Blizzard Overwatch

Been playing this since I got invite on December. Game is a ton of fun.

If you guys doing a SRK team I’m up for it.

Joined a random premade game, where people were using voice chat extensively. I gotta say, shit got real and extremely fun! People going fucking tactical over this shit, LoL!

lol, finally got my first play of the game ever by using Reinhardt and basically ulting/killing the entire team.

also this was an epic mei play

damn, Im just gonna link the gifv because the forum doesnt recognize it

Just tried Mei out last night. She’s pretty fun and seems pretty good.

Enjoying the fun and man even in defeat it feels good. Damn you Blizzard!!!

That Mei shit would have made me salty as all fuck. Shit was epic

Balancing this game is going to be a shitshow if they don’t just split up balance priorities for console and PC. Right now a big chunk of the current meta that I’ve seen on streams is that McCree players just aren’t missing heads, and he shuts down a lot of choices by himself even after nerfs. To the point where people are playing less Pharah who was much more popular initially, and by extension playing less Mercy. That’s not something you have to deal with on console, and if you make him too weak he’ll feel useless outside of competitive play.

Yeah, don’t mix consoles and PC…

I don’t remember which FPS did it in the past, but console players were getting rekt like no tomorrow. I think they stopped the merge soon after.

To be fair, everyone should have a PC that can run Overwatch on minimal settings. The game is designed to be as accessible as possible. Potato PCs should be able to run the game with little issue.

The Shadowrun shooter did that.

McCree wrecked my Pharah today hardcore lol

So from what I understand, AOE in Overwatch does full damage as long as you’re in the blast radius? That seems very strange to me, considering that isn’t normally the case in most FPS titles. Pretty annoying to instantly die to Junkrat’s ult even though you barely got clipped by the AOE.

They buffed the radius of it from what I remember, trade off was that if you destroyed the tire it won’t go off instantly anymore.

Was it like “Justice rain from” -get shot? If so i feel your pain :bawling:.

Torn between Widowmaker, Genji, and JUSTICE!

Sexy :cool:

exactly, haha. Mcree is pretty strong, I saw a good video showcasing his gameplay that made sense, since I hadn’t played him

How big do you feel Overwatch will be? I’m thinking about making it the primary game i stream on Twitch. But if it’s super saturated i may have to reconsider.

As someone that enjoyed Destiny MP for a while, can anyone with experience in that as well tell me how they feel about this game relative to that? Or if you feel there can be literally no comparison aside from guns, that’s fine, just gimme your thoughts.

…Genji, Tracer, Bastion, and D.va look the most fun to me. I played Hunter and tried to focus on using blink and mid-short range in general, and I have always love Mechwarrior, so yeah lol

I feel like it will be pretty big. There hasn’t really been an enjoyable, not super serious FPS game since TF2… and Overwatch has potential to be pretty neat in possible competitive play (I think the current game modes are kinda jokes for competitive play though).

Mei ult needs a slight nerf I think. Once you’re caught in it, even on the edge of the AOE, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be frozen. Maybe an AOE nerf, time needed to be frozen, or movement speed slow change to make it a bit less harder to deal with.
