Does anyone own this on both console and PC? Is there scope for getting really frustrated due to control differences etc? I am pretty bad at PS4 shooters usually, I get ruined in CoD most of the time.

I have about 30 hours in the PC version, and really, really love it. But a bunch of my pals own PS4s, so I am thinking about it picking it up there too.

There was a recent Reddit thread about the aiming controls being somewhat lacking on consoles: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4oqr5f/since_were_talking_torb_and_console_changes_can/
I've also seen recent comments about Torbjorn being OP on consoles (since it locks on faster than your average player) and it being hard to get the most of Genji (and his mobility) on a controller.

Wait, what's up with Hanzo? Do the wolf skins make his ult bigger or something?

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
The wolf skin changes the line he yells when firing his ult, and the first half of that line is noticeably quieter than the normal version. So essentially you get less warning when he fires off the wolves.

There's one coming, but only for competitive mode. They could always expand to the other modes, and I hope they do, but looks like that's the only mode that will have it once the 'ranked' patch rolls out soon™.

Is there any reason not to be spamming jump like a jackrabbit on crack as almost every character?

I think it's just habit coming from way too much time in NS and I know it doesn't effect accuracy

This, and I find the thing is more often than not IN MY FACE when I hear the end of his call. It's obnoxious in the way Blanka's Carnival outfit was obnoxious in SF4.

Don't do it if reinhardt is meleeing you, anyways. His wallops have sideways knock and you won't be able to re-accelerate as quickly if you're in the air, which makes you noticeably slower in trying to get away from him.

The jump arc always looks a little predictable in the killcam when you get owned by a widowmaker, too.

You can't control your movement when you're in the air so it makes you easier to hit

Hanzo's wolf skin's ultimate callout is way, way quieter than the default one.

To the point where the ultimate can be halfway out before you even realize it's been fired. It's hosed up and broken and they need to be normalized.

I tried Reaper for the first time today. Holy poo poo is he fun. I just wish his voice lines were better.

Reaper really needs an alt voice pack that's just Kieth Ferguson rereading all his lines using the Bloo voice from back when he was on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. It would go a long way in making Reaper actually appealing.

I wouldn't mind a Ned Kelly skin for Roadhog, either.

I started watching the Gosugamers weekly tournament and they're currently discussing a team they've never heard of called "oink oink HERE COMES BOINK!" who beat some real team that was supposed to be good.

I desperately want oink oink HERE COMES BOINK! to become superstars in competitive Overwatch.

I think boink and kapow on that team were former invite tf2 players

e: actually overwatch seems to be where a bunch of tf2 players went. a lot of the top teams are filled with them. I can recognize half of splyce, one of the teams that's playing right now in that tournament, from tf2

I'm pretty sure the callouts are the same if you're on the enemy team? Got murdered by ghost wolves and noticed the callout changed when the game cut to the death cam.

Nope, if the enemy hanzo has the wolf skin, the ultimate line will be changed when you don't hear it and wolves suddenly burst out of the wall.

There was some Euro tourney in beta, I forget who ran it but they had ZP casting and the winning team was called My Dong. It started with the casters trying to be serious and eventually one of them starts cracking and deliberately feeding lines about it. About the middle period when they weren't just setting up lovely jokes but realized how absurd it was was the best. "BUT HERE COMES MY DONG REINVIGORATED" etc

My Dong basically cheated (not really but you know) because they had pluppie and mendokusaii before those two disappeared for a while, those two definitely carried them

Indeed. Let me copy the lines from a wiki:
Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau! (self and hostile)
Ōkami yo waga teki wo kurae! (self and hostile, using Lone Wolf or Okami)

Let the dragon consume you! (friendly)
The wolf hunts for its prey! (friendly, using Lone Wolf or Okami)

I'll never understand character mains in this game. It's not a fighting game where you need to focus on one character, or TF2 where you could lock Scout, Soldier or Demo and not really change ever.

I'm not a main by any means, but I do have a comfort pick problem. I have some 12 hours of genji played with my next most with roadhog at around 3. It's not that I only want to play genji, it's just that other than in obvious situations (like we have no tank), I end up panic picking and go to who I played last who is invariably genji

You have to listen to his voice the whole time so his characterisation does actively effect your experience. If there was a comedy voice option for him, I'd switch to it in a second.
