Overwatch |OT2| A New Low in Unlocking and Microtransaction Systems

No shit, Pharah is just the easiest target.
I typed out a bunch, but checked the beginner guide in the first post and it listed everything I was going to suggest already. Whoops. One other thing is that there can be great synergy with certain ultimates, such as Zarya's ult, which traps people for a few seconds in a small area and Zenyatta's ult, which makes him invulnerable and heals everyone around him. Also, I suggest trying out each class at least once, so you at least gain a basic understanding of how each character works.
Yep, he's insanely good with her... and now he's got Roadhog selected while both teams still have McCrees.
The worst case of "lol randoms" I have seen was a game on Hollywood where the entire defense team was all zenyatta and a reaper.
I was playing with one friend and 4 randoms. What do they do? ALL PICK TANKS. We had two roadhogs, a winston, and a d.va. against an entire team of tank melters. They actually swapped to those as if it would help.
like what in the actual fuck.

I hope they can release more than one at once just because that'll cut down on everyone picking one new character just because they're new.

Not really a copout. If you rank heroes only by if they are the best at their general role then you rank heroes either usable or unusable it's very binary. Tiers don't apply if you look at it like that.
This is sadly going to happen, their dev/QA pipeline is likely not large enough to be able to afford the release of two characters at the same time and waste good PR and two chances of getting people playing again.
What they could and should do is introduce the character exclusively in a weekly brawl and release them afterwards, so that the novelty will be gone and people will get to know them beforehand too.

Nah. They should do one at a time for better marketing. But make it a steady stream of heroes.
They said somewhere that they want to improve it.
I went from a 44.6% to a proud 51.2% in the last few days. It can only go up from here lol
How many hours have you guys clocked already? I'm at 38 hours iirc, shit's addicting yo

Mine went down by 0.5%, how does this even make sense.
Anyway that highlight, from reaper+zarya+tracer ult

55.1 to 55.2% after tonight's games with EUgaf. We mostly won so that makes sense but dat .1% increase tho lol
what? we played the same fucking games?
wait you guys were already playing earlier when I joined tho. Clearly I was the difference maker, because clearly im the best and not trash
im trash

Killing a Reaper three times in one match with Mercy's secondary... fun times.
That was the winning moment. But how did yours go down? wtf

I dont understand at all, went from 56.2% to 55.7%, from level 66-69
Good point.
Right, there's marketing, but I was arguing for the health of the game, to be clear.
They have to be. POTG is the one feature where they really shit the bed, I think. It's basically been reduced to meme fodder, which is a ton of fun to be honest. It'd still be nice to have genuinely impressive moments highlighted where possible though.

I really feel like I'm getting the hang of Tracer more and more. I took on two Roadhogs and a Bastion all by myself. Kept moving and they couldn't catch me. I'm not that great with Tracer but I have my moments like those. Feels so good.

Yeah that proves so much.
Mine went from 59% down to 55% after I started being matched against entire teams of level 70+ people and one level 116 person. I was by far the lowest level (20) for several matches in a row, and lost most of them to a team of 2 healers and a great tank.
Dude's insane. I just wished he would stream more, can never catch a broadcast
Newb question:
I've been playing Overwatch with my daughter on the same ps4 we just trade off. Thinking about getting her her own ps4 and copy so we can play together. It would be on same network. She'd have her own psn account. Any issues with that? Kind of a newb question I know just have never games like that.
Thanks!

I play a lot of Junkrat as he's my favourite character but the splash radius and damage is so weak that I think I get around 1 kill every 3 matches from that ability. They were so much worse and annoying in CoD.
Yep, when you're in the flow playing Tracer can be so incredibly fun. Killing an enemy tank that could easily kill you is such a great feeling.
Unfortunately I have these moments than I realize that I'm not actually that good at the character. Sometimes I wonder whether my contribution actually meant anything.
It was more telling he didn't use her once in the next two rounds.

Pretty much why i shout rush whenever we get first point on these maps easily.
Games should only get more even, really feels like MMR is doing its job now, games are less stompy. Although defense on payload always seems to lose.
How come? I think it proves quite a bit. She's definitely a great hero.
I think the biggest problem is that people are not used to play non hit scan heros (and yeah, she's not amazing at every map, but is that really necessary?)

At that point you may as well just remove McCree.
Thanks! Yeah,I will do one or two matches against the AI with each character just to get a basic feel of what they can do and how they control.

45 I think. Lv. 61 so far. Game is lovely, tho I am getting tired of the increasingly toxicity already.
Also, completely unrelated, but just got a POTG with Torbjorn on Dorado (attack) with the 4 Molten Core kills achievement being unlocked. I love that midget.
That's fine! You would just send her an invite and the two of you would queue with four randoms, in Quick Play anyway.

Got my first legend skin for Reaper, plague doctor.
But it is, as stacking means Pharah loses her slot. Without the stack limitation, she's a specialized b tier pick. Limit scope to purely dps characters (mid ranged) and she's still overtaken by mccree and sorta tied with soldier. Wouldnt call that A-tier, not overall and not in her niche
Besides, a tier list based on limited stack rulesets means theyre even less applicable for us pubbies which is the main thing im interested in when i see data like this

It proves that a good player can make an average or terrible character look good.
But she's so great mang.
Make the flashbang daze people so they can move around but not attack, and make Fan the Hammer a skill with a 10 second cooldown. Make his roll not reload his weapon but maybe shorten the cooldown a bit.
That's not how it works, they pick it because it's good, or rather the best option in their mind.

So far I've gotten two legendary skins - and both of them for Hanzo who I rarely use. At least the Okami skin looks badass for whenever I attempt to use him.
It's amazing how few people actually try and push the payload a lot of the time. I'm almost always the one on the payload trying to move it when I'm on offense, and then when I'm on defense I'm the only one on it trying to move it back. I always end up on the team that has no idea what they're doing.

If it's a pub game you can easily win games with 3 Pharah as long as the other team do not counter properly which is not as true for comp games.
You mean all those people that didn't play TF2, Quake, Doom, Unreal Tournament? It has nothing to do with her rockets and everything that she's countered hard my people who can pick her out of the air of which there are many.
She's seemingly used only on certain checkpoints on certain maps in these comp games. Meanwhile both teams have a McCree for the entire map, and it sounds like this tournament is enforcing a no dupe hero rule.
