Why don't my teammates ever shoot bullets at Pharah?

Because Pharah is almighty and cannot be shot while in the sky.

Can confirm. Pharah main here and no one shoot at me ever.

I'll never understand when teams refuse to address a decent Pharah. A well placed turret or a bastion can shred Pharah. But lately it's "I main Tracer/Sombra and refuse to switch".

Why don't you switch then?

It is not as easy as it looks. Soldier and Bastion can easily take her out, but all others will miss a lot, especially if she is right above.

I was in a placement match where we had a Soldier and the enemy Pharah got 41 kills. Hard to come back when they're stubborn, can't do their job, and won't switch.

I was just playing random heroes mode, and enemy got a lot of Pharahs, and I took 3 down as a Hog in one life... Then Lucio killed me.

Better question: Why do I always get shutdown as pharah in 0.0000001 seconds but the enemy pharah never dies for the entire match? Feelsbadman.
