FYI, there is a 200mb patch to download if you are like me and haven't opened Battle.net since the beta ended. I don't know if I would want to try downloading it the same time as a million people this evening but maybe it won't matter.

Zenyatta rules but especially against teams with more than one tank on them. I love soloing some Winston multiple times because he doesn't realize the amount of damage he is taking.

Try playing him almost like a ranged offensive hero instead of following people around giving them your balls. He is super fun.

Solo matchmaking feels like it is getting worse by the day. I don't know why exactly but so many games feel completely one-sided and I'm getting poo poo like 2 Bastions on offense for a map and it is getting sort of frustrating.

I think Dorado is really fun and also probably has my favorite motif out of all of them. It gets bonus points for having the Futurama bells.

My least favorite map so far is probably Hanamura since it feels like the first point is way too hard to get into. I've had a few games there where the first push gets stopped and the offense just sits near the doorway and just tries to pick people off the rest of the round like it was 2fort or something.

Managed to get both points on hanamura in 1:26 which was highly amusing

In solo queue Egypt I think I lost both points in under a minute but that was probably because our team was 6 Widows all standing on the same ledge.

I was on a 4 or 5 Winston team once and it was actually pretty legit. You can hop around and nuke people and turrets down instantly. The combo of mobility and pure HP and not really having to aim in a crowd probably make it the best cheesy gimmick lineup.

I don't know if this is controversial or anything but I think Bastion is the only garbage hero in the game. Not garbage in super unbalanced, just fun killing and boring. All the other ones are super interesting and offer something unique even if they obviously borrow from something else in the genre,, which is pretty remarkable for a FPS game made in tyool 2016.

No, just about three seconds later to the thing which effortlessly killed the mech in the first place. Or if you're lucky, you can get away and spend the next 30 seconds plinking away trying to get the mech back, meanwhile your team is short a character which could be doing anything at all better than pilot-form D.Va.

D Va without the mech is still pretty good

I think Symmetra is really good on Numbani because there are lots of little areas to setup your death room and that first point being such a bitch for most teams makes a teleporter seem really strong.

After reaching level 30 I have determined that the most fun heroes in the game are:

1) Mei
2) D Va
3) Roadhog
4) Mercy

Zen would be up there if he were a bit faster he just feels slow as hell.

Thanks for reading my list.

I feel it's usually worse on offense, yeah. Payload is fine except when your team kinda...doesn't care that there is a payload???? and they just run forward trying to flank badly while you die trying to contain their advance??????? Defense you just get outplayed by teams with actual coordination and tactics, or better aim.

Hanamura is the worst for this because if they get stopped one time pushing in then everyone just hangs out at the big doorway and does nothing. It has become the only map that makes me sad when I see it on the loading screen.

I think my favorite thing about this game is interrupting Pharah's ult with a Hanzo headshot. "JUSTICE RAINS FROM AB-......".

I like hooking a Reaper just when he starts his ult, preferably before he gets the first DIE all the way out.

I legitimately don't know what just happened going 46/0 on Iilos as D.Va just now. I have never had a good game with this hero, then suddenly the best round I'll probably ever have.

Everyone was around level 40ish but it felt like playing against easy AI. I did nothing but boost behind their push and mow them down from behind. Figured it would work once, maybe twice, but it ended up working about six times.

;)

I had two amazing games in a row (as D Va coincidentially) and then get switched into a server trying to support a team that inexplicably walks into a Bastion turret one at a time over and over until I just gave up and quit out. I don't think I've ever played a game like this that feels so swingy between and during each game. Maybe that is a good thing in some ways but it feels mainly like a function of not having matchmaking system yet more than anything.
