What do you guys think is the chance that blizzard implements skins from their other franchises? Like a Diablo Reinhardt skin

likely imo, based on the fact they started doing that in heroes of the storm kinda..
Kerrigan/Nova Widowmaker is probably guaranteed.

Have they said anything about how micro-transactions will work?
interesting. I've never, ever seen it. I've been avoiding supports lately because it's all I used to play before but maybe I'll keep trying for that magical POTG.
I think it's as likely as not. So far they seem to want to maintain the 'in-universe' style with Overwatch and not go absolutely crazy bonkers like HOTS which is their 'crossover game'. But man I really want a Warcraft goblin skin for Junkrat.

How is the MM in this working?
Im like 7 and matched with 10+ all the time
The difference between a level 7 and a level 10 is like 5 matches or something lol. Levels don't mean anything. Actual MMR is calculated separately and is hidden.
They've said they will sell loot boxes for cash, the same loot boxes you unlock by playing normally and leveling up. So you can't buy specific skins, but you can continue to buy loot boxes until you unlock the skin you want.
Highly likely, they love doing cosmetic crossover stuff like that. Especially for promotional reasons. Heck, "Tyrael's Charger" was added as a mount in WoW back during Diablo 3's launch if you committed to subbing to the game for year (you also got Diablo 3 included with that deal).
You can bet the BlizzCon virtual ticket for this year will include some sort of exclusive Overwatch skin. I wouldn't be surprised if Reinhardt got an paladin/Arthas skin at some point.
Even destroyed the mech continues to fire for the last bit while it explodes, which it really shouldn't, if d.va is getting jettisoned it needs to stop cause then it's just bullshit.
The rate is still bad, the last weekend it was bad, it was bad in november and it's still bad now. If i'm behind a wall already i shouldn't die to some stay bullet. that is infuriating when i'm completely behind a wall, die, and then on the kill cam it shows i didn't even make it to the wall., the same as if I was taking flight, if I'm already in the air and die (and my body does the crazy ragdoll physics that show I was in fast motion when died), I shouldn't see the kill cam be my body dying on the ground not having taken off, because there is a massive disconnect there between what two players experienced

Warcraft and Starcraft skins would be 'in-universe' though since both games exist in the Overwatch universe.

What is a builder and stuff?

The ingame credits you need if you want to buy them.
Tojrnbold or however you spell it and Symmetra I imagine.
The cost in credits to unlock it.
Symmetra and Torbjörn are considered builders.

Can anyone explain why the install button is not highlighted? It won't allow me to install.

You don't have an early access. You need to wait till Thursday.

For the end-match screen, is the "winner's circle" based on votes?? Seriously?
Is there a TDM mode? Isn't this going to suck as a solo player if it's all objective based modes? In COD, playing objective modes as a solo player is sooooo bad.

You have to put in a pre-order early access code. If you ordered before a certain date you should already have an e-mail. If you don't it is probably coming but might not make it before early beta access is over. Once Open Beta starts you'll get the install option.
What winner's circle? You can vote on any of the 3-4 cards that show up *after* they show up, but it doesn't really do anything other than give somebody a pat on the back.
The matchmaking tends to match solo queue vs. solo queue and premade vs. premade. Solo queue doesn't really matter since you can play heroes that don't need teamwork if you don't want to.

I've watched so many videos of this game and finally got to give it a play this morning on PS4 and I LOVE it. Can't believe how good it feels without a keyboard and mouse. Day 1 for sure now, I'm very impressed.
I know that, I mean for release, someone said blizzard said it was not going to be in for release

It will be interesting to see if the Blizzard player-base that has been trained against communication will actually embrace it in this game. I was surprised voice-chat is in by default given that it's not present in Hots, but I was not surprised that no one is using it.

Makes sense. You can also bet we'll be getting a stitches roadhog skin
"Winners circle"? Not sure what you mean. If you mean the voting cards they're just for fun. They don't do anything. It just picks 4 people who had the highest values in those respective fields (every hero has some hero specific card they can perform well against, and then you've got the general ones like objective time, elims, etc). For example getting like 2000 damage blocked as Zarya would be really high compared to the benchmarks they use so you'd probably get a card up there, where 2000 damage blocked with Reinhardt would be terrible and it wouldn't show up more than likely.
Competitive mode is being reworked (It was in beta for the last 2 months). That doesn't mean matchmaking isn't in, matchmaking works in all modes of play. In competitive it's a lot simpler in fact and purely based upon your competitive rank. Everywhere else it's a hidden MMR.
Nothing. Just there to make you feel good and/or to let others know you appreciate them.
Competitive aka ranked mode won't be in at launch. Every player has a hidden MMR that is used when compiling groups in Quick Play (and Brawl, I believe) to ensure you are playing with people roughly your skill level.

I admit it was pretty sick but I couldn't help but get salty at a Genji who deflected my Graviton Surge back at my whole team and we got wiped.
I hadn't heard that, ugh that's not cool. Gambling
if you get dupes you can sell for credits to then buy something you want. not sure if you can sell 1st time drops or not. it may be a feature coming in a later update.

I solo queued a ton throughout the closed beta. It's more fun with friends but very playable without.
This game just wasn't designed at all in mind of TDM. It would be terrible too.

If it isn't cool then don't buy loot boxes. All they are is fluff.
If you want a particular item just buy it with the currency you get simply by playing. I've bought some poses and a couple skins already.

It means everyone on the enemy team is dead.
it means the enemy team is all dead. if you're on offense it means you should be pushing the objective hard. if you're on defense it means you did a good job and can take a little breather before the enemy comes back.

Yeah, I forgot to check my email. All sorted now.
How do you get credits? Just playing matches?

Question: what button do you hold to change hero when you die? My Xbox says HOLD TO CHANGE HERO but there's no button prompt, and nothing seems to actually bring up the hero select screen.
Incidentally: this game is amazing.

What time is it?
Square on Playstation so I'd assume X on the Xbox pad.
Okay so you can purchase skins, just only with ingame loot and not real money? I'm okay as long as the only way is just buying loot boxes and getting lucky with that particular skin.
