I didn't want to belabor the point but there's the whole the medic is from Switzerland thing which loses its quaint Blizzardian "on the nose" quality if she's just German... same thing as thinking of our Australian contingent (which includes a criminal and a survivor of the irradiated wasteland of the Outback) are just British (even if the Queen is on their fake Australian money).

On a completely unrelated note, never say Blizzard is in any way remotely creative.

Also, the swiss flag looks like a medpack if you switch the colours around.

On a related note, when they introduce a report feature to this game it's because of me. I've gone full HoNtrash already.

To be fair, Switzerland is one of the few countries which wasn't even briefly "German" in the '40s.

yes they were busy storing all those gold teeth the nazis robbed

This game definitely gonna hit F2P, and will fade off for Console.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #363 on:** May 27, 2016, 12:17:44 PM »

F2P is what I'm waiting for, the hooks for it are already present and thus I think selling it at all is kind of a weird call but hey get that paper.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #364 on:** May 27, 2016, 12:43:42 PM »

I got play of the game and was dead the whole clip. What a way to show off the amazing eliminations I did...

Still loving it even with it's flaws. Console games don't normally get on the mic unless they are playing COD or GTA in which cases you might as well not be playing those games because those folks are trash. I've gotten into a few matches with people that talk things out, but it's not natural and always seems forced.

I hear Symmetra is a monster if you play her right, might try her for a while.

Trying to learn Winston but you need team talk to use him well from what I've noticed so far. Very coordination focused.

Won my first match, winston is pretty simple, even hit some multi leaps. Think I flailed around too much during his ult though

My new favorite thing is spamming Mei's "Sorry sorry sorry I'm sorry sorry" line after ever kill or effectively crippling the enemy push.

Been playing arcade and it's like all Reinharts all the time up in there. I seriously was in a match where we couldn't even leave the spawn area. I honestly think it should be one of each hero in a match, but that's me. It feels better balanced than the way it really is.

eleuin · « **Reply #390 on:** May 29, 2016, 10:21:40 AM »

Lucio and Mercy are pretty good, guess nobody wants to play them because its just inherently harder to get POTGs

Unless someone in my stack who absolutely sucks (like the guy who picks Lucio just to knock people off ledges and not support at all) gets it.

demi · « **Reply #396 on:** May 29, 2016, 03:21:59 PM »

I love playing Zarya, probably my favorite tank. Figured out that when you give your team a shield, that shield buffs you as well. Gonna try for the "Stay above 70 power" achievement. I always run directly in the line of fire (thanks Bastion) and have them charge me up, then skitter away.

The black hole ult is amazing at clearing a group at the payload / capture point. Just make sure theres actual people with you to help clean up....

toku · « **Reply #397 on:** May 29, 2016, 03:57:41 PM »

my favorite tank as well but I do feel like she works best if you're team is offense hero heavy especially the assassin types. You want to build easy? mind your genji/tracer/mcrees and try to get a bubble on them everytime you see them about to push in.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #398 on:** May 29, 2016, 04:15:17 PM »

Definitely a fun offensive tank although either I have an awesome game with her or a complete shit game. Very little in between for some reason.

How? Lucio is autopilot support, just press E periodically. Press Q during push.

A tank has to have the support of his team to push so if you aren't in a group tanking can be annoying.

I take back what I said about Symmetra. Didn't realize at the time that you could spam her drones. Her close range attack drains enemies energy pretty quickly too.

I'm coming around on Zarya also. Her beam is pretty strong once its charged.
