Hope they make some more. I'd love a Mercy or a McCree funko as well.

That is some cute shit right there!
 
Most fun I've had with a shooter and a beta in years. Congrats Blizzard. Getting this day 1.

Also Junkrat best hero.
 
Why do ppl say Overwatch is not free to play? Sry, but I don't get it. I mean for some MMORPGS like WoW you have to pay a monthly fee, but there is no actual monthly fee or extra $ you must for Overwatch after you bought this game right? I bought this game for 75$ and can play it online, so I don't rly get why this game is not free to play. I mean it has pay to play DLC content, but this is sth every nowadays games has.
Also these lootboxes, all they give to you are new skins, colours etc? Or can you get new weapons, characters, stages and stuff?

Can someone explain?

Overwatch is not considered free-to-play because you have to pay for the retail price of the game in order to play it. F2P games can be played without spending money....for the most basic of content anyways. F2P games don't require an initial investment to lure in new players. Once they are hooked, they goad players with microtransactions, whether it be vanity items or something that will actually give the player an advantage.

Blizzard is making their money off the copies shipped to retailers and any form of microtransactions (DLCs/expansions) before moving on to the next. Publishers of F2P rely on ads and heavy use of microtransactions, and they tend support their games for a much longer period of time to ensure a contuing flow of revenue.

What kind of game modes would you like to see added?

I personally would love to see them tackle "Capture the Flag" with this. I think this would make people play more support since god knows not too many people enjoy playing as the healer... Which I can never understand why unless it has something to do with the whole "They're not really the strong characters, nor most of them can hold up a fight against another person." <--- Even though that's basically Mercy, although it's not really true anymore since I feel like they gave her a damage boost out of nowhere.

There's also a battleground in Warcraft that was introduced in Mists of Pandaria, Temple of Kotmogu. Players take control of four artifacts as long as they can in a scoring zone. I'd like to see them do something with that, despite that it's not really my favorite battleground "Strand of the Ancients" is. I think though, out of all the battlegrounds they have, this one would work more than the others.
 
Capture the flag would be a nightmare. A Primal Rage Winston would wreck shop every time since has so much health and his quarter of a map clearing leap recharges in 1 second.

Not to mention Tracer and Reaper teleport shenanigans
 
A domination-like mode would be nice but I'm not sure it would work due to the structures of the maps. I can't honestly think of any suggestions as many say TDM is needed, but would render support/defense heroes a lot more irrelevant. I honestly just want more maps.
 
Correct me if Im wrong,
but when you are on defensive play I think Torbjorn is kinda broken when you place the turrets on the right spots - Im going on 11+ kill streaks all the time without much effort - just hide repair the turret, lvl up - boom boom boom. I got a feeling he will get nerfed. Feels like playing USF4 Guile patch 1 all over again lol.

His turret is almost impossible to destroy when its on a moving structure unless youre Widowmaker or Hanzo. It gets annoying when theres more than one of them.

A turret on a moving platform? Now that's diabolical lol. If you're a sniper then it's easy mode. Stay out of range and shoot the turret.

Basically anybody with long range can destroy the turret or an ultimate like D.VA's, Winston or Hanzo and clear a room of them if shot correctly

Also I made a video you guys, check it out for me?

 
I've been on teams with people who can't play their characters right when there's turrets. Attack shouldn't really have an Widowmakers but god almighty someone always plays as her. (I do when it's on King's Row, mainly because that's THE sniping map of the game so far and I rarely have a piss poor match on it) But sometimes when I'm on attack and someone is playing Widowmaker, they cannot for the life of them understand that they can easily take out turrets.

Me and this Lucio player kept yelling at Widow the entire match because they wouldn't take out turrets, and I couldn't get to them as Reaper because I couldn't position myself in back of them. Widow kept shooting at absolutely nothing and kept dying. Of course we lost because they wouldn't do the simple task of taking out Torj's turret.

Symmetra is another that people don't seem to understand either. She puts five turrets up, you take them all out before progressing further. If you don't, they'll drain your life quickly as how Bastion can do it. I, as Tracer, would sometimes get all the turrets, and of course my health is like at 10% so I have to do a recall, but you have two other players that are right down with me that can't take the time to take the turrets out.

I don't get people and their logic about turrets. They're not hard to take out once you know that they can be taken out, but unless one person attempts to go after it, you usually have people just sitting and waiting. Reinhardt has a shield that can easily block turrets, and they just stand far back and not even getting into the middle of the fight. THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF HIS CHARACTER!!!
