Tips & Tricks!

Roadhog can hook Junkrat's RIP-Tire. Obviously, not something you do often, but if it's going right for your team, it's going to be much better to sacrifice yourself than have your team wipe. Might even be able to destroy it if enough damage has been done.

Not a hero-specific tip, but I think our groups can do a better job of more consistently pushing as a team (and communicating as such, especially if you're the tank). That's not to say we don't do it, we just don't do it enough. It's far too easy to spawn, and go straight into the action, not unlike TF2. And I'm as guilty as anyone in that regard. But, that was 11v11, so it was much easier to have people pushing with you at all times.

I've seen us make some really good pushes when everyone pushes in with the tank(s) soaking up damage and/or sewing chaos so that the genjis, widowmakers, etc. can do work without being focus-fired. We need to coordinate more of that more consistently.

I'm guilty of that, too. I will try to keep it more in mind next time I play.

Aim for the upper chest with shotgun/tall-spread characters. If the aim is higher than that, half the pellets/bullets may miss the target completely.

For Roadhog, if the enemy is at short/medium range, shoot, hook, shoot again, then melee. That is his biggest burst combo. I believe you can hook immediately after a shot, canceling some animations.

Very insightful guy. I always think of mini objectives when I play because of him. Last night we had a widow making things hard for us. Our diva wasn't making it their job so I switched to diva as well and just kept harassing widow. It got to point where she switched characters. If your playing a counter to a character you need make that person your bitch. Not engage in every enemy you see. If everyone does that wins will come a lot smoother.

Yep, I kept getting distracted by the junkrat.

It's probably pretty obvious but I've seen few people utilize it: Pharah is the BANE of Reinhardt. Just fly directly over him and fire right behind him. If he doesn't point his shield up, he'll keep taking damage. If he points his shield up, pressure the people around him. If he drops his shield, laugh and shoot rockets maniacally.
