If we're talking about the boxes, I don't like how many filler unlockables there are. It's kinda obvious how the buttloafs of sprays and profile icons are just there to make it less likely to get something good, without having to make the crates drop less often or have less items to get the same effect.
And why are you able to get doubles?! WHY?!

I wouldn't rethink his kit (or the flashbang). I'd slow his reload time, and take away the insta-reload that the roll provides. My feeling is you get six shots and you make them count, or else you likely die: The penalty for not getting the job done with those six shots should be death unless your situational awareness is high. This would make him a high-risk, high-reward, high-ceiling hero. Right now you can just spam fan the hammer back to back to shred stunned tanks, which is silly.
Yep this is true.
His stun+fan is good because it's suppose to be what makes him the best 1 vs 1 fighter...but his left click is what makes him even better.
And stun doesn't last long it is less than half a second !
yes. get a tournament going. maybe this weekend. do EU bracket and NA bracket for each platform? need to figure out teams though...

Who are the best counters to Genji?
What is the best way to play in a party? I'm on the GAF list and have several friends online in game, but when I try to join them from the Social menu, I'm always put into spectator mode. What's the best way to actually get into a game with you guys?
I was getting killed repeatedly last night by a couple of specific players. I tried changing heroes to something that felt like a good counter, but was still getting owned by those same players. It seems like it's hard to tell if I'm not picking the right hero, or if the other players are just much better at the game, and it wouldn't matter what hero I choose. Know what I mean? Any tips there?
I went physical on PS4 and noticed that my controller settings from the open beta carried over. That's pretty cool.

People really don't appreciate supports do they
In a 7 minute game I had 10K healing and I was on fire for 95% of it with my ults and stuff. Commends all go to the Pharah with 15 eliminations smh.
I'm so sick of seeing damage blocked winning over a guy with 4 gold medals.
And fuck my luck, getting absolute trash from the boxes.

Are you playing with randoms? I find that with random people I never get votes as support but if I am with a couple BNet friends they recognize the value of a good support.

Ahahahah, as someone who mostly play Mercy, I know what you feel.
People just watch the emilination rate...You're on the right mental track, blunt as it is.
Fly it in like a missile. Dash --> trigger the ult. She'll eject, but the mech keeps going, hopefully right into the enemy team.
I forgot all about this and kept killing myself last night.

Anyone with a beam (Winston, Zarya, Symmetra, Mei) can be a counter if used properly against Genji since his deflect doesn't work against them.

I'm definitely getting some sort of micro-stutter. Even when just walking forward it happens. It's like I'm walking and then the "world" jumps a little bit.
BraXzyman, of course PC.
you add me, I won't be home for hours and hours :'( Hawkian#1871
Winston. Full stop.

Winston is Genji's nightmare fuel. Zarya and Roadhog are hard to deal with, too, though he can usually manage those engagements. Symmetra can be annoying if he doesn't see her coming. Ditto Mei, although he can usually escape if he's not dumb. McCree also trumps Genji if he knows to throw his flashbang at Genji's feet or sides.
Why is that silly? Zenyatta can nuke a tank even more quickly and he's a support.
McCree punishes the overextenders and the people who get near him without taking care of their surroundings. In the earlier post, TDLink complained about turning a corner as a Winston and getting flashbanged and blasted. Well, why are you turning random corners with Winston (or anyone but Reinhardt w/ shield up) when you don't know what's there?
Situational awareness can negate a lot of what McCree does when it comes to close combat. He also happens to have some of the loudest footsteps in the game with his spurs, so you should often be able to hear him coming if he's trying to flank.

I don't feel like holding Blizzard responsible for people having no self control and spending inordinate amounts of money on loot boxes because they have an irrational need to own everything right away. I think the loot box system makes things more fun. If everyone could just shell out $5 to buy whatever skin they want, it would be much less exciting to me.

Agreed, I think McCree is in a good place. His left click is brutal if you can land headshots, which is easier said than done. He's sort of halfway between Widowmaker and Soldier: 76, which makes him viable at a lot of ranges.
Unfortunately his ultimate becomes less useful when you play against higher skilled players, since it's very easy to hide from, but if you can land a good ult from a flank it can be a team killer.
no she's quit hard to use. Especially on ps4, where aiming the laser has to be on point, which for me, is really difficult.

I'd be down for this later.
Some eventual custom games would be great
Had a Winston harass me for a bit yesterday as Genji

It's right in the OT lol. Mei is a hard counter to Genji.

What are peoples settings for sensitivity on PS4? Have been playing the beta on PC so the aiming feels a bit off.

Of course all my least favorite characters (except Mei). I find that Mei can't really keep up with him though if he stays out of reach. A good Genji player is really dangerous. If anything, I'd say Genji in the right hands is one of the better slayer heroes. I can't use him very well unfortunately.

I put the horizontal sensitivity at maximum and feels really great. Left vertical as it is.
Yep.
You love characters when you win as them, you hate them when they kill you. Reality is the game is pretty well-balanced out of the gate, which they have the beta to thank for.

Friendly reminder: Don't sit at your turret. Go and kill things with your shotgun, get scrap and distribute armor. It can make a huge difference.

That sounds so weird. Going to try it anyway.
I guess the horizontal and vertical are different because 16:9?

Who is doing the review thread? I can do it if no one else is. There are some out already, and some in-progress ones up too.

Zenyatta is practically a support class. Buff damage and snipe.
Edit: Defense class. Not support.

Are two of the same support a liability? I like playing Mercy but I'll generally switch if someone else picks her
You could have both, loot boxes for leveling up rewards (and the gambling element is a little fun) and then a mix of loot boxes and specific items for monetisation. That way you have the best of both worlds, the small thrill of getting something cool from RNG but with a fair return on your money if you want to save some grind time to get a costume or pose or whatever you like. Blizzard certainly should be "held responsible" for their monetisation options, they didnt include random blind buy chests to give players a little thrill. They did it for the same reason everyone does it, to take advantage of people who cant resist (whales) and to insure that lower spenders ("dolphins" and casuals) get a worse return or spend a bit more.

Overwatch gives me so many flashbacks to the early days of TF2 - when Engineers would just turtle up next to their turrets and folks hadn't quite figured out how powerful a good Spy was at countering them.

Default for me.
Pretty much. Me and my friends just had fun with it. Bastion was getting POTG at a comical rate, but we know full well the game is balanced.
His ult is still quite useful as a zoning tool in higher-level games. It only costs 50% of his charge and he can zone a team out for 6 seconds each time, which is quite good.
