As an ocassional Torb its having other party members double up on attacking it. If the majority of your group does not target it or target it at a bad time (like in funneling sessions or when your team is just not interested in being agressive on the objective itself) you're pretty much screwed.
Just ran into a shitty Reaper and McCree running as a pack. Still caused a ton of mayhem because no one broke them up.
There is a special hell for people who use widow on offense. I mean, we were in OT on the destination for Nubani and this dude just stands there at a distance and does not contest the point. Or better yet, switch to someone better able to handle the craziness of late Nubani.
Rage inducing.

Happened to us earlier too. Two McCrees is frustrating to fight.
Look guys, I'm fine if you pick Tracer. But just know how to play her. A good damn Tracer is so annoying in the right hands, constantly harassing the enemy team and killing the backlines. It pains me to see a Tracer just walking with us as a group and not using her strengths at all.
Same with Genji.

I do really great with Torb, but the magic for me is never underestimating my gun as you said. That thing does damn good damage, and if I'm pegging a target my turret is already gunning with my canon, it drops fast. Plus, Torb's main gun has crazy far range---just have to get used to the bullet drop.

Yea color.
Roadhog by a wide margin, ever since the beta.

No doubt. I love hitting a solid alt fire with him, just melts away HP.
Time for this Tracer to hit the hay.
And play a shit ton tomorrow for memorial day. Loot boxes and headshots would be the sweetest, but crappy drop rates and sprays would be the meanest.

Played a match on Nepal with team GAF and I kept shutting down Widowmaker as Mercy. Guess the Valkyrie skin inspired me to be a warrior.
Must have been a terrible widowmaker then

Yeah, I don't know what's happening but my winrate has dropped like 5% in the past 24 hours.
I've faced two together before but these two were nuts, got headshots on almost every left click and you couldn't brute force your way in with two of them watching each other's backs.
It's one of the few moments in this game where I haven't been able to theorycraft a counter. I'll think on it some more.
I just died inside multiple times and no Mercy resurrect can save my destitute ass.
Bluzz games usually update on tuesdays in US / Wednesdays in europe. Which probably means maintenance btw
Mccree's concussion shot is almost game breaking in that combined with his 6 shot spam he is overpowered in 1v1 situations. His 6 shot is already a death sentence for close range combat but together? If they don't want to take way his concussion shot then it should be used strictly as a get away ability like Reaper's cloak.

She was. Left herself in easy to flank locations so just ran around and headshot her.

So fucking ridiculous, yesterday a friend played two matches with Torbjorn and had two POTG where the play started with him already dead. Hilarious.
So what are the counters for Zarya? Encountered a pretty good one tonight.
Ah okay, Tuesday would make sense really anyway.

for some reason I just can't aim with Genji at all. I guess I need to go practice it or something. By far my worst hero.
About motherfucking time.
Only took 25 levels
Damn good one too. I'm wracking my brain trying to decide which McCree skin I want. All 4 of his are amazing. I wish I would just get one in a box to make the decision for me.
Thinking another 50 boxes might just be the solution I need...

Junkrat seems like a good counter to that situation.
He can break them up and allow them to be picked off by your offense.

She's wonderful on D, as anything that beats her straight out can usually be shaken off with a quick retreat. That said, D.Va's armor negates a lot of Zarya's damage allowing for successful trades, and anyone that outranges her can force her to retreat to regen.

Yeah, some folks might think it's cheap, but when I'm on defense and the team is in panic mode I'll usually switch to Bastion as a last-ditch effort. Doesn't always work, though: last match I played I moved as quick as I could into position, and Roadhog just hooked me and ended me within a second as the payload hit the final marker. But a lot of times it's a good shutdown when the other team doesn't have time to figure out how to flank you.

I'm so weak
Me too... Bought a third 50 and got mostly money. I think I'll stop there.
Anyway, I really want a new character that throws down health items like torb's armors. And maybe traps that launches people away. Something annoying.

I tend to throw it down on health kits. We had an enemy Winston who relied on those too much for health, so I threw traps down on top of it. He got some heals, and I got to send five grenades down his stupid fuzzy maw.
That would defeat it's whole purpose.

That's more on the other team being bad.
Lucio is flat out broken on defense.
Yeah. Taking out 3 Bastions with 5 minutes left is not all that hard. They just probably trickled in to the sea of bullets.
A widow on offense can be nice for support but they have to be really good. If they're just a middling average sniper player then yeah having an extra body on the point helps a lot more.

Many good players lose to Bastion though. Having 2 on the final point sure isn't optimal, but losing to it doesn't mean the other team was necessarily bad...
*Edit*
Oh wow, I misread, 3 Bastions... Yeah that's the point when you can just run Genji and have the Bastions kill each other.
