Overwatch - The world needs heroes, and Blizzard needs a TF2 game! - Games

[QUOTE=Noob4life;50247287]While everybody's on the subject of "x is op", just a quick question here: Is it quicker to just re-enter Sentry config than to reload its gatling gun?[/QUOTE] Marginally slower to switch modes back and forth I believe.

[QUOTE=Noob4life;50247287]While everybody's on the subject of "x is op", just a quick question here: Is it quicker to just re-enter Sentry config than to reload its gatling gun?[/QUOTE] Bastion's sentry reload is like a second and a half, exiting and re-entering takes just as long

Mercy is fun but it would be so much better if my team actually stopped over-extending or going on a field trip

Honestly the thing I'm happiest with is the performance. No hitching, no stutters, just perfectly smooth gameplay on a decent system. Pretty great.

It runs better then TF2 for me.

Has there been any talk of a community skin system for Overwatch or have they ruled that out?

How many players are playing right now?

are there any extra beta codes up for grabs?

[QUOTE=Qaus;50247410]are there any extra beta codes up for grabs?[/QUOTE] Yeah, that would be nice.

I wonder, do they have plans for more builder heroes in the future?

This has no doubt been asked many times, but is there anyway for me to preload the open beta? My internet isn't great so I would prefer to have it downloaded in advance. I tired [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/47qqnc/step_by_step_guide_how_to_install_overwatch/"]this[/URL], but it would just crash every time I did it so I don't think it works, unless I'm doing something wrong.

I love zenyatta but he just feels so underwhelming outside of his ult

soldier 76 is by far my favorite character to play so far something so satisfying about launching a helix rocket, unloading a clip into someone, then sprinting away and self-healing back to full health :v:

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;50247600]I love zenyatta but he just feels so underwhelming outside of his ult[/QUOTE] he's the squishiest hero I've ever played but besides his durability he's really fun [editline]3rd May 2016[/editline] that moment when you hook a self-destructing d.va mech

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;50247600]I love zenyatta but he just feels so underwhelming outside of his ult[/QUOTE] He provides the greatest boons to the team during shoot outs, but if he's not cared for in return he's picked off really easily.

I didn't play the beta but I like how everyone is saying ' X is so much fun, but Y is so op/annoying ', with X and Y being different heroes for every poster. Good sign that the game is more or less balanced.

I think we're just not used to all the counters and stuff right now.

aka we all have to get good

Balancing so many characters always had me thinking - Thy each have weapons and abilities reminiscent of MOBA/ARTS games that, as we know, take so much finetuning to balance correctly. On top of that you have the FPS factor - a genre where individual skill can really shine and make anything look incredibly OP. For example your average TF2 Demoman will sticky trap doorways or capture points and spam nades at people, where as a competitive demoman player will fly around the map, airshot and kill [I]everything[/I]. It sounds really interesting but as well as challenging to have to balance weapons, character stats and abilities at the same time. In [I]large[/I] quantities even.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;50247600]I love zenyatta but he just feels so underwhelming outside of his ult[/QUOTE] bro, for the longest time zenyatta was one of the two most ridiculous supports in the game throw your heal on someone, discord someone and then shoot them with the charged orbs for the instant kill [editline]3rd May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=FFStudios;50247655]soldier 76 is by far my favorite character to play so far something so satisfying about launching a helix rocket, unloading a clip into someone, then sprinting away and self-healing back to full health :v:[/QUOTE] BROTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

honestly the only champions that annoy me are hanzo and widowmaker and that's because fuck snipers

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;50247771]honestly the only champions that annoy me are hanzo and widowmaker and that's because fuck snipers[/QUOTE] hanzo is legit a complete cunt people think widowmaker is bad because she's a dirtbag sniper, but at least she has to headshot you hanzo can just scattershot into the floor for the instakill ricochet

I don't understand how I keep getting team toddler while the other team gets actual players that have played a game before in their life and streamroll us

I honestly can't wait to try the game despite i'm no great in heavy teamwork games, you feel way more pressure if you mess up :v:

Good sign that the game is more or less balanced.[/QUOTE] The only hero I legitimately hate is Mei, it's like those host infesting aliens in most movies/games, if it gets too close you're fucking done for, there's no escape. Also THAT FUCKING VOICE

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;50247777]hanzo is legit a complete cunt people think widowmaker is bad because she's a dirtbag sniper, but at least she has to headshot you hanzo can just scattershot into the floor for the instakill ricochet[/QUOTE] I just really hate snipers and sniping in general as a game mechanic it's just not fun to play against imo, but it's a genre staple and thus gets put in everything

I wish the scope of the widowmaker would be a little bit longer. On long distances its pretty hard to shoot the enemys head

Widowmaker is by far the most intolerable character in the game for me. Generic as hell sniper character that every single shooter has to have for some reason. Her sniper rifle shoots way too fast imo too. If she gets a fully powered shot on you, and doesn't kill you, you don't have time to respond to it and go into cover because she can shoot again pretty much immediately, unlike the Sniper in TF2. There's just nothing appealing about her. Her kit is straightforward, her personality is nonexistent, and her design is way more simple than all of the other heroes in the game. Just BLEH. At least TF2 Sniper was snarky and hilarious. But it's okay because I'll just go Tracer or Reaper and shoot her in the ass.

also when multiple people on my team switch to her i want to punch my monitor

the main problem that I have with widowmaker is that you get pretty much 0 feedback on her ult (at least when I played) meaning that you'd get bullshit killed by a guy shooting a rocket round a corner, you'd go "what the fuck was that bullshit", and then realise from the killcam that they had widowmaker ult
