Can we talk about how unhealthy Pharah is?

Hanzo is OP? You must be kidding.

he is.

He can literally be used at any range even though he’s supposed to be a sniper. he can easily counter his supposed counter, winston. Just get a shot on him while he’s leaping and viola, he can be scattered, so just rush him and he’ll die quickly with the scatter.
Literally not that hard to counter the counter for hanzo. had it happen to me quite a few times. its pretty annoying, but im glad the scatter is going away.

SO yeah, I do think so because he can be uncontested most of the time. Cus if you do rush him, omg you’re closer so he has an easier time headshotting you unless you’re tracer or genji due to the fact that you’re highly mobile. have fun doing that with soldier 76 right now.

Hanzo is so OP that your team starts screaming at you the moment you pick him in comp and he has the worst win rate of all heroes…

“he’s not op cus someone yells at me over the mic”
weak

What about his stats, all of which show him to be very weak currently? Even in GM his win rate is below 50%. And Blizzard, who have the most stats available, are currently reworking him.

I’d say thats for the better due to the fact that the scatter would allow him to be countered more effectively and not allow him to go to a default mode whenever he’s at low health, aka run away and scatter whoever is gonna kill you. But regardless of what im saying, he’s op because thats just how snipers are in video games. High DPS, even if you didnt intentionally shoot the person, half their HP is gone cus thats just how it works. Just takes one more shot and they’re dead. Personally I feel like it should be 3 fully charged shots at the body to kill an enemy and one headshot to kill an enemy, aka do 300 damage and body shots to do like 75 damage. I feel like thats more reasonable to work with.

She is the mistake, no matter if she is op or up, her design is awful for Overwatch. If i had to delete one hero, it would be Pharah without hesitating, you can even play Winstom when there is Reaper, Zen when there is Tracer etc. Pharah is the only hero, which doesnt hard counter but she completely elimimates a lot of heroes. And forces different kind of teamwork then any hero in the game.

If game was designed around that, its ok, but its not, Pharah is the only hero of this kind, maybe rework her?

well the thing about this is that she can be fixed up and get hard countered against. Just need to make a new hero that solely has one job and thats to kill pharah. Like moira for example is a good way to go about making a counter to pharah, long range constant dps.

I’m picturing an overweight Pharah who can only launch 10ft off the ground.

Okay.
First of all she needs a buff.
Second of all, she’s a trash hero as she’s hard countered by heroes like Dva and Soldier. A floating object in the air is so ridiculously easy to shoot down and kill.
If you think Pharah is op you must be very low ranked or a console player. Idk which but in high master to gm she’s a bad pick unless you do Pharahmercy.

learn to read friend, that’s not what the topic is about.

The biggest problems with Pharah is she OP in low ranks but underpower in high ranks

This has a lot to do with the very design flaws I discribe.

It’s not that she’s OP. It’s not that she doesn’t have counters, It’s that those “counters” are the heroes that even have the ability to fight back at all, and much of the roster doesn’t even have that option.

But from her voicelines, she loves going to the gym and lifting weights. She seems pretty healthy to me :stuck_out_tongue:

Problem is pharmercy.

Pharah on her own gets handled by a decent hitscan, but when there’s a pharmercy you need Zen too so you can kill her through the mercy heal.

I like how this thread got necro’d randomly a year later with a bad joke and then the next comment was just continuing like normal, as the problem was still never addressed.

Looking forward to OW 2.
