[B]What is Overwatch?[/B]

[QUOTE]Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released in May 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Overwatch puts players into two teams of six, with each player selecting one of several pre-defined hero characters with unique movement, attributes, and skills; these heroes are divided into four classes: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map and/or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time. Players gain cosmetic rewards that do not affect gameplay, such as characters skins and victory poses, as they continue to play in matches. The game was launched with casual play, and competitive matchmaking was added in June 2016. Blizzard states that all Overwatch updates will remain free, with the only additional cost to players is through microtransactions to earn additional cosmetic rewards. The Overwatch thread on the Facepunch Forums is renowned for its massive shitpost quantity. Does anybody even read this bit?

I'm hoping we get some maps around the time summer skins drop.

[Totenkreuz]

Summer skins will be here August 31st at 11:59:59

[Captain]

I'm sitting on 1000 gold right now itching to buy El Blancho, but I also want to wait for the next set of skins to come out already in case something even cooler comes out.

I'm sitting on 2.8k really really hoping Genji gets some kinda Grey Fox homage.

Where's that Sombra quote from?

[Davoc]

my pc cant run this game i'm sad

[markfu]

Did you buy it and have framerate issues? It turned out I had to just close the battle.net client and I'd get playable fps. If I left it on while playing I'd be at about 15 fps.

[xZippy]

I love how every time my team loses by just a hair, there's always someone that goes "team sucks" even if they just joined. Then they leave before anyone can respond. I guess some people need that last word.

Compiled from the last week of tournaments.
Blizzard should buff all of the defense heroes.

[VagosLabrou]

Am I the only one who thinks playing against a stealth character will be extremely frustrating?

By the way, Sombra is not confirmed to be a stealth Hero. However, "sombra" in Spanish means shadow and some of the lines datamined in the game refer to a character that can not be seen.

Maybe him/her not having an instakill mechanic like the Spy from TF2 will make him/her less frustrating to predict.

[OzzyCockroach]

Tweeted, skins confirmed :v:

[lilguy]

If those are future skins to be released, then I guess I'll hang onto my 1000G for Greaser Junkrat.

[Captain]

I hope they never add a hero that plays like the TF2 Spy. I'm [i]okay[/i] with the idea of a character having stealth (I would prefer there not be, but meh), but the Spy is one of the least fun things to play against in a shooter, tied with guaranteed instant kill snipers.

(you can still kinda see them:)

then thats fine but no insta kill and thats final

[PeakDeNile]

Is it just me or does Torbjorn feel a little weak at the moment?

[Totenkreuz]

[QUOTE=Killajax;50778859]Is it just me or does Torbjorn feel a little weak at the moment?[/QUOTE]

How good he is, is inversely proportional to your rank

[NoOneKnowsMe]

[QUOTE=Killajax;50778859]Is it just me or does Torbjorn feel a little weak at the moment?[/QUOTE]

That's because he is, similar to Bastion, Mei and other defense heroes. Sure, they may be annoying and strong in lower skill levels, but are easily countered with the right heroes. If you focus Torbjörn for example with Pharah, he will never be able to successfully set up his turret. While he also has a strong weapon with his rivet gun, it is just more useful to play an offense hero or a tank instead.

first game of the day and this shit happens

it's amazing what happens when you get matched up with people who simply do not look up

[kylel999]

Probably super early to be talking about it already, but what class do you think the next character will be? I'm either thinking of a tank considering there's 5 now and 6 offense/defense

Also, the enemy Roadhog seemed to be singling me out with his hooks, because I narrowly missed at least fifteen of them, but he didn't hit a single one :v:

[Vmonkey]

Agree for Sunyatta
Friendly for Ra

[Annoyed Grunt]

I just played a match against a team with a Roadhog, a Tracer, and a Mei.
I could feel the will to live slowly flowing out of my being.

[editline]26th July 2016[/editline]

Just like remove Tracer from the game, please, I'll allow you to leave McCree as is if you do that
