I honestly don't think I've ever seen a single Hanzo killcam that I didn't think was complete bullshit.

I was the same way with Hanzo. Killed a shitload of people with him in my first match and thought ezmode.

I thought this with Roadhog, I love hooking people across the map and shotgunning them to the face.

There is a not small possibility the servers will tell us this themselves.

Huh, so they included a copy of Jaina for Heroes of the Storm. There's nothing special with it, right? I already got her in that game's box set.

There'll be an extra 5million people that weren't around for the -actually free- open beta period, somehow.

I'm honestly actually half expecting that to be the case.

or more likely a lot of people who were like "oh fine ill try it its free" over the course of the entire week actually decided to buy it and slam the server at once.

is this the first time we'll have numbers comparing a popular, completely free game release to a purchased one? I wonder how it'll turn out.

Here's a quick read up on the developer Q&A that went up earlier: http://www.overking.com/news/overwatch-launch-day-q

Some things that weren't mentioned already in the thread from it:

quote:

A single player or cooperative mode has had small talks but Overwatch is far from planning anything like that.

A guild and clan system may be coming eventually.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

I think this game is gonna sell SSJ-levels of copies and Blizz knows it.

If you can find 11 other people you can totally do custom games, with random hero + no changing heroes as a mode

Masturbating to some Overwatch SFMs should get you through a couple minutes, at least.

Open Beta had nearly 10 million players and ended on May 10th, leaving 14 days until the release on May 24th

For an American in their twenties, of indeterminate gender & race, the odds on dying on any given day are about 0.00025%, or 1 in 400,000 (give or take a few numbers)

Ignoring other variables (location, age, wealth), 350 Open Beta players will die before they get to play Overwatch on May 24

My bud didn't know about the game until open beta came out, we played a bit and he loved it and was very excited for the release. He was hospitalized the week after the beta ended from a severe staph infection and passed away just this Friday. It's very unfortunate that he didn't get to experience the game he was so excited for. I'm glad some people are recognizing the possibility and how unfortunate this circumstance is.
