In the Overwatch origins edition is all the extra stuff just cosmetic and can be earned in game anyway? I ask as that is the only edn that is on sale and is the same price as the standard game.

It's cosmetic only and can't be gained any other way

If I'm honest, if I knew I would have sunk as many hours into this as I have and I could have had a funky skin for each character from the start, I would have bought Origins Edition...

Your not missing that much tbh. It literally a few skins and other cosmetic goodies in other Blzzard games like Diablo and HotS etc etc

Nexus going to add you too if that is ok?

just Scott · 19 Nov 2016 at 22:14

Yeah, I don't like a single one of the skins I got from the origins edition. I use skins from the shop instead.

Yup that is fine

I haven't bought it yet though, still unsure about longevity atm.... + got the division DLC/patch on Tuesday, which will be getting most of my time for a good couple of weeks and also wanting to see if there are any good deals on the game come black friday

From the PC deals thread you can get the origins edition for £29.99 from playover watch site directly. It be the cheapest as this games is a gem. Like you not had this much fun with FPS game for ages. The strategy and classes will keep this intresting.

Sombra needs nerfed she is totally op and doesn't balance the game.

Nexus18 · 19 Nov 2016 at 23:00

Seen that, not a bad price, hoping to see it for <£25 in a black friday deal though

And yeah it really is good fun, as I have been trying to tell the guys I played BF games + division with, it is a lot more fun to play than watching youtube videos.

Not tried her yet, will be my next hero

Played as mie/ice girl earlier, she seemed pretty good and no doubt it will annoy the enemy team when they get frozen in place

thanks.

Third proper game after practicing with the bots and I got play of the game with McCree

If they reduced the standard edition by the same percentage as the Origin edition I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

So much to learn yet but I am enjoying it a lot. Feels so refreshing playing a multiplayer game with netcode that is spot on.

Nexus18 · 20 Nov 2016 at 16:08

Love the highlights at the end of a round in this game. Got my first McCree highlight, his special is too OP

Had a few other highlights but I thought they were pretty meh. Seems like the highlights just picks whoever scored the most points/kills in a certain time period?

Also switched back to my zowie fk 1, just can't seem to get on with the g502 when it comes to aim.

You are playing against some atrocious players!

Nexus18 · 20 Nov 2016 at 16:17

haha yup, I am rank 12 after all so we are all newbies

TBF though, had some really tough matches today. Some very well organised teams.

Game is very frustrating when your team is crap though....

Jacksonn · 20 Nov 2016 at 16:20

Anyone fancy adding me??

Yeah lack of team play is the worst part about the game.

Anyone who plays regularly no matter what your level, feel free to add me:

Nexus did you buy it?? I don't think it go down any time soon as it is one those games that going to have more longevity than most.

I will. Only level 21 so newbie too. So will add anyone who wants to play. Managed yo get a 31 6 with roadhog and 28 5 with 76. That was with good support of course but was happy

Nexus18 · 20 Nov 2016 at 16:39

Nah not yet, will get it at some point although I hate knowing that I am giving blizzard money when they won't implement proper 21.9 support :mad:

Got the division patch/dlc on Tuesday so I'm going to be glued to that for a good couple of weeks

And yeah roadhog is very good, love the chain hook and shotgun blast to the face

agnes · 20 Nov 2016 at 16:43

Is this borked? Not able to find any games.

To maximise damage remember to hook > shoot > melee.

No worries we are all noobs

Kreeeee · 20 Nov 2016 at 17:17

Experience doesn't matter, team play is far more important.

"Floaty pew pew guy" is a funny way to describe characters though

Kyo said:

Not quite.

range shot ~ hook > close shot ~ melee ~ close shot

Some character don't get pulled close enough for the melee (it's buggy). For those you have to whip 90 degrees and back again to get the hook to pull them close enough.

Soldier needed a buff to be fair. Everything he did mcree could do better as a damage dealer and he just wasnt a threat most of the time. As a soldier player who needed to always switch to mcree or reaper in ranked I am happy for this change. I would even take some damage for trade off in either speed or healing because his role is dps not surviving.

I think prior to this his damage was on par with bastion recon mode or sombra smg.

I could top frag regularly pre-patch as Soldier, despite his ease of play he's still one of my favourites, and as a regular Soldier player I think he's now doing too much damage.

As said above soldier needed a buff and the increased spread means it takes a bit of skill to keep him in target. Pharah is how she should be, ie freedom of the skies! That being said a good pharah was devastating so god knows what they will be like now. Ana and Lucio nerfs are really good. It makes Lucio weaker at healing but the speed boost still means his attack viability is better than mercy. The ana nerf means the ultimate is no longer an I win button and has to be used carefully.

As above with regards to Soldier. I've always burst fired with him so the increased spread doesn't seem to affect me, I just do more damage now. Even easier to top frag.

Ana's ultimate was never an automatic Iwin, you just needed some coordination to take down the buffed player.
