If I'm honest, be very surprised if CTF was introduced, it doesn't really exist in TF2 these days (apart from Turbine).

The game itself has already created a sort of "must have classes" to win aka. meta, if you go against those you will quickly lose.

Hopefully they can make some changes and make it a little bit more varied (as they originally planned).

I'm hoping they make it so you can only have 1 character per team (as in you can't all be the same one).

hero lock might have a toxic effect on community like League of Legends.

Much of the games strategy is about switching to counter certain things during the game though, locking heroes will ruin that

Yeah, hero lock hopefully won't be implemented, the only annoying hero with more than 1 is Bastion.

As above, they wouldn't do this and Blizzard don't allow plugins etc, so I doubt this will happen via a third party mod.

Though that said, a team may chose to only run 1 of a certain character.

Really dislike these exclusive betas Blizzard does. Makes me not want to buy into the game when people have been playing for months already, especially being a competitive player

Unfortunately, this may already be the case.

Some are already talking about the players who are in now, being unreachable on a skill level gap quite soon.

Heads up - starts again tomorrow!

Maybe I'll get lucky enough to try it this time around ... ah who am I kidding.

Well colour me amazed, found the installer on my launcher last night so downloaded and had a quick game vs AI to get a feel for it. Looks interesting, roll on the weekend when I have more time, assuming the beta is still up.

Been playing the BETA again now it's back, each hero has skins now - I made some videos to show them. Not fully complete yet but soon.

Pretty interesting that this thread isn't more active - could be because it's still limited beta.

WiZZyWiGG · 11 Feb 2016 at 12:54

Probably. I am still waiting to get in properly, I only got access during one weekend but I loved what I did play and am itching to get back in.

I would pre-order now if it meant instant beta access.

valkia · 11 Feb 2016 at 13:03

I've got a feeling they'll open it wider soon™

MooMoo444 · 11 Feb 2016 at 17:22

Lots of people stuck in the OnlyWatch™ beta right now. Soon they will be upgraded to OverWatch.

I managed to get in! I have pre-ordered it, not sure if that helps. I've played a lot of Diablo and Hearthstone recently, may also have helped.

Spend a lot of money on HotS and Hearthstone and they're sure to notice your account easier..

Yeah... If that was the case, I assumed I would have got in much earlier!

MooMoo444 · 22 Feb 2016 at 11:27

Any other beta players on here?

Seems to be very limited, this thread will probably become popular once the game comes out. It's really fun, and minus the similarities of TF2 it's on it's own for a game type.

It appears most people on OCUK haven't got in. That said, I was one of the fortunate ones to get in.
