It's not working for me at all. That's so weird. Like, no prompt button icon or whatever, and I can hold X for as long as I like, nothing happens. Beta stuff, I guess...

Even tho. we lost... lol.they could sell currency and xp boosters if they wanted. anything cosmetic to feed free maps, heroes, and modes.
They drop randomly from loot boxes in varying amounts and any duplicate items you receive will be automatically converted to credits.
Maybe you unbound it somehow? Check your key bindings.
Okay, thanks!
His entire team showed up for their mate, looks like they beat you there!
Seriously?
Someone on your team is a traitor.

I am pretty sure you just hit print screen. Maybe you can change it in the control options.
Sitting up on the point with shield raised doesn't get a lot of love I guess
Seriously?
looks like everyone on his team voted for him. are you really surprised?
Preferring the shooter disregards any attempt the defender has It just happened to me again. I use the boost to get away from a soldier's fire. I was already in the air and died, after I had hit the button, after it was on cooldown and after I knew I was in the air (as a player) just to see the kill cam show none of that had happen on his screen, and I was still on the ground. That is a disconnect from what one player expects from his/her actions.

I am so, so glad they give you the ability to set bindings for each character.
After many, many years of FPS games where I'm used to certain buttons doing certain things, I think I'd go crazy if my shift key pulled off half of the abilities that some of these heroes have. Shift means movement, and should only ever mean movement.

I thought that there is option to do it from the Battle.net client like in Steam. Or directly from the game. Why would there be option for screenshots quality in the game?

Yep, defaults to print screen in-game. I never tried it but I assume the higher quality screenshots setting is to basically get downsampled screenshots.
sometimes just disrupting their back line and making people chase you is more valuable than fighting on the point. Tracer is especially good at it thanks to rewind. I typically rack up a ton of kills with her though, a huge factor for surviving as Tracer is knowing where the health pickups are and which heroes to avoid. Roadhog for example will easily one shot you up close but Reinhardt is free.

So my Gamertag doesn't show up at all in game. Highlights, play of the game, end of the game likes, all that stuff my name is just blank, nothing there. Any way to fix that?

Hey guys quick question, can you play private matches vs AI of different difficulties sort of thing? My wife and brothers aren't as competitive and would likely only play with me if that's the case.

Nope.

It's a trade off though. If they flip the current interaction so that defense is favored, than you are going to be shooting right at high ping players and it's not going to register. In a game that is all about shooting other people, that is going to feel decidedly worse. The way they are doing it is the best option, given the limitations.

I believe Gears of War 3 did, but I could mistaken. It's not a common thing, but not uncommon.
Doubt it.

You mean its an EXTREMELY uncommon thing. Right?
I'm playing on PC, but I'm curious how precise the game is with a controller. Did Blizzard do a good job there?

That is how it works with overwatch (hearthstone too, not sure about other games). The screenshots are saved in documents-overwatch-screenshots.
example
I'm doing surprisingly well with McCree and Hanzo with a controller but I suck with Pharah.
I usually always vote for healing stats, especially if they're as good as the one you got. Gotta support those healers so they stay healing
If they are already matchmaking to prefer similar ping people, then why give another layer of benefit for the shooter? The defender does not get any benefit at all, so you might as well play a bastion or a soldier 76 and just spam to your hearts content.

I tried 2 matches with my Xbox One controller and i just couldn't play it like that. There is no way i would be able to play this with the controller, it's just too slow, and i am missing all the time.
But i am sure that PS4/One owners and ppl that are playing every game with the controller can get used to that and are much better. But i can't.

I think it's very common. Blacklight retribution, hearthstone, dirty bomb... 3 titles just off the top of my head. To be fair, they are all F2Ps... I am sure someone could name like 50 early access PC games that don't reset progress.
Some reason that seems to be a common issue with postimg. Changed to something else.

That's indeed the optimal way to play Tacer. Be a solo rogue-like player and sit behind enemy lines picking off the squishy heroes, especially support heroes
When I play Tracer I tend to avoid fighting tank heroes unless I have teammates helping. Roadhog is a particularly dangerous hero for a Tracer to run into; if you don't immediately blink/recall out of there you will die in literally one hit (or hook, which also stuns stopping you from using abilities. he is quite deadly). Luckily you can kite tank heroes since they are so slow, but they usually have some sort of heals or backup and it takes some time to kill them. Your better off getting help from teammates in those situations. I tend to just runaway from tanks, and instead just scout for the squishy heroes.
Tracers should be using the Blink ability pretty much nonstop, since your always on the move. Plus it difficult for other heroes to hit you with anything. As for her Recall ability, I tend to use it as a heal. When I am fighting 1v1 and drop to ~20% health, i'll Recall and go back to full health, essentially needing to be killed twice. That way your 150 health is more like 300. It's also very important to pick your fights and run away when know you will die.
Yes, there's a players vs bots mode. The easy bots are really easy.

Ok i thought we were talking Betas and Alphas, not early access. Early access sure. Betas and Alphas.. very, very rare compared to those where your progress resets.
