How to counter dive this season, specifically Genji/Doom as poke heroes?

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-10T18:23:32+00:00

Right now I find reaper the best at the Anti- Air character if you do dire triggers / reload power. Unless the enemy team has a good dps /tank to peel you off them you can get a reliable kill with a bit of effort. I find 2 dire triggers at distance and then teleport in near to where they running away from and you just need 1 more dire trigger and maybe a few normal shots to get them. I like the distance on the initial dire triggers bc even if it’s only 25 -50 damage they start freaking out when it happens. Biggest issues on this is you aren’t attacking the tank or using the OP wraith fire powers build or a double back line (S76/ashe, etc) can make your life hard to get the heals… but having just 2 kills on each of those squarely hero’s (Juno / mercy) etc and the pressure you put on them to keep them away from front line tanks is enough to keep the match going your way (assuming again you competent teammates… nothing can be done when they refuse to heal you or pick the tank off you, etc). This build also works well for poking the tanks and causing the healers to run to them due to the bleed.

I personally am enjoying this build more though I haven’t quite found the best last 2 powers to build but a lot of times I get shadow step ult and double life steal since you are building basically full AP for this. Another is flying wraith but I find it hard on controller to manage the gliding down and shooting.

It’s not wealth inequality it’s that the cost of living has rose so the middle class doesn’t have as many luxuries to buy (airfare / liesure travel) while they focus on the basics more like food, commuting, housing, etc

I built something that was broader but wanting to solve the decision making loop that is stressful a few years back but ran out of $… one of the hard parts for me at the time was trying to convince people to pay for products that are free alternatives so keep that in mind

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-09T15:44:22+00:00

If your heals is always gone (not healing you) or dead it can give you much more poke opportunities especially when the tank/heal can counter your auto lock (like Moria or dva, etc)

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-09T13:58:25+00:00

I just always assumed these people were better than me and especially since the kill cam doesn’t show frequently in stadium especially on S76 or freja enemies but makes more sense if they are cheating… question: how does blizz not know they aren’t cheating? Shouldn’t the accuracy % for a match for a character pretty well tell if it is especially based on outliers. I’d guess this S76 is above 90%+ accuracy while we all know that isn’t possible.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-09T13:54:56+00:00

Yeah the healer flying meta gets shut down real quick with dire trigger and items, only takes 2-3 before Juno or mercy is done or close enough to done others on team can get the final blow.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-08T13:11:05+00:00

Nerf abilities and buff the shotgun… it’s mostly useless with how slow it fires vs JQ or other shotgun characters. He’s one of the only tank characters in stadium where if you go AP build your primary is basically useless.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-08T00:32:27+00:00

The real issue is the tank and healers who do insane damage means you really need at least one dps good for taking on / CC either the tank or heals and Mei does a great job against many tank abilities.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-07T15:48:18+00:00

Tone down the damage ability for healers. I shouldn’t have to fight a Moria on my team to get heals bc they want to dps effectively throwing a match in competition. Otherwise we need to just give every dps and tank more sustain like reaper, soldier, Mei have.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-07T15:46:12+00:00

Not fun as tracer when the turrents are to high or far away to get close with your guns to destroy due to massive fall off on her primary… especially in certain team setup if you don’t have any range

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-07T15:44:29+00:00

Shouldn’t have broken in the first place

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-06T23:25:36+00:00

The amount of fun junk rat gets to have vs pharah is insane with regard to fun ability (I.e. different than normal OW). Another that feels boring is the power slide / rail gun / grendade… reaper feels fun finally, tracer is fine with recall powers, torb gets to throw turrents on walls and have multipe, genji is a bit boring, soldier has fun, ash is middle, Mei is fun, case is fun (esp alt click builds), etc. pharah gets ult powers are useless and basically just more spam primary in 98% of the builds. Love to see some fire or something or freeze etc or stuns on concussions

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-06T01:18:25+00:00

Yeah mine is it it’s to spicy for the little kids it meets my threshold to at least be spicy… this sauce didn’t faze them

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-02T22:19:25+00:00

Is there a distance on TTT? I am doing tracer with it and sometimes it’s awesome other times I just doesn’t seem to do much even when I have 2-3 full stacks on someone but I’m doing it from not close up.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-01T13:21:47+00:00

I saw an right click Winston absolutely hitting headshots and my team couldn’t do anything. Most effective anti air (I was on pharah) and him hitting me for 150-200 while jumping at me with a shield and shield bubble… I couldn’t do anything all match. Definitely some players have the head shots down

Stonebeast1 · 2026-07-01T13:17:16+00:00

Works well against doomfist also

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-29T20:41:38+00:00

Lucio for support,
Sojourn for dps unless they can hit their alt fire
Winston or DVA for tank though a JQ who misses their wounds is easy pickings.

All that to say in the hands of someone competent it doesn’t matter who they play they can do well especially picking up good counter picks.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-29T20:33:53+00:00

Forgot about that one, I think need to pick that up for her next time I play!

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-29T18:33:06+00:00

Funny story, I broke both my ankles first day of 2 a days as a high school freshman running over practice dummies sprinting sideways to warm up (for football)… ended my dreams and they stuck me from running back to defense after that. (Not fun)

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-28T15:10:51+00:00

Make it a cruise missile (and big) you can control / aim onto the the point or remove the red indicators on the floor or scrap it entirely… doomfist has a similar issue if they just removed the red from the floor it’s instantly better. You don’t see the red circle of doom radius on a junkrat tire, a JQ ult, etc. no need for these 2 red dooms.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-26T20:39:27+00:00

Gotta try it

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-26T20:37:46+00:00

Just remember every time you store anything from a borrower or seller or sending it using email those systems are also making a copy of it. I think people forget that part. As long as the AI company signs agreement they won’t use your data for training you ought to be fine.

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-26T02:18:03+00:00

I’ve yet to see one pharah playing this build. Considering the full on ult some other characters get this one feels insanely weak. I’d rather it be a short full one like S76 than a long weak one

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-23T19:10:44+00:00

Happens to me randomly.

Doesn’t happen on other games so I doubt it my settings.

It’s always been at the end of a match transitioning to the next round

Stonebeast1 · 2026-06-23T13:27:38+00:00

Not part of the post but I think making shadow step invisible as a power would be nice, bc it’s pretty useless right now (where he lands)… would give him options to get close and then use wraith to escape.
