People on GAF wanting the char limit to be 1 of each per team are morons, that's what so appealing to me.
Using multiple tanks to break through a choke point or raining death with 3-4 Pharahs because there are 3 Bastions fucking up your shit.

I can honestly see I've never seen more than 2 Widows at once and mostly they're pretty shite so there's no reason to be upset.
Multiple Tracers can be a handful, but I'll just hook and splat them as Roadhogg.

Widowmaker and Genji are the only people I'd put a limit on.
And I mean they share the limit too. I don't know what blizz was thinking putting 2 snipers in the game. Thank god there's no 2fort map

Maybe we'll see something in the future but I don't find it a problem personally.
Having 6 tracers in this weekly brawl is hilarious though.

the problem is the 3 Widowmakers on MY team. i dont care if the other team is 5 bastions tbh
What do you even do to Widow that won't wreck her ability to keep certain shit in check? Molten-core is ridiculous and Bastion w/ Mercy can do damage at long range (silly as hell at times). People are going to stop setting up turrets and Bastions in easy to snipe angles.
Lower the damage on body shots? Now, her natural predators can come kill her off of the first hit. Winston, D.Va and Genji don't give two fucks about the poison bomb of hers. A crafty crouching reaper ruins her shit too.
She's already a high skill and high reward character.
I guess one fix is to make the call out for her ult a lot louder, even if it actually goes against the character's design. You practically have to guess when she walls.

i didn't think widow was overly powerful.
i hope people learn to play against turrets, at the moment it's way to easy to dominate with bastion, dwarf man and supportlady.

By Dipro Go To Posti didn't think widow was overly powerful.Really haven't seen much issue with Bastion lately. It's all McRee, Mei and Widowmaker bodyshots. And sort of 76.

yeah it's more dwarf now but my teammates die lots and lots to turrets and have no idea what to do against them. couple of my friends quit because of turrets, not saying they are OP but people haven't figured out how to deal with them just yet.
Getting owned this reaper while I was TorBjorn.
Wasted an ult trying to get him but I ended up needing help from Soldier a lot to get rid of him.
Still won though

By OneTwoTee Go To PostNew Brawl is a laugh for one game, then gets boring.yea i played it with a friend and thought it was fun for 5 minutes
Won't touch it again this week.
How's the learning curve in this game? Especially where all the characters are concerned such as which abilities characters have, or identifying the opposing team and knowing what kind of abilities they have at their disposal.
Want to pick this up with ps+

Even 3 of certain characters can be a problem. Ran into 3 Pharah's, Mercy, and I think 2 Lucio's. It looked like a Japanese shoot-em-up when the ults launched. lol

lmfao. This would be Dreams if he ever healed.

i wonder if there will ever be a day when people actually try to take out the enemy mercy
or you know, just keep letting her heal everyone and building up ults to just revive them when u actually do kill them

Data being one of the smart ones !
Had the worst gaming night ever on Overwatch, 9 L's and one fluke win.
Not so much people picking the wrong character but more that they didn't do anything.
You'd expect people at lvl 50 and higher know the game a bit more.
We had our Reinhardt taking some damage and rather take a medpack or call out for our Zenyatta, he returned to base on King's Row to heal up.
Best one was our Junkrat suiciding 5 times because he couldn't figure out how to packjump.

I really got to get in friends groups again so A) I don't have to play Tank & supports B) I can get that 20% exp boost
I got Safari Winston.

It's weird that people call McRee a tank killer
because he's also a flanker killer
and a support killer
and an everything killer

Well, apparently they're looking into him and his flashbang.
To bad though, great char, top tier but not that OP imo.
If I were to change anything, it's his fan the hammer. Either slow the speed down or something because that's the ridiculousness of it.
I don't get mad if a skilled McCree kills me but Spam The Hammer isn't skillfull.

it's not that steep.
most have very straight forward abilities, you basically know what it does when you see it. you can go in training mode and quickly swap characters and test it out, that way you can familiarize yourself with the hero.
i'd say it takes you and hour or two to get what everyone does. it's an easy to learn hard to master type of game.
Outside of the foolishness that comes with stacking certain characters, it's fun seeing what synergies come from matching different heroes/villains (played out on different maps too). If you have a comp with a Lucio and a Mercy, Lucio can focus on healing and Mercy can focus on damage boosting whichever character is doing the most dps, and rezzing every five seconds.
Zarya is great with everyone, but it's awesome when she rolls with Old Man 76. Between his healing station and her shields every few seconds, he's a turret with an aimbot and she turns into his portable artillery.
If your left clicks are on point with Junkrat, you can handicap yourself and give Widowmaker an escape, by covering the second flank she has with a trap. When triggered, it gives you enough time to yell on the mic, and tell her to gtfo. Also, buys her enough time if the opps are being careless. If you're really being nice, you can put the C4 on the wall and kill whomever falls victim to it.
McCree's hammer-time is getting nerfed, but I do wonder what they're going to do to fix D.Va. The director said a dps upgrade was off of the table (rightfully so), but it's clear as day that something needs to be done.

im fucking marking the mercy with my damage-multiplying orb for a reason
dont fucking go against the reinhert jesus

Played with a McCree earlier that was crying about the enemy Genji, literally typed in chat "I wish Genji took skill"
i've never seen an entire lobby unite for one cause before

I wish Mercy's pistol was hit-scan. Like, let me not have to work so hard to protect myself, plz. :(
Had a team that sent assassins after me and me alone, for the entirety of the match. Couldn't hide anywhere and couldn't heal/rez for shit. If it wasn't Widow, it was Genji and D.Va.. Managed to catch Genji lacking once, by baiting the deflect. :/ I did get revenge by killing a Pharah in a 1v1 with no interference. I hope his/her squad laughed at them. >:|

Genji is great, don't know why I never touched before last night. That speed, that deflect, although TorBjorn his turrets completely eat me up.
I keep mistaking the Ultimate tho, should I activate it before a fight so it can wind up or?

Remember when people freaked out about rampant cheating in Overwatch?
As promised, Blizzard is fanning the hammer at Overwatch cheaters. In China alone, 1572 players have been named, shamed and shown the door. Western cheaters are faring no better. Judging by aggrieved posts on the forums of popular hack providers, Overwatch is proving difficult to fool.
Cheaters are being hit by serial bans even after buying new copies. "Got banned one day after the official release," one enemy of fair play recounts. "Thought I got detected for using RPM tools, because the game was crashing for it at that time.
"Bought the game again… didn't hack on it at all, just wanted to enjoy the game a bit. Two days later—banned again.
"Bought the game… again. But before doing that, I deleted Overwatch and launcher completely. Enjoyed it again without cheating only for a day."
On his fourth attempt, he purged his PC, changing hard drive IDs, MAC address, BiosDate and buying a VPN to throw Blizzard's anticheat off. It didn't work.
Blizzard pledged that it would be taking a no-nonsense approach to cheaters, and from the delectable wording of the ban notice, it's staying true to its word.
"Our support staff will not overturn these closures and may not respond to appeals."
Let's hope the false positives are small, eh?
By DY_nasty Go To PostOne of my best games ever came when I was playing Lucio opposite Mercy. The synergy was so unfair.
Lucio mercy is the pro scene meta. Every squad has a lucio, mercy, mcree (most times two), and a tank (usually reinhardt).
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI wish Mercy's pistol was hit-scan. Like, let me not have to work so hard to protect myself, plz. :(
you're not supposed to be able to protect yourself consistently as mercy. she's supposed to be squishy and bad 1v1 against the entire cast.
By Rob Go To Postwow I finally got a chance to watch Seagull stream while using Genji
he is a god with this character
he is a god period. dude is not fair.
By Trey Go To Postyou're not supposed to be able to protect yourself consistently as mercy. she's supposed to be squishy and bad 1v1 against the entire cast.
Oh, I know. No different than TF2 medic (before the crossbow). Still, the feeling of despair you get when Mei walls you off from the squad and you hear Genji is real af. Have to play gdlk to survive. :(
