Is it just me or does Zarya's beam not match the reticule at all? Is it supposed to be like that?

Zenyatta just needs his movement speed upped a little. Sometimes it's a slog to get back to the point from the spawn with his current slug crawl.
MMR most likely works into average of the whole team, there is no way complaints would be that high from matchmaking otherwise and you would be getting people not playing the objective maybe 10-25% of the time rather than 50% of the time.
The biggest thing I hate about playing Zen is trying to get your damn team together to do a Transcendence push. I tell my team my ult is ready and try to get them to group up, but what usually happens is either people ignore me or they don't push at all. I often end up using it defensively which sucks when I'd prefer to use it to push through a choke point.

Damn, just got my first legendary skin: for Symmetra one of the few characters I don't use often. Oh well, it's an incentive.
yes it is
I want hero stacking! Opens up more strategies and yes, lots of cheese. Gotta learn to cope with this stuff on-the-fly.

Why even join a party without a mic? Are some people just that shy?

There's no way to get Noire Widowmaker skin anymore right? I been thinking of buying the game forever, but I'd feel incomplete without it for some reason. lol

It grows depending on how much energy you have absorbed through the shields.

English isn't my native language, so that's why I do it personally.
You can buy the code separately.
Yeah this was my first legendary too but I play her pretty often (on defense when its not KOTH)!
Keep getting lots of koth maps though which makes me sad. I did make her kinda work on one before
To an extent Sty should just switch himself. Sometimes I even switch to make a double if I think a player on our team who should be effective in a situation isn't. Sometimes I see we have a Pharah and also see that it would be effective to have one, yet we are making no progress, so I switch and do things myself and switch back out. But typically if the team is that bad they can't take advantage of your plays.
I had some salty guy this morning hounding me because I was giving his team trouble with McCree while most of my team was melting over and over and he said I should be good enough to carry 5 other characters. Lol.
honestly you probably wont ever use your Origins skins. Granted, it does look really good but I wouldn't go too far out of my way to acquire. You'll thank me later once you start

That's where I got the 30 kills too, lol.

I love how much scum I feel like with playing as Junkrat. Just fucking raining down grenades on people trying to protect their point from a place they can't punish me at.
Too Good.
Too Good.

Yea, I also want to know more about D.Va, Reaper and Mercy.
Except the trailers and the comics there are no other way to get some lore ? Well there is the game but except a few posters there is not much :/

Ordinarily I won't whine when my team plays poorly, but I just saw two people run into Hanzo's ultimate. Could've stopped pressing forward for 2 seconds and survived. Nah, run into the giant dragon attack.

Do you know if Blizzard will make other cinematic trailers for Overwatch ? I kinda like them and I'd like to know more about the characters. Well I'm aware that it's not the main focus for the players (like in fighting games) but I always like to know more about the lore
Yes. The Soldier Cinematic was the end of season one according to Blizzard. There will be more seasons.
I know that Blizzard had created a blog that has Mei uploading her stories about how she's adjusting to all the changes in the past 30-odd years since she's been on ice. (I think it's 30? I'm not sure how long she's been out.) It hasn't been updated for a while, but it was a neat way to see the world of Overwatch through the perspective of one of the heroes from the game.
And D.Va would be a good choice of subject for a future short. Given how she's a very proud individual (especially in her piloting), and comes across to others as a hodgepodge of aggressiveness & confidence in battle, it would be the easiest way to get the NGA references out of the way. We also haven't seen too much of how it's like back in her home in Korea, so it's another avenue to see another part of the world of Overwatch.

Wait, is being added onto a team right as they're about to lose an example of the forced 50/50 thing people are talking about?

There is no forced 50/50. Got unlucky on the backfill though. They said they're working on that aspect to happen less.
Plus when that happens you don't get a loss counted.
No, that's free experience because the loss won't count. An example of that would be when only a single member is swapped between teams after a complete steamroll.
I mean obviously it looks at the whole team's mmr but it probably looks at a particular range, that wides as time passes, of mmrs to make the teams in the first place.

No, that's got nothing to do with it. And I'm pretty sure that loss doesn't count.
If you say so.
There's a loooooooooot of statistics showing otherwise.

If you get matched up with people of your skill level consistently, your win percentage will drift to 50%. Above average players will drift above 50 and then back down, while below average will drift below 50 and come back up. That's just due to getting matched with people of your skill level.
On another note: just got my second legendary at level 28. Roadhog's Islander skin. Pretty sick!

This inspires me for my own Genji. Thanks!

There is 0.
What statistics could possibly show this? The way mmr works wins will obviously trend towards 50%, but that doesn't mean the system is intentionally giving you bad teams to make you lose.

The devs have confirmed it. What do they have to gain from lying, or even having a system like that?
And any good MMR system is going to have you naturally gravitate towards a 50% win rate. That doesn't mean you're being forced there.

Someone at Blizzard is trolling the shit out of me. They keep giving me Roadhog skins. I have both his epics and one of each style of Legendary. I have no epics for any other class. Please stop Blizzard.
You, sir, got some mad self control. Those lootboxes are screaming to get opened. :>

I tried saving up 10, from level 1-11 after hitting my first *. I got to 6 before opening them. But I also opened a double legendary box and like 3-4 epics. Pretty good haul.

Holy shit at that 17 ms ping. I have nearly ten times that latency.
Good lord. No.
Within a few meter's range it'll hit below and to the right of the reticule. I suggest you go into the practice stage and check it out.
It's a bit annoying since the feedback for hitting people with the beam isn't the greatest.

Any other weapons with tilts like that?
Hanamura is one of the fastest maps to win on as attack actually.
I can guarantee that if you manage a team kill or close on first point (usually happens in this game mode) and then make half of your team move to point 2 while the you and 2 others are capturing point 1, followed by you joining the rest at point 2 then you have a very very high chance of winning.
I've won attack Hanamura under 2 minutes multiple times.

His basic movement speed is the same as everyone's but Genji and Tracer. He just doesn't have any movement/evasive abilities.
It's because the beam comes out of the gun, not the centre of the screen.
Happens in all games where the bullet comes out of the gun, when you get close to a wall the difference is observed, some games get around this by having the bullet comes from centre of screen, some do it by inaccurately scaling the weapon size against the wall (hard to explain).
