I’ve played this game for 3 years now starting in 2017, i played a lot of Rein and McCree and loved this game so much. I played on console and got to mid master in season 3, but the last year of this game for me has been nothing but frustrating every game. About 2 out of 3 games there is a pharah mercy and as i am now a support main it is so unfun to see this dominate in console as none of my dps can aim, at that point it is mirror the pharmacy or lose. When i have to depend on my dps to live it is so frustrating. Also cc in this game is disgusting. When the game came out there was little to none hard cc only mei and rein and grav. Now every hero who comes out either has cc or in the case of echo 3 lives and can cleanse cc with her ult. Skiill in console is no longer rewarded. When pharamcy is all you see it means mercy is played every game, and just yesterday i saw a mercy who was master but silver dps and gold in tank. How can you be happy with a game that rewards players for getting boosted and having no gamesense. This doesnt even talk about the major throwing problem in console. I say 1 and 3 games there is a hardthrower who after the first round doesnt leave spawn if he doesnt get a pocket on pharah or because my friend picked zen, a well designed rewarding character instead of mercy the may walls us off from our team during a fight then goes afk in spawn. This happens 1 in every 3 games just because we dont want to play mercy. I have reported about 50 people in the last 2 weeks but i dont know if any of them are getting punished or banned because your game doesnt tell me. There should be a system in place like league of legends where it tell you if a person you have reported has been punished. To finish off i want to just add how this game has fallen so much since launch in my belief because of this game being mobafied, earlier on in the game even 1 v 6 you could outplay any situation if you were that good at McCree, or if you were taht good at Rein and hit a rewarding shatter that can be countered by the enemy but you outplay their Rein. But with every new hero topping the charts in overloaded, anti-fun kits the direction this game is going is the i get value just because im playing a much better, new hero and the only way to counter these heroes like echo and doomfist is to depend on my teammates who most of the time are throwing cause im not playing mercy. At least before role lock i myself could swap to McCree to counter a doomfist, but now my zen has to survive against a doom while my platinum McCree when i am master is flanking to get a highnoon and insta dies cause he has no gamesense cause the matchmaking is broken in console. Your game isnt making me happy anymore and most people i talk to in console when theyre actually in voice chat, hate these things aswell. Thank you.
Wall of text crits you for 9000
Come to PC. After two weeks of playing PC and then trying console again, you will ask yourself “how TF did I play this crap console thing for so long?”
I play both and mostly play on console, so… 
End of the day, its a preference thing.
I agree that Pharah is a little strong but the main issue on console are Smurfs
Your own Mei walling you off (then typically spamming “Hi!”) is a time honored tradition of Consolverwatch.
Nah the time honored tradition of consoverwatch is haha tanks go brrrrr.
(plays road/winston.)
That doesn’t show anything, you can be better in one role then another. Did you even check their playtime on those roles?
And of course, playing mercy must mean they’re boosted.
Are you being serious, yea she just plays better when she plays Mercy becuase it doesnt require a lot of skill. You get innate value by just existing. Then the mercy tries to play actual skillful characters and guess where that gets her. Silver. Before role lock this mercy would be silver or gold just shows this game is busted.
I mean Ana is an option if your team has issues with Pharah, Lucio/mercy is hard to hit as Pharah especially if you are using their tech. Zen can tag the mercy without to much trouble.
And baptiste is a hitscan himself.
All in all you have options to defend and counteract the Pharah in question, as long as of course you can aim.
I understand this but the problem is on console 9 out of 10 games you have a mercy and your dps cant aim so i am a single ana who has to attempt to take down a pharah mercy myself when she can 2 shot me. You get me
Shoot the mercy ignore the Pharah, use your terain to break LOS of Pharah. and use your nade/health packs/your other healer to keep you up.
Like ya she can two shot you, but your also on console. Meaning that even with the aim assists she isn’t landing those direct hits consistently as you think.
Like even on PC, on the best of Days I have a 30% direct hit rate. So you most likely will have at least three hits before she can kill you.
That and Baptiste has self heal button and the ability to get onto high ground easily.
So you have options to combat her, be it that you also need to have the aim to do so.
You just sound bitter really.
Just buy a pc lmao 4head
what is sad here is that OW actually does have this feature. when the game takes action against someone you reported it gives you a pop up message thanking you for reporting them the next time you load up overwatch
UNFORTUNATELY, i haven’t received a “thank you for reporting” since the beginning of last year. Which tells me console overwatch doesn’t police reports nearly as much as it did before, OR that people like you or me who report a lot get there reports completely ignored. what a joke
Same think happens on PC as well, people can’t aim there either and when they can gorilla tactic pharmercy, cause it usually require more then 1 person to take out because as a pharah I am gonna shoot the one that is an immediate threat to me 1st and with those mini knockbacks from rocks the one trying to kill me usually dies before succeeding.
But at least you have endless Smurfs to keep you company…
Pharah isn’t that hard to take care of but mercy complicated things with that hitbox and erratic movement. I’m not trying to defend the dps here because this combo is easily defeated by a Cassidy and a headshot
Did you just necro a year old thread to say “just aim good” as a silver Genji main? Really??
I didn’t realize how old it was when I replied to it, sorry. But still, Cassidy can easily apply enough pressure to get her out of the sky even if you don’t hit your shots because eventually you’ll get lucky. Truthfully I only said that last part because I didn’t want to get accused of defending dps because of my career profile as you pointed out I play dps
