The title explains itself, general discussion about Overwatch. What're you hyped for, what hero are you gonna play first?

It's more like TF2, crossed with MOBA games (in the sense of skills, and ultimates), all looking like a high quality pixar movie.

It looks kinda interesting I'll give it that. One thing I'll give Blizzard credit for: they can even make a TF2 clone-like micro-game look at least colorful enough to be fun. I might give it a spin, it's rare that an entire roster of characters looks appealing to me. Reinhardt, Widowmaker, Bastion, Reaper, and Pharah look badass; Tracer, 76, Zarya, Genji, and Winston look fun too.
I just legitimately can't decide... and I like that feeling, of choice.

That's what they did. They replaced the old, boring one (left) with a pinup-inspired pose (right), complete with booty.
In other news, I'm not hyped, but I'm certainly looking forward to playing Overwatch.
Mostly played Hanzo, Reinhardt when tank was needed and Lucio when heal was needed. I also played Widowmaker but there I had really bad and really great games.. don't know if it will be one of 'my champs'.
I'm a masochistic MOBA scrub, so Battleborn and Paladins will be more my speed. If I get enough time and money to actually get into both of them and OW, then Zarya, Torbjorn, Mercy, Roadhog and Mei will be my mains. Cause who needs the stress of being a sniper or an assault.
Yeah, I just got it too and I'm really enjoying it so far. Everybody and their grandmother plays Reaper and I'm just sittin here playing Mercy like a team player.
I'm glad the open beta is out free for the moment, the games actually not bad, Not that impressive gameplay-wise, but enjoyable. Bastion, Widowmaker, D. va, and Pharah are my legit favorite characters to play; Reaper and Mcree are annoying as hell to fight against, but maybe that just because the players using them are good, I guess.
I gotta say though, beta aside, I don't think I'll play this game for long. MOBA games usually lurk on my shit list but far more eclipsed by MP only and DLC fueled games.

Nah only people with no skill use Mcree, all people do is flashbang you so you can't fight back then button mash the right trigger to kill you. That and his super is auto aim as in more no skill bulllshit. He's gonna get hit with the nerfbat hard.
They should probably take it to a few other characters too, sometimes I feel Hanzo can get way too many head-shots in a row way too quickly. But I don't play as him so I don't know what his skills are like.
Those characters can be a bag of dicks to handle, I swear I die more from map falls,than anything else, as well as not being able to make a single kill in a whole match, but fuck is Tracer fun to play as.
Most people playing Hanzo just try to take potshots and hope they get a headshot. It's really just dumb luck they get any sort of kills going.
Symmetra in a way. You can spawn little auto-shoot bots and stick them nearly anywhere on the map. If you position them above doors so people get sapped when they enter it is a bit like stepping on shrooms. But she is a supporter, gives shields and spawns a portal to get faster to lane.
