In a group with my friends at least one of us keeps getting disconnected. It's launch so I get it, but the really annoying thing is that I have to relaunch the game, and then exit it and relaunch a second time because it won't give me the "request invite to group" option. That's not a thing we encountered in beta

So who were the new characters that people were theorizing again?

There was:

Sombra (mother of the year)

Doomfist (who is a kid, no really, I'm serious)

and like one other dude/dudette right? I feel like it was an attack looking class.

There's a ton of posters in the Hanamura arcade of a girl with cool 80s future glasses and what looks like some kind of robot? I wouldn't be surprised to see her become a new hero.

One of the devs did a Q&A for a Korean website and said there would definitely be new maps and characters this year. So Blizzcon is gonna be awesome as far as Overwatch is concerned

Mercy is so good but that beam is like a "please come kill me now" sign

no one ever bothers me on Lucio

I loving love running behind enemy lines on Anubis and just running back and forth in that little tunnel right behind the capture point. You can so easily duck in and out of there and run on the walls so fast as Lucio and just annoy the poo poo out of the other team and super distract them. I've completely changed the tide of a few matches by doing that. Don't be afraid to NOT heal as Lucio sometimes!

Also unrelated, this game runs SO smoothly. Like goddamn this poo poo runs better than WoW in certain places. I'm really impressed by how good this game looks

I realized why McCree is so fail - he's the only cahracter in the game without any mobility abilties or self heals so to make up for it he has an instant 1v1 fight win button combo. He is a fraud, and his belt buckle is probably the worst art direction choice in the game. I have no respect for him

This game is so so good and man does it make me so so salty sometimes. I loving swear to god some of these goddamned Widowmakers are robots. Bastions are nothing. Widowmakers make me saltier than anything else in this game with their instant headshot loving bullshit gently caress

It's really good. I'm honestly surprised it's not one of her legendary skins cause I think it looks way more interesting than the gundam one

I don't know which legendary I like more for Mei, the firefighter or the one with the big feather (the pink one of course)). Both of them are so good!

Why is there constantly a situation where someone drops out at the very beginning of the match and then no one is replaced in that spot for the entire game? Why wasn't that fixed before the beta ended? It's ridiculous

So bored of Bastion PotG moments already.

Bastion himself is pretty easy to deal with so I don't have a problem with the character (Widowmaker is way loving worse IMO) but they really do need to do something about POTG so easily going to Bastion. He gets it a lot and it gets boring when you know there were plenty of awesome plays that happened besides Bastion mowing down some people.

I wish pubbies would at least try to protect Mercy when she is being targeted.

Mercy is a huge pain in the rear end to actually kill because she can just jet off somewhere else instantly. It's not like just shooting the Medic in TF2. I can understand why people don't try to shoot her instead of the giant fat pig man she's healing

This made me laugh pretty hard. We steamrolled this guy's team and he wasn't really a big fan of the hero choices his team made:



Also jesus christ Junkrat is so good. He's good in loving any situation. His tire is ridiculous if you can get it behind enemy lines without getting shot. His whole toolkit is so much fun. He's easily one of the most interesting characters in the game, TF2 Demoman ain't got nothin on this guy

So basically, the Chinese Overwatch community is now trying to spread out his story and, if it's possible, to have Blizzard's attention to this story of the heroic Overwatch fan, who never had a chance to play Overwatch. They hope Blizzard could in some way fulfill the young man's wish, maybe leaving vestiges of him in their games like they did in WoW (multiple memorial NPCs) and Hearthstone (the story behind Dreadsteed).

The young man, Hongyu Wu, tried to chase a motorcycle thief by riding behind him, and ended up with getting knocked off his own vehicle by the thief.

We did a capture objective A then B map tonight and it took us like 1 minute to capture both. We just ran to the first one capped it then ran to the second one. I have no idea what the other team was doing.

Another map the other team had 4 D.Va's and they tough as hell, couldn't take the objective.

Who were the other two? Because 4 D.Va's shouldn't be a problem for Junkrat/Phara

cock hero flux posted:

They're very different characters because Zarya is an actual Tank and is good at saving teammates and herself from damage with her shields and then punishing enemies who try to fight through them where Roadhog is really a Defence hero that has a lot of HP and is good at catching enemies out of position and then murdering them.

A loving Roadhog literally hooked me as I was about to point blank some rockets into Bastion's face which allowed the Bastion to just unload into me and I couldn't do anything about it. That was pretty :wtf:

Sure, they could lower her health, reduce the charge speed of the sniper, reduce her FoV even more, nerf quickscoping, nerf the mg portion, make her reload more often... Those are a few I can think of without nerfing her sniping damage.

The best counter to widowmaker is to use bastion and pin down where she's positioned. Spend a few minutes climbing up stairs and sneaking up behind her undetected and then wait for her to scope and start picking off your teammates.

When you're sure she's distracted get right behind her, switch to turret mode and shoot her right in the fanny. If you can keep the crosshair on her for about 0.9 seconds, she'll drop like a rock every time.

Sneak up on a character... as Bastion

So I jut got the game and I'm realizing that after over a decade of not playing PC shooters I utterly suck with the mouse and have no more reactions.

Which hero should I work on first till I shake off some rust? I've been using Pharah, D.Va, and Reaper because they seem to require less aiming ability but still so far I'm 1/10. I want to focus on one hero till I at least learn the maps.

Junkrat. He requires no skill. I don't mean that in a bad way, a good Junkrat will destroy you but he doesn't require precise aiming and his explody balls can bounce off walls and around corners and stuff
