I may be biased towards him, but I believe he's one of the strongest, most underrated and least understood characters. Countless times I've found my team backing away from me when I pop Transcendence and I have to basically reiterate "come with me if you want to live." Hopefully more people will be aware of how valuable a Zen can be as this game grows.
hein myat Not really sure either. I think it's meant to be pretty vague or possibly some new ideology, though him being from Nepal leads me to believe he's Buddhist.
I assumed Buddhist at first but his clothes that he wears at his waist looks Indian. The emote where he brings out his hand out of his back also looks Hindu. I guess he's a mix of both?
hein myat Well I'm more willing to think Buddhist still because the back part of his belt has the Japanese kanji for "Zen". Furthers the confusion in a way, too. Whatever the case, he's a cool character!
Zenyatta has quickly become my personal favorite hero of the cast. He is an incredibly useful tool in an offensive team's arsenal and can work well with a Reinhardt to almost single-handedly wipe out enormous sections of the map. I'll actually tend to use him in the place of offensive heroes like McCree or Reaper. While he's most effective on Capture Point and Payload maps, he's still a force to be reckoned with in Overwatch's version of KoTH. That being said, he's tough to get the hang of and even after 20 hours as him, I'm still having trouble getting some of his themes down to where I'd want them. Overall, he's a great hero and deserves all of the praise that people throw at him.
All of your overwatch guides are incredibly well done. Great work !! It`s very informative (specially numeric values) and it`s done at such a good pace. I`ve been recommending to anyone I know
This video series is so professional and informative, it's a wonder how it hasn't gotten more publicity yet. Maybe it'll happen when the open beta starts or at launch.
He was my main next to Pharah in the beta. The best support I ever played in a game. I have done some really good sustain since I'm really spastic with my heals so I can effectively heal a team really well.
If only overwatch players actually worked toghether and not everybody ran into battle solo like a jackass 90% of matches this has happened to me so it was impossible to play as zenyatta however when the planets aline and you get a group of players that actually give a shit about teamwork then i can tell you those were the best games i've ever played
This game is so freaking fun. It does take like a day or two to get used to, but once you get used to it, you'll never want to stop playing. I didn't regret choosing this over BO3. :)
You say at 2:38 that Transcendence heals 130 hp/second, but the wiki states it's only 100/sec. Was it buffed before close or just a mistake on your end?
+Kindkiller43 We'll have to wait for open beta to double check but my source is the Oversheet. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KzjgwG2qsaYlFp3KxXGh27FtA11aRLqntCfcK37b_Hg/edit#gid=440699868
Even though I played tons of the closed beta I still find your videos immencly useful and entertaining! I'll make sure to link your vids to all my future teammates :D
Zenyatta can oneshot any hero excluding Roadhog if they have a discord orb on and Zenyatta uses his alt fire fully charged and gets all headshots. Pretty difficult to do but says alot about how much damage a character who's meant to be support can do.
Zenyatta isn't a support like what most people think, he'e more of a dps that can heal when necessary but for the most of the time you should be throwing your discord and getting picks and not sitting back giving your teammates harmony orb, if you play him for the healing, you're much better off using mercy or ana since they can heal at more than twice the rate he can and lucio even, can heal at the same rate but can heal 5 people at once, Zenyatta trades his mobility for healing as most of the dps's have mobility abilities but can't heal. As for the rest of his kit, it screams I'M A DPS HERO
+HighCaliber350 it would be neat if you could have multiple targets affected by either buff/debuff orb, with its effectiveness multiplying dependent upon the # of targets being affected; 1 person - 100% effectivity, 2 people - 50% effectivity, etc.
Great video. You didn't say it explicitly, but it's worth mentioning you can only have one healing orb and one orb of discord on the field at any time.
i'm more a support type person, so using zenyatta is so perfect to me. i love his low damage inflict attack, it is so awesome especially if my other team members are around me
Oh man, that old 150 health bar, slow travel time for orbs, and 1/2 movement speed while transcending feels so long ago. I was already pretty deadly with him in before the buffs, but they've really turned him around since then.
zenyatta is a hybrid character really. Most players label him as more of an offense hero then a support hero. He's actually pretty similar to soldier 76 in that way. I'd even go as far as saying that he can replace a soldier 76 in a lot of situations although he isn't quite as good on the flank as soldier is. And his fire-rate and EXCELLENT accuracy make headshots from him a very deadly situation
Zenyatta needs either a 50hp increase or movement speed increase. The fact that you have to remain in line of sight in order for your Orbs to be effective is justification enough for a buff. At least Mercy has an escape (with more total health), Lucio is practically a constantly healing tank (with more total health). Symmetra is a different story but even then, she still has more health.
I disagree with the health buff as I've managed to get good kill streaks with him without any shields but I do think he could use a movement speed upgrade
they had to nerf him because his orb of discord and harmony would stay with their targets even after they broke line of sight or killed him, to the pint where teams where 2 zens 2 genji and other heroes
Zen yantra is my favorite support. He may be labeled as a support but he deals a ton of damage. I call him the assassin monk. I'm not really much of a Mercy player since I find it quite dull to just fly around and heal. Lastly, I love that, as you stated, his health is mostly armor so he essentially heals himself from anything non lethal.
+Kyle Reganit Actually it's shields not armor. ;-) I love playing him, too. Just takes a lot of practice to know where you should be and even more to know where you shouldn't be. I am still in the process of learning. There is no other hero that can be destroyed as quickly as pretty much every DD rips through your HP in mere seconds and his low mobility makes it easy for flankers to take him out but if you have a good team that works together you can be a real beast and it is incredibly rewarding to do well with him. :)
Zenyatta feels like a great long range healer. Since you can kinda snipe with him so long as you have a good vantage point. Plus since orbs have consistent damage you can deal damage to the enemy in peace so long as Widow or Hanzo isn't lining up a shot on you.
This guy has officially become my main support character. While I'm still trying to get used to him, I did magnificent as him by helping out my teammates with harmony orbs and transcendence as well as making enemies weaker with Discord orbs. I may prefer the other guys like Reaper, Pharah, etc., but if I new to go support, then damn right I'll help out as Zenyatta.
Also you cant Discord someone shielded, like Reinhardt when his shield is up, anyone behind Reinhardts shield or Zarya when her shield is active/she shielded someone. Note that the discord Orb disappears occasionally, when certain enemy heroes do specific abilities. Diva will lose discord when losing her Mech Tracer will lose discord when Time Warping Reaper will lose discord when going into wraith form Bastion will NOT lose it when transforming to turret/Ult or back to normal. Also after Widow was nerfed and can't one shot Zenyatta with a fully charged body shot anymore, he is way stronger. Still a very offensive support, as he said, consider a second healer - either Mercy or Lucio
I'd consider him far more of a defensive support than offensive, specifically for area control maps. Remember that these denotations have nothing to do with how much damage the hero can do (example: Bastion). Long-range, poor mobility, shield sustain (which is optimal for harassing), and an ability that maximizes the effect of converging fields of fire as enemies come into line of sight for hero pick-offs are hallmarks of what a defensive hero should have. His ultimate is not for pushing, it's for anti-pushing/counter ultimate. As many have pointed out, Zenyatta doesn't want to be in the middle of the action if he can choose, since he will melt after his ultimate is done. Lucio is the offensive area control support. Neither are optimal for payload, where the other two supports are used.
i love playing the supports (mainly zen and lucio) and honestly the first time i picked up zen i did not find him hard to play. but i do agree that he can be squishy and shouldn't be at thw front line and i feel he is best played in open king of the hill maps
I love Zenyatta, We can play two roles with him, justa fantastic! But I have a doubt, the orb of harmony and the orb of discord can be seen by the rest of the team?
+Thomas “Ritchie” Riches I did try something a little different with the audio on this but it wasn't for anything clever like that. I decided it had too much base in the end and haven't used the same process again.
+DontPanic562 If something is blocking your line of sight to the target for 3 seconds the orb will return and you'll receive a Harmony/Discord Orb has Returned message.
+The Heartless Hero Yes, but I don't expect large changes now, number tweaks is what I would predict. Extending the time on the healing orb or changing the amount healed. They already tweaked this last week when it was increased from 25 to 30. The nerf was to stop the overpowered double flanker, double Zenyatta comp and to make his Orb of Discord a little more interactive for the enemy. We'll see what they do but I think annotations will be all that's needed. If not I'll redo the guide, which isn't a big problem. I really enjoy playing Zenyatta. :)
I have a few questions since I don't own the game to check them out myself. 1) Does Zen. only have 1 discord orb and 1 harmony orb? 2) Can you have the orbs return by just pressing the buttons again, or do they return only from the player dying/being out of your sight?
Actually if you learn to use him, you dont need to stay away from assassins like genji tracer hanzo or widowmaker. Once you get the hang of him just use discord with orbs of destruction and youll be fine. You need to be really good as him for this though
I was the same when I first started playing him. I just assumed I can HoT my entire team, this seems balanced and fun. Like playing a Druid during Wrath of the Lich King... Then I realised and was like "Oooh."
I see too many trying to play him as a solo healer when statistically he has the lowest healing of all the supports but the highest dps, hes definately an off healer and best paired up with a main healer like Ana or Mercy
***** 50 more health, he moves 2x as fast while ulting, his ult heals more hp/s, and his harmony and discord orbs travel to the target almost instantly
I use Transcendence when the team is taking burst damage, usually when another hero on the opposing team pops a powerful ult (Bastion and DVa especially). Sometimes it's also nice to just throw him in when there's a huge melee going on, as the 130 heal per second pretty much makes your teammates invulnerable for as long as his ult is up as long as they aren't taking more damage than he can heal (which is rare).
Leslie Hlavaty But... transcendence won't do any good against D.va or bastion. Those both instantly kill. No time for the transcendence heal to do anything
+SonicSanctuary Yes he can, he can capture and contest points. I've used his ult as a delaying tactic when the enemy is about to cap a point giving my team time to catch up.
I don't know why, but for whatever reason, EVERYBODY wants to play as Zenyatta as the only healer on the team. I wouldn't mind if this only happened a couple of times, but the amount of times I've had to switch to Mercy or Lucio is ridiculous since everybody just thinks that Zenyatta can work as the only healer.
I may be biased towards him, but I believe he's one of the strongest, most underrated and least understood characters. Countless times I've found my team backing away from me when I pop Transcendence and I have to basically reiterate "come with me if you want to live." Hopefully more people will be aware of how valuable a Zen can be as this game grows.
Appropriate username is appropriate.
+hein myat That being said, I'm not sure if Zenyatta is Buddhist or Hindu.
hein myat Not really sure either. I think it's meant to be pretty vague or possibly some new ideology, though him being from Nepal leads me to believe he's Buddhist.
I assumed Buddhist at first but his clothes that he wears at his waist looks Indian. The emote where he brings out his hand out of his back also looks Hindu. I guess he's a mix of both?
hein myat Well I'm more willing to think Buddhist still because the back part of his belt has the Japanese kanji for "Zen". Furthers the confusion in a way, too. Whatever the case, he's a cool character!
Favorite support for sure. I love the insane damage output he has even against tanks, and his attack animations are really fun to look at.
Zenyatta has quickly become my personal favorite hero of the cast. He is an incredibly useful tool in an offensive team's arsenal and can work well with a Reinhardt to almost single-handedly wipe out enormous sections of the map.

Zenyatta is an absolute beast. Hands down my favorite character to play as. What other toon can get a 36 kill streak AND keep his team alive?
Torbjörn if the enemy team is not smart enough to use the other doors or counter him.
+GodTheBear soldier 76 can :)
Ive gotten a 40 kill streak with Zenyatta Reaper Symmetra McCree and Reinhaet
Sure you have.
+lenny I bloody hates comments like this either you or OP

Something I can get behind.

I love zenyata but his r2 is so weak and I never use his discord
If only overwatch players actually worked toghether and not everybody ran into battle solo like a jackass 90% of matches this has happened to me so it was impossible to play as zenyatta however when the planets aline and you get a group of players that actually give a shit about teamwork then i can tell you those were the best games i've ever played

Thanks
Thank you so much for giving us a tutorial on how to dominate as Zenyatta, it was very helpful to me. Keep up the good war :D
I found him one of the hardest heroes to get my head around. This was really helpful!
The Duracell Hearing Test commercial before this video was really touching, made me shed a tear or two...
All of these videos are amazing, very helpful! Keep up the good work!
Hey man keep the great work up! I love your content and really enjoy watching your videos...especially the overwatch guides ;)

Great video as always. Keep up the great work
named after a horse
Zenyatta - one of the greatest ever
2:12 IIRC Mei can also dispel the orb of harmony using her Cryo Freeze, as well as by enemy Zenyattas using Transcendance.
Exactly what i was looking for, great guide. thanks!
only played support because no one did and had the best fun with this character
You can only have 1 orb of discord and healing active at a time right?
hed be op otherwise
+HighCaliber350 it would be neat if you could have multiple targets affected by either buff/debuff orb, with its effectiveness multiplying dependent upon the # of targets being affected; 1 person - 100% effectivity, 2 people - 50% effectivity, etc.
That Discord Orb turns Zenyatta into a MONSTER!
Keep up, man! Good videos, with much useful info. Thanks!
Dhalsim.
2.0
I love it.
Dhalsim with balls.
Last Dhalsim had balls, but he just didn't show it.
Actually... Zenyatta is from Nepal and Dhalsim from India.
Dhalsim with balls that he actually throws at you.
I knew he reminded me of someone!
Great video. You didn't say it explicitly, but it's worth mentioning you can only have one healing orb and one orb of discord on the field at any time.

+That_Feed Gaming Thanks. Don't worry they are coming. Loads coming every day at the moment.
Nice! Cant wait to see you grow :D
+Cynical Nerds what?? Been watching your stuff for like two weeks now, your vids are so professional I thought you had like 300k+ subs
We're still very new. If we keep making the content. They will come. ;)
+Cynical Nerds Can just agree love your voice :X #nohomo :D I really improved using your Vids ! Thanks a lot you got a new sub :)
yes yes I like this guide it has a lot of balls hitting a pig
Love this character, i got my first epic with him, and I surprisingly got a play of the game
I feel like Zenyatta is a character I could get down and enjoy. He might as well be my main.
This guy has officially become my main support character.

SandViper I don't think you understand what secondary means.
dude great job on the vid, keep it up! peace
That helps so much. First time I played zenyatta I just sit there and say that he sucks cuz his heal and debuff just go away too quickly
i love playing the supports (mainly zen and lucio) and honestly the first time i picked up zen i did not find him hard to play. but i do agree that he can be squishy and shouldn't be at thw front line and i feel he is best played in open king of the hill maps
awesome one as usual!
Another helpful vid, thanks!!
I love Zenyatta, We can play two roles with him, justa fantastic! But I have a doubt, the orb of harmony and the orb of discord can be seen by the rest of the team?
4 Zenyatta is hilarious.
get to a control point . pop all 4 ults in succession.
3:45 should have an annotation, it's now 150 out of his 200 hp are shields.
Is it just me or does the reader's voice sound like it's going through a filter, to keep in theme with Zenyatta?
+Thomas “Ritchie” Riches I did try something a little different with the audio on this but it wasn't for anything clever like that. I decided it had too much base in the end and haven't used the same process again.
We are in harmony.
This helped so mcuh, thanks
Having a symetra with a zenyata allows him to do more and go in further into a fight.
hanzo next?
Zenyatta
is by far the best character in my opinon... i love helping people but i also like attacking so its best of both worlds
Great video, thank you!
zenyatta healing can be quite a lot, if you are good and do lots of dmg the ulti charges faster.
your voice is so satisfying, I love it!!
Mondatta guide next please.
+ZimbabweanGhost I love your avatar! Saori~! :D
Press lshift to give speech, press E to get jfk'd.
I can't wait till i get this game, and i'm getting Origins so i'll get some bonus skins and even more stuff for other games such as Diablo and WoW
Cool guide but I'm a little confused about the orb returning aspect of him.
+DontPanic562 If something is blocking your line of sight to the target for 3 seconds the orb will return and you'll receive a Harmony/Discord Orb has Returned message.
+DontPanic562 You can also change orb targets by pressing shift or E.
Zenyatta is more subject to change considering the nerfs to the orbs being experimental.
+The Heartless Hero Yes, but I don't expect large changes now, number tweaks is what I would predict. Extending the time on the healing orb or changing the amount healed. They already tweaked this last week when it was increased from 25 to 30. The nerf was to stop the overpowered double flanker, double Zenyatta comp and to make his Orb of Discord a little more interactive for the enemy.
We'll see what they do but I think annotations will be all that's needed. If not I'll redo the guide, which isn't a big problem. I really enjoy playing Zenyatta. :)
Who was your favorite hero to play during the closed beta?
I have a few questions since I don't own the game to check them out myself. 1) Does Zen. only have 1 discord orb and 1 harmony orb? 2) Can you have the orbs return by just pressing the buttons again, or do they return only from the player dying/being out of your sight?
great guide!
Does the orb of harmony's healing stack with mercy's?
Nice thank you this helped me alot
I fucking love Mecha Ghandi. He's amazing.
Does the orb of discord doubles the damage made on reinhart's barrier?
+XenWarriorTheReal No, you cannot headshot or discord the barrier, it will only ever take base damage.
experience tranquility
Zenyata is my favorite character.
+Archn Scythe mine too
***** That damage though. Pew pew pew.
Actually if you learn to use him, you dont need to stay away from assassins like genji tracer hanzo or widowmaker. Once you get the hang of him just use discord with orbs of destruction and youll be fine. You need to be really good as him for this though
Zenyatta is my favorite support.
so .. i`m not sure i got it right.. if i put the orb on enemy .. the enemy will recive higher damage only from me ? or even from my team members?
haydeezz More damage from you and the rest of your team, basically marking them for death
How many orbs can Zenyatta have out at once? As in can you be healing 2 characters at once?
You can only have 1 of each Orb at once. 1 healing and 1 discord.
I feel like they need to increase his health to 200
He is a hero of balance why not have 100 health and 100 shield
+Saul Romero no u :3
He really does. Getting killed by a body shot from widowmaker is complete bullshit.
If you play him right he doesn't need it
+Pepe teh frog No shit. Of course I've noticed that. I do agree with you now, he does not need a health buff since the widow nerf
Both orbs are unique right? Which means that only one of each of them can up at the same time? So i can't HoT, and DoT everyone around me?!
+Daaell Yes, sorry I should have said you can only have 1 of each out at any time.
+Cynical Nerds Didn't know that. Oooh.
I was the same when I first started playing him. I just assumed I can HoT my entire team, this seems balanced and fun. Like playing a Druid during Wrath of the Lich King... Then I realised and was like "Oooh."
wait i misread and thought you could only have discord and harmony out at once and was like "did i just not notice somehow" haha
thanks man appreciate the tips (:
I see too many trying to play him as a solo healer when statistically he has the lowest healing of all the supports but the highest dps, hes definately an off healer and best paired up with a main healer like Ana or Mercy
are allies able to see the orb of discord yet?(if not I hope they will be able to soon)
cool videos about heroes
I really like his pigeon skin XD
so, will this be updated now that zenyatta has been buffed?
***** 50 more health, he moves 2x as fast while ulting, his ult heals more hp/s, and his harmony and discord orbs travel to the target almost instantly
Great video, but you didn't really discuss how/when to use his ult effectively. This is the hardest part for me.
I use Transcendence when the team is taking burst damage, usually when another hero on the opposing team pops a powerful ult (Bastion and DVa especially). Sometimes it's also nice to just throw him in when there's a huge melee going on, as the 130 heal per second pretty much makes your teammates invulnerable for as long as his ult is up as long as they aren't taking more damage than he can heal (which is rare).
Leslie Hlavaty But... transcendence won't do any good against D.va or bastion. Those both instantly kill. No time for the transcendence heal to do anything
Transcendence effectively protects you from D.va's ultimate! ;)
Zen is my favorite hero.
can he still cap stuff while he is invulnerable?
+SonicSanctuary Yes he can, he can capture and contest points. I've used his ult as a delaying tactic when the enemy is about to cap a point giving my team time to catch up.
You're great man!
I don't know why, but for whatever reason, EVERYBODY wants to play as Zenyatta as the only healer on the team. I wouldn't mind if this only happened a couple of times, but the amount of times I've had to switch to Mercy or Lucio is ridiculous since everybody just thinks that Zenyatta can work as the only healer.
if you mark someoen with the discord orb, can everyone on yourteam see him or only you ?
