So what heroes will y'all NOT play? I always switch according to the situation, but there are certain heroes I never, ever play.

Widowmaker: I feel like if you aren't great with her, she is useless. I suck at sniping, so I never do this to my team.

Bastion: Because I refuse to be a turret. I find him boring. He's my one petulant "nope you can't make me do it" hero.

That's about it. I'll only go Torb if we are defending certain points and no one else picks him, but that rarely happens.

 

[CrayToes]

Yeah, I struggle playing this game with randoms more than any other in recent memory. Having a team full of Reapers, Genjis and Hanzos is painful.

It's so irritating that bastion can stay unmoved by a winston primal rage

like not even unhinging himself after 3 or 4 hits but straight up can't be moved....amazing just amazing

Yeah I absolutely hate that shit. As Winston I pretty much avoid turret Bastion at all costs unless I know he's weak or is focusing on a teammate on the opposite side

The other problem you get is a Symmetra with no secondary support to keep your team in the fight, because she satisfies the "no support" condition.

This is consistently a problem I face. People don't get that Symmetra is a completely different beast from Lucio, Mercy, or even Zenyatta and figure that means no one needs to swap to a hero that can actually keep the team healthy.

I'd add another tool-tip that suggests 'no team healing'. Because I mean, if we have one for 'no snipers', a specific niche inside defense already...

It's not what classes they pick, it's what classes they DON'T pick. Since I got to level 40, and I'm in the 50's now, randoms refuse to pick tanks. Like, why do they hate tanks? I'm constantly getting rolled by a team with Zarya, Reinhardt, and Mercy because our team is a random assortment of everybody who isn't a tank.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

That sinking feeling when you realize you're the best person on your team...and you know you're about to lose

And then everyone votes for you in agreement and shame.

My current D.vawatch stats. I dropped down to #4 D.Va on PS4, and I don't think I'll be able to reclaim the #1 spot... =(

37 hours on one character

and its the worst character

ya'll D.Va avatar people are something else I swear

 

[JehutyRunner]

Had an insanely close match on Overwatch a while ago. Like, I can't find the right words for it other than it was pure drama and it was straight. up. insane. Like, super fucking close.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEvay7FyRjU

Wow. Honestly the best match I've played on Overwatch to date.

 

[selfnoise]

Honestly "team healing" is actually a much more consistent need in matches than "sniper".

 

[KLoWn]

I asked earlier but I don't think I got an answer. Does anyone know why it's not possible to spectate a friends game anymore? It worked during the beta.

 

[_DrMario_]

I swear to fucking god people are getting worst at this game with time. I'm going to start leaving games, fuck this.

 

[Xevren]

My struggle? I can't remember a game where I didn't play support. I just don't like seeing teams without one and it drives me nuts. I got to play one for the last 30 seconds of a match though!

Probably just Widowmaker, I've never been a good sniper, and I can't imagine I'll get any better playing now...

Wasn't having an issue playing randoms last week, but it's been killing me over the weekend.

Zarya for me. Im so bad at her, feels like I'm doing zero damage. She's also so slow to get into battle

 

[Dubz]

So I just got 2 rares and a legendary skin in one loot box from leveling. Thank you, Blizzard.

 

[Wanderer5]

Had like a 2:14 attack payload match on that watchpoint level lol, and then put up some great defense on the same map. Me love some Pharah and Symmetra.<3

I haven't played Genji yet since release.

Idk why, but I like guns

Also Symmetra and Zenyatta are too hard for me, and Widowmaker is useless if she isn't a good shot, which I am not.

I'm garbage with Hanzo so I don't play him very much. Other than that, I don't love Winston or Zenyatta but will play with them every once in a while.

[motorised mallard]

She is a bit slow to get going but once you get your energy high you really start to melt people. And the ulti is priceless.

 

[Empty Space]

I reached a point where I was so tired of having to play the same four characters since people seem to never want to tank or support that I just started saying fuck it and doing whatever I wanted. As it turns out when you don't have a support or tank everyone on your team generally gets picked off really quickly and that's no fun either.

 

[Enilced2]

Found some of the chibis

Wicked! Thanks!

 

[Tabby]

Mystery Window on King's Row

Literally unplayable.

 

[R0ckman]

Would it be broken for Winston to take half as much damage in his sheild? I play him a lot and can only use it to prevent my self from dying before getting another leap off cool down. It just feels a bit lame that a character can just derp into the sheild on top of destroying it in 5 seconds.

 

[wamberz1]

Yeah I absolutely hate that shit. As Winston I pretty much avoid turret Bastion at all costs unless I know he's weak or is focusing on a teammate on the opposite side

The worst matchup in the game imo. A decent bastion will win 100% of the time.

I'm really shitty with Reinhardt so I just play other tanks instead.

I've never used Bastion or Torb but I usually play with friends so I've never really needed to. I'm willing to play just about anyone else though.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I'm so happy I finally understand how to use genji! He's so much fun now!

 

[Haly]

Widowmaker, Hanzo, Zenyatta, Reinhardt, Winston, Soldier 76

I'm just really bad at these guys with the exception of 76 who I don't play on principle.

Too many Genji and Reaper players out there, I've never picked them. Played Bastion once, didn't like him at all, won't pick again.

All subject to change.

 

[Apathy]

This game needs to 100% stop putting me in losing games, because they are being counted towards my losses and I don't get shit for them when it puts me in between poitns of a koh map. I don't want to be put in them, I want fresh games. All day, I have not been able to get into a fresh game, just loss after lost after loss

So far:
Torb. I've never liked planting sentries.
Junkrat: Too much spray (or should I say.. lob) 'n pray
Symmetra: Seems weak. People never remember to use TP's thus rendering them pointless.

Surprisingly I DO play Winston, even though his primary fire seems weak as hell, his jump never seems to land on anyone or do any AOE damage, and his Ult still seems weak.. but I have an urge to 'understand' his play style.

 

[rdytoroll]

I have to say that I haven't played her much yet though. So your beam gets stronger the longer you shoot, right? What's that number unter the reticle showing me? The amount of energy?

I will never play Mei in a game of Overwatch. As far as I'm concerned, I have played all of the game's 20 available heroes.

Also not wild about using Reinhardt or Roadhog, but I respect them as individuals.

Pretty much most of the tanks. I gained bit of a liking for D.Va but it is just really hard for me to do the tank role and do it well. Also not too fond of offense heroes beside Pharah and Reaper, Bastion for defense, and Zenyatta for support either.

 

[Spinifex]

That moment when you finally 'get' a character is amazing.

Just recently 'got' Zarya and Lucio and love them both.

But he's actually really fun. Can't you make an exception?

 

[Speely]

I'm so happy I finally understand how to use genji! He's so much fun now!

He's a beast! Easily my new fav hero. Grats on it clicking for you. Took forever for me (and still is hehe.)

 

[Bumbletron]

Lucky Americans get to play all day today, here I am at work with not another long weekend to be seen till July.

I'm at work today too, buddy. I'm going through withdrawals already.

 

[Moonlight]

So what heroes will y'all NOT play? I always switch according to the situation, but there are certain heroes I never, ever play.

Widowmaker, Reaper, Soldier 76, Bastion.

Either I'm hilariously awful with them or I just won't play them on principle. Was about to include Genji, but he actually is a hero I'd like to try one day. Just... some day.

EDIT: I never got why people say Winston's primary is weak as hell. It's not going to melt anyone, sure, but in terms of spread it's the closest thing this game has to a flamethrower. You'll destroy important backline squishies like Mercy and mess up anyone standing close to her too. Triple eliminations are not rare with Winston.

 

[rdytoroll]

I will never play Mei in a game of Overwatch. As far as I'm concerned, I have played all of the game's heroes.

Blasphemy.

Are you afraid to find out that she isn't overpowered?

 

[Ken]

winston cause i think his character is dumb

 

[Hyun Sai]

For what it's worth, the number one Overwatch player in the leaderboards got a 48% win rate, and is playing mostly Mercy.

82 hours played though, what the fuck...

 

[Shake Appeal]

I don't think she's overpowered; if anything, she's underpowered.

But she's despicable.
