WTF am I even looking at here.

 

[Johndoey]

WTF am I even looking at here.

Mlg pro footage clearly. And portal.

 

[Feral Gingy]

WTF am I even looking at here.

The cavalry.

 

[Kane1345]

Why does Mei have an invulnerable heal and a solid sniping option. Why?

To cause salty tears

Spoiler

Probably

 

[GrandHarrier]

The least picked is Symmetra. I tried using her and I don't get it.

Her attacks go through shields so she can be a good counter pick to Reinhardt, etc.

 

[Kaffeemann]

not sure about anyone else here on the pc version but even at 144hz with 144fps I still get screen tearing, which I don't think was present in open beta.

Try borderless fullscreen.

 

[GlamFM]

Played it for a couple of hours and really start getting into it.

BUT!

Im really missing the carrot on a stick. I'm not progressing towards anything.

The unlocks are lame. The default skins are the best ones in most cases.

I feel no excitement when I open a loot crate.

That's a bummer.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Can anyone explain the thread subtitle to me like I'm a potato? I get the GoT reference, but "Onlywatch"?

You have to play it for the joy of playing the game, otherwise you'll stop caring quickly.

People with no access to the beta refered to the game as "Onlywatch" because the only thing they could do was watch others play.

 

[Xevren]

Is there some sort of group chat for groups on ps4? This game really isn't enjoyable with randoms in the slightest.

 

[Kurumi]

Overwatch Anime-Opening

haha this is amazing and it fits soo well.

Perfect. I'd watch the hell out of a Overwatch anime.

 

[Permanently A]

16 boxes

64 possible items, I got

4 rare quality skins

1 epic, a highlight intro

no legendaries

everything else is sprays and voice lines

I would like to go back to the beta please

We're progressing towards a community who learns to play the game to it's full potential while getting free maps and heroes and maybe even game modes along the way.

Aha! I figured it had to do with the beta somehow.

Pretty much this. You play to have fun.

(Also come play with us PS2 folk Klyka, we miss you )

I actually met a PS2 player in my second match on launch day who recognized me from community clash!

I'll see if I can join you guys for a couple rounds

A genji with a pocket mercy is certainly some unkillable bullshit

Especially when wins and losses mean fucking nothing.

Whatever this In game currency is that isn't used for anything, should be given out when you win. A victory isn't its own reward for I.

 

[kiguel182]

Yeah, I would love to have some more progression outside the game besides loot boxes at each level.

uh. The ingame currency is used to unlock all the cosmetic stuff.

 

[Frostt]

LOL I killed a Genji with my Mercy gun xD xD xD

Winning gives you more exp, but yeah, this game is meant to be just for fun. And the currency is used to buy stuff.

Competitive mode is coming, where victories will be more important.

All this said, I too wouldn't mind a bit more of a reward, but I'm okay with it the way it is.

 

[Klyka]

That posture just can't be healthy.

 

[Rize_21]

Roadhog: (laughs)

Yup, Roadhog, Soldier 76, Bastion, Mei, all have really solid self heals, and the cherry on the cake: Tracer.
People tend to be smarter as time goes by, I use to be surrounded now when I turn into iceblock form, if the icewall isn't up to escape after that, it's a wrap, pure and simple.

 

[MUnited83]

Why does Mei have an invulnerable heal and a solid sniping option. Why?

Eh I think it's fine. At least she stays in the same place so people can focus on her when she unfreezes. Tracer's time warp is much more bullshit, and basically has no downsides.

Tracer has VERY little health though. She needs that healing ability. You can still end her in seconds if whoever is playing isn't being mobile enough or gets stuck in a bad spot.

 

[Spring Drive]

Who cares, it's hot

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Started using McGree and holy shit is he good. The flashbang fan combo just melts squishy heroes and surprisingly decent range on his standard left click.

 

[Feral Gingy]

Does shooting a frozen Mei amount to anything? Will it shorten the freeze time or something? I usually instinctively shoot her when she's healing, but not sure if it has any effect.

 

[Tecnniqe]

It increases blood flow in 50% of the population so I think it's pretty healthy

 

[MUnited83]

Sure. A good player though, is almost unstoppable

Obviously it all depends on the person and not everyone is the same but isn't it enough to play the game because it is fun or to become a better player? Do games really need a carrot on a stick to keep people playing?

 

[biteren]

did they nerf D.Va? its way harder to get kills with her i feel. i am having a hard as hell time being effective with her

 

[GlamFM]

It sure helps.

i kind of love it - it's like Rocket League where you just play because the core gameplay is so tight

once they release more cosmetics, you may find your carrot though. maybe we'll get dailies / weeklies too.

 

[Ken]

hmm

 

[Xater]

Is this what gaming has come to? I miss the days of CS 1.6

Modern gamers have been ruined because of COD4.

And to me the potential for some. Cool loot is good enough. I already know they will ad new stuff to looks forward to as well.

 

[Klyka]

HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Fair enough. I hate the systems that games like CoD use but to each their own.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

ehl oh ehl

 

[cHinzo]

Hey, at least u can press T to spray ur tag on walls in this game.

 

[Trickster]

ehl oh ehl

How would anyone lose to this?

 

[UnluckyKate]

ehl oh ehl

Had a match we got 6 Lucios in front us on ilos. It was amazing we couldnt kill them with all their heals and it soon became like smash Bros trying to push them out of bounds. It was frantic and hilarious

 

[RevenWolf]

ehl oh ehl

Man I give that lucio credit because any semi competent team would be gunning for him harder than the objective lol.

 

[Vinter]

It feels refreshing to play a MP game were losses are acceptable because the game is so fun that losing doesnt matter as much. I have been lucky enough to avoid hostile players though.

 

[ViviOggi]

How would anyone lose to this?

It's Numbani, the most attacker-favored map in the game. Just shit tier map design all around. We did the same thing on that dumpster fire of a map except without the tryhard healer, 100% D.Va let's go

 

[GlamFM]

Lets not pretend Blizzard does not care about progression or loot. I mean... They do have unlocks, fancy loot crate animation and everything. It's just that the unlocks kinda suck.

It's Blizzard we're talking about. The carrot on a stick is their jam.

It's the principle behind WoW and Diablo after all.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Quoting from a few pages back for visibility.
Thanks in advance!

Didnt test exact numbers but it is fast, like PC level fast. Don't worry about that.
