I'm not sure why you think it's impossible.
Is it the easiest circumstance? No.
Is it possible if you're playing carefully and adjusting your tactics? Yes.
Sym definitely isn't designed to thrash Pharah, but she definitely can make things difficult for her. Beyond directly addressing Pharah as I listed in my previous post, it's most important to remember Sym is a support. She can shield her team with proton barrier, which is highly effective against rocket strikes including Pharah's ultimate. She can also stay out of open areas and rely on cover to harass the enemy backline and drop ultimates to get her team into position to deal with Pharah more effectively.

Well I just received this which is cool, it’s kind vague though. I wish they would have joined my report and the player affected so I could get some satisfaction of which jerk got punished. 
Greetings,
Thank you for helping us keep Overwatch fair and fun by reporting players who you suspect are cheating or exploiting the game to gain an unfair advantage, or who are engaging in bad behavior. Your reports help us identify players who violate our fair-play and conduct policies and disrupt the game for others, making it less enjoyable to play.
We know that our players often wonder about what happens to the people they report. In this case, your recent reports led to actions against the account of one of the players you reported.
We can't provide specific details about the penalty type and duration, but we hope that seeing your reports have an impact will encourage you to send similar reports in the future. Keep up the good work, and thank you for helping us make our games a better place.
Regards,
Blizzard Support

Was watching that "through the grapevine" show about overwatch, and there was a rumor that Stitch got a league offer and Runner wanted him to take it but Stitch didn't want to leave his teammates. So now they are sticking together and someone will have to take them all.
I wonder if the next Apex season will end before the mid season of League?

lastnight in 2500 comp, our team had soldier mcree and torb and the other team kept pharah. he did ok but spent most of his time avoiding one of three hitscans.
i might start playing pharah though cause yeah hit scan is a counter but you have to kill her before she kills you (as hit scan) and she might have a pocket mercy, or just good at dodging you. and damnit its annoying chasing down a pharah as a hit scan just so she can get ressed and you do it all over again! i could have killed so many other people in the time we played "peek-aboo pole" x2

yeah I usually play reaper/mcree/soldier so when theres a good one that likes to just sit behind rein and blow shit up its mad annoying, cause soon as i say ok onto the next target that ho is behind me ulting. and with mercy-pocket its like fuck just shoot the mercy but then im still dodging rockets.
cant beat em join em lol. i do best as dps but lately i get comp games where no one heals, i actually had one game go the WHOLE time without a healer. sometimes i hate to heal cause i got where i am as dps usually get potg's on reaper and such so i feel im doing a disservice by healing if our dps sucks.
i've noticed playing comp at night is the suck though, do it during the day and better quality of players. less trolls/throwers/tracers/sombras lol.

Zenyatta is basically a carry support. He can compete for medals. Probably won't grab gold damage but can easily get gold elims if you position right to avoid deaths.

I've had an interesting season. I've got 7 hours on Mercy and Mei, with 3 on Zarya and 2 on Hog, and an hour or less on zen/win/mccree/ana/widow/phara/dva/tracer.
For winrates I'm 63 with Widow, 54 with Mei, 52 with Ana, 48 with hog, 47 with tracer, 41 with Mercy, 40 Zen, 37 Zarya, 33 Phara, 24 Winston, 24 Dva, 18 Mccree.
If stats could tell a story you'd think it was saying that my Mercy must be really bad. My guess as to good stats to check would be deaths average per 10 minutes, mine being 6 for Mercy, and healing done average per 10 minutes which is 9840.
The best Mercy I can look at ingame, a blizz employee I play with sometimes, is 5.4 on deaths, and 8304 on healing.
Looking at Mercy mains in my recent players list I see a 7 and 10391, a 5.75 and 9516, a 8.5 and 8000, a 7.1 and 10480.
My own best season where I ended mid plat I had a 5.4 and 8917.
The #1 Mercy on Overbuff is 6.52 and 14290
Pepperpig who I see all the time on pro streams is #3 and she has 6.71 and 15222. I also suspect she is Emma Watson IRL and is the unfortunate star of this clip:
Amourettie (Jesus's lady) is 7.78 and 13732
Dolphin is 7.68 and 14005
I'm guessing the higher healing is due to more damage being done to your team in the higher rankings, and it is probably alot harder to stay alive when people can actually shoot somewhat straight. I think most of the time I'm killed in silver it is like hanzo aiming at someone else and hitting me accidentally.
The only thing I can conclude from the above is that I'm likely consistently given bad teammates, and good healing isn't enough to win games, so I should use heros that kill stuff.

Cool, hopefully Mercy won't be seen as often.
I wonder if they fixed all the bugs with Moira since they were still on PTR.
She cannot damage Torb's turret with right click or damage orb.
She cannot damage Symmetra's turret with her damage orb, but she can with her right click.
Her orb can pass through wall in some places, notably on Volskaya first point the entire structure behind the point.
Her orbs are absorbed by Mei's wall instead of bouncing of the wall.
There were a few more I think, but those were the big ones.

Her right click goes hella far, been ruining some pharahs' days today! Great genji and tracer counter too. I think mercy will still be picked for the res.
just had someone in my game say why cant moira kill turrets.
her little damage orbs are great for capture points rofl

I think the other healers are viable now. There is finally a risk associated with the res as an E ability. The two person res during her Ultimate is ok.
