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

Aaaand I can't play the game even with the lowest settings on everything, fuck.

Played about only 20 minutes of the Open Beta so far because I'm meant to be studying for an exam but even in that time I had a lot of fun playing as Roadhog. I'm better than I thought I would be at making his hook actually hit someone!

First time to defend I decided to play as Bastion, since he is one of the ones I was most excited about. Won with 16 kills, five deaths, and play of the game.

Mei is so fucking cute omg.

McRee is fun. Just went full force with another McRee, a Mercy, a Reinhardt, a Reaper, and Lucio.

Especially when she was glued to the Reinhardt who is like ten times her size, she basically is invisible.

I hate that I love Soldier 76. I feel so boring playing as him :v:

[QUOTE=Furnost;50258937]does someone being healed by her have her name + health display show on their screen like in TF2?[/QUOTE] yes

I just want to play with my friends :(

I feel right at home with Phara's. Her playstyle is almost identical to playing Soldier on TF2. went on a 7 kill streak right in the first time I played as her.

As in, her character model is tiny and outside certain circumstances doesn't draw a lot of attention. So she basically disappears in to the background and the mess between the enemies and other allies running around, and the environment. Basically, she has no visible presence.

Finally managed to play a few rounds, game is awesome. Playing Mercy is like babysitting a bunch of ADD lemmings tho

good god I knew I was gonna hate tracer but I didn't realize I would hate tracer THIS MUCH

I've played about three games with players and i feel like i'm going to really enjoy this. Reinhardt is rather scary to deal with during Payload when flanking him is out of the question. (As in, if you move away from the thing your supposed to be defending, you lose kind of deal.) Roadhog is pretty decent though with that shotgun of his.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;50258906]Mei is so fucking cute omg.[/QUOTE] I hate fighting them and I hate her "let's save the world together through teamwork, yaya" attitude. But then again... [t]http://i.imgur.com/VRsxMEu.jpg[/t]

Am I the only that can't help but think about Wreck-it-Ralph when they see D'Va's character select animation with that videogame sound bite?

Feeling zen as fuck when playing as Zenyatta. Even his fire rate and sounds are comfy.

Playing Mercy on a team that pays attention is fucking amazing. Played a defense where the cart didn't get moved up at all because I just kept people alive. I only died once at the very end but our team held it together. Our Roadhog had a 25 kill spree and his total kills were 25 :v: Games seriously feast or famine. If I'm not totally shutting down people I'm the one getting shut down by parties of 5.

anyone else getting players stuttering? i dont want to say its lag because my friend is sitting next to me playing perfectly fine and anything else connection related is fine including my own movement but friendly and enemy teammates just lag around

Also randomly dropped from Bnet. Might just be server load.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50259115]I get spikes, not consistent lag though. Also randomly dropped from Bnet. Might just be server load.[/QUOTE] But it isn't lag, this is the issue its just characters freezing and then suddenly starting up again everything else connection wise is fine

Eh, I think I'll pass. It plays smoothly, but it's nothing I haven't already played to death in TF2 or similar shooters.

Really liking it so far, just have to figure out which Hero to main as.

[QUOTE=robotman5;50259135]Really liking it so far, just have to figure out which Hero to main as.[/QUOTE] None. Have a handful of 5 you're comfortable switching to at any time.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;50259169]None. Have a handful of 5 you're comfortable switching to at any time.[/QUOTE] I guess i could do that.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50258821]I'm always baffled when my teammates are just... not at the objective. like where are you, what could possibly be that important on the other side of the map where NO enemies are, and why did our healer go with you. What is wrong with you[/QUOTE] It's amazing. I once played a match on Numbani as Reinhardt. Things were going well until we got to that overpass, at which point the Tracer spam and Junkrat traps started getting real annoying. The match had maybe 30 seconds left, so I decided to explore a bit and maybe eek out a flank. Sure enough, I managed to sneak across a balcony, drop down, and cap the objective all on my own. Pretty much the entire enemy team was still under the overpass picking off my teammates, the only people who tried to stop me were a Mercy and a Mei (both of whom were dead within three swings). Like, hardly anyone, friend or foe, even looking in my direction, it was incredible.

Oh my god, some guy just got MVP for, and I quote the game "Spending 54% of the match on FIRE"

[QUOTE=Zeos;50259202]Oh my god, some guy just got MVP for, and I quote the game "Spending 54% of the match on FIRE"[/QUOTE] if you're doing really when you get "On Fire" lol he wasn't actually on fire

Oh... oh that makes more sense
