Go to the groups tab in the social menu while in a match. I think it's bound to P by default. Click on the red and blue chat-bubbles. Then you can play [INSERT BAD PICK] without people yelling at you. The chat will stay muted until the next time you boot up Overwatch.

Eyy thanks man, I'd give you a high-five if I could. I'll continue to Hanzown their team.

So has there been any word on different game modes being added in the future? CTF, team deathmatch, Free-for-All, etc?

They'll test them, and if they work they'll bring them into the game.

At Blizzcon they were talking about how they prototyped a CTF map. They didn't like how only mobility heroes were worth carrying the flag, and they couldn't come up with a solution they were happy with. They don't want to disable heroes or abilities if they can avoid it, and with the game still in development they couldn't spend a whole lot of time on the problem. Maybe they'll revisit it, but I wouldn't count on it.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
Hanzo shines when he is up front close enough that he just has to scatter arrow his own feet to kill the enemy. He is a poor sniper and should be used in punching range so you can punch your enemy after shooting them.

someone else then chose Bastion, so i was like "should I change" then i thought "No. Challenge Accepted!"

In a King of the Hill match tonight the enemy team went 5 Genji's, God drat it was fun popping their heads randomly.

I can't use his ultimate to save my life though, I've just decided to only use to zone areas.

Just immediately shoot it off at the closest enemy or where you think the closest enemy is going to be. It charges so quickly that you should just treat it like another arrow with a long cooldown.

Another thing you can do with his ult is shoot it off and then run inside of it and shoot anyone who went off to the sides of the ult. People usually don't expect someone to be inside of the ult and the dragons will slightly obscure you.

There's a reason for why most games have moved away from objective carrying: it's too complex. CTF requires you to have someone adept at flag running, assassination requires a competent player to be the president, hostage retrieval requires not lovely AI.

If Counter-Strike was released today instead of years ago, it probably would have flopped from being unable to sustain a casual player base due to requiring actual team-coordination.

With Ana's healing and damage, do you have to specifically shoot a healing bullet at a friendly and a damage bullet at an enemy or is there just one button and it automatically heals or damages depending on which it hits

the latter

what sucks is when you're trying to heal someone at midrange or far away and there's a big fat meka suit right in front of you and you keep hitting that instead

Agreed. Her boost just feels loving weird now with how powerful Defensive Matrix is. The biggest pain-in-the-rear end D.Vas I've faced tonight have been the ones acting like Reinhardt and sitting at a choke keeping their team safe behind their invincible shield.

First match with D.Va on Nepal. I held the point like a champ. A+ would play again. I'll probably use her over Reinhardt in solo queue games when pubbies refuse to stand behind my blue rectangle.

If you're playing Hanzo as a classic (hide far away on top of something tall) sniper you're playing him wrong. It is possible to play him that way, (if you're good at estimating distance/drop and the other team all runs in straight lines) but you're going to have much less success than a widowmaker would in the same position with her hitscan weapon.

He should be in the backline or immediately above it taking out high priority targets. He's the only character that can oneshot without warning a non-tank without the benefit of a damage boost or a debuff. Keep your sonic arrow up on the flanking route and kill the flankers as soon as they show their head.

On the Battle.net forums, I proposed that the timeout on Zenyatta's orbs should be lengthened by a few seconds. This would give him more freedom to hide behind cover. I thought this would be more interesting than just giving him more hitpoints. What do you think?
