    I was super excited for Battleborn until I played it. Thankfully I got into the early beta and jumped off that train before it got to the station and crashed.

    Symmetra's Turrets are godly, just used her for the first time defending Temple of Anubis.

    Still have to try out Roadhog, Winston, Zarya, Hanzo and Genji but I'm slowly starting to pick how to play as everyone up.

    Reinhardt keeps growing on me, especially on Payload whether Defence or Offense

    An interesting few games we played as a full pre-made tonight. Just need people to be a bit more objective-minded, and we should do even better next time.

    I don't dislike Overwatch. It's damn fun, and reminds me of TF2 (though with less to do). Considering I've got over 750 hours on TF2 but stopped playing a year ago or so, that's a good thing!

    But.. it's the "Less to do," that bothers me, I guess. It feels like this release was incomplete, and I'm not really used to that from Blizzard. No single player at all, no competitive mode even though they tried it in beta. They pulled it during the beta because it wasn't working, but they never completed the revamp before the game actually released?

    I thought that was the point of beta, to figure out what you needed to work on and fix before you actually release the game. So while Overwatch feels incredibly polished on the gameplay front, it feels like everything else was half-assed or rushed. Dunno, maybe I'm completely off-track here, just feels like there's a lot missing.

    There won't be a single player.

    The Competitive was pulled prior to launch and will be released in June for everyone. :)

    Yeah, I know it's coming in the first content patch, but it just feels really sloppy to not have it ready for release.

    During the facebook Q&A they had, they said that Maybe/possibly/probably not for a campaign later on, so I never had any expectations for one. Feels somewhat odd, though, considering how much effort they're putting into the lore outside of the game itself.

    Anyone check out those stat sites that are popping up? They show some interesting stats though I wish they were more in depth. Here's my stats.

    Mine. I am uncomfortably high in the 'time played' rankings.

    Considering people had to be level 25 to access Competitive, having it immediately available would have done no one any good.

    I'm of the opinion that it's better that they pulled it to polish it further and make it the best that it can be rather than leave the current version running. They'd already committed to their launch date for a while, there was no changing it without pissing off a ton of people.

    My stats.

    I'm okay with them considering I play mostly solo.

    Hmm

    Well, I know my win rate is poor, and in particular my Zarya win rate, but I also know that I'm usually doing what I'm supposed to be doing, due to my relatively high(compared to my friends list, at least) Objective Time ratings(and Objective Eliminations, to a less important degree). Merrill can confirm that.

    Surprisingly decent KDA considering the win rate, and the focus on Objectives.

    Meh, ignore KDA imo, unless you're 1:10 or something.

    The trick to Combat Symmetra is to never stop ducking, weaving and jumping.
