Any help? Or is it solely because it only starts tomorrow? Because if so then there should be some kind of warning or not let me launch the game
You'll be able to get in after 18cet, at least that's what Overwatch twitter said.

It does that for me anytime i try to launch the game and there is a pending update. But it launches without telling me there is an update. Sometimes I have to close the game and wait a minute or two then it will start updating and say there is an update.

Now that I've played some hours I can finally give some feedback on it.
The game itself is fun, at least for the first few hours, I'm not sure about the replay value of it yet because I haven't really sunk a ton of hours into it, but I assume with so many "heroes", and more coming it won't be that huge of a problem.
My main criticism is the movement, holy shit this is some of the worst movement I have ever experienced on an fps or any game for that matter, very clunky movement on pretty much every character, specially on those which should benefit the most from it. Seriously, characters with explosive jumping abilities and no air strafe or maneuverability whatsoever. Very disappointing.
Game is fun, but it's not a "TF2 Killer" by any means, nor it can be because it plays more like a first person moba than an fps. Also I don't see how it can be interesting competitively, from what I've felt from my limited experience, there's a lot of crutches or dumbed down mechanics. It will probably be huge competitively anyway cuz it's blizzard and they can dump bags of money on it.

They made Heartstone competitive, no doubt Overwatch would be as well.

It's gonna be what HotS is to DotA. You play it a few times a month at most, consider it moderately fun but wouldn't make it your main game ever.
Two more of my friends got in. One never played WC3/WoW/D2, the other didn't even bother installing it. Welp.

The air control is really weak and awfully stiff but I personally like how directional keys don't have any movement momentum (0-100% in all directions, instant stop when letting go of WASD) aside from Lucio since he wears skates.

HotS is actually a really good game, and getting better. Most people dont play it because either of the stigma of "HOTS? XD" or the game is "too casual" but the game isnt trying to be dota. Its something different entirely. Im scared that how blizz is handling overwatch, its gonna suffer from "overwatch? XD" in a year

i wish i could see my health i never know when i have low health
overall i really like the game, however heroes with no extra movement options feel slow and clunky (i.e hanzo or like all the supports)

my friend notified me he was still in the beta and i tried and was still in too, some of my friends haven't gotten in again even though they were in the weekend wave, but i guess my account is still flagged?

Same happened to me, I still had the beta as active on my battlenet account profile and I could launch the game but couldn't get a server connection. So I assumed it was bugged and I wasn't in the beta anymore so I just unninstalled it
