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

Anyone got that site where I can check how long until open beta

I don't know why people are having so many issues with Bastion Just go Hanzo, Pharah, Genji or D.Va. All four of them fuck him up. Hell, even Zenyatta can with the debuff. Well, at least I never ran into an issue with him being those heroes.

[QUOTE=Pinut;50255102]Doubt it'll ever change because 20% group bonus kinda shows that. Just too rare to be in a game that isn't a complete stomp, been on both sides of the stomp and neither is really fun.[/QUOTE] Just finished a game where the most frags was 6. They just took the first point then ran to the second. Related: to teammates crying on VOIP "Wheres our mercy/zenyatta/lucio/heals?????" they are dead because neither you nor the other 4 dipshits on our team can turn their mouse to the right and take care of the genji/mcree/tracer that has been glued to my hip for the past 30 seconds. [editline]4th May 2016[/editline] This really is like TF2 again, I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of being the only good slayer on my team but I have to pick healer because no one else wants to.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50255269]Battleborn is already dead in the water, it couldn't even break 15k players on launch, and that's really, really painful[/QUOTE] Partially I feel sad for it, since it seemed to do things well and wasn't just a complete rehash of Borderlands. But on the other hand I almost feel like it was karma for all the shit Gearbox has been pulling over the past coupla years. Pity it had to happen to a game that actually seems kinda good for once.

I've watched a quick progression of people who don't understand Symmetra's turrets to them being rendered almost useless within a day. Yet somehow the enemy Symmetra gets 20 kills with one set of them in a really obvious area. What the fuck

Never underestimate the stupidity of solo queue players. Premades really seem to be the way to enjoy this game.

how do you get overwatch credits??

[QUOTE=redBadger;50255482]how do you get overwatch credits??[/QUOTE] From loot crate drops. Either you get a set amount of currency from a drop (the amount depends on rarity), or it turns duplicate drops into currency.

No one happens to have an extra key?

Why is Zenyatta so bad compared to all other supports it's actually depressing

The prime examples are the building in Hollywood, and the final part of the Russian factory map on the ramparts. Both areas provide attackers with barely any cover to take him out at range.

[QUOTE=Rudevinny;50255534]Or two? I've been kind of just sitting with my thumb up my ass and waiting for tomorrow while that one Jeopardy song plays nonstop in my head.[/QUOTE] You can buy overwatch at game.co.uk and receive the early access key almost instantly. You can also cancel the preorder after you used your early access key, but don't quote me on that.

There's like 7 hours left until open beta anyway.

[QUOTE=Jon MadN;50255553]Why is Zenyatta so bad compared to all other supports it's actually depressing[/QUOTE] people keep saying this what are you doing with him, because you are doing something wrong

Yeah Zenyatta is amazing. Making your team do [I]double damage[/I] to any enemy is enough to put him in a high tier, let alone his other skills

[QUOTE=Jon MadN;50255553]Why is Zenyatta so bad compared to all other supports it's actually depressing[/QUOTE] Use your discord orb you dingus, it has no cooldown so spam that shit It slows enemies down and makes them take almost double damage, enough for you to pretty much wreck shit with your orbs. The orbs do shittons of damage alone if you land a headshot. Also prioritize whoever you place the discord orb on to make sure you get the kill.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;50255646]people keep saying this what are you doing with him, because you are doing something wrong[/QUOTE] The only thing wrong is not playing Lucio or Mercy over him

I actually find mercy pretty painful to play. If you don't have anyone next to you, she's so slow.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50255269]Battleborn is already dead in the water, it couldn't even break 15k players on launch, and that's really, really painful[/QUOTE] It was dead in the water before it released. 60 dollars and you don't own every character initially, you have to unlock them through progression lmao

[QUOTE=Zeos;50255269]Battleborn is already dead in the water, it couldn't even break 15k players on launch, and that's really, really painful[/QUOTE] Good. Wasn't for Gearbox to make that game, they should stick to Borderlands. Awful fucking idea to make that game and to release it in May? Idiots.

Just increases damage taken by 50%.

Hey, Does anyone want to make a full custom lobby game later? I want to play with my fellow facepunchers.

random group I played with agreed to do 5 soldier 76 + lucio with friend :v: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/zNjxIGn.png[/thumb]

got my first play of the game as diva, a nice 4 piece.

Idiots.[/QUOTE] For all the reasons to dislike a game yours are some of the worst I've seen in a while. And then about Overwatch, how long do you think it'll take for Blizzard to start adding additional content after launch? Considering they're already probably working on such content, is less than a month a tad too optimistic?

what's the penalty for to many abandons?

imo Battleborn would have done much better sales-wise if it released before Overwatch. People would at least have something to play before Overwatch itself and maybe it would grab enouhg attention and people would actually play it a lot, until Overwatch comes out obviously. After that, I'm afraid Blizzard has won everyone's attention with Overwatch at this point.
