Very late reply but you can definitely hear footsteps. I use headphones and you hear the enemy flanking if they don't crouch.

I just hopped into this yesterday, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I'm not really a shooter type of person, or a competitive gamer in general, but the game offers enough characters for me to have a good time. I've mostly messed around with Mercy, Junkrat and Symmetra, but I feel like I want to give all of them a try for at least an hour of in-game time eventually.
That said, for all the variation there is in the characters, I'm seeing a ton of repetition online in rosters. It feels like every match I play has multiple Widowmakers, Bastions, Reinhardts, Soldier 76s, and an unhealthy amount of Reapers. Maybe it's because I'm playing on the lower tiers still though. I hope that as I rank up, people will expand their options. As it stands, I kind of wish the game would just randomise the character you played as until you hit level 15.

1 in 25 IIRC
Seems like 10%.

Looks like I need to rebut this game on Xbox One to play with my Grill Friend.
Does Level/Data transfer over format PC to Consoles? If I'm level 25 on PC will I be Level 25 on Xbox?

My buddy usually plays Genji when we play, so I don't really pick him, but since he's not home tonight, I was able to play Genji for quite a few rounds. I'm definitely getting better with him, but I could definitely work on my aim in a close encounter. That goes for any character, really. I really like the two part sprays some characters have. My other friend plays Hanzo, and we always do the Yin Yang spray with Genji and Hanzo. That spray is the only thing I've bought with in-game currency so far.

Didn't know BBQ friend was a thing.
Are you loosing way too much these days? That may be your reason. Either put it on ice for couple of days or get reeally fucking intense during clutch moments (aka: go for the win) or just, you know, stop caring about wins. Easier said than done I know.
Friends to play with probably
Yep, this is the way D.Va is supposed to be used. To add to this, boosting into enemies is also a great way to cause confusion while both escaping and taking out the weak at once.
It does

IIRC, the actual percentage is lower than that, but if you don't get one in 24 crates, then the 25th is guaranteed to have one.
No, it's way less.
It does 50 damage iirc.
Man I love D.Va. She works so well on attack from my experience, because she can cause confusion in the backline and not give the enemy the time to get a good setup going.
No,I win the same as before. i got a 58% winrate.
It's more that I feel I personally lose, eventhough we might win the round.
I play/played with friends but even then I get angry and my friends don't really enjoy playing with me anymore.
I just don't know what happened.
I don't derive any joy out of any engagements in the game anymore.
I just sigh every time I die.
This happened to me after just two or three days!
Then I realised that multiplayer shooters have never been a genre that I particularly enjoy and that wasting €40 on one just because it was developed by Blizzard and had cool character designs was a really stupid thing to do.
The ult is too large and the duration is too long. If it affected turrets it would be able to take entire turret setups across the whole level.

I'll say that playing with friends is completely different from playing alone. I remember when the game first came out and I played with friends, I had fun no matter who I was playing or whether we were winning or losing. I remember lurking through the original OT and wondering why people kept getting mad at playing with randoms. I honestly couldn't understand why people posted about getting mad at randoms for not taking objectives or not picking certain heroes. I always just thought, "Eh, let them play who they want and just have fun."
And yeah, that totally changed when I decided to play alone one day. I actually got really annoyed with the randoms, so now I understand the frustration. But honestly, I just try to improve with the characters I like playing. If the randoms decide to ignore objectives, then fine, I'll just play for myself. I mean, I'm not good at the game, but I'm not gonna let people stop me from playing. So with that thought in mind I try not to get upset with random players anymore.

Yea, haha. That's exactly why I brought it up. People were discussing how go get rid of 6 turrets. Seemed like a pretty good solution if his ult was able to do that.
Maybe good that it isn't
Heeh, imagine if they patch the console version to make Hanzo THE hard counter to Tjorb stacking, that would be hilarious.

play with atleast 2 friends on your team. you can have a couple randoms on your team. if you have a good 3-4 man squad going then you can really do some damage and win a bunch of games. plus playing with friends yaknow lol
OKay I knew people were complaining about Hanzo's arrow hitboxes but this is... damn...

And yet you are still browsing the OT, Overwatch still has its grasp on you, that's how addicting it is.
While this does look bad, can you imagine hitting anybody with people constantly moving and the speed of the arrows if the hitbox was the same as a bullet, unless you're an expert at this game? i'm not so sure about that. Nobody would be playing Hanzo.

Maybe not the best place to ask but is Shadowplay (Nvidia, PC) always a piece of shit that doesn't work? Recently turned it on as a way to record plays and highlights from this game and as a better alternative to using the Xbox app Game DVR built into Windows 10 because I could tweak the settings more. I have a brilliant run as Zarya on Kings Row, 21 kills, no deaths, complete lockdown and think "yeah, that'd be good to record" so hit my record key and then go and check the folder where things should save and it's not there. This happened before where it recorded just a bunch of useless shit.
Never had an issue with the Game DVR though, even if I'm not super happy with the quality and options.

Lovely people.
Had this guy do nothing but insult my friend and call her a cunt over and over just because she's a high level. She never even insulted the guy once.
That's awful I hope the asshole gets banned. I don't understand how people can be such jerks to women playing games, it's honestly refreshing hearing a female voice for a change when playing, you don't go insulting them.
Shit like this is why my wife won't even play public matches online with me anymore.
Are there any good video tutorials out there for all the Overwatch characters? I was hoping to find a quick reference for characters I just don't understand, and plain text isn't helping me much. For instance, LurkerPrime's help with D.Va sounds great, but I can't put it into practice at all and I still just don't get the character

I love breaking a Defense's lines with D.Va. Pop matrix and boost past them, they usually all chase me towards their capture point while the rest of my team attacks them from behind and sweeps them up. Mostly...usually...when the randos are on point, at least.

Yeah, tons and tons and tons.
Just search for the character's name on Youtube and add guide to the end. Find your favourite youtuber. They're all alright.
It was posted earlier in the thread, but overlooked.
Everyone should watch this:

There's a channel called Overwatch Central that has some pretty good quick guides. Around 5 min each. I recommend them.
