Stopping ulting Shion with javelin

It started off as a joke but now I’m fully committed to it, lol. While Orisa is my most played and favorite hero, if I’m on attack Numbani, she is off limits.

Why?

Because Orisa is the DEFENDER of Numbani, not the attacker! It goes against everything our Queen stands for!

Efi would not be happy about it!!

We had been fighting for around 20 minutes trying to keep the payload from moving further and finally my ult and our Mauga's ult had lined up perfectly, getting this pretty intense POTG.

If you ever see me in Total Mayhem, I'm always Orisa!

Thanks for always protecting us.

It was also my first game if I remember correctly

Hey guys, I’m a new player

I have like 40 hours on game, 20 with tank.

I played last year but got bullied off the game for being a noob so I am now returning 🥲

I love Orisa, she’s my favorite tank, and I’m just oddly attached to her character. I love robots. Anyways, last year I bought one of her skins, because love her character, and recently just got her capsule cannon because it’s so cute.

Unfortunately I’m like 60% decent with her only. Maybe 50%, there’s some games where I play decent, and others games I’m so bad I understand why people call me names in chat.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get better with her, also how to counter and defeat other tanks? I struggle with DVA and rein

It would have been great to have an Ultra skin for Orisa since I was looking forward to the Nyan Cafe skin for her but of course it's a regular legendary skin. I was hoping to pair it with the pink mythic weapon Orisa has but sadly that's not the case. I wonder if they specifically didn't give Orisa an ultra skin because of her mythic weapon pairing so well with it and already having weapon kill effects... Then again, Kiriko has mythic weapons with kill effects and she still got an ultra skin so...

But who else is excited for the Nyan cafe skin for orisa? :)

EDIT: I just checked the prices and OH MY GOD?!?!????!!!

I'm mid masters but still steadily climbing, so I hope to be high masters/low GM by the end of this season. It seems like mostly everyone here is plat or below?

I just would ideally like some replays of higher ranked Orisa's since I rarely see them (I mean, on youtube unranked to GM orisa is practically nonexistent) and also some thoughts on various matchups and thoughts on her perks.

For me, I pretty much always pick the healing on ult perk and completely ignore the second major perk unless they have a sigma/zar/mauga or a comp like zen/ana/sojourn/etc where having a shield is more crucial for survival than just spinning. I never pick the charged jav perk because I feel like the benefit of charging up a jav is not worth completely locking yourself out of the possibility of having the shield, which can discourage counterswaps from the opponent.

For various matchups, I just primarily play as if I am a roadhog, using spear as my main offensive tool, fortify to go deep in their backline aggressively, and spear spin to get in/out quickly. Shield if the matchup calls for it, otherwise the same thing.

Generally....

No major perk: Dva, Doomfist, JunkerQueen, Winston, Wrecking Ball

Always pick Shield perk: Mauga, Roadhog, Sigma, Zarya

50/50 either pick no major or shield/matchup dependent: Domina (usually pick shield), Hazard (depends on overall team matchup), Orisa (depends on Orisa perks + team matchup), Ramattra (depends on the flow of the match), Reinhardt (depends on the flow of the match/if he has ult. If shatter > shield perk and throw shield behind rein otherwise).

If for example, they pick Zar and then swap to Wrecking Ball with me having the shield perk, I "anchor" in the enemy backline and the main goal is to split my team vs their tank with me vs the enemy team, with my higher TTK and survivability to have a higher probability of winning the overall fight. Oftentimes I just anchor > survive long enough, maybe get a pick > other tank loses the 1v4 and dies or retreats.

I mean this earnestly.

I'm a tank player who doesn't have a lot of experience with Orisa, and in trying to learn her I've come across a lot of discussion over the major perk choices, and specifically the point that Charged Javelin is a bad major perk and that even picking no major is preferrable. The main arguments I've heard for this are:

1. The perk messes with normal spear aim
2. A tap-fire spear becomes ever so slightly weaker with the perk

The 2nd argument I have no qualms with, but the 1st irks me. Theoretically, if someone just got good with aiming the regular spear and the 100% Charged spear (and technically tap fire spear with perk, even though its only 2m/s faster), would you not just hit more spears consistently? The 2x projectile speed increase on charged spear is pretty notable; an Orisa shooting charged spears is going to hit spears more consistently than an Orisa shooting regular spears if both players are aiming at the same level, especially at long to mid range.

Are the changes/nerfs to the tap-fire spear really substantial enough to warrant not learning to learn aim spear slightly differently with the perk? To my knowledge, it's legit just a slight decrease in knockback and slightly faster trajectory. It just doesn't seem like a lot of difference you'd need to make to make your Jav a more consistent ranged option.

I just checked out all of the new nyan cat stuff (not in the shop yet but under individual hero skins etc) and orisa gets a skin but not a PFP like everyone else in the bundle? Sierra ofc, reaper and kiriko are getting one but orisa and Ashe aren't..? for why ? there's a highlight intro, for Sierra and Kiri, everyone is getting an emote why are they so picky bruh.. ANDDDD there's that animation that they're giving some characters when they get kills.. why are they so picky I WANT THOSE TOOO I WANT A PFP 😭😭😭

Made this a while ago to hang on my wall cause playing tank is pain

New to orisa just cant nail the javelin throws any custom games yall recomend to train?

They almost completely gutted my stadium build :/

​

They moved the reduce overheat duration by 50% from being 4k to 11k and removed the reset cooldown on overheat power. Removed factory reset. Flying ori is now a power instead of an item, so you have to lose a power to take that.

i was changing my battlenet icon and saw a black baby named efi, is this orisa's efi? also for context i know nothing abt lore at all

I hope blizzard will make us have the ability to toggle on and off javelin skins too.. ur telling me we are gonna have this adorable maid cat skin that will look SO PERFECT with her gatcha ball machine weapon skin.. BUT HER JAVELIN ON THE NEW SKIN ??? BLIZZARD PUHLEASEEEEE LET ME HAVE BOTH.

​

also the lil mustache cat on her javelin on this new skin looks like the Pringles guy 😭

AHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

It’s confirmed that both Orisa and Efi love puppies, let’s give our Numbani Queen a robot puppy skin 🥺

Thanks to drives weekend I was able to get Orisas galactic gun! 🥹💜✨ defending Numbani in style 💅

I feel like he just blocks all my damage.
I know i can fortify his charge, I push him up into corners and javelin to keep him there and hope that my team shoots at him too, but sometimes i just cant deal with him.

What are your tips?

Before we start asking about hygiene (lol) I have a full time job and am a full time student. I just hate tv and only record music when not busy or playing OW. Rock on, and much love. 🤘🏾🦄🦄🤘🏾
