I imagine Lucio can't actually walk properly without his suit because he's actually pulverized his bones into fine dust with his speaker legs.

I think Zarya is the only person who doesn't have some form of cybernetic enhancement because she's a super Robo-bigot and hates all robots.

I guess her suit may count since it's doubtful she'd be able to lift her weapon properly without it.

Uh, have you seen those guns :swoon:

She's the world's strongest woman, but the gun is heavy even to her. Her Deadlift pose is her struggling to lift it. I doubt even she'd be able to keep it operational without some form of assistance, probably from her suit which is definitely linked to the gun.

e: Likewise, the only person who has anything approaching the kind of hardware Zarya carries around is Winston, and he's a literal gorilla so that's nothing to him.

Goddamit. What is it with all these people having missing limbs in this game?

They were part of a group of people who went to fight a lot.

Plus they had Mercy as their doctor, someone who is literally incapable of healing anyone without turning them into a horrible monster or a mish-mash of meat and machine.

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?"

One thing I realized between beta and now is that I really don't like how Blizzard has assigned certain powers to certain keys, which completely throws off my normal FPS muscle memory. Does anyone know if there are per-character binds for individual powers, or am I gonna be fighting myself and decades of FPS for a couple of weeks?

Per hero binds. There's also special options for certain characters, like assigning Lucio's speed boost to holding down shift so it's kind of like a sprint.

Is that random hero match mode going to be in at launch? Never tried it during beta but wish I had.

Blizzard would be stupid not to since there's probably going to be people who are playing for the first time and having a mode that throws out a random hero is a good way for people to learn how to use them and experiment with unusual team structures.

You had 14 Days. If after that time you couldn't get servers running. I am deleting my characters, and cancelling all of my accounts. The rest of my group will follow suit, as will several other group and people that play Overwatch
.
To be brief, I did not work my rear end off, jumping through your idiotic hoops with my friends and grou[mates, so I could go to a login where only groups of 2 could enjoy the content. EVEN if past these initial moronic events I can finally get my entire group in to play with me, gently caress YOU GUYS. Seriously, gently caress YOU.

I cannot believe this... right now I'm just so pissed off. I am sitting here in the login screen, and 3/4 of my group is just sitting around while a group of 2 is repeatedly trying to log in. Don't you people have ANY loving DECENCY? KAPLAN WHY DON'T YOU STOP COUNTING YOUR MONEY AND START ISSUING ORDERS?

The tragic irony of creating the ultimate cockblock in the form of the login which requires 20 minutes to connect and then to limit attempts to 2 every second....

14 Days.... this site will change from the most popular OW fan site on the internet to the most popular Battleborn fan site on the internet. I'm done playing ball with you useless fuckers... it's my turn.

Problem is that there isn't actually that much you can do to 'figure out' literally millions of connections all trying to initialize at once.

Also the problem is once you pay for all the server capacity to handle millions of people trying to log in at once, once things stabilize, you've got a loving ton of servers sitting idle not doing poo poo.

Zarya dominates in Arcade mode. She never dies and has 100% charge constantly.

Tracer is also fun. Can recall and blink almost constantly.

Solo queue has kinda forced me to develop a Pharah and a Soldier at least for those moments where someone needs to hunt down that fuckin' mercy KILL MERCY FUCKERS

Winston is far better at picking off Mercy as he has enough health to get into the fray, a shield and an autolocking beam gun that melts Mercy and other squishy classes.

People shouldn't think of Winston as a Tank, he's more of an offensive support disruptor.

Mei is actually useful for non-trolling purposes as you can use her walls to boost people over inaccessible gaps, like the one in Hanamura, which means you can get your entire team, Reinhardt included, over that gap and attack from the wrong angle.

I like Genji, but I'm not the best at him. I'm competent enough to know how to combo and how to flank and which targets to prioritize, but I still have a lot of improvement.

Honestly I think you should be forced to get to level 20 in Play vs AI before you're allowed onto live servers to inflict your misery on others.

Genji's reflect will also kill Reaper when he does Death Blossom.

Anyway, a charming moment happened in a recent game: Roadhog decided to show his appreciation for Tracer and give her a nice big hug.

The sensible thing would be to use your credits to buy sprays. Sprays are the things most likely to drop from any given lootbox, so by having them all, each lootbox is essentially just a huge cache of credits with the occasional thing you actually want.

What's with voting for your favorite player at the end? What does it do?

It's an example of positive reinforcement, in the belief that praising people for their good actions makes them more likely to repeat them in the future.

Which is why you should always upvote healers, even if they're not on your team.

With sensitivity the advice I've always given is play at a comfortable level for a while, then lower it by a points. You'll barely notice a difference in movement but you will be much better.

It also helps to think of Bastion players as what they are: A bunch of people who have spent $40, or $60 with the Meadow skin, to sit in a corner and press M1. Money extremely well spent, I feel.
