One of the most saddening things in the game is getting well out of the way of a charge only to have something or someone redirect Reinhardt into you. That and watching Reinhardt knock two of your teammates out of the way only to pin you instead.
Had a match in the weekly brawl earlier where I was Pharah and had a 33 kill streak, and didn't die the entire match. Also got POTG for taking out their whole team with my ult. Felt real good. They must have hated me, I almost never touched the ground except to heal occasionally.
Last night I used the voice emote to signal that high noon was ready, then ran up behind a shielding reinhart and starting ulting. The Reinhart then dropped his shield and ran away, then i was promptly sniped.
This ended up being the play of the game for the widowmaker.
I don't trust Reinhardt anymore
He's betrayed me too many times
Trying to take down a sieged Bastion? Awesome, Reinhardt shield, I can just stand and send some rockets at Basti--oh yeah Reiny that's good work, I only needed that shield for about 0.16 seconds, it's fine, I'm fine being a puff of vapor
Equally frustrating is being on the other sid eof the equation
"Okay guys, get behind me, we can make a solid push against their entrenched position if you just lemme shield you!'
I push forward...and realize my ENTIRE TEAM is too buy fighting a single Tracer by our spawn to push up against the other *5* players further ahead.
Also when you're pushing up on the point and you start getting shot at and ok here we go and oh hey my entire team just decided to take various flanking routes.
At which point you die and then they pick you off one by one.
It's one reason why hanamura 2nd point is so hard to capture, there's an obvious area for the defenders to stay around in, while there's a bunch of juicy flanking routes to distract the attackers with.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
You misunderstand. I'm happy to get sprays and junk. It's not the content of the boxes that I am concerned with, I just want to have dozens of loot disk flipping through the air to land with a thud.
I think for the ridiculous amount of utility Mei has they should really consider lowering her damage. She's oppressive.
LIES!
Her dmg isn't really impressive. She struggles with tanks because she can't burst them down even when frozen (and Reinhardt's shield blocks her completely). Even as Tracer, you just need to control space and stay out of range. I killed a Mei yesterday by shooting her while running backwards while she chased after me, just out of range while she died.
If you're having trouble with Mei, then swap to a longer range character or Zarya (her shields clear the freeze effect and you can just beam Mei down).
Honestly, no character is oppressive at this stage imho now that I've started swapping to Winston against good Tracers and Widowmakers. Why hello, squishy target! I just want to be your friend (zap zap zap).

zarya v mei is a 5-5 matchup at best
your shield blocks freeze but it's only for two seconds, then she icebergs and goes back up to full health, and then you're screwed if you don't disengage
the only way you can come out ahead is if you go into it with 50+ energy

You don't need to kill her, and you take her out of action while you get to range once she ice blocks.
It's not all about killing people, it's about controlling space and Zarya can zone out a Mei most of the time.

I've got a new favorite thing to hate besides players who pick classes they suck at and won't play anything else: players who will only ever play one class ever and quit if somebody else picks it first.
By this, I mean Widow players, because I keep seeing people pop into the team roster, pick Widow instantly, see someone else is already playing Widow, and then just leave.
Just... pick another class. Widowmaker is nowhere near universally useful, so why the hell would anybody count on only playing her always?

This is the 2nd time my group has faced off against another full PA group in matchmaking. The games are always super fun, but strange that we queue up against each other so often.

It's part of the "charm" of the lone wolf sniper who is skillful and changes the course of the battle from afar...
...except most people can't hit things in front of them, and would change the battle far more by actually standing on the point rather than that. We had one enemy Widowmaker who didn't even bother to move even though we were a few seconds away from wining and the rest of the enemy team was wiped. So rather than try to go for overtime, she tried to pick us off (without much success.)

I'm not really sure how to use his ult efficiently, though.
edit: now I got juggled into a new map before I even had time to pich a hero.
He paused to type "LOL" if you go back to watch :P
Go into settings and turn off skirmish games and it will slot you into a proper match faster.
Oh, so you got legendary skins for my two favorite heroes in one crate.
I'm not jealous. Nope, not jealous at all...

it's not a very good one so don't feel bad if you can't do much with it
best use is to push people off capture points so that your team can cap or just keep the other team from capping
Yeah, but as far as scientists go, Mei is better.

it's especially great because you can graviton surge then look up and bubble pharah
they're a fantastic team
I didnt hear the follow up voice line but My mei once said in the start room "Winston, I think this calculation is wrong".
Silly Gorilla! writing numbers..
Hog has a pretty good ult. Great for knocking mooks offa points. Super good when used in conjunction with Lucio or Zarya's ult.
