So how are your games going lately? [megathread]

I've only played him for like 3 hours (compared to 120 Widow, and similar amount DVa, and 30 hours each on Ana, 76, Sombra, Pharah...) but I realised my team lacked damage, and Ana's nerf really hurt in that part of her kit so took a chance since we got rolled so hard defending anyway, but it worked out. Nailed my Tranq timings too, finished as gold healer :3 Would need to get more used to projectiles if I was to play him more though I think.

I joined the Insta lock Arrow dude train.
Haven't played anything by Hanzo for 10/20 games!

The way I am thinking now is that when I play it I can at least be usefull. When others do they are shit and if I don't insta lock it the shit heads will.

[Traveler Voltin]

Hanzo for me is hit or miss. All depends on teams comp

I dont pay much attention to patch notes, did d.va get a small buff after her large nerf? She doesnt feel that weak anymore

Bet that's working well for you.

It actually is, my win rate is higher then it used to be.

Nope, DVa got nothing. Maybe people just aren't focusing her the same?

She was never weak, that's why. Even if some D.Va mains even here cried after the nerf hit.

[Woobels]

People assumed D.Va was weak because idiots whined about her on r/Overwatch and the official forums all day, she was grossly overpowered and needed the nerfs.

However these are often the same people who think Winston needs a damage buff so don't listen to them.

If D.Va was truly weak she wouldn't be the third most used tank in the pro scene right now, considering how they literally never touch bad heroes there.

[Traveler Voltin]

Idk. She felt weak at first from the nerf but now not so much. Maybe i am getting better teams.

Probably just more people start remembering how to play her again without the 400 (was it 400?) armor. Can't facetank everything anymore after those nerfs hit, so she should be played more like a sort of dive tank / harasser again.

Orisa and reinhardt are the most annoying combo to face.
Any suggestions?

Shoot through the shields and kill them. Neither shield can stand more than a few seconds of focused fire.

Flank Orisa's shield with Pharah, Widow or Hanzo; with Pharah you can bump her in front of, or to the side of her own shield and panic will ensue. She'll die really fast and you'll only need to worry about Rein then who you can just handle normally then.

Yeah. My teams don't do that.
Solo que sucks for that

Ok. So basically act like an assassin and attack from behind.

I won a game last night finally. First time since Friday! I still can't queue with a couple of my friends due to rating difference but I'LL TAKE IT.

If they were good about staggering their shields so one is back up as soon as the other falls down, it can be rough. There's too small of a window between one shield and the next one to try to knock them down that way. Luckily, Orissa is super easy to flank and murder. I think you'll have a lot better time if you send someone around the shield to murder her real quick. Luckily, she is hella squishy so it doesn't take much and then you only have to deal with Rein.

This is obviously harder in chokes and on some maps but I see people playing Orissa on King of the Hill maps a lot lately where flaking her is ridiculously easy and doesn't even require getting close to shoot her in the back.

Learning any good flanking hero works, Pharah is pretty decent at handling them, so is Tracer, Sombra etc.

Most suggestions given were good.

That is what they did. Once orisa shield was down then reinhardt's shield went up.
We could not make it out of the base.

A Bastion works well also. You can burst those shields attacking from an angle or from the front with heals or a Rein shield. He will absolutely melt both shields.

I am going to probably work on sneaking around with sombra or tracer if it happens again.

[Tziva]

Pharah is really good at that kind of thing also, and harassing the support.
