The one mode I consistently have the least fun with is king of the hill.  King of the hill in TF2 was a nice casual mode that was one step away from being deathmatch.  In Overwatch the rounds are super quick and the map is constantly changing, so feels frantic rather than relaxing.  But it doesn't work for me as a competitive mode because Overwatch doesn't have the same damage ramp up with range as TF2.  In TF2 if you fight someone on the (usually tiny) capture point the fight is going to be over very quickly.  In Overwatch you can have 3 people on the (usually massive) point dodging around for half a minute and the whole time whoever capped first will be gaining points.  TF2 also encouraged fighting AROUND the points with its map design whereas in Overwatch you're either on the point or you've moved a little forward to lock the attacking team out with snipers and turrets.

I dunno, its not a fun dynamic, and it narrows down the amount of heroes that have a useful niche.

How long are matches? 

[EnigmaticHat]

5-10 minutes for attack/defense, I'd say like... 3 minutes per round in KotH?

So, anyone else playing this on the PS4...?

Also:
Roadhog OP, pls nerf

[GentlemanRaptor]

I am, PSN is MonocleRaptor

[Tnx]

Roadhog is seriously OP.  Great sustain, and if you land your hooks most of the time, you're getting many free kills... Just be careful not to hook certain counters to you (Reaper).

My tag on PC is TNX#1328, if someone wants to play.  I'm only about 15 hours in so I'm not too good.

[MrRoboto75]

shields can block hooks tho

Or you could outrange hit with a sniper or something

[EnigmaticHat]

According to a certain youtuber who's played a ton of Overwatch, Roadhog is a weak character because he allows the opposing team to build massive amounts of ult by shooting him.  Of the 5 tanks, Winston and Reinhart have huge barriers that don't build ult for the opposing team, D'Va has a lot of defensive features and is hella mobile, and Zarya boasts an unusually small hitbox for a tank.  Roadhog has a massive hitbox, no mobility features, and his only defensive ability simply provides the enemy with more squishy unarmed hitpoints on which to build ult.

What he is good at is punishing people who are out of position, which is why you're going to see many successful roadhogs during the open beta.

My problem is I just don't like playing any of the characters... None of them click for me yet.

Though my only real gripe with the game is... Bunny Hopping is back >_<

Happy fun times playing with Bay12ers.  Its strange to think we're all going to lose this game for 2 weeks and then get it back.  I spent most of the time being a human wall as Reinhart because that's where I find myself most useful on offense.  Also used an ice wall to push three people into a Symmetra trap room.  A Roadhog pulled even more people in; they stopped even trying to enter the room after a few minutes.

I see TNX in the thread, is Choppy here too?

I am around, I do not post much though.

Been playing Morde and McCree, Bastion too when I'm feeling like a shitler.

McCree is bullshit.  Very little health but his dodge reloads and fanning the hammer twice is enough to kill even tanks.

[Tnx]

Fun games with you guys last night.  Love it when someone else is main tanking so I can play Roadhog!  And yaeh Cthulu, I've met one McCree who could consistently kill me when I'm roadhog by doing that.

I just downloaded this today, and I'm thinking of either playing Mei, D.va or Zenyatta.

But I wanted to know if any of those characters will make me be hated.

Also, I'm bored pls add me

Not really no. I personally hate Mei because if you run into her at melee / mid range you basically die but she's not overpowered.

No one is particularly overpowered but certain heroes are invincible in pro hands. Genji for example. Tracer is another. Most of us won't be facing the pros though.
