    Yes, Reaper. It's very black ops of you to announce your teleports when you arrive at the point.

    I too like to end my incomplete sneaking missions with an airhorn.

    first 5 shots from his rifle have pinpoint accuracy then he gets spread (i think you have to do only 4 round bursts tho if you are doing repeated bursts to avoid any spread)
    generally save helix rocket to try and secure kills - it's not really worth dumping into a reinhardt or winston bubble to try and break it, for example
    turn on tactical visor and then get instantly killed by enemy team and cry every time

    rip the context

    i enjoy soldier 76 more than i would have thought. he does good job of being good at everything but not ridiculous and requiring solid play instead of fanning hammers and collecting kills

    But fanning hammers requires v solid mastery of your rightclick

    I um.. only recently realized that you only have to hit the right click once for all the shots. I was right clicking furiously in order to shoot faster.

    This is my problem I think. Well, I am usually always doing the side approaches now, but I need discipline to fire a bit and gtfo. Right now I try to fire until someone gets killed since I'm aiming at usually squishies, but end up focused down really fast.

    Here's my question: What's the benefit of being an Overwatch cheater? In games like WoW and EVE I can understand why you might walk the left-hand path because there was an in-game economy that directly affected your IRL wallet. But there's none of that in Overwatch.

    They actually talked about it before. They require a fair amount of reports, evidence, and will conduct an investigation (once the first two reqs are met). When they're satisfied they have an actual cheater on their hands then the ban hammer comes down hard.

    That's what I've seen too. Rarely have I seen legitimate players get stomped. But they always have an appeal process. I've only ever seen people railing once they get caught and realize that ban means.... ban, fo reals.

    This is such a strange concept to me but I understand it completely. Given that the people getting banned the hardest are in China, I kind of assumed that there might have been coin grinders haking their way to in-game cash so that they buy/sell unlocks or something. But it looks like it really is just people trying to prestige before the rest of us.

    Which is insane.

    Just remember that running into someone with the rocket dash does damage, and you can melee when you run into them as well for an extra 30 damage (I'm pretty sure this is still the optimal idea.)

    It's good to dash into people and start firing; it's also good to dash behind enemy lines, walk up to someone and start firing, then dash through them on your way out for the kill+escape. And, depending on your range, aim for the neck as much as possible to get some headshots without missing pellets.

    Edit: Also that you can Defense Matrix while dashing and it won't cancel the dash. Only shooting/booping the snoot cancels the dash.
