Wangsbig posted:i look at this competitive team-based shooter and think, yes, but what about the tragic backstory of hero archetype 'sniper'? I want to feel a deep connection to what in other games would be a gun i choose from a drop-down menu. i want to feel their struggles as my own and carry the weight of reaper's choices as i open a loot crate and dress him up like a mariachi This game promised me heroes, not classes, and by god I intend to collect.

I've been trying to get better as Genji so I can counter Bastion and get some assassination in, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how he plays. I slink around and plink people with my ninja stars. When I'm ready to take on Bastion or when someone is shooting me at medium range, I hit e and charge. After my e wears off, they kill me while I desperately try to eke out a little more damage.

Thanks for the Genji tips, everyone. There's some obvious components of his skillset I was overlooking, so I'm hopeful I'll do much better tonight.

Oh poo poo, I'm a moron. Since she's classified as a Tank, I thought D.Va was supposed to be all marching down the front lines like a Reinhardt or something, but she's actually a harasser!

I played with one Lucio that made liberal use of the "gather up" emote and was pretty impressed with the results.

Axel Serenity posted:The worst thing about Mei is the blank, emotionless stare she gives you as you become trapped in her icy prison. Blizzard gets major props for taking a game where frenetic mobility is the central draw and making a character who patiently drains you of hope before lobotomizing you with an ice pick a viable and fun options.

Losing to good teams in Overwatch is kind of nice because there's so much to learn about playing well in this game. I gotta complain though. Today I got a gold medal for one objective kill when playing on the Attacking team in Numbani. As Lucio. What the absolute gently caress, everyone else?

bagrada posted:I join a game and start thoughtfully musing about who to play this time. I click someone, think about it, check the team build (weird, everyone has a pick already, usually at least 2 hold out until the timer runs out). So I switch to another char, then decide to wait a bit before committing as I see people change again... then I notice the kill spam in the top right and realize it dumped me into an in progress game again. So I hit go and walk out the door just in time to see the enemy finish delivering the payload. DEFEAT and a tiny chunk of xp. Good times. At least they're changing heroes.

If you're even aware the payload exists, you have a better handle on this game than the people I'm getting matched up with.

Zorodius posted:Nah, not all media is so cynically produced, and not every character is a stereotype. It's the difference between, "this would make a cool character" and, "I bet those idiots will eat this poo poo up." A more reasonable comparison would be the characters in Team Fortress 2. If only Genji and Zarya had the depth, creativity, and relatability of idiot soldier, douchey baseball bat guy, and piss-throwing aussie.

Section Z posted:I do find this kind of amusing because while I like the characters and it's nice they are trying to do worldbuilding? Really the "Two teams of assholes" would fit better for two sides fighting to the death to escort a robotic film director, than Wiston's whole "Please come back and save world guys" pitch to an assortment of tragic heroes mixed in with the psychotic assholes. Haha that's a drat good point, and I wonder now if it's the real heart of the discussion. Blizzard has purposefully infused the game with a bunch of personality and built up a (kind of lovely) mythos behind the characters and settings that the game is built on. But then, after all that poo poo about heroes and family and how spiders don't have emotions, the characters grab their guns and go to work just like they do in TF2.
