Before I had this position I never was a very violent man, but christ there are some customers that make me want to reach through the phone and tear their hearts out.

It doesn't help that this guy has an annoying southern accent as well. Fuccccck.

Another thing is how some characters depend on having others near too often. Some of those things are mostly cause of the balancing of the game and wanting to be fair with the damage output and life bars but the thing is that most characters that are heavy damage can be usually easy to dodge around if they are in plain sight.

Also is it me or the crouch in the game is mostly worthless?

again tho depends on the map.

I didn't know there was crouch tbh

Got to talk with Work Crush for a bit, finally. Honestly I don't even care anymore if something romantic happens or not, I just really like talking with her. She's great.

I'm really, really enjoying it, and it's been a while since I've enjoyed a first-person shooter. I pre-ordered immediately after playing the beta. It's so bright and colourful, and all the characters are awesome in their own way. I recorded some gameplay last night.

/shamelessplug

I also have more going up tonight.
Click to expand...

A know a lot of people who weren't considering pre-ordering until they played the Beta and then pretty much immediately pre-ordered.

Seems like it's made quite a few good impressions.

Might do some streaming of it tonight if i can remember to turn on my cam.

All the characters at once, with unlockable skins/tags/voice lines etc for each character that can be unlocked via loot boxes obtained by leveling up, or by buying the stuff outright.

You get them all since its not free.

Also Misha crouching is smaller target, easier to hide. I havent seen any benefits to it except maybe when taking cover on the Escort mission.

D'va outside of her mech can be quite hard to hit when crouching behind the escort, you basically only have 30 degrees of vision on her at that point.

What's Genji's main use? Ambush?
Click to expand...

Anti sniper, he's a pretty effective counter to annoying Bastions and an ulting Soldier: 76. It's important to utilize his swift strike properly as it will go off cooldown if he kills someone with it, so you get around behind an entrenched sniper/Bastion and deflect their shots then swift strike them down and move on to the next target. So he's more of a constant offense type than an ambush type.

At least, that's how I use him.

I decided to try widowmaker yesterday. it was an escort mission where we were defending at that one place where they have all the horizontal bridges at first and one really high entrance. soon as the match started, boom genji was on me. nightmares...

I think I'm gonna end up buying Overwatch when it comes out. I'm having too much fun. Widowmaker is the bane of my existence

Mcree shits on Tracer as well if you can catch her with your stun.

Noticed that too. I like Reaper but it's hard to get in close in certain levels with him.

I might want to cosplay as him in the future. I'll add it to the list of ideas with skull kid and bloodborne hunter.

I hope Blizz makes a Hero eventually that has the equivalent of a silence just to mess with some of the more head-strong heroes... though I don't know how you'd be able to justify a silence in a game like this, it would be too strong.

Maybe as an ultimate, but it seems too weak to be an ultimate. Too strong to be a normal ability, too weak to be an ultimate ;(

silence an ultimate maybe instead? like shut it down when its starting to be engaged. would work especially well vs D.va. against most other characters though it would be hard to get off

either that or it could be an aoe silence that silences your team also

Now this is an interesting notion. Would make the build around you have to be very specific.

But I can already effectively silence ultimates with Roadhog. Nothing better than pulling an Ulting Pharah back down to the ground with his hook.

Although, I hooked an Ulting Winston once and it ended very badly for me lol

So you want an EMP character? Yeah that could work without breaking the game

yeah but the only thing thats difficult, is how to handle passive abilities.

I haven't really used roadhog so i'm not sure how he works. generally i don't like characters as slow as him :p

you could silence ultimates in a different way, like reset every ultimate's gauge in an area or have a secondary gun that as you shoot it, damages the ult gauge instead of health

Only played a bit of Overwatch.
So far liked the Rocket Launcher Girl and the Transforming Robot.

Though I need to play more characters in depth.

You're a much better game designer than me.

I like the idea of having a secondary gun that damages the Ult gage. Eventually they're going to have to do something like that to shake up the meta.

are there any characters with a root ability? I feel like they have barely scraped the surface of even MOBA abilities and theres way more they can do beyond them

Mei's primary weapon function eventually stuns (not root), Mcree has a stun... uuuh... I don't think anyone has a proper Root yet though.

So are new characters characters going to be monetized?
Or will there be a bunch of free patches?

Can new characters be earned?

I have played probably 10 matches so far and I've only played d.va because why bother with anything else?

I only play mech characters
