Could someone avatarize Genji for me?

 

[Shabadoo69]

Do y'all know if I can pick up my Best Buy preorder anywhere or only at the specific Best Buy I placed my preorder at?

it has to be at the one you preordered at.

Please tell me a 21:9 version exists of this!

So i'm looking at this zenyatta guide, supposedly he's a tank shredder?

I think the game has a lot of hype around hardcore gamers but I don't know many casual gamers who are getting it. They've heard of it but aren't buying day one.

True!

Don't mind me ima throw some gasoline on the hype fire

His discord orb shreds tanks. It's crazy no matter who you apply it to since it makes the target receive 50% more damage.

He's basically a glass canon.

Zenyatta is an almost-everything shredder. Staying alive as him is the hard part, since Widowmaker can kill you with a charged body shot from across the map.

Discord amplifies damage taken. Drop it on a tank and they go down really fast.

Zenyatta beats stationary heroes very well. I'd imagine he'd get shredded by either a D. Va or a Winston player.

His debuff ability though takes down tank + medic combos pretty well though. His range and damage is also pretty ridiculous. He just struggles against characters that can get close or can snipe, as he is literally made out of paper mache.

Discord orb sounds amazing! I didn't play the beta, so I don't know, but I'll definitely try and master zenyatta

 

[Interfectum]

Based on the animated shorts seems to me other Blizzard IP is considered entertainment in Overwatch canon (dude playing Hearthstone, that girl's murloc purse, etc.)

So no Reaper vs. Lich King to see who is the biggest brooder.

 

[bones123]

That MHA wallpaper gets a thumbs up from me as well.

Thanks!

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Is this game a good pick up and play type of game? Or is there a lot of grinding involved?

 

[DJSebolski]

My Best Buy order is ready for pickup. I thought it was tomorrow?

Yea, Zenyattas damage is amazing, but he dies if a fly lands on him and has zero mobility. Still fun in a lot of matches because you can turn a fight so quick with your damage, but if they have a widowmaker that's not brain dead, forget it, switch characters.

Places are letting you pick it up today. I know GameStop is also.

 

[Haines]

Alright. Did the preorder on xbone ( for my elite controller) my ps4 will be kept warm with uncharted and doom

I will be using a mic and looking for a nice social experience.

Add me and I'll do my best to get some games and fun teams going. It's how I prefer my online mp.

Looking forward to the next great blizzard game.

0 grind. Everything unlocked but cosmetics.
Matches last between 7-10 minutes.

It's definitely part of the Blizzard Content Universe (BCU) at the very least. Tracer's in Heroes of the Storm, along with a Nova skin, and I suspect that's only just the beginning.

 

[Ohnonono]

Picked this up for PS4 today. Anyone know what kind of download I am looking at if I bought the retail copy? Also, hope this game is good!

It's pick up and play. No grinding involved whatsoever.

 

[Cels]

Thats insane. It wasn't even like you just ordered it late last night. Yeah, checking with customer service is a good idea. You might actually be able to get some store credit or partial refund on your order.

couldn't move my order up. gave me $15 for my troubles. oh well. i'll be waiting until friday i guess....

i don't understand how this stuff happens. i pre-ordered on apr 22 with prime release day delivery for may 24, which got moved up to may 23.

the morning of may 23, i receive an email saying it would be delayed to may 27. i'm pretty pissed. they offered me $15 off to compensate but honestly i don't care about that, just want the game in my hands today.

Easy to pick up, hard to master

 

[Ricerocket]

The grind is only for cosmetic stuff, it's a very good pick up and play when you want game. The rounds aren't all that long either.

[BlackGhost]

Holy whit didn't even realize this was unlocking in 6 hours. Thought I'd have to wait till midnight. Looks like I will get some play time in tonight. Cya guys on ps4

 

[LiQuid!]

Are all the "I'm going to main [character]" people just LoL players who are so used to playing a game where they have to buy/grind to unlock heroes that they don't comprehend a game where all of the heroes are available and balanced to counter each other and be more or less useful in specific situations and with certain lineups? None of my Dota friends have this mentality of playing a single hero in Overwatch...

Just people in general playing what they want.
Same reason there's millions of scouts/snipers in shooters.

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

What time does it release on Xbox One?

 

[ekim]

Anyone knows how accounts are handled? I connected Xbox Live to my Blizz account and I might also buy it on PC. Will I be able to use the same player profile or are they separate?

Probably just the patch. It was like 10gbs I believe? Not sure if it's the same for retail copies as I have mine digital.

 

[Haloid1177]

Didn't play the beta very much, but wanna try Widowmaker and Pharah first. Haven't put any time into PvP games since MW2 so this should be suitably fun and awful for me.

 

[causan]

So are the servers live now? Not that it matters for me, I'm sure my UPS guy won't be here till this afternoon.

If you aren't good at shooters, Lucio or Mercy are good picks as well.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Installing now. See you soldiers once I get off work. 👌

The "main" mentality isn't a League exclusive thing, it's common in any game with lots of "characters". People just aren't used to the idea of picks and counterpicks.

 

[Bittercup]

Since Blizzard's games have a rather long lifespan, how are they going to handle the transition to the next gen consoles? I know it's not happening anytime soon with the Neo and possibly upgraded xbox extending this gen, but still.

Does Blizzard even consider OW to be a decade long experience on consoles? What's the most likely scenario regarding Overwatch on consoles now and in the future?

Blizzard's transition with Diablo 3 wasn't too bad. You could upload your last gen character to battle.net and import it into the next gen version. You still had to buy the game again for the next gen version.
If Overwatch is still active when the next gen consoles are released I wouldn't be surprised if you could take your profile with you to the new system.

It's not tied to LoL players. It's a common mentality. If you want to avoid this as much as possible then squad up when playing because there's going to be a lot of players who stick to their favorite.
