    This should be a required watch before anyone plays this game.

    Mei is fun. I rarely get to play genji, usually someone else grabs him first.

    Been playing mccree a lot lately when I'm not 76

    Mcree going to get nerfed imo. Easy move would be to not make the roll reload your gun.

    Can basically take anyone down with stun , fan, roll, fan.

    Yeah Mcree destroys anyone up close. The flashbang range isn't too far if you stay out of it he's an easy kill.

    Short range on the stun though kinda balances that out. Stay far away from mccree and he's fairly easy to kill, very squishy.

    I'm almost always Mei for point attacks. I'm Torbjorn for stationary defense games.

    Then it can vary. Mei most likely unless the escort really needs a Reindhart or D.VA.

    I've played very little of the attacking class, but my games don't fair nearly as well, because I've gotten pretty damn good with Mei and timing of her specials.

    Nice article.


    http://overwatch.metabomb.net/gameplay-guides/overwatch-counters-guide-may-2016

    Edit: Their hero rankings are interesting imo. I think they are (maybe subconsciously) taking skill into account. Any player that's complained about is tier 4. Fair enough, but if a player is being complained about from opposing teams, then it would mean that they are difficult to play against. Bastion, Mei, Tracer, and Torbjorn seem to get the most complaints from what I've seen.

    Nice. D'Va has been growing on me a lot lately. Hopefully they make her crit area while she's in her mek smaller. Still waiting on that Widow nerf, though....

    on the right maps and if the other team isn't trying to counter Widow aggressively she can basically win the entire game

    have to counter her hard if the person is good

    Pick one.

    I'm god awful at sniping and have dominated games with Widow.

    i'm really good at it, Widow and Hanzo are probably my two most played characters

    maybe not due to lots of shared point maps, those guys not useful on either of those much

    I'd say first step would be to lengthen the charge, it's SUPER short right now, seen pros use hook to throw themselves in the air to see over barriers, zoom to full charge, and fire, before they hit the ground.

    Not to mention her only real counter is a better widow.

    Genji, Tracer, Reaper

    three characters you really don't want to see on the other team unless your team is defending you well, protecting your flanks, etc.

    How much tweaking did they do after beta? I was reading some stuff on competitive and widow wasn't even in the top two tiers of characters based off rate of appearance in a lineup.

    She's strong but is it potentially just because of the nature of PUGs?

    If your counter depends on the enemy team being bad, it's not much of a counter. Plus Widow's ult does well to protect herself from flankers.

    There was one for both teams in nearly every match of the most recent tournament. The standard offense comp was something like Reinhardt, Winston, Lucio, Mercy, Widow, McRee. Sometimes Lucio or Winston would be replaced with another McRee.

    was watching a Twitch stream the other day and the guy said among the competitive teams the difference from the elite teams compared to everyone else is just having a super elite widow

    One perk of having a widow is that she generally provides a good escape for a Mercy.

    As someone who primarily plays Mercy, not having someone to wings to is death.

    Did they do double McCree for defense?

    For whatever reason I was just on fire with McCree last night and had 30+ eliminations for 5 games in a row shooting slightly above or below 50% accuracy.
