I was just kidding, life is pain because I too enjoy playing team support classes. I think I might be the most aggressive Reinhardt in the game because of all the times when I am alone on the cart.

I am the most objective lucio ever. I just stand on it and dance around my objective times usually are like 3+ minutes. Somehow I just dance and grind avoiding death while healing everyone around me.

I literally ground inside the hole in Ilios for like 2 minutes straight contesting a point while they tried to kill me praying my team would take the point.

The cart heals you when you're pushing it.

This makes me suspect you've never pushed the payload.

Does Lucio's upper body have a much smaller hitbox than everyone elses? I can never get a killing shot on him with Roadhog's combo unless I aim downwards. It makes me suspect there's something about his posture/model that makes it so the typical killzone isn't there.

Okay that makes me feel better about buying this. Probably will sink some money on it tomorrow and then fail miserably because I haven't played an FPS in roughly 3 years.

Is there an easy way to learn the maps, like an offline mode you can just run around them in?

Playing the past two nights with some goons the experience has been that winning -- or even losing -- when the team is being competitive is very exhilarating but getting stomped on sucks and you'll find yourself facing equally skilled and superior teams quickly.

There were a couple of matches we lost where the match was still fun cause people did what they were supposed to do and the outcome of the match was in the hands of the gods.

There's a "play vs bots" mode, but as far as I know you can't pick what map you go to, it randomly rotates maps like a regular game.

It's an always online game, but you can set up custom games that allow you to fly/walk around the map to explore them by yourself and try out different heroes.

There are practice modes, yeah, including just playing against bots.

One thing I'm confused about from just watching a stream: on KotH, do you actually need a teammate standing in the point to get the percentage to tick up, or once you've claimed it the percentage ticks up at a fixed rate?

It's not like Reinhart can really do much to stop them. He has to drop his shield and turn around to protect the healer, and given the role he plays and the positions he tends to take, that's only slightly less bad than the healer using their pistol instead of their heal beams. Besides, Reinhart expects (quite reasonably) his other teammates to be behind his shield and assumes that they will deal with the threat, and his situational awareness is crap anyway since he can't look around without moving the shield too.


Mei is absolutely positively the spiritual successor of the Pyro. Genji can play the ambusher Pyro a bit, reflecting people's attacks back at them while murdering them with terrible attacks at close range from behind.


Shoot guys. Your right-click does heavy damage, has long range, and goes through shields. Your left-click auto-aims and will kill most flankers if you fire first.

I unlocked a firefighter skin for Mei, in case she wasn't Pyro enough.

This makes me suspect you've never pushed the payload.

The payload healing doesn't come with a visual effect like TF2's payloads do, and there's so many sources of passive and passive-ish healing in this game that it's easy to see your health ticking up and assume your team's Lucio is somewhere nearby, or it's just your shields regenerating, or something like that.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yes. Same with Mei. Both have a lower kill zone. So does torb but duh. Quite a few of the characters are actually pretty sure. Lucio Mei and tracer barely reach up to the counter in the theater.

The main drives of the maps aren't complex, you will learn them by just playing. And don't worry about being bad either, it is launch and anyone who seriously gives you flak about not being perfect is a grade A rear end in a top hat

As far as I know they confirmed that there wont be any more microtransactions. Right now the only crap you can buy are loot boxes that contain only cosmetic stuff skins, sprays etc. One box contains 4 seperate items, at least a rare and they are roughly around 1 buck each. That being said you get these everytime you get a levelup anyway and since there is no levelcap it is literally possible to unlock everything without money.
Besides of this you get all new maps and heroes for free.
