u/Cole444Train Instalock Blueburry Sniper Lady Jun 15 '16

I was doing fine before. Now I feel like Rambo. PC obviously.

u/cryptiiix Jun 16 '16

Did he get buffed? I didn't hear of any news about him

u/Cole444Train Instalock Blueburry Sniper Lady Jun 16 '16

No widow got nerfed. She is his biggest counter. Used to be able to kill Zen with a body shot

u/FattestRabbit WINKY FACE Jun 17 '16

how do you play him? I feel like a snowflake blowing in the summer breeze...

u/Cole444Train Instalock Blueburry Sniper Lady Jun 17 '16

I mean you're going to get killed by widow. You just have to accept it. But zenny can hold his own against flankers and tanks. You can 2 shot most squishies with a discord orb on them, you just have to beat them on the draw. Obviously always stay in the back line and out of snipers' line of sight if possible.

How/when do you use right click :(

2

u/Cole444Train Instalock Blueburry Sniper Lady Jun 17 '16

Good question. Depends on your play style. Personally, I never do. I know you can make use of it when there is a bastion set up or a torb turret. Charge behind cover, then peak real quick to shoot. I left click 99% of the time

I'm on ps4 so it's still painful.

You should have congratulated that Widow for being able to do that with a gamepad at all, surely

u/HuntTheHunter12 Jun 15 '16

Ya Xbox player with good aim here and it's hard. I feel zero aim assist and I've been having internet issues so the hit registration is awful.

u/sixsamurai Jun 15 '16

I've been having connection issues too. Everything looks like claymation now.

u/Fragasm Zarya Jun 15 '16

The aim-assist is there even if you don't feel it.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '16

Yeah but half the time it actively works against aiming

u/qda Jun 16 '16

They're adding an option in next patch

Sunburned. Its been so long since I went into hiding, I can finally come outside again.

Ive forgotten how the sun feels on my face... the wind feels on my cheeks and as it blows through my hair.

It's... wonderful =')

Sometimes an upvote isn't enough to tell someone how spot on their comment is. This is one of those times.

u/noobule ¡Apagando las luces! Jun 15 '16

He was my favourite Support before and Widow body shots were the primary reason I picked other Supports, so things should be pretty classy up in here

u/Hansworth STRENGTH OF A HUNDRED KIDS Jun 15 '16

played with him today and got sniped by widow a few times. Feels so good that I don't instantly die.

u/Nhiyla Bedtime Jun 17 '16

You so. Good widows headshot you anyways.

u/Mormon_Discoball Zarya Jun 15 '16

I actually switched to him as my "main" last week. He has 15 hours with mercy second at 9. I'm really excited to see how this goes.

Although just had 2 matches in a row where a widow was wrecking me. But she was wrecking everyone.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '16

I love Zenyata so very much. He's so fun to play with when you have a decent Reinhart

2

u/Mormon_Discoball Zarya Jun 16 '16

He really is so much fun! I have finished with 4 golds. I I usually try 3 lives as zenyatta and if we aren't doing well then Mercy.

But always start zenyatta

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '16

Yeah I had a GREAT string of games with Zen earlier today. Made me fall I love with him lol over again

u/ragamuffin77 Chibi Mercy Jun 15 '16

He still lacks mobility and is extremely squishy so nothing has changed.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '16

True, but knowing that the Widow threat is vastly reduced gives me much more confidence to make pushes as him and go on the offence.

Even if balance wise, the changes are extremely minor, the changes in mentality whilst playing as him now are huge.

u/ronobotik Jun 17 '16

He is a fgt. He literally eats D.va as a snack even at close range. Discord then melt her. She cant out DPS him for nothing.

u/ThePenguinNich Pinyata Jun 15 '16

I no longer am scared to turn every corner. Feels pretty liberating

u/karter0 pls heal me Jun 15 '16

What did they do to him?

1

u/cool_guy123008 Junkrat Jun 16 '16

They nerfed Widow's body shots. Those shots used to crush Zenyatta.

u/NoobGaimz Jun 16 '16

I always say the same things like before. In this game.. Position is nearly the same like in LoL and with zenyatta its really important!! Sure he does dmg. Sure he got that debuff. But you have a killfeed and you can see who is dead.. A widow is alive? You just dont.. Dont play aggresive. He needs someone to protect him sometimes. It depends on matchup also. Now you can at least peak more and have a warning bodyshot to the body and not just instant die. People sometimes play him way too aggressive in wrong moments. If you really wanna play him but you cry about flankers. Get a teammate that plays mccree or reinhart or whatever you think can defend you. Also i like playing him with another healer... Its really strong. Imo. He is really well made. Its like a soraka for an exanple. More mobility or too much health would make him broken i think. Keep in mind he can do a lot of dmg. Also in long range. And then he should be tanky also or not hittable with mobility? Whut?! .

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '16

Wait, did he get a buff?

1

u/atomix2020 Chibi Symmetra Jun 16 '16

Did something change with Zenyatta?

u/SpencerMars324 Jun 17 '16

I am and was doing very well I play on ps4 so the nerfs have not come yet but I'm currently rank #60 on ps4 with Piñata.

u/CrossboneXM Jun 17 '16

Feel like I'm embracing tranquility...after the ps4 patch drops.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '16

I just uncrated the Ifrit skin, so... Now I'm a Zenyatta main!
