The other day, I was playing with my only friend who was online at the time. We were attacking on Hollywood and once two or three people locked in Roadhog, we decided to play him as well. Our team comp wound up being 5 Roadhogs and a Lucio.

We won. I'm still not sure how.

I dunno, I've seen some really good D.Va strategies that completely screw over Roadhog.

Self destructing if he hurls his chain at you is my personal favorite.

That requires your ult to be up though, if it is not he wins one on one.

Well, it depends. He and Mc Cree fuck each other up, it's a question of who shifts first. Depending on your definition of 1v1, Genji, Widowmaker and Tracer all also own him.

Breakfast never dies.

widowmaker: classic continental breakfast. lady grey tea.
pharah: cucumber slices, yogurt, some kind of flaky spinach pastry. strong cardamom tea.
soldier 76: an entire grapefruit, no sugar, no spoon.
winston: peanut butter crunch with banana slices.
lucio: bowl of own breakfast cereal. orange juice.
reaper: count chocula and donuts. dips the donuts in the leftover chocolaty cereal milk.
d.va: a single monster energy.
bastion: powered by solar energy so technically breakfast is all day.
genji: a crisp cucumber lime gatorade for the electrolytes while he's docked to his charging station.
junkrat: a 6-pack of five-hour energy, every 4 hours.
roadhog: a rasher of turkey bacon while he explains how much personality pigs have.
torbjörn: hard-boiled egg halves cemented to dry crackers with fermented fish paste. calls each one "my masterpiece!"
hanzo: a bowl of quality rice. if genji is watching, douses it in cheap soy sauce out of spite.
symmetra: tofurkey sausages in soylent glaze.
mccree: hash browns, over-easy eggs, black coffee. actually really good at breakfast, it's the one thing he has going for him.
mei-ling: better at breakfast than mccree.
mercy: ihop at 3 AM
tracer: ihop at 3 AM
reinhardt: ihop at 3 AM. keeps trying to order the grand slam despite that being a denny's menu item.
zarya: ihop at 3 AM. has somehow found the denny's rockstar menu and orders a hooburrito despite it being discontinued and, again, an ihop.
zenyatta: ihop at 3 AM. doesn't eat, just there to embrace nothingness.

I got a 16 kill streak with Genji

Shame it was in a play where nobody ever bothered to actually stay close to the payload except me lol

So I played with a friend today who invited a bunch of people to a group and oh man did I have a lot more fun then I expected to in group play. I also played Genji a bunch today and I have definitely got whole lot better. Infact I got my first Widowmaker reflect headshot and killed so many Bastions its not even funny (Okay, never mind it was pretty funny). And I generally made myself a massive nuisance to the teams we were playing against. We faced a few other really coordinated teams too and managed to make some pretty ridiculous comebacks.

For the most part today was a good day for Overwatch play.

That's usually how these games go. Most of the time depending on your luck, things are pretty shitty & you lose a lot but sometimes ya have a winning streak & do better than you thought possible.

At least that's how it is for me.

My chances of having a lot more fun and winning more went higher with a group of friends (some of those new guys became new friends which is nice) even though we were playing against ridiculously competent teams a lot of the time. I rather enjoyed those really close games that we managed to win.

Oh yeah and I managed to reflect a Bastion tank shot to kill a Mercy mid-ult. Good times and revenge for all those Bastion deaths.

Am I the only one who hesitates to buy skins and stuff due to thinking whatever you want to buy could end up showing up in the next crate? tongue

I know duplicates are apparently supposed to be converted into currency, but I'm not sure if it's the same value as the item.

I officially play with all support characters now. Finally got the hang of Zenyatta

Zenyatta is the support I STARTED with [lol]

He's so much fun. It's mercy who feels clunky to me. She's so ultra specialized, no real defense

I had a game just a bit ago where only one person got a card. It was the same person who got potg, at that. Kinda weird. :T

@Moon: Hey, nice! Genji is tricky to use — he definitely doesn't have the raw DPS or bulk to go in guns a-blazin', but he can kick some serious ass if you play him as the flanker he's supposed to be. I'm still trying to get a POTG with him to show off my new intro, but PUG team comps being what they are I'm usually stuck as the tank or support ;_;

the thing I love about genji is he's so accurate, nothing like landing triple headshot shurikens on the squishy that stopped moving from across the room :3

BTW, where can one read the official backstory for the game?

I confess, as fond as I am of playing Reaper, what I know second hand from our TV Tropes page is kinda uncomfortable. Like, "ruthless mercenary" is one thing, but "guy who destroyed Overwatch out of spite" is pretty much a straight up Moral Event Horizon. ^_^;

I'm liking Pharah a lot now. I never feel like I'm doing much damage with D.va's fusion cannons. and I can't get the hang of tanking properly.

She's still cute though.

[up]From my experience, despite her sheer size she works best if you can sneak around and flank the enemy at close range using her surprising amount of mobility. Oh, and to use her point defense to shield other players. It's very easy for me to forget this part since it's not nearly as obviously effective as Rhinehardt's shield.

Jumpjets are AMAZING for pushing people off the edge as well due to how much control they have.

[up]I do like that a lot.

Also, can I say I just love how alive the levels feel? So many small details and Easter eggs, and those fake Arcade games are fantastic. It's just a beautiful game in general.
