i have no idea whats going on in that vod
Overall impressions:
-There seems to be a lack of use of cover throughout the video, our POV just shows him standing in the open and spamming left clip
-The special ability is just weird, what the fuck does it even do for you
-I'm not seeing much dm skill/aim in general, he's just kinda... clicking on people. It's like watching someone with an autosniper from CS, except the sniper is shooting nerf bullets.
-NO movement skill whatsoever
-Shit hud lol
Right now it just looks like a game. There doesn't seem to be a set theme (MOBA/arena shooter/etc) of the game, and, I hate to say it, but the guns seem to handle similar to guns from Call of Duty. They just click on people, except everyone dies a lot shorter than in COD.
Honestly I expected more from this game, but I'm glad it exists to create competition for tf2

MadKYou are your own worst enemy.
There is disquiet in ur soul.
cinderIn TF2 it's already annoying ot hear MEDIC from E-spammers but if a character in Overwatch spews out a quote at you every 10 seconds, that's gotta be irritating as fuck.
Yeah that was way too noisy.

[*] his "right click" is just a straight shooting orb, doesnt home just goes where your aiming
[*] he has a purple orb that either works on a cooldown or after a certain amount of regular orbs are firing that homes on targets near the cursor (might actually home on targets hit by the regular orb), looks to "Steal health"
[*] he has a yellow orb that heals allies, might heal based on how much health you have stolen using purple orbs
[*] and he has a charge up that collects 5 orbs and fires them in quick succession
[*] his ultimate causes him to take no damage and stops projectiles and enemies from passing by him within a certain AOE, although he still takes knockback
this isnt difficult guys
but his ultimate makes like no sense with the rest of his kit :DDD
ugh whatever listing is hard

Maybe it's just the characters I've watched, but I'm not excited at all. It reminds me of Super Monday Night Combat with prettier graphics and slower gameplay. It seems more spammy than a 32 man pub in TF2.

I had no idea what was going on half of the time.
But I also had pretty much no idea what was going on when I watched TF2 for the first time (Stuff like sentries, uber, spies, etc.)

I got a boner watching Mercy play though (but I'm also a fuck-head who even still gets joy out of medding pubs), which they just uploaded:

I'm gonna play this game and see how it goes, I have a feeling Blizzard will pump mucho money into it trying to make it an e-sport and I'm OK with that, because I'm not getting any younger might as well try one last game. =]
You can definitely understand what's going on on this map a bit more.
EDIT: One last note, you better upgrade your PC boys.. blizzard games are pretty notorious for having shit FPS if you want to play on decent settings and it's bad enough in RTSes/HotS but in this game.. ugh. O___________O

i dont know if this is by design since both zenyatta and mercy seem to be more supportive but god dayum health seems to just melt off. hanzo shooting her in the fucking achilles at 3:30 was a 1 shot and while i appreciate the literary allusion, that shits dumb.
still eager to try it and praying i actually make it into a blizzard beta for the first time in like 10 years.

i'm disappointed they didn't try to innovate with mercys gun to make it require a bit more skill than tf2s medigun, but they're making up for it by giving her that dash and hover.
SC2 engine is nearly 15 years old now and performs pretty terrible on modern hardware
HotS runs off the SC2 engine so performance is bad in that game too
Overwatch has it's own custom engine but I'm not entirely convinced it will run well.
I don't know the stats on the damage boost medibeam but it looks pretty bad, her pistol seems to do a lot of damage so it's probably better to just shoot and heal people.

Personally I'm not excited about the game, the theme and art style are a no for me, but we got people comparing it to tf2 like its supposed to replace it. Let's stop that? Instead lets be realistic and say tf2 is going to be running along this as a stand alone game.
Overwatch shares similar principles from tf2, but that doesn't mean just because you played tf2 you are going to have a real grip of what's going on here. I'm not taking sides, but stop comparing and treat overwatch as a new game. With that in mind when there is a new game that means there is a lot to learn. So when people are like "what the heck is happening, help my eyesss" and they throw negative feedback just because they are new to the game and have no insight, that doesn't make it right.
I wish people would step back and stop bashing each other. We can play more then one game. Nothing is dead, tf2 can't be replaced and doesn't need to be.

rock-blizzard go back to rpg and rts please...
their last rpg game was shit as well..

I can't really see how this game will be competitive as there just looks like there's so much going on it will be hard to follow, I can imagine it being a fun game to play though.
Who thought that target ID was a good idea? It's right in the fucking middle of the screen.

That and there's no fucking numbers. All you see is a bar its like tf2 default hud.

or you could look at it as they took a lesson from every popular tf2 hud and noticed that people like their targetid somewhat centered, but because it's prealpha they couldn't be bothered to to offset it yet because it's a lot easier to divide something in half, subtract it's length/height to center it than it is to fine tune a good looking offset.

HeadfulofSandvichI can't be the only one who is reminded of Super Monday Night Combat when I see this game right?
I am vindicated!

Is that actually an fps moba? all I ever remember hearing about that game was that it was some shitty pay-to-win fps made by the same guys who made HoN? Correct me if I'm wrong, I have no actual idea.

I'll try it out, but seeing how they approached the moba genre with HotS I see potential but could be a bust, won't know till release though. (pls make the ui cleaner)
Mercy looks pretty cool with the wallhacks and the ability to teleport to teammates, it's like a quickfix you can control yourself.
Zenyatta's constant quotes reminded me of playing protoss though, especially stalkers

So much eye candy effects its actually vomit inducing. :( Can't see shit past all the glowing orbs.
my biggest fear is this game will just end up being a contest of who can press the best 'I win' button and movement and deathmatching barely matter
