Yeah, when you are on your own you just have to wait to use it when your charge is decently high (I would say 50+) and you can just lob alt fire shots into it. Nobody it seems is really communicating is pubs enough yet to coordinate ult use.
I'm on pc but i tend to only be able to play 1 or 2 games at a time
Yes, i feel I'm the only person on my teams who bothers switching to a tank or healer
I haven't really picked a hero or 2 who i like above others, i mainly play as mercy because people just refuse to pick healers. Then of course no one protects me when I'm trying to heal everyone. The skill level difference just seems to be far too wide already

Nice try, Tracer.
I'm going to pick this up tonight, not sure its my kind of shooter but I am falling for the hype, reviews and feedback are way to good! Wish I played the beta, I downloaded it but didn't find the time.
Any suggestions on a couple of the easier to use characters to start out with? I am a COD and Gears guy, never played Team Fortress, Counter Strike or any of those kinds of games.

No single player to take peoples mind off of things, I bet.
The tutorial character, Soldier 76 is probably a very good starting point to get used to things. A simple, easy, and effective character.
I haven't been playing solo, but for people who are I think Blizz needs to add a solo queue mode. I can tell when I'm playing against a team in quick play because I roll 3-6 deep, and depending on the resistance you get a pretty good idea of the communication going on (or lack thereof) and a good team will absolutely take advantage of that.
I play McCree and Pharah a *lot*, so if I'm roaming and get into a flank spot, I'll test the waters and kill one and see what the reaction is. If nobody turns around, it's like, okay, these guys aren't playing together -- we can go flank city.
So obviously that's really hard on people who are solo (on consoles). They should really have their own mode. I'd use it too, occasionally.

Soldier 76 seems based off the COD type shooting and is easy.

Solider 76 is very easy to pick up and play right out of the gate.
Winston is an easy to learn tank/front line disrupter that has an auto-aiming gun and a decent amount of health and mobility so he's a good starter character as well.

Soldier 76. He's even the character in the tutorial.

Oh man, a Winston used his Ultimate and knocked me over the edge of a map while I was playing as Roadhog and I managed to hook him on the way down. Arcade mode is such mayhem.
I'd say any character besides Genji and Zenyatta.
Soldier 76 always is a good start and when you need a healer take Lucio.

Only encountered two or three jerks in the wild. One was last night, when a guy on the other team was calling his team some homophobic and racist shit, all because they lost the first round of a Control map. He was also mad because we ran three tanks?
He was using Genji, so next round I just sought and destroyed him (as Tracer, which isn't even a good counter) while our team mocked him in chat. PotG was me getting a quick double with Tracer before taking the jerk out from behind. Very satisfying.
In retrospect, we should have gone six Winston to really ruin his day.

The amount of money Blizzard must be making on Loot Boxes is insane. I have two friends who bought 100 and I even ended up buying the 24 pack, and I've never paid money for a cosmetic before.
cool, I think there is but im not sure how to join it
also whoever armada that added me is, invite me anytime to a group

I love playing as Lucio. That speed boost, especially while "turned up" is awesome.
It's such a passive way to play, too. Just hang back and make sure I'm shadowing someone that needs healing.

I think it would be too strong if the provided shields stayed up but it drains so quickly.

I keep getting thrown into Pre-Match Skirmish games because the game can't find a match to join for Arcade mode.
Do you keep EXP for Skirmishes?

Absolutely loving the game so far. Incredibly to play with friends. Played a control point match where we came back to win from 0-99....heart was pounding and hands were shaking after that.
Top 5 so far:
1. Junkrat
2. Lucio
3. Reaper
4. McCree
5. Hanzo
If you'd also like to throw an invite my way, that'd be awesome. Gurbz#1193 on Bnet

I really hope they add more UI elements that give us more information about our team mates/opponents. For example, character portraits at the top for each team (similar to how dota does it) that tells us if they have their Ultimate ready or not.
Also - a map would be beneficial for me personally, but im not sure that is something they will ever add.

Please if you let your battle.net id on the OT, specify if you're from US or EU, sadly we can't all play together.
No nothing, you can desactivate it in the options tho.

I wouldn't call him OP as a single hero but he is OP in a way that he is better than other supports. I guess buffing the other support heroes could work. Well except maybe Mercy as she's fine currently.

I'm only level 7 and I already got duplicates.
It's fucking stupid.
At least they give you some coins for the duplicates though.

Free exp? People can't see your W/L ratio anyway
I think neither of those additions will help the game, most likely would make it worse.
Not having the ultimate status and not having a map make it possible for people to flank.

So, if you're playing as Lucio on Illios a great tactic is to jump in the well and wall run when it gets hairy. I was able to contest a point on my own while my entire team respawned, leaves the enemy team scratching their heads

Actual PTOG from last night: Enemy Pharah ults, Reinhardt shield blocks all the rockets, I kill Pharah from behind the shield.
It was HER play of the game. Zero kills.

Finally starting to get how to play Deeva after some fun games. Storming forward like a wrecking ball, using the shield, and picking off lone squishies or getting people to chase me. Tons of fun tbh.

Yeah, I love Lucio on Ilios. Definite pick for a team to win on it!So, if you're playing as Lucio on Illios a great tactic is to jump in the well and wall run when it gets hairy. I was able to contest a point on my own while my entire team respawned, leaves the enemy team scratching their heads
God damn it. There really needs to be a limit of 2 of a singular hero per team.
Not sure what a team is supposed to do against an enemy team of only Torbjorn on defense after a certain point. What a nightmare.
Had a fun match against an all-Tracer team yesterday, but it sure was annoying. Just not in this way.

So what youre saying is they should buff Zenyatta.
Seriously though, I actually do think they should make it so you don't have to keep line of sight for his healing orb. Either that or give him slightly more health.
Just curious why you dont think knowing if your team mate has his ulti would help or not? For instance, if the timer is ticking down, and you need to make a suicide run to save overtime, wouldnt it help to know if mercy has her ultimate to rez you? Or if your opponent Pharra has her justice ready to reign down on you.
The map thing I can understand. However, it doesnt have to show you where everyone is at all times. It should only show you their player icon if they make noise (by shooting).

seeing these advanced tactics evolving
had my team wiped twice from timed zarya singularity ult with a mcree ult
had us snatched all together and mcree with the high noon and 6 dome shots--GONE, just like that

I sometimes wish a team couldn't stack characters, especially when there's such a robust cast of characters. I had a few annoying matches yesterday against 4-5 Meis and 4-5 Torbjorns. It really smeared my experience quite a bit.
