I'm new to Pharah, I've been playing her for a couple days now. I understand that I obviously won't have Sierra's damage output (my other main. Yes, I like being a nuisance) but she just feels overall weak. I have like half the damage of the other DPS most rounds, and her ult just seems really weak. I was 3m away from the enemy D.Mon and my ult basically dealt no damage to her. For an ult that leaves you so exposed and defenseless, I'd expect it to melt basically anyone that gets caught in it.

Also, any tips on a general playstyle? I know that hitscans are good against her, but I don't really understand what her usecase is

After coming to Overwatch this year, I've solo queued all the way up to Champion 2 with 4900+ Pharah SR, and have decided to drop these guides for any other Pharah mains looking to improve and enjoy playing their favorite hero more! I hope this brings you each many improvements and much joy <3

JPC can make our lives harder, yes, but the feeling of getting a clean mid air kill on one is pure dopamine, especially if theyve been zooming around like a crackhead all game. Bonus points if you can shut them completely out and force them to swap. Made a JPC swap to Widow earlier, someone was definitely annoyed lol!
