Overwatch General Thread

Overwatch tweaks incoming!

TL;DR:

- Incoming McCree nerf will hit "Fan the Hammer" and not effect flash grenade
- Incoming D.Va buff will not be a straight damage buff. Goal is to make her a better tank, not better at killing.
- Reaper teleportation effect will be blue for friendly Reapers, so you know if the Reaper teleporting in next to you is friendly or needs to be shot down.
- Eventually going to be able to save and share Highlights.
- "Play of the Game" feature going to be undergoing tweaks and improvements because computers can't calculate coolness and need help learning what's worth featuring.
 
Glad D.Va is getting buffed. I like using her now, but it's great they're going to make her even more fun to use.

I didn't really think D.Va needed buffing, but I guess that just means I'm gonna wreck even harder with her :3

I hope that the tweaks to PotG mean there'll be no more Torbjorn PotG's where he walks around a little and drops an armor pack...
 
I'm really curious as to which characters in this game fit into the villain category. I know Reaper does for sure, but I would also think characters such as Hanzo, Widowmaker, Junkrat, and Roadhog would fit into the villain category.
 
They really need to make Play of the Game better. Hopefully we'll see lesser Bastions from now on.

I'd rather see Bastions than Torbjorn turrets honestly.
But yeah they're gonna teach those computers what being cool is :cool:
 
Can you get achievements like Special Delivery over multiple rounds? It seems that I've sicked 4 people, but didn't get the achievement.

From the website:

Reaper is systematically hunting Overwatch members...But it was obvious he's a villain anyway.

Widowmaker's affiliation is 'Talon' which is a terrorist group Overwatch fights, so she's a definate villain.

Junkrat and Roadhog are essentially villains. Roadhog was part of the reason Australia became 'Mad Max' and Junkrat just became crazy due to the radiation.

Genji and Hanzo just seem like rivals. Genji was in Overwatch and Hanzo left his criminal clan to 'restore his honor' after he 'killed' Genji.

Mcree was a villain turned hero.

Everybody else is pretty much a hero character.



So the only real villain characters are Reaper, Widowmaker, Junkrat and Roadhog.

Even then Roadhog and Junkrat are trying to turn a new leaf.
 
Argh I really want to play this but I have to wait until pay day :( My boyfriend has been playing since launch (he played the beta too) and watching him play makes me want it so bad! Except I am really bad with fps so I worry no one will want to play with me. I'll probably end up playing support or anything away from direct line of fire :p
 
I see roadhog as chaotic neutral personally.
Also I fiiiinally got potg with junkrat. I have to remember that the explosion of the tire is a LOT bigger than I feel it is. Also got a hilariously humiliating one with roadhog...

I hate how that roadhog game will get me potg, but not when I hook 3 people in a row and headshot them all. Feelsbadman.
Hopefully with the update we'll see more of that and less of bastion sitting behind a reinhart shield shooting blindly and getting 4 kills.

I was just going from the bio's, they didn't mention that.

I kind of assumed that them being villains sounded more like the result of living in a 'Mad Max' style Australia than being genuinely villainous though, so I only really mentioned them as being villains since Junkrat's bio specifically says he's/they've "embarked upon an international crime spree" at the end. Up until that sentence, Junkrat's bio sounded kinda neutral/a product of his environment.

Just practice whoever you want. I suck with Tracer because I have maybe 10 minutes play time on her. The first game I played as widowmaker, I couldn't hit anything scoped.

Yeah, after their international crime spree they were hired to do a professional rescue mission, and from that point they've been looking for legitimate work.

They still kept their treasure though
