How is over half of the roster can’t reasonably interact with them? The only ones who cannot reasonably fight a Pharah are Reaper, Junkrat, Symmetra, Reinhardt, Brigitte and Lucio, which is 6/28 and is less than a quarter. If you can’t interact with them probably means you don’t wanna switch.
And in fact fighting a team that builds around Tracer, Genji, Brigitte, Junkrat, Mei, Bastion, Reaper, Lucio, Ana, Winston, Torbjorn all requires you to switch up your composition and play style to deal with. Are those also not fun?
And what is your definition of fun anyway. Failing to define anything about such a subjective word before stating it actually has very little meaning. You could say being killed is unfun, you could also say fighting with little limitation is unfun.
But you have to remeber that for them to work consistently, you as a team need to drag the attention of Pharah on you and not hiding hoping that the one supposed to kill them can 1vs2.
technically yeah. Taking out the bastion is the easy part and any burst dps can do it, getting through the reinhardt is the hard part, Easier to distract him and give your burst dps a shot at the bastion.
The problem is all see it as a 1v1; Pick 76 and kill them! Take McCree and kill them! Its a 1v2 in that situation. But take 76 and McCree and there is no way that she can out heal you both. Take whoever you want but let it be a 2v2 not 1v2.
How is pharmercy bad? It’s just a synergy between two heroes. We got plenty of those synergies in the game. And it’s not like pharmercy is viable on every map and gamemode.
I see too many people being stupid and shooting at the Pharah though. Nope. Not the target. You gotta shoot the Mercy. Mercy’s self-healing of 20hps is a lot more manageable than trying to break through the Pharah’s pocket heals from Mercy of 60hps.
Solutions:
Sombra: Hack the Mercy.
Any medium/long range hitscan (Soldier and Widow work): Shoot the Mercy.
People don’t seem to know that but D.Va is the best hero to play against Pharmacy, she will not kill both of them but she can put pressure on both of them and deny Pharah’s ult.
Picking D.Va and a good Widow / Cree if Pharmacy is a problem is a good idea.
Sure, my team can swap to junkrat and destroy faster the reinhart shield. But if we dont swap, we still can win the fight. Because all heros can hit the bastion meta.
On the other side, You are forced to swap to anti air heros against pharahmercy.
