You're thinking of Symmetra
Yep, you're right. My bad.
Edit - in honor of the top of the page, I will now announce that Winston is the best character in the game.

HotS lets you turn off text chat. I imagine Blizzard will patch it in eventually.
Follow the rules of nature.

I've seen way too many games of Control where one team runs their score up to 99%, only to have it stolen away, and the other team goes from 0-100% to finish the round.
you can. you can type /leavechannel and it will get rid of that channel till you restart the game
Wait, people use the text chat? I'm always the only one typing anything there, and it's usually stuff like "Please don't pick this hero, we already have one of them on the team" and "gg"
Everyone is fucking dead silent, both in text and in speech.
In one of the maps I swear I heard the Hearthstone music. I didn't look around/investigate but I'm guessing something is there.
be like water
There is a computer with hearthstone on it in a map. it plays the music.
there are comic with kerrigan and terran battlecruisers on them in route 66's diner.
there are the arcade games in hollywood and hanamura.

I really hope ranked mode brings out more team communication.

As has been noted, the amount of idiocy sometimes in this game is astounding. I finally got tired of the tanks not tanking so I rolled Reinhardt. I've since had to remind groups to stay behind my wall and stop getting mowed down...and then, and I kid you not, I had one group I actually had to remind to actually still attack while behind me. It's unreal....
Run when the high noon comes up
Funnily enough I made my first Overwatch friend last night when one other dude with mic and I ended up on the same team for like 5 games.
Funny how well you do just with some call outs or coordinating ults. We had an awesome win on a koth map where we pushed in with all our ults lined up and got a team kill to cap the point.
There are always racist, sexist, trolling, furious idiots that use text chat in any game. I suppose you've been lucky to avoid it so far.
People are new. They don't know his shield let's them shoot through

I gave up. I am trash aiming ninja stars, I suck with his ult. And I don't know the maps well enough to get around effectively. I was gonna make him one of my main guys, but I think I'm moving off him.
Finding out about Pharrah has offset that very nicely though.
I wonder if a lot of the people with no situational awareness are playing with sound off. Sound is a huge part of this game. So is experience I guess. But I mean...if you hear FIRE IN THE HOLE you should be backing up and looking for that damn tire. If a Reaper just ghosted into the middle of the team or is staring down at us from above for the love of god don't clump up. It's ridiculous how often I'm the sole survivor of those two ults.
My friend says he found a camera labelled 'Kilrogg' on Hollywood.

Random tangent, but kinda reminds me of the backlash against Splatoon not having communication channels... yet here in Overwatch no one (at least on PC in my experience) types or talks despite having the option to. Hopefully that changes.

I always just assume those players came straight from Black Ops 3. Can't imagine how lost and weak they must feel

It's literally the reason I went PS4.
Lol, remembers me of people who run away from my healings. Like from the battlefield all the way to the back to pick up heals.
Reminds me of playing as an engineer in Battlefield when I get out of a tank as co-driver to repair and they just drive away while I'm chasing them with my repair tool.
Haven't seen any. The text chat auto censors swear words (I got mad at my team for picking 5 copies of Tracer and found that out) and I'd imagine it would censor anything else that's undesirable.

Yeah the new player excuse doesn't fly when almost everyone is lvl 10+.
I believe you can turn the sensor off. Not everyone sees the same thing.

Ugh, being a healer and playing the objective is some nonsense. My team literally got manhandled at a chokepoint when the payload was at the end and I'm pushing forward each time moving it an inch and finally a soldier 76 comes up and helps me finish but I mean come on tank characters this isn't my job.
well, why didn't you pick tracer too?
This is me every time I play as Lucio.

As a COD player myself, it pains me to assume the same. First thing I thought is this game must be way to complicated for some of the COD kids. lol
you can turn off the profanity filter.
Flank. Use mobility to attack from a direction they don't expect. Focus on squishy characters from medium distance using left-click, dash in to finish them or close distance, and use right click up close. Good players will expect the E reflect at the start of the fight, so I try to save it for a trickier moment.
For Ultimate, i try to start from high ground. Dash so you're falling onto their support characters and Ult on your way down. Two slashes will kill squishies. Dash in between kills to chase down stragglers. You're still squishy during Ult, so try to do it when the enemy is busy with allies. You can still Reflect during Ult, so don't be afraid to if something is clearly going to kill you.
The toughest thing to deal with is Mei. She's too hard to kill, so I'll just use the dash to get out of her freeze range.
Text chat hasn't been too bad aside from a couple losses where one idiot, usually the worst guy on the team, was flaming people bit whatever, the salt is a good laugh sometimes.
Had a pretty fun match as Lucio last night that was a really close win. We were about to lose in overtime so I speed boosted onto the payload just to extend it and had like 17 hp left when my ult came up so I hit it just to try and buy some more time for my team to get back, only to realize they already had. Ended up shielding the whole team and steam rolling right over the defense that was all turned around looking at me.

Or the reverse. As tank, sometimes I'll be begging for heals while the healer is running around like a buffoon trying to shoot someone.
Because sometimes I want to at least try to support the team. At least I was guaranteed a gold medal as Lucio even if I knew we couldn't win.

Can Genji reflect McCree's ult? Because that would be... something.
Pretty sure its one of the projectiles he can stop.

3 Mercys and 3 *blanks* would be most effective?
Fill in your answer.
*not that this would beat a good team composition. Just curious what you guys think.

Haha that's true aswell. It's one of my weaknesses as a healer. Got to pay a bit more attention. Lucio helps me with that as I only need to be around (and use the upgrade), but I still miss people who need healing sometimes.
Apologies in advance.
playing the game for a couple hours doesn't teach you that reinhardts shield lets you shoot through it if you A) don't read it as a tooltip by chance or B) try it and see that it works.
people are NOT good at picking things up in video games
Yes, he can reflect Zarya, Mei, McCree, Hanzo off the top of my head.
Edit: their ultimates.
I've had people talking out strats in speech but not much text besides "gg" or "this team sucks"
Not too bad overall

Blew 1000 coins on it.

I think Baliis is referring to ultimates by the way. I think Zarya primary cannot be deflected. And I'm not sure about Mei's primary fire either. But those ultimates can be deflected and be used against the enemy.
