The thirst. Undecided if I should pre-order the legendary edition digitally since the prices are pretty lol here (€75 retail. €69 digital on console. €59 on PC) or wait and see if a store has a retail deal. You can sometimes get games for €20 less by buying from certain stores but it's a crapshoot at best.

toku · « **Reply #242 on:** May 20, 2016, 02:03:21 PM »

Dunno if its a worldwide thing but if you have amazon prime all game pre-orders get like 20% off. So you could do the Origin Edition for like $45 instead of 60.

Looks pretty fun, makes you use all the characters at least, and will force others to play other characters as well

I have to hand it to Blizzard, they really nailed the MOBA experience. After just one game of playing support I profoundly loathed every single person I was paired with in solo queue.

At least instead of playing support for the heaviest of carries with awful skill builds and item progression I'm playing support for teams with 2x Widowmakers.

You can put in a support ticket. Blizz said on the forums they will give refunds up to 14 days after release

I got hella skins from loot boxes last night. Not sure if I have the best RNG luck or what. I think I may have to start using Zenyatte and Widowmaker more because of them haha.

Zarya secret top tier. Completely rolled on a team trying to throw bodies into the control point because people forget she exists, he shields are great and her particle beam has range for days so you can just wipe Junkrat tyres out.

Just missed out on a POTG to a D.Va ult tho

I missed out on POTG as her when I landed an ultimate on the point that took out 3+ people (3 direct kills, 1 assist I want to say?) in favor of a Soldier 76 killing 2 people when we were at 99% and the victory was fait accompli.

Now I know what the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War felt like.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #273 on:** May 24, 2016, 03:14:45 PM »

potg really needs some fixing

whole game is about teamwork but potg is all kills

which lvl are you guys?

Take My Breh Away · « **Reply #274 on:** May 24, 2016, 04:13:04 PM »

Yeah, POTG feels busted at the minute. I Got a Mercy POTG for a 3 person revive after a Pharrah barrage in front of the payload end point stopping the other team from winning on the Gibraltar map. But not for YOLO soloing a control point in Overtime with Mercy, eliminating the other teams two players holding the point with her blaster, then popping revive ult on my teammates to cap the point (A Hanzo got it for SHOOTING AT A FUCKING WALL. The salt overfloweth).

Or a POTG for getting a drop shot head shot on a Widowmaker across the map with Tolbjorn's rivet gun (Holy shit that's fun).

Only one of the issues that needs fixed, really. It's hard to tell what is clutch play and there are some new categories added from the open beta like a deny on the payload ("Showstopper", they call it). But It's still rewarding multi kills and streaks over more skill based plays.

Bastion shows up sometimes. But his playstyle has mostly been downloaded, Tracer wrecks his shit and a lot of times you can get better mobility out of Tolbjorn instead and be free to defend your turret. Molten Core ult is super handy when then point gets busy in a control point match.

I've seen a shitload of people using Tracer, at least on Xbox, last night though. Had a payload match where I played Mercy where two guys picked Tracer, another picked Reinhardt and we just rolled as a unit with the Reinhardt player shield to push the payload, I held behind healing everyone and the two Tracers took the flanks and watched from behind. It was like Pubstomping.

Now if only Symmetra wasn't so fucking useless.

Quote from: Dufus on May 25, 2016, 06:38:09 AM

I had a Bastion on my team and before the capture point was open and people started approaching, we were in a corner and I was Mercy, healing him. We were both sitting there and I was just watching incredulously as he mowed down the entire team when they were unaware he was shooting from behind.

You were healing someone that wasn't getting shot at? Dufus

If you like class shooters, yeah. Especially since TF2 has died on consoles and the class updates for that ruined it on PC.

My major problem with Overwatch though is that unlike TF2, it gets kinda old really fast (for me). It's not a bad game, it's just replay-ability isn't there for me right now.
