nah i played like 2 hours of dva at the start of season 3 to get reaching GM fast out of the way and i still feel dirty about it

Grayson Jackson
why would you nerf the dps when it's dva and winston who make the dive meta work the way it does
if winston and dva were weaker you could counter dive comp with more varied team compositions instead of just running dive yourself
is it just because you are a retard that only pays attention to what kills you? could that be it?
Isaiah Cox
You sound really mad, genji

very rarely play him in ranked, projectiles are just not my thing
tracer is more my forte
if dva and winston weren't so opressive mccree for example would work much better at countering genji and tracer.
Samuel Ross
well dva is tank so she's taking more damage than dps heroes. what the fuck really? how?
Ian Ramirez

Robert Turner

Logan Cook
The tanks aren't more guilty of this meta than the DPS. Dive existed before with Zarya replacing D.va. What truly makes 0 sense whatsoever is Blizzard decision to remove one of the only hero able to bypass Defense Matrix.

Does anyone just feel incapable of playing genji? I play tracer just fine but I lose all spatial awareness when trying to play genji. It's just...too fast and wacky for me. Anyone else feel like that? I feel totally useless outside of my ult
Jackson Rogers
You're just not used to the verticality.
Connor Morales
the aiming feels so weird. it's not like playing other projectile heroes...his movement affects his shots so much

Nathan Sanders
With Tracer you move in two dimensions horizontally. With Pharah you move in two directions vertically. With Genji you move in three dimensions. You'll need to get used to three dimensions at all times and leading your shots because Genji isn't hitscan.
Josiah Martin
this is another thing, I only hit like 30% of my shots so I feel like I'm just...not doing anything. Basically I play him and it just feels like I'm waiting for my team to get someone low and then I swoop in and take credit with a dash and I basically do that till I get my ult. When I get dragon blade I feel useful but basically any point before then I feel kind of disoriented and useless. I like...can't track with genji, it's really weird
Adrian Allen
Never because a Torbjorn buff is a Tracer nerf
Connor Young
>Turrets now do more damage to airborne targets.
Wyatt Carter
the tanks are the reason why you can't counter dive with the sort of stuff that in theory sounds like it should be strong against dive
Elijah Stewart
So I guess I have to explain to you autistic faggots why GROUPING UP is a good idea...
Lets say one person runs on the point and gets killed because they're the only person on the point. That one person now has to respawn, while the other 5 MIGHT be grouped up or scattered all over the map. Those 5 hear that the point is being contested and run to help. One by one, dying on the point. But by now, the first teammate has already respawned, and is now running back to the point. Now, you're all dying one by one on the point, or at the very least its 3v6 at any given time.
Ad infinitum. So if someones spamming "Group up!" Group the fuck up. Don't PAIR UP in the wings hoping to Rambo flank 1-2 people. Group the fuck up, with your entire team.
Jeremiah Carter
that is basically how to play him, swoop in with dash to kill confirm, or if you have an Ana or something like that far away from their team you 1v1 them
i cant stand playing him desu
Jack Martinez
too complicated, how about a straight damage boost with lowered range
Samuel Phillips
How about gas all builders They don't belong in this game
Carter Howard
You need both tracking when you're deflecting hitscan and leading by predicting your enemy's movement with your shuriken plus other projectiles you deflect. When you learn his burst combo you'll see that squishies will drop pretty fast. It's really about practice.
Michael Bennett
Ana is for intense breeding.

Camden Johnson
You may be on something. Blizzard actually knows how to solve the dive meta but that would threaten their precious cunt.
Brandon Young
Just imagine having sex with her ...
James Stewart
that's actually a good situation.
I mean, sure it sucks for your Potg. But the Lucio will get Ult charge for that boop whereas you wouldn't get any charge with Winston
Justin Brooks
You're a paranoid little bitch, aren't you? If Blizzard balanced everything around Tracer they wouldn't have let the 3 tank meta go on for as long as it did.
David Garcia
Yet none of the other tanks do it nearly as much
Gabriel Harris
I'll keep practicing him. Honestly I feel like I wouldn't have half the problems I do if the FOV were just a tad higher

When will the "Genji is hard" meme end?
Genji literally has zero techniques to master other than extremely basic combos which will develop over maybe a dozen hours top thanks to muscle memory. His shurikens are slightly difficult to aim, but like any projectile, their hitbox is huge. Also, since they're projectiles, there's a bunch of other characters that can be claimed to be "hard" for having projectiles but nobody calls Hanzo or Mei hard.
Furthermore, Genji has the most busted kit in the game in terms of damage, mobility, and survivability.
>Double jump which fucks up his hitbox and makes aiming shurikens easier >Dash which is one of the best mobility abilities in the entire game while also doing impossible-to-miss damage easily combo'd with one or two shurikens/a melee to kill any squishy in a few seconds >Deflect which allows you to completely decide the tempo of a 1v1, forcing the enemy to stop firing; upon the end of deflect you can dash to completely disorient the enemy, deal damage, and close distance so that you can right click while they're still trying to adjust to your new position >One of the best ults in the game which has a giant cone of damage; the only way to flub genji's ult is if you just ult at a bad time so game sense is all you need to literally decide a fight >All of this is to say nothing of the fact that CDs are reset on even a fucking 10 damage assist, allowing him to very safely engage a target even if they're at a range he should be ineffective at; he can spam some hail mary shurikens, walk at them with deflect, dash to disorient/free damage, then spam right clicks
Fuck this character and fuck the people who think he's difficult. He's one of the safest characters in the game with a kit that gives him so many advantages in 1v1. The only hard thing about him is running him against a Winston because you have to be extremely conscious of where he is and play around him at all times.
Pic unrelated.

Noah Gomez
On pro play maybe. No one played her on regular comp. Her pickrate was shit at the start of S4
Grayson Long

Kevin Evans

You must be new here.
Chase Adams
You basically have to think on your feet while pretty much watching how things flow and planning things out (well, for me anyway since I'm flanking and guarding the healers on my team all at the same time). You have to use your eyes and ears and try using high ground to formulate some movements, but like another user said, Genji's the full 3D movement.
Noah Bell
>>All of this is to say nothing of the fact that CDs are reset on even a fucking 10 damage assist, allowing him to very safely engage a target even if they're at a range he should be ineffective at; he can spam some hail mary shurikens, walk at them with deflect, dash to disorient/free damage, then spam right clicks
Totally fucking lost my train of thought here, but my point was that he can dive on a target that should be undiveable thanks to his retarded kit, then get out when he should be punished for overextending because his shit gets reset. It should be a trade, but it's not.
Noah Davis

Why would they get rid of it? Don't want to be too hard on the garbage players?
Jonathan Powell

John Morales
So fucking hard to get genji because I don't have Overwatch on an SSD and my internet can be a little slow, so genji gets instalocked 9/10 games I play.
I wonder why genji is in every other game at Master+ MMR? Oh shit probably because his kit is a skullfuckingly good and super easy to use after like 10 hours of practice.

Found the Mercy main.
Anthony Reyes
I stopped playing since dive meta started, it's just so fucking unfun to play against d.va and genji.
>preferred to stare through a Reinhardt shield all game
Andrew Rivera
>tfw team refuses to group up the entire match >Lucio main, AoE heal is all hes good for >no group, switch to DPS >get payload .37 away from finish line >die >enemy team pushes PL all the way back to last checkpoint >match ends
I'm the only one on the payload at any given moment. I can only carry so much weight. If you're going to collectively refuse to group up with the LOW DPS AOE HEAL, then you're rendering that player fucking useless. You only had to push it a little bit farther and you couldn't even do that. I had 3 minutes of objective time and you couldn't even muster up the strength to push it .37m by yourself like a big boy. For fucks sake stop being a pussy and physically put your fucking body on the goddamn payload.
At least when you hit Rein's shield it does something, reduces it. DF is full retard because it doesnt matter how much damage it absorbs it works on a meter.
Jordan Howard
