The more I play the more I think 76 is the best offensive character.

I mean to confirm my selection. The point being I don't want to have to locate my mouse cursor

"The keyboard cannot be used to equip unlocks in the Hero Gallery" is listed as a known issue on the forums, so I'd guess that the same bug is causing space bar not to work on hero selection.

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.

i never vote for myself, i vote for whatever healer was on our team, then whatever healer was on their team, then whoever got POTG, then whoever played the best support or tank

might as well encourage people to play underplayed classes since the commendations don't affect anything

also what do you guys vote for match quality? I default to 2 but i move to 1 for a steamroll and 3 for a close game

I pressed the "need heals" button a few times yesterday and a Mercy just resolved to never heal me again...

...until I was the last one left on the point and loving won the game for us.

My favourite hero right now is probably Zarya, she's cool and cute and tough and literally every ability on her owns and she has a high enough skill floor that pubs hate playing her so I'm free to style with her without anyone crowding me. I still have to beat the tendancy to pre-emptively shield out of my head and I still don't think she's as fun as early beta D.Va though.

On another tack are there any good Overwatch Youtubers or am I stick watching Surefour and Seagull's stream?

Ster posts a couple videos, but I think he mostly is on Twitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?4O4STAR?videos
Unit Lost Gaming / Stylosa has frequent content. I don't think he's one of the pros, but it's stuff to watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?unitlosttube?videos
Disciple has some videos as well, and he focuses a lot on Zarya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?DisicpleLovesYou?videos

Yes we should definitely reward dipshit Hanzos who stay far from the fight and spam arrows for free points while people contesting the point rack up a terrible k/d because aforementioned dipshit Hanzo is not doing anything useful.

Its ok, the game tracks your stats so the hanzo is still rewarded for sitting back racking up kills and losing the game.

Hell ill admit to swapping to widow on hana or anubos when its a 100-0 unfun stomp so gently caress the match ill click heads and lose while improving my overall kda.

I can get plenty of votes as Lucio if I make sure I courrior fatties to the front line. They don't notice the healing, but they notice not having to deal with their character's biggest and most infuriating weakness.

BTW, if you're playing Lucio, glance behind you and check if someone needs a run boost. It makes such a difference to winning the match.

like i get it yeah woo play with people but i'm still never going to leave a game when i'm in the middle of it???

it says right next to the big plus "IN GAME" so like, wait til i'm done? or send me a whisper? or something? cause you're just gonna get ignored

i'm actually surprised there's no afk or dnd yet for this game


of course most of the time i get invited to a group of goons i don't know who don't use voice comms so it's just like playing with pubbies anyway

Been playing for a while and haven't run across a single slur, which is a refreshing change. Plenty of salt, but nobody actually being abusive.

And yeah 76 is the best offense class.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

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


I started playing more Symmetra because I got cool stuff for her, and as it turns out I really began to like Symmetra. So I would suggest following the loot train and trying out new characters if only for the stuff you get in the boxes.

Symmetra is a lot of fun. She's got a nice balance of support and offensive abilities that make you useful in a lot of different situations.
