She isnt now, but she certainly was before her balance changes
You mean the hovering?
Didnt the Rocket boost and Hovering were tied to the same keybind there? so you dont have to press the Jump button
Lucio and Genji on the other hand, you pretty much have to change it
I’ve been playing since launch… I don’t have any recollection of this.
When pharah was best was maybe a short stint when Ana wasn’t so great. But best for pharah isn’t some … Ironclad bastion period.
the darkest console period imo
Oh yeah… immortal Bastion…
Anyway, yeah, Pharmercy was a thing in Console and jesus was it a nightmare, im not joking when i say that Pharmercy was the one thing that made me rage quit a Comp Match for the first and only time, i was simply tired of her, it was like in every match there was a Pharmercy, and most of the time, she was dominating it
For a friggin month… I will never forgive blizzard for leaving us out to pasture with that nonsense.
And while I hate pharmercy…I just… Don’t see it as a statistically op thing. No more than ana rifle up hog butt.
It can work, but it’s not dominating the world imo
Least of all now
PC players love to pretend that console players are all running around taking 20 full seconds to turn around and missing every shot they shoot. They love to pretend that aim assist is this all powerful aimbot that everyone uses (when in fact most players have it turned off). They love to pretend that Genji, Tracer and Pharah are OP on console and Ana, Widow or any character who takes a high amount of aim is useless on console when in fact Console win and pick rates are roughly the same and have been the same since the start of the game.
Pharah was literally never OP on console, I’ve seen her more this week than I have in 4 years.
Well back then someone actually made it all the way to top 1 by just using that combo, so theres that…
Pharah on her own, no
Pharmercy sure was
Fixed that for ya

Exactly. I’ve only seen small differences such as
PS4 having sombra meta for a short stint
Console using heal and not speed until like…season 8???
Like…it’s always issues that are very small
Same
…so?
Symm has been #1 too…
And she’s never been “meta” in normal comp. Only in 222 and that was beta
Not has much has it was in Console
And where is your proof of this?
Both pharah and Mercy have lower win rates on console than they do on PC meaning statistically they are winning more on PC therefore they are more useful.
Mercy is in the top three supports on all platforms and pharah has a 6% pick rate on Xbox and PC and Ps4 is the only platform where her pickrate goes above 7%
Sorry but Console is still harder. PC you have better and smoother aim.
Pharah is easy… on her own
Speaking as an x pharah main who used to dominate tooo many games i believe a half decent pharmercy is horrendous to deal with on console… especially with this weeks bans prevent dva and bap from chipping in.
Precision aiming is much easier to master with a mouse and due to the silly amount of oblivious tunnel vision players that play this game (on consoles especially) u often dont get the folllow up need when u damage the pharah or mercy.
Needs rework to be less dependant on a pocket mercy imo
Are you talking about now or way back?
Cause WAY back, like years back, she was straight up stupid
Again, no she wasn’t. Look up gameplay of overwatch console from beta - season 3. Pharah is never picked, not at high ranks not at low ranks. She has always been a near throw pick on all platforms.
Unless u can pull up win rates whilst theyre both played together (which u cant) its irrelevant
Im talking about the time frame when Pharah still had her Splash dmg and Mercy just got her Rework (which was a disaster on its own)
