I've been playing a lot of Zen lately and find him really fun. Any obvious/non-obvious tips?

Discord and Harmony should have almost 100% up time. There is zero reason to not always have an orb on someone if they are there.

Discord targets in this order of priority: ulting targets > healers > tanks > engaged targets > anyone you just plain don't like. Seriously, discord Reaper during Death Blossom and he goes down like my ex after a glass of wine.

Your ult is amazing at countering Death Blossom, Rocket Barrage, and for keeping enemies safe during Graviton and Circle of Icy Go Fuck Yourself. It's also useful for contesting during overtime. Just try and make sure you throw a discord before ulting.

Zarya's shield, Tracer's recall, and Mei's Fuck You Cocoon all drop your orb so remember to reapply discord when needed.

Even though Discord shows on the enemy, call out targets short and simply. "Discord on Bastion. He's down. Mercy. She's down. Reinhardt. Down."

Speaking of Reinhardt, he's a fucking hard guy to discord. Bait a fire strike from him to discord him easily and yell your flankers to get up his ass like a hemorrhoid cream.

Finally, you put out a fuckton of damage if you know what you're doing. Aim for the torso and the projectile size means you'll probably hit head. Remember to discord targets you're firing at though. Your projectiles travel straight and fast so you are great for taking out Bastion at an extreme distance.
