I was waiting for this (and this thread post of course :p)

I played a lot of TFC for fun and played DotA competitively but I don't know what to think of mixing them yet though. I may have to try this someday just to see.

edit - ZeromuS is right xkcd ^_^

I'm still holding gripes against the 7 months of "Onlywatch".
Probably works wonder for marketing but damn i hate when BLizzard does that.

I kind feel like it killed hype in a lot of ways. When they first gave it out to streamers everyone was like holy shit, this looks completely ready for primetime, but then they killed the huge hype by delaying for 7 months. I feel like they could have done better by either releasing faster or delaying the launch of OnlyWatch. Oh well, either way I'm having fun.

I've been playing it and feeling distinctly "eh." Not sure how much staying power it's going to have for me.

nice article. cant wait to see the guides to come out for this game on this forum. what ive noticed from playing it is that it requires far more teamwork based on the roles and abilities of the different characters than just being really good mechanically. i think there can be some very OP compositions too
terrible, terrible, damage

I tried BETA yesterday and played ~10 games.

As I suspected I will not buy it, in fact I already uninstalled the BETA.

It is probably an awesome game. Fast, dynamic, colorful, full of content. It's just not for me. There is so much I don't like. I'm long time Battlefield series games player and when I play FPS game, I want my character to actually have fire power, be lethal. Unfortunately, in Overwatch most characters are barely "tickling" enemies. Their strength lies in all sorts of abilities. And I like to shoot, not jump, teleport, etc. Oh and running. Most characters are slow, too slow. And I don't care what great skills they have. They are too slow, period.

Also games are insanely short o.O Maybe one out of my ~10 games lasted more than 5 minutes.

Finally, the graphics/requirements. No matter how I set the graphics settings my GPU temp reaches ~85C (780Ti). What a hell? I understand that it might be a price of playing in 120fps, but in BF4 I also play with 120fps and only have ~65C. I even tried lowest possible settings, no changes in temperature on GPU. I would like to believe that it is a fault of the game being in the BETA, but somehow I am sure that absolutely nothing is going to change. However, I must admit that the game is smooth, very smooth.

Summing up: Not a game for me. I am waiting for BF5. In a meantime, SC2 and BF4 will do

There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

I'm completely new to this team based FPS thing too. I've been playing for a few days and some matches are complete 5 minute stomps but I'm getting a few more good ones the more I play too.

I did find it very weird at first having heroes with no real requirement to aim, but the majority of them do have ways to demonstrate your skill (or lack of). There are a few exceptions like Symmetra feels horrible to play the weapon seems terrible and the skills don't appear to take that much thought. and while Mercy is kind of fun there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of depth there either. Guys like Reinhardt or Lucio can be quite satisfying however.

If you aren't enjoying a hero like Tracer though there's probably no hope for you and Overwatch!

Thanks for the great rundown! There were several things about the maps I was unaware of and I tried out some of the heroes suggested. I started having A LOT more fun after reading this and putting time in practicing. It's a really fun game once you get the hang of it. I've never cared for FPS but I can tell Overwatch is right up my alley. Can't wait for the official release!

Hopefully during initial year of public play a lot of commercial interest is poured into the scene.

Noverwatch is the hardest Overwatch. Luckily I have some Vods left from nice Overwatch streams. Just have to ration them.
