Overwatch reminds me of the early TF2 when it was actually balanced and each character had clearly defined roles and you didn't really have to wonder what type of bullshit you would be up against today.

In Overwatch, when you see a hero you instantly know what they can do and how they're going to play and you don't have to wonder "What particular brand of bullshit is this class running?"

This is why I love Overwatch's hero model over the weapon unlock model. If they want a different playstyle, they add a new person that has that and only that. New characters are fun and exciting and it will be way easier to balance set kits than to work around every single weapon combination too.

That said, TF2 is still a fun game and leagues beyond Battleborn.

So what's the exact formula for the Roadhog instant kill? Just hook and alt fire headshot? Maybe I just need practice, but it seems inconsistent.

D.Va is a bully that boosts into people and grinds them with shotguns while they're being bumped. That's how she's at her best. Her problem is that once she isn't literally inside her target, her damage falls off almost immediately.

Question: I got 400 XP for something called Backflow. Anyone know what that is?

A team of five Zaryas and a Lucio is really hard to stop. Attacking them only makes them angrier.

Does Junkrat's trap stop Doom's charge? It stops Rein's. Junkrat superiority. Except that whole one-punch-kill thing.

It didn't on PTR but it's supposed to now. I just haven't seen it yet to be sure.

I had a Genji on my team whining up a storm about how stupid Doomfist is for exactly this reason, and it just makes me love Doomfist all the more even when he's punching me into a wall

gently caress Genji.

I had a Genji dash through me just to be splattered into a wall with my super punch. It's fantastic. Dead Genji is the best Genji.

Agreed. He went from the most fun hero this side of Junkrat to someone I forget is even in the game. Bring back vanilla Doomfist.

Doomfist can't affect immobile objects like bastion or Orisa using fortify, but he can totally punch Mei away?

People are saying a fully charged punch can knock Bastion out of sentry mode on PTR, like how Reinhardt can charge him out. Punching Mei iceblocks might be an unexpected side effect.

I always thought McCree having a flashbang was funny. You've got this stereotypical cowboy with a stetson, boots with spurs, a six shooter, and of course not let's forget the most iconic item of all: a flashbang. I'd love to know if Blizzard ever tried to explain why this fits with the *~lore~*.

They were originally going to have him stun with a crack of a whip. Then they decided a whip is too cool an idea to not base a whole hero around and swapped out McCree's whip for flashbangs.

Then they proceeded to not give us a whip character.

They mentioned her new teleporter being able to teleport Torb's turret, but how would that work? Would Torb have to build his turret inside her entrance or vice versa? Maybe there's a mobile Torb turret in the works they aren't mentioning? We do know they're planning to tweak Torbjorn too, so here's to hoping he gets some cool stuff.

Irony Be My Shield posted:

it seems like the ult is still only useful on point defense, undermining the other changes.

I imagine a huge barrier like that can be dropped in front of a point to block incoming damage, allowing for a good start to a push. It could also just be dropped on a point, allowing allies to dance back and forth across the barrier, blocking damage that way, like an ultimate Winston barrier.
