Overwatch Discussion Thread
Hello, and welcome to the Overwatch discussion thread! Here, you and other PMC members can talk about strategies, vent about the about characters being nerfed, or just share your experiences with the game. You can also vote on questions each week and suggest a guide to be made about specific characters. The only one I have right now is the guide for Sombra, but watch out for the guides on D. Va, Ana, Reinhardt, and Symmetra very soon.
Here's a question for you: Which of Moira's emotes is your favorite? Be sure to share why in the comments below!

Been playing some Roadhog, since people won't be quiet about how he's "unplayable because of all the nerfs"
I don't see it, his gun still does good damage lol

That's not my issue, at least. I just find him unwieldy, or any tank for that matter. Let's go through my thoughts when I play a tank:
Uh...
What?
Where?
Where am I?
Oh.
Ugh...
Why me!?
Yeah, I'm completely hopeless.

the words Mercy and nerfed together are amazing.

Agreed. I've had a shaky relationship with Mercy, and things aren't like what they used to be. I thought maybe it was time for me to play other heroes, maybe get a new perspective. I still love her, but I don't think I can main her anymore. It's sad, but it has to happen.
I'm sorry Angela Ziegler, but we're breaking up. XD

yup yup.

Sombra has always been a better match for me. I spend a lot of time with her too. We both love annoying the heck out of people, making snappy remarks, and using my teammates to gain an edge. I think this is the relationship is meant to be.
Also, welcome comrade! If you'd like, you can join the Discord associated with this thread. Just be warned: it's a bit more mature than PMC content. Be sure to let me know if you're interested!

I'm getting Overwatch for my birthday on the 25th of september!

I just realized with the new Mercy buff, Mercy is actually a viable candidate for a Nano-Boost. This is going to be fun.
2
So, we finally have details on the new abilities D.VA and Mercy will have.
D.VA got heavily buffed. She now has a new "E" ability, which allows her to launch a volley of mini missiles that do a tiny bit of splash damage that are fired for about 2-4 seconds. She can also use her main guns/missiles while using her "Shift" boost ability. Only downside, her defence matrix time is halfed. Overall, she's gotten more powerful offensive wise, but her defensive capabilities have taken a hit to balance. Overall, I'm fine with it.
Then there's Mercy...wow. I think she got heavily nerfed (Even harder then Roadhog to be honest.) Her power to resurrect people is no longer her ult. It is now her "E" ability. It can res 1 person, and has a 30 second cooldown. Her brand new ult is called "Valkyrie", which allows her to fly freely for 20 seconds, and the cooldown of her res is shortened to 10 seconds for the duration of her ult. Overall, I find that her res is now an ability instead of an ult is interesting, but man, her capabilities have been decimated. She can no longer multi-res, instead focusing on single target ressing, and while her ult will allow her to be harder to kill, I don't she many uses for it, except for being a harder target to hit. Main waifu has taken a severe blow, and I get the feeling she'll no longer by the No. 1 most played hero in competitive very quickly. So enjoy being able to multi-res while it lasts, people.
I'll need to test these 2 characters myself before final opinions on the changes, but I'm very worried about Mercy.
(In other news, I got every single event skin for the Summer Games, all the emotes, all the highlight intros, and even all the sprays. Life is good)

Yup. I'm making D.Va Dogfights now.
Also, I will be playing Mercy less until i learn how to deal with her.

And here I still await a switch version :( It looks like such a good game.

I dunno man, still, keep your hopes up.

There's still an app that will comeback out on NS allowing me to stream games. Maybe I could buy the game on my PC and play it on NS? -\("/)/-

I like how this post is filled with staff and the only normal member's post I find is complaining it's an Overwatch thread on a Minecraft fansite lmao
Overwatch is fabulous enough to exist here too

lol thanks. It's usually because the normal people that come here haven't read the rules. Also, welcome! We also have a Discord set up if you would like to join.

Just cause I can.

I wanna change the poll question to favorite Overwatch ship, but I have no idea which ones to include, save some. Any ideas?
2
Should I make a poll asking what everyone's favorite Overwatch ship is? I mean, I kinda wanna take down the Doomfist poll. Leopard won, by the way. So, should I do it or not?
2
XD I got a Play of the Game just for hunting down a Mercy and the Hanzo she was pocketing. After it finished playing, I look in the chat and see: "HanzoXMercy shall never be a thing. You did well Soldier." I almost died of laughter.
2
lol
Everyone knows PharahXMercy is best ship anyway

Actually, how many characters are shipped with Mercy? There's 4 I can remember, but there's probably more. But to be honest, I like GenjiXMercy best. So cute.
But I'm a McCreeXHanzo shipper so what do I know about ships?

guys send help
I was playing Competitive Lucio Ball, and after 2 matches, I went to search for another match. The game experienced an error, and now the game is constantly searching for a game, while not actually searching. I can't join any games, and I'm stuck on the main menu
Blizzard fix your broken game ;n;

My brother and I are working on a new kind of hide and seek game mode. The catch is that the hunter is blindfolded and must use sound to detect enemies. My first attempts mainly involved me walking off cliffs. XD
1
I would imagine having the hiding team be nothing but Sombra, and letting her invisible cooldown not exist would work better. Just hide as Sombra, and mash Shift to turn invisible.
2
Meh could be worse. You could go Zenyatta and have no footsteps at all. I decided to limit it to more of the noisier characters like McCree. Not too loud, but not quiet either. But if you really want a challenge, you can always go Reinhardt.
2
I'm gonna change the forum question (finally) and I want to see what everyone's favorite Doomfist skin is. And apparently the majority of you are more interested on how Doomfist plays than what he can bring to the table in terms of story.
2
Well, I guess I don't get to play Overwatch today. I have 900 players in front of me in queue.
I need a hug.
Now it's 2000.

All people who are excited for Doomfist the savior of the meta (/s).
Because the meta progression is totally not being killed by people stopping innovation by discouraging off-meta picks.

So I read the Masquerade comic, and I must say, I'm very pleased. Doomfist is such a well-designed character, especially when it comes to story. The casino scene gave me flashbacks to Casino Royale from James Bond, one of my personal favorite movies. We got some insight on Talon and we see that they have financial issues and tensions between members.
Also, a lot of people were saying that they wanted some of the costumes in the comic in the game, but they seem a bit too gaudy for my taste. Maybe something from the casino in Monaco, but it probably doesn't fit the situation.
Another small detail, Doomfist accuses Reaper of being sentimental towards Ana and Jack Morrison. His response? A very questionable "no" that hints at some possible guilt.

I think I've made an interesting discovery. After looking at all the evidence, I think Sombra's EMP isn't really an EMP at all. Instead, it's a more complex hacking command that takes a while to load and prepare. The reason I say this is that with the EMP, all electronics would be toast, including many of the technology that helps many of the other heroes function, most notably Genji or any Omnic. If it truly was an EMP, Genji's life support systems would be fried and the Omnics would shut down completely. EMP is probably just a code name for the command she uses and not an actual EMP.
Why was I thinking about this...

Thought I'd talk on Doomfist a bit. I did my research, and this guy has an interesting story behind him. Apparently, he straight-up killed the second Doomfist just to gain his place on Talon. Guess that's one way to show the student has become the master. I also like the character that Blizzard gave to him. Not only is he strong, but possesses great intelligence and a silver tongue. He seems to be the villain that Talon needed (even though some people claim he's an anti-hero when he clearly isn't.) as his welcoming demeanor and warrior spirit make him seem like an unquestionable leader.
I also came across the unfinished dialogue between Doomfist and Hanzo. From it, it's clear that Talon really wishes to recruit him, but if it's anything like Widowmaker's interaction, I think Talon's out of luck. Haven't found an interaction with any other Talon members yet, but I'm sure we'll get them soon enough. Can't wait to hear Sombra mess around with him.

Gonna have to question Talon wanting Hanzo.
So, they want Talon to have 3 DPS and 2 Defense snipers. No tanks or healers...
*team comp intensifies*

It's been a while since I posted on this thread. I suppose I'll give my perspective on Doomfist, too.
Doomfist brings a whole new play-style to the game. He has a nearly guaranteed one-shot kill mechanic, and his ultimate is extremely strong. Meteor Strike is a very unique ultimate in the game, as it can't be countered (as far as I know). The AoE is a decent size, and anyone caught in the center is killed upon impact. His primary fire is weak, but his three ability kit makes for some incredible combos. As far as personality goes, his attitude exudes exactly the kind of manner you would expect from Talon's head honcho-- confident, strong-willed, and witty. I'd love to see more of the lore, especially in the form of a new Animatic. We haven't had one of those since Sombra's release at Blizzcon last November.
Anyway, that brings me to the end of my piece. Also, feel free to hit me up on battle.net. My BattleTag is Mari#12741.

Well, that was a great poll. Now what?

To be honest, i actually forgot about this thread for a while. Sorry! I'll try and keep better track of it from now on.

smh all these lies
poll is out of date xD

Yeah, I'm a total mess. Any suggestions on a new poll? Maybe something to do with Moira (who I already hate btw)?
2
new poll: do u like moira :P
1
Done. Still haven't listen to any voice interactions but oh well. Also, where's the Talon skin for her origin trailer?
1
Okay, I'm going to change the poll to which Halloween skin is the best once I have a chance to get into the event. Also, McCree won the poll, and it seems we got more than we could have even asked for him. Van Helsing McCree is amazing.
1
So the event has dropped! What is everybody's thoughts?
1
So... The new skins have been released. Mei is now the monster she is, Zenyatta has turned from harmony to chaos, and Symmetra's a dragon. What an interesting bunch we have here.
1
It seems that Kaplan has smiled down upon me and given me the skin I so desired: Van Helsing McCree is real my friends!
1
Okay, I finally updated the poll. HanzoXMcCree seems to be the most popular ship, with PharahXMercy in a close second. The new poll is which character(s) should get a new skin for the Halloween event. Just make sure if you have a second option, put it down in the comments since you can't have multiple votes now.
1
So... What do you guys want for the poll? I'm a bit low on ideas, and the ones I have are super boring.
