I don't get it. When I quit overwatch battle.net still says it's playing and won't let me relaunch it. if I close battle.net and reopen it it still says playing. I have to go into task manager and find the blizzard updater process and kill that.

I watched a bastion sit 20 meters behind the frontline and shoot at the enemy team in his mobile form. He never moved an inch.

Weird, I tried to install Battlenet on my other PC to install Overwatch there, but it refuses to accept my password. Which I know is right since I had to login on the authoricatior and the same password that worked there doesn't work on the desktop. I imagine it just the servers being swamped by the game, but still a weird issue.

Just played from servers opening until now with a full premade. Won so hard against pubs, it was very satisfying. We went to 2 or 3 Torb on each defense and competed for play of the game.

I've now confirmed with a 100% accuracy that the pubbies suck and can't grasp the concept of teamwork or how supports work, instead preferring to take potshots behind a wall 24/7. Also sun's bright and water is wet. Ugh.

A damage boosted Pharah does 156 damage in a direct hit. Which means that when I timed a rocket to go through the door on Hollywood right when they opened and it hit a tracer in the face, he got mad. Tunnel visioned me all game. I got the POTG on both defense and attack (both just ults, more or less) and boy, he was not happy about my ability to press Q at just the right time.

I guess I should have taken screen shots but Pharah, you're so dreamy :allears:

I'm so jealous of everyone getting skins :( I haven't gotten anything yet. Maybe it's because I keep losing.


I did figure out this one weird trick though; if you're getting absolutely steamrolled by the entire enemy team then stick around for another match. The teams will be re-arranged and chances are several of those people who were way better than you are now on your team!

I don't understand the title of the thread, do pubbies think Bastion is hard to kill or something? I just right click him when I'm playing Soldier :shrug:

How does overtime work? I mean it's kinda annoying when your 99% to 44% and they get overtime for some reason. OR when you defended, they are 20m from the check point and get overtime for seemingly no reason.

I just don't understand how it works.

I think someone just has to touch the capture point/payload so even when the enemy is doing a conga line you'll still stay in Overtime for ages because they just need one person to touch the point every few seconds.

We had an Arcade fight which lasted forever because both teams were healing like crazy and neither of us could get the other team out of Overtime.

if you are about to win and an enemy person is on the point contesting it, then they get overtime

if they are actively contesting it, it counts down very slowly (Maybe none? I don't know), if they are no longer actively contesting it then the overtime rapidly drops

overtime counter will reset if you kick them off, and then they get back on though

If the overtime bar is full and not ticking down, that means someone from the attacking team is on the point. When there's no one there, it'll start ticking down again, but reset if someone else reaches the point in time. It's really useful when time runs out but you can keep at least one guy on the payload at all times to push it the extra couple of feet to the checkpoint.

Well, naturally those who didn't take part in the open beta are people who either haven't paid much attention to the game (and so know little about the characters and how to play) or who don't play many games overall.

This is the downside to blizz games being so popular. It'll pass in a week or two though just like beta.

Yeah every other match is either complete newbs or extremely good. Its jarring.
