do they post patch notes anywhere
is there a graph of hero win %?

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?

yes its made by blizzard and they have a history of good games and from the open beta we, the players, saw that it was good

im so loving mad at this game holy moly

hi gang, I made a post complaining about losing

it turns out if your party is 5 other goons you lose, but if you play with real life friends the game is a lot more lighthearted and you win a lot LOT more!

just some tips from your friend,

happy overwatch day!

remember: inspect other randoms profiles, and if they don't play primarily support and have average kills per round under 10, maybe find another teammate unless they are cool and fun to play with!

that's another pro tip from Mort's "How to Have Fun and Win at Overwatch" class!

Any idea if I could get some performance improvements in this game by upgrading from my Radeon 6850? Computer's coming up on 5 years old but I don't feel like going all out and building a new rig just yet. Am I going to be mostly limited by my AMD Phenom II X4? (Yeah, I know. AMD.)

yes and yes

I want an option where the characters speak english. Yeah I know what a novelty it is to have AAA game characters say funny words in your native language but I don't speak chinese and don't really want to learn until they invade the US.

Instead of saying "alajsdflkj lkjalkdjfjsf" mei would say "IM MAKING THE GROUND COLD" and the ult would seem less bullshit

I've never had any problems hearing her callout so I think you're just deaf.

why shouldn't deaf people be allowed to play at a high level? there should be visual indicators pointing to an ultimate in case you aren't directly facing it. Maybe also put in an optional "footsteps" indicator, that's a huge one that you need to hear if you want to play a flanker. Deaf people can only play tanks and plain offense characters and without basic indicators not very well.

Blizzard made a pretty good sniping game. I mean, the maps seem a little cramped sometimes, they could be a lot bigger, with wide open spaces to snipe in. But as games about being a sniper go, this one is still pretty good.

The only thing I don't like in Overwatch is the AFK script. It understandable if your playing solo, but when in a group match, it sucks if you get interrupted and get kicked out of the match and have to spectate a match. And the added lovely bonus of afk kicks I imagine count toward the leaver punishment.

don't go afk

i had my first instance of a pubbie swearing at me last night

he complained in team chat that he died 4 times to roadhog hooking him into the pit in ilios

i said maybe don't stand next to the pit, he said maybe suck my cock

another pubbie said yes but also maybe don't stand next to the pit


and that's my story of overwatch pubbies. they're almost always just silent(ly bad) in my games.

my team of 3 friends and I always tell pubs to not play hanzo or mei when they instalock them, and have been called faggots not one, not two, but three times by pubs. In text chat so it's reportable! Enjoy the suspension friend.

I don't care if you play widow or reaper 24/7 but hanzo is trash and I don't believe you can play Mei good enough, sorry pub.

e: reaper is good, I'll spoil my not so secret spot to TP on for people who don't play reaper

I dislike both those characters but if someone told some random dude in quick match to switch from mei the rest of the game would be following him around ice walling him in unfortunate circumstances for sure.

Well I guess he could be an 11-year-old kid too. In that case, I'm sorry for calling you an rear end in a top hat, Mort.

I'm doing pubs a favor by carrying their sorry rear end, the least they can do is at least pretend they're helping
e: when I say me I mean my team, because teamwork OP also having healers and tanks is good and I never see pubs pick anything but hanzo and mei

I'm teaching them about what good heroes are. Their mice should have an electric shock when they pick hanzo or mei to negatively reinforce that those characters are really bad

You might be noticing this more because it happens with a character you think is bad, but why do you think someone that keeps shooting Zarya with her shield up would do anything different when playing an in-meta character?

D.Va's on Defense annoy me because that isn't what her toolset is for but I think she's a blast to play on O assuming you're flanking and loving up snipers and being a more mobile Tracer. If you're trying to be Rein that's a different story but basically I'm saying a bad player will be a bad player regardless of class, and I'm sorry you haven't seen a good D.Va but it's not impossible.

Dva has a lot of close range sustained damage, most bad/average players will hold that left click far too long. Characters like mccree/genji/pharrah where your left click is more deliberate don't have that problem.

Dva can be great against average players but on a lot of maps there's just too many things to hide behind or get flanked from, she's kinda bad to middling.

reaper is a good hero that I like to play, yes. I think I am above average with him and can be a good asset to the team which is why I play him. His kit is unique and his ultimate can turn the tide in many fights.
