People sure like to ship tracer/widowmaker with zero regard for widowmaker's backstory.

[up] I'm more talking about her being a emotionless killer and the fact that she killed her husband being brushed off to the side.

Widow probably hates any form of emotional contact or intimacy.

I don't know about others, but the whole Defrosting Ice Queen aspect is precisely why I ship them.

[up] Yea, that's what I'm getting from a lot of the fanart and stuff. Still even with the Defrosting Ice Queen angle, it doesn't feel right to me considering Widowmaker had a past life and a relationship, neither of which ended her own terms.

That being said, kinda hard to against sexy girl on girl art sooo whatevertongue.

So who here thinks fighting that giant monster located near Korea that rises from the sea every few years that D.Va fends off would make for great spin-off material like a game or comic?

They are making comics as well as animated shorts, so we'll see.

Now Overwatch has gone full anime [lol]

Square Enix publishes the game for Japan. Wouldn't be surprised of they'll get Final Fantasy inspired costume. Or perhaps Deus Ex Mankind Divided crossover items?

... Crossover fics. Anytime now lol

Barely been able to play during this stress test weekend, but I'm loving it. A pity though, I am complete and utter garbage at Tracer, taking at least three deaths to every AI kill during an easy bot practice. Desperately need a new mouse, one that I can hold the buttons down for Mercy.

I got in. It was fun. I decided to not play anyone who required good aim, and that worked out pretty well (mostly Mei, Bastion, and D.Va; Reaper if the team desperately needed more offense). Turtling seemed like an incredibly powerful strategy, but mostly because most people didn't seem to know what to do about it. Ice Walls are super awesome.

Hanzo's kind of funny because if you shoot randomly eventually people are going to run into your arrows, and while I sometimes won like that I feel like I might have been burdening my team.

[up][up][up][up][up][up][up]That's pretty much the reason why Widowmaker get's shipped besides the Defrosting Ice Queen angle (albeit I don't see it either as what happened to Widowmaker has likely screwed her up pretty bad). I would not be surprised if Tracer is bi though.

Not surprised by Xenyata (although I wonder how that works) but Bastion being gay as well? Never even considered him....

Does anyone know if this game is playable offline?

Also, can we stop with the shipping already? We already know they're gonna ship the two girls/guys and flood Deviantart with pics.

Widowmaker isn't bi or anything. She had a husband.

Pretty sure it is online only.

Also it was announced today that future maps and characters will be free for those who bought the game. They are probably doubling down on skins to support the game past launch or xpacs.

[up][up][up] I fail to see how a woman stops being bi just because she is married to a man.

That aside, do we have any release date info?

How is being bi and having a husband mutually exclusive?

Maybe because she was never stated to be bi in the first place?

Not that it doesn't happen, but it's highly unlikely for this character. Let's just drop it and not overthink things.

I want to know why the hell this game can't be played with Bots/Local. COD does it just fine.

Her having a husband is no argument against her being bi.

Her being brainwashed to kill her husband and become a terrorist assassin is a far better reason. if she's willing to do that, I suspect she's not terribly interested in romance or relationships.

Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.

Yeah please lets drop the Widow shipping. Her origin is rather tragic on the topic of romance.

Also did anyone play Genji? If so how was he?

He has the highest skill cap out of all the characters but if you are good with him you can pretty much be flat out OP.

If you are not good with him you are useless.

He is much harder than Tracer.

[up]Sounds like he'll probably be my main then alongside Tracer, Reaper, Hanzo, Lucio, and Windowmaker (I can actually snipe).

I'll play the other heroes but not as much....

#325: Dec 7th 2015 at 5:23:29 PM

Maining anyone is not a good idea in the game. Every character has a counter or have some advantage over another, you play X then someone will switch to Y and steamroll X (assuming you are at the same skill level) when they switch to Y you wanna switch to counter them.

A good match will have someone play 6+ characters in various roles.

It's actually a lot of fun.
