I might get this game- but after graduation, because I'll be busy up until then and dont want distractions.
Im not super into shooters but this game looks really well done and fun and i know some friends who have it too.

Skiive#1634, NA.
Just got this game, so I'm pretty bad.

Do people mind if I add them?

[Errantparabola]

I am... REALLY bad at this game

[Errantparabola]

that's a good drawing caled!

I haven't tried out all of the characters and I stick to playing against bots because I got rolled over when I tried playing against real people

McCree is pretty fun, I like emptying my gun into an enemy, doing the roll-reroll, and then doing it all over again.
Widowmaker is my favorite because chaining headshots is a really great feeling.
I want to get better with Zarya but I can never figure out when the best time is to give shields to someone else.
I also want to get better with Mercy. Heroes never die

THIS IS GOOD STUFF

Over/Under on the first full "expansion" to the game, and what it will contain?

I'm guessing it gets announced late this year with a 2018 release date. In order to charge ~$40 for it (which I'm assuming is what it'll be based on Blizzard's expansion model in other games), it would need to have a sizable amount of content.

My guess is that would need about 8 new heroes... maybe 3 maps? I dunno, it would have to be sizable, but Blizz is gonna have to do SOMETHING to fund future development.

i don't know how other blizzard games are run, so how would this work?
would people without the expansion be unable to play against people with the expansion? or would people without the expansion be unable to play in games with those maps/characters?
man, i just don't want to pay 40 more dollars to get all the game-relevant content, you know?

Hey what does everyone main? I'm thinking it may be good to have a game night and knowing what everyone plays would be good

this would be really fun. can we get a skype shindig together so we can schedule times to play as a group?

i usually play lucio. hog if we need a tank.
occasionally go junk, mei, zen, and soldier.

i don't really play that much though.

I'm actually okay with the ana changes, although I'll admit i don't play in PTR.
ana has been ridiculous for a while now. At least on PC. you could do waaaaay too much of everything.

I was playing a match where our mercy got mad and went attack torbjorn.
People got pissed but he refused to hear anything. Eventually we made some switches to accommodate for it (iirc our rein played mercy a lot and switched, and i went rein). The torbjorn ended up carrying us and winning, so lol. pretty good

I like using Zen and discording the pharmercy. When they took away his weapon spread his projectiles became almost as good as hitscan. I call out on the coms that I am discording the mercy. That often results her getting focused and then I do the same to pharah

Yup, this is pretty much what I do to the letter (majority of play this season for me was as zen)
I like trying to focus them as well and see if I can't get a crazy orb headshot but usually I let other people take care of them because it's hard focusing on the air and ground at the same time, I'm just a casual silver scrub

I watch exclusively South Korea's matches because it's morbidly entertaining to watch one team slaughtering the other.
Surprisingly (for multiple reasons) I'm not actually cheering for them. Not really invested in who ends up winning, and seeing an upset would be cool.

I'm watching the stream while studying, Marquis! Thanks for the link.
I just got to the part where the guy ripped off two shirts. that was nuts.

EDIT: That high pitched screaming at the end of Korea's first Hanamura push is how I feel right now.
Damn, Hanamura was a really good watch.

I think the main issue with the Pharah v. Pharah was that it seemed like at a lot of times Jake was 100% focusing the Pharmercy and not getting what he wanted, while Flower was focusing on attacking the ground a lot more.
