I got McCree in mystery heroes the other day, and I was surprised how easy it was to just decimate their Pharahs. I typically play supports, don't have the best aim especially under pressure but that was a really good game. The improved aim assist and new controller method helps out a lot with that, so I don't think she is as strong on console now.
Most console players are dense af for some reason though. You will most likely have potato aim Hanzo and Junkrat on your team instead of a McCree so that enemy Pharah pick goes a long way.
I'm trying to learn to play tracer now, and yeah, I am not liking Soldier more by the game.
Players are barely aiming with the guy, half the kills are just spraying in the general direction of the payload. He wasn't all that problematic with normal heroes, but he just slaughters tracers by the dozens. It's silly.

For those of you who own the base version of Overwatch and want to get the Origins edition skins (and the other stuff that comes with it), now is the perfect time to upgrade.
The Origins edition upgrade costs 10€ instead of 20€, so it is 50% off.

On one hand, lol at $10 for 5 skins being the sale price. On the other hand Slipstream Tracer and Overgrown Bastion are pretty amazing so I won't judge.
Origin skins are not even good except for Tracer's and Bastion's.

I'm just pointing it out. I don't care if you buy it or not lol.
Well normally the upgrade would be 20€.
Also, as a sidenote, you do get other goodies as well in other Blizzard games (e.g. Tracer in HotS and a Winston pet in WoW).
I really like Young Soldier 76 and Blackwatch Reyes is decent too (though Reaper has many good skins). Not too fond of Overgrown Bastion myself tho.

probably all the patches added up.
Lucio and maybe Rein although its important to know when to use his shift.

The only thing I use is the card back in Hearthstone. Although Reyes coming out of the coffin in the highlight intro is pretty dope.

I managed to get Pumpkin Reaper and El Blanco from loot boxes so I'll never ever use Reyes. Hell also got Nevermore for when I need my edge lord fix.
Resistance is futile friend.
Shit, now how am I supposed to think the lore is bad if I don't have the comic to be disappointed with!?First Strike graphic novel cancelled: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20752185714

Is there literally any good reason for someone to buy it on PC if they're already deep in on PS4?
$20 is my limit for PC. don't really care unless cosmetics are cross-platform.
If you have the right PC and monitor, 144Hz gaming.
But mostly the kb/m controls.
i don't even play games on my pc though
probably not but
it's only $28 that's close, right?
Soldier 76 is the Mario of Overwatch. Hes decent for just about anything. His rifle does decent mid-to-long-range damage, hes got rockets with knockback, and he can even heal. Oh, and his ultimate ability is basically an aimbot.
Reinhardt is Overwatchs most straightforward tank. Hes got a big ol hammer, lots of armor, and a holographic shield allies can shoot through but enemies cant. Many strategies revolve around a frontline with Reinhardt at the head. He can also charge enemies and pin them against or surfaces, and his ult knocks down everybody in its path, briefly stunning them.
Among Overwatchs supports, Mercy is the most straightforward healer. The Caduceus Staff can either heal allies or boost their damage output. She can also quickly fly toward allies, and her ult resurrects fallen friends. However, Mercy is extremely weak in terms of offense and defense. Always stay behind tanks and other beefy allies.
Mei is a very effective Defense hero, and despite her innocent appearance, she is an absolute terror. She can freeze enemies solid with her Frost Beam and then knock their brains out with a giant icicle blast. Her Ice Wall is great for giving allies cover or obscuring enemies shots. Her ult slows and freezes everyone in a fairly wide radius. Oh, and if shes hurting, she can freeze herself, becoming temporarily invincible and recovering health.
As for general tips:
-If you're getting a solid-gold ass beating, try another character. If youre not sure who to go for, ask your team what they need help with at the moment. If one of your teammates decides to be a dick, because how dare you not know everything about the game, kindly remind them that youre just trying to help, because thats how you win in Overwatch. Odds are, your other teammates will have your back on that one.
-Communicate. Let people know where youre going, what your plan is. If the other team has you stuck at a chokepoint, suggest a coordinated assault or a specific strategy instead of individually banging your head against an impenetrable defensive wall.
-Don't be afraid to lose. Dont lose hope, just because things arent going your way. Overwatch is designed to have the spoils of defeat being not too far from victories, as there are a lot of cool, awesome things that can happen during the match.
Generally speaking, the communities are about the same. You get your fair share of jerks, some friendly nice folk, & 13 year olds that adorably try to sound "mature". Gameplay-wise, the console versions feel slower & have aim-assist, while the PC/Mac versions are much more faster pace.

Now I'm imagining soldier 76 jumping on people to kill them and tripping out on shrooms constantly.

"We're all plumbers now."
I lost count of how many times you would have been dead pre-patch. The regen kept kicking in just fast enough to let the Lucio keep you alive.
I did and it was a great decision. The gameplay is so much faster, more precise and generally you can do combos that aren't possible on console. It's a lot more fun imo.
There's tax so nope
Mouse/Keyboard and 144Hz make it pretty much impossible for me to play the console version, anymore. I tried it again a month ago and just couldn't do it. Even just M/K on a 60Hz monitor makes it feel like a different game.
You can play a game you like without handicaps.

Servers are getting killed I bet. I haven't had problems with Mystery Heroes though.

Right now? I doubt it, free weekend is happening so i am sure that there are A LOT of ppl playing the game. It's something else causing this, maybe servers are barely breathing.
On PC it doesn't take more than few sec.
Even Quick Play is taking a ridiculous amunt of time to set a game up, x.x

someone on my friendslist messaged me an offer of $10 to do the HotS thing and get 'em the Oni Genji skin... RIP, HotS. xD
lmao, REAL TALK.
lmao, REAL TALK.
Meh I disagree. Pharah can be such a clutch pick on certain maps. As long as the enemy team doesn't have a McCree, you should be good. Soldier hasn't ever killed me as Pharah. Though haven't played a lot of games post-patch yet..
