You say that but there's a lot of unlocks, a fairly slow unlock rate, and then they're no doubt going to add new loot to the game at a reasonably rapid rate.

GMG has lost a bit of their reputation for stuff like this.
It's why I only buy on cdkeys. Also because even with vouchers GMG is almost always more expensive.
But it's still all cosmetics unlike in their other games. Overwatch is not a f2p title. You won't pay for heroes/weapons/maps. (not counting expansions).
not really. I mean you could play vs AI..
Ahh good to know, I never use them since I live in Australia, and their prices are rarely better than other alternatives I've found.

Had a really frustrating first few games, but then it clicked, and fell in love with Genji and Torbjörn.
I'm amazed at how many people don't destroy Torbjörn's turrets.

Game is fun but I'm pretty bad at it. I was playing on a full team of friends (and friends of friends) but honestly kinda felt like I was just dragging them down, they're all clearly a level above me skill wise, likely because they're all more experienced in competive games than me (mobas and online shooters, which I've never really been that into).
I picked up the game because I liked what it did differently from other online shooters, but still I feel bad when I feel like I'm not contributing to my team, especially when I actually know these people.
Still though, I'll keep playing and hopefully get better. If anyone has any general tips throw them at me. Or any streamers or youtubers who I can watch for tips.

Finally managed to just get some time into the game after work. Predictably got destroyed for my first five games, but I think matchmaking stabilized after that because games started getting way more even for me. Bastion is predictably quite popular though, lol. D.Va is still by far the tank I'm most comfortable with. Boosting with her is one of the best feelings in the game, IMO. Either to engage from a flank or just get the hell out, it's really nice.
I'm surprised at how fun McCree is though. I gave him a shot in the beta and enjoyed messing around as him, but tried a legit match as him and he's basically unstoppable 1v1. Combat roll is a really simple skill, but it's really rewarding to execute with the rest of his kit.
I'm still bad at Pharah. orz

If no one is talking no one learns anything. These are console problems so eventually all the weak players will move on to something else.

I didn't realize each hero has their own spray. Was wondering why I kept seeing the OW icon. Had fun playing a few matches.
Bastion is OP as hell in Sentry and Tank mode.

This game consumed me tonight. I haven't played a game for 6-7 hours in a single day in a long long time. I really only took a break to eat dinner, so much fun.
Playing with a few different GAF groups was a ton of fun, looking forward to more! I got halfway into level 12, not bad.

Shame here. Stuck at work. They'll be open in about 4 hours.

I did. Definitely not worth it overall. Worthless fucking sprays accounted for a lot of it...

He's weak to so many things. It's actually really hard to get him positioned in a way that he can be effective.
Buy some more, it will surely ease the pain xD

So happy to finally be playing this game again, those two weeks went by so slow.
Decided to give Reaper a try since I didn't really use him much in the beta and ended up getting a solo team kill.

He didn't, people are just hip to his jive now
anyone could have told you that from the beta lootboxes lol
Are there actually changes? Mei's reload seemed slower to me but I don't know if it's just in my head.

Mccree can be pretty devastating. Gonna try to git gud with him so I can pull off insane games like this:

Their sales page states keys will go out on or within 24 hours of release.
You can complain all you want about them in that regard, after their website upgrade things been a bit slow but in the end there is a clear marking on the page relating to their key time frame.
Cdkeys have had great deals on it indeed. However I've not had much interaction with them.

Nah, I used that last $20 of the $60 PSN card I bought for this on Witcher III Blood and Wine. So it wasn't a complete waste. XD

Any legendaries, though?
I'm just saying that GMG used to be on point with their keys so you would ALWAYS get it the day before release.
Now, it is very often exactly the day of release, many times later into the day and in very very few cases (which are the ones that impacted their rep) they didn't get the keys out on release day. They also sometimes couldn't deliver on pre-order bonuses which they promised.
I personally had no problems with them when I was still using them.

I've seen more Bastions than anything. I'm trying to find a good counter for them as Reinhardt, Mccree and Lucio ain't doing squat against them. Bastion shreds Reinhardt's shield like no tomorrow. Sheesh.

Same here, but I did get one just now. Has one of Mercy's alt Emotes.
Been backing up my teams with Reinhardt. Holding the barrier and occasionally charging like a beast.
Half the time, I land a kill with that.
That matters? I could never use the RMAH in Diablo 3 because of this (unless I switched region).
The counter to bastion is to stay away from his line of sight. Only snipers can quickly strafe and take a shot at him from front, all other heroes melt away.
Just circle around him if you can't cooperate with allies.
widowmaker (odile) and tracer (t.racer)

Try to counter them as Hanzo, Genji or Widowmaker.

I can offer some tips based on my time with the beta:
- Try a variety of characters. Not only will this get you familiar with how lots of characters play for counterpicking, you'll also quickly see what characters match which characters.
- The game is naturally not KDR based, so focus on doing your character's job. If it's being a tank, block damage. If it's a healer, heal.
- Don't be afraid to switch characters if things aren't going your way. If you already know what can beat that dude that just killed you, go for it.
- Don't be afraid to use your ult. You don't need to save it for a rainy day, because you might never use it then.
- If you're about to lose a capture point, get on the point! As long as you get on the point, you can contest it and push it into overtime.
- The payload heals you when you're close to it.
- The tooltips at the right side of the character select will tell you when your team make-up is lopsided. It's damn useful. Definitely pay attention to it.
- If turrets are ripping you apart, switch to Genji and reflect all its bullets back at it. Turrets are the only damage dealer that cannot stop shooting when Genji turns on Reflect.
- Playing a healer isn't "easy mode". It's the foundation of victory, and a good one will always get high fives from the rest of the team.
Hope that helps!

Okay, yeah, I kinda hate you a little, then.
sorry forgot that I got one more for tracer that was orange >> so two legendaries >.<
Whelp I meant to dual quote you and the other guy, anyway yeah. I used them for Total Warhammer and got the key instantly which let me pre load.
I usually don't bother that much with resellers these days but I've never had a very bad experience with them.
only thing I hate is you can't dust something if it's a single, so if it's a legendary skin you don't like you can't use it to work towards the one you do like.

I'm trying to remember which one that was. I know I looked through her skins.
Man, I wish they just sold straight credits so we could buy what we wanted instead of shitty loot boxes full of sprays.
