Sombra seems fun, but I haven't used her outside of being forced to one time during 1v1.


thanks for not triyng her out in QP. Competitive has been frustrating for me the last few days. But the 3v3 is legit

These characters have stories attached to them and so what if some of them are LGBT? Why would that bother you?




Because we don't need diversity and politics in video games.

Sexuality shouldn't be political. That's not the fault of the LGBT community, though.

Heterosexual romances have been around since the creation of video games and no one has ever called it political. In order for LGBT citizens to finally get their sexual preferences out of politics, their relationships have to be normalized. That involves them becoming more and more prominent in our media. It has to happen this way or else the issues they face just continue to be marginalized and ignored.

You definitely aren't wrong.

This was one thing that kind of annoyed me about Overwatch though as well, but I mean it's not like it's hard to just ignore it.

It's not like every time I pick Tracer or some other fanfiction LGBT character some notification pops up saying, "BTW, they like to 69 other chicks."

I don't play the game a whole lot, but a majority of it is fan driven or in shorts that you have to go and actually look up to watch than anything else. It's not actually in game play.

I think it will likely be Zarya and Sombra having a relationship.

Then they will out Rein as gay because he is the most Alpha of the bunch.

just dont see what having and LGBT character will add to the "story", or how or why they would incorporate it.

"Diversity"

Next that will add a Caitlyn Jenner type character.

Runs around the game as a male character and his ULT turns him in to a female with some different weapon temporarily.

Rein used to bang PHarah, doesnt change that he could be a bear/gay though.



ETA: or maybe it was ANa, whichever is the mother in that relationship, he used to knock boots.

Pretty sure she is, or symettra. They interact and talk to eachother during the 30 seconds before round. Maybe i'm wrong

Bought this a couple weeks back but only played it once and it didn't draw me in so I started playing other things.

Gave it another chance this weekend and I played all day yesterday and today. Can't wait to play more tomorrow. Believe I'm at about level 18 or 19 after starting at lvl 1 on Saturday

Low levels go pretty quick. Depending on the win/loss rate you end up with in competitive you can get about 1 level per 45min-1hour.

Im down man, been spending most my time on the new PC. But I dont have many PC friends on Overwatch. I dont think i've Q'd up more than 2 or 3 people, it sucks. I thought more people would talk and be active on PC, but they're not.


Just send me a msg on xbox, i get them on my pc. Our 3v3 would be unstoppable haha

Free pretty much anytime before 5pm and after 9:30 CST

Symmetra Kit Reboot Upcoming - Video from Jeff Kaplan

Cliffs:

Symmetra will have 2 ultimates you can choose from - Teleporter and a Shield Generator.

Teleporter has more health and regens itself.

Shields are replaced with a barrier that projects from her character (similar to Lucio I think).

Sentry Turrets - You can place 6 turrets immediately at the start of the match instead of 3. Cooldown decreased 2 seconds to deploy new sentry.

Damn that's awesome. Love playing symmetra already, now it'll be really hard to pass her up.

My first choice is usually support next being one of the defensive heroes. Symmetra or zynyatta are my first two options.
