the rumor mill has release pegged for 5pm PST on monday may 23rd. officially it releases on the 24th, and usually blizzard does server maintenance and restarts on tuesdays at 3AM PST. so the may 23rd time might be wrong, but blizzard hasn't denied it or given any clarification as far as i know. so it's very possible that the release will be in 96 hours!so sit back and enjoy the next 4 days as i flood this thread with memes and content stolen from r/overwatch.

5 minutes of gameplay featuring Mercy. awesome comeback with 15 revives in the last few minutes. being able to rez your team is awesome, and this guy was able to do some DPS in there too. personally i found in the beta that no one expects Mercy to fight back and will straight up turn their backs on you if they think there's a more prominent threat. getting kills was easy, but keeping up healing at the same time is what'll take skill. most players i saw didn't even switch to their pistol, but, i think as players get gud they'll start seeing Mercy as a more immediate threat and ganking people might be harder down the road.lost soul joined in and replied with this 10 years ago, 1 minute later, 32 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #682,826

that's too bad. PC gaming is the most fun, imo. but, i like having absolute control over my hardware and i can see how that doesn't interest everyone. like at the moment i'm highly considering building a server and hosting 2 VM's with dedicated GPUs for multiheaded gaming. it's really not all that hard, but i'd be doubling up on everything and running at least 3 HDs and i'd be paying out the nose for a oct-core i7. for much *much* less money i can just build a second gaming PC with more appropriate hardware and probably end up with better performance anyway. it sounds like a pretty sweet idea, but i'm questioning the utility of it.
that being said i really want to build a new PC and i'm trying to come up with any excuse i can to do it.

it's got some similarities. it's an objective based shooter, so it's not a run-and-gun rambo style kind of game. more like you'll be sticking near your team and working to accomplish goals with them as a team, rather than just a bunch of people who accomplish goals despite each other not working together. there are 4 classes, tank, healer, support, and damage. each class brings different utility and they all have unique gameplay.
games are generally pretty quick, and between matched there's a lobby system. so it's basically an instant-action objective-based shooter ala team fortress 2, but with 21 characters and more abilities and a super-attack. there's no DLC and no "progression" made through unlocks of higher tier weapons. everyone has an equal playing field, no getting stomped as a noob by level 50 uber-machine guns like in Call of Duty. there will probably be a leaderboard and maybe a ladder system like Star Craft 2 so players can attain "progression" by improving their rank.
there's not much story and no single player campaign or anything, it's really only multiplayer games. the lore and story are out there in the webs, but it's not really a part of the game. the game is purely just about queuing and playing competitive PvP arenas. it was a lot of fun in beta and i usually don't go in for instant-action-arena-shooter since they're almost always just Team Deathmatch. but, overwatch is not just team deathmatch.

she's got a great Ult with the seeing through walls.
interestingly the Ults have a basis in common FPS hacks. Widowmaker's Ult is basically a wall hack. Tracer's teleport is basically a lag switch. Soldier 76 gets an aimbot for an Ult, and Reaper's is a Spinbot. this was even confirmed by the devs too, basically all the hero's have some kind of temporary hack ability either on Cooldown or on a meter.
it actually reminds me a lot of PvP arena's in WoW, but everything is way faster and everyone has much better mobility and TTK is a lot lower.

so i'm pretty fond of tracer. not the strongest guns, but her blink is excellent. blink into a group, drop her ult and back up time. boom. it's awesome. she's great at escaping in general. very fun to play.
i played with bastion a fair amount in beta. as a turret he's crazy strong. people like to get on top of the moveable objective and just ride along. with a tank up front it's a great strat.
still though, doing best with mercy. i fucking suck with tanks. i kept making reinhard fly off the map with his bulldozer ability. just awful

he's neat, but i haven't played with him yet. Zenyatta is his name. his ult is called transcendence and it makes him invulnerable and he heals allies. he also deals damage with the orbs with he can throw. you can "charge" the attack and hit with more orbs. he also buffs allies with an special orb of harmony and makes enemies take more damage with an orb of discord. the animations for it all are pretty cool looking too, and the healing is very-fast-multi-target healing rather than Mercy who's single target healing and slower. blizz has zenyatta rated as a more difficult healer to use than Mercy. i bet he's actually better, but mercy's ult is mass resurrection. it can be pretty clutch.
i've played a lot of games as mercy with zen in the group and we had heals for days and kept each other alive

@684,816 (button)
i played with zenyatta some today, he's fun. he does pretty decent damage and his buff/debuff abilities are great. the damage debuff is global so everyone does more damage to debuffed targets. and the heal is a heal-over-time and can be applied at full health to work as damage comes in. it does need to be reapplied when the buff is over but there were plenty of times i was able to buff everyone right before a big fight and keep them buffed throughout.
also, the buff/debuff orbs track targets and can be thrown long distances. all you need is line of sight while casting and it'll proc.
the attack orbs (basically your "gun") are ray-cast like a gun would be so you need to maintain line of sight and track targets to damage them. so it's a pretty fun playstyle.
i dislike having a heal on left-shift because i spam it a lot, that's my only complaint. otherwise i like him as a healer. much more aggressive than mercy, probably more survivable since he does more outright damage.

and she obviously hasn't even played it to see that widowmaker's taint is visible. she's just jumping on the sjw bandwagon that tracer is sexualized without even looking at the context. widowmaker has lingerie skins for god's sake.
but you don't gain a twitter following by not tweeting about the scandal-of-the-day.

that fucking dwarf, holy shit is he fucking OP. i single handedly shut down an entire team with 1 dwarf. i just cut off one path into a bottleneck and dropped a turret and ended up with a 25 kill streak and didn't die the entire match. their entire team had to abandon that path and tried to push the other side, but the other 5 on my team were harassing them so bad and putting so much pressure on them they couldn't even round the corner. the last 5 minutes of the match was nothing but Reinhardts trying to bust the corner to suicide charge me because when they did round the corner i was there and would Ult on them and my turret would obliterate everything.
they did destroy my turret more than once, but hell, they're free. i just dropped another one. he is really, really, really good on defense when you have time to get into position and set up. he has clutch saved several games for me when we've got minutes left and the enemy is right on top of their last objective. and people get super pissed when you get POtG with him because it's always your turret getting kill after kill after kill (even though it's really your turret placement that is getting all the kills. turrets are pretty weak and easy to kill when they are placed poorly.) anyway, he's one of my favorite go-to defense heros. i should probably learn Hanzo too, he seems quite strong. but you have to charge his weapon (pull back the bow) every shot and it seems like you play it slower and more carefully. like a sniper. and i kinda like heros more like tracer who is zip-zip-zip-twitch-twitch-twitch-rofl-lol-;D

i don't know really anything about the Ranked-competitive mode they'll be launching in a month or so, but i have a few guesses.First of all, yes there will be ranked competitive matches and there will be season and a ladder. just like SC2, just like WoW PvP arenas.
but, unlike SC2, Overwatch is not solo. so it'll very probably do teams similar to WoW Arena PvP.
basically you and your friends register as a team, and whenever you want you can all log in and play rated games against other premade teams.
if you do, like, super-duper well then there's kind of an end season kind of thing and you play a kind of rated ladder thing that makes your team play during certain days. So that's the only time a ranked team is required to play, otherwise it's more of a play-when-you-want kind of a thing.
And you can be on as many different ranked teams as you like, play with your friends, play with your guild, play with strangers. doesn't matter.
so if they end up doing teams like in WoW, AND if 6 people from minichan end up playing on PC then we could have a Minichan team.
i'm, like, 99% sure that's how it'll work. they might also give players the ability to queue with random players and play ranked games, in fact they probably will, but pre-mades are going to be stomping face.
seriously. i got stomped by a premade last night and they had a setup like i had where they just shut us the fuck down completely. at a bottleneck they had 2 reinhardts swapping shield cooldowns for 100% shield uptime to defend the 3 bastions they had on an elevated platform. their 6th was a healer. it was honestly unstoppable. it was like an SC2 strategy that becomes "standard" and there'll end up being a "standard" response to that (like all tracers to TP to the objective and just bypass their wall or something like that) but just like in any team game everyone needs to be on the same page and know the strats or it's a clusterfuck and you just lose.
i mean at least for ranked play. that's the cool thing about blizzard games, there's everything a casual could ever want and then some. aaaaall the way up to being as Hardcore a player as you want to be.
So, at the moment it's me and Hamfist. we just need 4 more players and we can play some ranked games and win some extra loot boxes and shit!
Hamfist is pretty awesome with the sniper, and i've been mostly playing support. everyone should learn at least a couple of each class and try and get decent with them, but it's totally fine to have a preference for one or a couple of heros. just know that midgame hero switching is very important and designed into the gameplay. you don't have to switch, but when you need to, you ought to. so we'll do best if everyone is comfortable with different roles.
we'll definitely need players who feel comfortable filling a primary damage role (if you're good/like at shooters, come play) but we'll also need one or two people who'd enjoy tanking. i'm learning, but i fucking suck at it. each situation kinda calls for different tanks, reinhardt is great at pushing when you get pinned down, Winston is great at scattering the enemy and busting hardened positions. D.VA is an offensive tank and sucks at defense, and i'm not sure exactly what the russian bodybuilder woman is good at. i'm mostly just paying attention to what hero tanks choose and on what maps.
but, if crushing people with a gigantic hammer, piloting a korean bi-pedal battle mech, or going ape shit with an actual 800 pound gorilla sounds like fun to you, then tanking in Overwatch might be right up your alley.

Overwatch is a blizzard game though. their audience is primarily PC and the competitive community will come from the PC crowd too. If they push it as an e-sport it'll all be played on PC at tournaments just like HoTS and all the rest. if it goes e-sport then yes, absolutely, the PC crowd will last much longer. if not, then who knows. be like diablo 3.

okay, lol. i can tank now. i read a post in reddit from a guy who said he'd been using Winston the Gorilla all wrong.Winston went from being "absolute junk" to my absolute favorite hero.
Holy shit was I playing him wrong in alpha/beta. This guy is an absolute beast scientist at dismantling enemy team cohesion. You can leap straight over their front line, land on their backline and spread them out, then just jump circles around the healer and channel death rays in their face. It takes the coordinated efforts of a couple damage dealers to bring him down, and that's if he doesn't use the bubble shield well.
The bubble shield is the banana and peanut butter of Winston's kit. Holy hell can he live forever if you use the shield effectively.
he goes on, but the point of it is that Winston performs a very specific function. he doesn't just soak damage, he's highly mobile and can completely stop your opponents from maintaining a strong hold. if you do what the redditor suggests then you can break their otherwise unbreakable hold. you jump behind them, which knocks them back when you land, then you drop your shield and hop around and make them chase you. your weapon deals AOE (group) damage and works when leaping and jumping so just spam the fuck out of that and rampage around. Best to combine with your Ult, you throw down your gun and rage and just go nuts with your fists and knock everyone around and deal massive damage.The bubble shield is the banana and peanut butter of Winston's kit. Holy hell can he live forever if you use the shield effectively.
Winston can clear an entire camped objective, and at least he can cause so much harassment that your DPS can move in and take out turrets and make a push.
but, pushing is what reinhardt is best at. that and holding. i used reinhardt to clutch save a game when i used his shield to protect a bastion holding an objective. we'd just stopped an insanely fast push from them, and our tank was playing as Zaria and doing nothing to slow them down. they eventually brought out a Winston but it was too late. i pretty much just stood there and held his shield up. we held the high-ground so they weren't able to get anything like a bastion or a dwarf turret into place before out bastion and dwarf turret killed them. but, without reinhardt any number of Ults could have one-shot our clutch DPS. it was pretty awesome, reinhardt makes you feel like a big man.
D.VA, i think, has a specific function too. not only does she do decent DPS, but it's entirely sustained. she has infinite ammo and doesn't reload. you can spam your guns from the start of the round to the finish. all it does is slow you down as you're firing. she can briefly fly (more like she has rockets on her back that burn for 3-4 seconds which propel her in the direction she's facing. looking up makes her fly up. she also generates a modest front facing shield for a few seconds. enough that it can make the difference between living and dying.
her ult is weird, she ejects from her mech and after a couple of seconds it explodes killing everyone around. what i see a lot of D.VA players do is kinda point "up" and "at" the enemies, fire her rockets so the mech launches into the air, then eject from it. the mech then goes flying up into the air, and then comes down and lands near your opponents, well, crashes near them. then it explodes and kills everyone. then D.VA does her second ult and gets a new mech. she's a lot of fun.
i've been using D.VA on maps where we're attacking. i bring her out first and use her speed to either get to an objective first, or to clear the initial checkpoint by focusing sustained fire on anyone trying to stop the payload. i think in those situations Winston is just slower. Unless you've got a Lucio on your team to give a speed buff in the beginning then i think D.VA might be the best choice for early game objective capture. I did try to use Winston for that on a few close maps, his leap get him there reasonably quickly, but i think he's maybe better at breaking a held checkpoint rather than capturing one. he was able to keep teams scrambling enough my teammates could catch the point, but i died doing it more than once. what i didn't die doing was busting up campers. and D.VA isn't the best at that. she's got to straight up kill them with her Ult. Winston can jump on in there and crack heads long enough your team can get into position and start killing them. it's beautiful really.
still haven't found a thing to do with Zaria. her Ult is only sometimes lethal. she can't do enough DPS to kill much of anything when she's alone, even with her Ult her gun didn't do much. it's gotta like charge up. she uses a shield and takes damage and that charges her laser so it does more DPS. evidently (i hear) that a charged up zaria can't be ignored, but pretty much she's not slowing anyone down and you can kinda just ignore her. when i play DPS (usually tracer, cause yeah!) when i see zaria i just zip past her and kill the healer and ignore the russian. as long as you don't shoot her she's a pushover. just get a junkrat to launch some grenades at her. lol.
anyway, i finally had some fun with tanking. all i had to do was stop trying to play them all the same. I also agree with the redditor that Winston is the most fun tank. when you use him like a gorilla, he's fun. i will add that crushing people with reinhardt's hammer is pretty satisfying too.

i just had a game as winston with 21 kills. he's really fun. first time i really felt my heart pounding in this game. he really IS the best hero for just fucking up teamwork. they can't ignore his knockbacks and you're all over the place so they scramble to deal with you. winston turns a 6v6 stalemate into two fights, a 3v1 and 5v3 which we will win if i kill the healer.
just like 5v5 wow arenas :)
i knew i was gonna like this game. it's really not a first person shooter. it's First Person Fighter or something like that. idk, calling it a shooter feels incomplete. there's more depth.

game just patched on PC. i've had very few problems, but i have had a few mid-game crashes. the biggest issue was that the launch was delayed almost half an hour, but after that it's been performing better than more then a few multiplayer game i've played on launch day. but, blizzard i think still hosts their own data canter and one thing i can say about WoW, for all it's faults, it's been the most consistently stable multiplayer game i've ever played. coming from PS3 back in the day i was shocked that i didn't get booted about every 15 minutes.
anyway, very minor hiccups so far in my experience. i'm sure in another month it'll be running as optimally as SC2 servers, WoW servers, HoTS servers, etc.

McCree may end up getting a nerf. at the competitive level teams are using dual McCrees because (at the top tier level) teams are using his Deadeye Ult to fakeout the other team and cause a scramble. then McCree cancels the Ult which returns half a charge. his Ult fast so you end up faking them out continuosly with dual McCrees. it's so strong (the fake out allows objective capture, etc) that teams that don't do it just lose (at the competitive level). that means 2 McCrees are standard and every team is required to roll that strat becuase of it. likely he'll get a nerf to energy return (down to 30% from 50%) and they may make his ult regen a tiny bit slower.
blizzard always balances their games off of high-tier competitive play. so if you love McCree play him while he's OP

played a bunch this weekend. level 36 now.
really have a new appreciation for mei. what an awesome crowd control hero. on some maps she is a fucking god. i just shut down an entire team with ice walls and blizzard ults. they couldn't even get close to capturing the objective. way more fun than Torb or Bastion for controlling enemy attack paths.
plus, everyone runs from Mei. people are legit scared of her. she is SO hard to 1v1 that the "counter" to Mei is "don't 1v1 her. lol. i had players just stop and turn around and jump away more than once. hard hitters too. she's fun, and really really strong on small objective capture maps and in tight streets.
got pretty good with pharah too. she's maybe the most fun offensive dps. again, on some maps she's shit, but on Illios she is a fucking nightmare to deal with. rockets from the sky for days. if i had better aim with rockets she'd be unstoppable.
really liking a bunch of heros i didn't think i'd like at first.

Also using bastion I jumped off a ledge at the same time as switching configuration and landed right in front of the entire enemy squad in turret mode and won play of the game
Also using tracer I got a 20 kill streak and didn't die once the entire match!

LOL just got finished with a match where we had a fucking bastion camping on our side of the map while we were attacking, and then roadhog could have gotten us overtime but he decided to get in an extra kill instead of, you know, helping the team

it's hard to find good team players. i've been playing with a irl friend and using discord and we're tanking and healing a lot.
yesterday we played a match and we went 3 reinhardt 2 torb and a lucio and pushed that car so fast. lol. the rage was palpable. at times we just put up 3 shields and rolled down the street watching snipers on roof tops roll by. it was hilarious.
we also got called cheap and i said, "i know." they said our comp was trash. i said, "beats y'alls."

reinhardt/mei is super on defense on king of the hill and capture maps. my friend would tell me where he wanted a wall and it let him recharge his shield. then i'd shut down flanks while he held the main route.
we won more matches last night than we lost, it was great. just a couple of people communicating is enough to make a solid defense. we're having trouble on attack only when we encounter a team with lots of turrets at a choke. if we see that comp, i'm sure you know the one, it's hard to break. especially when someone refuses to not use genji to attack A :/ if you can't get your flanker into their flanks, stop. get a door buster. genji is great on B, however. just sucks donkey balls at A, so don't start with him.

what's your battlenet name. that's the rule. you, me, ash and hamfist makes 4. we just need 2 more to field a team. i have 30+ hours in and know a bunch of ways to break chokes and hold objectives. the Minichan Overwatch Hero Society is going to be a reality. i can feel it.
oh, and game of the year. hands down. just watch. so post your name so we can add you and let's do this.

he's probably playing with ash right now... i bet it's ash. he won't add me either bhuton. it's like they think i can't contain the A objective with mei or break a turret hold with a game winning junkrat.
they probably just don't like winning

i know what you mean. i'm not all that great at shooters. i love team strategy games though, because often a little planning can crush pick-up-groups. and this game gives you an arsenal of heroes and each one is like a can-opener that solves specific problems. with WoW you get around 24 abilities and can only really use about half that at a time so your tool bag is huge and thorough, but unwieldy. this game solves that problem by splitting the tool bags up into unique heroes and allows teams to field about half of them at a time. pretty much each hero is a problem solver, and is excellent at their role. just playing them lets you do good things. aiming and clicking is only a very small part of the game, which is rare in shooters imo. it's about denying areas and holding ground as much as anything. it also forces teamwork and when a team works then everyone does great and it's awesome. team composition is going to beat a whole fucking lot, and them not countering is going to just win you the game.
but there's very deep strategy built into the maps. i have found excellent uses for every hero. even symettra who i think works like a DPSing mercy if you have a team that can really hold a choke very hard. really just very smart game design, and tbh i'm surprised it's as fun as it is. i really wasn't expecting it to be much more than a shooter with a payload map or two, but it turns out the thing is brilliant.

also, this is mei. i never really even talked about her because i thought she looked dumb. "oh, okay. ice girl. freeze ray. meh," i thought, "she's slow and it takes forever to freeze people." so i never paid any attention to her. but, it turns out she's the absolute very best area denial hero in the game. better than Torb, better than bastion. she's a defensive tank with her wall. on some maps she is very, very useful and can totally stop a push, deny flanking, deny Ults, and just shut teams down that don't put a stop to it. her wall can go up every 15 seconds, and if i pretty much keep it on cooldown then it tanks as well as reinhardts shield (of course friendlies can't shoot through it.) used on chokes it can deny entry or narrow the choke for turret fire almost indefinitely. played with any other tank (love roadhog to yank someone in and then i wall us up and we murder them. it's also terrifying and makes them scared to go through the choke) the pairing is almost unbreakable. tbh the only time we lose A on some maps is because i do something stupid and die when there's 30 seconds left.(Edited 2 minutes later.)

played at chokes, she rocks. she's also super survivable. she can't take a lot of damage, but she can Ice Block and become invulnerable and heal. then throw up another wall. she can escape from any kind of damage with ice block, then throw up a wall and run while slowing them. 1v1 with a mei can be brutal. on attack i've seen her used brilliantly to tank turrets while the tanks push, except for her Ult i don't see her being the most useful on attack. with the exception of King of the Hill maps. Played with a Lucio, on some KotH maps she can provide area denial enough to capture, then hold objectives for the win. she's great on a lot of maps, and truly exceptional on others.

her wall is really the most important thing in her kit. it can completely deny a push, and it can be used to split up groups and isolate players for a slaughter. it can block quite a few Ults and even propel players into the air. i love putting it under a tank and lifting him up above the choke for turrets to focus.mei is far and away my favorite hero at this point. no single player has more control over a map than one playing Mei on a map that favors her and when she's in a strong position.

also, i've never played anything like her. there's nothing like her in WoW. there's some similarities to some SC2 units and abilities, but WoW didn't have any kind of Area-of-Denial character like Mei. her abilities really set her apart. every other hero (except maybe mercy) is designed to stand up in a fight and engage with the enemy, but mei is the only one that can stop the fight entirely. she just doesn't want anyone to fight and puts a stop to it. her voice emote is stuff like, "everyone is counting on me," and "sorry, sorry, sorry." she doesn't want to hurt anyone. she just puts up a wall and makes everyone chill the fuck out for a minute.but, she will freeze you solid and shoot an ice sickle into your brain if you get her cornered.

find good hiding places for her teleporter and it's as strong as a mercy rez.
her attacks are pretty strong, and her secondary "blue balls" can shoot through reinhardt's shield. they move slow and you just have to step aside to not be hit, but it's a great way to force an enemy tank to reposition. her primary attack "weird twisty ray things" is great in close quarters, especially when slowed by her turrets. and her turrets are a very nice area-of-denial tool, but they are weak and only really punish out of position players and the careless.
she's very good whenever there is a long run back from spawn, defense on payload maps for the first 2 -3 checkpoints and KotH both attack and defense. she's good at covering flanks with turrets and can shut down attack paths like Mei, just without the same strength. mei doesn't need support, but symettra does. well, symettra is support, so she needs players to work with to be successful.

i played a few games with bhuton and our group got trash talked by a group who went 6 torb turret cheese. i've done that shit too. it's cheesey. but then we stomped them on dorado. well, we didn't stomp them, it was an excellent game. they were 3 feet from the last objective and we shut them down and pushed them back. they had some aggressive flankers but that got shut down when we put bastions in a couple of corners. fun game, long too. we had them stalled out more than once.

mei is now my most winningest hero. i've played fewer games with her than other heroes too. atm she's got a 70% win rate over like 40 games. she's also now got pretty much the best stats like weapon accuracy, eliminations, solo kills and objective time.
i think most people don't play her, because they sure don't know how to stop her. but, her role is "to be hard to get past" and boy is she good at it.
