so the number 1 counter to pharah in your opinion is a hitscan? lmao
hitscans do counter pharah, this topic is a wild take
Is the hitscan in this scenario also getting heals or no? cuz if so, then I still take the hitscan. If not, it’s a dumb claim anyway.
Heheeheheheheheh, Mauga being the only true hitscan tank and sniping Pharah out of the sky go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
this is why so many people hated pharah + mercy and why they had to change pharahs fuel to not let her stay in the sky all day cause people have trouble killing good pharahs because they have it wrong.
I tried to help. Looks like people are stuck thinking widow, soldier and cassidy are pharahs hard counter.
All good pharahs have no issues killing those 3 hitscans. They never tell you why cause they want to dominate the game lol. Oh well I tried to help. Stay as you are eating rockets.
Pharahs only on pause atm in leaderboard til they fix her fuel then itll be pharah on top again.
Sombra is no 1 counter not because of her gun but because shes invisible and can disable pharahs flight bringing her to the ground to get pounced on.
Symm perk gives her shield or long range beam to beam pharah out the sky. SHield perk means pharah has to waste time killing TP before even approaching a sym and sym can pop out of nowhere when pharah is mid dive and light her like a jedi the same Zar does lol.
What a bait post
Symmetra listed as a pharah counter
Jesus.
This post should be reportable for misinformation

if you understand pharahs fuel you know the precise time to beam her
You still on with your propaganda post?
What you said can also be written like this
“If you can aim you can shoot a target”
Seriously your post is just a troll post. Stop it, get some help.
yes, usually the healer dies first then the hitscan
All good Pharahs can eat hitscans. Pharahs arent afraid of hitscans and this is why you lose matches to good pharahs even with hitscans. The whole reason I have 88 elims in Comp in OW1 was the team all picked hitscans to kill me and i smashed all of them while my team watched in laughter and this was a diamond game LOL.
back then it only required two direct rockets. Now it requires 2 rockets + concussive to do the same amount of damage.
Pharahs dont aim at you, we aim where youre going. Thats why people die so fast. THink about how many times we see the same movement by all hitscans. We are attuned to your movement and have catergories of the type of hitscan player you are based on how you move lol.
If you have aimbot accuracy, youll never see us comming, the only time youll see us is when youre about to die. Peekaboo style pharah. WHen you aim is bad, we hang back and mess with your tank and healers then fire a random rocket at you for laughs.

Wait I was so dismissive of this post that I didn’t even see the “Sym is a Pharah counter” point (Also Zarya?)
A character that you are legitimately in bronze if you ever let her come close to you is a counter, but not the characters designed to easily track you in the sky lol
Lemme guess, not even Bastion is a counter despite having enough health to tank your rockets while using his HITSCAN MINIGUN to delete you.
bastion is strong but doesnt have range similar to widow. Thats why maps like blizzard you can spam choke from 10 miles away and lay damage and build ult and if widow hits you its like a spec of dirt. Similar to Cassidy, hes strong up close weak after 30meters. Hitscans dont take damage drop off into account when facing pharah. The close you are to pharah the closer you are to your doom.
Mei and kiriko are strong cause they dont have damage drop off but they have to land shots.
Dont forget, pharah is laying damage down on tank and keeping healers busy and will only side mission dive someone whos low and healers wont have the speed to switch from tank to dps to stop them from dying. Some healers can but not many.
People are struggling to kill Freja not because shes OP but cause she can change direction quickly so high chance of missing shots so you have to be patient wait for her to blow her boost then focus her like you would a tracer
“A character that you are legitimately in bronze if you ever let her come close to you is a counter, but not the characters designed to easily track you in the sky lol”
Pharah no longer has unlimited flight so she will go to ground. Sym can teleport to you with 5 beams and a shield perk that makes her tanky as hell, kill you then teleport back to her team like nothing happened.
The reason why Zar is painful for pharah is her shield. Pharah only gets 6 rockets and it takes 2 + concussive or 3 rockets to kill someone. As soon as a shield protects a player Pharah has consumed resources to get to, shes now dead in the water cause shes gotta reload and hope that she has enough fuel to get out of range which most times doesnt happen til late in the round with perks so early on its aids for pharah to do any meaningful work.
But whats fun about comp now is the highest characters to be banned are all of pharahs counters…Sombra Zar Ball. So i dont even vote to ban them. I vote to ban mercy so I dont have to deal with pocketed hitscans and heros i kill come back to life.
And the closer you are to Bastion, the closer you are to your doom.
His recon form has the range to poke you from afar and his sentry form has the power to shred you, along with the health to tank rockets.
Yeah, and you’re bronze if you let yourself fall to a position where there’s a Sym.
Zarya doesn’t have unlimited shields and Pharah is a priority target for bubbling off her kills, meaning Pharah can easily force them out.
Hitscans are counters because they can track her easily, unlike Mei or Kiriko.
Mauga is a hitscan that forces crits and will simply sneeze off any rockets. Why isn’t he a counter?
good pharahs dont float in the sky for hitscans, they only poke to see where you are for like 0.4 seconds then know where to fire a rocket and the only time they will dive you is when youve taken damage and a rocket or two will kill you. Ive never had issues playing against bastions all the way up to diamond 3 they are least of my concern. It requires good teamwork to take out pharah which is too much time because there are other heros in the game doing work also so its a hard balancing act to play unlike genji when you can throw out a turret or cassidy to pop his eye ball off which doesnt require teamwork.
Ive had teams try to focus me so much that they miss the hanzo popping their skulls on the ground lol
No hitscan player worth their salt has ever struggled with pharah. The issue has always been the pocket.
Because the pocket was always the issue. Does paharah still counter a Mercy pocketed soldier or is this a case of “rules for me but not for thee”?
good pharahs dont need pockets. The only reason Yzna did well wasnt because of his pockets, he did well cause he had aggressive ground play so teams had to deal with two issues, the insane guy and tank on the ground and top gun. He basically was getting carried and getting free ult charge while they were fighting the ground crew. His movement and aim isnt any different from pharahs in plat and to top it off had nano to help him pull ults off.
When you look at his pharah stats his highest eliminations in comp for any season was in the 40s which is low.
Pharah without a good ground team is useless cause teams have free time to look up. Thats the only reason why people think hitscans are a pharah counter because the pharah they killed was teamed up with baddies lol. Its a different story when you have an elite sombra or cassidy on the ground wiping your healers cause youre too busy look up in the sky lol. Its all time and team management.
Pockets are not the issue and have never been the issue which brings me back to why I created this post. Stop thinking what you think you know and listen to a Pharah telling you the secrets of why pharahs own you in comp lol.
My team have never had issues with a pocketed pharah cause we all play pharah and know the weakness of the pocket. The weakness of the pocket is the mercy. We totally ignored the pharah and focused the mercy over n over n over again til they were too scared to latch on to pharah. We always punished the team to isolate the pharah and make teams tilt lol and we have been doing this since OW1

This is the same for literally any player on any character. Having a good team that knows how to play helps win games? Who knew!?
Hahahahahaha. You heard it here first folks. One of the best players in the world on multiple heroes is no better mechanically than a plat player…
Yes, when you look at singular stats in a vacuum with a smooth brain this seems to support your argument.
However, you are making the assumption that higher ranks = more better = more elims which is incorrect I’m afraid. I am more likely to get more elims in my Plat games than T500 players are in their T500 games because players are just straight easier to pick off. Whereas players are far less likely to make dumb mistakes and feed in high ranked play.
Haha I just go phara back
no you dont have the time in any comp to get high eliminations like I have with my pharah. Ive played in masters with my 6 stack and the only difference is the games are much longer going into 3 rounds of nail biting game play. Hes not the best player mate hes far from it. You watched his collage of highlights and his ranking on leaderboard but because you dont understand pharah game mechanics you assume hes the best.
Ill say it again, he was full carried. Youll notice in his highlights when hes trying to kill a mercy they cut the clip cause it shows him missing shot after shot LOL. There is a reason he was able to run multiple accounts in top 500 lolol. His team carried him. Put him in a gold team see how well he does. LOL.
Ive actually even played with him once and I knew it was him on an alt again and said I was no 1 pharah. I watched the replay back of his gameplay and it wasnt even that great lol.
The best pharah that ever blessed Overwatch is still the one and only Valkia. He never needed to be carried, he was the carry.
77 Elims with Cass. 13 high noon elims. 4 rounds on Havanna.
I know you think you know it all…
I didn’t say he was. Learn to read please.
How come he pretty much occupied all top10 spot on the leaderboards, but his supposed “carries” weren’t? If he was getting carried all the time, why aren’t his team mates in those top spots? If he is so bad and you’re so much better, then why aren’t you rank 1?
Listen, I don’t like the guy at all, but to say that he is bad is just objectively false.
This is so cringe, lord have mercy.
I get it dude you have a big ego and nothing to back it up so you have to bad mouth someone better than you…
The guy 1v1’s Dafran and wins, but yeah sure, he’s like…a plat player that gets carried lmao…
