The Last Poster Wins! [v21]

[Chibi Altaria]

Well, for a lot of the heroes, aiming your weapon isn't even as big of a thing (Overwatch definitely isn't one of those super-serious FPS games where you're royally screwed if you don't have the aiming and reaction time of a special forces soldier). Every hero offers a different way to help the team, and even if one hero doesn't quite feel right for you, try the others! I'll easily admit there are some heroes I'm just terrible at (here's looking at you, Junkrat!), but there's plenty of others that I can do well with.

In the meantime, Overwatch kind of has a rock, paper, scissors thing going on (or like the Pokemon type chart) where one hero will overpower another, but then not do well against a third. And that's there the teamwork component comes into play. If you work together to employ all of strengths of your heroes and overcome their weaknesses, you'll do great.

But overall, just have fun with it! Sometimes I like to play Tracer even though I'm just okay with her. It's fun to pester their snipers with her and distract the enemy team. It drives people crazy. Plus who doesn't love throwing sticky bombs on Bastion in turret form? It's all good fun.

Oh...it sounds a little more forgiving then. xD Since I'm primarily on console I can't play FPS to save my life. And the few that I've tried I've been rather awful at, especially multiplayer games because the vets kill me in an instant. T^T I suppose it does help to have a team, though, and if everyone basically knows what they're doing it should be okay. Even if they aren't great. xD

I like that each player has advantages and weaknesses, too! That rounds things out a little more. I'd like to try the game honestly, just to see what all the hype is about. But I'm not going to buy it without a trial run first. I just don't know anyone that has it so I can play. xP

It's a lot more forgiving than some of the other FPS games I've played. Not to mention the game sets you up with players of similar skill, so usually you won't be dumped into games where vets will eat everyone in sight.

For example, I play D.Va a lot. You really don't need to be big on aiming with her either, since her mech guns fire in a spread formation and unless you're really close to your target, you're not going to do much damage to them anyway and it mostly functions as suppressing fire so other teammates can jump in and attack alongside you. Her mech can take quite a bit of damage (she's classified as a tank character, meaning she's meant to take on a lot of punishment and she's meant to be on the frontline of the fight), she can put up a defense matrix barrier in case you're taking a lot of gunfire, and she has a thruster which can provide a quick way to head to an objective, dash to cover, or even fly up to a better vantage point (it actually took me a while to realize she can fly upwards with this). Even when the mech is destroyed, she ejects herself and can fight on foot for a while, though she is quite fragile outside of the mech. As long as you fall back and attack from a distance, you'll be able to call in another mech and get back into the fray. Meanwhile, her ultimate ability is she can make her mech self-destruct, which creates a large blast radius. It isn't so great on maps that have a lot of cover, but if you catch the enemy team off guard and unprepared to deal with it, you can blow up quite a few people with it! I've gotten quite a few Plays of the Game doing this.

Some of the things you do need to watch out for while playing D.Va is while in mech form, she's a HUGE target. You will definitely eat sniper bullets from Widowmaker and Ana and lots of rockets from Pharah. If she gets surrounded and attacked from all angles, she's toast. She's also a bit on the slow side.

Some heroes will definitely "click" for you once you've played them for a while (you can test every hero and their abilities in a kind of training arena so you know how they work). Try all of them! Sometimes I play heroes I usually don't touch just for a fresh feel and to see if I discover any new neat strategies.

Meanwhile I can't play half of them because I have a Mac.

I'll be honest, I don't know why people buy Macs. I'm all Windows PCs and Androids and I'm totally happy with these.

My mother's job requires it. Macs also have better editing skills when it comes to photo, audio, and video editing. They're less likely to contact malware and in my case it's cheaper to buy a Mac than anything else.

I like them. ;c Or did, until they revealed the new Pros. Now I'm looking elsewhere. I prefer the Mac interface, though. It's so sleek. *drools*

And yeah, they're usually higher end for graphics and 3D work, but many PC people will argue with that, too. xD I don't care either way.

Well on the Overwatch side. Starting on December 15th if you guys want I can get some Overwatch nights going. Most nights would have to be earlier or not last as long....darn work xD.

As for you Mac users. I can understand the reason some people prefer them because of the exclusive things it has business wise. I do personally recommend a Widows desktop/laptop. Much more of a variety to play games and stuff.

That's only if you like customising things and playing games all the time. :p All I need mine for is my design and editing work, which Mac does fine. So a PC is just the same to me.

That's the thing, you can do great high-end graphics work on a PC. But if you prefer the Mac interface, that's a different story.

I knooooooow, like if Windows had the same interface (or similar) to Mac I'd be all over that. xD I'm particular with how I like things aha. People like to say how Apple makes no sense with its interface, but I think it's very user-friendly. Windows 10 is alright, but 8 just...I dunno. It confused me so much my brain hurt.
