I really like Zenyatta up until i get hunted down and mercilessly defiled by Tracers. I can easily see him becoming a problem if he gets buffed in the wrong way though, but i'm not sure what the "right" way to go would be.

I played a bunch of Symettra too. I dunno how to use her on Offense but on Defense i won almost every match. Chick is awesome, i just wish her primary fire had a bit more range.

Did anyone else feel like Turret Dwarf was a bit ridiculous? His turrets immediately lock onto you from really far away and do respectable damage. Trying to push against a team with 2 or more of him was impossible for us because of it, plus his turrets automatically lock onto Symettra turrets and oneshot them before they can even start to do damage.


Dunno if i'll buy Overwatch when it comes out. I'll probably get it at some point when the price drops and/or more characters/maps are added in though.

Zenyatta is tough to play, but he's a great all-rounded support, he can keep allies alive and do damage from a distance, and make tanks drop like flies with his debuff. Great Ultimate, too. I get why he has 150 HP, but that's a big problem. When the support character gets one-shotted easily, that's a big problem, and it's not like he's exceptionally hard to kill. Mediocore offense (just good damage), slowest character in the game, no mobility... I'd like to see him get up to 200 HP, there's no real reason he should get OHKO'd by stuff.

Symmetra is a godly defender, but yeah, zero offense unless you can huddle in with allies. At least her charge shot mildly controls space, and goes through stuff like Reinhardt's shield. She does give her entire team +25 HP each, too... that's a bit meh considering other supports though. Her ultimate is where her offense shines though, those teleporters can change games if you place them well. Unfortunately, Symmetra feels largely useless the more your team is pushed back, and is especially worse if you're trying to take a point, where you won't be able to set up turrets (mostly because they have lol1HP and more often than not just get blown up accidentally by random spray or AoE), or really, shoot anyone. Again, her ultimate alone can decide that by having your team suddenly flanking the point with 20~ seconds of respawn time shaved off, but Symmetra needs to do damage to charge her ultimate, which she can't really do.

Turret Dwarf is alright. His presence is pretty big with those sniping turrets (and wow do they have HP). But that's his gimmick. Deal with the turret, and he can't do much for a bit. Tank heroes can generally just rush the turret and take it down for the team easily. I think Bastion is far scarier, since they do the same thing except even a tank dies in a second.

In general though, I kind of agree with Al. My biggest struggles in the game have been when the enemy team has a healer and stacks tanks. I feel there needs to be some balance here. It's almost impossible to take a point when you have two Reinhardts nullifying your entire team while being healed to immortality on the off-chance they do get exposed, or when they have that Bastion in the corner fully protected as they mow down your team across the map. Then they have a Roadhog too, way too tanky for being able to pull and OHKO half the roster, even has a self-heal so he's not going down if they have a healer. Not to mention, if they're well-teamed with a healer, you're just not going to get past them enough to take down the healer. Part of the reason I feel D.va is lackluster is that she dies faster than non-tanks in some cases, while all these other tanks are just unstoppable in some situations, and most tanks can still deal severe damage, yet D.va just has about the weakest weapon in the game and can't even move while using it.

But I mean, I haven't exactly played meta, but every single time I've gotten roflstomped, it was when the enemy had at least three tanks and a support. And when the entire team was Bastion, but that's a different story (Bastion isn't that good).

All my friends just keep talking about Overwatch, both on and off this site, and I didn't even play it.

Eh, it was that shiny new free top-quality MMO. I wouldn't have tried it if I knew it was going to be wiped and a fully priced game afterwards. Now I miss it, but I really can't justify shelling $40 for it in its current state.

Whoo! Overwatch dropped and it's still as awesome as the beta.

I'm playing this new game that just came out.

It's called Tic-tac-toe.

It's a pretty fun and simple game, but definitely not long enough. Only lasts three matches, and then it ends.

If I had to describe what the gameplay was like... it's kind of like a really small, simplified version of Reversi.

It's basically like hugging and kissing a hashtag.

Overall, not worth the 5 bucks I paid for it; 3/10.

Fates is better but Awakening is good.

I figure I'll finish this first before I get Fates. Assuming I'm not sick of it all by the time I finish it. xD

Enter the Gungeon. It's pretty fun but it has some really noticeable flaws and things i dislike about it. I'm still gonna sink loads of hours into it though cause the gameplay is legitimately good and it helps to pass the time quickly, so i'll be able to "skip" a lot of summer with it. My runs usually last 10-40 minutes but they feel like 10-15, it's great.

Started playing Umbrella Corps today, and despite how it looks and the backlash from the Resident Evil community, it's not a bad game.
