Really enjoying playing a support character in this for some reason.
And HANZO!

yeah having huge amounts of fun with zenyatta, but he doesn't have as much healing output as mercy or lucio unfortunately

Mercy is my total fave. I've been running around shooting random people in the BUTT to charge them up, what's not to like?!

[mauri]

oh god this game is killing me. found myself still playing at 6 am yesterday.

Damnit. I need a gpu.

So... how do you see things WITHOUT a gpu? You software rendering to the bone?

I have a 4770 with a case fan strapped on it. Haven't gamed in years. But seeing all my buds from on here playing... ughhhhhhhhhhh... tempting.

I bet you could play overwatch on that, I assume you mean ATI 4770 not i7 4770 HD graphics

Also

I'M YOUR FRIEND

Moose is barely running it on a 670 in medium settings.

I don't believe you

I use a gtx 760 and it's butter smooth on that same with my dads 750

Hmmmm... so I could get a 750 ti for under $100 and it'll run smooth? I can't play games like this all choppy. Even bigger waste of money.

Should do pretty well, I have a 760 and it runs like butter so I would assume so since its so close to it

absyrd, I'm doing mine on an i3 with 16 GB of RAM and a 860m/750ti equivalent. Runs fine on a mixture of high/ultra settings with a few things toned down to low (e.g. local fog) at 30 FPS solid without any frame dips.

Awesome. I don't need crazy eye-candy. I just need that silky smooveness.

finally bought the game, the launcing event was ok, got tired of queuing up to get in

finally bought the game, the launcing event was ok, got tired of queuing up to get in

I had troubles finding a game at all a couple days after launch in Europe.
I would queue up, get into a lobby or whatever and we would run around, until it disconnected all of us and started over.

EU here as well, I never had any trouble?

[tjcaustin]

Been playing reinhardt a bit.  Dunno if I'm good or he's that op, but so far, fun enough game.

He is easy to counter with bastion.
Eats his shield in seconds.

But he is very good in the right team composition!

I'm not able to try at the moment (mobile broadband ) And I don't know why it did it.
Happened nonetheless.

This happened to me on NA until I turned off skirmish when looking for a game in the settings. I think it was (is?) bugged out for some people in that it keeps going through that loop and never finding a game.

Yeah, was happening to me too. I ended up turning off Skirmish as well, been finding games much faster now.

I've been having fun with McCree and Widowmaker, mainly picking off healers. It looks like they already have plans to nerf McCree's fan the hammer attack though. Reaper's ultimate can be pretty OP, especially when defending escort maps. Winston is my favorite tank by far.

Reminds me of TF2 with MOBA character elements. Its a refreshing change of pace from CS:GO which is my go to fps (H1Z1 was also fun for a bit until they split the game in half).

[pr0ximity]

Installing this tonight, people at work have been raving about it. Looks like everything I like about DotA in an FPS format that I'm much more comfortable with mechanically.

Also seems like there's plenty of DotA and TF2 influence, saw a Rikimaru shop sign, Hanzo reminds me quite a bit of Kunka, obvious Torbjorn and Engineer similarities.

You're in luck, I've logged 20 hours as Mercy. I may have a problem...

I'll add you tonight. Pikly#1582 if anyone else wants some heals around 6-10 pm EST most days.

I figured I'd pick this up and be just as good as I was at TF2. Wrong. So much to learn.

Junkrat my fav so far.

I've seen some sick plays with Junkrat, he's pretty damn cool. I can't really play him that well though.

Seems like the only guy so far that I can play offense and defense with solidly.

And I just played a while this morning; kept getting matched up against well-oiled machines of teams with player lvls 50+. Sigh. I got destroyed.

Lemme guess... attack on Anubis? lol

That map needs some tweaking. Junkrat + Symmetra + Ikea + tank and heals? You = ****ed.

Thank goodness for tj and moose. Had time to jump on for one game this afternoon and we had a fun match. I was frustrated with this morning's randoms.

First time I enjoyed playing Reinhardt because team around me crushed skulls.

[noisyturtle]

There is soooooooo much rule34 for Overwatch already. I feel like Blizz set themselves up for that though since 90% of it is ass-focused.

That's what happens when you change things due to some vocal minority, everyone else comes back with 20x more fap material than you ever thought possible inside of 2 weeks.

Maybe that was Blizzard's plan all along....

[SBJ]

It's also a hugely popular game though, there was bound to be tonnes of rule34 content.

Well I did a little Googling and holy ****, you weren't kidding. 

[edb5s]

Loving this game. Favorite characters so far:

Soldier 76
Roadhog
Pharah
Junkrat

Add me:  Alsirat #1685. It only makes sense to group up for the xp bonus.

[absyrd]

I've been meaning to try Roadhog. Maybe tonight if I get done all my ****.

Also... a good Bastion... how 2 counter?
