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

Although I think his ability set is boring, for being an entry point to the game 76 is pretty much fine the way he is. There's not need to change him or his abilities.

[QUOTE=Skyward;48160807]A character like Tracer is better suited to that.[/QUOTE] Crap, you're right. I forgot about Tracer. I still think he'd benefit from guerrilla styled play. He seems like he'd be really good at picking off enemies one-on-one, whittling them down with rifle fire, then securing the kill with the Helix Rockets. After an encounter, you just heal back up for the next attack. Then, when the big team push happens, he can get behind them, ult, and wipe out a lot of targets. Tracer is a really great guerrilla fighter too, but with just her pistols, it may be hard to secure a kill without chasing someone down. However, her tool kit [I]does[/I] allow her to chase people down and back out safely should things get dicey. I think they both would fit the role really well.

I'll be honest though, whilst I'm totally cool with there being an entry level character and have no issue with one of the characters in the game using an assault rifle, Soldier 76's ultimate is really lame.

Soldier 76 should exchange ult with Widowmaker's, with tweaked values. (E.g. Her version of aimbot only lets her snap-to headshot for 3 seconds or so)

Oh cool, they finally added a FoV slider.

[QUOTE=Damjen;48215827]Uhhhhhh... Did they miss the crapload of complaints about HotS' matchmaking?[/QUOTE] They didn't say that they had experience with GOOD matchmaking, but experience with matchmaking that doesn't work is still very good experience to have. Knowing what not to do allows you to do the correct thing faster.

Knowing what not to do allows you to do the correct thing faster.[/QUOTE] Before HotS they had tons and tons of games with matchmaking to gain experience from but somehow, it's still crap so I don't trust them to not screw it up again. It's like expecting Ubisoft to suddenly release an open-world game that is not build with their cookie cutter schematic. What makes you think that this time will be different? Blind hope?

All player settings are saved to "The Cloud" in case you play on multiple machines." So yes, we will get an editable numerical value to our sensitivity. Hope I'm not late!

He looks really fun, way more fun than the other support characters revealed so far imo.

Has anyone else opened up their battle.net client to be greeted with this? [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/dE5nFHr.png[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=The Stills;48381607]Has anyone else opened up their battle.net client to be greeted with this? [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/dE5nFHr.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] They are prepping it for beta it seems. Means it's closer than expected.

Holy crap that Amp it up with the speed boost is going to be ridiculous for team pushes.

[QUOTE=r_S;48380671][video=youtube;L1RZfSeOm4o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1RZfSeOm4o[/video][/QUOTE] I loooove these maps. The Africa one especially.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;48383232]Holy crap that Amp it up with the speed boost is going to be ridiculous for team pushes.[/QUOTE] Don't forget his ult either, drop the bass and everyone is Winston. Symettra's teleporter doesn't seem as vital anymore with his speed boosting abilities, which is ironic considering they're set up to be lore-rivals.

Considering there are multiple characters with different play styles that can fill roughly the same role it's not surprising there is another character that can help allies get to the front, though I don't feel like the speed boosting abilities will fully replace a teleporter unless he's constantly going back to spawn to ferry respawning players.

Fuckin' pooped myself when it was added to the launcher. I thought I'd got invited to a alpha/beta or something.

I bet fat guy is going on the roster next.
