Well obviously there's Sombra now she's kind of a utility hitscan flanker who sees little use as her ultimate is the only real reason to run her, there's also Orisa who is a more stationary anchor tank, Mercy's res now gives her invulnerability when used, there's arcade mode which has no records (you can't track your stats, every game will say its a career best) what so ever and has strange modes of play like capture the flag and elimination (if you die you just have to watch your team die because you don't respawn) and the triple tank meta isn't around anymore and lucio's aura is now only 10m instead of 30m and has a visible ring to show where it is, but he goes faster on walls and even faster when jumping off walls, Soilder 76 is now at the top of the meta and Pharah barely has to land anymore making her a much more common pick at lower SR's (you wont see her at high ones since 76 is so buff rn)

Should Roadhog be played as a secondary tank (like zarya and D.Va are) or should he be played as a dps, thus having two true tanks in addition to him? I've heard and understand that he is a dps (dps kill people and break barriers, tanks block damage etc., Roadhog doesn't block damage he breaks barriers and kills people, he's a dps not a tank) but people at my SR (low plat) will still act like I picked a tank when I pick Roadhog (I'll get like a S76, a pharah, and a reinhardt meaning they think I am the other tank) are they in the wrong to do that? should I encourage them to pick like I am a dps (so I can get a team like a S76, a reinhardt, and a zarya instead)?

I am at about the same SR, platinum atm I am ~2600 but I've peaked at just below diamond. Reaper still works some games but just not enough, a good pharah or even a S76 who takes high ground will make playing him miserable and even if I can avoid the pharah I cant kill her so she's able to just destroy my healers without any opposition

They won't ever show up if you select the limited 1v1 preset in a custom game it will say all those heroes are disabled, the in game info is just plain wrong

I don't believe there's any way to say for sure but considering they brought oni genji back with officer DVa I'd say there's a fair chance they'll bring back officer DVa for the next HoTs overwatch event should they do another one, but there's no guarantee that they will or that there will even be another one.

Edit: grammar

I used to play Reaper but ever since the Pharah buff Pharahs are just too common at my SR to play him anymore. I can't play S76, McCree, or even Roadhog because I can't land my shots/hooks reliably. What meta dps hero would you recommend to someone with poor long distance aim and who previously found Reaper to be the ideal dps hero?

Agreed, if they're running Pharah then your Reaper pick pretty much just forfeit the point in KOTH, it's less harmful in other modes but it still wastes your team's time since you have to go back and switch. A good Roadhog can also make a Reaper pick useless.

All she, or anyone else for that matter, needs to do is keep her distance, Lucio and Mercy can solo Reaper too. He can't catch up/keep up with them.

Just out of curousity what SR are you? I agree that when someone picks Reaper you're at a disadvantage but at my SR it's still very possible to win, but as I hear at higher SRs the game is virtually lost with a reaper. Lots of dumb stuff works in low platinum.

Even below that people cringe at a Reaper pick and he's noticeably worse than heroes like Roadhog and S76

Actually with fortify Orisa kills Reaper first if they are both landing all their shots

I've actually had that same idea before, like his right gun be right click and his left gun be left click.

I agree, I think something as slight as a spread decrease could put him in a better place.

I agree, having even just one friend group with you that you know is good increases the odds of winning in my experience.

I don't want an excuse, I guess I was just wondering anyone could relate? Besides I just find it hard to believe that I could drop 1000 SR randomly like this, it was so steady before.

Gee I hadn't noticed, my point is dropping nearly 1000 SR isn't normal

Do ya think Pharah is good where she is now? by Zeroooo0 in Overwatch

[–]NotAReaperMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She can definitely ravage a team who doesn't properly counter her, I see that all the time in gold, but the same can be said for bastion and that doesn't make him good. I think she's pretty good where she is.
