Went against a group of 4 Tracers and two Widows last night.
It did not go like I assume that they thought it would.
Mildly irritating for the first minute but after they they were swatted.

Anubis, Volskaya, and Hanamura point A all suffer from funneling offense through a single chokepoint until they break through, at which point the objective area is so wide open that it's incredibly difficult for defense to hold it. Volskaya at the very least has an alternate route for mobile classes, but still revolves around one chokepoint for everyone else.

It requires some coordination, of course, but if the Pharah flies through there (or even Genji) while the rest of the team pushes through the gate, it usually works. The point B is bullshit though, like the usual turret counters can't do much there, except for D.Va's ultimate maybe, but even then I think a Molten Core'd Torbjorn's turret can tank it?
That being said, as hard as it is to capture those points, I am glad they exist. The game already favors offense, so throwing a bone to defense at times can't be a bad thing.

500 coins is good cause you're going to be able to buy the skin or emote/intro you want rather than relying on luck.

Got 2 Legendary skins from 1 levelbox. Feels good.
Sadly Woodbot for Bastion and Koa (?) for Roadhog.

First game of the day. Defend Gibraltar. Played as Winston. RIP other team. they weren't ready for the big guy. they had Mccree, Rein, Lucio, Tracer, Genji, and i think Widow and Winston.
Our team was Winston (me), Zenyatta, Bastion, Hanzo and 2 others.
was kicking butt at the beginning so much i let the payload reach the first checkpoint lol. after that i focused on defending it. took my time. didn't want to jump in and die. was just killing time and spreading them out. they managed to get the second but got stuck half way to the next.
first game was a success. now afraid to play another one to just keep losing. lol

Would rather get the legendary skin and save myself 500 coins. At least it was no duplicate I guess.
Getting 2 from one chest is the dream. ;_;
Eh Woodbot is one of the lesser Bastion skins, but I actually enjoy that Roadhog one.

I got two legendaries on a box once, sadly one of them was a D.Va skin (B.Va) and I don't really play her much.
On the subject, for a couple characters I like epic skins more than legendaries ._.
Her kit is fun but I find the character kinda cringey

Woodbot is my favorite Bastion skin :c
Eh I prefer Gearbot or Antique.

Later he clarifies that widowmaker and mccree are part of the minor balance patch.
Nice. Now if they give Zenny and Mercy a bit of survivability I will be pretty happy.
Question about game sharing on PS4, I bought the digital version of Overwatch but I don't play it from the account I bought it on, from what I understand, if I give the account I bought the with to someone, he can play it on his PS4 but only from that account. My question is, can we both play at the same time?

came in like a wrecking ball with Winston. totally stalled time. they had 2 reapers. why they so easy to take out winston.

Just Zenyatta, Mercy's not nearly as bad as him.

What survivability does Mercy need?
She comes with an auto-escape button and a self-heal.
Mercy has great mobility, she's good.

I would really like to urge Blizzard to implement cross platform stats and achievements between Xbox One and PC for people who bought the game on both platforms. Especially with all the focus that Microsoft is putting on cross-platform and sharing. Blizzard doesn't need to implement PC to Xbox or PC to PS4 gameplay, just stat and achievement sharing.

Mercy doesn't lack survive-ability though.

Also, pocket mercys.
Yuuuuup. He is really good but that pocket just makes him looks like Jesus incarnate.

It would be nice to see a player who doesn't have an IV attached and is also really good.

saw him play during the gosugamer stream. without a pocket mercy and really good people. he's okay ;P
first loss of the day defending anubis. with 44 seconds left they had a good push.

I got 19 once on her. I still don't have that spray.
DAE SEAGULL AND POCKET HEALER LOL?!
Get over it, he wrecks without the healer but everyone has to bring it up every single time like its something that actually matters.
Well. I've only been able to play a few hours so far. I like it. It's hard with randoms, as is expected. But it's really fun. I'm glad these types of variety shooters are becoming more popular. Zenyatta probably my favorite character, despite him not being as good as I'd like. Really, I think he only needs one more utility to allow him to survive a little but more. More health, maybe. More mobility, maybe. A self-heal, maybe. Not something big, just something. But I like his buff-debuff style.

He's still good solo but the IV allows him to be bolder and get away with more

Is he a relative of yours or something? Or are you just an obnoxious salty fanboy?
Gotta have that pocket Mercy brah
Sometimes I pull a legendary skin and go "you know I think I'd rather have the 500 coins".
Sure but someone needs to bring up the point every single time. Anyone who watches knows he has a healer.
Nah, someone annoyed by stupid comments like this one. Considering you flip out anytime someone says a word about Symmetra, you're one to talk.
I want leaver penalty to be massively massively massively increased, specially if you are in a group and leave together. There should be no leniency on fucking over a bunch of other people. -75% isn't good enough, it should be -90% and it should be 1 drop for every 50 games before it kicks in, cause this is ridiculous how often people leave or how many times I have to get put into some shitty already lost cause game

Everyone is salty because they're stuck going support while seagull always gets to play Genji
