Bridgette (sp?) is so good.  I really need to take the time to get good with her.  I imagine they'll nerf her little dash thing at some point.

I'm on there too. We need to have a GE OW meetup one of these nights.

Also, I love Torb, but he is more of a situational character. I would focus on some of the characters who are good on all maps or else you will find yourself getting wiped out by the other team and have angry teammates.

Finally got to 25 on overwatch this weekend. Playing a mix of dva and zenyatta. I need to get a handle on a dps now. Tracer seems interesting, so does rat. I would really like to do widow but I don't know the maps well enough at all.

Junkrat is a solid choice. Widow is almost a throw pick if you aren't very good with her. Other people to consider: Sombra and Genji. Ive been playing a lot of Sombra since they changed her invisibility to as long as you want.

With Tracer you can target out the "squishy" characters and then dance away. I think it is all about learning the timing of her recall and using her quick blinks in interesting directions. She is a lot of fun to play. If you master her you should definitely give Sombra an attempt.

lol @ sombra.  sombra is worthless to the team until you're basically in masters because the communication isn't there at lower levels to fully incorporate her into the team and teams just don't fully use her. 

when you're flexing you have to ask yourself who is the next best player you can play that would most help the team.  if the answer to your question is sombra then you should uninstall and go play battlefield.

- 76 is the staple DPS.  I get frustrated when my team doesn't have one.  Nice solid consistent damage.  Pretty good ult.  I think he should be in every game.

As for "off-dps"/flankers
- Pharah is lovely.  If you can jump on the soldier and kill him early in the fight, prepare to feast on the rest of the team.  Very mobile.  Environmental kill possibilities.  I love playing her.  I hate playing against her.
- Reaper is nice and reliable.
- Junk is a beast in certain maps (so good defending horizon and anubis.  also the last point on gibralter.  i'm sure there are others).

Hanzo/genji/tracer/widow/mcree can absolutely carry if you can play them well.  The problem is playing them well is tough, and if you're not playing them well, you're adding nothing to the team. 

-Bastion: i hate playing with him and against him.


I hate when my team has a bastion.

attack bastion is very viable on certain maps like volskya and junkertown.  he melts tanks.  definitely a spot pick though.  i usually will start a map with him when the opposite team is tank heavy and then switch to junk.

Yeah I'm not saying he's not viable.  I just hate when he's on either team.

I think it's because I play Rein most of the time, and when we have a bastion, my job becomes a game of "Stand in front of the Bastion," which is boring af.  Daddy wants to swing that hammer.

Rein is great when you're not sitting blocking some stationary beeping dufus.
