Hoping I can get this downloaded tonight and at least have a go on it before the Beta closes. Not 100% it will be my thing but seems to warrant having a go.
I'm surprised more aren't taking you're attitude, you'll lose nowt by giving it a whirl.
Any of the Xbox chaps about, specifically the fence sitting Webbins? I'm gonna do the dishes then I'll be on for the rest of tonight, come join in the madness.
Aye I can stumble on about 9, give it another whirl. I need to stop character hopping and pick one or two to git gud with.

Nah, being flexible is absolutely key to beating strong team comps. Unless you're rolling with a 6 and you all decide to pick a few specific characters that you specialize with, but that's like eSports territory.
They've done an amazing job making all the characters interesting and different to play, there are imbalances but it could be soooooooo much worse. Enjoyed playing as Lucio he in some circumstances he is unbelievably good.
Thinking about Mei in the shower (but not like that, you depraved scum), I only used her once but tried to halt a couple of attacks head on, facing five enemies at distance and failing spectacularly. I've realised her game is better suited to tackling lone flankers, hem them in and close the distance using the ice wall, freeze them then pop their heads. I saw her used well last night to put a wall between me and Nexx when I was Mercy, perfect timing, killed me easily and weakened him in the process. She also worked well in tandem with Phara at a corridor bottleneck, blocking our retreat and making three of us an easy target for those rockets. It's nice to see play you can appreciate from a defender instead of the usual Bastion/Torbjorn cheapness.
I was just jumping and shooting about. It's all a bit fast for me to think about the minor strats at the moment. Had some fun with Phara and the big chick that has the shields. I imagine the shield chick could be very powerful if used well reference her buffs.
I'm also imagine that Blizzard is largely comprised of "ass men" considering the character models.
Is it over? Last night i went through all the characters abilities and skins. Some of the skins are amazing. Turret Dwarf can be a pirate, mercy can be a viking or the devil. Not usually one for cosmetic stuff but they're genuinely creative. I really want to try that support lady who builds little turrets and teleports now. So much diversity. Problem is same with all team games, if you are with randoms against a good team there is nothing you can do and it's not fun
