Ra was my first legendary skin so beats me. Not a choice I had to make.

I just know whatever skin I pick, my next legendary will be a duplicate of it.

Honestly I think that this game is so much about cheese and cheap tactics that single hero will just be a sticking plaster fix to that. But there is a big difference in that high level play cheese is different to low level cheese. Competitive players don't really care because to competitive people the only thing that really matters is winning and reliable tactics they can use to get a win are what they always argue for. But for viewers I have doubts about this game being fun to watch.

Hey, I narrowed it down last night to those 2 before I went to bed
. Already got an epic for D.Va so her legendary can wait and I like Junkrat's Toasted epic skin more then his legendaries tbh so I'll get that one later. Picking skins is hard man.You have to go into the options again and there you will now find a button "Unlock Digital Goodies".

Hey guys anyone run into this problem? Everytime I exit overwatch my battlenet still thinks its running, it won't let me play again until I turn off/restart my pc. For clarification I literally exit to desktop in OV and tried quitting battlenet and it still thinks it's running.
*edit* found a fix, if anyone is having trouble with this just bring up task manager and end task of "battlenet 32 bit*
It confused me seeing as how overwatch wasn't on the task manager but ending the battlenet client fixed it.

I wonder if Mercy could be made more interesting by giving her the ability to glide towards enemies (on the unused ability key E on PC.)
It'll give her some options when her designated driver dies on the frontline instead of just instantly turning into flanker bait... doesn't seem too game-breaking with the slow glide and weak pistol.

Ohhh I havent noticed that. I will try it when I get back from work. Thanks.

Yeah that's been my impression so far, if your whole team is grouping up behind the Reinhardt they're doing it wrong. Reinhardt is there to push the payload by himself or with one other person without getting instantly blown up by snipers and whatnot. Any other character is at a huge disadvantage as the front-line damage soak when you have to stand/walk in a relatively stationary position. What other option could be considered better for absorbing incoming damage than the guy with a 2,000 point recharging shield?
Reinhardt gives your team the freedom to play more offensively because you don't have to worry about the payload as much. It forces the enemy team to devote more resources to taking down his shield (possibly forcing character swaps), which opens up side-lanes for the rest of your team to break through.
Took me a while as well, pretty weird process from Blizz.
I'm aware that Overwatch's matchmaking system tries to match organized teams against each other such that a full team of 6 players in a party don't get matched against 6 random people, but how does that work for smaller parties? If I play with a group of 2-3 people, myself included, do we just get matched against other teams with similarly small parties + randoms?

I don't understand how so many times my team will get the point 99:0 and then somehow magically it gets reversed and the idiots all end up chasing people down back alleys until we lose, it's the healer's curse or something...
This one match a sniper was standing openly on a roof and killing everyone over and over until I finally said fuck healing warped next to the fucker as reaper and shot their head off. I don't get it, how are people getting to lvl 50+ without any situational awareness >_<
I want to be offense so badly but I swear I am either a tank or heals just purely because nobody cares to play them. I hope when more characters come they are heal or tank based just to give me some variety.
Edit: and ya the matchmaking is unreal, you do great with a group, nope time to split you up and toss you as the healer for 5 snipers on assualt fml

Have to disagree. I prefer Ra

I would not be surprised if there's some hidden rubber banding going on, this situation happens too often.
I'm looking for players to join! I'm new, played about 12 hours. When my friends are offline I'm usually playing quickmatch. I don't like quickmatch, it always result in me being the healer because the rest of the team doesn't give a shit. and go solo. I'm on PC, DM me if you want to team up.
That's pretty much the reason why level is not the defintive indicator of skill. It's only time spent which could mean that higher levels should have better situational awareness or better grasp of game mechanics etc but not necessarily so. I've seen idiots insist on playing a hero over another player because they were 10-20 lvls higher *facepalm*

I bought the El Blanco Reaper skin and just unboxed the Mariachi one.
I wish there was an option to set and select skins to random.

So, the leaver penalty. How does it work? I didn't even know it existed before today. Just fired up Overwatch for the first time in 24 hours and there's a notice on the title screen that I have a leaver penalty. OK. Yeah, I left some games because I have a five day old daughter and also got put into some really stupid groups and don't have time to waste.
I play my first game and win and I get a 75% xp reduction. It pretty much eliminates my first win of the day bonus. Thanks, Blizz! Second game, I don't see the notice anymore. Cool. Win second game. Get 75% xp reduction. Wut. OK, restart game. Play again. No notice of penalty on title screen or anywhere. 75% xp reduction. Am I fucked for life or something?
I actually don't mind the penalty, I would just like to have been notified beforehand this would happen. That way I won't start games when I'm on daughter duty. Pretty annoyed by the lack of transparency on this.

I feel like the percentage ticker goes way faster in these kind of overtime situations than it normally does at the start of a match. But that could very well be confirmation bias at work.

because levels have nothing to do with skill, just time played. once ranked comes out this will be resolved.
just gave a couple of characters i hadn't tried a spin. McCree is good, he's probably going into rotation. I can't play Bastion or Roadhog for shit so they're out. Mei is real fun (she almost operates like a pyro to my feel but with more blocking) but I need a good team to back her up. I need more practice with Widowmaker but I think there are already a lot of good snipers around and I don't have the twitch necessary to play her sadly

I really found my groove with Reinhardt again last night, even got PotG twice in a row. Check out this vide for an awesome Ulf combo with Zarya

I would generally agree, but a rank 90+ pretty much played thrice as much as me. I'd consider that enough of a difference to make me think it's not fair.
It's funny how it was a lot easier to unlock stuff in the beta (or am I insane), then when loot crates are for sale it's slow as molasses and the stuff isn't as good. Apparently I needed that more frequent rate of gratification, because I am not having nearly as much fun with the full game and that's the only change to the flow that I've noticed. I like the game, it's well made, but I'm sort of wishing I'd waited now rather than have $70cdn tied up in it.
One thing that's especially odd is how Widowmaker was my best character in the beta, but now I basically suck with her and got better with Pharah (Solder 76 has remained a constant main choice though).

Lucio is fun. Mercy is boring. With Lucio you get to run around just as much if not more so than Mercy, you're attacking while healing, knocking people's asses back, getting up in the thick of the fight. As Lucio you can skate and hug the Payload all day, as Mercy you pretty much just die.
Quitter penalty is pretty well known
Just shoot rockets bruh, like, all the time dawg.Phara - seem to die very quickly not kill much st all
Seriously. You basically win almost all mid-range damage trades, have 2 escapes. It just comes down to aiming at correct points (pin point aim at long distance is important to splash correctly) and not shoot all over the place. No one ever looks up in this game except that ruin KOTH map so any jumpjet -> rockets should be garunteed at least 300+ damage. You destroy tank armor so hard it's not even funny and have one of the best ultimates in the game.
Things to do:
- Hug walls while flying so you can knockback yourself away from enemy fire when they decide to shoot you
- Aggressively pressure Widows
- Don't get sniped
- Don't pick into a team with a lot of hitscan
- Don't be in the air if more than one person is shooting you
- Use falling + jets to dodge, not moving side to side until you have no fuel left
- Spam rockets all the time from an angle away from your team if possible, otherwise just spam
Haven't gotten a single Pharah skin drop either

You're playing against people who bought an fps instead of people who just tried one that was available for free.
What are you even talking about Roadhog is the tankiest tank after Reinhardt. He has the highest base health in the game. His heal is super powerful as it heals 300HP in an instant and charges in 6 seconds. You will almost always enter a fight with full HP and can even heal midfight.

It's incredible how much of Overwatch is lifted directly from Team Fortress 2. There is definitely a little spite about Dota 2 baked into the core of it.

I find when I use Mercy the team has to have a proper tank and flanker setup, if not I am the number one target for everything, it's awful sometimes you go in with a competent tank and get swarmed only to notice you and the tank were the only ones even pushing =/
Lucio is definitely more friendly to heal with when teams are being the usual *rolls eyes* at least he can stay alive longer and passively heal the one or two that are near the objective lol

If you were Blizzard and let what would come to be the ancestor of two of the most popular games ever slip through your fingers you'd be a bit bitter too.

I'm currently level 39. Looks like I have quite good luck, 7 legendary and 4 epic skins along with 3 legendary coins (1500) to spend, so far.
edit: And luckily, no duplicates!

Ugh man I love tanking on payload with Reinhardt, but for some reason I just cannot get his offense down at all. Any tips?
Also it really sucks when you're shielding a payload all the way to victory and like no one or just one guy on the team is taking advantage of the free cover to help push =\

It would be me accidentally shooting off needed ultimates right after respawning.
Haha just had the fastest game ever as Reaper. Won the game for my team in about a minute.

bad gameplay lol
I feel like this will die down in a month or two when the flavor of the month players move on to something else and the ones who stay have played enough to learn about proper team composition.
And me blowing myself up (and just myself) with D.Va's ult.

Making a whole team rage quit is funny but also sucks because you don't get yours victory you deserve that game. That happened to me on Gilberter tonight.

Yeah I can't count the number of times I've been flanked as Mercy and then intercepted by a roaming McCree on the way back. With Lucio, if I die, I'm just like lol speed boost fuk u m8 see you back at the fight.
