Symmetra's orbs give zero fricks about Reinhart's shield.

I do need to get better about knowing when to switch. Symmetra can be pretty useless mid-late game if we're behind. I want to learn to use the rocket launcher girl. She seems fun.

I don't think any of the characters are really OP. They just have certain characters that are made to deal with them and ones that aren't.

Take down tracer with a Winston, Torbjorn, Mei, McCree or Pharrah. Take down Rheinhart with Symmetra, Reaper, Torbjorn, mei, Hanzo/Widow.

There are definitely annoying characters, don't get me wrong, and if the user is really good, they can be almost unstoppable, but with coordination, any of them can be completely neutralized.

Coordination really is key. A team with any communication at all will destroy a group of randos every single time.

I've found roadhog is really good about taking down rhinehart and bastion. But really sucks against mei, reaper and traced unless you can hook tracer

Bastion shreds through his field.

Has to be Mei on my part, it seems impossible to kill her while she freezes me and I have to sit there and watch her setting up the kill shot.

Or how about when I'm Symmetra, and so my team thinks they don't need a healer

Or when they expect me-the support hero-to switch to Mercy before the game even begins.

Is anyone else having issues with your group voice comms stop working randomly at some point while playing?

I can leave and be reinvited to the group, but still nothing. I have to exit the game and rejoin for it to work again.

Reinhart is probably the easiest tank to deal with. All you have to do is get a teammate and go at him from two directions. That or sneak behind him while he's focused on blocking your team's fire with his shield.

McCree

He can kill a tank in one go with a stun and fan the hammer. It's stupid.

I'm ok with the combo, I just think there should be a penalty for using the flash at your own feet.

Not really. Maybe if every hit is a headshot, but it generally doesn't take down Reinhart or Roadhog in one. Plus he is incredibly easy to kill. He is very strong in one area, but just as weak in another.

Yeah, the flashbang + fan the hammer + roll + fan the hammer combo is too easy to land and there is almost zero counterplay to it.

Luckily Blizzard agrees and has said they will be nerfing him soon. I would link, but I'm at work and cannot.

I played soldier in TF, TFC, and TF2 a lot. She's awesome because if you learn how to use the jet jump and hover while blasting rockets below you, and learn to use the ultimate after the jet jump and aim down, she can do some MAJOR damage.

My best 2 runs so far are with Farah and Bastion. If you can manage to get on a moving platform with Bastion you can wreck the other team's world.

Junkrat is a sleeper as well.

Well I know it can take down Winston.

Regardless it does too much damage.

Had a team wreck last night. Two in my party played soldier, I was zenyata, then had a rando playing Rheinart. I was laying down discord orbs left and right, and the soldiers were cleaning up. Was a thing of beauty.

I know he can destroy Roadhog, I was getting owned in close quarters the other day against a mcree. I would walk in the room, he would stun, then fan and I would be dead. That happened 3x before I switched charaters just to deal with him.
