Rewind is mostly good for planned plays, getting out of "OH SHIT" moments you didn't see coming, and most importantly for healing after a big burst. The heal is the difference between a 150 hp squish and a 250 hp free win. It's funny to see your initial analysis of her though. I haven't watched in a few weeks, but last I looked EVERY pro team was running 1-2 tracers because she's so fucknig good.

I would assume different seeing as there are quite a few tweaks between the PC and console version.

Amazon just sent me a code even though I preordered on the 1st.
This is really a blast. I'm glad I'll get an extra 2 days now.

I really fucking love this game.
The only thing that I find annoying are the super long run time when you spawn as a defender on a payload map. Takes forever to get back to the action to often just get killed within seconds.
It could be fun but I think the fact that the hero's movement speed is so vastly different, it would make that mode almost impossible to balance.

Just preordered on PSN to get the Widowmaker skin and it gave me the beta even though I thought I was too late. Played a few matches, did the random hero mode first and got to play as the archer (I died almost immediately), the angel healer girl, the girl in the mech and the pink haired tank woman.
I'll learn their names as I go along but the tankier characters were very easy to rack up the points with.
I played a couple more games as the buddhist robot because I thought he looked cool and I like the debuff/heal thing he has going on, his ultimate move is great for a get out of jail free card too. His movement speed is not good but you can't have it all.
The game feels great, really looking forward to it now.

LOL, we might've been in the same game. Guy kept asking the kid why he was crying. I had to turn my volume down.

If they don't want to have a scoreboard at least give me one. So I can see my kills/deaths/assists/objective points/amount healed etc. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing like shit and want to know my numbers to see if I'm really playing as bad as I feel and I'm just not getting the feedback there. I get not wanting scoreboards because then people might name call bad players and be all MOBA community, especially in ranked matches, but at least give me my stats in a match.
I got two codes when I preordered on PS4 last week, wasn't sure if it was an accident or not.

Is there any listed changes for pc/consoles, or people trying to find them? I know for instance the dwarf's turrets does less damage on consoles.
You can see your stats in a match by pulling up the Tab screen. Your stats are all at the bottom of the screen, underneath the team's hero portraits.

Oh wow. I never noticed. I hit tab like, once in the middle of my first match and only focussed on the players, just saw the teams and portraits when I expected a scoreboard and such and just ignored it after that. I thought instead of a scoreboard it was just team composition and ignored it since then.
I'm so dumb.

I'm getting matched mostly with people from the SA servers (I presume, since I'm getting ping 9~10), but it's nice to see that support characters are getting love almost every match.

Might be this - they're doing maintenance on all servers.

Widowmaker may actually be the best or my favorite at least. Between her and Reaper.
Trying to reduce toxic behavior you can see your own but not everyone else, the game isn't about Kill/Assists and im super glad they took out alot of these elements.
I think the only class I play that could reliably take it out at range is Zenyatta.
If it is that weak though I'll just try to destroy it. I guess it has an intimidation factor to it.

Seems like no one voice chats on PC.
What's up with that?

It was a bit jarring at first but now I agree.

Playing Reinhardt on Illios is so fun when you can charge a person off a cliff.
No idea, maybe all these prepurchases lack michs or something

Is there any pc game people voice chat with randoms except comp csgo? I expect ranked play to have voiced call outs but pub plays will be silent like every other pc game.

The open beta starts on the 5th right?
I have been playing on PS4 for about 4 total hours and I have not had a single person use voice chat yet. It probably doesn't help that I am in Japan (and stuck playing with Japanese players), as they never voice chat anyway, regardless of the game.
back in like cs 1.6 and source people talked all the time

Game has serious balance issues but if they fix that I could see myself buying it.

I only played about 30 minutes on the PS4 and wow this game is fun. Such a great pick up and play game. Are all Blizzard games like this?! I'm hoping for more maps and game modes.

Played for an hour and loved every minute. The usual grumblings about playing with randoms online (do we really need THREE McCrees?) but D.Va is my girl.
