Show us you fuck

ColonicAcid · Sun May 29, 2016 10:04 am

widow and hanzo are my favourites

hanzo is just broken, the only weak ability he has is his ultimate which can just be side stepped and everyone usually scatters as soon as they hear jap.
widow is good though, i'll usually pick her when the enemy team have a mcree or pharah and just focus on destroying them every engagement.

tho tracer and like genji will fuck my shit up though, unless im hanzo in which i can one shot both with scatter arrow :^)

also whoever said that widow doesn't require twitch aim is wrong. yes, you can just shoot people super slow but when you have a mcree lining up a high noon you better swipe your crosshair on his head asap or your entire team can die.

how come the indians didnt beat the americans if this is the power of the bow and arrow???

I've gotten some pretty wicked blind shots with Hanzo's ricochet shot thing. Shredded this one poor tracer that ducked out of my sight once with a fairly random "Why not" shot.

There was also this time I had a spot on a cliff above a widowmaker. Headshotted her. ... Then she was revived by their mercy... then immediately headshotted the second the golden glow went away.

ColonicAcid · Sun May 29, 2016 11:24 am

yeah im pretty good at getting headshots with just peaks and then hiding straight away.

thats one of hanzos most broken things, you can peak for like a millisecond, get a shot that will instakill someone and hide again with no repercussions

like atleast widow has to basically have a lower fov and can't just peak instantly and go back in, but hanzo just doesnt give TWO FUCKS

Hanzo is a lot better once you get the wolf skin because people at lower levels don't recognize the wolf callout as enemy because it's rarer to hear.

A good tip for using hanzo's ult is to try and catch enemies on the 'tail' of the dragon where the dragon comes out of, because they won't see it until they're already dead because it's coming out 'behind' them.

Generally though, you should try and flank the enemy team and shoot it through a wall where they don't see it coming and try to predict where they'll fall back to when they hear it so they have no path of escape. Works better on some maps than others. Don't blindly fling it onto the payload/capture point unless you specifically want to clear it for a team push.

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sun May 29, 2016 6:03 pm #181698

Generally good teams are going to just scatter regardless of whether or not it's normal hanzo skin. And to be completely honest in Korean they both are basically the same call out and it's still a global announce so yeah, I can tell instantly that hes sent out his ult.

Post by **NikNakFlak** » Sun May 29, 2016 7:35 pm #181731

I often use hanzo's alt as a payload clearer yea, for some reason if you just disrupt the enemy with it, even if you don't kill anyone, it really helps with a push.

Here's a good and simple breakdown of armor by a guy who's content I enjoy despite not playing call of duty games. I'm really glad he's doing more games now because I really like his soothing southern voice and format.

A lot of this stuff was already outlined by the devs and by people figuring out how armor works but it's important to know just how effective armor is so people know to switch to reaper to counter reinhardt/dva.

This will also help explain why it feels like tracer is total dogshit against people sometimes when a torbjorn is on their team, torbjorn's armor pickups CUT TRACER'S DAMAGE IN HALF.

I got the pre order and have all the new skins but I never play any of the characters except for tracer.

Also post stats, I normally get double digits in eliminations with a +4 kill. On good games I get 15 - 25 especially with hanzo or mc cree

I think the only way to view them is if you log in to your account from the web site, can't view them like that in game.

I wish more people would recognize that Lucio is a group healer and staying near me will heal you passively all the time. Instead i got people scattering avoiding the payload like the plague.

yeah that's what bugs me about Lucio

i like him though he's fun, i'd be his friend even though he's a manlet

Starting to branch out into torbjorn and junkrat, both of them are awesome. Played a lot of demo back in TF2 but junkrat has so much more close range utility between his shift and E abilities, not to mention infinite grenade spam forever

easy.
hit a 5/6 man ult that ends up in the enemy team dying and you get a reinhardt play of the game.

also when im playing my first round of the day and my aim is all fucked up but i somehow get play of the game and the entire server gets to see me miss 1/3 of the shots as widow/hanzo.

I wish when I was standing behind someone healing them as Mercy and keeping them stable while they fight a group, they wouldn't suddenly chicken out and run behind me, so now they're running away at full health while I'm chasing after them and the entire group is trying to buttfuck me.

It's your duty to die first you fucking coward. I can resurrect you holy shit.

IrishWristWatch0 · Tue May 31, 2016 1:40 am

I take objectives super easy as Lucio, he's a pain in the ass to hit and i can blast people away.

ThanatosRa · Post by **ThanatosRa** » Tue May 31, 2016 2:56 am #182275

Given how telegraphed Hanzo's ult is, I've found it more useful as an Area Denial tool rather than for actually getting kills. Hell my most recent play of the game on Hanzo was three rapid kills with two headshots and a two-body hit kill.

dezzmont · Post by **dezzmont** » Tue May 31, 2016 3:12 am #182281

Lucio's only the group healer when the group is doing what it should. He is considered top tier because he can switch to the speed buff and solo flank when needed, and if the team is a mess, its generally better to win via dueling 1v1 a couple times behind enemy lines to force the game to be a 5v3 scenario. He also plays the objective really well, meaning he can do basically anything needed if you are being an air breather.

What really pisses me off are Mercys who heal the wrong character or never switch to damage when we aren't taking fire. Don't heal the Reinhardt, buff the Soldier 76 behind him you asshole.

dezzmont · Post by **dezzmont** » Tue May 31, 2016 7:39 am #182356

Well the point is that Tracer is the main one with the correct attitude. Its why she is the mascot and why the game's tagline is her quote. "The world could always use more heroes."

Its also why I suspect the big 3 characters of the story are going to be Tracer, Lucio and McCree, they best represent that motto out of anyone. Lucio decided to be a hero in response to the world being terrible, and McCree decided to be a hero when he realized he himself was terrible.

It bleeds through in most of the other overwatch character's personal stories and videos as well, none of them really lost that sense of optimism in the end, and the game subtly pokes fun at how Soldier is taking shit way too seriously and is being a grimderp, how Reaper's worldview is a total joke, and how only Reaper is a true unambiguous villain because of his shitty worldview.
