got matched with a group that always played the same hero, these guys were awesome lol. I picked something else to make it work.
we went through 5 roadhog and mercy. It wasn't great.
5 76 and D.Va, it was crazy.
5 McCree and Lucio. lmao. high noon from 4 directions, the enemy team was going crazy on chat.
This was so dumb.

A lot of characters don't have the option to go hunting for teleporters.
That task basically comes down to the attack class, except for McRee. Or anyone who happens to be lucky to flank.
Don't expect a tank or support to go wandering around the map looking for teleporters.
That aint shit. I played with a level 80 last night. I don't know how that's even possible. He had to share his account with someone or something.

Also which colour is epic or legendary?
Just got punk tracer which makes it my.... 6th? 7th? Legendary or epic at lvl34.

Played all Meis with my team the other night. That was hilarious.
Indeed she does, but it's not something to rely on.
I'd gladly play Mercy in a team with Lucio in it already so I can just focus on boosting damage for the offensive players.
Also who has her Rez trophy? How do you get four teammates to die next to each other? D:
I play Lucio all the time. We should try doing a Lucio/Mercy combo with randoms. Heal for days.

Are there any big tournaments coming up? Does overwatch have any yet?

Like it was stated earlier thats why if you are attacking and they have Mercy you need 1 good reaper or tracer to focus solely on killing Mercy.
Last night that's what I did, switched from Junkrat to Reaper once I saw we were having issues due to Mercy. Then for the next 5 minutes my main goal was to beat the living shit out of Mercy. Killed her 6 times and performed my first ever Quintuple Kill.

Should be "Helden sterben nicht" (Heroes never die). Although i've set my PS4's language to English, she still says "Helden sterben nicht".
Aftermath of Junkrats ult on a capture point map?
Got that trophy yesterday on Anubis, the final point. Five mates dead, enemies had emptied their ultimates, pressed that Q. We capped
Edit: Even our Widow was on the point helping to cap. Good team.

I've had a ton of success lately with having one of each on the team. Mercy for healing the tank or pusher primarily, while Lucio keeps everyone else topped off, and supers when we need to make a push.
That said, a team without a tank usually does better with a Mercy. Lucio sucks on maps with smaller halls like King's Row's middle section, or some of the tighter control maps.
Lately, for my Mercy playing I've been hanging out by a widowmaker and just giving her a damage buff non-stop.
She says this when it's the other team using it.
Most Ults have a vocal line that go with them, that line changes depending on if its a teammate or an enemy saying it.
"Heroes never die!" is your team.
"Helden sterben nicht" is the enemy team.

I got REALLY lucky on a payload map lol.

He can really hard to hit and he hits really hard if you get the full burst to land.
Your first point is dead on. That's part of the reason why I rarely play Mercy. I don't mind supporting at all, but if a Reaper is in the backfield all day, I might as well switch to DPS or a tank for all the help I'd be able to provide. It only takes a few shots from him to drop a Mercy.
When I play Tracer, I always take time every now and then to stop flanking, so I can hold back and see if our support is getting harassed. She's fantastic at counter-harassment.
It's amazing the amount of call-outs that characters say automatically, such as noting an enemy teleporter, or an enemy turret, when the enemy is capturing your objective, etc.
Oh, and the amazing call-out of another teammate's character letting you know someone is behind you -- incredible.
I also realized my Team Chat has been set to Off this whole time (PS4). I don't remember changing that, is that the default?

epics are purple, legendary are yellow.
lol I love joke matches like this. Had this happen where we started with 6 Torbjorn and one of us went to Reinhardt. And then another where we all started with Mei.
Symmetra really is a huge boon if played well, especially on maps where you are defending against a team moving the payload or capturing a point. Being able to get a teleporter up that gets your team mates back in the fight quicker means your team can play a more aggressive game and not worry about deaths so much.
If they have the teleporter to quickly get back to the payload then they can fight close enough to it to keep it stalled and contested until the clock runs out. Even if they die more, they can get back in to the fight and keep the pressure on.
And then you have her beam weapons that go through shields and generally annoy and harass flankers. I took out Widowmaker, Tracer and Junkrat last night in the same game by being sneaky with my turrets and beam gun. Junkrat was the best because I caught him as he started his Ult and killed him while his fingers were in his ears, which was hilarious.
Symmetra is not for every situation though. I wouldn't say she's as universally useful as a Soldier 76 or Lucio. Maybe when I learn more about her and the maps I will re-evaluate my opinion.

You get the rewards for the other Blizzard games.

Hanzo can provide that to teammates as well, but for a shorter duration.
PlayOverwatch.com can look at your stats I think. Haven't noticed anything else and not 100% on the stats either but I think that is what it does.
EIDT: Nvm. Seems to be for rewards in other games.
I think Team Chat is on by default so you probably switched it off at some point.
It's Attack on Volskaya and the during character select someone on the team starts telling everyone to go Winston. "Everyone! Entire team Winston! Go go!" You could sense the skepticism and doubt from the team of randoms but then slowly a few picked Winston. "Everyone! Whole team must pick Winston!" Then a few more... And while we didn't end up with a full team of Winstons, we did have four plus heals (Mercy despite our Winston strategist pleading for a Lucio instead) and I think a Soldier 76 who didn't want to play along.
I'll admit I was pretty skeptical myself but DAMN. The Winston Army Rush is no joke. We won with ease before they knew what him 'em.

Yep, it's the default. I really wish it wasn't because I doubt many people realize it. I know I didn't until I went to check.
And yeah, the character call-outs are sweet. It's nice to know what to keep an eye out for, particularly the teleporters. Those are so underrated as game-changers. I can't stand it when people run right by them.
Auto-join chat is default on. But Team Chat as an option was a default No. At least, for me it was. And I'd been talking into the headset for days...

Had some really bad experiences playing Mercy. The team splits up all over the place and gets picked off one by one. Never watch for flanks. With Lucio you can at least shoot and retreat and feel like you are doing something. Playing such heavily teamplay orientated characters can be painful but if you have momentum as a team a Mercy will snowball your victory like crazy.

She's near worthless on payload maps on the attacking team. She doesn't have time to setup shop, and even if she does, she's needs something to bait the enemy team into her turrets.
I'm aware, but he ALWAYS had it, and different spots on the map. I don't remember if they had a Hanzo or not. I wish I recorded the game so I could see.

Still, i believe it should be "Helden sterben nicht" if one's console language is set to German ... would be strange if the game is fully translated and localised and then one hero starts talking in a different language, maybe it's switched then, German for your own team, English for the enemy team.
Ideally, she should talk "Schwiizerdütsch", the German variant that is most common in Swiss. :]
I've found that randoms play with more teamwork when I am Lucio. For some reason, they just stick by me more than they do when I use Mercy. If I use Mercy, forget it. They just go all over the place. Waste of time, really.
Pushing people off the edges or into holes is THE BEST, especially when people don't realize I am maneuvering them into position so I can ... PUSHHHHHH

So 60 is the level cap?
No level cap I believe. Keeps going to 100 and then you roll over to 1 and start again.
Getting the post-game card for environmental kills feels so good. Bumping guys off with Lucio and doing suicide charges with Reinhardt feels so great.

man... so good, had an all Tracer match in arcade mode over the weekend. we lost on the final cap point of gibraltar.... went into OT every checkpoint. the whole game went for 30 mins and everyone on both teams was just having a blast.
She's super fun to play on defense when you can stack a ton of turrets on the back side of choke points and just spam energy balls down the approach. I feel her shields are still kinda 'meh' as a true support but there's something super satisfying about getting an end-game card for kills as Symmetra not to mention having a long-lasting, game-changing teleporter up. I've only had success in specific game/map setups (and generally only if someone is actually healing, she can't cut it as the sole support) but I pick her every time when the conditions are right.
I didn't know Mei spoke english till I picked her, she speaks chinese when its a teammate or an enemy for me.
hooking people in is even better. One time I grabbed a Roadhog and he pulled me down with him, haven't laughed so hard at this game as I did there.
and Lucio is the carrier of bad teams. I had a 100% win rate on him for a while, and I only ever played him with randoms. Also all my Lucio POTGs are environmental kills, so good.

Mercy is super fun if you have a good Winston though---jumping with him everywhere as he destroys everything.
When I play Lucio I pretty much play on the objective (Payload or Capture Point) so if my team wants the heals they are gonna have to be close to the objective.
Sick of these awful loot boxes. Where are all the legendary skins at
Seriously, that's how I got mine. WWBW gets real annoying real fast.
