Man your team sound like a bunch of killjoys. Same hero teams are just for a little lark.
Was in a team of 6 mercys and we actually took the first capture point. Boosting and healing one mercy was actually kinda effective! Heroes never die all day long.
Though weirdly enough the only times I've consistently won anubis was in same hero teams. Took it easily with both an all widowmaker and all reinhardt team.

You can also try flanking pesky enemies like Bastions or Tjborns and his turrets, also if there's a Symmetra, track her turrets, do some damage, recall to get back health if needed and finish those off.
Trust me, your team will be grateful even if you don't rack up killstreaks.

It's just people having fun. It can be hilarious, especially if you win. I was in a game once where we all agreed on both sides to be Lucio. It was unending!

Most of that is bloat because of sprays and voice lines. If you ignore that, then yeah its possible to get everything you want unless you are a completionist. Which you shouldn't be in this kind of game, for your own sake.

Played a payload match against 5 Reinhardts and one Lucio where they were on offense. We steamrolled them so badly they all changed classes almost immediately.

Why lvl 100?

I had one instance of playing as Mercy. When we were all waiting at the spawn base, a Genji chased me trying to teabag me.
Fucking ridiculous.

The only time I'm tempted to do douchy things like emote and spray is when I kill a Mei.
You can prestige after 100.

Santa Reinhardt really though.
I can perfectly picture a Santa Roadhog, with a really fake beard just dangling from his face, not even attached properly.
Two people picking support though? Jackpot!
I didn't find it much fun in the match before, which I joined towards the end. They were Defense and camped the Route 66 spawn with Bastions.
Only thing I could think of was rushing past them with Tracer and getting the Payload moving. I was only two minutes or so in the game though, it didn't do too much.

She deserves every bit of it.
Enjoying it a lot. I actually bought mine from Amazon who lowered their price though. And since I had it pre-ordered, I got a partial refund for that. So It cost me a little less than $40 total. Definitely worth it to me even though I gripe about some games that I play with randoms.

I'm already over 20 hours in, and I still feel like I'm nowhere near bored with it. In fact, this may be one of those games I come back to consistently for years (see: almost all other Blizzard games too). $60 well spent.

Santa Roadhog with Junkrat and Toblerone with elf skins.
You could theoretically unlock everything if you keep playing the game. It's unlikely you could get it all by level 100, but you can 'prestige' back to level 1 when you get there and start the process all over again.
Feels good.
Don't like to therefore have to renew my PS+ subscription in two weeks though.
I think I'm 25-26 hours in. Still loving it.

Only played a couple hours but really enjoying the game so far. I've pretty much been using Lucio exclusively because not many people are picking support characters and he makes a huge difference between winning and losing. Despite playing with randoms I've got a 77% winning percentage with him right now, although that will inevitably change. Looking forward to getting more time with other characters.
Also despite playing on random teams I haven't had many bad experiences so far. Most are fighting for the objective at least.

Satisfied.
50 hours in and having a blast playing with fellow gaffers, while still itching for more. I would say pretty satisfied.
4 seconds from the game's end on defense and the payload is just a few meters from it's destination. Then suddenly everyone runs away from the payload, and who is left to stand on the point? Poor little Mercy (me) trying to heal and shoot while everyone focus fires on me for being the only one on the payload. I die and seconds later we lose. I'm not even mad, I'm just frustrated now.

Satisfied, the game is worth the price. Even with pad is enjoyable.

First time playing this game with no audio, listening to Giant Beastcast. I'll see how this goes, will probably be shit and I'll go back to Fire Emblem

There is no level cap, so eventually you could unlock everything

I think the better question is how do the people who bought 50 loot crates feel.
Good? I got to play my characters in nice skins early and also started hoarding dupe currency for future stuff.

That feeling when you join a team late and end up saving them from defeat. A very pleasant feeling.
You'll prestige at max level, going back to level 1, so don't worry about limited lootboxes. The RNG may not favour you, but time certainly does.

Do we know what max level is?

Tried playing a pug after playing with my regular group all night. Jesus christ what a shitshow. Ranked can't come soon enough.
Highly recommend everyone who feels frustrated to find a group ASAP, even if its just 1-2 other people it makes a world of difference. Something as small as being able to time your ults together completely changes the feel and mood of the game. I guaranteed you won't regret it. Use the reddit LFG threads or the LFG websites

I hate when people are all being walls.

100, I think? Didn't mention it because I'm not certain.
Some people were talking about that forced 50% thing, something interesting happened, I was in a really bad team for king of the hill (PlayedLucio only on contesting point), left after the defeat. Entered a game that immediately booted me claiming I was not active, then it auto threw me into a auto defeat game?
6 Reinhardt ftw

One time me and 5 friends did something similar. 4 went Trob, 1 went Reinhardt, and 1 went Lucio. We were defending and set up right at the start of the map. They never even made it to the first checkpoint and most of us never died.

HANZO ULTIMATE:
Pros - Extreme dmg, not bounded by walls, extreme range
Cons - Not insta-kill, enemies can leave dmg zone, extreme visibility, slow moving
Hanzo shouldn't be pushing and his ult shouldn't come from the front - this eliminates the "step left" mentality prevalent a few pages back. His radical agility, recon arrow, and ambush-like ability of his ult means a skilled Hanzo will always be in the PotG. You can unleash it from a distant, elevated vantage point and each map has points where that damn dragon will emerge from the walls 345 miles away from where Hanzo loosed his arrow, killing or disrupting any enemy position unlucky enough to be revealed through the walls.

100 is the end and then you prestige CoD style and start over with a star under your name. Look for those hardcore people.
