Honestly I've gotten to the point in pub games where I stopped caring about team composition. If no one else wants to switch to fill a hole why should I sacrifice my fun to play a character I probably don't like so we can just lose slightly less. If I'm in a group though I'm more likely to switch to fill a gap.
I only want three Legendary skins. Mercy's Devil skin, Soldier 76's Night Ops skin, and D.Va's Scavenger skin. I suppose Widowmaker's Huntress skin is good too but I have zero desire to play her.
[QUOTE=Furnost;50385966]its really most noticeable when youre playing support, then you get to see the really bad decisions they all make, or how they have zero awareness[/QUOTE]
This too, I try to avoid playing Mercy whenever possible because being the team babysitter makes it so much more apparent if people play badly.
I swear to god if the Reinhardt I'm healing charges into the entire enemy team by himself while the rest of our team is still moving up from spawn one more time.
I think that's why I don't like playing Mercy at all. I prefer support that has a little bit more power like Lucio or Zenyatta. Lucio is a plus because I can get away really fast if my team is fucking up.
[QUOTE=Sir.Smile;50385467]Haven't had any crashes. But Sadly I am forced to play it on low to get 60 fps constantly. Even though I have some frame drops.[/QUOTE]
I have a different problem with Overwatch. I have no problem with maintaining 117fps with my R9 380 with the visuals topped out (Other than dynamic reflections). But because I have a 60hz monitor, I cap it to 60fps (Also the video card won't even hit 60C this way). But then I get 32-42ms input latency. That means 2-3 frames delay (Which is NOTICEABLE) with every movement of my mouse. Impossible to aim. With dynamic reflections turned on the latency is even higher and is the only reason I keep them turned off
I have to let my video card work overtime and be loud due to the extra load and heat to achieve a framerate double than what my monitor can even display just to get my input latency down to 11ms, which is still high, but at least it's under 16. It's like I have it on 200% super sampling when I don't
A friend of mine that mains sniper in every game is trying to convince me that Widowmaker isn't OP and why she is truly needed in Overwatch.
I think he may be Delusional.

It's a problem with support just not being fun to play on a shit team. I can have fun playing pretty much any other character and get frags and lose but if I'm just dying over and over and no one I heal is a good slayer its just a waste of time at that point.
I've legit switched from our only support to Soldier 76 and won because I'm doing more as a good killer than a good healer on people who can't kill.
Anyone who played TF2 should be used to the frustration of randomers acting like the game revolves around them and their lack of object permanence
Trying to push the last point on hanamura against 2 torbjorns and a bastion is hell.
Especially when your team has 2 reapers no support and a torbjorn of your own.
Widowmaker is fine, she just needs less bodyshot damage to promote headshots
I feel like every game I'm in has a career widowmaker
I love the Djinnyatta skin so much. The colors on it are great.
I really wish there was some form of trading system in this game. I have a bunch of skins I'm never going to use that I would much rather trade for other stuff.
Or at the very least make it so you get a small amount of coins after every match.
I still don't understand why you're allowed to have more than one of a hero.

One difference between Overwatch and TF2 is that class roles are a lot less flexible due to how specialized each hero is.
Even more than that though, TF2 has a much higher limit to how many players are on each team. I've noticed that in TF2 pubs there are ALWAYS a few shitty players on both teams, but they don't matter very much because there are almost always a few GOOD players on each team, and the REAL battle is between those good players. Overwatch is very different. In TF2 three shitty players isn't as big of a deal because three players isn't half of your fucking team, but in Overwatch if you've got three shitty players you might as well not even bother because any remotely coordinated team is going to steamroll you.
Who do I need to harass to have Blizzard give McCree a "you're pretty good" voice line :v:
Am I the only one who burned out on Overwatch during the beta and now has no drive to play it?
Why do the Odette and Odile Widowmaker skins exist. I can't decide if they're just ugly because they're ugly or ugly because they're edgy. Seriously they might be the grossest looking things in the whole game
Well, I haven't be able to play the game for a hour, looks like South america servers are busted.
I know everyone complains about it, but fighting mei sticks out like a sore thumb when dealing with enemies. It's so incredibly unfun. She's not op or up, it's just intrinsically flawed like airblast's stunlock in TF2.

While there are combos that work, a hero cap would be quite beneficial
I mainly play Widowmaker but will swap to other roles if the team needs it and for the most part, I'm pretty happy to do so - still kinda frustrating when someone else changes to Widowmaker when I've already picked it because I feel forced into swapping despite first dibs :(

They're references to the Ballet Swan Lake, Odette being the White Swan and protagonist and Odile being the Black Swan and one of the antagonists. I'm not sure why they picked a Russian ballet to reference rather than a French one but I can see how it's somewhat fitting.
[QUOTE=billibobc;50385645]Widowmaker is such a braindead hero, shes way too forgiving on people who cant aim since a fully charged body shot does 150 dmg and it takes like 2 seconds to charge. Not to mention that she can follow up with a shot like .2 seconds after.
Even facing people that only body shot you is stupidly annoying, I cant imagine facing someone who could actually get headshots.[/QUOTE]
You can kill a 200hp hero with a fully charged bodyshot and a chargeless headshot right after. I don't know what they were thinking.
The biggest problem I have with it is it charges too quickly to punish missed shots. Baiting out a shot to make them waste their charge doesn't work because anyone with low to average health will still get one shotted by a partially charged headshot.
Mei in a nutshell:

In my defence, I did it for revenge - when it was our turn attacking earlier, team Mei didn't let us out of spawn.
they need to start coming out with new content fast
the fact that there appears to be almost 0 difference between beta and release is pretty sad. the game right now is really fucking good but i know its gonna get stale quick if they dont make new maps/modes/heros
[QUOTE=usaokay;50386336]That must be from arcade mode.
you son of a bitch :glare:[/QUOTE]
how to ruin arcade mode for everyone every time:
Press shift on cart
Press E and make an ice wall immediately after
Press shift again

They can wait a bit. We know there's [I]something[/I] coming, anyways.
And the lack of a difference between beta and release isn't really an issue since the open beta was more about stress testing than feature testing
