I also accidentally befriended a pro Widowmaker by the name of Belpheagor. She kept landing headshots on me and after like the 6th time I wrote in the chat, “Widow plz” because I know from prior experience that it tends to work.
She wrote back, “Mercy I’m sorry, but I have to.” After that she only landed body shots on me, but she was definitely more hesitant to land any shots on me.
Later, I was going around the back of the point to try and get to someone and I ran point blank into her. She stared at me through her scope for a few seconds; I “Hello!”ed to try and pull on her heartstrings. She shot the Pharah coming up behind me, gave me a look, and then grappled away.
She wrote in the chat, “Did you see how I didn’t shoot you” and next thing I know I had a friend request from her.
On the one hand: Junkrat being immune to his own bombs but Pharah being vulnerable to hers makes sense from a game play perspective, as Junkrat does more close quarters fighting and Pharah is designed for long range
On the other hand: It make no sense that Pharah’s advanced battle armor provides less protection than Junkrat’s crappy jorts
On the other other hand: Junkrat having blown himself up so many times his immune system adapted to it is the best possible thing to happen in Overwatch’s lore
