I could pick Reinhardt and shield a bastion on the bridge on Anubis point A, then block off the main entrance to point B.
Funnier to pick Roadhog and go bodyblock the flankers on point A, and just run around the right side entrance to point B to pick off the stragglers trying to sneak in. It's probably less effective than trying to yoink the Widow and Pharah on the pillars tho.

So R6S has a new starter edition, much cheaper for initial buy in, but Operators are a lot more expensive to unlock.

It's $15 for the "starter edition". I dunno if you can upgrade the version to "full" but if you can't it's maybe not worth it? the operators are waaay more expensive. but if you don't mind League of Legends level grinding for characters it's all good.

I find Roadhog to be much more fun to play in general than Reinhardt. There's nothing quite like being Blitzcrank with a shotgun.

I have yet to play Roadhog or Reinhardt at all including the beta. Or Mercy. Roadhog will probably be the first of those I'll actually play but they're not really appealing to me.

Lucio >>> Mercy. I much prefer passive healing and preventative shields than the rez. It's a lot easier to pop out a shield and then start a fight than try to stay alive and rez multiple people.

That said, Mercy has her uses as pocket healer or damage buffer.

lucio's heal isn't enough against players who can actually hit their shots. Mercy can heal through burst and help hard push through a point.

On one target. Lucio's Amped heal is nearly as strong (40 hps vs Mercy's 50 hps) and for the whole group.

I'm not saying his better overall, Mercy is better if you need to jump one person up at a time, but in pubs it's often better to just Sound Barrier -> Amp once it fades.

i got mecha queen pharah last night!!! :D
played her a bunch and killed a bunch of bastions... i dont even fly as much as most others just peek rockets and i get a lot of cards after for direct hits. of course i fly to get away or to get vantage points or to ult.

pros seem to think mercy is better in general
BW pros training sc2 is like kiss making a dub step album.

You play mercy for the Rez and Lucio for the speed boost. Apples and Oranges.

Mercy is on my list of heroes to practice so I'm not oblivious when its appropriate. The rez is so strong and up so often it seems.

If you target switch on mercy she has lucio's heal amp at all times

lucio in combination with mercy is great, also for the king of the hill maps where the fights are a lot more chaotic lucio is a better pick than mercy.

The difference in healing negligible as it doesn't affect TTK nearly as much as damage amp in actual fights unless you are playing poke fights where you can generally just cycle front lines anyway.

Lucio is the stronger overall character for sure but Rez is super strong in pro play because every fight is like 5v5 at minimum.

Mercy is also good for following a Pharah or Dva or something like that to make use of the Guardian Angel movement and boosting a strong player. Lucio's boosted healing is comparable single target but Mercy gives that all the time. Also she can headshot with her pistol, I don't think Lucio can(although he can push entire teams off the map on basically every KotH map...)

I find Mercy way easier to pick off than Lucio though. Playing Tracer/Widow and Lucio is damn near impossible to oneshot, Mercy is ezpz.

Reinhardt is super team-dependant. He can be a lot of fun, but if noone sticks with you it's boring as fuck. Somebody's got to push the payload, and then people just burst down your shield or Mei simply walks up to you.

It's not just shield up all the time but you need your team to give a nudge back. By raising it you don't block shots, you give your teammates an opportunity to shoot without retaliation, and then if they make space for you in exchange (by reducing enemy fire through theirs) you get to move more or even charge into the fray.
But yeah that hasn't happened often to me... (and doge and HF can confirm that my ults suck).

I need to switch to speed boost more on Lucio, I tend to boost people to points, or when we've cleared the enemy team, and then just stay on healing, amping it up when a fight starts.

Once you know all the map corridors so you can dash backwards/sideways, it opens up so many options. Although there are a lot of jagged corners I've been getting stuck on recently trying to shave down travel times. That's definitely one of the more frustrating things I've experienced.

Remember to poke at tanks and deal small amount of damage to their heroes so that you feed ulti to their supports. Harassing as a goal is such a dumb idea.
