Why would anyone not play tracer, you get to win every fight you pick and leave the ones you don't, its like playing scout but with more speed and escapes.

Seriously why even bother giving noobs a bunch of press q get kills abilities when you have characters that can clown over almost everyone else?

TF2 has a bunch of alternate weapons that you have to grind for or make yourself with a stupid roulette crafting bullshit system, so you might have to play for a really long time just to get the moves you want to use

Overwatch lets you use every move and weapon in the game immediately

I guess just letting you play in a way you find fun without having to do chores first is casual bitchmode?????????

They do it that way so that new players can get used to how classes work first without being assaulted with 20 alternate weapons right out of the gate, and also sites have existed since the trading system was introduced that allow you to 1:1 trade any weapon you don't want with any other weapon automatically. You get these items multiple times a day. so yea you're kind of a bitch lol

oh okay you don't have to do chores you just have to get trading fodder and go on some external web site and set up trades instead of just playing the game. this is better because it doesn't overwhelm you with too many weapons at once which is difficult and confusing and therefore super casual

TF2 always had this accomplished sense of humor, like it's actually endearingly funny a lot of the time. It was always a case of like "we hope you like this?" And then valve really over delivering. With overwatch I get this sense of "...You're gonna LOVE this. (Smugface)" and it's just a worse TF2?

Like, they've done a series of "meet the..." videos fit the characters, except instead of being funny, they've tried to be emotionally manipulative instead. Like, the introduction for "Soldier 76" who is basically a 90s, deadpool level "COOL DUDEŠ" doesn't really feature him at all (because where's the shmaltz) so instead it's about some poor favela girl buying milk for her mum...

yeah. tf2 nailed it because they somewhat understood strangelove/military industrial complex/cold war humor and focused on that and it ended up just sharp as a tack. I see overwatch screenshots and im like ok, there are western cowboys and a samurai and an angel and a wow dwarf, what the gently caress is your notion here

paying 60$ to play a beta.

are open betas even a thing that companies do anymore or did they all realize that morons will pay them for the privilege of testing their game?

If you are a twitch shooter there are characters for that style, but there are also characters that require basically no aim at all but can't headshot

I thought I disagreed with the "TF2 has good humor and stuff" posts until I realized I actually liked all the stuff they put out until I subscribed to r/tf2 (yeah yeah) and saw tons of lovely POOTUS SANDVICH

Also agreed that the TF2 aesthetic is unique and good as opposed to "wow ninjas and monkeys" but everyone knows Blizzard has a twelve year old boy's idea of what's cool

I'm not sure if it was the original Terran marine or Raynor concept art that looked like a middle school notebook scribble with way cool skulls and leather bits and stuff
