D.va suicides and Bastion ults.

Real talk: Game is Amazing! It's really fun and the characters are incredibly well thought out. However I feel like Battleborns systems are a little more.. Hmm in depth. One isn't better then the other right now.

Holy shit this game is awesome. Can't decide who I like best since pretty much every character I've tried is so much fun.
She makes me not want to even bother with the other characters. Her special is trash though. Zero range and nothing special effect-wise. That said, she can run an entire game by herself if there's anything close to a skill gap.

I swear I have to play Reinhardt in every game where my team is losing just to give my team a fighting chance. I mean I love Reinhardt (prolly my favorite tank suprisingly (thought D.Va would be)) but I would like to try other heroes out!

Lower the render quality percentage thingy and it will run lower than native res and upscale.

Don't forget Junkrat ults. Gotten a few PotG with that Rip-Tire. But yeah, definitely dominated by a few of the higher damage classes moreso than solid teamplay.
Then again, Mei putting up an ice wall that saves the entire team from an ult doesn't look as flashy as an ult actually going off.
Already had a 27 kill attack/defend game, this is pretty addicting.

I don't think matchmaking rank resets between beta waves. My career profile shows me with 59 wins even though I only played 5 games today. I wonder if they're doing this on purpose to keep the practiced closed beta players away from the people just starting today?

Really enjoying the game so far. Been switching between Farrah, Widowmaker, and Tracer. Widowmaker is the most fun but Farrah has been the most effective for me. LOVE the grappling hook, only wish it had a shorter cooldown (but I get why it doesn't). Straight up 007 Agent Under Fire style.
I fear for randoms being expected to play their roles but we'll see. At least the game itself is fun enough to play
First match I played some dumbass was blaring music and John Oliver's show through his headset so I muted all audio. Sorry team

Yeah I love this game, but the average player is frankly stupid. They don't play the objective....
My last game I was defending the objective by myself with Tracer for 3 minutes. 0_o

Any gaffer got a spot open or wanna form a team? Looking for communication and such. Still a noob tho FYI. On ps4 btw.

Yup. Half the time I am forced to go Mercy because people are idiots and try to Call of Duty all their encounters.

We gonna create a community thread for this game? we desperately need some actual teammates.
Feels the opposite way to me. I get rolled unless I pick an attacker and murder the enemy team. I can sit around healing all day, but if my teammates are constantly lost in alleys or can't hit shit, support isn't doing anything.

I think yoshi said he would create it but due to finals and crap it's going to be delayed, 'lest someone can take over.

Same here. I wanna communicate.
My sleeping pattern hadn't been great recently but I never usually go to sleep this late.

Nows the time to do that without really worrying too much about losing the match, I say its a beta so just have fun and try as many things as you can
Yup. I'm using this beta to just learn the heros and go batshit. I'll try-hard when the game fully releases

Using a hook to pull someone into a pit or off a ledge feels so badass when people just keep trickling in after respawn.

I knew I wanted to play as Widowmaker when I first saw footage of her in the game. I usually play a support sniper in these kinds of games. I love her look, but she really didn't feel good to me. I tried out a couple of the other heroes, but again, no one felt good. Then I met D.va.
Where has this woman been all my life?! Everything feels so right when I play as her, and without having to suicide any chance I get. Now, I just need that Junker skin and the laying around emote and I'll be set.
After playing a bit as Widowmaker, I really thought the game wasn't that great and was kind of disappointed. When I discovered D.va, I couldn't put it down. Even when I did poorly, it was still fun.

Yo, this game........ so refreshing!!! I haven't had this much fun with a MP in so long. My only issue is how many players ignore objectives. Also, Reinhardt is dumb.

So far, yes! But I imagine with a coordinated team of gaffers you could do more damage.
Im kinda bummed about these plays of the game. Had an 11 kill streak with that russian lady but some mcree got the pog with 3 kills :/
I'll add ya, I'll be on some more tomorrow. Game is tons of fun even tho I have no idea what I'm doing yet jumping from character to character.My Psn is ruinerprime if any wants a mic player. I can't wait for the Community thread
I did kick all sorts of ass with Lucio tho, buffing teammates with speed and healing is awesome but I managed to go on a few long kill streaks while still playing the support role.
Not sure how the system works as I haven't played it yet but that sounds glorious if it means players aren't just rewarded for kills.
It's 1080 most of the time. They use dynamic resolution.

Ahh alright, thats why sometimes there are slight jaggies ( but most of the time it seems 1080 ).
Haven't had this much fun with a multiplayer FPS in a loong time. Favourites so far are Tornbjörn, Lucio and Reinhardt. I think I'll focus more on the supporting and tanking characters. That'll probably help my team more than my shitty aiming. 
And what's the meaning of the bar beneath your own health? Seems like it fills with those "flame points" you get from healing and such.

Heah but I was blocking damage and giving out barries all while killing 11 guys in a row. This mcree stood there and popped his special and killed 3 dudes. That doesnt take skill.
