I've been meaning to try Roadhog. Maybe tonight if I get done all my ****.

Also... a good Bastion... how 2 counter?

From behind, his power core on the back (glowing blue cube) takes double damage.

Playing characters that can get into this position easily, like Genji or Tracer, can work.

Genji can also deal with bastion by reflecting his shots with his E, along with some other focus fire from teammates.

Okay. Never played either. Will practice tonight if I have time.

Is 76 the guy from training mode with special aim Q ability?

Yep that's 76, I also find that roadhog can be effective as hooking bastion takes him out of sentry mode, you just have to hook him before you die.

I was thinking about the hookshot. That is awesome that it works. Some people have made me very jealous of how well they Roadhog, while others make it just look miserable.

[dohbot]

For me it's not that bad, it might take a bit of practice to land some of the harder hooks but it's really awesome when you throw out a hook really far and pull in someone you weren't expecting.

Most video game characters with grappling moves are like that though.  If you can nail those hard grabs you're ballin' but if you can't you're just a scrub )

the only tru hooker is pudge

[tjcaustin]

I've had decent luck with McCree and Widowmaker countering Bastion, too.  Can usually pick him off at range.

jesus dude

your winrate with widow is insane too

[Sifo]

lol she's the only character with an AWP

[absyrd]

I wish I had Sifo skills.

And I figured out my Bastion problem for now... Reinhardt tackle. He can be very fun to play when aggressive.

I love Reinhardt, he's a blast to play as, especially on escort missions.

I have been getting stomped the last couple nights   It seems like there is little to no actual matchmaking, as I'm not even level 10 yet and I keep ending up against people in their 30s and 40s.

Level doesn't mean too much, just cuz they played more doesn't mean they're good ^^

Exactly,  just like on csgo,  I have the 5year veteran coin because I played older versions of the game, not cause I'm good!

I guess that makes sense, I've been out of the FPS game for awhile too so maybe I just suck

[Sifo]

Pick McCree or Widowmaker = free wins

[clacktalk]

ask me who's the best genji

bc it's not me

[Kompanion]

Pick McCree or Widowmaker = free wins

now you sound like esoomenona

It's different with sifo because he's the one getting those wins with mccree or widowmaker.

[fknraiden]

absyrd, I'm doing mine on an i3 with 16 GB of RAM and a 860m/750ti equivalent. Runs fine on a mixture of high/ultra settings with a few things toned down to low (e.g. local fog) at 30 FPS solid without any frame dips.

oh nice, I have a 970, and I can run epic settings and get around 58-72fps on a 2k monitor.

edit: hit me up fools.
fknraiden#1608
mainly playing mccree and tracer lately.

[FrostyToast]

If anyone needs a Mercy hmu.
FrostyToast#1563.

Except I am never legendary.
Never lucky.

[nmur]

solo queuing in this game is really bad. people just pick whatever hero they feel like, and go off through the map alone as lone wolves. all you can really do is just practice with specific heroes, give up all hope of coordination.

playing in a 6-man with voice chat on the other hand is a fantastic experience. i encourage everyone who's mostly played alone to join a party. i was fortunate that most of the people i played csgo with migrated to this game tho.

[piemancoder]

I'm not the best (and i just got he game today), but if anyone wants to add me, piemancoder#1834

[Sifo]

KDA went up to 4.18 but winrate dropped to like 70% :\ Felt like some games I just wasn't hitting shots and being impactful enough. 16 losses now but meaningless leaderboard rankings are looking good

[FrostyToast]

I play Mercy. What is KDA?

Same here, I know I suck right now. But I don't have the best luck either and I've been put against some beastly opponents sometimes.

best thing i've done i think

I'm adding you master. Ursus in bnet.

[Sifo]

Added everyone so far but keep in mind I most likely won't be able to play with you because I'm normally grouped with friends already or solo queuing ... never felt more popular than when people found out I bought this game.

[slip84]

Loving the random hero/heroine games. Seems like they balance a bit better.

[demik]

im pretty okay with junkrat. i just love the chaotic nature of his game play. plus throwing a mine behind Reinhardt and watching him fly is hilarious.

[Moistgun]

You peeps make this game sound dope.  I dont think i can afford it, in money and time in the near future.

Please post Gamecaptures though!

I remember how much I hate team games now xD

We just need to git gud

[FrostyToast]

As a Mercy main I can say that it's hard having teammates who can't pull their own.
So frustrating to have to rely on teammates being able to take care of things for you.
Though on the bright side healers make bad players good. 

[absyrd]

Here is what I've come up with playing 1 game at a time random through the day:

1. If someone is level 50 and instantly starts telling everyone what to play, leave game. They'll probably be the one sucking most.
2. If someone's mic is open for the entirety of the countdown period, leave game. The noise will only get worse.
3. If you want to win, play with friends on a consistent basis. I can't really do this right now as all my old gaming friends are scattered, and I can't find most of them after this many years of not gaming.

Despite the annoyances, I'm still having loads of fun. I really haven't explored many characters yet. I basically play Junkrat, Reinhardt, or Mercy because I feel like I'm contributing when I do so (while enjoying myself).

[Flyersfan1]

Any other Zarya fans here? I'm really loving her play style, and her ultimate can be absolutely amazing when used correctly.
