Overwatch

Post by Pewps »

Has anyone been playing?

I think it's okay I guess. There's a pretty big power disparity between a few of the characters. Pretty much every game I've had has had a Bastion "Play of the Game". You can literally just roll around as a tank and get kills ezmodo. And then you have characters like Zenyatta, even if you play a fuggin 10/10 game you still come out kind of mediocre.

I really want to play Zenyatta

I ended up playing Mercy for like 3 hours because no one wants to play support, ended up having a pretty alright time with her. Her dart gun is pretty good. I had Crimson get on Bastion and I used my damage boost on him and he got an 18 kill streak

I also really hate not having a Reinhardt on my team, that shield is so nice

i played all last week got to level 20. At first I thought the turret/drawf classes were OP too but the more I played the more balanced it seemed. It's true that a few characters have the advantage for Play of the game though.

I played it a bit over the open beta weekend. D-VA best character. Junk Rat close second. Pity I was awful at it.

I usually play as Tracer and am pretty solid. I like Widow, the sniper, a lot too.

I'm surprised more people don't play as Reinhardt. He's extremely easy to play, and is pretty satisfying, and assuming you're not a complete retard you'll always be a credit to team.

Also I wish they'd just delete Lucio from the game. I hate looking at him, I hate hearing him and I hate being around him. And I keep getting loot for him.

I liked the first 2 animated shorts. 3rd one was pretty bad.

It was fine but I'm not sure why people are pretending it isn't the most generic asian themed thing ever.

I'm tired of being pigeonholed into tank and support roles because the rest of my team wants to be Reaper and Widowmaker.

They need to just give Zenyatta 200 health, drastically reduce Mei's range and reduce the range of Torbjorn's turrets

Also make Genji's ninja stars go JUST A LITTLE BIT FASTER, OR make them travel in a straight line with no drop/spread, I'd take either

I guess McRee counters her decently with flashbang + fan the hammer but I'm not a huge fan of playing him and I can't really rely on other McRees to do it

Widowmaker's a decent counter by virtue of her range. I find Mei's mostly a problem when she appears out of goddamn nowhere and you're already frozen before you can do anything.

Really wish they'd add a Team Deathmatch already. I'm kind of tired of playing objective based stuff and I just want to kill stuff.

I also can't tell you how tired I am of people choosing Genji who absolutely do not know how to play him.

Lucio or whatever the Brazilians name is seems like the easiest character to be good at.

Easiest character for your team to spread out and die one by one though.

Symmetra's pretty fun. I like not having to aim.

I got a PoG as Zenyetta without killing anyone. No idea how that works.
