S76, McCree, Tracer, Bastion, DVa. Anything that doesn't have projectile/bullet travel time is a hitscan.

Don't forget, Ana's rifle has dual functionality. Hitscan while scoped, but a traveling projectile while unscoped.

Gotcha. I knew what hitscan meant, just didn't realize that all those other characters had such fast (instantaneous) projectiles.

So I made the mistake of playing solo queue last night. Deranked from 50 to 46, then up to 47. People just do not know how to pick a good team comp. One game we had 1 healer (me being lucio) and we were vs a 2 healer team, getting our asses handed to us by zenyattas discord. I mention this in voice chat, I get told shut the fuck up bundle of sticks. I mention again a few minutes later that we could really use another healer/discord to help us out because we aren't doing shit right now. So our Genji changes to Hanzo. On offense. Why can't I just be on the enemy teams ;_;

Mei is already deleted from the game. The only thing she's used for is first point defense on hanamura to trap people inside the choke.

Perhaps that's how it plays out at your level, but for me playing Mei on pretty much any map with interior chokepoints is a guaranteed headache for the enemy. Anubis, Hanamura, Numbani and Dorado are good candidates. Mei's strong suit is isolating one enemy and killing them without much problem. If you put her in a chokepoint you can just wait for a group to come in, place a wall to trap one guy and kill him. I almost never place a wall to block damage or to prevent people from making progress, the main use of the ability for me is to trap single enemies. She's also great at wasting time which is useful on control and payload maps.

By the way, anybody else really really hates the control game mode? Not because of its inherent mechanisms, but because of how completely random the outcome seems to be unless there's a huge skill gap. A number of times I've seen the counter go to 99% for one team and then the other team took the point and won.

I like how it says "you" for junkrat even though that hero is the epitomized OTP. In my experience, even Hanzo instapicks are more likely to change hero than Junkrats.

I seriously dislike control mode. Pretty much everyone I know dislikes that gamemode, there's just something wrong and unfun with it.

Solo Q is so awful it should be a whole separate league. You have to play against both the enemy and your own team to keep a decent rank in there.

Forwarded this to my buddy, but forgot he always plays drunk... He might be the DankKush variant.

Quite so, some stuff to learn from Rocket League. Even go more hardcore than them, since Rocket League, despite all its qualities, is a smurf factory and solo-queuing for standard 3v3 while solo is possible and not really discouraged.
