Dorado's openness works for Pharah in the same way it works for the snipers, because it requires other players to expose themselves to move across large portions of the map. She uses her aerial skills to cross that ground more quickly, varies her flight pattern, swoops in on weakened opponents for easy kills, and unleashes her ultimate on players too caught up in their street fight to avoid the barrage of missiles coming their way. And while I have seen players call for focus fire on Pharah (and other targets), rarely have I ever seen a group of players forgo killing each other to actually do it in FFA. Pharah can win a Chateau, I've seen it happen plenty of times; but more often I've seen others start avoiding the exterior spaces she patrols only to fall victim to attacks from Junkrat and Symmetra in the interior spaces. They will outpace Pharah almost every time.
Torbjorn players I've seen win Dorado will set up like the snipers, placing their turret in areas of the map outside the vault where they can pick off players who cross into open air; as you said a lot of fighting takes place in the vault, and weakened survivors can find themselves picked off while looking for the nearest health pack (unless you risk waiting around for the big one in the vault to regenerate). They'll use their ultimate to defend against assaults on their position, more often than not taking down the attacker and getting bonus kills on anyone unfortunate to wander out into the killing field afterward. Torbjorn players I've seen on Eichenwalde tend to set up in the same spots: the elevated bridge, or in sight of the big health pack. The former is risky, and the latter works until everyone knows you're there, and then they simply avoid that area or a Junkrat/Hanzo wipes you out with his ult.

My favorite spot for a turret on Eichenwalde was the star here: It had great coverage of the big bridge, and could usually get "headshots" of people down the ramp slightly. Plus people jumping off the small bridge trying to run away.

That's another risky spot to me; it's a major intersection so it's always in the middle of the action with multiple lanes of approach to try to defend. Plus Eichenwalde is a map favored by snipers, and you're in clear sight of any Widowmaker or Hanzo at the opposite end.
Even on Normal it gets ridiculous at the 3rd star. Not even sure how much tougher it gets above that.
It's a big improvement over that dumb mask, and he looks like an actual European vampire. If Soldier: 76 can have several skins without his, then why isn't Reaper exempt from this?
Trust me, it becomes borderline unfair on Legendary Difficulty. I was with a group with Zenyatta (Me), Hanzo, Torbjorn, and McCree, and we barely last up to 8/12 rounds.
Not sure if anyone here is going, but the floor map for blizzcon is out. Overwatch has a demo area so whatever they have to show, you'll probably be able to try:
You can also see how the arena will be set up for world cup. Looks like they will be using the full seating capacity with the stage in the middle instead of how they've done it the past few years for SC2:

Playing mystery heroes and the values are lower for the most part.
Winston (apparently) has a new highlight intro, if this trailer is anything to go by.

Can Junkrat get deleted from this game already? He's in every game now and it's always the same bullshit. Fuck this character.
Kewwwwl!

It's basically taken from his animated short, which was pretty cool.
Jeff had mentioned that skins are the only thing that will be exclusive for Blizzcon. Don't worry about anything else.
There are so many one trick syms in masters. actually scary. Only been playing for four hours in masters and i already confuse a what im seeing. I've never actually cared about one tricks prior to making it here but they do bring down the quality of games immensely. and then they're never in voice either. At least the dps are dependable for the most part.
I thought GAF said dumb asses are diamond and below.

Farthest I've gotten on normal endless so far is Bonus 14. Team of Zen, Torb, McCree, Hanzo
I wonder wants the optimal team on endless.
Genji has one of the highest skill ceilings in the game. As you get up the ladder the difference between a deadweight genji and a good one easily becomes apparent.

As much as I bag on him, he requires skill.
But the ability for him to snowball with momentum via chaining those dashes, being tricky to hit, deflect and having an incredibly strong ult mean that even my rare and mediocre Genji play has had moments where I've suddenly pulled a murder spree out of the bag.
Which in turn is probably why so many play as him, those few good moments one can have in a sea of inaccurate dealings seem to convince a lot of people they're good Genji players.
I do however still have a plenty of problems with how the high skill cap allows the really skilled Genji players to go to town in a way few other characters can match.

I duuuunno. This guy seems like easy mode to me. I think I've found my new insta-win pick. To be fair though, I only fuck around in qp these days.

This felt great, I had to share it.

Spent the match trying to outflank the flankers, getting the drop on them before they did us, but their Mercy kept rezzing so the timing of that little moment there at the end made my afternoon.

Think the rest of the Overwatch League teams will have their actual team names by Blizzcon?
We just have the Dallas Fuel and the Shanghai Dragons right now I think.

I'd like a no healing mode.
Why is the game so ded? No one's playing, it takes like 2 minutes to find a game and the average is like low gold between new accounts and actual gold players in both teams. And of course, no healers.
Edit: nvm, now it's diamonds, masters and gm. But still, not a lot of people if it has to do this.

The game had too many shields even before Orisa launched.

Cuz overwatch sucks.
To be honest I really like Zarya's skin for this event, it's probably my favourite one. Only issue is that it doesn't really fit into the Halloween theme. Her last two skins have been really good.
Because Orisa's is up 24/7 and she's in every game.

What tips would you recommend for playing Genji? I've tried him out but I cant seem to make it click.

Damm, Mercy is pretty much a forced pick right now.
I am so tempted to buy Symm skin at the spot and not grind arcade boxes

Someone at brain trust HQ thinks that Orisa' shield cooldown needs to be super short.

Tracer is too good, I feel like a god.
If your team is making no progress then it's better to pick characters with more mobility that can bypass the shields.
Or just Bastion/Junkrat on attack and detroy all the shields. All of them.
Oh you.

Why are there so many DPS in this game?
Maybe you guys should play call of duty?

You see, I knew it, and everyone laughed but I fucking knew it. I've been calling Zenyatta the devil but this just confirms it. The proof is in the pudding people. Did anyone really believe this omnic monk shtick? Not I. I was not fooled one bit. Not one bit at all and now there is SOLID proof. How did you did he attained the power to cast evil on someone in a match? He made a dark deal. There's a good reason Zarya doesn't trust him. Look at it this way, did he willingly leave the Shambali or was he kicked out because of his dirty satanery. And then BOOM Mondatta assassinated. Now I've been verse in Overwatch lore and I have to say that's no simple coincidence. When he said "death is whimsical today" he meant Mondatta. And now he's just waiting for the right time to strike. They say the leader of Talon has never truly been revealed, but this might be the front of such evil.
Mark my words, never trust an omnic people.
