Reaper has two things that make him not just a worse Tracer — his shotguns can kill tanks fast and his teleport gives him vertical movement. He still kinda feels like a worse Tracer though.

I think my favorite character might be 76. It feels really lame to like him though.
I thought armor reduced damage more from shotguns because they shoot pellets and 'small arms' like the tracer SMG.

Similarly, with roadhog when I'm fighting an armored enemy at close range (nearly melee) doesn't his M2 ball still do more damage than his M1 spreadshot because of the armor reduction?

the ball does 50 and gets reduced to 45 by armor. The pellets do 225 and get cut in half.

Yeah it turns out we were wrong, someone tested it and reaper's shotguns were doing 70 a hit to D.va instead of 135, which is what it'd be if it treated the bullets as a single damage packet.

Sort of like me going to DeviantArt to see the X Days of Overwatch or whatever official fanart thing and then making the mistake of searching the rest of the site for Overwatch art when I was done with that. :aaaaa:

It should be noted that Reaper still loving demolishes tanks because he fires quickly and has 8 shots in his "clip," and most tanks just don't have that much armor.

I'm actually surprised that Overwatch has no Spy analogue, since it seems to hit every other note that TF2 does in terms of class roles, tactics and playstyles. In fact a lot of Overwatch heroes feel like TF2 classes with extra fun poo poo bolted on, which is totally fine by me, but the Spy was my favourite TF2 class and I want to run around in a disguise backstabbing people again.

I used to (badly) play a lot of TF2 years ago, and I still can't shake the paranoia. Every now and then in OW I'll turn around and see someone on my team coming up behind me from an unexpected angle and my brain goes :siren: WATCH OUT THAT THERE'S A SPY :siren:

Seagull is amazing at basically everything. Watching him is a good way to learn some tricks while feeling totally inadequate.

Are there any other streamers as good as him when it comes to skill and commentary?

It's possible that the upcoming hero Sombra might fulfill that kind of role. There's a lot of cool theories floating around from facts that Blizzard have left around, and one of them is a hero that can be inferred to be, in some way, unseeable.

This is also pretty much total conjecture. The only thing that's really known for sure is there was a picture of a sniper in the Support section which we clearly do not have a Support Sniper.

I think it's $500? The weird thing is that a medium is 501 and a large is 502, which doesn't make much economic sense even with hyper-inflation.
