Indifferent

JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE

She's underpowered tbqh

Im am legendary with her. She is op as fuck.

WE

Love her.

I feel a team isn't complete without her.

I don't particularly like her, but I use her because she's one of the only heroes with splash damage. I suck with Junkrat, can't get the balls to arc right, or I can't get close enough.

Feels like pubbie scrubs are finding out what blue plate specials feel like.

Weak class.
Relies on enemy team being bad
Is about "air superiority" but cant even really fly.

She's surprisingly weak given her abilities.
Buff when?

JUSTICE RAINS FRO- UGH

with junkrat on defense it doesn't matter where you shoot, just shoot and never stop shooting

She's kinda shit honestly.

Hitscan is very strong in this game, and she's got pretty low HP and she's slow.

I want to like her, but unless i've got a mercy up my ass it's hard to stay offensive, you have to play her very cautiously and attack from angles they don't expect until they start looking up.

She'd be better off if some of her health was converted into shields

I mainly want splash damage on attack though, to disrupt their static defences. Junkrat's too inconsistent in my hands.

Any tips? I feel like I'm pretty good with her, but still while it's easy for me to get 3-4 gold / silver medals with characters like Tracer or Hanzo I can't say the same thing about Pharah

I want to marry her

Literally the best girl and character in all means in this game

I like to play the hero but it's very hard to win games with her.

I agree. They need to buff her before focusing on d.va.

Pretty weak if the enemy team is competent.

Feels surprisingly squishy.

she's fun until the enemy team gets a decent widow. Then fun is no longer allowed in the sky.

JUST- ugh

how the actual fuck can you be this big of a rat in a video game?

>Jump into the air and unleash ult at a critical moment on defense
>A giant "Shoot me!" sign appears above my head
>JUST-
>Shot twice in the foot by a Widowmaker
>"psh, one shot, one kill, kid."

God fucking DAMN is this bitch getting old to play against. They dropped her bodyshot damage to 100, but that's all they fucking did. Didn't increase her charge time, didn't drop her health, didn't increase her recoil or her cooldown between shots...It still takes only two bodyshots to kill 70% of heroes

I'm salty.

She's cute.

How are you supposed to use the concussive blast? It looks real useful but i never find the opportunity to use it

I love Zenyatta's line when you kill Pharah in her ult.

wait, when did they drop body shot to 100 damage?

I heard there was a patch, but it didn't seem to have any balance changes.

Totally in fucking love.

One tip I always give my friends, is ALWAYS, ALWAYS try to stay in the air, moving nonstop. Never walk on the ground for more than a few seconds. Going on roofs are fine, just make sure to always stay above ground.
Try to use her concussive to push an enemy to a wall, then shoot that wall, since you'll have a higher chance to kill. It is also a good way to separate yourself from enemies.
Like Blizzard reccomends, try to hit where you think, or, if you get directly above the enemy, just aim it right at them, you'll most likely hit them.
But seriously though, best tip there is, is to NEVER stop moving as Pharah.
Oh and another thing, using her ult on one person is completely fine. Just make sure not to use it on a torbjorn turret, it will kill you faster.

>limbs

>stay in the air

That is by far the worst fucking advice

SHe's pretty good if you aerial flank and land direct hits, but gets shat on as soon as a mccree who has learned to use more than his rmb appears

Soldier 76 and widowmaker counters her hard too

Annoying at best in the hands of a capable player. But in friendly matches it's hilarious to bug zap her out of the sky with Winston.

People get fucked up by it, throws them off guard. It's useful while you're fighting anyone because you fuck up their aim. Shoot at support and tanks whenever to mess their shit up. You can also try bumping people off ledges

That's funny, I actually tend to stay ground based more often.

Being in the air makes you a HUGE target. Especially with how slow she is. Go aerial when you need to take someone on (especially tanks), but I try not to advertise myself to every hungry spamzo or shitowmaker on the enemy team

Best porn. She has the definitive fuck my ass look.

splash damage is absolute shit and no skill on her movement is needed like soldier from tf2

only "advanced" thing is press e while in the air to move about

It's fun to use it on cliffs. I've done it to Reinhardts who've ulted my team and is doing his charge or something. It can save lives by getting that slow Teutonic fuck away from your guys for just a few seconds.

I'm no good with her. At all. She looks like she sucks a mean cock though.

Good god no. No no no. If they see you coming, you're doing it wrong. If you stay in the air, they're gonna see you. The biggest catch with Pharah is that the rest of your team needs to be distracting. She does her best work looping around back during a push, or even just before a push. You could be the distraction that allows your team to push in. Just stay out of the air until you need to be there.

She dies quickly, tons of heroes are bad at hitting airborne targets. There's tons of cover even if you're airborne

you made yourself a target with poor choice timing. You should count yourself lucky that the widowmaker was bad and didn't just headshot you straight up.

>ALWAYS, ALWAYS try to stay in the air, moving nonstop.

Nigger this is awful advice. She's too squishy to do this.

>people never hit shit with her
>people don't use her E for movement nearly ofte enough
>people never rocketjump
>people never bully enemy widows and hanzos
Pharah is fucking great, my favourite character to play as, so much fun. but seeing other people play her makes me mad as fuck.
only thing that is kinda garbage about her is her ult, i am now high enough on levels that i can barely get a good ult off, it needs to be cancable.
basically you have to kill roadhog, widows, hanzos, mccrees and soldier 76s before even thinking of using your ultimate.
basically you ult enemy lucio mercy and reinhardt and have to keep being in the air for another 2 seconds just to wait and look at the widow/hanzo far away taking their sweet ass time to aim at your head.

anyways, most fun character in the game.
>splash damage is absolute shit
wich means you have to actually hit the enemy.
wich makes her hard to play.

Needs a slight durability buff IMO.

Anabuis skin is actually my favorite skin of her

Pharah needs a good amount of supporting to be 100% effective

I wish her E was more useful. It should do damage or apply a slow or SOMETHING other than knocking bitches back.

Think about how much utility a character like Junkrat has in his kit. Landmine for great close AoE and jumps. The trap is also really useful.

Pharah's E just feels a lackluster.

use it to knock yourself back to escape shitty situations

>splash damage is absolute shit
>wich means you have to actually hit the enemy.
>wich makes her hard to play.

Her direct hits do less than other classes much easier spam and pray

use E exclusively as a movement tool.
it's fun to use it for knocking bitches off but you barely ever have the opportunity to do so, as a movement tool her E is fucking great though.
direct hit is 120, no damage fall off. the damage is perfectly fine.

Why would you ever be in shitty situations with her kit anyways. If would much rather it be a slow orb or whatever, something you could combo making it easier to kill someone from above maybe.

Or just straight up make it knock back Rein even though his shield.

It's so fucking bad compared to other abilities, unless you play on meme maps where you can knock people out over the side.

People need to spend more time on the ground and inside closed spaces with Pharah the rockets don't need to be aimed and the self damage is more or less non-existant. Especially in comparison to the other classes that can harm themselves.

It*

...

120 is pretty shit when people are rocking 500hp bars.

Why take Pharah when you can take Mccre or Tracer or Soldier and be more effective?

Pharah is literally the overwatch, you need to be extremly on point at anytime and have a global sense of whats going on. Need to track every piece of info you can and use it to your advantage.
In your average random/grouped game, she's absolutly haram.

>Left click
Godly, 120 direct hit rockets is the skill ceiling is crave
>Boost jump and hover
dude nice, super mobile, escape, vantage points, nice we quake now
>E
I use it but I feel like if I'd shot two rockets instead they'd be dead instead of just getting knocked around. I dont feel like this synergises with her well and while the little extra jump boost is nice it seems like a wasted ability to counter the fact that shes a mobile rocket laaunching death machine
>Ultimate
I completely misunderstood this ult and got myself killed repeatedly, this shit is for close range back assaults against a small number of choice targets. The jump ult tactic you'd expect to be most effective is just way too dangerous for you and makes the ult largely ineffective unless part of a huge team push or the enemy is otherwise totally distracted

I feel like I could not use E or Ult and still have a pretty nice time with her

I like how her playstyle is inspired by Quake.

Alot of Overwatch feels inspired by 90s shooters.

>Being in the air makes you a HUGE target
I almost never look up. I can't fight airborne faggots and pay attention to what's right in front of me. The common person thinks this way so his advice to stay in the air makes sense.

Shitty tf2 soldier

Tribes, actually.

>Rocket launcher character
>high skill ceiling

Pick one

If only you could actually surf...

you're not really supposed to be the tank killer, and no tank has the range to even compete with you in a 1v1 so 5 rockets when you have 6 before reloading should be easy as fuck
pic related, using shift to get around the enemy frontline is shit.

Pharah is more fun

JUST -UGH

i don't have enough rule34 of her

She's clearly inspired by UT and quake, who the fuck even plays tribes.

>pic related, using shift to get around the enemy frontline is shit.

Or you could just press Shift and hold space, like it intended for it.

It's terrible design, it doesn't fit her role or kit at all. She is not made for disruption she is literally an offensive hero.

Hell, Pharah's E would be much more fitting for Winston if anything

Even in fucking willy waving seagull videos he gets fucking solo res'd by his pocket Mercy girlfriend.

She doesn't have any defensive abilities, her E is poop unless you can throw enemies into a pit and she's too squishy, which is just odd because she's the third(?) most well-armored character.

>splash damage considerably low
>have to land direct hits with a slow moving projectile to be effective
>requires excellent map awareness and good player prediction
>low HP
>slow movement
>ultimate has announcement and immobilizes character

You havent played this game have you

Which character has 'cancer ice horse up'?

Her ults useful as fuck for team wiping and clutch plays, you just need to not be a retard.

The biggest problem is people use her boost and think "oh this is great for the ult!" and boost then ult, prompting enemy snipers, or even anyone who has even medium range to just point and click you and you're dead.

Get behind them on ground level or on a ledge where they can just about see you.
If they see you pre-ult, you're already dead.

be sneaky

Because those two are boring to play as

People pick McCree because they love the easy kills. I admit I pick Soldier often when I can't be bothered with any of the other character's gimmick and just want to shoot Meis.

>Or you could just press Shift and hold space, like it intended for it.

I mean if you wanna die then yeah, sure

This guy is only good because his fucking accuracy is insane, and he's got a pocket.

Mei when they're stacked and pop up walls everywhere

Use it to bump bitch niggas to their deaths

E gives you a lower flying arch and a lot more momentum and speed, you will get less likely hit by widows and you are still out of range of mcree flashbangs or shit like that.
it's less about getting height but about flying real fast.

>this guy is only good because he's good

Good Pharahs? Amazing.

Shit Pharahs? Waste of fucking time.

Give her an alt fire mode for bigger splash damage, but only 25% damage for direct hit.

Or give her more HP as damage boosting her as Mercy is useless if Widowmaker or Hanzo spots her and can aim.

Are you just plain bad at video games or something? Splash damage automatically reduces skill needed. Don't get me wrong, you can get good with her, but it isn't very hard. Mastered her in like 30 mins when the game was f2p.

High skill ceiling characters are characters with fiddly and complex mechanics, shooting rockets isn't fiddly or complex and allows for basically only one playstyle.

Your game isn't as hard as you think it is.

Gets taken out way too easily.

>he's only good because hes good and works with a support in a team based game

She's weak as hell senpai

She needs shields.

Shes my waifu

Mastered her in like 30 mins

Can't wait for the (you)s to roll in for this one

RYUU GAWA GA TEKI WO KURAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

I use her when the enemy team does shit like play 3 torborns bc randoms can't ever seem to figure out how to destroy turrets and her splash is pretty good for that. But yeah a good widowmaker will completely negate her.

She is the direct counter to bastion players and turrets.

Making a bastion rage switch because you keep sniping him is great

>widow and mccree nerfs around the corner
>pharah will be unstoppable and people will start complaining about her
i don't want her to also get nerfed Sup Forums ;_;

This is the most retarded post ive seen all week.
