Widowmaker:76 visits Busan

[solarbird]

That Zarya's cowardice cost them their last shot at this game.

I'd been playing a lot of different heroes last night and losing a lot of games while statting really well, and finally I just said fukkit, I'm a Widowmaker one trick, and stopped golding, and started winning. I'll take it.

I love those moments. Had a good one last night where I ended up backfilling, picked Reaper because that's what I do when I don't have a clue what's going on, and bullied a whole match around. I won't say single-handed (blue DvA was grateful for the backup) but any match that ends with a Death Blossom team kill is a good match on my terms.

I am so spotty with Reaper - I can really, really look like I know what I'm doing or I can be an utter pumpkin-headed clown. The latter is a little more likely which is why I keep that skin on him full-time. （⌒▽⌒）

My Rein play is in a similar kind of tier. I can generally get things done, but everything screams "I'M AN OFF TANK AT BEST I DON'T WANT TO BE IN CHARGE." Just let me play Reaper or Wrecking Ball and be a bully...

Pumpkin Reaper is among the best Reapers. I've got that one on rotation with Dracula and Mariachi.

I love the winter blue ghost skin. That's one of my favourites, absolutely.

And I am not a good tank. I can pretend to be one sorta with D.va? But not a shield tank, like, ever...

...tho' I am kind of getting better at Brigitte and do enjoy the BASHY BASHY. If we need a second tank and our first tank is D.va, I will pick her and it might work.

Also if we need a healer, I go with her first. I can do legit healing with her. Like, 6,000+ heals and 2000-3000 shielding.

I'm using that one at the moment, for 'tis the season and all that, but I'm not actually that taken with it. It's fine, it's just - sort of there, for me.

I find Brigitte is great fun if your team understand how she works - that you have to be pressing, always pressing, always swinging, to get any significant heals out of her. The conservative "pokey from the chokey" playstyle a lot of random groups settle into isn't really optimal Brig; they need a consistent passive healer, a Lucio or whoever. Give her a nice brawly team to work with and she does wonders, though. I've had more fun playing Brig around a good Mei and aggressive main tank than is strictly proper.

Also, Brigitte is staggeringly wholesome and gorgeous and sometimes I play her just to calm down. It's impossible to stay cross when you're Brigitte.

"pokey from the chokey"

gods i hate that PRESS W YOU COWARDS

(i still say that even though i'm on console)

brigitte and orisa both really are just wholesomeness generators, aren't they? ♥

I operate on the principle that I put my shields and my heals where they should be and if you're not in the zone, that's your problem. Gets me killed as Lucio a lot but sometimes an extremely aggro Orisa surprises people.

Brigitte and Orisa are the most wholesome beings around. I would also give an honourable mention to my three-stack's regular Orisa-Zen-Bastion play. Wholesome omnics regret the choices they have had to make.

(The fact that we call it Team Metal Bastard is of purely historical interest.)
