Are we going to see any Pharah changes soon?

Yup
20 skyfus

Yup the only hero that is going to consistently do that is Widowmaker and only if she’s nutty.

Because the effort required to be countered is much greater than her just hitting things.

Every time I solo barrage a soldier or hanzo and they kill me before I can kill them, I just die a little inside. “What would win, 300 mini explosive rockets vs a single wooden arrow boi?” I type that A LOT in game out of frustration

It’s not that hard to double body shot a Pharah. If she is receiving poke damage from one of your teammates or Mercy isn’t fast enough to switch to heals, it should be enough
Pharah has movement penalty for flying, so it’s easier if she’s out in the open

Harder if Pharah is contesting you since the fight is pretty even at close ranges

have you actually played pharah? alot of work goes into it. It’s one of those cases of not as easy as it looks.

Have you actually tried to kill one pocketed by mercy?

I mean sure but it’s not that hard for a pharah to put 2 rockets into you either that wasn’t my point. My point is becuase as a widow i can just headshot her it doesn’t matter if she’s healed or not but that work work well in say bronze-plat

Yes I mean i main widow and ana and often play things like dva or mcree never had an issue killing her on any of them

Agreed. She is very tough to play as.

Yes I have. I even have as pharah myself with no mercy. It is possible. I did it on my own a few times, but most of the time I need support from my team. Playing as Pharah is not that simple and requires a lot more skill than people believe. Killing a pharah pocketed by Mercy can be annoying and challenging, but it is very doable.

pharah doesn’t need changes though

she’s a counterpick hero who dominates koth and a select other maps

OH.MY.GOD. 650ish days ago was her last change to her kit, FINALLY WE GET SOMETHING after almost 2 years of powercreep and silence :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: I can’t sit still now, just thinking about what it could be

don’t be ridiculous

she dominates some koth maps in the pro scene and she’s used consistently on the entirety of rialto and is almost 100% ran on eich point a as well

i never said she’s a dominant hero but you apparently just read half of the post and ignored the whole “she’s a situational counterpick hero” part of the post

This is what im afraid of. Eh, time to become a pharah main : P

That. You have to be a Pharah specialist to have any chance at higher ranks. You need to study maps, mashups, flanking routes. She can work if your team cooperates, but usually they just ask you to swap at the first sight of hitscans
The hitscan buffs didn’t help

How flooded does your inbox get when you post on things like this? (also guys who say the devs don’t read the forums what tf is the game owner doing in the middle of the thread?)

Dominating is a very strong term that’s the problem dominating is like implying she’s a must pick in certain situations and thats silly
