Please be advised:
We will be closing this General thread in 24 hours. It will remain searchable.
After that we will require new threads to discuss topics.
Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread.
Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads. |

Also, do the stats achieved in Open Beta get reset when launched? Yes everything will reset at launch

Hey guys, two questions.
1. Is there any way I can preinstall the open beta if I don't have access yet?
2. Anybody running overwatch on a GTX 560? How are the frames. Usually Blizzard is good at making their games run on older rigs.
Since my computer can run sc2 just fine I have not upgraded it in forever.

I still didn't get the hook, shoot, melee combo with roadhog down yet. But I see players like Seagull do it in one shot everytime.
Sure. But the reason I don't get the MOBA-outplay feeling is that the effect of a "play" is not directly obvious. In a MOBA, it feels really rewarding to kill someone 1v1 or for a gank, because you clearly know how it rewards you and the team.
(Or at least that's why I think I don't get the feeling.)
Overwatch lacks long time motivation for people who wanna feel that mechanical improvement, kinda like HotS did as well.
The game does have a higher skillcap than HOTS though, and it also has gathered a ton more interest. I feel the situations are somewhat different as the core gameplay of HOTS was pretty fun for me, whereas the issue was mainly with the low skillcap of heroes. In OW, the core gameplay on the other hand just bores me.

here we have LoL, WoW, and Overwatch on Google Trends...
LOL is far far ahead of Overwatch on my Google trends. It's equal to Dota though.

true, this is a Google Trends graph for South Korea in South Korea Overwatch is far ahead of WoW and LoL.. as the posted chart indicates.
apparently Overwatch is even a top search term on porn sites in Korea.. that's how stupid popular it is right now.

I have a gtx570 card and I'm getting 60fps with V-sync on at 1980x1200 and medium settings. So a 560 should be fine at 1080p.

Fucking ruski industires map is impossible to cap B as attackers. I swear I haven't won on it even once in 15 hours. And haven't lost as defenders.

I think that the hate Bastion gets is well deserved. The thing will rip through 200 HP before you have a chance to save yourself in many cases. I understand that there are counters to him but I'm just running around and suddenly he's aiming in my general direction and I'm dead. All the talk about how it's fine because it's balanced doesn't do anything to convince me that this isn't irritating as fuck. I'm out there actually doing shit while you sit there. Fuck.

You can stack Bastions on defense in pubs and just murder the enemy attackers. It's kinda retarded given how bad so many people are. I feel like my team very rarely wins when attacking. Just a lot of people feeding themselves into the meatgrinder 1 by 1 rather than grouping for an organized attack.
|
it's a bad game but i guess blizz will put enough money in to it so people won't really care. (e.g. sc2wol, hearthstone, diablo3)

Bastion deals insane amounts of damage at range with that minigun. Very unforgiving and if supported by Reinhardt or a healer he is hard to kill quickly.
Some heroes are good against him, such as snipers, soldier's alt-fire and I've been having success hooking him as well.
Two heroes I tried and didn't get along with were McCree and Zarya. Both rely immensely on never missing and Zarya's damage output is minimal if you can't keep the beam on the target constantly. She outright loses to heroes such as Roadhog who can just eat her low damage and murder her outright before her damage buff from her shield becomes significant.
Also, it is me or is McCree's ultimate nearly useless? It gets telegraphed to the entire enemy team as well a big glow on his head and it can still miss anyway if they find any cover. It also has a massive wind-up time.
The dragon ult from the archer is also frustrating since it goes through all walls and deals damage very quickly. If you get caught in the middle through a wall it's pretty much instant death.

Anyone want to run a 4 Bastion 2 Reinhardt comp and just stomp everyone?
But for Bastion counters, Widowmaker, Pharah, and a Tracer with ult can shut me down pretty hard. And any team smart enough to not run together in a straight line for that matter. Yeah in pubs there are a lot of impatient dumb people rushing in rather than wait for a healer and/or tank to go in with them, which just feeds the Bastion. Once matchmaking gets worked out and the Bastion mains face competent players it won't work as well.

I love it when enemies pick Bastion. >.>
I just switch to genji and toss some shurikens -> reflect and they melt. If they're smart enough to not kill themselves, they still have to waste time staring at me and then it's back off cooldown in 10 seconds.

here is that porn site thing i was referencing
|
yeah, Dva, Tracer and Widowmaker models in SFM are pretty popular
|
alright guys where or what is the sniper/AWP equivalent in overwatch
|
I'm pretty surprised. A Blizzard game that actually runs decently. The game runs pretty smooth.
Do we keep the loot after the beta ? I got Ra skin for the monk...
