I've been purposefully getting off S76's nuts simply because I found when I was moving to different roles I noticed how much worse I was at influencing my team's victory. But since this is super, super early beta I feel it is a disservice to pin yourself against the wall with one hero (I am starting to find I'm far and away the best at Offensive heroes, though) because if an actual ranking DOES come out and you can only play one hero it will be the height of frustration when you simply can't make that hero work in an individual game. I also feel it really only takes maybe 3 games to get a strong grasp on a hero. Probably it takes far more to feel "mastery" but now that I grinded out some Reaper games (and the first few were rough, trust me) I feel I can swap between Reaper, S76 and Tracer with not a whole lot of skill drop off. Next on the list is Pharah probablly.

Then again there have been DOTA2 pros with a hero pool of literally 3

Well you gotta remember as well that most people don't care. I know in my group of friends, I am not the switching guy. The other 2 or 3 will switch but I almost never switch and on the off chance I do it won't be to a support or what others probably consider a better pick. I only play the dps characters and overwatch is so face paced and so little time investment I really don't care if I win or lose as long as I have fun playing my character.

I don't switch much in games, unless it's beneficial to me. Now I mostly pick supports/tanks depending on what the team needs, but once I start a game on Mercy or whatever, I play the whole game on Mercy. Exception is Zenyatta, if there's like a widow, 2tracers and a genji on the other team, I don't bother and swap to another support instead, generally Lucio. I mean it'll take a few deaths but once I see I can't do shit I swap, sometimes though they're retarded and don't target me with the highest priority so I just give them the balls, all the balls.

It's so easy to support on Lucio too. I'm 9-0 on him. That's gross. Heh, 11-5 on Pharah. I'm 29-17 overall. Feels bad. 4-0 on Hanzo too. I guess I really suck dick on a lot of heroes compared to others

This game just annoys me. Even the dumb shit that shouldn't feels like a slap in the face. I had this amazing kill spree on the dumb Pharoah map or whatever, defended B point almost alone and killed their entire team with McCree, acrobatics used the abilities wisely just kicked ass. Play of the game is Bastion walking forward with the cannon shooting and he kills 3 people over 20 seconds who walk in front of him shooting. Le sigh.

Can you even do anything with currency right now? shop is greyed out. I just got a legendary 500 coins from a box lol.

edit: NVM, i figured out you can by the skins when you browse the characters.

Yeah you can buy shit that's already there with credits only, I think the 'shop' is actually just the option to buy credits via RTM. (kinda hope you can 'sell' shit you don't care for.. like i have 3 mercy skins already, fuck that)


If you boys wanna play over the weekend add me up, pretty sure I only have tenks atm: Alone#1281

They did say you will be able to sell anything you have if you don't want it.

Probably same prices you get for duplicates though, which is like scraps. But it does let you convert a lot of useless shit into one decent thing.

Oh yea, you can bet it will be a shit conversion just like all of their games. Saw a neat little video on Reddit, you can use your rockets to jump boost on S76 (he showed some great defense places on Hanamura? I think it was, usually the places I go as Hanzo) probably not news to those of you that play these types of games a lot but I thought it was awesome. Still working on perfecting it, seems you rocket just after you've jumped for best effect.

If a Torb is in the game 90% chance your POTG will be "Molten Core" followed by him whacking his turret with a hammer to kill 4 people

Well after 100 games since the beta came back up, I'm definitely feeling the torb/bastion fatigue. They aren't fun to play against, nor are they fun to play as but they are so good you can't afford not to have them on defense.

Hope they do something soon because I love the game otherwise.

Make the turret more powerful, but also more fragile. IMO TF2 turrets are perfectly balanced. They are very strong but if they take focus a engineer can't keep it healed. In OW it seems like the only way my turret dies is if I get killed.

How can you make something with an automated turret fun without a MAJOR rework?

Make it easier to counter. Right now it seems like a L2 can take pretty much an entire clip of Pharah to kill. If they really want the turret to be beefy and do good damage they should look into possibly making it so it doesn't lock into you the instant you enter it's zone. But honestly Torb feels like 1.5 heroes. The actual Dwarf can do good damage now and his turret does good damage too. I have less of a problem with Bastion (still have a problem -- he needs his HP nerfed as well) because at least it takes a human to find you and kill you. You can't just easily flank a turret because it'll just lock onto you.
