Like, other than reaper being an edgelord, is there enough characterisation in general to make people actually hate or love a character?

I'm disappointed Overwatch doesn't keep the weekly playlists. What ran during the beta gave me an excuse to try different characters. This new arcade playlist is fun, but it's also gone in a week? I don't get it.

It helps that the support characters are just fun to play. Lucio is fun, Mercy is fun, Zenyatta and Symmetra are all interesting.
It's the same "Brawl" mode they have in hearthstone. A different set of rules each week. What happens in Hearthstone is that they'll introduce 4-5 rules and then kind of just rotate them around each week. Occasionally they'll get around to developing a new set of rules and implement that in the rotation too.

There's a fairly good amount of flavor dialogue, including some character-pair-specific ones. You definitely get a sense of their personalities.
Tracer's quips are cartoonish in a super obnoxious way.
She's also annoying as shit to hit.

Symmetra doesn't get enough love, she's great.
the voice lines and pre-game talk do a lot to introduce personality into the characters. Some of it also comes from how strong/weak a character is or how annoying they are to play against.

Oh, that's not too bad. Thought it's one and done.

Alright, so kinda like TF2 then.
If Tracer is the scout equivalent I expect to fucking hate her.

Imagine if the scout could just roll back in time and basically disappear like someone was lagging.
She's the most obnoxious target as a sniper.
Yeah every top streamer streams the new release before going back to CSGO or whatever

I laughed harder at that "no mercy" line than I should have

Also mei might be the first chinese character I've seen in a mainstream game since... sleeping dogs?
Though I'm sure homefront wishes that they can use chinese characters.

most fun I had in my limited time with TF2 was medic, by far

I tend to gravitate towards medic and engineer in battlefield games.
Soldier 76 is the Punisher
Reaper is Spawn
That's your comic-book grim-dark analogy pairing right there.

That has to be a record for shortest distance covered with a symmetra teleporter.

Less murdery than the vast majority of shooters, more murdery than Splatoon.
Splatoon is super murdery

I like that Reaper's reload is just tossing his shotguns and drawing another pair from wherever he keeps them.
No one dies in Splatoon. They just Splat back to the spawn. The splatoon world is a happy post apocalyptic land.

Sounds like eternal hell to me.
Doomed to forever be splatted only to return to being splatted again.
yeah but splatting is both cool and fresh
