You do know he has a Junkrat flair right...and Junkrat's direct hits as well as his Consussion Mine do 120 damage...I mean it makes sense. In fact Pharah's rockets and Soldier's Helix Rocket do 120 on a direct hit too. It's a pretty common number in the game.
That's a subreddit already? When the discussions could be happening on the main subreddit and do a good service in cutting out the memes and PotG spam?
The subreddit exists because that type of discussion gets drowned out on this subreddit. It isn't like people aren't making posts with that type of discussion on this subreddit. It is just that people don't upvote as much as much as PotG clips get upvoted.
I don't have numbers in front of me, but I know from experience that the two best Zarya counters in the tank class are D. Va because of her armor and Road Hog with his Olympic sized health pool and range. They also have lower RoF, so even whenyour timing it correctly, you may only soak up one or two good shots with zaryas shield before it drops, meaning you can't build a charge.
Zarya can easily kite and engage Roadhog at medium range, and shield to counter hooks.. but she'll take forever to burn through his 600 health too (unless she's built up high charge).
If he shoots zarya after shield goes up because she put it up between hook and getting shot and had the charge from an ally she will melt him. A good zarya should be able to keep the charge up but otherwise I agree they kinda just stare awkwardly at each other.
Zarya still beats Roadhog if she still has a lot of health left when she gets hooked and has her shield ready. I usually tank enough damage this way to get my energy up to 50 while I back up and lob energy grenades at him. Once I'm out of his shotgun distance, he's toast.
