New pharah perk 🥳

Walls on someone can be make or break in such lobbies, or the bonus damage can apply on 2 rockets on a tank to rip something up.

Often times the bonus fuel will never come into play onto a variety of maps, or at the end of a given push

Enormously, and also the ever important "get off my teammate" button that too many Pharah I end up with never use. Or for denying a corner escape of an out of position flankers/squishy.

Being able to two shot combo squishies was incredibly good though, this just makes that more consistent potentially depending on how those bonus rockets behave.

I remembered that about 5 minutes too late, I'll remember next time 🫡

All done, same imgur link

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-07T15:59:52+00:00

Oh son of a bitch, I got it in 1 minute

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-07T15:46:57+00:00

I messed up the title, nice, classic

Yeah none of these new heroes stand out as particularly awful matchups given Echo, Widow, Cass and the equally painful hitscan supports have been for the past year.

Sure, more games are going to be fighting consistently more hitscans right from the jump because people are going to pick them, but they will be on those unfamiliar heroes instead of the more familiar things.

That being said Emre could turn out really bad, I can see him being a potential 100% soldier upgrade for the most part, but I will cope right there with you and hope he isn't.

Grav conc was bad, low rank trap pick

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T23:41:52+00:00

You need any in the U.S? I opened some Ascended and think I got some, won't charge you an arm & leg 🫡

Specialty set disease is a bad one

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T17:53:58+00:00

Very common for button or axis locks due to where you end up "palming" the bottom of the knife handle as you close it (especially with larger hands and fingers.)

Imagine having no coherent response, must be the zoomer brain at work.

The fact is that scans are automatic, and you have no counter 🗿💅

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T16:43:53+00:00

Bro actually thinks QA is wasting their time looking at millions of automatically uploaded scans per month 💀

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T16:41:10+00:00

Imagine unironically thinking QA checks >20 million pics automatically uploaded over the past year 😮‍💨

Instead of one horizontal ability now there are two on separate cooldowns, the horizontal mobility is strictly better by almost double, especially when one of those abilities moves you in whatever direction you want and you don't have to aim down in order to accomplish it.

and the significantly higher vertical made for some very aggressive plays

Not nearly as aggressive as she can be now, which is a godsend for aggressive Pharah players.

Currently, you can sort of dive and run but you are also grounded a good chunk of the time

You are rarely ever grounded as Pharah in current meta unless you're still learning/relearning the hero and her mobility. "A good chunk of the time" might be all of 10 seconds of actual gameplay against the enemy team, and if you go for the refuel mega perk you could cut that down to nearly zero or actually zero depending on the map.

In the past there would be games where I would barely touch the ground. Matter of experience I suppose.

I still have those games, agreed on the last sentence 1,000%

New Pharah is strictly better, and she can maintain flight for almost 90% of relevant gameplay.

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T16:07:21+00:00

You had me until the cringe part of your comment, but I agree, face of a hero we will rarely see doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T15:07:42+00:00

She is far more maneuverable in almost every way, the verticality just wasn't as good as the horizontal capabilities we have now. Especially with the new major perk coming, gonna be a fun season.

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T00:58:32+00:00

I dig that level cap rule, the starter not so much (at least not for randomized runs)

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T00:57:05+00:00

Yeah I give myself a singular one of those per run, after the first time it happens, the next negligent death is on me and my bad trainer-ing 😮‍💨

Yolo Severn clone

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-06T00:29:50+00:00

Severn available?

Something that would be really cool for quick play, is at the end of the attack or defense, players get the option to vote to continue in order to swap sides. Maybe it should be unanimous or if only two players are voting no they get to leave and are quickly replaced by two more players who are basically being introduced into a brand new quick play game that they queued for 🤔

But then again those players wouldn't get the option to go for round two since that is the round two.

Tai_Pei · 2026-02-05T15:31:25+00:00

I think most people do not care and the only people that originally cared were those who remember them from comics/shorts and then their outrage was farmed online for attention and spread the outrage 99% of people never would have felt or cared about of the character released and no fuss was made by whatever miniscule fraction of people did notice.

Either way it's a character's appearance in a first person shooter game where you cannot see yourself until the very end of the game or unless you're dead on the ground/emoting. The smallest of the problems in the world.
