Everything in this video seems fair. Except the bit where he said Blizzard has done a great job balancing the game across all levels (the fuck are you smoking dude?)

Pharah's still the only hero who flies, her rockets do a retarded amount of damage (both direct and splash) considering they land directly where she aims them, she has SIX of them to a clip, all her abilities are designed to throw off her so-called counters or get away from them, her hitbox is tiny in or out of the air, and paired with a Mercy she's capable of wiping entire teams by herself.

Maybe not hard nerf, but considering damn near every other hero has gotten some kind of tweak, many of which end up favoring her (Soldier's spread, Ana's damage, McCree's range,) it's her turn. Seeing more and more of them lately as people wise up to how ez mode she is.

Its getting harder and harder to deny this is becoming canon. All the hint drops in the comic is just too much at this point.

Even people who aren't tumblrite shippers are saying it's happening based on just their own personal theories.

Always laugh at loud when a Pharah main says this. Learn2concussiveblast rocket baby.

>>173395521
stop fucking playing during brtime then, dipshit

>>173395510
I played Valkia a few times, he was annoying. Every other Phara is incredibly easy to take out. Pharah is about as OP as Widowmaker is. I have no idea how anyone can call for Pharah nerfs whith Soldier in his current form, both as a counter and as an alternative DPS. It just doesn't make sense unless you assume people can't aim for shit, which may be true below 3000 SR.

anyone made it to top 500 regional?

>>173395763
Does this happen on QP or Comp?

>>173395984
The problem here it's ALWAYS BR TIME YOU FUCKING RETARD

>>173396031

I can only imagine it's even more of an issue in Comp

>>173395954
I main Tracer at 3.8k, nice try though.

>>173396136
Ah, I've also experienced the same, but at least I get some masters on my team as well. I thought I was actually improving my QP MMR lmao

>>173395986
>Every other Pharah.

Exactly. Even some of the shittiest Pharahs can stomp because of her advantages.

My aim is fine, I've killed many a Pharah in my day, and I'm sick of this "Soldier is a counter" mantra. Yes, Soldier can kill her under ideal conditions, but he's not a hard "why isn't she dead yet" counter to her. You have to get pretty close, if not right up under her, you have to skirt the rest of the enemy team, and you have to keep a constant motion yourself to prevent her from two shotting you with her six chances per load.

On some maps this is fucking annoying as shit, as she can be down the entire stretch of the map spamming rockets at you and the team and the payload. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of retarded Pharahs that don't know how to get away and float across a line of fire. There are also plenty of retarded DPS players that can't aim and have no hope of killing her. But damn, she is not that easy to kill, and every recent nerf has indirectly buffed her by reducing what it takes to kill her.

Also, in all fairness, there are tons of players below 3000 and whether they can aim or not, like I said, even the shittiest Pharah can really fuck them up, and the only advice they seem to get is "aim better." You don't say that about any other hero, which proves she's too much.

Best Tracer skin?

>>173396103
Then stop playing the game entirely and fuck off.

>>173396365
This is why I don't like Pharah. She can wreck at lower levels just because there's no counter to her other than having the raw skill to shoot her down with a widow or such.

Even Bastion you can flank and blast his fuck point.

>>173396027
I was 378 for a while but dropped back to boarder GMs pretty quickly.

>people complain about pharah
>but not genji who can dance around a group of 6, press e, then fucks off only to come back 15 secs later poking your ass making swirling noises

Genji is good because it exploits people's shitty aim. This is similar to the current complaint I'm hearing about Pharah.

It looks like we've all accepted genji is a broken piece of shit that will never be nerfed because of the potential community outburst and are going after other heroes instead

>>173396823
Thank you. Of course you can kill Pharah if you have a good team or crack aim, but those are not strategies, those are the basics of any shooting game. In the real world, when you're dodging five other enemies as you look up, she can blast you away or blast herself away or both, you aren't guaranteed to have a team that knows to go after her (or picks one of the few heroes that even can,) and the simple fact that you're shooting at something with vertical and horizontal range of movement instead of just horizontal, it's going to be a real bitch to pull off a lot of the time.

Again, watching the video, everything he said was fair. Don't nerf her to the point she becomes the next D.Va and nobody wants her, but make her less definitive so you don't need half the team switching and teaming up to kill her off the bat (and she won't stomp anybody with damage due to the ground battle if they don't.) The people that play Pharah already rely on the skills of air movement and somewhat sniper ability to land direct hits, surely they can keep that skill up to say, three shot people instead of two? Or have to strategize their air time better instead of just taking it for infinite granted? I mean, is she supposed to be able to two shot most of the roster while most of them can't even hope to get a shot off on her? I say thee nay. Just like Ana isn't necessarily supposed to kill every hero that tries to flank her with ease.

AYYOOO

>>173397293
You're not wrong, but Genji is also hard as shit to play and Pharah is not at all. It takes a genuine amount of skill to pull off a team wipe between dashing and timing the reflect, directly within enemy lines mind you, whereas Pharah can hang as far back as possible as long as possible, spam rockets, and boost or blast to get away if need be.

I mean, if somebody has a 90%+ aim rate with Widowmaker, they'll stomp too. But it's hard to do.

Why is the weekend such a cancerous time to play?

While the honorific "-chan" can be used for lovers, it can also be used for close friends. It's used endearingly but it's akin to Morrison calling Reyes "Gabe" instead of Gabriel here in the English-speaking world

>>173397546
She could literally be removed from the game and it'd be an improvement, just like game release McCree.

She's overwhelmingly present in lower levels of comp and quickplay, and they need to balance her for that shit.

When you have six chances, perpetual high ground, and don't have to worry about being flanked 95% of the time (or even shot at half the time,) it ain't exactly hard.

I main Lucio and the amount of times speed boosting through the choke has made a significantly obvious difference is like, less than ten. You still have to engage them after all, and it ends up devolving into a bunch of 1v1s that we don't have advantage on.

Now, I've run dive comp now and again and it works on like Hanamura where you can blow past and back up into the point and pick them as they turn around. But for maps like Dorado, it doesn't seem to help that much.

Lucio's value increases the more skilled the team is.

Ex: Eichenwalde, Attack. Group in ruined building. Reinhardt shields team into computer shop. Breather. Reinhardt wants to shield team across the ledge under the arch to attacker second spawn- Lucio speed boosts this trip. Team can now move directly onto the point, supports using balcony building as cover. Reinhardt has been allowed to cover the distance on to the point to melee any enemy point contests. It creates easy callouts as the defenders reposition in response, and every step gives the attackers health pack control.

At 4k sr this is by far the most successful run on 1st point. The Lucio speed boost between computer repair and second attacker spawn arch is critical to have. Doing this with a Zenyatta instead is BRUTAL in comparison.

Pretty much this. Speed boost allows your team to steamroll enemies in bad position, chase down kills, get cover when low etc and can almost completely nullify characters like Winston and Rein. It's literally the best non-ult ability in the game

>>173402085
Well reducing pharah's dps to 0, making her pocket mercy useless, deleting concussion blast, making pharah unable to use her ult, and basically murder her if she gets in close range while shrugging off directs

She does all of this while requiring 10% of the skill that is required on hitscan to shut down pharah.

Right?

>>173403467
Any game where action can happen in multiple places is like this. It's why I think e-sports will never be a thing like people think it will. Games like this, DoTA, League and others have too much action happening at once for it to be parseable by most people. A game like soccer has this figured out properly. There's only one object of interest (the ball) and most action that can happen around it is relatively simple to understand.

>>173403467
I think the spectator mode isn't very good. It's not always clear which team is which, I find.

Maybe a few of the players in your match will be recovering from a streak; either significantly overranked or underranked. This is rarely more than 500 points up or down, however.

I've been saying this for months.
The code is fucked. There's a server tick that's handles actions in such a fucked way that the same thing done twice can get two different results because of an invisible time counter

Blizzard ignores people who've brought it up. Serious players have either quit Overwatch, realizing how fucked it is as an FPS, or they're trying to put up with it and are miserable.

Blizzard made this game with one overworked intern, 25 Blizzard asskissing overpaid cucks, and a shoebox of leftovers from Project Titan.

Why do you think it took them a year to release Hook 2.0? Why do you think they rely on Logarrows? Why do you think Genji has a fuckhuge sword range, except when he doesn't and whiffs completely at point blank?
