Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY - Games

I hope the new map isn't another KoTH.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;52181082]Is it already time to wait for a whole month of PTR testing for the new hero to go through?[/QUOTE] And what's wrong with that?

I didn't even touch the PTR when Orisa was up. I went into the practice range, got a general sense of how her kit felt, looked at all the skins, and went back to comp. They're all still subject to change at that point, so I tend to just ignore them until they hit the main game, rather than get used to mechanics that'll feel different once I get to use them for real.

Also, regarding those leaks, that's now multiple different sources identifying identical movesets and ult for him. Reminds me of the Orisa leak that was 100% correct, down to her testing name

The thing is. What is stopping someone seeing another leak and saying the same thing to make it seem more credible?

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;52181077]I hope the new map isn't another KoTH.[/QUOTE] My bets are on a capture point map.

the new police dva skin blares a siren if she use her jets thats pretty dope

[QUOTE=Riorio;52181224]the new police dva skin blares a siren if she use her jets thats pretty dope[/QUOTE] If I had a loot box every time someone posted about this...

[QUOTE=E.C.S;52181328]If I had a loot box every time someone posted about this...[/QUOTE] you'd probably unbox police d.va then

[QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;52181335]you'd probably unbox police d.va then[/QUOTE] You mean another icon for my collection?

I wish the koth maps weren't classified under cp with the rest of the 2 cp maps makes it really confusing in custom games.

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;52180896][sp]So Doomfist is coming out pretty soon? I don't know if I believe that tbh.[/sp] [sp]Now IF all the information about Doomfist happens to be true, then we could totally expect the entire leak to be real then, right? If so then I'll be totally hyped. [/sp][/QUOTE] It's entirely possible that credible leakers simply have outdated information as well. Things change all the time during developments, so while one of their leaks might be true, the other could've changed since then. We'll see.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;52179581]After playing a bit of HoTS. Here are the things I think would be nice if added in Overwatch. 1. Allow us to re-roll our lootboxes with coins. Around maybe 75-100 coins for the first re-roll. 2. Add daily missions for coin rewards. Stuff like "Kill 20 people with an ult" or "Get 5 environmental kills" even something as simple as "win 5 games". 3. Give rewards for level up milestones. HoTS gives you an epic crate when you reach level 50 that guarantees you 1 epic item. They can add that and since prestiging is no longer something special since it doesn't mean 20 easy lootboxes anymore. Maybe prestiging can give you a legendary lootbox that is guaranteed 1 legendary.[/QUOTE] [quote="Blizzard Email"]If a Loot Box contains something already in your collection, you will instead receive Credits. According to Athena’s projections, there’s a 97.3% probability you will use these to buy a Legendary skin. Athena recommends Safari Winston, but she’s a bit biased.[/quote] you're guaranteed a legendary every 50~ boxes or so according to the email blizzard sends you after purchasing the boxes

It's not worth it.[/QUOTE] I'm a support main and went from gold to masters. You can't just passively heal and not contribute otherwise. Shoot enemies, call out where people are, contribute to strategies, and diffuse toxic team-mates. You may be in the shit league now, but it gets better the higher up you get. The biggest problem I get is when there are more than 2 of us support mains on our team and I need to play something else.

You get a free bundle that's literally 1/4 the heroes in the game...

[QUOTE=Zadrave;52181640]You get a free bundle that's literally 1/4 the heroes in the game...[/QUOTE] And it's on rotation, so you'll eventually play them all for free at certain points anyway.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;52181648]It isn't bad, you just have to get used to it. Overwatch has an [I]extremely[/I] simplistic U.I.[/QUOTE] Meanwhile Hots only has a simple tutorial that barely covers the details of one map, then you're dropped in maps with completely different objectives with no context or explanation in the UI. In my second match against players I played on a map where you can't even [i]get[/i] to the Core, you're supposed to know you have wander around killing jungle monsters to activate turrets that shoot giant missiles that aim at the Core... I think? There's even an Overwatch map where you push 4 payloads around the map. Like, it's crazy how simple and explicit Overwatch is, and it's made by the same company.

A lot of matches were actually pretty discouraging as the moment I do anything but heal. My team would bitch at me for not healing and to stop being a battle medic. Those two wins I actually got teams that worked together. Can't tell you how many times I've heard "Our Mercy fucking sucks she hasn't been healing" when I spend all my time trying to respawn because the moment I exit out of spawn I have a Genji or Tracer on my ass.

Maps are only confusing in the beginning but after that the loading screen and the announcer notifies you when stuff is happening.

HOTS is like the easiest MOBA to understand.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52181754]Okay? Dota 2 gives you every hero free as soon as you launch the game.[/QUOTE] Cool, then go play Dota 2. Nobody is forcing you to play HOTS, it's just a skin lmao

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52181774]Or just offer them all for free because offering an experience that's intentionally inferior to your direct competition hurts your ability to attract players?[/QUOTE] You can get every hero for free through coins. Which requires playing the game. Something you obviously made clear that you don't want to do.

Locking characters behind a paywall is just a pay to win system. Unless those heroes don't have important niches, in which case why even bother including them in the game, that's just pointless clutter making the game more impermeable to new players

[QUOTE=Zadrave;52181790]You can get every hero for free through coins. Which requires playing the game. Something you obviously made clear that you don't want to do.[/QUOTE] Try and get all heroes with coins. You get like 20-50 per game, while the cheapest one costs 2000. The amount you get is pathetic and even with quests, you have to grind for a while before you can afford anybody.

I think this discussion would fit more in the HotS thread.

The milestones you get, the quests and brawls, and just playing the game and trying new heroes nets you fuckloads of coins. Usually I end up getting too much that I don't know what to do with them.
