It's so damn easy to just jump in for a game and play five. The pros of short match times, they leave you wanting more.

Also finally were in a couple of games that had people chatting and laughing cross teams instead of being sour :D

2x Zarya on KotH maps is absolutely filthy. I wonder if Blizz is considering putting a limit on how many characters you can have per team. Honestly, I think you could do 2x Lucio, McCree, and Zarya and win just about every KotH in Quick Play.

Microsoft is running an Xbox Live Rewards promotion for people who refer a friend to buy Overwatch on Xbox One between now and June 18th. Both the referrer and referee are rewarded with Xbox Live Reward points and some avatar material. Anyone here want to link up with me? If you're buying the game on Xbox One sometime soon we might as well. We'll both benefit. Shoot me a PM. Thanks!

I feel like Soldier needs to be nerfed, A team can easily rock 2 Soldiers and wreck your team because the main gun is really really really good at all ranges.

He's good at all ranges but not great at any. He's very balanced, but can not go 1v1 against Widowmaker from afar or any decent close range hero. he excels with a competent team though.

The "Loaded Clown car" or whatever they call it, in escort is some serious crap. Had it happen twice last night. One with 2 Reinharts shielding front and back, Bastion mounted on top, Mercy and Lucio, all on the car. They were unkillable. You could knock one off the car for a second with a rocket and they'd just hop right back on. Tried to junkrat tire them off but they'd kill the wheel before it got there. It was horrible.

I'd imagine it will because blizzard usually supports mac afaik.

To be fair, they committed at least 3 characters to that strategy. You can't really expect to counter it with just one. Also depends on the map I guess.

Toss Junkrats mine on their stupid faces and they'll rethink things. Provided you have a team to clean them up as they all get knocked silly.

For some reason I seem to play the game much better solo. Not sure why. 4 games in a row I had top damage, top elims, and potg. Maybe yesterday I was just playing poorly. I always do seem to play best in the morning.

Still my accuracy needs to be a lot better with soldier. I need a 40-50% hitrate.

I made the mistake of setting render scale to 9x. I was wondering why the game froze whenever I took screenshots. Each one was over 650 MB big

These are PNG taken with other program, and they are over 1GB. Much better quality.

Can't believe this game has Sprays. Haven't cared about sprays since CS 1.6
Click to expand...
Yeah, I like the sprays more than the skins; at least I can see them when I'm playing!

Nobody seems to use them, though. I leave them throughout the level as a warning to my foes..

This is all I've been seeing lately.

This and four Bastion teams. Guess I should play with GAF members.

I don't know why Blizzard makes you buy Loot boxes and not the items you want directly. If there is a scummy thing about these microtransactions, that is it. I'm not paying for any Lootboxes unless I know exactly what I'm getting.

Yep, there are so many costumes I'd actually buy. Loot boxes I am not buying.

That's because when you play in a group, you're playing against other groups. Playing Solo (generally) means you're going to be lumped in with other Pubs, who aren't as coordinated and potentially aren't playing "for the team". Exceptions apply, obviously, but it's certainly easier to play well by yourself.

I watched a PotG with a Genji who dropped the Well Played spray on the ground after his kills.

I feel like I haven't play a single game out of 60 on Numbani since the release. I guess that's random playlists for you, but I've even forgotten what it looks like.

Can only recall like one or two games on Gibraltar too. Meanwhile, that damn Lijiang Tower is common.

Is a strategy, this game requires teamwork... if your team lacks it, quit and look for another set of players. Or play with friends.

The sprays are kinda boring and I don't even notice them when people use them.

I have played 3hrs with Zarya. The next one is 36 mins with Lucio, oh my, maybe I should mix it up a little.

Well sure, there is some merit to that statement. But there is actually something to be able to just focus completely on the game without distractions, that little edge can make a big difference. And I'm not just talking about my stats or success, just my aim in general was better. I was hitting more shots, finishing off more characters, my game sense seemed better.

edit:
Also on the reverse, I played a ton of closed beta solo. And when I started playing with friends I felt worse.
