Hopefully they'll announce the pricing structure for Overwatch. If I had to hazard a guess it will be all heroes unlocked initially. Since part of the hook is being able to switch heroes on-the-fly during play. I always thought this made much more sense. MOBAs love to drown players with hundreds of heroes but since we cant swap in the middle of a match- why buy a bunch of heroes?? It would take many hours to master them all.
All that being said I still love HOTS. But I think Overwatch is on to a good thing and has a big edge over traditional MOBA
Not to mention you don't have to worry bout teammates feeding and getting the team ran over. On the bad side- snipers!!!! Nuff said

it's not a moba though.

Finally uninstalled the game. See you guys when/if I get back some day.
If TF2 was a moba then sure.

You guys being all doom and gloom aren't making new players really welcome.
You want to see a dead game?

I'm actually surprised how interested I still am in the game considering I just realized the other day that I've been playing this since April of 2014. Really doesn't feel like a year and a half.

I think we shunned everyone saying it away.
I just considered the correlation between us denying it while at the same playing less and less funny, personally I'm just not in a real gaming mood recently.

So I got the code for the Heroes of the Storm: Kaijo Diablo Bundle with my new GPU. I don't play the game and have no interest to do so. Is it worth anything? Should I just give it away or what?

Looks like it sells for about $1 to $6 on Ebay.

The background noise on THH is pretty bad, have to crank up the volume quite a lot to hear anything

Made a push to rank 5, and then instantly got hit with trolls in every single game. Man its frustrating trying to rank up when your teammate last picks zeratul against a bruiser/ high health team, or a sgt hammer when there is no front line or reveal to protect her.
Or even better, being matched with a player lvl 31 at such a high mmr and they don't know how to do the kerrigan combo
I have to sit it to the side for now. Doesn't help that I far outpaced my friends, they are stuck in the rank 25-30 range.

I keep running into this as well. I'll get to like 1 win from rank 9 and then its first pick gazlowes or novas last pick vallas when we need a tank. Haunted mines where they don't pick sylvanas and then force solo Tass support. I know that it's not really the rank but this random luck of the draw keeps biting me in the ass at the worst time.

They recordid it and uploaded it to SolidJakes youtube.
Lol the disconnected game was played out by bots, Dignitas won. Not even bots can lose at that stage with that comp.
Someone should make a botdrafting tournament.

Oh boy Jake and Cooby are casting the first game at Blizzcon
Oh yeah and a while ago there was a thread that Khaldor should have been casting at Blizzcon on reddit and apparently he's a diva to work with. According to the comments at least.

He basically went on to say that the comments made against him were untrue and they just didn't want him there. Apparently there's 2 videos on his YT that explain the situation.
IMO there must be some issue with Khaldor in a group setting - whether it's money, attitude, or otherwise - cause I can't fathom him being left out of everything for any other reason.
Would love to know the details from an unbiased 3rd party. He deserved to be there. Now he's already casting Overwatch scrims.
re: the "ded game/game is defeat": that was said in jest or to mock. I don't believe that at all, was just echoing the shitposts that keep popping up on reddit. It's basically the new "hots is for casuls/babies" we used to get all the time as the go to insult.

Yeah I wonder about that, there has to be something that makes them not invite him. In europe, despite their best efforts, he's the one with the biggest audience. He had more viewers than the main coverage of the RtB events he partook in.
His Overwatch scrims are interesting I wish I could play myself though, watching them stings.

Haha I like that he's taking the time to be so far ahead of the pack with casting Overwatch daily from top tier players of TF2 and devs and etc.
It's almost like he's subtly saying "you won't end around me this time Solidjake!"
EDIT: I dunno bout the casting but IMO it could be a better one than HOTS. Just depends on how popular it is and how hard they push it. It has the sick individual plays that HOTS lacks, but with the team aspect (and roles) we all know from mobas.

I have no idea how TF2 plays.
There's a usable observer mode already in the game so I guess they'd like it to become competitive.
Heck people watch Hearthstone which is a bore
to me so anything is possible

compared to mtg
There are "pro" matches of TF2, although I don't think it's much money. it's actually really interesting though. People have min maxed team comps and strategies to a very strategic level.

But it doesn't have levels, talents, lanes, minions nor structures
Definitely appears to not be F2P w/ XB1/PS4 versions on the way.
It does not, but it doesn't really need them. The way the heroes interact with each other is quite MOBA-like.
Honestly if you are interested in the game and how it compares to HOTS/other mobas and stuff, here's a pretty good article. There are quite a bit of 1-for-1 and like for like inclusions of abilities and interactions.
And yeah I'm doubtful of F2P. Gamestop is already taking pre-orders for XB1/PS4 versions so that seems unlikely. The only possibility considering that is it being a starter pack style option, but doesn't really make sense.
Personally I think all this good buzz they have going is about to turn sour if it's a paid game. For whatever reason the prevailing notion is that it was going to be F2P. It'll hurt the competitive aspect of it for certain if it's not F2P (if that's what they were going for). But then it seems inevitable the buzz will go sour when we're talking about a Blizzard game.
You mean "Overwatch: Origins Edition", not Overwatch.

They certainly could, but the game is now in Beta and we haven't seen a single cosmetic/skin yet. That's not to say they won't exist, but HotS had them by the Alpha, and we're already in Beta with Overwatch and no sign of them.
Either way, I'm sure we'll know a lot more after Blizzcon.
well yea... but that's just $15 instead of 30. (also it's got a user rating of 5.6 because people don't like boxed versions of f2p games) And there's no disks. and the console market at retail dwarfs pc.... there's a lot of reasons why it's a bad idea, but you're right I guess that doesn't mean they won't do it.
I'll revise my statement:
They could do a cheap boxed version for like $15 if they don't manufacture disks. and then charge for heroes and cosmetics like skins/taunts/HUDs
I don't see how a disk based f2p game can work for console because the cost of manufacturing and getting it out to retail is enormous.
They let you download it for free or sell you a bundle of f2p goods for $60 at retail.
Consoles don't even read discs while playing anymore. They're just install discs a la PC.
