Genji thinks he's so cool

Blizzard, those emotes are fantastic, they really are....but you can't tease me D.Va and then hold out on me

I think people suggested that Torbjorn should be able to repair Omnic characters as a joke once, but I think that would be a legitimately cool, funny, and useful ability for him to have. Like, make it a passive called "Mechanic" or something. Not only will it make him more endearing, it bugs me that they give him a weapon like the hammer that is basically built for no real purpose except to repair his turret. Like, if that's all it's going to do, I'd rather have that be his Melee instead so I don't have to bother switching to it.

The switch time is there to balance that his hammer does almost twice as much damage as a regular melee (55 vs 30).

So lower the damage to have it be in line with normal melee attacks. I mean, when are you going to switch to the hammer to use as a weapon?

Idk, it just bugs me that I have no use for this thing except on turrets.

Popping Molten Core and chasing people around with the hammer is fucking hilarious.

11 losses yesterday. So far 3 today.

Such a good game.

Edit:
Puts a team of solos against a squad of 5. Keep on winning blizzard.

So I'm now only 6 SR away from my career high of 2031. I think I can hit it. Its one win, but the wins I've got have been getting harder. I mean I still have a 76% win rate for the season, but I don't think I can keep that up forever. That and its a little stressful being so close to silver.

nothing like playing MH and rolling a good comp with everyone getting a hero they're good with; I got Mercy and my teammates were Rein, D.Va, Ana, Widow, and Doomfist

I resurrected every death and we held point a until the last minute and still won in the end

Sombra's emote is amazing. Gonna get Moira's too. Anyone stacked on credits? I got near 6k.

So far I haven't seen a skin that I really want. Might get Doomfist's or Torbjorn's but I don't play Doom and I already have Tor's viking skin.

Seriously considering buying a gaming laptop purely to play Overwatch (instead of on PS4). Would I be making a huge mistake?

As long as you get a mouse as well you should be fine, though I'd say the experience isn't massively different from PS4 to PC...more comms, some heroes become more viable etc

I can play all the heroes fairly well but right now my hero pool is mostly Winston, Doomfist, Reinhardt, Roadhog, Lucio, Torbjorn and Reaper.

I want to put in more time with 76, Moira, Sombra, Zenyatta, Bastion, and Orisa but I feel like my pools already too high

Literally making no progress on overwatch tonight. Played for 4 hours, gained 2 sr

Hey, at least it was a gain.

Is it normal that my 6600/1070 PC can't hold 60fps in this at 4K?

Was it holding it before? Or have you never gotten a solid 60fps with your set-up? You could try lowering the graphics quality and see if it makes a difference.
Mines always at like 67-69, but I'm also at 1080p, and have a 7700/1060 PC set-up. Though I also turned the graphics settings up to high.

Most high end laptops seem to be 120hz. Why does it matter so much 60hz vs 120 or 144?

You need to open this gif in a new tab to get the full effect. And have a 120hz or higher monitor, of course. I play Overwatch at 144hz and it completely changed the game for me. I could never go back to 60hz.
