If this isn't a build up to a buy-in for beta access launched during Blizzcon Blizzard are absolutely retarded.

Hype is already dropping and it will never be this high again. If they want to cash in now is the time.

It took you long enough to realize that, specially after Diablo 3 and Hearthstone. Blizzard is trying really hard to break into the consoles, tablets and smartphones market.

Doubtful because, again, the banners go against that theory. The Scourge looks nothing like The Savior. He appears to have a squarer jaw and black hair, while The Savior looks very Thor-like. I think that it goes exactly how the banners tell the story, with the cinematic supplementing it.

>Original Doomfist was a great hero, which is why his own weapons are held in the Overwatch Museum rather than destroyed
>The second Doomfist was a villain who possibly worked for Talon, which is why Widowmaker was sent to recover it back after he was defeated
>The third Doomfist we know nothing about, only that he's a 'successor' to one of the others.
I don't think the Overwatch museum would have an entire wing glorifying a villain unless there was a real reason to.
>>
>>121355685
If you're really good at McCree then picking McCree gives you the best chance of winning.

If you're bad at McCree, which you probably are, and pick him anyway, you're going to lose.

There's no scores.

Maybe they'll put in experience gain on characters and you can't get other outfits until you reach a certain level, so a founders pack might come with an exp boost.

Got into the EU beta yesterday, and my fears are true.
This is basically the FPS version of HotS. As in you can do a lot of cool stuff without even trying and that is fun initially, but gets boring extremely fast.
I'll play a bit more to see if the "strategic aspect" of the game is just as shallow as I thought it would be, because the shooter elements certainly are.

Why am I an idiot?
>they're garbage ults
How good the ults are doesn't really change how dumbed down they are in terms of player input
>>121360826
Like I said, it doesn't really change the fact that, for the player using it, you just gotta stand still and vaguely line up with what you want to kill. That's just dumb
>>
>>121360709

because it's a game made for blizard babies where everyone is a winner

so even a super shitter can get a killstreak with an ult and feel good about himself

you're all complete shit for not understanding the role of medic in TF2.

The medic is the primary caller, meaning he has to make most of the right calls and team movements, and keep everyone healed. You only have a pocket because everyone else is either flanking or will jump away like a demo, you need at least one person to stick by. The medic is effectively the team captain

That's because you are unable to see the decision making that will go in mind with it. Use McCree's ult whenever and people will just hide and do nothing, or a sniper will shoot your ass standing still. As you say "walk up to people and press a button" as Reaper and you will get shot before you even get close. S:76's ult is useless in the first place, there's little reason to ever use it and he's the designated babby hero

Maybe you should watch some good players before you try talking about the "auto aim" ults. They are easy to mechanically execute, hard to actually do anything with. This is fine, not everything needs to require MLG quickscope mechanics
>>
>>121354249
What if this guy was actually D.va's mech?
>>
>>121361106
not really. Overwatch has this moba type teamwork where you have to cooperate with your teammates and their special abilities, Tf2 is way more about DM. You still need a lot of teamwork, but it's not like reinhardt blasting 4 enemies stuck in zarya's ult. It's more like dive bombing the medic the medic while the scouts run through the doors all at the same time.

In fact I heard b4nny was complaining about a lack of indepth movement mechanics and no rocket jumping
>>
>>121361101
Soldier is baby FPS mode, so his ult is pretty easy to use.
And Reaper is easy to kill.
They are easy to use for the player using them, but they are easy to counter for the people against them.

It's countered by shields, and the more hp you have the longer he has to stand around being a target.

I know, and that's what troubles me. I think that's just poor design overall. You're going to be frustrated when you find it hard to do anything with your ability if the other team is not stupid, and when it works you're not going to feel like you accomplished much because the ability itself did most of the work for you.
I'd rather have an ability that's hard to use, and hard to counter.
>>121361272
When I was watching the time2reap, the Phlogistinator from TF2 came up in my mind as a comparison. It's easy to stop, easy to fluke, you need good awareness to use it to full potential. But even then, for the Phlog, you still need to MOVE after players, you still need to turn to face them, you can jump and you can switch weapons and prioritize who you want to roast first. And even then, people still shit on it because it takes little skill.
Compare that to the time2reap which just completely takes the control away from you when you use it. To me, it seems dumb.

nah, nearly all women of all races with a few exceptions. Iranian girls and Arabic girls probably look the most youthful due to keeping out of the sun for a lot of their early life. (Too hot during the day, most of them go shopping and stuff when the sun sets).

But I've seen all types of girls that start to look old once they hit 25-30. The absolute worst are the ones that use tanning salons like it's some sort of addiction; they look like 50 year old cow leather by the time they are 30.

That's the point. You lose all control of your character aside from slow ass moving when you use it, so you better pop it at the right time or you're fucked. Honestly, I've seen many people just run away from the stupid thing.

reaper, tracer, mercy boosted widowmaker can 1-shot most classes.

Tracer to a lesser extent, she's more of a harass/hey look at me instead of the people that actually do damage/scout but she can still pick off low hp people fast and take people out with her ult.

If the console port thing is true, then I guess it makes sense since D3 did pretty well on console.

As for the price, if this game isn't F2P or monetized similarly to CSGO then it's going to become the next Evolve. The 60 dollar price point doesn't make sense to me. This is the type of game that screams "Buy this widowmaker rainbow bikini skin only 14.99" :^)

The only damage boosted character in that post I replied to was widowmaker. I do agree a damage boosted headshots from him can kill 200 hp characters if every pellet from the shotgun hits.
