Judging from your avatar you play alot of zenyatta. Must be hard for you since just about everything can counter such a low health pool.

8 hours played, 57% win percentage. Not hard at all.

Don't forget your melee. This applies to all heroes. SOOOO few people actually melee, even when they're in melee range and out of ammo. Melee is an instant 30 damage which hits EVERYTHING in a 180 degree arc around you. And not just one target, melee hits EVERYONE. It's like a mini Reinhardt swing with less animation time. Seriously. Punch people more.

This can't be said enough, i've got finishers on plenty of in your face players with a quick melee strike. I've bound mine to my side mouse button for easy access.

You can rotate Mei's ice wall by pressing E again before putting it down

Now that's a new one for me.

It seems a lot of people don't know this, but you can switch heroes after dying.

I don't think it's a lack of knowing but more of a lack of wanting. I've seen so many games go from bad to us destroying them with just a few character swaps. Even if you aren't that good at them, the utility you might bring could be enough. And the fact people have to change up how they handle you when you swap is also a boon.

Sorry for being a moron but me and the Mrs spent about two hours tonight running in circles looking for this in a custom game haha. Would you mind elaborating slightly? (I know you did a good job originally but it seems I'm just an idiot) or do you have a vid lurking around? Cheers buddy

The only spot that makes sense based on his directions to me is:

Which just takes two ice walls to get to and no risky jump.

I'm assuming he mean to say " its not in LoS of anything advancing from their start area "

Or maybe his description just makes no sense to me either.

This image is the place (IIRC only got there once!) Although it might be that tiny ledge to the right,

Sorry for the poor description was doing two things at once. As I said it could be the right edge, I tried to get to there but failed and where the guy is aiming now, is where I set up the turret as a "just incase". Like I said, if you miss it, theres no time for another attempt

We were talking about Symmetra though, weren't we?

I think you were, I saw half the convo I just saw the charging up and assume it was her charge from shields!

Ahh awesome, I'll try it out! Thanks for the reply

If you hit your "I need healing" button while looking at Torb or Symmetra, you will instead say, "I need armor/shields"
As Mercy, I hunt down my teams' Torb and mash my X button to a pulp until he leaves out of frustration or finally relents and gives me my gosh darn armor. What really happens is I ask once or twice a life and the Torb usually ignores me and/or only armors himself.

Genji's Reflect ability will save you from a Roadhog hook or damage from Reinhardt attack.

Zarya's ult can be put on walls over gaps to suck enemies in and drop them to their doom when it finishes.

Lucio can wall ride out of the well on the Illios map, Well.

Except you can't place a turret on that wooden overhang.
Tried that the other day when it was originally posted
(Definitely possible to get there though.

[Thelxi]

Spread out Symmetra's turrets as much as you can maximizing their range. Also don't be afraid to put them on ground level in combination with putting them on ceilings and walls.

Hmm, I wonder where the heck the turret is meant to go then haha

Might be common knowledge, but worth remembering, Ultimate lines are different depending on if it's a teammate or enemy.

Example

Ally Junkrat says "Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines!"
Enemy Junkrat says "Fire in the hole!"

Good soldier: Activating tactical visor
Bad soldier: I've got you in my sights

There's only a few now that I think about it, ummm...

yeah and if they are a foreign speaking hero the enemy line is always in the native language, while the friendly one is in English.

Ohhhhhhhh, good to know

except Hanzo... I think.

[WskyDK]

Haha, I'll have to check later. Not near my computer


Nope. I remembered. He says let the dragon consume you

[Tryuk]

except Hanzo... I think.

No, Hanzo is probably the most famous one :P

"Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau" for enemies and the ult user, "Let the dragon consume you" for friends. On the other hand, Pharah doesn't have a line in Arabic -- instead saying "Justice rains from above" for enemies/user and "Clearing the area" for friends.


Might as well give another tip. I hope everyone knows about Reinhardts charge by now :P He hits you and you get pinned, then die if you aren't Roadhog. Of course you can always run away from him, but he can turn by using his arrow keys to chase you. Instead you can actually jump right before you get hit and will instead be knocked back, leaving the poor old man without a squishy to... squish.

Edit: I forget Pharah's friendly call out, something about deploying a rocket barrage?

If you have more than 300 health you don't die by the squish.. But only tanks have more than 300 health (And Bastion I guess, since he has armor).

Here's a tip, something I didn't realize until I was scrolling through Reddit:

The payload heals those who are nearby!

It's very minimal healing, but it's very nice

Saved my life a few times. But yeah, won't help you if the enemy's focusing you down.
