I play my ps4 on my pc monitor so my pc is on and next too me when I play. My setup enable me to talk and stream discord voice chat while gaming on ps4 too. Thats what I do with my other qp only friends that only play once a while now.
Owzer joined in my uprising games when I was chatting with my friends on discord lol. I can simultaneously talk on both (ingame or ps party with discord voice chat) but it can confuse them.
I am the best team player. Nobody plays on a team better than me. Fake news.

Im, 4-0 so farThat's because you're not a team player.
RIP Spain
but my teammates are always a bunch of French dudes who I don't ever have a damn clue what they are saying lolAlso I probably should be playing p5 or any one of my backlog but I'm so tired from work I hate to play games that make me think and read.
Do you play Genji in Comp?
Im, 4-0 so far
One time, I was in a Comp match last season and everyone was speaking Korean.

It's noon here and I'll be studying for the next several hours
I do want to play for a couple hours before the Jazz game but that's like 9 hours from now.
If you hit master you won't be able to play with us.

Not anymore, my IRL friends pretty much dropped the game
There's one who I play with every once and awhile, he helped me get to masters and he was glad that we couldn't play anymore because he wanted to play other games with me.I guess I've been lucky, last week I saw posts on gaf trying to figure out what's better full stack or 4 group stack max, meanwhile I'm thinking to myself.. I've been climbing/keeping steady with either...
You sir, apologies for the one game we played last night. By that point, gamer fatigue set in for ND, batman and myself. We were going to call it a night a few games prior but then Owzers got on, and then you got on shortly after... we stayed for you guys! I owe you some wins though...
Now that I know there's at least one late night GAF'er, I don't have to rush myself to get into the GAF group (it gets full quick nowadays). I can get my OW fix at night and not worry about taking someone else's spot for evening GAF.
No worries with the fucking disaster of a team I just got I'm calling it a day. I was the only one switching to try to counter the enemy team when they switched. Lost 2-3 koth because the fucking team just decided to not switch. I went rein to counter we won. They went Pharah no one switched off tracer or Genji we lost. I go off rein to soldier we won. They went back to two tanks and we still had 4 DPS and no one wants to fucking switch so I can't play both rein and s76 ended up losing. What a disaster.It's noon here and I'll be studying for the next several hours

Update just release on PS4 I assume it's the mei patch etc
I've played against Wraxu a few times. It's not fun.
YOSH.
Third most played hero this season =)
That's okay! No worries man. We'll get those wins together
Good, need a good Genji in our team. I guess it'll be weekends with you.

100% agreed, as a group we decided to stop at a certain point, but we kept going... due to the win streak and Owzers/Buttchin showing up. Had to play with my boy Owzers, he was there when I get diamond the first time and he was there to help me climb to masters, had to play with him! Then buttchin shows up... I rarely play with the dude and he shows up right as we're gonna end the group... can't do that to one of our own... but we totally should have. Us 3 (ND, batman, me) were just too tired to win the final game last night but we kept it pretty close.

Holy cow that was good.
The amount of pistol use in that video is insane. I think something I struggle with attempting to main Mercy is the decision of whether to use the pistol or damage boost a teammate instead.
UltimaPooh
Member
You have to kind of feel the moment.
I've gotten a lot better with pistol game as Mercy since watching her videos.
I've also been encorporating blocks to other teammates through out all characters.
The opening sleep dart block was inspired.

Her pistol is shockingly good. I used to look down at it but it can do a good amount of damage.

Playing Mercy tonight, I will do as well as the Jazz.

All this pharmercy talk... I guess it's time to main widow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yeah there's a lot of french people when I play alone too. When I had my messages active for everyone there was one dude that sent me a hate message just because my national soccer team won the euro cup in their country against their team. So salty.

Yeah I've always wanted to have a perfect moment of using my body as a shield like that. And maybe I could pull it off with Winston or a bigger character but Mercy is just so tiny.
I'm excited to try some crazy strafing like in the video tonight, it seems to really give an edge fighting the other low hp players.

The frustrating thing about Pharmercy is that I feel like we do everything correctly, we have the counters, we focus her. And it's still a huge pain in the ass.
I really don't know what the solution is. If the Pharmercy players are above average then its just really fucking hard to stop.

Sounds good.
You just gotta work at flying all over the place. Also change your controls! It's what is partially holding you back.
Also learn all health pack locations because like Animetic you'll be backing into them a lot during dights.
Yea, good Pharah players can absolutely destroy our team. Even if the Pharah is shit, they just survive much longer. Sometimes you just have to hope your team is doing enough damage to the enemy team and hope their Mercy gets yelled at to heal them over Pharah.
UltimaPooh

Like I said to Owzers learn health pack locations. Take guardian angel off of toggle. Your team needs to be spread out for a lot of her stuff to work. That way you can be zipping about
In her other videos she is constantly flying about dealing out heals, buffs for when a hog gets a hook, going up to Pharah, back down, whipping out pistols.
If you're standing around a Tank the whole game you're doing it wrong.

They deleted her? Hallelujah!
That was infinitely better than the Battle Angel video I did last week. That being said, I'm mid-gold and on PS4 and Overwatch is literally my first multiplayer FPS so whenever I wreck a McCree or Tracer on Mercy it feels INCREDIBLE.
My humble contribution: https://youtu.be/eKi3YySEin0
Edit: also, when something is an imminent threat to you that you can't escape, pull your pistol. When you feel that you shooting this enemy is more likely to save your teammate's life than 60HPS, pull your pistol. When you see a flanker that no one else does, pull your pistol.
Just don't lose focus and go crazy with it. That's how teams die.
Good one.
Yeah but it like requires your team to be positioned all spread out to let you do that (Hanamura B is ideal for it). When they are and you can, you're basically unkillable to anything but a well-timed Soldier ult.

Bastion. Worked in Oasis when we had a stack before, and that's a really good map for pharah.
Mercy standing with soldier at all times too, with a Zen helping putting a discord orb on the other mercy/pharah if necessary.
Those are good counters, but it will always depend on the other dps that the other team may have. I assume they will have a soldier and 2tanks/2supports. If this is the case bastion can have a good time, but if they have a Geni or Tracer that can just kill him with a bomb I'd rather not play him. But in that case I'm also going to assume that they won't have a pharah counter, so it's time to use her on defense and wreck their backlines with no fear.
Tanks are very important too obviously, D.Va probably being the best one to create space for the hitscans.
Since they have two characters up in the air there's no problem in using two characters from our team at all times to take them out, because a lone soldier won't cut it most of the times, that's for sure.
We just have to test it in the next games, if they have a pharmercy one of us has to stick with Lik at all times, being a healer or a D.Va.
It's way easier to do this as a 6-stack instead of playing with randoms.

Yeah thanks to playing Winston for a while I naturally gravitate towards health packs. And I've already made the toggle change which is neat choosing when to disengage.
It's really those pistol battles that are so impressive. Some of those 5x revives are so amazing, I've gotta get better about timing mine.
Nice video! You do the same solid strafe I need to get crazier with.
But yeah I can see don't forget to be an actual healer but something like catching a flanker would always help the team.

Probably have to lose Lucio and add Ana to the mix. Drop Mercy and have a Zen as well. D.Va, Soldier, McRee.
You're the lucky charm!
Speaking for a fighting 1v1 perspective. During a 1v1ish, I will feel more pressured for the enemy mercy to shoot at me with his teammate than to heal her teammate which I am 1v1'ing.
Thats why I will always encourage a mercy that sees me in a 1v1 situation to help out and shoot the enemy rather than healing/boosting me to fight the 1v1 battle. thats the case for if im any ground dps. As pharah, I want the heals/boost if full hp

Thinking back to that Numbani game, I actually neutralized that Pharah pretty well. The very first fight I was in a stalemate with her for like a minute plus and no one could finish her off which had me thinking that it wasn't working. But the rest of the game I harassed the hell out of her and we won pretty decisively.
I think that might be my go to switch against Pharah.

Yo for all my criticisms of matchmaking and the players sometimes, can I just say something?
Overwatch is just so well put together.
The audio, the characters, and the weapons are all so good.
Last night I was picking people off as McCree and forgot how good his pistol feels.
Then I got to play Pharah and remembered how fun it was to just fly around and not touch the ground for a minute or so, picking off Supports and dodging shots.
I think that's why I keep playing, really. It's just such a good game. My only complaints are about the players, lol.

Yeah picks are sometimes more important than sustaining a teammate.

Just yell at your teammates to die on point and if a battle is losing to just up and die for the Rez.
It also helps if your teammates are more aware of the situation and know when to die or retreat.
