I think the new tank update dropped too.
It did yesterday but only in quickplay. I just played 3 games but wasn't able to grab the new tank yet. Definitely changes things as the stationary wall is really nice for defending. I was able to kill her when she was in the open pretty easy (with DPS).Originally Posted by Jomama
Getting better at 3v3. Solider76 is crazy good now. Stick together and heal when you can. If you over extend in 3v3 you are dead.
I got on the new tank 2x, gonna take some learning. The shield seemed awesome tho, and I know I'll love to use her second ability to pull people from behind cover.. But could definitly tell she's on the squishy side for a tank... (but really, every tank out in the open gets smoked).
I got in another match where someone else was playing her well. They had another tank, Dva I think to help block incoming, but the new tank was kinda hanging back and deploying her shield about 20m out front of the group and most the dps was actually in front of her.
Great tips.
Overwatch is free this weekend and only $35 to purchase next week. I have been trying to get Mike and Chad to buy it but no luck so far.
I like Orisa on the Attack side of escort/ctf. Some of Rheins capabilities with the shield, but the ability to do ranged attack to help push back the Def. can be a useful addition. Need good support and some heals tho or you will get smoked by any organized attack. Had a few good rounds with her, used her well to cap a few flags by getting in a corner with the shield out, little mini bubble for everyone to gather under. I will use her power-up just as the shield drops and by the time it ends another shield should be up.
If the def is smart and is swarming I will always go back to Rhein for his hammer to clear out close-range Def tactics.
I have been playing competitive matches and just picking who I want to play (usually I pick Lucio to help the team as no one ever want to play healer) and Pharrah has been my favorite most nights. Tons of random kills by just firing toward the enemies and booping ppl off with the conc shot is awesome (love to do that with Lucio too). I do hate snipers when flying around tho.
Yeah it certainly is. I was on a winning team last night that almost blew it because people started switching up classes for no reason, then suddenly we had 3 dps and I'm getting smoked as the tank due to no heals. Went from 2-0 to 2-2.... I shamed everyone into going back to the classes we started with (lol) and then we finished up with the win... Frustrating... Its amazing how many insist on playing dps that suck at it. Especially the squishy classes, they literally do nothing if they cant get kills. I cant count the times I'm leading with a gold in damage while playing Rhein...
Yeah riding the pillars over the control point.... tried and with my set up I can't do it very well.
Lucio is pretty easy - I use the healing buff 100% of the time unless it's the beginning of the round (to run to point faster). I try to stay next to as many teammates as I can (it's shows in center of screen the amount). When I see any teammate with low health (turn bars on in menu) or the "critical" flag above them I hit the healing boost button. That's it. When Ultimate is charged I use it when about to capture a point (it give a big hp boost for several seconds) or to hold a point. It charges pretty fast (or did) and I use it as soon as I can.
Extra fun is of course the right click boop to push players off stuff. It's also great for if a reaper or other close in class sneaks up on you - hit them with the push back.
