Going by your list, it's looking like it's going to be a team full of Mercys!

Other than design, what about the gameplay of your heroes draws you to them?
I think for me it's feeling like a have a consistently impactful role. Junkrat and Roadhog stall attackers severely the former by raining grenades and the latter by abruptly assassinating important squishies, D.Va and Pharah have great disruption ability especially with their ults, and the healing from Mercy/Lucio is invaluable for keeping your whole team active and on the front line. Some other heroes I just don't feel as helpful, either due to their kit or my own failure to gel with said kit.

I'm willing to play any role but prefer: Mercy, Pharah, Tracer, Mei, Torbjorn, and Widowmaker.

I have Guppy on Steam so if this does end up happening I can rope him in.

As soon as I can stop my real name coming up every time someone adds my battlenet, I'm in. I don't know why it does that or how I can stop it, so I'll update this when I've figured it out. I'm in the UK and main Mercy and Pharah, but that could change when I play more, so I guess I'm flexible.
depending on how old your battle.net account is, I think it was auto-turned on, I just turned it off on mine. How, you might ask?

when you have your friends list open from the battle.net program, there is a little gear in the upper right corner, if you click on that a small list will drop down from it, and one of the possibilities is "privacy settings"

now this will open a web browser to the setting I'm referring to, uncheckmark the "Real ID" box and wallah, no more real name being shown/given to peeps who don't know you IRL.

I've got exams until the end of June so won't be able to play properly until then, but if the group's still looking for members by then I'll be in.
I'm in the UK, username's Harlemura #2871, and I mostly play Mei and Zarya. I'm also passable as Reinhardt and D.Va. I really like playing as tanks, if you couldn't guess.

I'm intending to learn more characters so I can be a bit more versatile; I'd like to be good as Tracer and Genji, and I want to learn Lucio, Symmetra and Widowmaker for if the team needs them. I was pretty garbage as anyone with 200 or less health during my time in the beta though, so probably best to not mark me down as these guys.

Although my preferred characters are likely to change as , the ones I spent the most time with in the beta were Junkrat, Mei, Roadhog
with bits of Reaper, Pharah, and Mcree sprinkled in. But again I'm pretty open going to end up playing a bit of everyone.

If I already quoted you for an alert, I've changed something in the index (Proper battle.net name, what singular character you consider your name among your regular set, etc)

The rest of you are just added.

This is a thing now. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Overwatch-League

Hey, it's an aside, but if anyone wants to tell me why my profile doesn't want me to have an avatar at all and gives me tips on how to change that, it would be greatly appreicated. I made sure my animated gif was under 115 x 115 pixels, and I even shrunk the static picture. The forums just does not want me to have a face.

Ok, so that escapist server down thing was... weird.

I'm going to ask those who haven't got their proper battle.net names in to do so soon. Let's start adding each other.

If you don't know how to find your proper battle.net name, open up the client. In the upper right, you'll see your Chosen Name. If you click on it, the first thing you'll see in the drop down box is your name with a pound sign (#) with four numbers. That is your proper battle.net name.

For example, Mine is Revolution#1921.

You both are updated, and Guppy, you were actually suggested to me by Blizzard. Super weird and stuff.
Likely because I already added people if they were already on my Escapist friends list =D

Only Phasmal hasn't gotten back to me. She hates me. :'(

That possibly might be it. You guys are literally the first people I've added on Blizzard, so I have no idea how it works.

Is it the Americas? Does Phasmal hate the Americas? Facts are pointing to that very idea!

...

I just realized something.

Do we even care about Battleborn? I mean, I have it. I put two hours in it and went "Hmm. Pleasant". Then played the open Beta of Overwatch and it was like having my first kiss again... Only good. And I didn't turn Overwatch into a Lesbian.

Anyone else have that?

Oh shit, is she a Euro? Well then. Filthy Euros! I guess we WON'T be friends!

I kid. I kid the Phasmal.

I can only speak for me, but...no. I only have so much time, and can only care about a few games. Not on my radar.
