Each Overwatch character can have an anime of its own... they have a lot of personality and they are completely different from each other, very rare to find that on FPS... so... where do you see that "Dreamworks smirk"? (Also, is Shrek that?)
Yeah I sometimes lose sight of the fact that I cut my teeth on the beta.
Go on...
No, I don't want Discord to become crazy again
Roadhog's hook seems to have priority over everything else. That, or the actual physical model of it doesn't represent the server side very well. So frustrating. Plus you can hook people around corners when they aren't visible.

Dis sho am gud
yoga teleport crossup shenanigans on reinhardt :O
Hanzo is shooting log sized arrows.
You get killed by so many projectiles while already around corners / blinked away.
The list can go on and on!

Is there a way to see my connection quality somehow? I noticed an option related to it, but can't figure out how to check it. I'm on PS4 if it matters.

Seen this happen a bunch... funny too because sometimes his hook will then literally go through a wall or corner then try to pull the player to him but it stops on the wall/corner canceling the action lol.

Tracer kind of ruins arcade mode. Impossible to kill her as she can recall out of absolutely everything.
I'm pretty bad with these shots. Just like Mei's primary. I just suck at their timing so much. If I played them more I might get used to it so I will try it
Aaaand that a lie
During the beta after a hour or two I said "wtf, is this like 10 tick rate cause it seems really shit" and truth and behold it wasn't far off.

The word you were looking for is "stereotypical." The character designs are mostly unique, but many of the personalities given to them are generic and, more importantly, static (this isn't a narrative driven game where the story will change the characters).
Your "bad guy" is typical edgelord stuff, you've got your "good guy" team leader, the "spunky" girl, the solemn and dignified healer, Beast from X-Men, etc. Those are the "face" characters that are on all the marketing specifically because they are simplistic and easy to understand.
The most dynamic character trait is "used to be good/bad, but is the opposite now." Not much room for character development in a game like this.
Just played a few payload matches on ps4 where almost everyone was playing deathmatch of somekind while completely forgeting about the payload itself. I mean it says "Escort" in big letters but doesn't seem like it's enough.
Times like these I wish I would be playing with a premade. Had a terrible luck with randoms today, pfft. Overwatch's a completely different game on pc as everyone tries to play as a team or I've been really lucky with matchmaking on pc.
Oh well, I suppose you lose some and win some but it sure is nasty going from loss to a another.

My play of the year killed Neogaf for several minutes

a) Maybe, but this game is way faster so smaller annoyances are way harder to deal with
b) no, I know Tickrate and I noticed in the beta that something is off
c) lol, no comment on this one because it's just stupid

Not on PS4, but PC can enable additional info like ping and detailed GPU stats. If PS4 has it it's "enable additional info" check mark in settings
a wasp or a bee is a gtfo and avoid at all costs, burn the house down, type of pest.
Yeah sort of worried about that. I guess I should maybe just stick to the easier heroes for a time while I get used to the feel of matches before diving into some of the other heroes.

I'd love an in game ping reading etc. so i could yell at all those higher than me and blame them for ruining my experience.

I swear you could just pick reinhardt and have his shield up 95% of the time and i'd love you
He's the easiest to play imo

I call bs. I've been hooked through a wall enough times to know that the tickrate need improvement.
Yeah, in terms of Tanks I'll probably start by using him since he seems the easiest to use.
So tracer then

I've heard mixed opinions, but what is the consensus on playing this game by yourself? None of my friends play this so that's what I'm gonna have to do. Should I even bother?

I once hooked someone at the same time they ragequit the match. The hook followed them out and I was attached to 'something' outside the map. The chain was visible to other players (my friends were in the match) and I couldn't do anything but walk around slowly.

Tip to playing a tank role, you are not there to soak up every attack but to be a lingering threat.
It sucked ass for me until I crossed some magical threshold past level 20 or however much time Blizzard thinks. Then I got put against and with really great players constantly, so everyone was on point with hero picks and teamplay.
NO HACKS REQUIRED!

Winkyface spoiler lol ok...
No, it's not stupid. People often complain about something because they are completely ignorant of it. Keep playing, you will learn about all the things in the game, then you will remember your comment and meditate. "Way too big hitboxes". Each class has its own advantages and disadvantages, and hitboxes are one of them, also what Blizzard wants and how they made it this way... keep playing, you will learn this eventually...

obviously more fun with friends. But you will still have a great time by yourself.
What's your platform of choice? There's already a strong GAF community for PC and PS4.
The game does MMR like Starcraft 2 but is hidden.
I've found at lvl 15 or so you get enough matches to actually matchmake correctly with your skill.
But it is based on full matches completed, so it might change depending.
