lifesaver" "Sharpshooter" or "Shutout" at the bottom of the screen.
The question "how was that potg" is usually because it was one of those types.
