Zarya was never nerfed. When they lowered how much charge she gets from shields they fixed the hit reg on her lightning gun to work more like the lightning gun in Quake and it came out as a small buff. She was good before but was unfun to control.

>>379373292
You're a retard who doesn't know how to play him, simple as that. You're not supposed to jump into full enemy team and expect to survive that. You jump in on single squishie, remove it, jump out, repeat. Better yet to focus damaged players, same with jumping in on enemy groups of 2+ - only when your whole team pushes them. Winston is extremely strong dive hero, play him like Genji or Tracer, not Zarya or Rein. He's a tank only in HP number.
Go watch Miro's highlights from tournaments if you want to see how Winston is supposed to be played.

Winston's shield disappears the second it hits the ground in any kind of team situation. It might as well not exist outside of 1v1's against snipers you single out. Even 100 more health would do wonders for that shit. As it stands it's really only there as a momentary eggshell on an objective.

I've simply stopped trusting Rein players. The character is good, the people who play it aren't.

>>379374837

You guys are right, I am a noob that just started playing this past week during the F2P weekend, I enjoyed the game so much I decided to pick it up. But I havent been having much success with Winston, every time I pick him I get absolutely dumped on, where as I pick any other tank I actually do well and contribute to the team. Maybe I should dedicate a day or 2 just playing Winston to figure him out, but I really hate how vulnerable his shield seems to be. Soon as I throw it down, its fucking gone.
>>
>>379375206
Your Shield's purpose is not necessarily to soak up damage for your team, you're supposed to be a very mobile tank who uses it for himself to give yourself some protection while you're harrassing their Widowmaker or something.

That's basically what it's for. You play in the back line, 1v1 or at the very most 2v1 squishies and retreat, using your paper barrier as cover for your escape.

Hanzo is gay as fuck.

9/10 times I die to a hanzo it's because they shoot the ground a meter away from me and the scatter shots just randomly happen to hit me by chance. The other 1/10 he actually gets a headshot or gets me at low health which is acceptable.
>>
>>379377735
You point it at someone and push the shoot button. Sometimes they might try and run away, so use your move buttons too.

yeah scatter shot is a crutch, good hanzos get more body and headshots

i'd trade like half of the damage potential of scatter shot (which is like able to one shot a roadhog if done perfectly) for a way of playing against winston and genji more consistently

right now genji and winston is obnoxious
>>
>>379377735
Get in close and throw a couple of melee attacks in there. The DPS works out to be exactly the same as just holding down M1 but you end up with extra ammo over the same amount of time. Most of the skill is just picking your engagements wisely and not doing it alone.
>>
>>379377735
You want to find a squishy target who is by itself, away from the bulk of the team. Ideal targets are snipers and flankers.

First you dive on top of them, the dive itself does respectable damage. Try to punch them with quick melee right before you land. The dive+punch alone will do a big chunk of damage, and then you just throw down the shield, hold left click and chase them. If possible try to keep your shield between you and the other person so they can't stun you or shoot you.

The other primary target besides snipers and flankers is healers. If the healer only has one person protecting them you can usually manage to hop right on top of them and melt them down before the rest of their team can kill you. The instant your jump recharges you get the fuck out and jump back to your own team to get healed.

Also, the monkey gun has a special property where it goes through shields like Reinhart and Orisa and other Winstons shields. Although tanks aren't your target as WInston you can still harass them through their shields or zap the healers. Also, the gun forks to any target in front of you so if you manage to hit the entire enemy team at once with your gun your DPS is insanely high. But you'll probably die really fast because there are so many enemies there.

Use it for squishies or finishing off bulkier heroes.
There's not much to Monkey Business' gun. It does all the aiming for you.
It can attack multiple enemies at once and ignores shields though so that's something.

Monkey is all about positioning and movement rather than effective use of his weapon.

Stop talking out of your ass the best hanzo player in the world gets 40% of his elims with scattershot

Its literally the only consistent way of getting kills for hanzo, its not a "crutch"

If they ever nerf or remove scattershot they have to compensate in a lot of ways so the character is still playable.
I mean even with scattershot he is bottom tier, absolutely unusable vs the dive meta.

If he could consistently get heardshots he would make every other dps obsolete.
The reason hanzo is bottom tier and never gets picked in tournamens (the highest level of play) is because his damage is highly inconsistent, even on very good players.

Projectiles are not hitscan even with shitloads of practice that shit has inconsistency
>>
>>379378354
When I play Winston the only two characters that feel like an actual threat to me are Ana players who are really good with the sleep dart and McCree players who flashbang me at the worst possible times. Roadhog can also be a minor nuisance

You must be playing against shit Hogs if he is just a minor nuisance. A Hog standing next to his Ana pretty much renders you useless.

Did they buff him ever? I havent played in months but as soldier I could kill him 1v1 with my healing pod down 90% of the time.
>>
>>379378770
In that scenario the problem is the Ana, not the Roadhog. Ana can pair up with anybody and wombo combo me with the sleep dart.

The only way that Roadhog is a problem for Winston is because he has access to a stun effect form his hook. Literally the only thing that can stop Winston is a stun that allows the entire enemy team to do a focused attack all at once.
>>
>>379374837
Most surprising thing I see here is the 0 use of Bastion. I personally can't stand him but in silver/gold which I've been toiling in he's an auto pick. Is it due to the rise in dive comp teams?
>>
>>379378864
I was master on pc and it was no different. Hanzo players you arent as good as you think you are.
>>
>>379378891
His shield charges way faster now so every jump in he can throw down a shield to negate your bullets.
>>
>>379378059
Pretty much this. His jump has good cool down so it's easy to get in and out. Free kills against squishies who are hanging back from their team. Good to engage Reins or D.vas and force them to drop shields. In team fights, can either jump on first, drop shields and start getting mad DPS, or let your team engage first THEN drop in and start wrecking.

Ultimate is underrated. 1000 free health. When soldier or bastion start their ult just stand in front of them and eat up the hits.

Bastion is only good against retards. Any team higher than silver will fuck his shit up because he's stationary. It's impossible to miss attacks against him. Also they nerfed his damage at long range so it's easy to snipe him down.

You are just a colosal retard.

>>379379243
He's the only tank that can keep up with the faster characters which are popular now.

Rather than winston being better than the past it's just that the DPS that are popular now are different, and Winston has better synergy with them. Although he has gotten some buffs.

Whats viable and whats not depends on the highest level of play, he clearly is not viable there.

He's not just risky, he's garbage. And I'm not talking about getting kills. Yeah, Hanzo can get kills from Bronze to Grandmaster by shooting scatter at people feet and shooting arrows randomly down chokes.

The problem is that you don't win a game in Overwatch by filling a quota of enemy kills. You win by capturing a control point or defending a control point. Hanzo is crap at both of those things.

Hanzo is only a decently useful character if you're playing Elimination, but nobody cares about that game mode. When it comes to attacking and defending he's just dead weight.

attacking hanzo:
Refuses to ever go near the capture point
Stays as far back as possible
Dies instantly if he goes near the capture point

Defending hanzo:
Doesn't block captures
Stays as far as possible from the capture point
Dies instantly if he goes anywhere near the capture point

He's fucking retarded design. No range and no way to get into range. He should legitimately be a defense hero.

Whats there to explain, i thought its pretty obvious.

Reaper is the worst dps in the game right now.
He is loud as fuck, has a slow and loud repositioning skill, needs to be super fucking close to deal damage and has a shitty escape skill.

TLDR: Every other dps character does the same or more damage from safer distances.

Also reaper gets absolutely shat on by pharah, which will still happen after the patch.

Well a perfectly balanced game would be 1/24 for every hero, but perfectly balanced games dont exist.

If niche strats for every hero exist in comp i would say that the game is in a decent spot.
But some characters in OW can literally never ever be picked in any strat if you want to actually win and by some i mean literally 1/4 of the cast.

As stated by other Anons, his range is the issue. He can't close the gap and doesn't have any way to sustain in the current meta. He's the strongest at close range encounters but has no way to get there. He's strong on certain maps but only in certain situations. He tends to work better as defense rather than offence as he can hold flanks and chokes well but even then with characters like Tracer and Pharah being in the meta he can only hold off Roadhogs that try to push and even then there's the risk of being OHKO'd.

Winston just won the fight then and stopped you doing what you were doing. He generally has enough damage if he times his jump and melee combo right to have you almost dead, as soon as you escape he just leaps after to confirm the kill.

he requires 2 FtH to kill tanks,
but hey, guess what, mccree is not meant to kill tank, so he's nerfed.
Fine, fuck that,

how about other heroes?
no, mccree damages have to be nerfed to oblivion too because the communities used him too much.
blizzard din't meant to have mccree to be locked every single game,
that's soldier's and pharah's job.

i'm sure blizzard just hate mccree alot.

And Blizzard still can't figure out why Tanks are OP as fuck

Wouldn't the shield block it?

>using the "proscene" to determine if a hero is too strong or not
That's such a stupid approach. It's like saying widowmaker is not overpowered as fuck only because she has no place in those retarded pro games.

The state of the defence heroes is absolute appalling
they somehow managed to make Bastion even worse than he was with the rework
>>
>>379387797
Winston's barrier is 800 I believe.
>>379387971
Defense Heroes being very strong would make the game fucking staler than shit. Mei is already cancer and an immense pain to deal with.
>>
>>379388346
>Mei is already cancer and an immense pain to deal with

Oh so you are in silver, good to know
>>
>>379387983
It deals ~250 damage per target on one second of charge. Provided a McCree holds it for at least a second, that's about 3 shots needed to break the barrier.

>>379388346
It's 600
>>
>>379386220
grinding your way up to those ranks, theres always that 1 fag that rages when you dont pocket him the whole game

isnt that the point of defensive heroes?

This would never happen for such a simple thing
>>
>>379387190
that's why I stay out of comp. blizzard has fun characters but shit balance in all their games
>>
Has McCree gotten buffed in the PTR? Him, Reaper and Lucio are the only reason I even touch this poorly designed shitcan game.
>>
>>379379426
He's a hero that needs to be breatheng on someone's neck in order to do damage in a fucking game where everyone groups up around eachother. He's fucking useless outside of his ult that takes to fucking long to charge to really utilize
>>
>>379389492
Reaper and McCree got some small changes. Reaper now heals 20% of the damage he does and McCree has a better Deadeye
>>
>>379377174
I do this to soldier mcree and pharah all the time as dva
>>
Shields and barriers ruin this fucking game and there are way too many characters that have them
>>
>>379389758
Not bad on Reaper. Though for McCree, what kind of Deadeye change we talking? Just faster ult building, or did they make it drain like it used to so it was at least good for bluffing out people. Granted, if your main ult purpose is to just pretend you're using it, that's probably a sign it's a shit ult.
>>
>>379389997
>>379389492
Deadeye locks on faster is the tl;dr, allowing you to get a quick 1 or 2 pickoffs instead of the massive wombo
>>
>>379389997
>main ult purpose is to just pretend you're using it

would be funny if a character had the ability to mimic other's ults
>>
>>379377169
Does that mean that he's worthless if he's your only Tank then? What other tanks should be used with him?
>>
>>379390162
D'Va or Zarya. Rein in other situations.
>>
>>379389997
It starts faster and builds up damage at a higher rate

Blizz needs to not balance around Pro-league as there's no fucking point. They will always pick the most broken hero regardless of fun factor. They should balance around a majority of their player base, and to most since coordination is rarer at lower levels, monkey needs a small buff. Fun of majority > autism of minority.
>>
>>379388418
Mei is annoying as fuck to deal with it, but she isn't effective at winning games. That doesn't change the fact the she's still one of the most annoying characters to play against with certain characters. Just like hanzo, nothing is more off-putting than dying and losing 20 streak to a complete numbskull because blizzard gave them a toolset to get kills without the retard players not even realized what they are doing.
>>
>>379390259
I can see Zarya, but why D.Va? Doesn't she just compete with him for the mobile tank department?
>>
>>379374837
>Be me
>Instalock Ana every game
>Some other goy picks gengu

Why are people so retarded? At any rank below masters, nano blade will LITERALLY wipe the enemy team. I just want the easy wins, why must people make them hard?
>>
>>379390553
dive teams. get everyone on points or killing the back line
>>
>>379388346
>Defense Heroes being very strong would make the game fucking staler than shit
Or making the game more dynamic since killing those targets would be the priority and the offence gankers would be even more important making the shift of importance to less durable characters and more risks from both outcomes.
>>
>>379390157
In TFC, the Spy had the gas grenade, which disoriented people and made them see projectiles that didn't exist.

Giving Sombra some more subversive abilities than just running up to someone and hoping to god your team is coordinated enough to not let you get slaughtered for disabling a tank's shields or grounding a Pharah right next to you, or being a dollar store medkit dispenser would be interesting.

Even just having her mimic Widowmaker's infrasight lines, or McCree's high noon, or even Junkrat's riptire to see it scare off the enemy team for a few seconds could be neat.
>>
>>379390715
So an entire team dedicated to jumping up your enemy's asshole? Yeesh that sounds brutal.
>>
>>379390553
D'Va Winston Lucio Tracer + another healer + another DPS and just speed boost onto the other team and kill the supports making it a 6v4 very fast
>>

How's bronze treating you anon?

Oh man, what's it like in your own little world?

Most people who lock dps are shit but I'd rather have a potential I win combo then we'll...nano boosting Reinhardt. I mean, it works a decent amount of the time but it's usually not enough to win.

why would they not use the pro players to determine balance? They can't cater to every bad player because they all have trouble with different things that really aren't a problem, like you saying widowmaker is overpowered as fuck.

Speaking of Genji, how in the ever loving fuck do I get good at him?
I can't get nearly as much mileage as when I play someone like Tracer, Mei, Ana or Zenyatta instead, for instance.
>>
every time a rape people with mei they just call me cancer in all chat.
what is a respectable character that is fun to play
>>
>>379397180
>Giving a fuck what other people think
Also it is hard as fuck counter-sniping with the icicle shots.
If you're good at tracking shots though, you should try Pharah
>>
>>379397148
If you're not great with the shurikens yet its best to try to mostly finish targets off in hectic battles where nobody knows what the hell is going on (aka 90% of koth matches). once you get better at landing them you can just flank like tracer until you start taking too much heat then deflect --> swift strike to your healer --> repeat. Also if the other team uses defensive ults to counter yours don't try to force it, you can't really slice through sound barrier/zen ult anyways so just use as a chance to push with your team without those ults being up.

>>379375187
I play rein a good amount I never do that but I fucking hate the people around me
If a hog is in front fuck letting my shield down and that genji is dead if he stops moving for a nanosecond, plus I've always swung my hammer at mercy the most and I've been pretty consistent at hitting my charge, but the people I'm defending with my shield use it for god damn nothing and just run around and die or don't help me at all
>>
Just remove all defense heroes from the game and it's easily a 10/10.

Now it's only 5/10.

They're still shit tho because you can break them as soon as they go up.
>>
>>379396171
because .1% of the playerbase is at that level of play. Even the wannabe tryhards that these threads are full that just play ranked all day and emulate the pros don't play well enough for pro balancing to really effect them
Why would you balance your game around a extremely small amount of players? Sounds like a great way to get casuals/baddies to stop caring about your game
>>
>>379372475

I played him yesterday and wrecked the other team. Tanks are hands dowm the most fun class to play since half of them you dont need to be super accurate and positioning is easy to decipher since you are suppoused to get shot at.

>Team battle
>Chase Mercy
>Enemy team freaks out, they need to target you while getting shot at by your team
>Drop barrier
>Do as much damage as you can to squishies and jump back your team

You are doing damage on area, taking damage without actually being at risk, sabotaging and potentially killing their support. Winston is a fine character
>>
>>379382740
This. Vidya isn't for fun anymore, gtfo funfags

Question: can you actually play on console if you're maining characters like Rein/Winston and actually climb up?

>>379396534
Hate OW all you want, it's still better than nu-COD and Battlefarts. Your answer was a copout and you are a coward even on an anonymous forum.
>>
>>379403732
Yeah, I'd argue it's easier since you don't need to aim with them. It's heroes like McCree, Widow and Hanzo that suffer because it's harder to aim.

Deadeye locks on a tiny bit faster now, that's it. He's still pretty average, Flashbang is still buggy as fuck, and he's still shit at his intended purpose being an anti-flanker character.
