I've basically been using all my free time to play Overwatch since I got it last week and I'm only level 35. I can't imagine how much people are playing that are already in the hundreds.

Thank you for your thoughts. I play Zenyatta for a change of pace from Lucio and Mercy, with Lucio being the character that I have the most time on. I find Zenyatta to be a lot of fun simply because he's more challenging but can really be rewarding when you push a point with his ult and then get kills in quick succession with discord while keeping a teammate healed. A good Widow makes life difficult but then again, if you have a decent team that's helping you out then Zenyatta can play a role that no other support can play because his dps is strong and so is his discord debuff. No one can melt an opposing tank as consistently as Zenyatta.
As I said before, I would really like to see his heal tweaked to be a little stronger or maybe for the orb to last longer once you loose LoS. A mobility buff would also be welcome but I think if you are playing him as he his meant to be played then his ult comes up fast enough. Quicker would be nice but might be overpowered.
How was he changed from beta? I hear he got the nerf bat pretty strongly but I don't know the details on that.
Yep, my most played character. I like him a lot.
Whenever I see an enemy Lucio I usually just "nope" it out of there. It's generally not worth the effort to try and kill him if it means leaving my team or singling myself out unless he is super low health.
I can agree with this. Bastion is so easy to get multi-kills and huge damage numbers with on a per game basis compared to some of the other characters. It's like his design philosophy does not match up with characters like Tracer, Zarya or Genji where you really have to know your stuff and have excellent reactions to be effective.
I can already see that changing a little bit thought as people are figuring out how to deal with Bastion in turret form. My new favorite method is using Rein on offense and waiting until he's shooting at someone else and hitting him with Rein's charge move. It's very satisfying to pancake a turret form Bastion.

I'd wait a few minutes. Probably went through but might take a while to take considering it's undergoing maintenance. If not, call Sony.

That wouldn't work as well. The differences in Overwatch economy (read: there isn't one) and FFXIV or WoW are too numerous to count.
For an example, and I highly suspect that this is their train of thought -- giving you currency, even 1 per day, can dissuade you from buying your sprayboxes because everything is so "Cheap." In fact, the currency is deflated enough that each singular currency point is worth much more that it looks like on the tin.
If they were going to go that route, they might want to do 5 or 10 per day, but again, why would they? Purchasing boxes is what they designed the system around, and the horse keeps coughing up money when you kick it. We're the horse. They don't want us to work gradually toward getting something, they want us to buy loot boxes.
Contrast this with FFXIV, which uses gil(now, anyway) for teleportation, for consumables, for repairs, and all sorts of other things under the sun. It has currency sinks. Overwatch has currency sinks in the vein of ...sprays. But let's be honest, nobody actually WANTS sprays when it precludes you from getting other things, like skins, or highlight intros, or emotes, or even voice lines. The sprays and player icons serve as a buffer to keep you playing and keep you buying boxes for more chances at that sweet, sweet legendary you have your eyes on.
That's why Jim Fucking Sterling, Son dislikes microtransactions -- it's not that they exist, it's that the game is always built around microtransactions, and not the other way around.

Anyone having issues with the servers on PC today? I've had two matches hang, then disconnect, then matchmaking was unavailable for a few minutes afterwards. My connection is fine, was able to do everything else.
made it to 57% winrate
forced 50 cant keep me down
We are brothers you and I.
Zenyatta with armour, and shields too, is a beast. Torbs and Symmetras are very welcome to me as a Zen main.
This was posted in the fanart thread by EdibleKnife, but it's so good it has to be shared here:

there's an ED too, but the opening is next level.

This is definitely not true. Here's a video disproving. I'm not exactly sure the mechanics behind the hook, but my current line of thinking is that it's a combination of a very fast moving projectile and a giant hitbox.
It's definitely something weird. I've both been pulled through walls by the hook and pulled into a wall by the hook but not through it.
Actually, I was thinking something like that. Maybe 50 xp if you vote for something that is not you. 500 if you get 5 votes. (1500 if you get 10)
That opening and song was cool, good stuff.

I just cracked 38 or so, and I'm actually pulling back on the amount of time I spend with it so I can finish other games.
There just isn't enough time in the day for me to get all the OW time I want in!
Maybe you didn't need shields
that was well done.

How is it you guys team killed the other team, but Widowmaker was the only one left? You guys get a team kill from the grave?
But I did need shields... I really did...
This isn't the first time this has happened though. I think some people might think her shields function like Zarya's when they first start using her.
Yep, that is amazingly good. And hilariously, Bastion only gets 1 or 2 seconds of total screen time. Even the Japanese know what's up. =P
I've killed my fair share with Junkrat's passive that he drops bombs on death. I have seen this before where its Overtime and there's 1 or 2 players left and 1 widowmaker on the team and they just continue to snipe not caring about the objective.
I've seen so many Symmetras just straight up ignore or forget the fact that they can give everyone on their team an extra 25 health. It's super annoying. That and forgetting to re-up shields on people that respawn.

Do you always stand in their face and spam the voice line?
That could be part of the problem. I guarantee you there is a type of person out there who will not give you shields specifically because you're asking for them.
Oh no, of course not. But this particular person didn't seem to be giving anyone shields.
If I see a Symmetra ally when setting up on defense, I'll try to stand in their eye line and they'll usually do it. And most pop it during the run from spawn to objective.

Its just a funny coincidence that once i got to 57.7% win rate I started getting level 10-20 (barely started up the game) teammates and opponents level 70-90 (Gremlin D.Va personified). It really is just a stroke of bad luck I started getting more losses daily than wins compared to before when I never had a day with more losses than wins.
Now I'm back to 55.8% so I should get more competent teammates hopefully.

Are the stats bugged? There is no way I got 100% acc.
Inb4 he's roadhog.
but player level has nothing to do with skill, and if you're constantly winning then it means you need to be matched against better opponents which will naturally lead to more losses
No, because everything he shows in the video has to do with ping and latency.
the exact same results would occur with unlimited tickrate and 0 ms, it would just not 'look' as bullshit.
no let me stomp day 1 players pls
Zenyatta
Damn its good to be back on here. Never figured calling out a troll for a troll would be a two week ban
