Alright, Mei is my favorite to play as now. Everything about her fits my playstyle. Freezing people is so much fun, especially those pesky flies Tracers. Her ultimate is amazing in any heavily contested capture the point games. Overall I like a lot of the characters even though I didn’t try them all extensively.
Thought Junkrat was crack… Then I picked up Tracker after finally getting used to her movement. Jesus they gave her everything she needs to be hard to kill. Being super annoying is fun as fuck! She really is a walking mixup.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a game after a beta than this. I haven’t enjoyed a shooter as much as Overwatch since UT2K4, CSS, and COD4
Played a lot on the PS4 open beta and was pretty addicted to the game. I don’t like playing FPS’ in general so was surprised at how much fun I had with this game. I don’t think I have a strong enough PC to run Overwatch but aiming on controller sucks so I can’t use Tracer properly but I found her the most fun. I should check if Overwatch on PS4 supports mouse & keyboard.
Learned the basics for the majority of my cast and ended up gravitating towards Pharah/Solider76 for offense, Tjoborn for builder, Lucio/Mercy for healing, and Reinhardt for Tank. I wanted to mess around with Zenyatta some more but he seemed like a character that only shines when you have proper team comp and coordination rather than solo queue with randoms.
I really like the various team comps people come up with at various strategies but you can tell certain characters really shine on certain maps and modes. I’m sure everyone who played the closed betas got the same feeling when they first tried the game out and after a while the game might be stale for them.
Definitely looking at picking this up on launch, regrettably on PS4, but would mostly be interested if we could get groups going.
