Overwatch |OT| My Onlywatch Has Ended

McCree can fire highly damaging extremely accurate rounds from far away, McCree can even outsnipe Hanzo or Widowmaker in the right hands. Deadeye instantly kills people if they don't hide. Bastion can't move.

The pistol can do a lot of damage even from range, and since Bastion is stationary a McCree can pretty much snipe him.

But that damage isn't any more extreme than Bastion's own. I guess he falls under the same counter heading as Widow or Pharah, hit him from outside his effective range, but considering that most of his kit is geared for closer-range fighting, and his lack of movement options like Tracer, I wouldn't really call him a counter.
 
Every time I fall in love with character another one I choose tickles me pink even harder. Gawd roadhog is so stupid fun. Lol. That makes 3 tank characters i love playing. Reinhardt and zarya are baes too.
 
I really can't decide if I should get PC or PS4.

I'm better at console shooters, but I'd rather save myself $20. Plus I'm worried which community will last longer in the long run.

Yes, on PC. I highly doubt we will find really good Mcrees on console. There will be very few truly terrifying McCrees on XBox/PS4

I was just in a match against an amazing McCree dude on PS4. watched his killcam for me and he hit me directly while I was moving from far away with all 5 shots. Dude kept getting his Ultimates cuz he was destroying my team.

Thankfully, they lost cuz he was just going for kills and didn't help escort the payload. I went after him cuz he was so annoying. Hehe

I dont think even the most hardcore console players will debate which Overwatch community will last longer dude.

PC version. Overwatch is primarily designed around keyboard and mouse. Not to mention the community will outlast the consoles by a good bit.

I'm on PS4. Since I pre-ordered from Amazon I got it for $39 but I don't think it will be possible to get it for less than $50 now since the price only happened through pre-order price guarantee and using prime.

If you are worried about the longevity, I very heavily doubt that anywhere will outlast PC. I don't see how it could happen unless there were hackers running rampant and Blizzard did nothing about it.

You guys seen this site? https://watcher.gg, pretty cool to see all your stats and check out the highest rated people.

Wonder how they pull these. I'm ranked oddly high in some areas. lol

I added myself to the PC community list. This game definitely seems like it would be a lot better with an organized group. So feel free to add me if you'd like.

Still without luck
She's ridiculously annoying to kill. Constantly hiding in her ice shell as soon as she's about to die.

That's why Junkrat is so good with her. You plant the mine right at her feet for when she comes out of it and boom!

Cannot fucking stand Tracer. I had a rivalry in a match I just played where she kept flanking past my team to get to me and I was sniping as Hanzo and absolutely wrecking. She won the first few 1v1s but I got lucky afterwards and just kept getting headshots on her. Shit was infuriating.
 
Obviously PS4 cuz people will start quitting when people start cheating on PC. :p

400+ games throughout now and beta, still haven't seen a cheater...

That's cool website. I didn't know I had 100% winrate with Winston and Hanzo, two heroes I'm terrible with.

The way that might have happened is that you switch when you're losing, so the loss gets recorded on a different hero. It's a pretty unreliable system.

I think a BIG thing about this game is situational awareness. I dont think most people are extremely good at that habitually.

You pay the price for not being aware of enemy team set up, not being aware of the play styles of all characters, of footsteps, move cries, ways to effectively use a character.

There have been times I'm on mic with my friends, playing King of the Hill, tell them I'm going in to beserk as Winston and to clean up the mess because most fire will be focused on me. They still habitually get zombified into their own little duels if they are outside the point and don't see the big picture.

Like another time we were rushing back to the point and we had another tank goofing around with a stray Tracer, I chose to ignore he and continue on to the point if she followed me she would get pulled into the meat grind anyway. I get if you are experimenting with characters but I've beserked so many times with the team either not doing anything or still somehow dying in the chaos before I do.

Then my big question is whether or not I should get it on PC, despite being absolutely dogshit on k+m controls.

There are classes that don't really rely on good aiming skills so you'll be fine, and once you start getting better with M&KB you'll have even more classes at your disposal. Or just play classes you enjoy even if you aren't great, since others don't see your stats it's hard to tell who's playing badly a lot of the time.

That is cool. #106th in best healing in a game, im ok with that lol

Edit: 16k healing with Mercy in a stupid long game I had in day 1 or 2. Won't happen again any time soon.

Top 10 eliminations with Zenyatta, time to go pro I guess.

I'm having terrible luck with matchmaking today. Keep getting paired with the same group of players every time, and they don't seem to understand that you have to play this as a team.

It'd be nice if it didn't track KDA, especially when playing Mercy absolutely murders your deaths. It's absolutely worthless for people who play team-support roles like her, and don't focus on killing blows.

Lord knows that's one of my least favorite stats when it comes to teamplay. Thank God it's not in the player career stats in-game, though.

What the fuck are you supposed to do against some of these cheese strats

Just had a team go 4 Torbs, a Mercy, and a Mcree while defending and it was fucking impossible to do anything about.

That's not fun. That makes me regret buying this game.
 
You need to get a handle on where to put them. You should be playing Defense, so you want somewhere out of the long sight lanes, near a chokepoint, in range of whatever you're trying to defend, ideally.

Teleporter placement is equally tricky. Near enough to cut down on travel time significantly, but out of the places people typically go, and hidden from view. This'll get easier once we have heatmaps.

I understand how to use her in normal play but when 4 tracers are just popping in pot shorting turrets and me and jumping away there's nowhere they're safe.

A reinhardt or two with people staying behind his shield should destroy that team. Getting people to work together like that when playing with randoms is another, even harder task though.

The current Arcade mode, and future ones, is probably going to skew stat sites a fair bit as it doesnt seem to differentiate between Quickplay and Arcade.

I don't think weekly Brawl stats show. It didn't show in my career profile in the beta.

Even if you couldnt do anything (you can), the matches are so fast (average 10min), just takenthe L and move along? Gimmick matches are so rare anyway
 
After having not played Zarya once in the beta, I unlocked her Arctic Skin today and christ almighty. Unlimited power turbo muscular Russian chick. Throwing shields left and right, charging my laser vortex to grenade spam. I missed out.

Get a gaming mouse and a Playstation move analog stick with bluetooth adapter, works for me, besides the mouse for aiming I think KB is terrible for this game unless you were raised on KB.

Genji. Junkrat. Hanzo. Pharah.

Long ago, these four heroes countered Bastion in harmony. But everything changed when the cheese strats attacked. Only their ultimates, which were best suited to countering were needed most, they weren't charged.
