She's a fighter dude. Her wall is to trap her prey/give her the mobility advantage. The only "supporting" she'll be doing is killing off more aggressive fighters before they reach the back lines.

I want to main D.Va, but because the community is shit, i'm often forced to play Reinhardt and Lucio
I'll switch to whatever the team needs but I'll usually play this guy
>>334954373

>>334955713

She isn't a support she is a defender there is a difference. This isn't a moba. Support and defender and different things.

jesus at least have three or four. faggots like you guys are why you end up with TF2 servers where each team has three snipers and three spies
>>334954373
haven't played it but from what I've seen Reaper, McCree, Soldier 76, Bastion and Reinhardt look fun.
>>334954373
Reinhardt most likely
But as soon as the game goes live it's pubstomping with Mei for a few weeks.

>yfw people will sperg out when their main gets taken from them
Going by role I'll probably play Pharah, Junkrat, Zarya and Lucio the most.
Is there a playerbase more cancerous than Tracerfags?
>>334954373
>main
It's a game where you need to be adaptable the concept of "manning" in general is retarded if you're not competent with every character of the roster no matter the game or genre you're fucking trash especially if it's team based you're a straight up one trick pony and a detriment to your team
>>334955343
I played scout exclusively in tf2 so probably this.
>>334954373
>Main
Funny memes. Its a game about swapping on the fly to support your team with what they need. Hope you don't plan on doing competitive if you are gonna main someone.Mei, not because of THICC but because her Wall is such a powerful ability to prevent pushes and retreats

Probably Mercy because I plan to pocket my friend, I always played TF2 with him and pocketed him there. I'll definitely try out other characters, but Mercy looks like a lot of fun.

Probably tracer or Mei

Shut the fuck up you dumb cuck. Literally bursts down tanks in a second hiding in a corner on a fucking point.

I plan to help my other teammates, I'll do whatever the situation requires, the main reason I pocketed in TF2 was because generally it wasn't worthwhile to heal my teammates when my friend was doing the majority of the killing. If keeping the entire team alive is beneficial then I will do it, I'm not expecting to play exactly like TF2, but I have no firsthand experience with Overwatch. Also what's wrong with giving preferential treatment to someone when they do the majority of the work?

>>334960286
I've played it
I'm sure a fair number here have after the last test weekend.
>>334960030
it's 60 for deluxe edition, 40 with the basic game
I mained heavy in tf2 compet, so probably a tank.
I find healing monotonous and cuckish but enjoy helping the team, so maybe someone like Reinhardt or Zharya
The funnest and most enjoyable tank looks to be Roadhog though, that hook man.
It's nice for there to be tanks in an FPS, something somebody has really done to this degree before.
As for damage dealers, 76 looks pretty beast, and I'd probably enjoy Bastion just as I can play him one handed.
If I can to go support, Lucio looks rad.
I'm just really looking forward to it, not been this excited for something since first week at uni.
Haven't touched the beta but
Possible mains: Junkrat, Reaper, or Zenyatta
Possible subs: Lucio, McCree, Mei, Hanzo, and '76
>>334960030
40 bucks for the game and 60 if you want faggot skins, a uselss pet in wow, a hero in Zeros of the storm, wings in diablo 3People still play that trash?and FUCKING PLAYER ICONS IN STARCRAFT
>>334956491
What's the lore on why Soldier 76 aged like twice as fast as everyone else in this pic?
is it free yet?
>>334960668
Or 40 for the game AND all those extras if you buy from a third party retailer like a smart person.
>>334960696
I hope it never goes free. I don't want to spend 10 dollars for every new fucking character
>>334960672
He's seen some shit
>>334959953
His turret mode opens him up to a world of hurt, he's literally a glass cannon at that point. Almost any combination of characters can take him out if they are skillful.
>>334955713
Mei is a fighter, not a support. Every character is capable of dishing out tons of damage because surprise surprise, bullets hurt.
Offense - Focus on mobility and outmaneuvering opponents in fights
Defense - Focus on zone control and protecting objectives.
Tank - Focuses on resilience and straight up slugging it out with opponents.
Support - Reinforces allies through various means.
>>334958840
>>334959953
If you think Bastion is "overpowered" you are the very definition of a shitter that needs to get good and if anything Bastion actually needs buffs.

>>334961054
It's Pharah's mother.
>>334960809
This. Blizzard is banking on making this game have a long lifecycle by adding new characters and maps for free (more people will buy it as time goes on). If it was f2p they would cuck it up with microtransactions and or dlc having to pay for new characters.Also if you can't afford 40 dollars just break your Brazilian modem right now.
>>334960809

>>334961020

>>334961371
You don't. 40 dollars for everything, including future characters
but if its F2P, you god damn guarantee they will charge 10 dollars for every new content
>>334961401
Everyone is just going to play what ever the most over-powered class is until it gets nerfed and moved to the next one.
>>334960958
Bastion's turret mode damage is off the charts, its not really up for debate.
Not to mention he's immune to displacement effects while in turret mode like Lucio's right-click.
Displacement seems like a reasonable counter to a "squat in the corner" hero.
>>334961458
40 US maybe
Still too much in Aussie autismbux
>>334955343

>>334961240
Bads play Bastion because he has a low skill floor. He's one of the easiest characters to pick up and play, and against other inexperienced players Bastion is also very powerful. He's also the single easiest character to outplay, more experienced players will trounce him with ease and at higher levels Bastion has minuscule impact. He's extremely squishy and he also has to render himself immobile to maximize his DPS. In a game centered around being able to stay on the move while pressuring objectives or opponents, that is a very bad thing. Not to mention the maps have tons of ways to get around when you utilize a hero's tools properly.
So yeah, get good.
>>334961580
>Bastion's turret mode damage is off the charts, its not really up for debate.
No shit, that's the point. He sacrifices mobility for raw damage. And Bastion can be displaced. The counter to Bastion is flanking him. Utilize your mobility and the map to get around him and take him out.
I played Junkrat the most in the beta weekend. I'm surprised that he's a lot more like TF2 demoman than I anticipated.
Putting a mine on a wall and knocking people into my trap, then again blowing the fuck out of them with my launcher, is the greatest thing in the world.

Having never played the game, and only going by what I see:
Reinhardt (Future Knight)
Roadhog (Pudge with guns)
Symmetra (I played TF2 a lot, and Torbjorn is too similar to Engi)
Mercy (Flying medic)
Zenyatta (More active support than Mercy)
Genji (Anything with a counter button is my shit)
Zarya, if one of her skins makes her hair a normal color.
>>334956539
>You should main them all
Stupidest argument i always hear.
Meta game will determine what characters are actually worth playing as if you want to stay competitive, witch i presume will be around 5-8 ''top tier'' characters
If you are ''good'' at everyone but dont really excel with any, expect to get stomped by people who actually perfected their top tier characters playstyles. And you will have no one else to blame but
>(you)
>>334961845
>staying on the move
Yeah he gets up and parks his fucking turret at the next objective you tard.
You're implying he's only good at noob smashing yet how would you even know this? All of the access players have had to the game so far is just basic beta not a bunch of competitive play, so you are literally talking out of your ass.
And a character having a low skill ceiling and being able to absolutely dominate with retards at the helm is overpowered.
Again not saying to nerf him into oblivion but you are fucking deluded if you think he isn't extremely powerful and op.
>>334956345
>I heal
>I kill
>yadada
>I know the contradiction
>>334961845
You cant flank a corner
Not to mention the heroes most suited to counter bastion (Junkrat) are far too squishy to fight their way into range
>>334961536
Every hero has plenty of others that counter it. The only disphits who believed things were overpowered in the beta were the ones who mained in the first place. Take Bastion, who everyone was whining about. Genji can deflect all his bullets back at him, Junkrat can use his tire, Tracer and Reaper can teleport around and behind him, Widowmaker and Hanzo can snipe him, and Reinhardt can shield or charge him. And that's all I found and used every time one of them hunkered down. The whole game is about switching heroes to counter the enemy. If you can't do that, you'll just keep losing to that "overpowered" character even if you try playing him.
>>334954373
I don't think this is that kind of game. Haven't played it, but it's like tf2, right? You don't main anyone in tf2.
>>334956020
I am trying to like this guy, but I can't understand exactly how he works. I think I can just upgrade the turret once, and that's it... but it doesn't seem to even require scrap? And the hell does his ult do except let me upgrade the turret once more and whack if faster and shoot faster? Feels lackluster and like a poor man's engineer with only one upgrade level for the turret, one level locked behind ult, and aside from that he just sucks dick with a reload that feels super long. Can someone explain this fucker to me?
>>334958679
Yes
I started playing with her yesterday and i am having a blast, even tough i dont really care for this type of games.

>mfw when learning that your own mines don't hurt you
>>334955919
This. I haven't been able to heal slut like this in forever
>>334962397
His ult also
>fully heals you and your turret
>on top of that, gives you both a health buff
It turns you and your turret into high-damage tanks and is pretty broken.
>>334955919
Mercy is best support.
>>334962232
There are tournaments for Overwatch for Overwatch on a semi-frequent basis, so I am not talking out of my ass, it is you that is misinformed. Bastion has one of the lowest pickrates in the game at high levels because of how easy he is to beat and the fact that he really doesn't get anything done unless people conga-line into him like retards which newcomers are apt to do. To get the most out of Bastion you also have to be on the move, you cannot afford to stay in one place for more than 30 seconds at a time and you cannot be afraid to engage enemies in Recon mode. Again, Bastion needs buffs. If anything he needs his shield back, or to have his Recon mode be more reliable.
>>334962309
>You cant flank a corner
But you can bomb him out of it. Genji and Tracer hard counter Bastion and he's also pretty squishy. Bastion can "park in a corner" but he would also be reducing his potential impact by just sitting around, and this is a game where you really need to be doing shit.
I'll probably play a lot of Lucio. He's my favorite character so far since even after whatever adjustments they made between this and the last time I played he's still really good.
His heal is kinda weak now but just hanging around your team helps and it prevents the frustration of say playing Mercy and figuring out that your teammates are complete retards who get themselves killed one by one.
His gun hurts pretty bad at short/medium range, he can take some damage, his ult isn't amazing but is useful, his wall run is awesome, and the speed boost is also awesome.

Jesus Christ. I'm talking about my experiences with this game, have you played in these high level tournaments to know that bastion doesn't get picked? How do you even know that?
Cannot believe you want this fucker buffed
>>334963162
It's a meme by people who have only watched retards play with other retards, you have to time your ults right.
>>334963204
I think he is fine now they just need to nerf his deploy time a little. i hate when i almost have a bastion and he fucking mounts up and melts me.
>>334963204
Not him but Bastion is a monster in pubs, but that's about it. You can find people playing in scrims on twitch, that's not the best way to see how the team comps work, but it's close enough and it might show you who gets picked most of the time.
>>334963186
Well if you're with at least 2-3 other people or within range of your whole team your efficiency is through the roof.
The real problem I'm having is remembering to Always. Be. Wallrunning. if you can help it. It makes you really fucking hard to hit.
Also like in Nepal, you almost can't die by being knocked into the central pit on I think the 2nd or 3rd point because you can always just wallrun right out.
Also goddamn that knockback is hilariously good. Half my kills attacking in Hanamura are punting shitters off the back balcony into the first point when they're trying to sneak in.

People play in scrims and tourneys on Twitch dude, what rock are you living under?
>I'm talking about my experiences with this game
I'm aware, and so am I. I have played the game, albeit briefly, and Bastion is incredibly easy to play around. Many of the people that played also played as if they've never used a fucking mouse before. Truthfully every hero in the game is pretty solid for pub play but Bastion is one of the weakest and it's people like you that will lead to him getting undue nerfs because they can't rub two brain cells together and actually think about how they play the game.
>>334963781
Your lack of knowledge on the subject doesn't make your statements true, either. And no, Bastion is almost never picked in tournaments.
>>334960764
link? I want the tracer skin, but that's it def not worth 60
>>334962998
>Genji is a hard counter to Bastion
You'd think, right? Genji's deflect actually takes out barely half his HP before getting gutted. That is, if Bastion is slow to realize he's getting deflected. Then, he waits till deflect stops and melts him
Is Zenyatta any good? His skillset seems kind of bland, but at the same time pretty useful, and I've heard that he actually does surprising damage. Also, playing as a floating robotic monk who attacks using his prayer beads seems pretty cool.
>>334964093
Post more lewds and ill get you in next weekend :^)
Genji and Mercy
>>334964218
The deflect is not the sole reason why. Genji moves like a goddamn spider monkey across the map and can flank him with the greatest of ease, not to mention that Genji's LShift puts him behind the opponent.

Prove it. From everything we have to go on and everything that I've seen and the response from people playing the beta bastion is fantastic, the thing you have refuting this are these "tournaments" for a game that isn't even out and your word saying that bastion never gets picked. Do you sit and watch every single tournament? Do you have any proof that bastion doesn't get picked?
Or you can just keep responding with insults like saying "two brain cells to rub together" with your shitty tumblr tier anime pics
>>334956021
>low skilled at 20 characters
>high skilled at 1 character
kill yourself casual shitter you are the reason your team loses every match
>>334964229
His charge attack does a pretty impressive amount of damage it you debuff first. Big thing about playing him is to keep a huge distance - luckily both his heal and debuff are only limited by line of sight and his beads are very accurate.

Easy to use and wrecks shitters, but horrible against people who know what they're doing
>>334964831
is he a cyborg?
how would his arms fit into armor like that
McCree, Soldier 76, Mei, Bastion, Roadhog, Mercy will probably be my mains.
I really think they need to tweak Tanks/Support. Tanks don't feel all that rewarding to play. Roadhog is the exception where he is extremely fun and will probably be a favorite for the Tank class. I want to enjoy Winston but his jump ability is more for mobility than damage and his Ult is only good for controlling a point. You literally just hold down a button to hurt people, that's his playstyle. Support suffers like Tanks where it feels like Mercy is the go-to character to play. Her heals are extremely powerful.
>>334964159
Not him, but it's the cheapest I could find. I've bought from them several times, they're alright. You can also check out Kinguin, they have it a dollar cheaper, but it's EU only.

Pubs are already pretty shit as is, its common to see one Hanzo on your team that does absolutely nothing all game.

Sure thing Senpai
>>334964668
Sit your dumb ass down.
>I am probably better at this game than you faggot
Not if you genuinely think that Bastion is broken.
>>334965137
His left arm and chest armor are cybernetic. Even if you use a new skin, it's always the case.
In competitive can players choose the same character? That was one complaint I had playing the beta. Having a team with 3 Tracers is lame as fuck. It should be 1 hero per team, no clones. I'm ok with the opposing team having the same character, but not your own team.
>>334965270
>being a smegma eating faggot
cancer.
>>334965485
>Mei that low
It's always the minority that's loudest.
>>334964668
The usual team comp is 2 tracer's 2 lucios McCree and Winston or what ever tank.
Sorry to tell you but bastion is nowhere to be found Mr. Pubstar.
>>334965485
Please do tell what exactly this image is based on?
Sourcing would also be nice.
>>334965659
This is comp usage friendo.
>>334965659
I have heard a lot of people say that Mei is op too, if that guys image is actually legit that will be interesting.
>>334965581
Yes, might get changed from the complaining though
>>334965719
We're all pubstars here because we have only played fucking beta, you aren't a tourney player mate and I don't even understand all this tourney shit in an unreleased game.
>>334965456
more
>>334965719
apparently comp has been avoiding koth maps like the plague lately, specifically because they're sick of 2 tracer shit. Now it's 2 mcree everywhere
>>334965980
Never said I was anything more, you just claimed knowledge of a game when you're just a weekender.
>>334965178
Thank you very much anon, I luv you
The "pro" matches I watched were pretty much like all tracer/winston/lucio.
Winston seems really broken in the right hands so I imagine he's due for a nerf sometime after release if people figure it out.
>>334954373
> Main
I'm always amazed when I see people talking about maining in team based games like this. Talking about mains should be reserved for fighting games, and even then most players have a backup character, if not a couple, they're good at too.
In a game like Overwatch, Team Fortress 2, or any given MOBA the characters are simple enough that you can master a few and become pretty good with several times that many. In fact doing so will make you more successful, because not only will you be more versatile in who you can play, but playing characters is the best way to learn how to play against them.
I mean it's a video game at the end of the day so if that's what floats your boat, but your shooting yourself in the foot if you have any intention of "gettin gud."
>>334966110
I don't know if you're being serious since you posted that gif, but you're welcome.
>>334966093
I claimed knowledge of a game because I was under the impression that those who have played the game only could do so on the same level I had played it on. Now people are telling me there is somehow tourneys on twitchcancer and I'm trying to understand that and get sources for what the other guy is saying.
>>334966007
gots u
>>334965485
>>334964668
Here's another for you. Quit fucking crying about Bastion already.
>>334965747
The image is based on tournament pickrate. Whether or not you are aware of or accept their existence is irrelevant. Your feelings are irrelevant in the face of numbers. As it stands Bastion is one of the least picked heroes, and even going beyond pickrates Bastion is also easily countered with simple coordination, map knowledge, and actually being able to use heroes decently. You play fucking TRACER, so for you to say that Bastion is "overpowered" is honestly depressingly stupid. No one fucking plays Bastion. The only people that will have extreme difficulty with Bastion are newcomers and plain bad players. Even Blizzard has come out and said that Bastion is a character that is simply going to stomp at low levels.
>>334965178
Legit or shit?
>>334954373
Im going for zenyatta first, he looks like a good support char.
But idk mcree looks badass and I love revolvers in games
>>334965523
There are some skins that makes me want to play characters i have little interest on them.
This is one of them.BASEDASED

>>334966446
I haven't bought it yet, I'll decide when I play the beta, but it should be legit. I boughtRainbow Six Siege, Zestiria and 1 or 2 other games from there. They all work fine.
>>334966423
Didn't expect to like Zarya and Mercy that much before playing
>>334966606
What do you want us to say? I don't watch e-sports as I find it boring.
>>334966616
Thicker you say senpai?

>>334958292
wait is she out?
>>334966870
I'm brave when i got a quest for a beta invite yo
>>334966934
Yeah just pre order the $60 version of Overwatch like a good goy and you can play her.
>>334956021
I can agree with you to some degree but I feel like everyone should have a main for each role
>>334966976
I'm sorry to break it to you, anon, buthe lied
>>334966435
I actually mainly played Mei which according to your images is worse than bastion
Can you at least source these images? If they are accurate you are correct and I will capitulate as anyone should when objectively proven incorrect. Even still I I think it poses issues to have someone who is op in pubs to such a degree and then not very useful in a tournament setting. There should be ways to balance that.
>>334966870
Be an hero anon, do it.
>>334967018
i would if it was friday

>>334966446
I'm the anon who brought up third party retailers earlier and this is indeed the one I was talking about. I've purchased a bunch of games from them, they're legit.
>>334967178
My last vacation was for a month. A bit scared to do it, senpai.
>>334967358
Do you get early open beta access with these third party keys?
Mccree
Dva
Genji
Zenyatta
>>334967421
Sadly no, but it's only a difference of two days so I'll gladly take the $20 savings. Worth noting that you WILL still get the Noire Widowmaker skin being given out to folks for preordering.
>>334967130
Oh...
Ok...
haha cool joke guys haha that was ebin
>>334967421
I don't think so. I've checked other 3rd party retailers and some had it written that you won't get early access since they won't be getting their keys that early.
>>334967421
I wonder this too.
>>334967132
The source is in the image, Planet Overwatch. Once the game finally releases then more sites will carry on doing fully fleshed out infographics like Gosugamers. In the mean time you can look out for Overwatch events on Twitch. Bastion is a complete afterthought in these games. The point of me bringing up Tracer by the way, is that Tracer can singlehandedly take Bastion out of the game. I have, on more than one occasion, dashed into people, stuck Bastions, and blinked out uncontested. Tracer can flank him with the greatest of ease and Bastion needs babysitting or extreme awareness unless he can find a phenomenal camping spot at the right time.
>>334966651
Tracer, D.Va, Lucio, and Torbjorn were the main ones that caught me by surprise.
>>334966310
I am being serious, it was just the first happy gif I saw. Heres a better one
Zenyatta aka most versatile support.
And no, I'm not lowering myself to playing BR HUE Lucio, I have fucking standards.
>>334964054
>Reaper or Phara ulti
>hook them and blow their faces off
Road Hog rides again
>>334967421
>>334967629
Forgot to mention that you could just pre-order it from game.co.uk (or amazon too, probably), get into early access and cancel your order.
>>334967629
whose the Jizz Djinn on the left there?
>>334966435
>Pharah so low tier
It-It can't be...
>>334967878
pharah
>>334967132
I play Mei and she is perfectly fine in a pub environment, and even in comp a pocket mei can stop tracer's and genjis, she's just a really situational counter pick.
>>334959372
>that webm
remember guys, this is a simple shooter with a low skill ceiling. It will never reach the levels of skill tf2 requires
blizzdrones and casual babbies are the cancer killing the fps market
kys please, thanks, this is more casual than tf2 and it boggles the mind, having played it
BAMF
>>334966435
>Mei is with bastion in the lowest tier
>people still complain that she's OP
Junkrat or Pharah depending on the map
Zarya if I'm with a friend
Tracer if somehow there isn't a reaper or tracer already on the team
Lucio if nobody is playing support or I feel like winning
Widow once in a blue moon if I feel the team needs a sniper
>>334966435
FRIENDLY REMINDER NOT TO POST THIS IMAGE EVER AGAIN WITHOUT TELLING PEOPLE THE DATA COMES FROM TOURNAMENT GAMES AND THEREFORE IS HIGHLY SKEWERED SINCE TOURNAMENT GAMES HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE CLUSTERFUCK OF PEOPLE COPYING 2 TEAMS
>>334968108
First skin I'm going for
>>334966435
Mei seems good to me, I don't understand her wall is pretty useful, her right clicks do good damage, and the freeze is good too. Am I missing something?
>>334966435
>played Lucio in the first stress test
>felt insanely overpowered
>got nerfed like crazy

well at least I'm not alone. Weird how NOBODY bitches about him though
>>334968312

>>334968372
That others are stronger desu
>>334954373
So I wanted to start off by saying, I think the development team has done a pretty great job with the cast of female hero's in Overwatch. They are diverse, interesting, and compelling. From Mei to Zarya to Widowmaker the female cast reflects a large spectrum of personalities and player fantasies.
With that being said, lets talk about Tracer. From a marketing standpoint, she's the star of the show. She's a great hero. When we look at the way she's portrayed in promotional media, lore, and art in game we know a few things about her..
She's Fast.
She's Silly.
She's Kind.
She's a good Friend.
Her body seems to be comprised of about 95% spunk.
Almost all of her art reflects this. She's got cool skins, fun poses and amazing victory animations.
All of this art reinforces the great character they've built around tracer.
Then out of seemingly no where we have this pose. WHAT? What about this pose has anything to do with the character they're building in tracer? It's not fun, its not silly, it has nothing to do with being a fast elite killer. It just reduces tracer to another bland female sex symbol.
We aren't looking at a widowmaker pose here, this isn't a character who is in part defined by flaunting her sexuality. This pose says to the player base, oh we've got all these cool diverse characters, but at any moment we are willing to reduce them to sex symbols to help boost our investment game.
I have a young daughter that everyday when I wake up wants to watch the recall trailer again. She knows who tracer is, and as she grows up, she can grow up alongside these characters.
What I'm asking is that as they continue to add to the overwatch cast and investment elements, double down on their commitment to create strong female characters. They've been doing a good job so far, but shipping with a tracer pose like this undermines so much of the good they've already done.
>>334968312
this one is my favorite, I like the black and gold, plus doge head OP
>>334968171
>kys
Opinion discarded.
>>334968439
whoa dude why do you wear clothes? Fucking wasting money on that shit bro? fucking disgusting
>>334968306
see
>>334964936
this game already seems like a huge joke competitively. Letting you have multiple of the same hero on one team will make it DOA as an esport.
>>334968128
Also yeah this. In pubs a lot of this stuff won't matter, I'm going to keep playing Bastion, Torb, and Roadhog because I have a lot of fun with them, but when people say shit like "Bastion is overpowered and should be nerfed" then they can fuck right off. That said I see myself playing Roadhog more and more going down the line.
>>334968306
Read the thread you goober, that's the point of the image.
>>334968267
I just think she's annoying as all hell.
>>334968372
Her effective range is really low outside of her M2 and she's fairly situational.
