I notice sometimes stage loading takes longer for no particular reason, and usually end up getting kicked as a result. Very rare, but still.

Wow. That's what, 5 hours a day for the past 3 days? Does your day consist solely of sleep, work, Overwatch? Do you even have time to eat?

i'm sorry but the meta on console has turned to shit. it's all reinhardt shielded players protecting torbjorns when on defense. it's stupid and not fun at all. the balance on console is not very good compared to the PC. i'll probably put this down if it continues like this until a patch comes out.

What does the platform have to do with meta and balance?

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Just won a game on Numbani by solo escorting the payload to the end as Mercy.

Silly Bastion campers.

The game hasn't even been out 2 days...

I'm guessing you play Dota. Then you of all people should know how valuable an ability is that forces the team to scatter else they die.

D.Va's ult is never going to get any substantial kills against experienced players, but will force them to abandon whatever positioning they had and run for safety, something your team can use to full effect.

It also works wonderfully with wombo combos like Mei's Ult, or Zarya's ult.

i'm fully aware of what it's supposed to do, I've just never have gotten an ult where it has mattered that they hide for a few seconds

I usually play solo, so that may be a factor in it

isn't it exactly the same?

I do leave the game on when i walk the dogs and make food and shit so the timer is probably off. Still, yes it's been pretty much OW all the time in my free time.

Very conflicted on this game. When both sides seem pretty equal in skill it's fun but still annoying getting seemingly one hit killed while others take what seems like 3x that punishment. But when you go up against a team who are clearly on another level it just becomes a frustrating mess, can't do a thing. So I've had some fun with it today but largely it's been pretty frustrating.
 
I'm not scared of Winston. He doesn't DPS or really makes sense to me.

*Winston jumps in, bubbles, ults and punches me off stages.

Honestly, he isn't scary without his Ult or bubble. He feels so special dependent.

There's things PC players can do with kb/m that console players cannot with gamepads. If you look at videos there are widow snipers dominating play on PC, you will not find that on console.

I know, trust me, i know. And it's only going to get worse.

As of now yes. But i believe Blizzard will balance them individually. So, i expect them to change a few things on the console side of things.

How many of them consists of you playing as Mei?

Mei is like my 7th most used character :(

Her and D.Va fell off hard from my time in open beta. Its Torbjorn->Mercy->Zarya now I think in time played, Zarya might actually have surpassed Mercy. Then Lucio.

Hell I've played more Reinhart than I have Mei / D.Va ;_; Symmetra is also creeping up there when someone takes Tor on defense

You must not have seen Zarya's...

I need Goth Russian Queen in my life asap

Symmetra and Winston say hi. Symmetra is particularly useful since she can punch through shields from range. Also, those shields aren't infinite; pour enough damage into them and they'll break. People who can pop out from cover and deliver damage across long distances are great for both shield-busting and turret-busting (so, basically, Pharah).
 
What doesn't really click for me about Overwatch, is how they make all of these cool looking characters but you don't really see your character since it's first person, and then the player is supposed to switch between them based on the current situation - kind of removing the connection between the player and the preferred character.
 
Got Blizzard to refund the game for me. It just isn't for me. I prefer to roll solo and this game is almost impossible to play lone wolf style. That has been my experience anyway. So I won't be complaining in this thread anymore. lol

To everyone enjoying it, have fun!

What kind of modes do you guys want to see? I want to see some more spread out modes


Like 2 bomb sites that need to be defuses, like COD's Demolition mode

More cinematic Capture Point maps would rock. Once a point is captured, the environment should change. Maybe like on a train, the carriages before the Capture Point A disconnect after it is captured.

In conjunction with good teamplay, he is extremely effective. On his own, he's just moderately annoying.

yeah this is a game that is absolutely impossible to play solo and that's why i think it will have a shorter life span, much shorter, on console vs on PC.

Depends who you're playing as against Winston. Winston can jump behind a team and get Junkrats, Widows, Hanzos, etc (squishy guys) without to much problem without his ulti and disrupt a push or some heavy damagers at least. With his ulti it's a different story and everyone will either focus on him or run away giving your team a lot of time to fire at will.

Winston is amazing.

Roadhog, Zenyatta, Tracer, Bastion, Lucio, and D.Va are my top picks.

Roadhog is a monster.

He's a lot more scary when he knocks a team's healer or sniper out of combat, distracting them long enough for the rest of his team to pummel yours. He's kind of like D.va, Tracer, or Genji, in that his utility extends far beyond straight firefights.

Tried Googling for the answer to this question, but didn't see anyone who had the info. Does anyone know offhand whether loot will transfer from version to version?

If I buy a bunch of loot boxes from the PC version of the game, then later decide to pick up the PS4 version, will my loot be tied to my Battle.NET account and be there on my PS4 version?

Something like the assault mode in Unreal Tournament 2k4 would be pretty cool

Ive been doing fine in solo or 2 person queues /shrug
 
I am so damn close to pulling the trigger on a purchase, GAF. What will push me over the edge?

The last online MP game I sunk a lot of time in was Splatoon. Loved it. Before that, I played a decent amount of Titanfall but admittedly sucked at it. Was still enjoyable.

Trying to think of anything else that would help an informed decision... I'm not really one to coordinate via voice chat...?

What say you? Buy or no?
 
Played as Lucio all night last night and he is a healing beast. His movement buff is also handy and overall he really boosts a teams survivability. Can't see myself ever using mercy when Lucio is as good as he is.
 
I played a ton of Zarya last night and yeah she's great great great great great

A+ hero would play again



Oddly enough I got a really anticlimactic POTG with her, I only saved one ally and killed an enemy roadhog. I had way better plays with her that match.

It is INSANEEE how fast you can reload with reaper if you reload cancel into a melee, you can melee pretty much as soon as you hit R and it'll work before you even have a chance to get your finger off R.

That shit right there approaches broken level of game mechanic.
