1) Yeah, the plan is to add more heroes and maps (for free!)
2) Coordination among your team is a big plus in this game. If it's two uncoordinated teams against each other, then it's certainly possible to carry your team. But if you're facing a well-coordinated team, then the chances aren't good.
I'm level 20 and have only played public games. The extent of coordination I use is essentially just looking at the heroes my teammates have picked, and try to use someone who complements their heroes. I'm definitely looking forward to playing with others for that next level of strategy and coordination.
"No! No! N-O! No!" or something like that.
I used to think it was contextual based on whether or not he was teamed up with Talon agents, but I noticed he only does it on Numbani and the other day I heard him do it when there was no one on a team he should have had a bad history with.

Yeah, this is what I was talking about. I think he's, hands down, top 3 in the game kit-wise. He's just too effective in so many situations. Group speed buff, great damage on a burst with no (at least, I think no) dropoff, physical displacement skills and a massive overheal ultimate.
I was nice to her and let her complain to me about her relationship so she owes it to me to fuck me. Die die die.
Lucio is so tanky with his constant healing and boost.
Thank you! I clearly had no idea he could do that which is why I've been surprised at his health when exiting WF so many times.

Just got a warning I'll get penalized if I quit early again. Well, cool but maybe don't automatically kick me 20 times while I'm stuck on the loading screen. This never happened during the beta. It's especially grating since I've never quit a game of my own volition so far.

I personally dont think he should be able to heal himself.
Yep. Had alot of fun playing that one. Female heroes only brawl would be cool too.

He would be useless without that tho as he would constantly have to move away from his teammates to heal so would end up spending more time finding health packs than anything else

Makes me wish I didn't get one on my very first box.
Widowmaker Odette... Not my cup of tea to run around in ballerina lingerie. Cool design but on top of that I'm on console so sniping isn't exactly a fun time. I think I have two minutes played with her.
Hoping I get Lucio hockey skin next.

Yeah, my Pharah game would be pretty dominant without any Soldiers, Bastions, and Torbjorn turrets to worry about. Only real lady counter to her is Widowmaker, so just keep an eye out for snipers and everything would be gravy.

I revived someone in front of a self-destructing D.Va mech one time. Thankfully, I was late on the revive and they invulned their way through. <.<

bad gameplay lol
Mercy's "Battle Angel" is the coolest goddamn highlight intro in the game. Too bad it's damn near impossible to get POTG with her.

I still don't get why this game can't show all stats at end. Show everything, healing, dmg done, eliminations and deaths. Then highlight who did the best in each category. This is a competitive shooter, not a baby game.
If I'm playing with a genji who gets 4 eliminations and 20 deaths, I wanna know. If I'm playing with a mercy who only healed for 500 points, I wanna know. These are my teammates, I should know how well they're doing, then be able to decide if I want to keep playing with them. Same with them seeing my stats.

His hook - shotgun kill can be annoying at times. If you drag them through any sort of incline then the hooked target does not consistently end up in the same place in front of you (often causing you to drop the kill) and if they are tracer or some other fast, jumping, or dashing character the hook can often cause the hook to drag them to some weird situations.
I've had tracer hooked only for the hook to drag her behind me, or to the side of me. Very annoying.

He has speed boost, get in and out quickly. He is widely considered S tier right now, and way too tanky for a healer.
There is a few balance changes that I think needs to be worked on
Mcree - Flashbang + Hammer is instakill, and even takes out tanks. (Dev already hinted at nerf)
D.Va - Critical hit box way too big. (Also hinted at being fixed)
Mei - She has too much escapability. Can freeze heal, then wall block once she is out to run away.
Lucio - Too tanky for a healer making him way too hard to remove on top of his great mobility. He also shouldnt be able to wall ride the pay load.
There is probably some others, but i think those are the 4 adjustments that needs to be made the most.

Was Eurogamer's interview with Kaplan posted?
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-07-overwatch-blizzard-answers-the-big-questions
Talks about competitive mode, balance, future plans... and tick rate.

I'd guess its just that its cause of the omnics having a safe haven there. Does Torbjorn have a history with doom fist?

Eh. Even if we lose, but the games are competitive, that's fine. I just don't want to play with someone who is clearly holding the team back. It'll probably be me sometimes to, and that's fine.
Played around with my mouse settings as per the advice here from yesterday. Hard to tell if it's making a difference just yet but I hope it helps (turned off mouse acceleration especially).
Also playing around with the crosshairs. I realized that seeing the recoil/spread of s76 isn't really useful and just takes up screen space. Trying out just a dot for most characters now.

Only other thing I can think of is Widow's scope charge time. Its kind of crazy it only takes a second.
I've been getting DC's at the start of every match I tried to play today. Dunno what's up.

In the interview they also detail that a fan the hammer nerf for McCree is currently within a patch that's passing through cert on consoles.
So it won't be long until McCree's fan the hammer is quite a bit weaker.

I find this one very useful, especially at range.
Does the dot still give you the "tink" sound for headshots? And doesn't it takes away, e.g., Zarya's charge meter?
Yeah, but if Overwatch balance patches regularly hinge on slow-ass console certification, I'm going to be annoyed.
Great group I found, but it was so late wasn't at my best performance, we won a majority of our matches and fought some decent people here and there.
After a while though you notice a pattern of Ultimate and Mercy revive wars on contest. They really need more diversity in the modes.

Only thing I see scheduled is a maintenance window for WoW. Just logged in at work (oh the joys of working in game dev) and things look fine.

Agreed.
In many ways this game is so casual it hurts.
A scoreboard and assist system that tells everyone they're a winner, a skill based system that drags everyone to a 50% win rate regardless of how good or bad they are, various characters that you do not need to aim to play. Asynchronous gametypes where you can play two rounds and have no clear conclusion on which team is the better team?
One of my buddies has a broken controller (it cannot aim without stuttering) and still plays this game effectively because half of the cast do not require you to aim well to perform well (Winston, Symettra, Reinheart, Torbjorn, Lucio, Mercy, etc.). Others like McCree and Reaper have near flat learning curves.
But I guess it's these reasons (like the way the scoreboard doesn't tell you you did crap relative to the rest of your team) that this game appeals to people in the first place.

They're not going to get a ton of high bandwidth testing happening as long as it is private match only and people don't realize that they want it tested. It's my understanding that it is quite buggy resulting in a lot of crashing at the moment so people just don't deal with it. However, if the community realized that they need feedback, I'm sure more would be willing to tough it out to potentially get the client update rate increased in all modes.

You don't get a loss and that's just the unfortunate reality of rage quitting. People don't tend to quit if they are on the verge of winning.
