Whaaat I'm so sorry you keep getting rude setups. :( Me and Moony finally finished our placement matches and had mostly chill people in our groups. (Also that video is pretty interesting, because I played Zenyatta, Mercy, and Symm for most of my ranking and now I'm kind of wondering if that affected our scores any? We basically switched off on healers, so if that's the truth that's pretty :I and I hope they tweak it for the next season.) edit: I mean, I've noticed that typically POTG focus on either damage from healers or ults. It doesn't matter if you, as a Mercy, bounce between five people and power them through a Pharah's ult-- you'd be better off letting them all die and rezzing them if you wanted to get kudos for it.
God, that drives me nuts. I can't count how many times I've kept a whole team secure through an objective capping/defense with minimal deaths and gotten next to no recognition, but swooping in and resurrecting everyone? Oh man, play of the game chances are high (unless there's a Bastion, Junkrat, Torbjorn or Hanzo around anyway). It's worst when I know that some of the best healing sprees WOULD fit within the time limit of a PotG if a game could just figure out how to recognize them. Darting between people with lightning reflexes who are across the length of an enclosed battlefield is way more impressive than a timely ultimate that you have to pull off once and then witness it coast to victory, imho. Not...all the time, but plenty of it.
I'm ranked 38 in competitive and have played pretty much only as Mercy with no issues. Goddamn people can be rude in competitive though. Not to me - nobody wants to piss off the healer, but I got a really nice Korean dude on my team playing as 76 and our Roadhog was spewing all sorts of racist shit. Thing is tho. I don't heal assholes unless there's less than 1 minute left in the game. And amazingly, a lot of them figure this out without me saying anything, and apologize. At which point they get doused in my healing and boost beams. If they get mad though I usually respond with "Wow it sure sucks when people are nasty, doesn't it? :)" and then they realize what's going on >:Dc As for ships, I adore Symmetra/Zarya and Tracer <3< Widowmaker and also quietly ship Mercy <3< Reaper Stuck my battletag in the spreadsheet, I'm on PC, hmu ^.^
I just played through a game as a Mercy where I got 143% kill participation. I'm sure this makes sense somehow, but I like to think I participated in killing more of them than were even in the game.
Me a few hours ago: Hm I kinda like the idea of Reaper/Mercy going from their apparently charged background from the game banter. Me, reading the wiki for story info: Oh Me, pupils dilating: Oh I need to amend that ship to Reaper/Mercy/76. Yes. Yes good.
So I got it for the PS4. Spent the whole day updating the thing because my net is shit. Decided to play around with the characters a bit before I went to bed in the shooting range just to get a rough idea of the controls. So far Pharah is the most amusing movement wise because she's got ROCKET BOOTS and can zoom up super high and hover about and also you can use her grenades to ricochet off walls and shit. Which probably isn't what I should be using the concussive grenades for and I managed to kill myself by concussing myself out of the fucking map but god damn if it isn't fun to do that. Just be like WHEE OFF A WALL and then BLAST IN THE AIR WHILE CACKLING LIKE A MADMAN. Truly this is the way of justice.
Junkrat is pretty fun to play, too! I'm not playing ow seriously cause first person shooters are the only goddamn thing to give me motion sickness, but the little i played on my boyfriend's ps4 was super fun.
So I know this is a few days back, but yeah the Fusha is the standard for writing letters and the like. It's actually consistent spelling wise and such. So while you might have trouble figuring out how to write a particular Musri or Shaami word you'll always know how to write a Fusha word. Assuming you know how to write it of course. As in MSA Fusha is the standard. Classical Arabic Fusha is no way in hell the standard and honestly most people haven't the foggiest how the case system works, among other weird details specific to THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF FORMAL ASS FUSHA. Of course I just have two years worth of studying the language, admittedly in an Arab heavy area of California, so honestly I might be horribly wrong. As I know it though Fusha is the standard for writing.
So I finally got to play it and it was rather fun. I started out as Mercy because that sort of support character is my comfort zone. I am a frankly awful Mercy just as I was an awful Medic, but at least it was amusing and we didn't fail too badly because of my incompetence. We won even. Wow. Now trying to play Pharah. That was a trainwreck. Support just makes sense to my small tiny brain. Killing things does not. I need to figure out how best to use her damned rocket boots.
Lucio's a good halfway point between support and more offensively focused characters. Your heals are hands free, so you can get used to shooting.
Lucio's also got pretty good maneuverability, so he's a nice starting point to the blinking hell that is Tracer. Your right click can blow people of cliffs on him, which is so much fun.
Left trigger. Has a cooldown. And a wide blast radius, so it's good for nailing faster characters of your aim is crap. I think it interupts shots, too, so can help you avoid Roadhogs and Reapers.
Thank you kindly. Also I am so sad Ana isn't here yet. I want to try the Grandma. I bought the game for her. SHE HEALS PEOPLE WITH GRENADES AND GUNSHOTS. SHE HAS A TEA EMOTE. I AM GOING TO SPAM THE TEA EMOTE.
Only a few more weeks, I think? A prepatch rolled through on PC today, so we're at least getting some character buffs/debuffs soon I think. I feel like the competitive season is going to end before they put her in, but WHO KNOWS. (Also ty Hydra for knowing the controllers bindings because google was bringing me nothing.)
Hit the left dirrection button, it'll tell you all your moves and passives. Can do it at any time as the character.
If you're looking into support first, Symmetra can be an interesting support if you have a builder's mindset and good intuition as to where people won't think to look. Barricading chokepoints with stealthy turrets can really swing a match and frustrate an enemy team, and her gun, while its range is godawful, has relatively high damage and unerring accuracy (it works very much like an offensive Mercy beam). Think Team Fortress 2's Gunslinger Engineer amped up to eleven and that's essentially her turret mechanic in a nutshell.
I looked at her and immediately went nope because of the similarity to the Engineer. I just don't really get how to do that sort of thing at all.
