Blizzard said they'd do console-specific changes. So where are the Pharah nerfs?

Do you think your advice is a miracle breakthrough? Pharmercy dominates here, and it’s not a matter of killing who first.

few counter tips

  • Discord orb
  • Hack
  • Pretty much good hitscan aim

Smurfs need to be dealt with before Pharmacy. I don’t think keyboards and mouse work on console. There was a post not too long ago where someone mentioned this.

Nah, I’m just stating it’s mostly that people complain about this combo comes from PlayStation.

Well done on not reading the topic.

You can used an Xim4 adapter to used m/KB on console.

Look up a little device called a Xim4.
Just today I was playing against a widow who never missed a shot. Watching my death back on the killcam, her crosshairs are shaking minutely and moving in a way that only someone using a mouse could do.

For Xbox, I would have agreed with you in S8-S10, but with the hitscan buffs+mercy nerf she is easier to deal with. The good pharahs shine (as you would assume they would) in High Masters/GM.

Can’t speak for PS4

I can’t figure out how to quote people on this via phone.

To the comment about Anna and aim assist I hope not. I keep looking for how to turn that off because it drives me nuts when I’m shooting and some one I don’t care about draws me off target.

No.

On lower ranks is easier to kill pharahmercy, because they play like suicide guys flying near enemy hitscans and the pharah allieds dont focus the anti air enemy.

On higher ranks, pharahmercy players fly higher on the air (hitscans dmg fallout) and the allieds on the ground also focus the anti air enemy. Then the only thing you have to do is kill the pharah “counter” and win the teamfight.

Is A low effort/skills strategy with a very high impact. Pharah is the top one dps pickrate on gm ps4.

The Pharah players consist of nearly half our Top 500 leaderboards. Our hitscans are non-existent on the leaderboard.

Pharah’s aren’t excelling because they are good, but because they are Pharah.

Personally- I decayed out of t500 on my main to play with friends as it is the only reason I come back to the game.

Still have a 3900-4100 account that I play on from time to time-- are there pharahs in t500? Yes. Is it as oppressive as it was the last few seasons? No. Majority of t500 for Xbox use KBM anyways.

Pharah on xbox gm, have like x2 or x3 more pickrate than pc gm.

On ps4 she have like x5 more pickrate on gm

Scan hits all got a 20% buff to damage at fall off range and mercy heals 17% less.

The entire Overwatch community just got a buff vs Pharah+Mercy, including console.

Congratulations on not reading the post.

I read it, congratulations on not understanding I was gently telling you the combo just got nerfed directly and indirectly, give it time to change the meta.

I see Pharmercy every game, I see our Top 500 leaderboard filled with the duo with little to no trace of the hitscans. It’s been several weeks since the hitscan buff and things have not changed.

You do not play on console. I play it at the highest elo. Do not tell me how the situation is.

Lol, people still complaining about Pharah. Maybe swap to a hitscan to counter her? Or god forbid you’re playing Moira and have to aim into the air for a bit. Jeez.

I would expect this sort of generic response about Pharmercy from a Mercy one-trick.
