MOBA is just a catch all term for mobile battle arena. That can mean a lot of different things. I think Overwatch feels more like a MOBA because you have these highly specialized roles, synergy between these roles, and a lack of proper 1 v 1 balance.

In TF2, you have classes, but the general point is still kill more guys than the other team. All modes in Overwatch are objective-based. K/D doesn't amount to much aside from enemies capping objectives while you're on a respawn timer. There are even characters that can go an entire round with only one or two kills.

Problem with her is, you are priority target every match

I'll completely go out of my way to chase her down on the enemy team and teabag her.

Oh definitely. I think that is why most have been going with Lucio recently. You are a little more formidable.

Want to have a terrible time? Play a match against three coordinated tracers, a Lucio, Hanzo, and Pharra in the Brawl. That's how you have a terrible time.

It is like +200% health with damage increased and all ability cool down times are greatly reduced. So, for tracer, you have unlimited sprints and the reverse cools down every three seconds. Specials also are ready much quicker.

Just bought this game kind of on impulse. Last game I did that with was The Witcher 3. Hope it works out the same

I noticed that game mode the other day, but didn't play it.

Do they still have the game mode where you get a random champion upon respawn every time you die?

Not this week. That game mode as I know it changes every week. This week's you can choose whatever Hero you want. I really like that mode though, leads to some interesting games to say the least.

Go into it with the understanding of the whole point of the game is to be a fun multiplayer experience and you'll like it. Try and team up with friends and you'll be good.

He's fun. Trobjorn is pretty boss too. Some characters have left trigger attacks even if it doesn't say they do.


I can't get a hang of Hanzo. I'm watching kill cams and there seems to be a lot more leniency on accuracy, but when I use him, if it isn't exact I don't get a hit. Going to have to practice some more with him

Reaper is great. If you're decent at flanking you can regularly get 20+ kills.

I love getting to high vantage points and dropping down up close on them. I'll die a lot of the time but I can take out usually 2 or 3, sometimes more before I do. Train for the heals since they're usually in the back and you can really influence a match.

I've also seen the light on Zarya. She is actually really helpful. When her gun is at full charge, it does some damage.

So, love me some Widowmaker.

I need to work on an attacker though.

I haven't played enough to learn anyone else yet.

I like the mine and the charged sniper shot. Can lay down good support kills.

Depends on the map you are playing.

I don't understand why people won't change heroes at all. If we have the cargo 2 ft from the end game, just everyone switch to Reinhardt and walk it in. That Hanzo isn't doing shite 50 yards behind us.
