Overwatch |OT| My Onlywatch Has Ended

Not open for further replies.
Didn't know Zenyatta could be hooked by Roadhog while in Transcendence. Surprised the hell out of me when it happened.

Guessing Reinhardt's charge could still pin him too right?

Roadhog's hook can disrupt any hero's special. I hooked a bunch of Reapers trying to do their special and the best part is that it waste their meter.
 
Ok complete fps noob here, played a lot of Genji in the beta as he felt like I was playing a hack and slash game but against other people. I need a good defense, support and tank for a beginner. Please no bastion though as I just think he's boring.
 
Luck had nothing to do with it!

Luck had some part to do with it. I do know how to aim D.Va's self-destruct decently well, especially in open areas - it arcs down very quickly. Plus the the blast radius is nothing shy of ridiculous. That being said, I was watching the payload move and keeping an eye on the top to see how many players were pushing it - I was expecting three kills at most, so that was lucky.

Oh. My apologies then.

Going to bed; work tomorrow. Did anyone buy this game from Target and/or get the collective badge? I wanted to know if it was worth it, assuming there are any left after work, I could buy one for $5.
 
Wow these loot boxes are off to a great start. A bunch of crappy sprays. I suppose it could be worse, they could charge us for maps etc. But this stuff is kinda transparent when you have this business model attached to it.

If there's a skin you really want you can gamble on getting enough currency for it from them.

Otherwise the billion sprays, voice lines and rare skins aren't worth it.

Yeah I find it rather shitty to have gambling in your game :(

Also do you people know about any giveaways going on? A broke friend really wants to play with our squad but can not afford the game :(

I got a repeat Soldier 76 skin in my 5th loot chest. Besides that skin, all I've gotten are voices and sprays. What have I done to deserve this?! :(

Just luck of the draw. I have opened 12 loot boxes. I have gotten 5 skins, 1 being an epic skin. I also like getting the victory poses and whatnot. I like this system a lot.

Yeah, only 15 coins. What a slap in the face...

Legendary repeat only gives 200.

Yeah much like hearthstone there's a point where I'm viewing the loot boxes as currency boxes instead.

I've opened eleven boxes and I haven't even gotten a recolour. Kinda stinks, but hopefully karma pays me back.

going by my garbage luck opening packs in hearthstone i doubt it

Killing the other team may help skew the match in your favor, but it's not the point of the game. If you're chasing an enemy when you could be capturing a point you're doing it wrong. If your entire is dominating in escort, but no one's moving the payload, you still lose.

Whatever the point of the match is, do that. If you kill someone while trying to do that, good. But don't put killing ahead of that, unless you're either a hard flanker (Reaper, Tracer, Genji) or a far backline hero (Widowmaker).
I guess I could just read your guide!

I do try to play like this, but it's difficult when the heat is on. Gotta work on improving and staying cool under pressure.

(A sidenote to my previous post is that it doesn't mean much by itself to say "play the objective" in chat since many players might be trying to, but don't quite know how to yet)
 
Just had a match on defense where, unprompted with no mics, everyone on my team went torbjorn.

We dominated and half the other team quit. lol
 
Played a good amount today, just a fantastic game. Such fun.

I will say though the quality of random players just seems to be appalling. Rarely objective orientated play. Sitting away from caps just shooting into the distance. No tanks / support unless I play one or the other.

I hope it gets better with time. Looking forward to getting a bit of a group together so I do not have to deal with it, haha.

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.

If you're in a group of 3 or so you can usually get entire lobbies to all pick the same character if you all snap pick one person.

From the beta I did that with torbjorn on hollywood about 5 times and never lost, lol.

What's a Zenyatta gotta do to make play of the game??? 53% of team dmg healed with 28 defensive assists and I don't even get a vote, much less being chosen as POTG. :(((((

Never mind Mercy, who I assume is completely impossible to get POTG with. I've at least seen Zen once.

Yeah, I hate that. I only get to play a damage dealer like 10% of my games because I always end up having to pick either a tank or a support.

People just want to shoot at things and get them kills. "What are objectives!?" ¬¬
 
Played some games after launch opening and all was smooth, rather impressed.

First box gave me watermelon d.va so off to a good start already.

Mercy can get Play of the Game for reviving a bunch of people at once, I've seen it a few times

So how the servers are holding up?

Aside from them not flipping the switch til about 15 minutes after they were supposed to, it's been flawless as far as I can tell

That's the best I got from the loot boxes so far. And a nice pose for her. I think the game really wants me to play as Mercy. Got the most unlocks for her. Still no skins though.
Luckily I like playing as a healer in this game.

Me too, people just don't play in teams in all of the games I've played so far and there is literally nothing added from the beta. Guess I'll try to play with a buddy tonight and see if I change my mind...
Set up a pre-made with gaffers that can at least pretend they know what they're doing.

If say the fun value ramps significantly with 3 or more team play focused players.

Full team of friends is so much fun

Still unsure if I should get this on PS4 or on PC.

I usually don´t like fast paced shooter - I assume it´s a bit slower on consoles, right?

Played with 5 friends and had a blast yesterday night. On the first match no one from my team died. Unbreakable. Then I got featured with Reinhart, Bastion and Tracer. Did some pretty good things, stuck to the objective, killed, level up, got nothing good from the crates. Amazing game.

About the votes thing, don't take it seriously. It just doesn't matter. In the end, is pointless.

I'm guessing the unlocks aren't cross platform despite the battle.net integration? Gonna switch to PC in just over a month.

Mei isn't overpowered.
McCree is.
You know this to be true.

Indeed. Mei = easy, but McGree is something else. I was having fun with Tracer wrecking everyone until I met a McGree, stunned me and then killed me really easy. Need to be faster with him.
