oh, ofc I know she can launch herself in the air. But when I heard people say "rocket jump" with pharah I excepted them to do it quake/tf2 style, I didn't know they meant it as pressing the E button!

Since they want this game to be e-sports material there likely isn't going to be ultra wide screen support. it would give those with 21:9 monitors an advantage. If they do add it I'd imagine they'd limit the player field of view to compensate and that sucks.
Yeah, i knew about Bastion. Just feel a bit dumb since it completely changes how to play him and I only figured it out now
Yeah, it's a whole different character after figuring this out.
Oh nice so you play him on the more defensive side of objectives maybe.
Sounds fantastic. Can't wait to try him now!

Mei is just annoying. Like Teemo.
But they're not remotely the same thing. Waiting for players means it needs a person or two to fill a game, barring a couple more leaving. It's not going to move youfrom there to another lobby, it is going to fill that lobby. If you're leaving those games you're part of the problem, they fill quickly otherwise. Skirmishes are ACTUALLY just you being in the queue not being matched at all.
What does this option do?

Some heroes are. Some not so much. Mei, Winston, bastion, d.va and symmetra aren't particularly twitch at all. Tracer is pretty twitchy. Widowmaker's all about getting those pixel perfect headshots. You can pick to match your playstyle and ability.
Prevent you from getting slotted into a skirmish while you wait in queue.

Okay, can somebody tell me if there is a way to LEAVE AS A GROUP? Every time I leave a game as group leader I get disconnected from my group too. Am I missing something? Or is this just stupid design?

Any tips with how to use the guy with the dreads? I'm not understanding he's mechanics.

This is analogy I can get behind.
If you're not killed while the teleport is casting, as you must be in line of sight to do this.
If you can get close enough before you're sawed in half by the bullet hell.
If you can get close enough before you're sawed in half by the bullet hell.
If you have really good aim and absolutely nobody else has noticed you're on the battlefield.
If you can get close enough before he breaks your shield in three or four seconds and you're sawed in half by the bullet hell.
In 99% of all situations on the maps in this game, this will not be applicable.
If you're lucky and he happens to be in a corner.
But the list doesn't really disprove anything.
He needs to either do less damage per shot, have greatly reduced accuracy at range like just about every other turret in just about every other game ever, have a 180 or 270 degree rotation range of his turret, or have a longer reload/smaller clip.
Game was out in beta forever so prob a few tutorial vids online.
My fucking character then. Teemo's the shit.
Getting off for the night, but man has the my love not died down a bit for this game. Just switching between characters tonight was a blast. I played Hanzo for the first time and his scatter shot and ult are just about the easiest way to get kills in this game.
My favorite characters are still Junkrat and Winston, but it feels good to give the rest of the cast more play time. Still haven't gotten any legendary loot, but hopefully by the end of week one I'll be able to buy whatever I want.

Lucio?
He has a song that broadcasts a constant buff to everyone around him. There's an indicator at the center of the screen showing how many people currently affected by your song. You can switch between two songs, one slowly heals, and the other is a speed boost. You can also increase the power of the current song with an ability. His primary fire is a three round burst, and his alt fire is a short range knockback with a cooldown. His ult gives a shield to all nearby allies, with a lot of durability, but that rapidly deteriorates.
What do you mean get close enough, with the genji thing. You don't need to be close as genji to kill bastion with the deflect. You can kill him clear cross the god damn map, if he's shooting at you.
The rest of this stuff is... subjective. It's not as black and white as they or you make it. Bastion is strong, but he's not a god, and his skill cap is pretty low. As people get better at the game, bastion will get weaker in comparison. He's already not particularly great in a game full of good players.
Where did you buy it from?
Best, only thing missing is actually getting rewarded for direct hit. Shotgun instant kill, arrow anywhere game thinks its a headshot instant kill. Grenade to the face of a moving target, 120. Fuck that noise.
To prevent just lobs from getting extra damage, a grenade at close range should do 200hp since you already risk taking self damage, something shotguns dont

I played alot of TF2 so I thought this game would be like putting on an old glove, but I can't hit the broad side of a barn right now. It also sucks not really knowing maps or sentry locations.
I really miss hitsounds. I need a satisfying amount of feedback on my hits to really aim properly nowadays.

I agree, they should nerf her and not Bastion.
Just edit it your details in and save it.
Different levels of twitch required for different characters. There's truly a play style for everyone which is why I'm sure this game will be a huge hit.

How in the everloving fuck do you deal with Mcree and his flashbang into right click combo?
Short of not existing near him.

Yup. Really wanted to go to bed before now. Just one more match......
Wow, I don't know why I never played Genji during the beta. He's so fun. Nobody knows about his reflect yet either, so I've sniped like four Widowmakers in the head so far with their own bullets.
It's "E", not right click

Didnt play the beta but am interested. Is the game worth getting if you play solo? I have few friends who will play this and probably not many chances to play together.
The OT mentions an XP boost for playing with friends and I worry about always lagging behind if I go at this on my own.

How do you use her effectively? Is she mainly intended to keep enemies out of a defense point?
Bastion is fine. As Hooker Fats I have never not been able to kill him. He's a goddamn stationary target. Easiest Hooking you can do in the game and it knocks him right out of turret mode. Bastion is absolutely fine.
Mei though...she needs a nerf.
Its day one, may as well get it out early. Love how he gets a pass for calling something op that isn't....
