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?

Seperate sadly. I've also got it on both xb1 and PC. That said I'm hoping the origins bonus from my xb1 copy will apply to the pc game too. It is a battle.net code but I won't know until I play the PC version. I only preordered the standard pc copy not origins in hope of this.

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.

Or just jump in ranked and MMR out of the pool of those players.

Nvidia Overwatch Game Ready driver released: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/overwatch-game-ready-driver-released

In beta I could play at 90fps/epic or 120fps/ultra at 1080p and that's without a single dropped frame with a 970/3570k. I prefered the latter, I found the higher the frame rate the less screen tearing I got.

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.

For me there are just heroes I really enjoy (my mains), heroes I don't like but can still play well enough, and some heroes I just can't play to save my life. But as with all games with a character selection I'm sure I'm going to eventually branch out and my mains will rotate as I get bored with my current repertoire or as I begin to experiment.

My Gamefly copy just came in! Any tips on what's the best class for a newbie?

Besides Soldier 76 I'd say,

1. Sahara: She can basically fly and has a rocket launcher. Start off by aiming at the enemies feet, when you get good, aim for where they "will be" not where they are, those direct shots do some damage. Use your super jump ability as much as possible and rain some hell from above.

2. Bastion is a pretty standard Tank character. Powerful as fuck, has a rifle, and ability to turn into a stationary character.

3. Reihnhardt. Big dude, with a big shield, that teammates love. He has a projectile attack ability. But mainly get up close with his charge ability or using the shield and swing away when not playing defensively.

Those are the first 3 I played and had fun with. But they are all pretty easy to pick up and play. Just hard to master.

Okay got my physical PC copy.
Lets do this.

 

[vypek]

couldn't move my order up. gave me $15 for my troubles. oh well.

Its nice you got some of it back. Totals to around $35 or something for you now? But still, kinda ridiculous how you pre-ordered a month in advance and they still couldn't get the game to you on time.

10GB patch on PS4; glad UPS showed up much earlier than they usually do.

Blizzards 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.

Sounds good to me, but what about crossplay between old and new consoles? How's Diablo 3 in this regard?

Elizabeth Banks is Mercy

Lea Seydoux would be a better fit imo, plus she's got an accent too

 

[The Incredible Muffin]

Im trying to choose between getting this for PS4 or PC.

PC: i'll play it on 120HZ and its only 40 $ (i dont care that much about skins)
PS4: Finally have something to play with my PS4 and can re-sell the game if i don't like it long enough.

What are your thoughts?

Doesnt it also need to be 100×120 for transparency to work?

[LurkerPrime]

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...

Any game with classes can suffer from such a mentality. MOBAs or shooters; TF2, and Overwatch included. It's going to be one of Overwatch's bigger struggles with the playerbase, I think. Over time people will realise how key switching heroes is, but it will take time. Fortunately, it has a lot of good tips that help players understand what is going on, like that "[class] needed" note when first starting a match; it will help people select a semi-viable comp, or at least know why they're doing badly.

Like, personally, I had a moment of revelation during the beta when I realised I could switch on the fly. I was switching occasionally but generally dedicated myself to whoever I felt like playing--it wasn't clicking with me that I wasn't locked in, in spite of knowing Overwatch's TF2 inspiration.

 

[deoee]

Doesn't it just rescale when uploaded?

I mean, I can change it no problem.
But I thought I'd just do it by itself

Couldn't go wrong with either. I guess the biggest question would be do you want to play with a controller or kb/m?

Just picked up my PS4 copy from Best Buy, the included metal plate is pretty neat - probably about the size of a license plate.

Not mine, but pic for reference:

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.

Regardless of picks and counterpicks, people will just gravitate to their favourites. Some people will be more flexible than others, but at the end of the day the character you "main" is the one you'll try to play with the most.

Console download speeds are garbage so 10gb takes a lot longer to dl than on PC.

I would imagine my PS4 will take a good long time do D/L that patch. I am guessing that is what is being referenced. No internet speed can fix PSN when it is being grumpy.
