So Zarya's basic gun is a tickle beam, until your shields absorb damage and charges it? How can I tell charge %? Is that just my super %? Just trying to get me head around how the game works.

Voting cards at the end of a match should give more experience to someone if they can get five votes. Every character should also have a legendary skin which can only be unlocked if you get a unanimous 12 votes for your end-of-match card.

These are my terrible ideas, hire me Blizzard.

Do you actually get anything besides a pat on the back if you do get 5 or 10 votes?

Huh, I figured you'd at least get some bonus XP or something for 10 votes. I've only seen it once.

I had a game as Tracer on offense where I kept 3 of the attackers stupidly running around looking for me behind their lines, instead of pushing the objective. Being a pest is seriously underrated in this game. Keeping enemies occupied can be just as efficient as killing them.

Roadhog feels a lot more "assassin"-y than the other tanks. Compared to DVa and Reinhardt he just shits out so much more damage and his ability to harass back-liners is unparalleled.

Maybe I just play Mercy on lovely teams too much, but Roadhog constantly is focusing down me and it feels like the only counter I could have is my team having my back.

You just have to stay out of the range of his hook and you're completely safe. I don't see many flanking Roadhog's but even if that's the case, just fly to a nearby teammate and you're fine.

I'm having a hell of a time countering Bastion as Pharah. Peeking around a corner I can usually get off one or two rockets before he notices and starts firing at me, at which point I have to retreat to heal otherwise I'll die. If I retreat to heal, then so will he, and we're back at square one.

You know you can fly right?

Roadhog for life. I find myself playing mostly Roadhog and Mei lately for the self heals. If I'm playing with a good Mercy I'll just out Pharah, but other wise it's a 60/40 Hog/Mei split for me.

Those are my two most played as well. I just can't get away from playing them.

I haven't played Overwatch since the Battlefield 1 beta came out 2 weeks ago. Any big changes I should know about? Looks like the castle map is in, which is cool. Is D.VA still a badass?

After spending most of my time since launch with Pharah, Roadhog, and lately Mei, I started playing Reaper this weekend and he's a blast! Any tips on how to use his ultimate? I do not have that down yet, I feel like I deal far less damage than I take from enemy Reapers using their ultimate.

Should I just not use it unless my team is popping another ultimate so I don't get focused down instantly?

Step 1: Teleport to a spot above the enemy team.
Step 2: Wait for them to bunch up, drop down and activate the ult as you're falling.
Step 3: Enjoy play of the game

Ideally you want them engaged with the enemy when you drop.

okay here's a concept: bastion has 200 health and 100 armor, he has two modes called "walk and shooty" and "root and shooty" and he can heal himself, his ultimate turns him into a mobile tank with explosions

That will never fly. What are you stupid?

Yeah, the way Soldier 76's ultimate ability works, is that he has an"aimbot" type system where he doesn't have to aim and is still able to land every shot.

That's probably what you saw.
