Just had a match exactly like that. But nah, just finish them and get the XP. It's frustrating to finish it out, but that's games with randoms.

Reaper is a crappy long-range fighter, so use that to your advantage. My boy Lucio in particular is especially dangerous towards Reaper, who can treat him like he's a jet black basketball.
Anyone long range I think
You've lost when everyone is not Winston.

Pharah in particular does really well against Reaper. He doesn't have any tool to chase her, she can knock him back, and she can always rocket jump away.

Put in some good work tonight. Got to 37 and had some great matches today. Really dug into Winston and Symmetra today a whole bunch. Defensive powerhouses both of them.
I had one during the pre-order beta where I crouched behind the payload on the final point while their team shot at me but didn't contest so I got the cap. Dumb moments are fun.
I have 3 heroes completely unplayed (Winston, Mcree and Genji) and one I only played a little bit in open beta (Roadhog). I need to change that.
Well you usually play the same team on attack and defense at least once so if you got rolled over in one, you will probably get rolled over in the other aswell

Who else running Symmetra on defense here? She's the queen of defense. Teleporter + Sentries + Offensive play wrecks offense teams.
I've got a 75% winrate on her playing 40+ games on defense.
Here's a POTG I got.
Yup. 2-3 reapers with 1 healer and 1 sniper and you're good to go. Diva while shooting is an easy target so your snipers will melt the mech and reaper gets free super meter from her

Watching games with RTT under 50 makes me cry salty tears. I can't get anything under 200.

"Finding a more balanced game"
Thanks for telling us we suck game.

Get a Zenyatta in there for discord orbs. He melts D.Va.
I was the only Winston.
Now THAT's a Symmetra that knows what she's doing.
You and me both, though to be fair the game plays pretty well at a high ping.

All of the KotH maps are kinda bad for her, tbh, other than the Night Market in Lianjing and maybe the Village in Nepal. Ilios might be her single worst (set) of maps though.

Yup, she's BEASTLY on the right maps.
I know, I know. I just, hope that I'd be able to do one competently... You know?
Every time a get rolled by a team, I'm like, "I'll give the same back to them." Then they wreck me again...

On PS4 and Xbox One, what kind of control settings are people using?
Since Open Beta, I feel like I kind of struggle to find stick sensitivity settings that feel ideal. Currently resting at Horizontal 22/Vertical 11 which is actually down from the default, and so far it's the best luck I've personally had. Turned off reticle bloom across the board, too, feel like keeping it small and focused allows me to have a much easier time referencing where my shots need to be placed. I usually use Soldier 76 as sort of a reference character to test my aim sensitivity since his weapon shoots fairly straight and his movement speed is relatively quick.
Still, feel like I die to people that have adapted their controls far better than me from some of the kill cams, particularly with some pretty amazing snipers and Pharahs out there. I also know that conventionally, high skill players seem to prefer higher sensitivities to lower ones due to possibility of rapid response, but I personally can't keep up with the screen moving around that fast on an analog stick (I am far more comfortable with high sensitivities on a mouse). I typically play console FPS games at default difficulty and often find them quite easy to adapt to.
Seems Overwatch approaches with minimal aim assist, which I appreciate. While the comparison isn't entirely fair given how much slower paced Rainbow Six Siege plays, I still think that game feels slightly better with the acceleration of look speed and its sensitivity curve, as I never felt vastly outplayed in that game. I feel vastly outplayed in Overwatch a lot of the time, and I've spent 3-4 cumulative hours in the training area trying to get a good sensitivity going... But I just can't seem to land on something that feels entirely comfortable.

I use Symmetra for defense like 95% of the time. Sentries are great, and I just spam charge shots when I am able to. Teleporter is clutch, too.

Again Pharah does pretty well here since D.Va does pretty limited damage at long ranges. Bastion also does pretty well since shes vulnerable when trying to close the gap.

Winston in a nutshell. Just got a POTG just by bouncing and hold M1.
I love this big fuzzy ape.
She's a fun gimmick pick, but I've yet to see her used effectively in most modes besides KOTH.

So...none of them?
I meant NSYNC. Sorry, long day.
Yeah that was fun lol. (I was Aisutron)

Symmetra is my first choice in defense situations... hovering around an 80% win percentage. I've actually been experimenting with incorporating Symmetra into attack modes. Had a game earlier today where I snuck a teleporter behind the defense's line on Volskaya Industries to great effect.

Vigilante McCree or Mariachi Reaper. Decisions, decisions...

I actually didn't even notice that mistake. I just meant "Reaper players" and "Backstreet Boys fans" are two things that don't seem like they would ever overlap.
But it surprisingly fits.

Zarya remains the most underrated.

It was a good time. I can't promise that I won't go manic with laughter while playing him next time, though.
My vote's on Mariachi Reaper. Do we have any montages of that skin with Jarabe Tapatio?

Every once in a while I hear D.Va say stuff in Korean (I think). What is it?
I think she says "I'm number one"
got the solider one, I love it. dude's all smiles under that mask

I refuse to play Zarya just because of her design visually. I despise the tattoo, I despise the pink hair, it just completely turned me off of playing her. I have nothing against the female bodybuilder design but I don't think the stuff I mentioned goes well with it at all.
I'm sorry to hear that the game missed it's mark with this character for you
