--- Quote from: Helepolis on May 24, 2016, 06:20:10 AM ---And I was wondering yesterday on IRC why nobody had created a Overwatch thread yet. I guess not many FPS players around at MotK. Well, not directly a lot.
Checked this morning whether the game boots. It does. Though configuration is quite limited or I haven't discovered yet where you can tweak things like mouse sensitivity. To be honest, I had limited time to discover. (Had to leave for work).
So tonight I'm going to check out a few classes. (No idea what I want to play either). Since you can change hero mid-game or something I read somewhere.

Changing your character in the middle of the game is not only possible but recommended.
Take Symmetra, who can spawn a teleporter that takes people directly from the spawn room to where people need to be most. In the "push objective to the other side" variants, the Attacker team has little use for Symmetra in the beginning because the objective is right there; conversely, the Defenders have to travel all the way across the map to fight against the objective.
However, at the end of the same game, when the objective is near opposite side, the Attacker will find Symmetra much more valuable. That's probably the most obvious case of character changing being important.

I was thinking of making one during open beta earlier this month, but the fact that nobody else did so made me decide to wait until launch and see. If I remember correctly TF2 had a lot of threads for a good while no?
Also support is so much fun in this game. Even off-supports like Zenyatta are fun even though I suck at him. It helps that I play with friends and one of them also loves support so we tend to base our picks around each other (such as I'll go Mercy or Lucio if he starts Symmetra on Defense, or I'll temporarily switch roles and he'll take over healing).
This is definitely a game that's more enjoyable with friends (or at least a friendly premade).
Dormio Ergo Sum:
I was playing some Overwatch shortly after launch yesterday. Mei-be that was a bad idea
Labuto:
Huh, so this is a thing. Anyways, Battletag is Labuto#4435. Junkrat's Concussion Mine is amazing.
AJS:
I was surprised nobody made a thread yet, but I didn't want to be the one to make it...
Anyway! Battle tag is Artiphex#1212. I'm looking to add more people because I've finally come to realize solo queuing sucks.
