Gotta love how no one knows how to play for shit yet.

Just went 1x3 with Tracer and killed all three of them without taking a hit. Jesus Christ, videogame players, get a grip.

Reinhart asks for D.va's autograph, it's adorable.

D.Va and Lucio want each other's autograph.

Did Blizz lower the threshold for POTG? Just got my first one with Mercy off of a fairly uneventful 2x res. That'd be unheard of in the beta.

 

[Lesath]

Lost 80% of my games today...I know I'm not good, but Blizzard please at least put me with people that do the goddamn objective so I know it's a skill thing and not a moron thing.

Nah, I got a full team Rez in Overtime to win the game and didn't get POTG

 

[Oscar]

The first part of Assault on Anubis as Offense is so difficult to pull off with a random group.

That bottleneck.

I love joining games just as my team loses.

I think PotG is just screwed up is all. I saw someone get one with just two kills.

idk how any of you can play zarya, I mean yeah her shield is good but her laser's range is so crappy, you have to be in the face of someone to hit him with it

soldier 76 is actually fun too

 

[BlackGhost]

Wish this game had a companion app like Destiny

I saw one where they got a POTG just for killing one person.

Then apparently they killed a bunch of people...after the POTG ended

 

[Depths of Orion]

I am loving Winston. Probably my favourite tank right now. Everyone always looks so spooked when you drop on them from a huge jump. Had a 19 player kill streak and got the potg. Probably my best game ever in overwatch

 

[Apathy]

Tracer really needs to not get full health back, she should at most get back 50% when she does her special. It's bullshit killing her 5 times over and constantly getting fucked.

 

[vaderise]

Got my second Legendary skin today! And Pharah is one of my fav. characters!

Well, she is a Tank. She's supposed to have her team backing her up at most times.

The second part is waaayyy worse lol.

I wish Zarya's laser had a better indicator for its range. I think half the time I shoot it I'm actually out of range.

Her real power comes from how aggressive she can be, and how easily she can recover from damage (since she has 200 shield). Once she builds a decent charge on her gun she tears through opponents.

Tracer really needs to not get full health back, she should at most get back 50% when she does her special. It's bullshit killing her 5 times over and constantly getting fucked.

She has 150 health, three dashes, and a three second rewind. She can be shut down very easily through accuracy, AoE, or anything that stops her. But a smart Tracer won't put themselves in those positions.

Are you talking about her recall? Cause that's a time limited move. If she doesn't use it within a short time of taking damage she can't get her health back

 

[walnutthewise]

With every other post someone is mentioning how great a different characters is, definitely evidence of great design and balance. I myself just found the glory that is Symetra. Getting 8 kill streak with only well placed turrets. Feels good.

Her altfire is a mortar. She doesn't JUST have her beam. And when her charge is up, her beam is super strong.

Plus, you take care of that 200 shield, it takes care of you. She's tricky, but she's pretty rewarding.

 

[vaderise]

BTW everyone should check out Hero Guides of the Gamespot. They're actually doing a great job.

Shootouts to people who have yet to get a legendary from the loot chest by level 10. It hurts, you know?

10 is nothing.

 

[LAM09]

Exactly. It's almost impossible if the opposing team can actually defend.

The game has been out for one day. How are we supposed to be pro already?

 

[RecRoulette]

I saw a Junkrat get PotG by killing someone (38 percent) and then killing himself and someone else with his tire. It's pretty goofy right now.

Pharah is my fav character and that is the best skin in the game. I need it.

I know right you'd swear the games only been out for a day.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

This game was totally not on my radar until like two days ago. So glad I ended up buying it, it's the most fun I've had with a shooter so far since Battlefield 4. Since my three of my other friends just bought it also, hopefully it'll have me hooked in for a while. Soldier 76 is definitely my fave.

 

[Zackat]

Battle.net needs a whole new companion app for everything. Like really, really bad. Hopefully it is coming sometime soon.

 

[Apathy]

I'm talking about recall

Hitting her is already a pain, and with rockets and nades doing 120 only on direct hits, even a single direct hit isn't enough to kill her, then I have to go and do it again and again

 

[Oscar]

Exactly. It's almost impossible if the opposing team can actually defend.

I found it more manageable. Every time my pug got past the first part, we'd win.

The first part is basically the Omaha Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan. You lose that first shootout and you're fucked unless there's actual coordination/talking/typing.

 

[SmartWaffles]

I love joining games just as my team loses.

You get bonus XP for lost JIP games though.

 

[biteren]

just got my copy today, it even came with a nice little pin as a bonus!

 

[LurkerPrime]

PSA: Everyone that preordered got the Noire Windowmaker skin. Make sure to equip it to differentiate yourself from the herd of late-comers! Windowmake in style.

I saw a Junkrat get PotG by killing someone (38 percent) and then killing himself and someone else with his tire. It's pretty goofy right now.

AFAIK it weights ult kills and killing someone who's using an ult over normal combo-kills, which can lead to some odd results. Of course, a good tri- or quad-kill can still get you on there. Of course, some matches are just slim pickings.

Like, my first potg was me as D.va killing Hanzo and assisting in a Zenyatta's death. And... that's it. It was glorious.

 

[ScribbleD]

Still feeling Mei, but she might be my main. Feels so good to cut off escape routes, force people into choke points, and give people cover with her ice wall. Her shooting doesn't feel too shabby either. Really having fun with her and the game as a whole.

No one, not a single decent match? Wow. You must be seriously pro breh.

 

[StrangeTaco]

Post em

Lot of Zenyatta but the rest of my hero time is a bit more even.

 

[Rixxan]

wow, this game needs to stop it

i mean, i cant put this shit down

its insanely fun

Switch to Pharah, don't go through there.

 

[Haloid1177]

Finally think I might have a character for each class.

Soldier 76
Widowmaker (which I'll never get to play again if I want a good team)
Winston
Mercy

I like being able to switch to whatever the team needs mid battle, which is the whole point. More people should do it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Mercy's ult is too good.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I just had a Mei who put an ice wall on the exit of our spawn area when the enemy was literally fifteen seconds from getting the payload to the objective.

I stand by my earlier complaints, no other character manages to mess up games as consistently.

 

[Rad-]

Love that feel when you singlehandedly kill 4-5 enemies on the cap point and die and the rest of your team doesn't push.

There could be enemies up there. What if I die, man?

any ps4 trains starting or wanna start one?

 

[Laieon]

Haven't been able to play too much yet, but here's my day 1 results:

 

[Moonkeis]

I love creating bottle necks with Mei on defense. Her survivability is too good.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Arcade Mode is just a bunch of Lucio overload.

Got kept out of that place for a whole game

felt bad
