One huge mistake many Mercy players do is not remembering to use the blue buff beam. I always keep my beam on buff until the health starts dropping.

Just FYI, (In the UK at least) that refers to people with mental disabilities, rather than a racial thing.
Similarly, I've seen some people be proper dicks in this game but I just don't get it. It's not worth the effort. Someone insults me, I'll just leave after the game is done and never have to deal with them ever again. I'm certainly not going to remember who they were.
Weirdly enough we did have an entire team rage-quit on us in a 6v6 on Route 66 because we got the cart to the second checkpoint in under 2 minutes. That was a weird game.
No, he can glide through it. If he triggers it he's stuck even using wraith form

I don't mind so trash talking s'long as it's not super disrespectful. It's part of mp games and some here and some there is not all that bad.
On topic, Overwatch is such a blast to play but I honestly think that not unlike Destiny it truly needs a team of 6 folks who are familiar with one another to get more out of it.
This isn't CoD or TDM but so many people play it this way, at least the randoms I've played alongside with on PSN.
For those folks who I've seen complain or voice irritation over certain characters (Bastion, Mei, Torbjorn are the few I see keep popping up over and over) just switch to their counter on the fly. I've seen some of my own friends keep trying over and over and get outmatched simply because they're to stubborn to change.
I wonder ir Symetra was a little more interesting and useful if her E skill was stronger (maybe 50 shield like in beta) but it used the same pool as her turrets. So you must chose, having all your soldiers with strong shields and only one turret. Or three turrets and three strong shields. Or leaving your friends in the wild but six annoying turrets of doom.
Just had a team try to go all mei while trying to cap the first point, punished the fuck out of them with Bastion. Then for round 2 they tried to go all Hanzo and got fucking murdered.
Seriously, screw that tactic. I honestly hope they limit it like a MOBA and only let one person play as a character. It totally throws off the flow of the game and isn't fun at all.
What is fun is when you work together as a team and steamroll them when it doesn't work

I haven't played with Mei myself yet but people who know her skill set can dominate defence objectives, her main freeze attack used with heal can nullify most attacks. If she has a turret or a bastion supporting her they can clean up. A lot of people I have seen use her seem to stay mid range and stick to the periphery as if she was Hanzo which makes no sense. That seems to be a recurring problem of people just not playing the role. Observing Tracers hang back is so frustrating.

Two per class max. Make it happen Blizzard.
Every team needs a Mercy so yes, the other favourite in that class is Lucio I think.
white, white, blue, white
2 dupes for a grand total of 35g
Are you guys really that big on single boxes? I've opened thousands of f2p progress packs in HS in the years I've played it. Same will happen with OW.

Good on you for taking them down, unfortunately I had to play against a good all tracer team last night and it was like my soul was snatched right out of me.
Absolutely perfect

Yeah. I was playing a team of Torbjorn's yesterday.. Honestly ridiculous. I'm pretty sure they were together (?) and without coordination there's nothing you can do. Walk round a corner with 3/4 upgraded turrets firing at you.
I wish Winston had a side dash, too. But I starting to get the feel for him!
How it feels to play Reinhardt.
This is spot on.

I like that there's a diversity of possible strategiesand fighting as or against a six Mei team is different than anything else in the game. It requires you to mix up your play and come up with counters on the spot. I think of them like gadget plays in American football - you can possiblycatch the other team off guard, or easily counter them if you're thinking on your feet.
Two per class seems the worst of both worlds where you don't allow the gimmicky setups but still have room for a centralized meta of double Winstons or Tracers or what have you.
Lol got gotd last night after a mei walled of her team on the streets of kings row exactly as irip tired and I see them turn to run only to see a giant ice wall blocking then and all of them trying to get to a corner as if they could get through it.
After the team wipe I just typed out "thanks for the wall assist"

LMAO! That is so good and damn true too. Love it.
That's what was throwing me off when I first played him. I'd always try to jump to the side or backwards. Once I trained myself to stop dong that, everything else started to click.

This game is so addictive, even with it looking like a SNES game on my GT 630M. It's gonna be a while until I upgrade, too.

Those awesome games where you get 3 gold and 2 silver medals. So glad this game has solid matchmaking and not server browsers.

Has anyone worked out if Overwatch has a pity timer on loot boxes yet? I don't believe Hearthstone had one at launch but would be good if OW did so I can go ahead and pull the trigger on those 50 boxes
Just encountered a botter in solo Q. Just has forward and spacebar bound and it automatically picks a hero. The opposing team got murdered for two rounds because of him, and then he was on my team so I left.
There is no vote to kick option, you can report and avoid but more players like this will effectively ruin a lot of the fun of going solo.

How are they doing? Weekly Brawl?
Junkrat is awesome. Blowing up the whole following of a shield equipped Reinhardt from behind is so satisfying. Also shooting grenades at the spawn exits when defending without being in the line of sight. So good

Custom games allow for no cooldowns
You're used to the bullshit. Some of us are not
There there, the pain will soon fade away and make room for apathy :3

Probably custom game with cooldowns set all the way down, since even in weekly brawl there's a few second delay between deflection

Finally got Yeti Hunter for Mei, it's on
Get near, RMB, dash, melee. If he dares to shoot, deflect. Otherwise repeat RMB, melee.

Didnt pay £30 to even play hs did ya though
Thing is most Bastions aren't fast enough to realize that Genji is killing them with their own bullets I guess.
