As long as you don't play Mei there is! I'll probably be mostly Widowmaker since I love my sniping. But we'll see. You might wanna also consider Hanzo as well.

Back-to-back Play of the Game? I'll gladly accept that! Finally clicking with Soldeir 76 in the way I hoped I could, nice to have a well-rounded hero in my arsenal I can throw in any level.

All my free time.... it goes and goes away.
Though, I do admit, I believe I am terrible at Overwatch, I love the hell out of this game.

Just bought this game yesterday and I can't stop playing. Maining D.Va mostly, with Tracer/Mei/and Mercy coming up from behind. Such a unique fps, so refreshing.

I received the "Game Over" trophy. The moment earned PoTG, and it was vital in advancing the payload to its destination. I haven't had an issue, but perhaps that's due to low level play. What exactly do you find difficult about the mode? Getting the Payload to move on attack. I managed to win one Defend with Reinhardt by mostly just sitting on the payload and activating my shield for several minutes. Attack is where I'm faltering however since the damn thing blocks off my view and seems to favour the defenders in how it moves at times. Warning: The words of a novice. Hopefully a better player will offer advice later. I haven't experienced much difficulty in moving the payload along (staying alive, however, is a different story). I typically select tanks (D.va is my primary, but if the opposition is decimating the team, I switch to Reinhardt, because it aids in inching the payload closer to the checkpoint/destination*), I remain in close proximity to the vehicle (not always behind), and I try to stay alert (i.e., I review the areas behind, above, and to the left/right of my position), because I know a Tracer/Reaper is bound to flank. If you're a "squishy" character, or simply had to switch to one, stay alert and don't be afraid to sneak alongside the vehicle (if the players aren't high level, you may last a decent amount of time). Additional: pick off who you can, but try not to allow them to drag you away, especially when no one else is moving the load. *Don't be surprised if your teammates leave you open to flank. All my free time.... it goes and goes away. Though, I do admit, I believe I am terrible at Overwatch, I love the hell out of this game. I'm terrible, as well. However, I'm pretty good at being a pain in the ass, which can help the team. EDIT: Did anyone see the video regarding the game's hitboxes?

LOVING this week's Weekly Brawl. Also, a great way to get pretty consequence free practice with a variety of characters if you're still looking for a main.

I've been having a blast with it as well, especially since it gives me a chance to get better with heroes that I don't usually play as. Also, I had an insane Tjorborn run right now that went like 19-0 across two rounds via. the rando.

Lucio's a real good pick for the Payloads, because of the passive group heal. Everyone is clustered around a small area to get the thing moving so it's a great boon.
Also, Reinhardt's shield is tremendous for cover around it and is also great if you have a McCree ready to High Noon from behind it at the defenders.
I've seen Bastion players sitting on the payload itself in turret mode as well, which can either be incredibly evil or easy to stop depending on the player.

I am totally gonna buy this sucker once next paycheck comes.
And then the PSPlus one-year subscription.
That being said, I'm looking for good characters to use (other than Tracer, since I'm pretty much guaranteed to use her and not just because she looks like Skye). Recs?

Soldier 76 is the easiest to play for a newcomer IMO, especially someone who is used to playing FPS' but thrown off by some of the more unusual character playstyles you don't tend to see in FPS's. He's all-around a really solid character and very easy to get the hang of.
It's probably why he's the tutorial character.

Pharah is good, too. She blows stuff up with her rocket launcher and flies around and shit. And my previously mentioned Soldier 76 has a mini-rocket launcher on his assault rifle as the secondary fire on a cooldown. Junkrat is a bit trickier to get the hang of but he's fun, too. And when he dies, he spawns grenades that explode.

Most satisfying things to do in this game:
1. Hooking anybody with Roadhog. 2. Unleashing a black hole with a full power Zarya, and wiping the whole enemy team out. 3. Leaping/flying at snipers with Winston and D.Va. 4. Landing a pulse bomb on Bastion. 5. Blocking Soldier's Ult with Mei's ice wall.

I got a play of the game today by flying D.Va's mech into the middle of a defensive group that doesn't seem to notice that it was an ultimate.

Junkrat is so much fun to play as a chaotic. Constant movement, throwing out your trap and bomb and just shooting grenades everywhere. Had three really good games with him last night basically being a massive distraction for our opponents.
