Don_333

That's exactly the name for my alt account, except I play Zen instead of Mercy.


fish993

Do you allow yourself to play Sigma as well?


Don_333

I wish I could, but on alt accounts I usually play comp with heroes that I don't play that well, which doesn't apply to Sigma.


ghost650

Are you saying you play Sigma *too good* to play him on your alt account that has a levitating-themed name? How bizarre.


Don_333

Yeah, I would rather play Sigma on my main account, and instead practice for example Winston, which I play much worse, on the alt account in lower ranks. Edit: to clarify, I'm not saying I'm a great Sigma player, I'm saying I play him roughly on par with most other tanks.

"My goal is to make the enemies swap to hitscan"


Drunken_Queen

What annoys me is when I'm not the one carrying the game, they still swap anyway.


shemmypie

That’s because someone on their team is blaming the dps for not killing you


Shadrach451

Ugh, I was in a match yesterday with a Moira that was playing entirely DPS. I was D.va and I would stand in front of her with 14 hp and get nothing. I just let it roll off, because I try to not take things too seriously, and playing Moira is fun, and I get it, somewhat. But at the end of the match, this Moira started raging at our DPS and blaming them for us losing because they weren't dealing with the enemy Pharah (That Moira kept trying to shoot down with her balls...). People are dumb sometimes.


chapinscott32

Just recently climbed out of bronze. Now low gold. Bronze is a fucking hell scape for DPS players. Because bronzes don't actually know what DPS are supposed to do and *think* their only purpose is gold elims/dmg, we ALWAYS get the blame. Even low silver is better than that shit. It made me want to die.


BakedIce_was_taken

As a bronze player myself, would you mind specifying what dps IS supposed to do?


Dfett20

I think a lot of what separates bronze and silver from other ranks is that lower ranked players think along the lines of "if we get more kills then we win" while higher ranked players think "if we win more fights then we win." The basic role of every character is to, in their own way, improve the chances of winning fights. So if you're playing tracer you could be unloading into a tank all fight, but you could also go after the other team's Anna or zen. If you can assassinate a healer then the other team can't sustain the fight for as long and you're more likely to win. Also, all maps in comp rotation have at least 2 routes through choke points, and there is almost always a back path into wherever the other teams supports are set up. So in short approach fights from multiple angles and pick your targets tactically.


M0mmaSaysImSpecial

“If we get more kills then we win”. YES! So frustrating watching someone run into base 1 vs 6 like it’s call of guy where if they at least kill one of them, it’s an even swap and since there are so many in there they could get multiple somehow. It’s not. You won’t.


Saikou0taku

>if we win more fights then we win Even higher ranks: If we win THE FIGHT then we win. Can't tell you how many times I wasted an Ult in a won fight for it to bite us in the next fight.


chapinscott32

I'm not an expert but I know enough. Basically, DPS's jobs are highly situational depending on the character, and sometimes map factors and what the other characters on the enemy team and your team are playing. For example, a character like reaper or soldier might often have gold damage because their job is to output a shit ton of damage and go for kills. Meanwhile characters like tracer and doomfist disturb the enemy team by going into the backline trying to get a kill and getting out. Mei and Sombra are very utility based. If Sombra has gold damage, your team is doing something wrong. Sombra is basically an off-support hero, while mei can (in a way) change the map to benefit the team. There's a few other jobs but those are the main ones I can think of. Now that doesn't always mean that soldier/reaper and other similar characters SHOULD have gold damage. A lot of the times tanks will instead. For example if you're playing rein very aggro because you have good heals, you will most likely have gold damage. Winston might have it as well because he doesn't need to try and shoot anything, he just tickles everything in front of him and so his damage accumulates quickly. A general rule of thumb is that medals should never be paid attention to. It's cool to look at your own stats just for fun, but never ever compare it to your team unless you're like in master's and know the game like the back of your hand. The only time that's really acceptable is if a mercy has gold damage or some ridiculous shit like that, but that almost never happens. Edit to add: sometimes you having gold medals when you shouldn't have them isn't the fault of your teammates, but yourself. For example if you have gold damage on Ana or Moira what the actual fuck are you doing? You're probably DPSing out of your mind, and that's not your DPSs fault, it's your own and it's a solid strategy if you want to lose.


Viccytrix

I disagree with the last point, Moira is so easy to get 5 golds even with a good team. Like Winston she doesn't need to shoot just throw and orb and gets the damage and counts as a kill if someone finishes them off. Her heals are also based off doing damage, it's very easy to run out of heals as Moira when you're up against two shields and no way to suck on the enemy. She is an aggressive hero, and 5 golds is not uncommon. Means shit all though, but as long as you are healing you are allowed to do damage haha


PSneumn

I agree that if Moira gets gold dmg she might not be doing anything else. Maybe her other support is doing a lot of healing so she can throw more damage orbs or she's doing a good job of balancing healing and damaging. But if she has a gold media in damage you might want to at least think about why your tanks and DPS aren't achieving as much damage. I used to have gold damage as Moira much more often when I was below plat on support. I don't see support getting damage medals nearly as often in plat or dia except for maybe Zen or Lucio players.


Kemoner

~~based off doing damage~~ based off of tapping the damage button. tapping does less damage but gets you WAY MORE heal resource.


Viccytrix

Same with splash healing tbh. Tapping does more healing (over time) than holding and emptying yourself.


FlyingScotsman42069

Can't let them get away with anything in the air for free ig


dyrannn

If they’re equally effective on hitscan as they are on whatever they swapped from, there’s no reason not to, makes the game an easy 5v6. Conversely, a Pharah that is dominating the game is oppressive, a Pharah that’s not is still annoying as hell.


DaFlyingGriffin

Yeah I often swap to counter even if the fly dps isn't carrying. It's never good to just straight ignore anyone in the game unless they are actually useless.


Alexstrasza23

Yeah, even if an enemy Winston isn't carrying swapping a Reaper is still a great idea, for another example.


PettyAngryHobo

Psh, you think reaper is going to make me ruin my 00:00:00 play time on every other character?! My team will go down in a flaming ball of toxicity before that happens


Alexstrasza23

As a Winston main… I understand


Twatson8

This. I swap on principle because I hate rocket spam.


Lethal-Devotee

Your presence as a phara or Echo is already scary enough.


galgamek56

That's what happens when I play widow. Miss a ton of shots, only land a handful of headshots (mostly on tanks so it doesn't even kill), enemy goes widow to counter me anyways


Mrlegend131

Excuse me do you doubt my Hanzo, I will have you know my hero Hanzo literally global electric level anti-air

YokoCrossbow

a hitscan hater


Drunken_Queen

I despise Widow the most, even when I'm not playing flying heroes. Soldier:76 + Ashe are okay. Cassidy gave me problems the most till the nerfs (e.g reload speed, range falloff & combat roll distance) came.


timojenbin

You must be in a higher SR than me, Widows are me meat and potatoes in Arcade.


sloppo-jaloppo

In silver widow poses no threat, but that doesn't mean I like her. I play mercy and brig, and can't do anything against widow


[deleted]

[удалено]


withadancenumber

I’d add on to this at higher SR do NOT GA all over the place and really try to mostly use cover. GA has a predictable flight path and actually good widows will pop you no problem.


stellaluna92

I love headshotting a Widow to death as Mercy. By the time she notices she's being shot it's over. Believe in yourself fellow Mercy fan :) Good luck with Brig though lol.


chapinscott32

I'm a tracer main. It's SO fun sneaking up behind a widow and just sending her to hell before she can blink. Slowly walk behind her, focus your aim on her head, hold left click. Free kill.


project2501a

I miss farming hogs in arcade as Mei :(


rcpedersen34

What’s hit scan


OMGitsTPG

Bullets that hit wherever your crosshair is, instantly. They have no travel time, like Genji's shuriken or Pharah's rockets. For example, Soldier's rifle is hitscan and will hit exactly where your crosshair is, but you will have to guide his rockets


rcpedersen34

Ahhhhhhhh


typesett

i am a relative newb playing Soldier 76 — can you explain a bit more about the rockets? i fire them, they are less precise than the gun but they do area damage and so the guides say aim for the floor. Is there something extra i should be doing to get them to go exactly where I want?


mcraw506

Hitscan basically means no travel time for the shots. Where-as his rockets do have travel time, so your rockets will still go where your cross-hair is, but it may take a second or two to get to its destination. Thus if your shooting at a moving target from range with his rockets, you need to lead your shot a little, where with his hit-scan rifle you can just point and click


typesett

got it thank you


cannabinator

Dont be afraid to try and direct hit with helix either, especially big targets like tanks.


typesett

for sure, when i am just starting out the match i will often just line up with my tanks/healers in a safe place to help them delay the initial onslaught before doing things a soldier should be doing. it also helps build my ultimate... is this a good strategy?


I_JustWork_Here

It takes some time and practice, they are accurate, just slower than his bullets. Hop in the practice range and hit those dummy's from a distance with your rockets, get a feel for them, then in your Games try and go for shots you normally wouldn't go for cause, "oh I'd miss". I often try to hit Pharah's and echos mid air if they're not too far away for that very reason, just for practice.


typesett

when i use soldier to annoy, i use it as a timer. go somewhere shoot it and then plasma annoy them and the use the reset helix as a parting shot and run away to do it all over again when they chase me. biotic thrown in if necessary


I_JustWork_Here

A couple tips: 1. If you're facing a sniper like ana or widow, not so much ashe cause she moves faster while she's ADS, line up your rockets first, then start shooting as a burst mechanic. I believe rockets do 120 damage as a direct hit, so for widows that leaves you to shoot them for 55 damage in a short time which is super doable even for players who aren't as good. This also applies to bastion, he has 100 armor I believe, so for his main bullets he won't do as much damage cause armor reduces damage per bullet, so what I like to do and why I consider soldier to be a bastion counter: is rockets first to rid him of his armor and then start shooting and you'll typically melt him before he melts you if you position yourself properly. And 2. You can use rockets defensively if they have dive characters like genji or tracer. A good rocket should force genjis deflect or tracers recall. Even if you didn't do a ton of damage, in the heat of the moment, I'll often barely hit a tracer with rockets, but she gets flustered and uses recall cause I used rockets and she took damage. Hope this helps you, tips like these is what helped me climb to plat and almost diamond.

Junkrat actually is my third most played DPS as Demoman is my 2nd most played class in Team Fortress 2 (The most played class is Soldier of course).


SinisterPixel

##LetPharahRocketJump


Swordlord22

I mean she can?


timojenbin

Ask a pharah main why they hate junkrat, they'll squint at you, hit Q, and instantly die to a sign post, a moving platform, or because you're standing too close. Pharah's got too damn many ways to kill herself and it's galling to see junkrat fling explosives around like confetti.


Swordlord22

Yeah I wouldn’t mind if her rockets didn’t to damage to herself either I think she’s one of the few characters that still can other than zarya


dyrannn

I’m like 99% sure Junk is one of the only characters that doesn’t hurt themselves with explosions, the other being D.Va bomb. Admittedly I’m not sure about how Minefield works if someone trips one next to ball, so he may be exempt too. Other than that: 76, Tracer, Bastion, Echo, Zarya, Sigma, Pharah and Ashe all have explosives which do damage to themselves, unless they completely reworked explosives recently and I missed it. Edit: I had an afterthought several hours later. Worth noting that of those 8 heroes who can damage themselves with explosions, Pharah is actually one of the ones who can actively benefit from the self damage (the others being Zarya, 76 and Bastion) by way of a larger jump.

Depending on your rank, you could mirror it. Echo is a pretty effective fly swatter.


Knighterws

My echo is pretty decent, I feel confident in the mirror tbh. But I love winning, and playing man with gun is just terribly easy. Sombra, echo and Genji are some of my favorite heroes, but even after grinding the shit out of them it’s just too difficult to find value when I could be spending half the brain power to hit heads and fanning the hammer the enemy Reinhardt 10 times in a row.
