Ok, so a little highlight.
It was even more fun that I could have hoped. You guys were great, that last game was clutch, and we're only going to get better from here.
Here's to more games with ya. Revolution out

And lo, plays were made and fun was had.
For those of you who graciously accepted me onto your assorted friends lists, feel free to invite me any time you see me online. The game is definitely better with company, so I'll pretty much always up for a grouping.

It was nice to play with you, even for just that little hour I got before work. Glad our first game was a victory though, nice not to start on.Zhukov said:
Updating my tag since turns out there's numbers in it: LuckyPants#111243
Bought the game on launch in the end. Curse my weak will.
I am kinda :S about discord or w/e talky program you guys are using though. I dunno what I was expecting, guess just wanted to find bunch of randoms to play with, talk programs and chatting were not part of the initial pitch.
Currently trying to master Symmetra mostly because I feel she is the least played of the supports even though her tp ability is amazing.
Got fucking cheated on my first lootboxes, nothing but crappy emblems and logo and skin for characters I dont like.

Had a good time. Definitely more fun playing with friends. I have to dig my mic out of the closet so I can actually communicate, even if it's just to grunt and sigh.
there been alot of MOBA lately first Guardians of Middle-Earth, Smite, Battleborn now Overwatch next will be Paragon i wonder what after that
Overwatch isn't a MOBA, it's a character shooter. Think Team Fortress 2, that sort of thingYoichi said:

Do you know what Team Fortress 2 is? It's a team based character shooter, so is Overwatch. You play as characters with abilities and shoot things. MOBA have a focus on minions and lanes as well as leveling up your character etc, this has not lanes or minions. It's team based FPS play with objectives.Yoichi said:what you mean by character shooter?chozo_hybrid said:Overwatch isn't a MOBA, it's a character shooter.

And now, I shall do what ever person who plays a game with characters will do at some point in their lives: I will complain about my mains.
Lucio is my main right now. And I know people were saying he did too much damage pre-nerf. But he has only his gun for damage. By his very nature of his character, he needs to be with the group to push. So he does need damage. He's very squishy.
My suggestions are a.) buff his damage by 1/4 of what it is now. It's a very slow projectile, and if you have even a LITTLE bit of lag, you're going to be missing, so that needs to be taken to account
b.) add an effect to the projectiles. This will probably be the least favorite suggestion, but I'd even take another nerf to damage is the soundwave blaster did something like... blur the vision of someone who was hit by too many projectiles. It would actually make a little sense if someone was disoriented if they were bit by a sonic weapon.
c.) ...starts the alt fire suggestions. I was thinking something like a full clip sound blast would do more damage, but eat the rest of the clip. like 100 damage for a full clip. But it would be a focus limited range single person attack instead of an area affect blast. Anything short of a full clip does the regular blast back.
d.) remove or lessen the cool down of alt fire. If it takes ammo, the redundancy of the time limitation is needless. I get the fear that he'd become a out of bounds monster, but that's a very map and situational specific thing.
Now that I got my prerequisite whining about my character out of the way, I shall talk about other people (not our team, our team are rock stars).
For everyone who picks a tank and doesn't move up with a tank... stop playing the tank. Stop. You're hurting us. You have at least two members of the team who will just follow you. You're effectively halving the effectiveness of the team because us supports or Offensives are following you, awaiting for you to do your role.
... Great, I just got out of a game and now I want to play Overwatch again. Stupid video game heroin.
Actually kind of agree with this.ObsidianJones said:
Playing as Lucio mostly means running around in heal mode and hitting 'E' every now and again, popping your ult when the shit hits the fan (well, preferably when shit is about to hit the fan).
It would be nice for him to have something to do between those things besides spamming his rather unimpressive weapon
That would make him an out of bounds monster.
Yeah, it's map specific but on those specific maps he would be disgusting. He can already get easy kills on those maps.
I mean, a knockback with no cooldown? Hell no.
As someone who plays a lot of tanks, man, I wish I had two people following me.
The amount of times I've been Reinhardt, put up my shield in response to incoming fire then watched my team run through the shield to be gunned down... you don't even know.
Being a tank often consists of watching your squishies commit hilarious but frustrating acts of suicide all around you then having to hold the line 3v1. Then dying alone and screeching, "Where is everyone?!"
I've been having a great time, even managed some plays of the game today as well as victories alongside community members here I tried more characters this evening too, finally seem to get the hang of Zarya and Reaper a bit better too.
I don't have a video capture thing on my PC, but I do know how to do screenshots, so will share whenever I can

But here's the thing.Zhukov said:
It's accepted on certain maps that there will be a Bastion or a Turret because as the main access to the goal, there's a kill zone. So you have to go around. We accept that. So we should accept we never go anywhere that there's a ledge. Because if Lucio is there, he'll be knocking back everyone else.
And Bonus, it gives Lucio another role. A defender as well as a support.
And for the tank thing... Oh, Zhukov, you know we always have your back.
I'm not saying group your brothers into a team so we can fight them...chozo_hybrid said:

Ah, don't think that would go down too well. Me on a team ripping them to shreds on their own XDObsidianJones said:
haven't had the pleasure of playing with any of you yet, some friends IRL keep getting on at the same time so I'm generally grouping with them, or trying out other heroes in random matches where I hopefully won't fuck it up for people. Hopefully this weekend I can sneak in some games with escapist players.
New thoughts on my personal playing:
Gotten way better with soldier, I'm averaging 3 gold medals if not a bronze in healing with him per attack game, pretty proud of that.
Symmetra is sneaky, but a fun character to play as, it kinda sucks the teleporter is the ult, but it definitely works *GREAT* if your teammates are paying attention and use it a bunch. I single handedly turned the tide of a defense payload match, got a triple kill with my turrets by myself to stop the payload, and my teammates used the tele to respawn and push back for the win in the last minute.
Still don't like bastion, I feel like the maps benefit bastion to always have a positive K/D and can just "sit" by whatever objective is needed and act like they are contributing. I don't think bastion needs a huge nerf, just maybe make camping a slight challenge or hard to turn or something, idk.
D.va's ult is really weird, I've been in buildings and gotten annihilated by it, so I'm not sure what the fuck it's range/exact purpose is.
I don't like the "random" awards at the end as well, the game should be able to piece together the best, maybe add another slot if need be.

I'm thinking we should try for a Saturday afternoon game.
Do a custom Match, invite everyone on the list, general mayhem and all

Sounds like a good idea, could you give me an approximate time so I can make sure I'm on for that, would be good. I have Sundays off, so that should match up given I'm a day ahead. Although I think that means me getting up early, but would be worth it.ObsidianJones said:
