Finally got my hands on this.  Its fun.  Really fun.

Can confirm that Mei is Bae.  Got epic card for freezing people (and then froze way more people later and no one commended me :/).  No play of the game yet.

Edit: Played exactly 1 symmetra game, got 15 turret kills.  I don't know who thinks that character isn't fun to play...

[MaximumZero]

Oh, it's hella fun. Wolfeyez just went on a 21 player killstreak with D.Va, and I had a 20 earlier with Widowmaker.

[EnigmaticHat]

I was just on the receiving end of like 8 stomps in a row... you'd be surprised how few kills you can have and still have a gold metal for eliminations.  Like... 1.

I think everyone went to bed and it was just premades left.  Kinda wore myself out on the game by playing 6 hours in a row but it is genuinely good.

Same here. I think this game is impossible for solo queue, just like Dota or League.

I played around 20 matches solo after all my teammates went to bed like 6 hours earlier. I think I won 4. When I played in a team we won like 90%, which should be obvious.

I don't think I'll buy it though. I imagine by May 9th I'd have played the full crapload out of it. Right now while I'm enjoying it (when I'm not getting stomped) but there isn't that much in the game. It's very much like TF2 on release. Except this has more characters than TF2 on release. Though there's no server browser... or mods.

I don't know, I played with a team of 3 yesterday and we won 2 games and lost 8. Played solo and actually won a bunch of games.

I think it might have something to do with one of the people in the team having played during closed beta and actually being good at the game, so Blizzard's matchmaker put us up against groups of much better players (than the other two of us who had never played before). (HotS does/did the same thing)

nnngh
wish i could run it better BUT EVEN SO, IT'S SO FUN

[EnigmaticHat]

Face team that only runs single hero cheese strats.  Get switched to them for waiting period, decide we'll go all Roadhogs except one Lucio.  Get switched back when game starts, go Bastion.  Hide in corner behind giant wooden doors on the Japanese level.  Kill every single Roadhog as they walk through.  A particularly observant Roadhog noticed and tried to hook me but a Mei bravely/accidentally took it for me.

First PotG I've ever got

Been playing since the open Beta headstart, 35 hour or so by now. I seriously love this game.
Matchmaking feels weird, but I guess that is because the MMR were wiped and veterans get dumped into newbie games (or the other way around).
I think in our third or fourth game we (3 people) got thrown in against a veteran premade who stomped us hard.


I really like the PotG feature, I think its a geat idea. Not so much if it is just generic Reaper ambush #3185, but quite often you see something that was masterfully played or something you wouldn't have been able to come up with yourself that you can copy. It is quite helpful.

My own personal favorite was when I was playing D.Va on Kings Row. My team was pushing the payload during overtime and currently located in that S shaped bend before the end. Enemy McCree was charging his ultimate at my entire team, while I was just arriving from further back because I was respawning my mech.
While McCree was charging I managed to charge between him and my team, turn midair and activate the shield a heartbeat before the gun goes off, saving everyone (we even won the match afterwards).
Of course one of our offensive players complained about that being shown, not his own (and "better") 4 player multi-kill. 
He even complained about that for a whole 2 more rounds before he left.

Sent an invite.  Probably.

The game is giving me a warning that early leaving can result in a penalty.  Hopefully that is because it was just added and not because I repeatedly did that

Didn't realize that behavior is frowned upon in these parts.

[IWishIWereSarah]

I woke up at 6 just to play that beta :/

Anyway, I watched gameplay videos earlier during the Beta, and I've seen maps I didn't see there. Are they limiting the number of mods/maps during the open beta ?

[EnigmaticHat]

I thought they would, but I haven't seen any maps on youtube that I haven't played.  Let's see... there's the tower, the Japanese level, cp_Egypt, Hollywood, Highway 66, Illios, the Russian corporation level, King's Row... I think that's it?  It took me several hours of playing to see all of those since they're picked at random.

Edit: One thing I didn't realize until I actually got to play the game is the visual theme of the map design.  Almost every map has two distinct sections.  Usually one looks like a normal-ish near future city and the other is something more stylized or strange.  Example: King's Row starts out as about what you'd expect from the name but then moves on to some sort of industrial building with a giant pit you can fall into.

[IWishIWereSarah]

Oh then it's simply that I haven't seen them all.
From the "highlights" section, I've played on 6 maps only (in ~2 hours).

I kinda suck, but can do pretty good with Junkrat and Symmetra.  (and passable with Mercy, Reinhardt and Pharah).
