I wonder how it would affect the play stats if you switched Zarya's character model with DVA or something

So based on the crude death rate of the world, and the number of players who played the beta, ~2935 people who played the beta have died before release.

Why are people so obsessed with overwatch beta player death statistics

I've never seen this with any other game

Did MMR not reset between the beta and now? I was really hoping to play against some brand new people the first couple of games but it feels like everybody already knows what they are doing.

Like 10 million people played the beta, that's basically the entire population of earth - everyone knows how to play overwatch

Nope, and I was surprised too. I'd honestly drop $20-30 if I could just buy credits. I don't want to buy chests and not get what I want, so I'll just wait and hopefully get it eventually.

They can make a lot more money from making people gamble on loot boxes

There's only maybe two skins I actually want really badly so if I could buy them I'd never need to care about what I get from them again since I don't think anyone really cares about sprays etc (I'm not gonna buy loot boxes though, I guess the skins will come eventually/I'll save up enough credits)

Shields really should have a universal damage gate property. As long as you have some amount of shields, any damaging attack that would destroy the shield won't transfer over to health.

This would make Symmys an actual team counter to Widow/Hanzo. And Zen would take minimum two shots from Widow.

That would be really annoying

Those of you complaining about the behavior of pubs in pub games --

Have you actually tried communicating with your teammates via voice chat and telling them what to do in a firm and confident tone that isn't demeaning?

Or are you guys just expecting a bunch of people who don't realize greater joy and fun can be had by being more cooperative and pushing objectives to just sort of intuit what to do?

If you think your teammates in pub games are loving up, say so in a non-nasty fashion ("Guys, CAN WE PLEASE stay near the objective and push the cart? That's how we win!")

I haven't tried doing this yet but I'm gonna tonight in any of the pub games I play where they gently caress up. I say all this because I remember a few weeks ago in the stress test there was one game where this one fellow took charge and started telling us how to function better as a unit and we all followed him.

People want to win and you just have to nudge them in that direction.

Reading the complaining about pub players in every video game I've learned that goons are expert video game champions and pubbies are some kind of inferior non-human life form

I mean, the average videogame player is TERRIBLE tho. Have you seen game journalists/Youtubers playing games ever? We're just kings of poo poo mountain.

I basically just pop chat up and try giving people advice nicely. The first few times, at least. Then I give up and play Widowmaker or Mei or something that won't contribute anything but lemme piss off some peoples. But sometimes it works and I try to be positive when people are being helpful and change things up.

Yeah I know most people are awful but the weird smug complaining you see sometimes about how pub players are beneath the goon masterminds always just makes me roll my eyes

e: Also, I really feel if you kill Mercy while the people being resurrected are yellow, it should cancel the ult. Right now it just seems like a get out of jail free card, where the entire team hosed up, and they now get a do-over because Mercy can stand in the middle of the lot and press Q

I mean half the time you're in that situation it's because someone else pressed Q so it seems fair

I really hope they take another look at some of the achievements because they seem pretty clearly designed for different builds/balances than what we're currently playing with.

Zenyatta has one where he has to rapidly apply Discord to kill 4 people in six seconds. Does the rate of fire even allow that if you're like almost point blank with 4 people and Pharah is doing all the damage with her ult or something

Meanwhile one of Mercy's achievements is almost literally "Play Mercy for a bit."

There's one for destroying three of Symmetra's teleporters in one game which seems like it would never happen

You need to have more faith in your widowmaker, the optimal set up is 5 mercy 1 widow (all using the damage boost, no healing required)

I love playing as Zarya but there's a distinct lack of feedback that helps you with things. How do you know you have a shield up? Subtle details in the corner of your screen. How often do you look at the corners of your screen? Very rarely. The beam is really hard to gauge because there's no point of reference. It casts no shadow or light so you can't check the ground under it for its length. Having more info on the crosshairs would go a long way to fixing some of those problems for pretty much all the heroes, in my opinion.

I know I have a shield up because I just hit the shield button

On this subject though, how many of the characters actually have voice actors form the nationality they are supposed to be? I swear Widowmaker only has a french accent like, half the time.

I think it's pretty much everyone except for Junkrat/Torbjorn/Reinhardt/Pharah

I think someone said Mercy had an American voice actor then they changed it right before the open beta or something
