What do you guys expect from Overwatch in 2017?

How many new heroes to be released? New modes? New maps? Maybe SP campaign... since that was rumored too.

I honestly don't know what to expect, more than half year since release we got 2 new heroes, 3 new maps (one mini and one that is still not officially released) and no new modes (if i don't count 1v1 and 3v3).

So idk. really. I guess my biggest wish is new mode or two for 2017 and few new heroes/maps. SP expansion would be nice surprise and addition but i doubt that will happen.

Yeah that definitely doesn't have any opportunity of abusing it to get people you just don't like or popular streamers/players getting banned.

How are you gonna get 80% of your matched(non friend) teammates to strike you over 10 matches?

Especially if there's a limit, like everybody only has 5 strikes to give out over the course of the season.

There should be a way for players to get the message that they should play quick play and improve their skills for ranked if they want the mode to be taken seriously. There are just so many players that don't have even a basic team strategy or concept anything beyond shoot, die, run to the point, shoot, die.

As for torb and symmetra yes they are powerful but not when you just need to hold the very first point on kings road for a few minutes.

Not sure what I expect but the thing I want most is more tank and support heroes. Considering they fill more than half the team usually there should be more options, when you consider how much more choice there is for dps heroes.

More maps would also be nice, perhaps with different game types.

I honestly don't give a shit about a hypothetical sp campaign.

Reached level 13, but I have probably spent more time running from the spawn point than I have playing. I don't feel like I've learned anything that's viable against human opponents in quick match, but AI matches are always a stomp and so I don't think that's a good way to learn either. I might consider my purchase an appreciation of the designs and presentation, and be done. I haven't even run into shitty people on voice or anything, but it's not fun when you're not actually playing or getting a glimpse into how to be effective.

Read some of the overwatch guides out there on the internet. Learn which ones work well together and which ones counter other heroes. And try to focus on maybe learning one hero from each type at once.

Different game types to keep things fresh and more maps.

We only have
2CP
Escort
Hybrid
KOTH

But honestly im struggling at thinking what other modes they could add.
Maybe just a full on TDM with point based system???
Doesn't sound that great.

Regarding the generator, it's an ultimate. Since in many cases ultimates are used to counter or weaken ultimates, I fully expect ultimate use to kill that thing.

Get a Dva nuke, EMP, pulse bomb or something to kill it.

Every time I've seen a teammate use an ultimate to take it out it made our life easier and usually lead to a victory. Ultimate for ultimate and it's easily something that worth using an ult on.

Anyone else having awful server issues on Xbox? Every match almost it just drops us to title screen. Ranked, Meis snowball thing, whatever type of match.

They need to add a "sincere thanks" button that you can use when you lose a match because sometimes I want to thank my teammates for trying hard even if we didn't win, but using thanks makes you look salty. :p

I'm experimenting with McCree. I'm finding it kind of shocking how powerful his pistol is. It's not overpowered, but 3 hits and your down are easier to land than I thought. And fan the Hammer is still really good.

Only problem? Symmetra's ult utterly fucks him. Giving 200 HP heroes 75 points means that fan the hammer does 40 points too few to kill them. He's worthless as long as Sym has her ult up

Good players don't usually use FTH though. I think it's supposed to be shot > flash > headshot.

they should also give us an attack/defend the objective button too like the one PC has. I dont think the touch pad is used at all.

I'm sure many do, but I think that's a lot riskier on console than it is on PC. Even with a headshot, those shields require a second shot anyway.

I can agree with this, but like I mentioned a couple days ago in here, most every other ult in the game is also used and done with after a few seconds, regardless of how useful it was at the time or not. Shield generator right now is (I believe) the only thing that will literally just last as long as the other team allows it to exist. That still feels a little bit fucked to me.

Incidentally it's interesting hearing and seeing all the talk about 3 and 4 tank meta, meanwhile still down here in the fairly early realms of quick-play (I'm like...level 42 or so), it sometimes feels tough just to find any other teammates willing to pick tank at all. Reinhardt is easily my most-played hero now strictly out of necessity of nobody else selecting a tank. Guys pls, I want some variety in my life too.

That and despite all the playtime I'm still an extremely shitty Reinhardt.

Ok, real talk

Genji strike - 8 seconds (also has passive climb)
Hanzo - passive climb
Pharah jump jet - 10 seconds
Sombra translocator - 6 seconds
Junkrat mine - 8 seconds
DVa boosters - 5 seconds
Rein charge - 10 seconds
Winston jump pack - 6 seconds
Mercy guardian angel - 2 seconds
Widowmaker's slow ass grappling hook that she is literally dead without - 12 seconds

W h y. On top of her being literally dead if she doesn't have it available and gets flanked, it doesn't move her particularly quickly and it also fucks up regularly due to the way it targets things meaning that even if you fire it during a fight you can get fucked. There is literally no reason for her to have 12 seconds of cooldown on one of the worst movement abilities in the game.

I've seen people use "understood" after losing close matches, which I've taken as "we lost but thanks for playing well"

Could really use more lines on console though.

I just got the game and it's taking me over 4 mins average to get in a game.
Is this normal nowadays?
It wasn't that long when I played in the free weekends.

I've noticed it's slower when you're very low level. (At least it was for me on pc when I double dipped - much slower to find games than my higher level PS4 account).

There's no quick text chat on the consoles? I know it's not ideal but I'd imagine that you'll have time to type something up once the game ends. Even a quick ggs.

LOL Shadowburn being the pro Genji he is, forgot he was supposed to get on the point...

And they're trying to counter a Pharah, by running Pharah.
