It's also refreshing to see the bad guys win, even though the hero did everything in her power to prevent that from happening. Heroes may never die, however they can't always win either. (Which is also why Empire is the best Star Wars movie imo)  | ||

The line spoken in french makes me think the voice actress is actually French tho; Very natural accent on that one. | ||

Interesting video about their Netcode. Wonder how much the upcomming changes will affect cross region play, which works like a charm currently. Especially in Comp, because I doubt they'll stay on standard. Also nice we can test things that the pc version could do, what the consoles won't be able to do. Hope my Internet can handle those changes ;_; . Youtube comments about the Netcode video were funny to read too. | ||

you would never hear a French girl talk quite like that in English Any french female with a thick accent automatically increases her sex appeal by 100%. edit: Same goes for british women (and I'm not writing this, because I was forced to  ) | ||

It's hard for me to criticize dynamic queue when Riot, Blizzard, AND Valve have come to the conclusion that solo queue isn't worth doing, despite them having THE LARGEST gaming pool on the planet. Doesnt hots seperate 1/2 man queue from team queue after trying to make it full dynamic? Anyway the speed with which Blizzard updates Overwatch is pretty impressive. And although I usually dont care about cosmetic stuff it all seems really high quality. | ||

We had like 2-3 big UI updates since beta began... it feels like a lot because it takes them forever to redo UI in their other games. | ||

CSGO also has dynamic queue and I believe people there dont like it either. Maybe people will be more receptive towards it when the game launches with dynamic queue and its not later introduced. At least we will get voice chat in OW (unlike LOL). It's in the proces of being alpha-tested. | ||

I wonder if its solo queue itself or that 2/3/4 man doesn't work on its own yet big enough to not discard entirely. | ||

What's in alpha test right now is Battle.net desktop client voice chat (persistent across games) which is also cool, but a different project =) | ||

Actually it would be a reason for me to not play the game if I am forced to listen to certain types of people. As long as you can opt out of listening I am ok with it. | ||

I dont mind dynamic queues. I already run into a lot of tryhard groups and I just try to make the most of it or just play obnoxious heroes like Mei, Genji or Tracer just to fuck around. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/JUbUzo8.jpg) Bastion is a bit too strong; in the sense that he can shift in/out of forms too quickly and reloading is incredibly swift. Also helps that these work as you are jumping; allowing for a lot quick shifts or heals just as you get into or out of position. Terrible ultimate though, it's strong; but I can barely see anything because his body takes half the screen and his meter is not immediately noticeable. | ||
