That's weird. Same guy using Roadhog attached his chain but was way off judging from the kill cam.

Eh. It doesn't bother me, I just sort of expect it in solo queue matches where nobody is communicating. I'm not gonna harsh other people's mellow and it allows me to think about alternate strategies that could help when I'm actually playing with a communicative team.
Also, I get a small satisfaction out of being the one semi-competent guy on an attacking team where they've got the rest of the team locked down but I keep showing up from an unexpected angle to harass them. I like to think they're like "God Dammit not this guy again!"
Missed opportunity for Roadhog as "Borderlands 2"
I mean, people joke (or half joke?) that videogame journalists are bad at games but...yeah. I didnt expect MLG performances but yeesh. Vinny I love him but apparently he had been playing Lucio without hitting E for heals, like how does that even happen, come on
Jason and Austin seemed to understand most of what was going on at least
Torb's already at that line of if they nerf him anymore, he becomes useless. Sure, against randoms, he can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but against people that know what they're doing (which is growing bigger by the day) Torb's turret goes down fast.

I guess Zenyatta's Discord can be equivalent to Krillin's destructo disc in that it can be overpowered in the right hands.
Now add another torb, a Reinhardt shielding both turrets, and a bastion on the side on payload and tell me what you think.

Because he has a family and a fulltime job on top of trying to play other games? Half of what he talks about is either how busy he is with work stuff and the struggle to find time to play video games. He didn't know a lot of stuff about the game already, not really sure what people were expecting.
I think this game really clicks with fighting game players. SFV is the only other game I've bought all year and I really don't normally get into shooters very much, but Overwatch is just the perfect complement to it. It feels like with either game I'm playing I'm playing a great fighting game. Just depends on which mood I'm in.

There are times on attack where she is damn useful. Get her to flank points and drop some turrets and that can keep enemy flankers from sneaking up on you. Drop the teleporter near the objective and you cut a good amount of time getting back to the front line.

Are you running away if it's 1v2 (or more)? Are you also using swift strike and melee in any given scenario?
If yes, then you're using him right.

She can wreck the enemy team on Control maps, though. I'd never use her for Escort (attackers).
I remember my very first game in beta as Zayra, it was Kings Row Defense and we just brawled on the check point, I basically was unkillable the whole match and got like a 40 something kill streak and was always max charged (I read a youtube video on how she played).

Ain't nobody putting Mercy in a box!
Experienced some raw shenanigans with Roadhog's hook while fooling around against hard AI on King's Row. Hooked me through a wall around a corner near the last checkpoint and apparently hooked me off the payload(as it was at the last checkpoint) even though I had been already blinked to the right twice and was on the health pack. Wish I captured it, was ridiculous, lol.
im expecting someone to press F1 and see that E heals. That has nothing to do with having a family or a job that involves...games
but hey I dont even think people should harp on it, but I do find it hilarious how gaf is so obcessed with review scores for example

Good point and good way of looking at it. I never get too angry at games but something about this pushes me closer and closer. I really should relax and have this mindset.
She's basically green latern, but best weapon she can come up with is 6 weak as turrets.

Just shoot orbs in a general direction until someone walks into them, it's infallible.

I feel like it always drops in that order when it's 3-1 white/blue like that. It's kinda freaking me out at this point.

So she's Hal JordanShe's basically green latern, but best weapon she can come up with is 6 weak as turrets.

Now that it's been a few weeks, I'm tempted to buy another pack of 50 loot boxes. HALP.

Wait until Sombra drops AT LEAST, Freezasaurus. Hold!
HOLD!
HOLD!
Oh really? Interesting. I just assumed each drop was a kind of dynamic thing when it popped out of the lootbox.
You need to show this to the Honest Trailers people, because you've outdone them completely.

Don't do it. They will release new skins and you will be salty and buy another 50. Wait till that time.
I feel like it's easier than it seems to get PotG with Zenny.
I've got it a few times with just like a double kill.
Maybe I was just lucky and nobody else happened to do anything better...
Nothing can be worse than starting the match with three Zenyatta, two Torb, and a Bastion... on Route 66 attack.
KNOW MY PAIN
I'm right there with you.
No shame, friend. No shame.

Oh yeah, Control is a different story. I'm mostly talking about Payload missions where your objective is, or at least should be, constantly moving. The teleporter helps a little, but turret placement to get to the ult is too scattered. Especially if the opposing team has a sniper/turret of their own.

Any tips and tricks to being a good Mercy?
Every time I try her out I find myself alone getting destroying being Tracer and Genji.

Vinny actually did well though. I mostly mean shit like Jeff just shooting a prop in front of him as Pharah and taking all of the damage lol.
why do they both link to the same post

Yeah, basically the only mode where she isn't incredibly useful is payload and even then that might only pertain to certain maps. If there are routes meant for a couple of flankers you have a decent role.
Defensive heroes have a place on offense, they prevent your team from losing ground.

omg i just saw your message on gaf
who would do such a thing

Wow, how far did you have to dig for that one?
XD
That's a very good point, actually.
Legendary skins amount to a different arm and gun color, and no one else cares what somebody looks like. Don't buy 50 loot boxes.
