teach me Papa

also are there any youtube videos that I should watch before diving into overwatch? I haven't played a competitive FPS since bad company 2 lol

If anything read about the character classes and the character abilities.

I didn't watch any so I wouldn't know, but I imagine there are character breakdown videos available by this point.

I'd suggest starting with Reinhardt, Lucio, or Soldier 76. They're all fairly straightforward heroes.

Lucio's pretty good. I switched to him at the last minute because our healer wasn't doing squat and it actually made a difference despite me having never used him before.

I have a sick Mercy IMP skin but Lucio's just a better healer overall so I always end up using him instead of Mercy. His alt fire is hella powerful.

Also in stark contrast to how stupidly deadly she is lol

Everything about Overwatch is great
Really glad they didn't go with the ice queen archetype. This way we got mittens and puffy parkas and drawing smiley faces in frost

And I can't play it for 3 days :(

there are a few training modes and multiple levels you can play against ai so I wouldn't worry much. It's a very straight forward game at its core and most of the nuance doesn't matter a ton at first

hes the best :D

Reinhardt is hard, man. For a tank I'd suggest d.va.

A good mercy is game breaking. Her ult does more than lucio ever could. He's a lot more fun to play though

Why can't you play it for so long? That's an eternity to not be playing Overwatch.

I was able to convince 5 people to switch to Lucio during an Arcade match and it was the most stupidly broken shit ever, just constant "LETS BREAK IT DOWN" spamming every like 4 seconds.

We managed to force an appointment with our bosses for Tuesday, because we cannot work in such conditions and with so few people. I know that I will not be quiet and will tell everything out loud.

Coworker is still under observation, she is in quite bad condition according to her husband :\

I wish I could do healer but nope it simply doesnt feel satisfying at all for me.
That's why you play lucio. His healing is passive and his gun is my second favorite in the game (after d.va's pistol)

Depending on severity, a psych hold can be 24 to 72 hours or more.
hopefully she makes a recovery.

I miss posting. Work has been alot more draining. I'm getting an office to myself soon so I might be able to do so again at some point here.

Miss you all. Even the ones I had a distaste for.

Miss you too. Hope your family's well.

reading the overwatch wiki right now

how good are the turrets of torbjorn?

that sounds fun to set up

They're a pain in the ass to deal with if he's using them to defend. I can get behind them as tracer but I usually don't have the health to deal with them unless they're isolated. I'm better off 1v1'ing Bastion.

how important is using kb/m in overwatch?

I'm fine with it. But I just generally prefer using a controller for most games.

On PC? I dunno. I think there are some helpers internally for controllers on PC, but I'd recommend going to KB/M anyway, especially if you're going with one of the more twitchy characters like Tracer or Hanzo or Windowmaker

He's great on defense. Not as much on offense

Necessary pretty much. Aim assist is only on console

good to know!

the last competitive fps I played was bad company 2 on xbox360 so I'll be pretty rusty I suspect

back in high school I used to play quake 3 arena on pc for hours on end so I'm hoping it comes back to me

Jesus my PC is dying

Chrome, Word, everything lags

It's a gaming PC and it can't even browse the internet

Also the CPU runs at nearly 70 degrees when sitting idle

Bad company 2 was the last for me too but on PS3. I'm easily in top half in terms of skill in overwatch.


Actually I forgot I played hawken. Probably more relevant style too

Actually I take that back about torbjorn. He's also great on offense in the escort maps. Just put the turret on top of the payload and it's even better if you defend it well

I think I might try him first since he is the only bearded character

Now for one hour of Rush Limbaugh complaining about feminists. Yaasaaayyyyytt.....,....



Wait I got that wrong. Feminazis
God help me



My ears are bleeding



It's no wonder people think Rush has good ideas when he's constantly arguing against straw men. Though tbh I'm not even sure he's winning against them



Ohhhh Hilary's emails. I wonder how long to he exhausts ever variation of words to talk about that

Ya these talk radio people's bread and butter is building up strawpeople to summarily tear down with bombastic and conservative rhetoric.
