I haven't heard/read anything about this game. From the brief video I watched it seems like a TF2-like but with a refreshed roster/maps/etc.

Is this supposed to be really good?

It is supremely hype and it's gonna make a thousand bazillion dollars.

I feel bad for the people who worked on Battleborn, but what were they thinking? They're going to release right against Blizzard and expect people to flock to their game?

It's not even nearly the same game as Overwatch but somewhere in development Gearbox took a hard turn for the "make it look like Overwatch so confused grandmas will buy it" marketing strategy.

Any idea why my frames are locked to 70 if I go with the display-based option in video settings? It doesn't bother me at all, it just seems like a peculiar number.

FAUXTON posted:

If I had to guess it probably means your display is running at 70 Hz, and when you choose the display-based fps it sets your max frame rate to match that of the display (or a multiple of it).

Well that it is the weird part as my monitor displays at 60hz and this is the only game that locks to a different framerate.

There are only a couple skins that are really must haves for me and I already have 250 in currency from loot boxes so I can't see myself putting down real money for these things.

Overgrown Bastion, Slipstream Tracer, and whatever Pharah look cool. The rest are pretty eh. Noire Widow I think you get from just pre-ordering in any version.

At what point can you safely leave a game without incurring penalties? I've ducked out of some solo QMs when everybody on my team selects Reaper/Widow and doesn't budge, but before you're actually in the match.

Also the game looks even better now that I forced adaptive vsync, I guess input lag is a problem sometimes but I'm too bad at this game to even notice. Weird that it's not a regular option.

I do wish D.Va had a little better ult growth in mech form since you'll spend a significant portion of the match building no ult.

Quick question: What do you guys use to record gameplay/highlights? I want to save a few decent ones and maybe record some games later.

Nvidia Shadowplay is very easy to use if you have a Geforce card and doesn't have much of a performance hit at all.

Symmetra feels really strong for the first half of Anubis and King's Row as you have some really favorable layouts for turret placement and places to hide teleporters. Plus we're still in the early stages of the game where people will run right into your sentry turrets.

I just aim it right at the big Reinhardt shield because it goes through barriers and some people will panic and run out of position.

I think the POTG should almost always ignore ults unless something really special happens. Cause wow, yeah that guy pressed Q and got two kills, so amazing. It'd be more interesting to see pretty much anything else.

I got a POTG once as Pharah when I pushed two dudes to their deaths on Ilios. That was cool and unexpected.

None of the legendary skins are really appealing to me except scrapper D.Va and golden knight Reinhardt, neither of which I play too often. Some of the skins I like the most are just the simple recolors like purple Mercy.

The most frustrating thing about dealing with enemy Reinhardts is when your team takes one look at the shield and goes "welp, nothing we can possibly about that" not even bothering to damage it or get around him. Break the freaking shield!

It looks a lot like TF2 and the game types are the same, but it ends up playing way differently. There are characters that fit a much larger variety of playstyles and gameplay types, so if you're a heavy quake/ut player or a counterstrike player or a tf2 player you'll find some characters that feel similar to whatever game you're coming from.

Pharah is 100% the hero of choice for those of us who grew up on Q3 Arena. Someday I'll be good with her, too.

I'd like to buy some highlight intros but right now Hanzo literally gets it for killing two people almost all the time. Zarya and I (as Pharah) wombo'd to kill 4 guys, and then I got a fifth. Hanzo got POTG for 2 kills.

If you want easy POTGs as Pharah, play her on Nepal or Ilios and push dudes off the cliffs there. For whatever reason environmental kills are weighted heavily.

My favorite PotGs are when I go Symmetra and passively kill 3-4 people while my screen is looking at corners to place sentries.

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.

To me she's kind of a one trick pony, in that your entire gimmick is getting a teleporter out as quickly as possible on Defense Point A and giving your team an instawin as long as they didn't do something stupid like not pick a second support. But she's really good at that and it's fun to chill sometimes and play Tower Defense 2016 while everybody else is running around like crazy. If I were on Team Overwatch I'd probably make her +25 shields a passive aura with a limited range and her E a toggle between damage/healing turrets. Then I'd reduce the number of teleport charges to 3 or 4 to make it not quite the most OP ultimate in the game. But I still think Symmetra is cool the way she is.

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

In the opening section of the match you want to set all your turrets in forward positions so that you can build meter quickly, even if a few get blown up in the process. On defense you have enough time to set up 3/4 as long as your Symmetra is hoofing it all the way from the spawn, and the remaining two don't take much time at all. Her M2 is good for zoning people out since it goes through shields and does enough damage that people can't just sit through it. From there you see how the enemy team is moving and position your turrets accordingly.

Its not hard setting up on defense its doing anything when your team is on the backfoot and need to gain/defend new ground.

But hey at least I got a tele set up so we ca- oh wait Tracer blew it up nevermind.

It's a good idea to set a couple turrets around the teleporter if they have a Tracer or Reaper who you think will hunt for it. Most pugs don't even seem to bother though, which is incredibly frustrating when the enemy team has a decent Symmetra. She is highly situational and once you've lost the first defense/payload checkpoint there's not much of a reason to keep her around unless you're still alive and owning with her.
