Just wait until you have a perma mercy on your butt at all times, and just wait until you learn the maps well enough where you never land in open space and just go from top of building to top of building
what's going on with Pharah on PC? sorry, too many discussions went by.
We've all had those games, where you know you rightfully deserved the POTG, yet it went to someone else's completely undeserving play. Describe yours!
Here's mine:
My team is attacking on Numbani, our opponents are putting up stiff resistance at the first point, repelling us time and time again, time is running out, less than 30 seconds to go. I'm playing as Soldier, heading to the point for one last push with my ult fully charged, and let my team know that it's ready to go.
Right before I turn the last corner to the point, our Ana nano boosts me and I proceed to lay waste to the enemy team. There's 4 of them there, one of them being Torb with his turret, and I take them all out. As my ult winds down, another one of the opposing team shows up and I take him out too, resulting in a team kill.
That sequence's body count ends up being 5 elims plus one turret. We capture the point, and end up escorting the payload to the finish, winning the game. I thought for sure I would get POTG, with a huge assist going to Ana's nano boost.
Wrong. POTG goes to the enemy Torb "Molten cooooooore!" where he took out a paltry 3 of my teammates. If that's not POTG robbery, I don't know what is...

Ive had one where I had a 5 man kill, POTG was a Junkrat killing 2 people and immediately dying
I think it's because reaper *can* kill her, it's just a headache.
Nope. High 60s, people still don't on average. Well, lost a lot, but didn't when I was high 60s. Because, after all.
This.
A pharah with a mercy is rather annoying on console.
Entire pc meta is slowly being defined by mcree, along w/ ana release and zen buff spurring ppl on to play them as secondary supports. I kinda expect mcree to be toned back a bit, so hopefully i can go back to picking her, but for now im just getting repeatedly 2-shotted so yeah ima ease off on pharah for a bit lol
oh yea, they took away the dmg fall off right? yea, that's gonna suck when it hits consoles.
i don't get that video since i'm a Pharah main.
That's basically the matchup I had last night when we won and I didn't rank up. So frustrating, lol.

Had a game winning quad kill (+ D.Va's mech) with Reaper.
Lucio gets POTG for booping someone off a ledge.
I'm gonna play it on PS4. Winning is fun, of course, but I don't really care about competitive play. I'm just looking for something fun to unwind for 1-2 hours in the evening.
Is there some kind of clan feature? Or let me put it this way: Is there a way to restrict matchmaking to fellow GAF users (either via ingame clans/groups or via PSN communities)?

no clans and group feature is pretty garbage. you need to be invited by someone to group up with them. you can't even join a friend's game and be in the same group automatically. at least you get XP bonus when you're in a group.
i thought you were serious and was about to spew some crap at you. lol

Defending enemy player uses ult to kill 4 members of my team in overtime. I fly in to keep the game going, get 1 kill which gets me my ult, rez all 4 teammates which gives us the final push to win.
Enemy ult gets PotG.

I think the % of health removed is a key component to the PotG.
Like, Environmental kills are almost always a 100%.
Multi kills, espeically ones involving Ults, involve teammates chipping away at damage.
So you might have seen this:
Lucio - 17
Reaper - 12
Roadhog - 25
Genji - 42
Which seems impressive, but doesn't technically beat out Lucio's "Reaper - 100"
Yeah. I've always wanted that. I've faced a Pharah w/ pocket mercy combo once on console but it was on a level 72 team but we lost because it was a great level 72 team and we were level 62.
I'm not saying that it's super easy to take down a Pharah but keeping her at a distance mitigates her effectiveness tremendously. With the GAF crew that I roll with, any time we face a Pharah that's getting on our nerves, one of us switches to Soldier 76 and it just keeps her at bay and keeps her from just dominating us. Entire momentum of matches including escort and king of the hill matches changed when one of us pays attention to Pharah.
Keep in mind that my experience with Competitive Overwatch is colored by the fact that I never play solo.

I'll ride with you homie, unless you're from the UK in which case we would lag each other too much to enjoy the game. PSN: killdatninja
I'm usually on around 5pm-11pm pst, normally at least duo-queuing with friends.
Hard defense match on King's Row, reds made steady progress throughout - nothing we could do to stop them, it seemed, so in desperation I went Reaper to hunt their Mercy.
In the last seconds of the match, I teleport above them, but they're all spread out. I possess myself with patience - keep hidden, and wait for the perfect moment.
Starts at 21 seconds: http://youtu.be/m08REPlCsF0
PotG went to a Genji getting a double kill.
Most issues come in when you're playing dual or solo, and both you and your teammate are playing the only healer/tank

The game has always prioritized environmental kills for POTG. If Lucio boops two people off the edge in one go, it's guaranteed POTG.
he's one of them. i do enjoy watching a POTG where the entire POTG is the Torb is just repairing his turret lol

She is not off the table unless you are rank 80 playing against ESL teams every match.
It gets there when Sony has approved the patch, it's out of Blizzards hands at this point.
Should be out tomorrow or early next week.
Here's hoping we get a nice surprise tomorrow, just like when the Comp patch hit PS4 on a Friday.

x100000.
People think their rank 50 games are comparable to the pro eSports meta, but it's not. There are great general paradigms and patterns to follow, but the comp meta is definitely not 1:1 at lower ranks.
I feel the same way, especially has a D.VA main who can rarely use her in comp.
And I want to play as Ana so baaaad

random questions, but does anyone has any insight into when they will release the newest update/patch on the PS4 version?
Not that im particularly gotlike w/ her, but im getting shot down and shooting pharahs down way faster than last patch so for me at least it's not worth the effort to play her and if i see a pharah on the other team im pretty happy. Im only ~60 tho and i do see some pharahs getting away w/ things they shouldnt be getting away with but yeah in general havent seen a terribly effective one since ptr and the patch drop.
But i mean ofc if something is working for u continue with it, shes just not doing much for or against me and i attribute that to the patch

Thanks, always good to read more about Overwatch lore
Tomorrow or next week is the best chance. Later on if Blizzard isn't ready yet.

I haven't tossed you, or anyone really, invites lately.
Work stuff has been getting intense so I've been using this game as a decompression i.e. playing while getting rapidly, increasingly hammered.
I don't want to wreck anyone's rank or be a...pause...letdown.

I love ramming people with D.Va especially the Pharah that think she's safe flying around spamming rockets.

I know I've had Defend matches as Lucio where the only time payload progress stopped was when I was dancing on it.

What are the high level comp teams looking like right now, with no more hero stacking?
It's incredible how good Zen feels to play now. I'm contributing and getting complimented, and I'm a pretty mediocre Zen.
Time to invest in a skin...
I just wish his alt fire shot all his orbs at once but I guess that's too strong.

Range probably needs to come back down a touch. Or if his range stays as is, take down his left click damage a little bit so that he isn't a mini sniper.
I don't get Gold Elims for Lucio but I often get Gold Obj. Elims with him. Besides, don't you want your Lucio to be reliably landing damage and contributing to elims? It's not like he can't heal at the same time. Besides, being able to land shots with Lucio consistently is pretty fun due to the slow travel time on the orbs.
This is true. However, a Gold in Obj. Elims is doable simply because of the amount of time Lucio can spend on the objective in a game match like KoTH.
My theory is that an average team of 3 - 6 is probably going to consistently rank higher than a solo player who is approximately the same skill level. This is a team game and many times communication and teamwork trump outright skill. I think a lot of the frustration comes from que'ing up as a solo player and having one or two clueless team members cause loss after loss.
This is why you can play with folks who are 10 - 20 ranks higher and it not feel drastically different, especially if they usually que as a group and are used to playing together.
Not if he's playing support, he won't.
Friend me! PSN is IKizzLE. Mid 60s, and roll with teams between low 60s and low 70s.
