Started playing yesterday, it's very fun but plenty of flaws. I think TF2 was better but is now infested with 11 year olds, so play this instead.

How is Overwatch not infested with 11 year olds!?

You just don't hear them, because off how the mic system works.

I really don't understand how the mic system works, so that's a good point. I was playing tf2 last weekend for the first time in a while and it was nothing but kids, which seemed unusual.

Wow, that is pretty bad.
The game's super fun and I'm gunna keep playing it but yeah, seems to be designed to make everyone feel like they're doing better than they actually are: no scoreboards, emphasis on positive stats etc, these hitboxes.

And I suppose that's just to make the game very accessible, but I dunno if it can really become a big competitive game. still at least probably more interesting than watching counter-strike

this is a better avatar than what I had before
The emphasis of Overwatch is on team play and positioning not individual skill, so the hit boxes are fine. Widow maker and mccree kinda gently caress this up though because if you are a good enough shot you can play either one of these characters and carry the team

It's easy to destroy him with widowmaker. He usually doesn't have the range to kill you or the time to change weapons and run.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Competive TF2 always was a bit of a joke*, so I'm perfectly fine with Overwatch not being a competitive but a dumb fun game.

*All those "pros" getting banned for cheating was the punchline.

the problem is more blizzard still doing tourneys and stuff. it's laughable. it's kind of annoying how competitive gaming is straight up a marketing thing now and doesn't matter how balanced or well designed a game is.

Huge hitboxes, especially for headshots, are common on console games. I'm guessing Blizzard was just too lazy to make them more appropriate for the PC version.

Pubbing is frustrating as all gently caress for now, but otherwise I really like it. I mainly played medic in TF2 and having a medic that's able to zip around from player to player and float is really, really fun. I definitely feel like I am going to get my money's worth with this one. I also like that it's probably never going to be a huge e-sport game so really good players can keep playing CSGO or whatever.

Shockingly enough, esports is a joke where you're either blatantly cheating or getting coddled by the balance team
