How to play wrecking ball?

he’s the first hero i can’t figure out how to use…

i can’t get the hang of his sling (or rather can’t figure out how to get it to work) half the time it goes on cooldown and did nothing and other times you can spam it but doesn’t do anything…

Just take it slowly. Forget About Piledriver and any vertical movement and focus on learning the horizontal stuff, like swinging around corners and bringing the ball up to speed reliably. Custom game is your friend. I went with Lunar Horizon because it’s fairly tight spaces yet multiple levels. Once the horizontal stuff works alright, you can practice dropping on the points and whatnot. It really helps being on your own, without getting shot at. By the time I timed out, I was already looking a lot better than the QP hamsters help- and harmlessly dangling somewhere only to get killed.

Oh, and one thing about the grapple: Always make sure to target the floor, not the rails. It still fails sometimes, though. God knows why.

problem is… it shoots but appart from seeing it fly forward… it does nothing… no matter what i try to hit (walls, floor, ceiling, beams, poles, etc.) nothing seems to work!

either it’s broken AF or i’m doing something verry wrong

This may sound stupid, but… you keep holding the button, right? It certainly does have issues at times, where it won’t grab for whatever reason, just like with Widowmaker, but for the most part it should work if you’re within range.

I was just on the practice range (“working” the Towers with Hammond is kinda like a Marble Madness minigame :joy:) and other than that phone booth looking box thingie over where the moving bots are and some of the angled edges on the top of the buildings nothing should cause problems there.

Is your mouse having issues maybe? Can you fully charge that right-click orb volley with Zen?
