So if Dva is totally actually super good you guys no really, how am I supposed to be using her guns? I guess there's some trick to it like getting the one shot kill on all body types with the scrap gun. Because holy gently caress the cannons seem to do Torbjorn turret dps.

Thumbtacks posted:anyone have roadhog tips? he's hilarious and I'm enjoying it quite a bit but I'm not entirely sure what exactly my job is during fights When you hook someone it generally puts their head in your crosshair. You want their chest in your cross hair so aim lower. Hold left click after your hook hits. Cancel into melee in case they survive

Just make widow body shots 125

Ddraig posted:Does Lucio's upper body have a much smaller hitbox than everyone elses? I can never get a killing shot on him with Roadhog's combo unless I aim downwards. It makes me suspect there's something about his posture/model that makes it so the typical killzone isn't there. Yes. Same with Mei. Both have a lower kill zone. So does torb but duh. Quite a few of the characters are actually pretty sure. Lucio Mei and tracer barely reach up to the counter in the theater.

Thumbtacks posted:help how do i zenyatta, i got a cool skin and want to use it Play him where there isn't long lines of sight for snipers to exploit. I like him on Volksaya for this reason. Always orb every one. With your E you can out damage most people in the game yourself. Just borb their face. Corner shooting with the right click is mostly a gimmick. There's no damage fall off but the travel time makes long range shooting typically a bad idea. Focus tanks trying to break through your lines while your team shoots the dangerous people. You always want to be behind your team, you want them to draw the fire.

Buckwheat Sings posted:McCree. The flash bomb is faster than Roadhog react after his combo hook. This requires you to be good at McCree's instant 2 gun unloads though. Another one is Tracer. However you need fast fingers for both. No. The shot is instant you will die when hooked. Also hog can possibly survive the flash bang combo anyway with his massive health and heal. Roadhog has trouble with Mei, specifically. And good widows typically.

Main Paineframe posted:Zarya. If she gets hooked, she'll survive Roadhog's first shot and she'll be able to pop her shield before Roadhog can get a second shot off. Also if one of her teammates gets hooked she can give them a shield to protect them during the stun and totally ruin Roadhog's combo. Also shield blocks hook

Buckwheat Sings posted:The timing is tight as hell but McCree can pop his nade and Tracer can rewind before the murder combo. Not sure about Lucio. That guy was explaining how that won't work if road hog hooks you close enough. The stun time isn't increased for travel time, if you're hooked closer you're stunned for longer after he's done the hook.

JollyPubJerk posted:As a Roadhog player, D.Vas are a pain in the rear end to deal with, while Winstons are easy to control. D.Va can also fly out of bottomless pits when you hook her into one >< Yeah but that's pretty much unique to roadhog. He doesn't exploit dva's glaring weaknesses, mostly her head box.

Brannock posted:Hmm, a meatshot into a gigantic headbox is certainly playing to D.Va's strengths I know this is like pages ago but hitting four more scrap pellets in her head for like plus 20 damage isn't good since she just fucks off, or man fights you and you blow your load on the robot. But most of the tanks are bad prey for road hog. A great Winston will buy enough time with shield weaving in and out. Hog can harass them pretty well but doesn't want to engage any of them really. Hell when other hogs hook me I usually kill them.

Yeah mcree is more area denial, which is defense not offense. Maybe Mei could switch with him?

# ¿ May 26, 2016 19:54 |

Offense people are about mobility and flanking. Mei can use her wall to get around, and her self heal is good for a back line harassment campaign. She basically fits the role as well as mcree does, who is about ambushing flankers and punishing tracers diving mercies.

Afraid of Audio posted:mcree is the kill people character, there is never a time where you do not want him Yes that's true, but I don't think he's supposed to be the "always good in every situation against everyone" character because that shouldn't exist.

cock hero flux posted:Mcree's main flaw is that he's got the worst mobility out of the offence heroes but if he hits you with the flashbang you are essentially already dead. So the counter to him is shooting him from outside flashbang range. If he doesn't just shoot you in the face with left click. Wangsbig posted:hmm yes the guy w/ short range instakill ability, less offensive and more defensive than character that literally puts up walls I'm just using their own logic. Offense heroes are stated to be good at "getting around" defenses.

I know it was pages back but dva can headshot roadhog to death at point blank if she can aim but it doesn't matter just right click her.Broseph Brostar posted:Yes its harder to hit people with his bow, but that's because he isn't supposed to have parity with Widow's ability to snipe. Her kit is completely focused on her ability to click heads at range while Hanzo is a sniper that can also deal significant damage at close range. But he's not better at close range than her. If anything its easy to spray the rifle into people jumping around you than to bow them. I know he has the E but that is also better on people farther away. Also you can still scope people up close if you know they're coming, and you probably do with wall hacks.

pakman posted:The thing that infuriates me most about this game are Hanzo arrows. I love getting hit by arrows before the firing animation finishes, and i love getting hit in the head by arrows that didn't actually hit my head. I swear to god there's inherent aim assist on them. No I'm not playing on console. Lag? Also yeah animations are weird. I play a lot of roadhog but I always get killed when I'm against one because his animations don't telegraph the same to the enemies as to the player.
