Yea, turn off automatic resolution scaling or set it to a flat 100%. If you don't it will automatically be supersampled anywhere from 120% to 150% of your monitor's resolution.
Yeah its the only game that makes my R9 390 go crazy. It doesn't do it all the time though, I can go a few days fine and then all of a sudden the fans will go nuts for no apparent reason.
Is there really aim assist on consoles? I haven't noticed any. Perhaps it's just not as heavy as it is in games like Destiny.

Winston's Ultimate is more crowd control then damage, though if you pin someone in the corner they can die pretty fast. Jump on the squishies, either kill them or prevent them from doing anything. The best part is knocking a Zenyatta away from his group during his Ultimate, into a pit.
Nope I'm with you. He looks bloody amazing. I got two of his legendaries so far. Sunyatta and Ra. Too bad I haven't found him fun to play tho :S maybe he will grow on me

So just salty messages in the match channel? Gotta love those. Also, I get super salty when someone is using 4 torbs to defend a point.
PSN message.
"I hope your mother beats you bloody"
I sent him a message saying I understood his pain. Anubis sucks for attackers lol.

Its great, but its the worst when you see everyone headed towards the objective which you think will be "THE" push....You activate the super, go HAM, get popped finally and realize your entire team is way back still trying to take pot shots in overtime.
Feels bad, man.
Feels like Winston's rage.

Ah, yes. Forgot that's how it works on PSN (playing on PC). Not gonna lie, I've been salty enough after a few matches to want to send hate mail, but I just passive-aggressively bitch in the match channel instead with things like "wow high skill" or "skilled play, flashbang+fth spam."
Salt is real.

She does better damage at range outside of her mech than she does in it.
Her line of fire is so straight and she shoots so fast that non-mech D.Va is like playing a beast of her own.
I got the Undying trophy because of this.
5 Hanzos and a Lucio IMO.
Hanzo or Widow > wallhack ability > dweet dweet dead

3 D.Vas and 3 Widowmakers.
This is probably the only thing I don't like about the game right now.
When I play with friends, it's easy enough to overcome lame group comps., but when I solo queue? It's a guaranteed loss.
They really need to implement a mode for stacks. Basically, if you solo queue you are guaranteed to match with teams that are stacked in the same way. So, 1 solo queue can match against a team that has 1 other person solo-queuing. If the other team has 5 people in a group, then you should be placed with a group that has 5 people in theirs. 2 goes with 2, 3 with 3, etc. It would *really* help.
Also have a mode that is guaranteed to be composed of all solo queuers.
I double dipped and I at least notice some, they orginally had the PC support it too if it recognized you had a controller but from what I heard there was some kind of bug that resulted in them removing it.

Seems easy enough to deal with: 3 Reinhardts trading off shielding with the rest of the team firing from behind. Hell, have a Zarya or two poke out from behind the shield long enough to charge up to max and then march forward and fry them all. Might not take them all out in one go, but it'll take a lot longer for them to get back to the same point than you.
EDIT: Yeah, or a bunch of Genjis, too.

5 bastions are too strong for a reinheart. Even multiple reinhearts. D.va is the more logical solution. Get behind defense matrix with 3 d.va and 3 widow, then boost and push out on the remaining 2 bastions.
Genji only works if the enemy bastions have no self-restraint. That is generally a poor assumption.
So many people don't concentrate on the objective, whatever it is.
That would be a welcome addition.

This worth a pick up? I'm hearing a ton of hype but it's gone under the radar for me bizarrely.

I kind of hate how Reinhardt is the only viable heavy option in the Payload matches because of his shields. I mean I guess you could try using Zarya, though I feel like she goes down way quicker than Reinhardt.
Had a team try something similar on Anubis with bastions + reinhardt. Went tracer and snuck around a side route with blinks to start capping the point. Once their formation broke to come deal with me it was over and the rest of my team smashed through them.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Can someone better explain D.Va's defense matrix to me? What is it doing? What is it effective against?

I played with a double Zarya pair last night. It was interesting. Whenever one got disabled, like by a McCree or a road hog, the other would bubble them and together they alternated lead and felt damn tough to beat.

Have blizzard let slip on their timeline for new maps or anything?
Eh, Zarya is more of a secondary tank in my mind. She's only beefy if you can time your barrier properly and the duration is so short that you can't take constant fire like you can with Reinhardt's shield.
I get what you're saying, but Reinhardt really is the best option for payload maps. Most of the enemies are coming from one direction and you've basically got 2500 health which no one else can say. Winston would be other good choice but his bubble isn't as good as the shield.

Only if you can catch her robot friend when she throws it, and it's pretty small target with a small window to react to, plus she can throw it pretty far.

After a spending the weekend playing my way to level 17, I've got a decent grip on the heroes, but I still get confused by some of the maps. Played both with and against some fellow GAF members, which is always fun even if we had a loss streak.
My favorite heroes of each class so far:
Pharah
Junkrat
Zarya
Lucio
Pharah and Junk play similarly to Soldier and Demoman from TF2, so that's probably why I was immediately more comfortable playing them.
My favorite class overall is defense; I often switch between Junk, Torb, Bastion, and Widow. I've also had success with Junk on offense so that's why he's my class favorite so far.

I think it just blocks everything in the square. It's good for example to use to approach a turret so that you are right on top of it without getting it and destroy it quickly when you attack
It should work exactly like Genji's reflect, if you're close enough to eat the projectile, you can cancel the whole thing.
I need to get better about using it to soak my "High Noon" bullet. I still run for cover by instinct. But activating defense matrix and flying straight at Archie is the better bet...

Think of it as a temporary Reinheart shield that nullifies all incoming damage of any kind for as long as it's up. It cannot be broken by enemy fire. Teammates who know stand behind defensive matrix and deal damage to root out strong enemy encampments. Requires some coordination.
To everyone here who tells people what to play: don't tell individuals to change. Finesse and articulate your question for the group to help the team come together.
I get its frustrating but don't be the main dps telling others to play tank and healer. If you change yourself as well you will get better responses. I never ever listen to anyone in mobas as a support. The adcs are always asking for specific champions and I always just mute and possibly tilted if they are rude/toxic enough. In my eyes I'm doing the job others don't want to do and I will do it my way; I'm not playing the game for your sake. But if they articulate a reason outside it's what they like I'm more likely to help them out.
Just how I've always felt as a support main. It translates well to overwatch.

If they have a Mercy and a Reinhardt, + even distribution of dps/tanks, you're probably facing a premade, or at worst, people who know how to play the game.

Nullifying all incoming projectiles in a frontal cone for a short time. Anything that's a projectile or hitscan, basically. Rocket barrage, bastion, thrown junkrat mine I think. Beam weapons go through. Melee goes through. Uncertain about Zarya, mei, and Hanzo ults but suspect they get eaten too.
Yeah, that's basically it. I respect the skill of the opposing team when mine gets wrecked, but it really sucks the fun out of the game. Constantly being in firefights against 3 or more people because all my team mates are dead is painful.
Junkrat is so fun. I love that he can lay down suppression fire to push defenses back.
