Also what other skins change voice lines?
Probably a few. Off the top of my head both of Mercy's legendary skins do.

Roadhog has become a regular part of my roster. I've almost been neglecting D.Va.

It feels like i'm stuck in MMR hell already. People don't even shoot their goddamn guns on my team. I ahd the worst game ever, did like 4k damage in total. Gold medal. Everyone else apparently decided that lefcklicking was off the table this game.

How's everyone doing on skins? I've unlocked two legendary skins in loot boxes so far. One for Windowmaker and one for Lucio. And on top of that I have 1760 credits. I'm still super indecisive about what to unlock.

Mako Roadhog is on the short list:

having played a ton last night, the game is as much a party game as it is competitive
It's so fun to have a coordinated 6 man team who's all chatting. Last night was the first time I got to really experience that

It's probably more of a party game than a competitive game. It's the Super Smash Brothers of first person shooters.

I've decided that Zen is not a healer. If I'm Roadhog and Zen is our solo support... I get the healing medal. He might as well be a DPS class that can incidentally heal. I bet Soldier 76 can do better team healing then Zenyatta. His damage output is fantastic and he's really easy to kill things with. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason people play him.

The most annoying support teammate is the Mercy who runs around with her pistol out though. What the hell are you doing?!

I hope people relax more in quick play after comp comes out.

his heals and damage reduce are awesome, plus that ult
He's a monster in the right hands

Curious to see what competitive will look like really. I don't know what to expect
A new rank/reward system?
Maybe there will be better loot drops in there? lol probably not

I only pistol with Mercy when I'm cornered and can't fly to a teammate basically.

His heals aren't awesome. That's the point. He's no Lucio or Mercy. But sure, his ult is great and he does a lot of damage.

If someone picks Zen, I'm probably going to have to switch to Lucio.

Competitive is a pretty standard ladder. You play two rounds on one map, one on offense and one on defense, with a possible tie-breaker round on a KOTH map if each team takes one round. You gain points for winning, and you lose points for losing once you exit the first bracket. You competitive rank is not tied to your level, and it will reset at the end of each "season". There will be seasonal rewards and stuff but they're not done figuring it all out yet.

There's a big news post about it on Battle.net from ages ago if you want to read about it:

Here's some data to back this up. Average heals per minute:

Lucio: 856.6 HP
Mercy: 730.8 HP
Zen: 463.9 HP

His heals are not "awesome". They're not even sufficient. He's a secondary healer.

Let me share with you, a harrowing tale of misery.

Everyone picks a DPS character, so i pick Winston to be able to capture and tank. Doesn't work. I ask someone on the team to swap cahracter to a support or tank to help us push. One guy swaps to Reaper. We now have 2 soldiers, 1 widow and 1 reaper. Me not counted. 2 minutes later reaper swaps to Wdow. We now have 2 widows and 2 soldiers. I figure getting a 75% XP cut for a few hours is less painful than this retarded monkey circus and quit.

Now if they only had harsher penalties for shitty quitters.

Especially the guys who get thrown into back-fill after some other scrub already quit. It doesn't count against your stats and you get an XP bonus. Just play the game. If you're getting steamrolled, you're talking about a five minute round. It can't be that painful.

Puh-leeze. You know what kind of egos gamers have. They're all pros. And they never play badly, it's all about the other guys who didn't play their supportive roles.

Sometimes you have a shitty team. You know which teammates are shitty? Quitters :P

It's not like this is an hour of DOTA2. But if Megido can't make it through five rough minutes of Overwatch, I'm sure he has trouble with longer, harder games too.

In fairness to Megido... there are a lot of legitimately shitty players and I'm just giving him a hard time. But I don't agree with his solution. And I don't know why some people find Overwatch so frustrating. I think the short rounds help, personally. If I'm getting bodied I'd rather get it over with.. but it doesn't last very long in Overwatch.

This is the beauty of fighters. 1v1. No excuses.

I never plug in a fighter, i've never abandoned a game in DotA, this game just makes me rage so hard for some reason. I have no problem losing to someone i feel is more skilled than me, but it makes me super salty when i lose even though i think i play ok (not amazing, but ok) and get shafted by my tream. But also i think i've drpped out of like maybe 4-5 games in total since release, so it's not like i'm some super quitter that just abandones every single game that doesn't go well. Blizzard seem to be on the offensive when it comes to bad behaviour.

When the team mates don't even bother looking at the chat and only pick favorite characters, not what the team needs and then proceed to feed themselves in to the meat grinder that is the other team...Not to mention, i even swapped Reinhardt to enable all of our dumb DPS guys to do their thing. I have them all behind me, put up the shield and lumper towards the capture point so that they can shoot the turret, kill bastion and what not. Everyone runs in front of me and dies anyway. It's unwinnable. I'm playing with vegetables. They probably didn't even notice that i left :P

And let me underscore, i don't think quitting is good either. The times i've done it is because i've been so frustrated that staying in the match would mean me smashing my mouse through the monitor. But if i have at least ONE player that responds in chat and tries to play the game right, i wouldn't dream of quitting. It's these clown matches that at times makes me rage quit :P

I think i also kind of try to rationalize it to myself by thinking that quitting has such low impact in a game like this. Not like DotA where that means your entire team will play at a massive for the rest of the game (some times as long as 30-40 minutes), and OW allows for new players to fill empty spots. In the competitive mode, you should get banned/timed out for quitting though.
