Whats the outrage with the microtransactions? It's just skins and sprays.

Seriously if you can't handle not having such crap then seek help.

So much outrage a company came up with a business model that will ensure they make money and provide long term support without splitting the player base with paid DLC map packs etc.

I sometimes wonder what all these outraged people do for work.

People will always have to have something to bitch and moan about. I'm all for other people wasting their money on cosmetics so I can get free content. More power to those fools. I loved it in Halo 5 too.

Tanked 30k damage on Kings row, but we got locked down meters from the last point with 2 bastions. Our two snipers were worthless.

Git gud

Nah, just kidding. Needs a better sound cue for the opponent team so they know the other team's Widow popped her ult so people so people don't blind rush around corners. Your team will do it anyway because they are fucking idiots, but it would be progress. It's small bits and tweaks they need to make like no flash/fan combos on tanks for McCree players. Maybe buff up some weaker characters like Winston to be a little more dangerous.

The only one who would maybe need a bigger rework is Symatrea as while you can deal some damage out by stacking turrets around flank exit points and watching as everyone wipes out while on Payload defense (And it's fucking hilarious). I've played her a lot, she's fun and I had a great match on anubis where my team got stomped on the first control point, but the second point we were able to hold off because of the turret and armor set ups I was helping put out, but she's low tier as all hell because she dies so easy and she's only got one gimmick going for her. She's only really useful in the first few checkpoints of Payload defense and fucking horrible in every other game mode because she dies quickly and her turrets are more of a slowdown than an outright kill unlike Tolbjorn. I'd maybe change her primary to a single laser bolt instead of the tether to work like a Shock Rifle in UT. Low damage on the single bolts but knock back on a shock combo as at least a "GTFO" option for players who are stuck in a 1 on 1.

I basically fill up my friends list with people on xbox live now who play overwatch and build a crew when I get on.

Today there weren't a lot on so I had to find some extra randoms. I played with an awful group headed by this annoying dude who thought he was a strategic general and kept telling everybody who to play and how to play. We lost every game. It was so painful.

Damage decrease from 70 to 45
Time before reloading decrease from 0.75 seconds to 0.3 seconds (Probably reverse patch form this)

Base damage decrease from 15 to 12 (damage multiplier from charging doesn't change)
Headshot damage multiplier increase from x2 to x2.5

Bug Fixed

Improve custom game "High bandwidth Mode" stability

Running into more payload/point capture matches where the losing team brings out the bastion/torbjorn army at the last checkpoint and holds it down for like 10 minutes while my struggling team can't do shit and everyone death-cycles till the match is over.

What about this adjustment-- 2 reinhardts, 2 Pharahs, and 2 Mercys to dmg boost the pharahs and heal as needed. I play solo pubs for the most part, but I think tonight I'll just yell that into the mic if I run into that. and then no one will listen, but I think it's a good idea.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #515 on:** June 17, 2016, 12:33:09 PM »

No way in the world I could play this game solo. The rage would be real. Its just about real in groups.

Beezy · « **Reply #516 on:** June 17, 2016, 12:42:13 PM »

I play solo all the time with no mic and my win ratio is better than most of my friends on Live. I haven't been on that many shitty teams. And I'm usually one of the last people to choose who to play as because I try to pick a character to complement the rest of my team or to fill a role that it doesn't have.

It's definitely possible to win solo because when you play with groups you go against groups. So in that sense each match is very competitive and often difficult. But I would find the lack of co-ordination unbearable. It's hard enough to co-ordinate with a group of friends. In solo games it often feels like luck for me when one team wins or loses and that's a feeling I don't really like. Or when a team is running Bastion's and my solo team just keeps running in and feeding him his ultimate. It's just not for me but I understand especially with time commitments being what they are, why people play solo.

Beezy · « **Reply #519 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:02:57 PM »

People who don't switch characters are easily the worst teammates. Those people usually play Widowmaker.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #520 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:03:12 PM »

My favorite aspect of overwatch when playing with a group is the humble bragging people do about their K/D sometimes after we lose. Since I play the tank, I'm very much aware of when people push with me and when they don't.It's very easy to pad out a kd in this game but not play properly because you don't push with your tank and those kills end up being meaningless. People never change.

kick51 · « **Reply #521 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:08:22 PM »

"we don't need 3 widows on Hollywood attack, someone switch"

"fuk u"

solo's surprisingly not too bad on pc. occasionally losing streaks happen because you keep getting put on shit teams. I'm around level 60 now, so it seems like I'm getting into games mostly with people who can function solo while making decent teamplays and char switches. I'm starting to get more proactive about saying helpful stuff on mic, since there isn't much communication. I think it'll be a bit better when competitive mode is out. Right now everyone's just learning.

Kara · « **Reply #522 on:** June 17, 2016, 01:49:42 PM »

I pray every day for a draft mode in this game because I'd first ban Widowmaker every game. Never have I been grateful to have someone playing her.

Hopefully the mode would punish early leavers too.

Beezy · « **Reply #523 on:** June 17, 2016, 02:13:51 PM »

Won a game on Anubis last night because the defending team decided to celebrate too early. Within the last 30 seconds they all rushed away from the checkpoint to kill what was left of my team. This was more to the right side of the map. While they were doing that I sped through the left passage as Lucio with his speed boost and captured the checkpoint myself. I should've gotten play of the game for taking advantage of their stupidity.

Keep running into a few obnoxious bugs

-After getting dropped for idling (don't understand why this is a thing during setup, let me take a piss between rounds ffs), I get dropped from the next game joined should I not choose my character before the idle timer runs out
-Have gotten dropped from multiple games in a row because I evidently am in a game, but I'm still seeing the loading screen for the level
-The funniest and worst of them all, enemy and teammate models sometimes simply don't load. I can evidently still do damage to them, but even the weapon effects don't read the models (eg winstons lightning gun doesn't change direction, even though I'll evidently be hitting someone) though I can see enemies being targeted by my teammates/tors turret. I think I got a video of this last time it happened, so I'll throw that up soon.

My top 2 are Tracer and Mercy (the first char I learned and don't play much of anymore.) After that is Pharah, who I usually switch to once I've done what I can with Tracer, who can suck shit when the payload needs to move that last 4 feet and the other team steps up their def. Then...Symmetra apparently? I start with her on defense on King's Row and Hanamura only, basically. But I'm doing a lot more Reinhardt and Junkrat. Junkrat's a piece of shit who annoys the fuck out of me constantly as Tracer, so I figured he'd be fun to learn. Would like to get good with Genji. No damage drop off = Genji's like a sniping Tracer. but his melee is weird and floaty.

It would be a FPS MOBA if creeps and lanes were in the game, if the main goal was to destroy a key building next to spawn, and if currency was awarded in game to be used for items to build up or buff your character.

Its TF2 objectives with open ended TF2 styled maps, with heroes/characters replacing classes and loadouts.

kick51 · « **Reply #539 on:** June 20, 2016, 11:49:00 AM »

This game has always seemed like TF2 on crack, but then again, haven't spent one minute on a moba, which I thought was isometric view competitive tower defense with classes and objectives.
