I was going to go and list the heroes by hogwarts houses but, well, they tend to either be slytherin or griffindor. Might put Bastion in Hufflepuff.
I dunno, plenty of Ravenclaws in the cast too.  Winston, Ana, Torb, Symmetra, Mercy.  Maybe Hanzo and Pharah but that's pushing it.

For Hufflepuffs... Mei, Bastion, Zen.  Ana's good at finding things I guess.  If you wanted to be funny you could throw Reaper or Roadhog in.  Oddly enough I could see an argument for Junkrat as a Hufflepuff because while he doesn't fit there he's a pretty weak match for the other houses as well.  He has the malice and prejudice of a slytherine but he just feels... not angsty or solemn enough.

I still like this idea of an Overwatch "trickswap" AU. Reinhardt flies around and rain justice and bodyslamming on people. Mei skates around and harass people. Mercy is a salty old woman who stole the Valkyrie suit and chuck biotic fields everywhere as she play air cavalry. Reaper rant constantly about dragons and throw shotguns at people.

No, Reaper says "Our world is worth fighting for!" and a bright, cheery "Hola, mis amigos!"

Widowmaker swings her rifle around like a baseball bat and inexplicably has a Reinhardt shield; her fireblast is just firing the rifle once with no scope.  She constantly shouts things about honor and protecting her friends.

Also D.va gets to fulfill her dreams of being MLG and has a railgun MEKA. She's this kind of weird defense-tank hero who squat on the point and threaten to headshot people.

Although I preordered just after the open beta, I only really started playing last month.

I'm in rural Victoria, Australia, and only on every so often, but if you want to add me I'm Smiter#1762. I generally do OK as Pharah and Reinhardt as they're what I've been playing mostly, but I'm trying to branch out a bit.

There are few things as beastly as an Ana-ulted Reinhardt >:D

I'm usually the one playing Ana though.

I've been doing pretty mediocre in season 2 so far.  I'm starting to suspect its because I don't play it exclusively and everybody else is getting better faster than I'm getting better.   :P

If you reach a point where your rank stops increasing, start recording your matches and review them, figure out the mistakes you're making that are holding you back and what you need to get better at. Maybe your positioning could be better, maybe you need some aiming practice, maybe you need to get better at evaluating advantages/disadvantages and when to play aggressively or defensively. There's a reason behind most death, find those reasons and you'll improve.

I can't wait to start season 2 competitive play. I'm waiting on a new mouse mat so I have room to play with an even lower sensitivity and don't want to have to get used to it while playing competitive. I'd rather be consistent so I can better gauge things.

Yeah those are all things I should be doing, but also am probably too lazy to do.  :) 

I kind of wish there were more youtube guides by people in the master and up tiers.  I like to play Pharah and do watch this guy Valkia's videos to try to learn how I should be playing.  Mostly all I've learned is shoot rockets from really really far away and be crazy good at conc-jumping all over the place.   :P

My aim definitely could be better though, so I do try to work on that a little bit.
