I just got done playing battle mode (or was it brawl?) using mei for 5 hours locking down enemy escorts in an unending frost wall/iceblock rotation, making it impossible to win, I can solo defend.

Just like the beta weekend and open beta, this game is a lot of fun even if I am terrible at it.

That introduced me to some wonderful fellow who had a match long meltdown when I "last-picked" Torbjörn instead of a support hero. I didn't even notice I was last because last means sweet gently caress all when you can switch at any time. I stayed with Tor of course. Spite makes the world go around. This community will be horrible, and god help me I look forward to it.

They should have gone the Hearthstone route and have emotes be the only way of communicating.

objects in mirror posted:Teaming up with goons = fun. But I feel there's more pressure to win? Teaming up creates zero sum dynamics whereas if you're just in Quick Play you can dick around. Nah, there's no pressure to win with goons. Hell the last game I played last night we had a guy who wasn't able to grasp the concept of payload defense and we just got steamrolled because he thought we were supposed to defend the cart from an unknown third party while the other team pushed it or something. Something like that, he was hung up on the word "defend." There's definitely no pressure to win. There's no pressure to really even play the game or anything, we had people playing on dialup or comcast or something and just disconnecting over and over. Playing with goons just means nobody's going to talk too much poo poo about your mother and/or your sexuality if you're a fuckup  E: and then there's the times when you hold Hanamura B for 8 minutes to win because you're communicating with each other about flankers and missing enemies and everyone laughs at the other team for choking.

I wish I could have played all night. In beta I skipped playing Zarya and Hanzo. I got some Zarya time in last night and she's a beast. I got some medal for casting lots of shields and absorbing a ton of damage and it felt good. Once where beam gets charged up it rips through people. Do her bomb attacks ilexplode if they hit someone dead on? I'm super pumped to try our Roadhog's hook while jumping when I get home tonight. This game rules hard and I can't wait to get next to no sleep in the upcoming THREE DAY WEEKEND! Still don't care about Hanzo though.

I only played for about an hour after the game released as Symmetra, Mercy, Zenyatta, and Winston. Had a great time, but then i watched Seagull play until I had to go to bed because I am a responsible adult. I knew that if I was actually playing, I would have stayed up much later than i wanted to.

Hugoon Chavez posted:Man, what's up with release and Bastion players? Are they just jumping in the bandwagon thanks to all the dumb redditors screaming for nerfs to Bastion? I'm not that bad, but in open beta I never got a chance to play Bastion. I was the only support class and literally every game I played. With that said the few seconds you have before her game starts is long enough to figure out a characters new ability so you don't end up looking like a loving idiot. I had a game where our Mercy was running around just using the pistol. Sometimes I just don't know what people are thinking.

This is a few pages back but as someone who plays a shitload of Roadhog, this is news to me. What if you jump and hook a flying D'va? Something else not-well-known is that junkrat's ult can climb walls.

When anyone who is actually going to cooperate with others is already in a voice chat party, and no one else is going to listen to what anyone else says, why even allow chat if it's just going to be idiots spamming n***ger f**got over and over and over and over? It'd be OK if it were funny, but it never is. I just hope Blizzard has the smarts and the intestinal fortitude to listen to their own metrics and intuition and not the loudest idiots on Reddit when it comes to balance. Also hope they never ruin it by introducing weapon drops and unlocks ala TF2. Imagined fucked around with this message at 13:40 on May 24, 2016 |

Played last night a couple hours. Got PTOG as D.VA on my first twomatches (!), forgot to shadowplay them before quittine the game.  I also managed to bump two people off the side of Lijiang. Then I proceeded to suck rear end all night. It's kinda weird how my game went to poo poo since the beta; I never considered myself to be good at the game but holy hell I was being useless for most of my games. I guess I should just keep playing.  PS: I hate all of you who got legendary skins, I got sprites. ALL OF THE SPRITES.

yay, got to play! Got in a surprising number of games that were constantly stuck at 9 or 10 of 12 players though. I did poorly and it made me kind of salty though =(. Did they not reset MMRs? When I first played open beta I was doing really well at first but now I'm getting my butt kicked most of the time. I don't think I'm all that great (FPS isn't my thing) but I was kinda surprised.

i didn't get to play any of the betas because i didn't think i'd enjoy this game, but i went ahead and picked it up anyways and spent all of last night playing with some friends it owns i think im gonna lean more towards supports, lucio is so goddamn fun and i really like zenyatta's aesthetic, even if he's a little on the weak side (150 health cmon)

I really liked this game in the closed beta weekend because it seemed like a lot of people were willing to play different supports, tanks and defense heroes. In open beta and now in release it seems like I get placed onto teams with only offense heroes, Blackwidow and Hanzo while on defense and struggle to play payload. How is payload so difficult to understand? Reinhardt, Bastion and Torbjorn are fun, why aren't people picking them?

So, if you are on KoTH and your team has already captured the point, should your team go to the nearest enemy choke and try to hold them there or should you stick near to the point? Guess which one a pub team tried to do. Also, is there any way to fiddle with the mic sensitivity? I'm almost sure

I feel like Bastion and Torb's Turrets just aren't as effective as they used to be. Do people just know how to counter them or have there been some balance changes?

nothing more satisfying than scoping a a bastion as he's transforming, then killing him in one shot just as he gets situated.

Also my wife chain-crashes after a bit of play with 'Rendering device has been lost', but she's running the same build I am with a 760. Latest drivers. Tried reinstalling Windows 10 last night, but no dice. She's pulling her hair out and I'm not sure what to suggest (I'll be getting a new card once the 1080's are actually available, so she can try swapping for my card then...)

I played Widowmaker for a full round in the brawl thinking that it was the random characters one and players were just getting lucky with respawns ::sadtrombone:: Also the brawl is kinda eh. It's like super turtle world with tanks and lucios and meis and no one dying ever. HapXL posted:I'm not that bad, but in open beta I never got a chance to play Bastion.
