Uh, what specifically would break if it had 12v12? It would just be rather chaotic, like it's TF2 equivalent.

It's balanced around the whole idea of six vs six with interchanging. I am fairly certain that if there was more than just six on a team, that balance would be toppled. Anyway that's not really discussion for the TF2 thread so shhh.

I don't know that it would be exactly broken.  Look at it like this.  Multiple heavies supported by multiple medics has been the win button strat in TF2 pubs for literally years and yet almost no teams actually do it.  Like sure, the optimal strat would probably be something like 12 Winstons, but like.  How often is that going to actually happen?  You'd need bigger maps, and less turret/choke friendly setups.  But besides that it could probably work.

Its more that Blizzard isn't going for that kind of experience in Overwatch.  They have a vision of a competitive 6v6 shooter and they're sticking to it.  And to their credit, let's say that 12 Winstons is horribly broken in 12v12.  They gotta do something about that.  But doing something about that might be to the expense of their 6v6 main show.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

It's not even broken unless the other team is retarded and keeps running five snipers. A couple Roadhogs and Reapers would clean house vs a Winston comp.

I'm not happy to see this come to TF2, either. It was always a casual shooter, that's why it's good, you can just sit back and fuck around without feeling like you're terrible.

I'm struggling to think of a worse possible pair of candidates. I guess I'll just throw my vote away on a third party (I hear Stein has some interesting views on minisentries).

Now I'm trying to think of which one is hillary and which is trump. "It costs $400,000 to run this campaign for 12 seconds..."

Fixed a bug causing players to be hit by the same projectile multiple times, causing the damage dealt to vary wildly
Didn't this used to be a feature? Did it become a bug when they fixed it? :P

EDIT: Hmm, looks like they tried to make Pyros into counters to Medics.

I'm already horribly emotional that I have to actually commit time and effort to joining a "casual" game. Will make me think twice about opening and playing TF2. I miss Valve pubs and the old quickplay already. No, I'm not gonna touch community servers, the server browser is way too much effort and non-Valve pubs are 99% shit.

I mean seriously, what the fuck, why is quickplay gone? This is horrible. Suppose I don't want to use community servers. This has the following consequences: I can't choose the map I want to play on anymore, or even the game mode. I can't pubstomp. I can't kick idiots. I can't stop playing when I'm interrupted without bad consequences. I can't stop playing when I'm bored without bad consequences. I can't stop playing when I don't like the map without bad consequences. I can't fucking play Asteroid anymore. This is all stuff I do regularly, and I can't do this any more.

I don't actually like competitive play, and I'm out of options. I now feel strongly that this has turned out to be the worst update ever.

On the whole, I'd give it 2.5 neatos out of a swell.
