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. | ||

I have literally zero data to back that up beyond that they are a US company that releases most of their games in the US first. So MAYBE????? Or they just picked the US because they hate other regions and want them all to suffer because they are all horrible zealots and love America and America only. The world may never know. There can be more reasons than just sales to release it in the US first. With a quick search all I can find about it is revenue by region for the whole of Activision Blizzard. It has North America at $2190 million and Europe at $1824 million. Quite a difference but still big enough that I'd think they would release it at the same time across regions if that were the only factor. http://investor.activision.com/annual-reports.cfm It's on page 14 | ||

I would assume the same will be true for Overwatch so that is one reason why US comes before EU. Also translation can play a factor in the rest of the world being behind the US. | ||

But when I look at PC-games games like Starcraft, Counterstrike and MOBA*s, it seems that there are alot more European than NA players. | ||

Maybe the map design or character abilities allow you to navigate through worst stalemates and defensive fortifications somehow, but so far I'm not sure how things are going to play out. | ||

Map design seems to have multiple height levels, 1 or 2 hallways around the main hallway and 1 or 2 reachable by jump mechanic pathways. And then there is still airways for the flying rocket slinger and the healer who can melt any group of people staying around. | ||

The next time they will have ults to beat you up even harder. Map design seems to have multiple height levels, 1 or 2 hallways around the main hallway and 1 or 2 reachable by jump mechanic pathways.

nope you get ults by doing damage. Not by being slaughtered. | ||
