i am still playing x_x
she looks fun although a mei ult followed by a sombra ult = time to shut off the computer. chain cc is pretty miserable to play against.
this may be the one offensive player i will use b/c she seems less aim based.

Did end up getting it on PC. Played a ton this weekend.
Hardly an original thought, but it's a version of Team Fortress 3 that Valve never got around to. Hard for me not to compare it to TF2, which had this beautiful game and visual design to start with and devolved into a garish mess... Overwatch from the beginning seems designed for infinite expansion and a general lack of style/universe cohesion. Kept the sunny atmosphere of TF2 and dropped the blood and guts legacy from Quake. There have been tons of class-based team shooters, but none since TF2 have done such a great job on the appealing universe, character and visual designs.
Gameplay-wise it's like they took chunks of the various TF2 classes and split them even further, like instead of an Engineer who can build turrets, sentries and teleporters, you have individual classes that can do one of each (Anticipating an upcoming class that will do resupplies). TF2 was originally a streamlining of the original Team Fortress before it went all crazy with the secondary abilities and weapons and skins and hats and so on; Overwatch makes each character even simpler, most can't even sprint and half only have a single weapon w/alt fire. Definitely feels easier to learn a character in comparison.
Anyway, it's fun and I'll definitely be burning enough time into it to make me considering grinding out that stupid Heroes of the Storm quest to get a Genji skin, and I've never even played that game.
Still a while before I hit L25 to play ranked games but friend me if you want to: nhex #1 9 3 8

when i went to LA the friend of a friend who i was staying with was obsessed with this, along with all his roommates and friends. we played a bunch of it and he tried to explain why it was so complex and strategic but i didn't really get it, kinda seemed like an unremarkable multi-player shooter

Got sucked into the Heroes of the Storm quest for the OW extras this time around; the game's actually pretty fun, despite how much I suck at MOBAs/RTS
