76 + 1 for every character the game has, minus 2 for reaper. So +19.
95. but I must account for how OP everyone says Bastion is. And how Ozium doesn't like Mei. So -5.
90 is my final answer.

I didn't get that impression at all from his response.

Someone asked if the console vs PC version would be balanced the same. Jeff said they're okay with making separate changes and gave the example that on console, Symmetra's turrets have auto aim attracting your crosshairs to them, but they're tweaking how strong that auto aim is because sometimes you would be trying to kill an enemy and the turret auto aim would screw you up.
Gotta use that 100posts per page man!

There's no grinding at all. Everything unlocked from the get go
"We know what FPS players want"
20-tick servers
What is DRAGON: THE GAME
Depending on your hero you die pretty quick.
Many abilities oneshot and the ttk is very low so you'll be running back to the hotspots pretty often in your early days
Do you guys feel like there will be much griefing at the start? I'm picturing a new player coming up against a team of TORBJÖRNs with one support.
What do you think the community will be like across the board? I think it'll be interesting to see how the PC playerbase operates in comparison to PS4 or Xbox One.

No server browser either, right?"We know what FPS players want"

People will rage if the game starts "showing itself" as a result... i'm sure (i hope) Bliz raises that shit. It's not 2003 anymore.
No they started to ramble on about how they are respectful to the FPS genre and know what people want from a FPS, yet it seems we're stuck with 20 god damn ticks.
Blizzards biggest flaw is their Design Bubble they live in
This is Activision, we will get more ticks via Microtransactions.

Game is not even out and I'm already sick of the tick rate stuff.
If the game feels good, that's what matters. People are just going to use this as a scapegoat when they perform poorly.

Since this kind of thing varies on a per-game and pre-engine basis, what are you all doing to get minimal input lag without tearing in Overwatch?
For me the in-game vsync adds tons of input lag, so I keep that off. If I limit the frames to my refresh rate (60) via my Crimson driver settings, there is less input lag than I get with vsync but more than there is when running an uncapped framerate. There's also some noticeable tearing. When running at a mostly stable 100fps there is hardly any input lag at all thanks to the higher input sampling from the game, and tearing is slightly less noticeable because any two frames hitting the screen out of sync are similar enough in content to not show obvious tearing as often.
But there's no solution I've come across that gives me a smooth image with no tearing or input latency, and that's a real shame because the game's art style deserves to be displayed smoothly.

Can some explain like I'm 5...what is the tick rate, and how does it effect the game?

Except it's not a scapegoat? It was a common problem during the beta.

"Tick rate is the frequency with which the server updates the game state. This is measured in Hertz. When a server has a tick rate of 64, it means that it is capable of sending packets to clients at most 64 times per second. These packets contain updates to the game state, including things like player and object locations. The length of a tick is just its duration in milliseconds. For example, 64 tick would be 15.6ms, 20 tick would be 50ms, 10 tick 100ms, etc."

Don't worry about it. It most likely won't affect your enjoyment of the game at all if you aren't big enough into FPS to know what it is.
Thats the dumbest excuse ever.
Tick rate can literally change how the game pans out.
In a fast game like this its really necessary when you get into higher ranked plays and hinge on millisecond decisions.
Fucking QUAKE had higher.
Even TF2 had like 100 tick at launch a decade ago.

Already bought my digital copy. Played the beta. Waiting for the game to officially go live... and I have no idea what 20 tick server whatever means...
