Re: Overwatch

Playing against a team of genjis was interesting. Felt like they were around all the time.

Last week's Brawl was pretty wild - Only Genji/Hanzo, with reduced cooldowns.

This week's one is better though - I really like the random hero thing.

Re: Overwatch

Yeah...it's quite satisfying when the other team switches to all Tracers and they can't get anywhere. So they switch to all Pharahs and they can't get anywhere.

The only one-hero team I've seen that's OP is Soldier76...look up some of the videos by JackFrags or Matimi0...but even then, they can be beat if there is a coordinated attack.

I think it's very well balanced. Anything can be countered if it's coordinated.

Yeah, me and a team of randoms beat a 6 76 team - was pretty satisfying. I played D.Va, had backup from a good Mercy and soaked up a lot of their shots with Matrix while the team behind me killed them.

Re: Overwatch

I still want to try an all Winston team. Have a feeling that would just be mayhem with him flying all across the map constantly.

It's about Widow.

Re: Overwatch

The compelling argument in the post above yours explains why.

I'd say one hero only per team is a dream and null & void.

Yeah I understand the other argument fine, it's just not for me. It doesn't ruin the game for me or anything I would just prefer if there was a limit of one for each character.

Re: Overwatch

Not sure I would want them to limit heroes to one per team, maybe a max of three? I don't know, doesn't really bother me. Only time I've seen it in 20 hours of play was once. The whole team was Reapers. I was playing with Candy, Jare and a few others from OS.

What's the issue? I never thought she was OP.

She is incredibly OP, especially at higher MMRs. Her body shots do too much damage (a full-strength body shot kills Zenyatta in one hit), her ult is way too strong and there is no way to tell, if you're on the enemy team, when she ults or when it ends. Put her behind a Reinhardt and it's nearly impossible to reach her. Winning a game essentially comes down to which team has the better Widowmaker.

Keep in mind I do not play at a high MMR, these are just the complaints as I've seen them from others.

Re: Overwatch

Hit lvl 80. And except for one night it's been all against randoms. It's so bad I had a dream Tracer tried to kill me.

Currently playing Hanzo, Lucio and Genji the most along with D Va and Mei. What's funny is playing Hanzo has made me much deadlier with Widow Maker. I have about 10 Legendary skins now.

What's nice is after all these hours put in the game still is fresh because you can learn new heroes. Still addicted.

Exactly. I've never felt locked down by a Widow Maker. People just seem to get butt hurt when they get sniped. You rarely see her in POTG or on the vote screen, because snapping head shots on console at least is tricky with the speed most characters move at.

I love Widow but only play her in certain situations. I think I've had two play of the games. She's easy as hell to counter too.

Heroes I fear the most in the right hands?

Mei
Zenyatta
maybe Hanzo

And everyone else is also rans. Just run Reaper and the Widow Maker is toast.

I have experienced a few really good widowkers that had alot of skill and there is simply nothing that could be done. But on a game to game basis, she has not dominated matches at my level of play.

Re: Overwatch

Widowmaker is very good on PC. She's not as good of a hero on consoles since you cant be as precise with her aim.

The reverse is true of Torbjorn who is very good on consoles, but middle of the road on PC. The more precise Widows and Pharah's can take out his turret quickly, while on console the turret auto aim has the advantage over the players.

If anybody is OP, I'd like to put my hat in the ring to Reaper...I don't think I hate another hero more than this guy, especially his Ult. I cannot count how many times my entire team is aptly defending a point and Reaper transposes himself right in the middle and goes thru that exorcism routine.

Re: Overwatch

Any reccomendations for a first hero to try out? I've had this game for a few weeks but haven't really touched it outside of a random match here or there, and I'm pretty interested in getting rolling with this! I've only used Reinhardt thus far.

Sound is key to stopping Reaper. His teleport makes a very distinctive sound, and if he uses it to move into the middle of a group you can be pretty certain that Death Blossom is coming next.

He's very vulnerable both during the teleport and during DIE DIE DIE (assuming you're not getting shot by it)
