      We've almost gone an entire page and no one's mentioned tracer's butt pose.

      This will not stand.

        Losing the butt pose makes about as much sense as putting more clothes on Kali in Smite.

          I understand losing the butt pose. It didn't fit the character and was just random pointless sexualization.

          That being said, I am downloading the game now. Woop woop woop woop woop. /Zoidberg

            I find it amusing that the parent complained about that Tracer pose, yet Widowmaker has her cleavage showing down to her navel just about in one skin that I have. Guess tits are alright but ass isn't.

              I didn't see anything overly sexual about the pose honestly.

              That said I like how even if she was trying to be flirty, it's perfectly okay she's a woman that accepts money to kill people. Let's not mince words, they are all mercenaries. They are here because they kill people for money. That is perfectly fine... but flirting is not fine.

                  I've been bouncing between Pharah, Solider:76 and, if I am feeling up to healing, Zenyatta. I need to branch out more, though, and give some of the other heroes a try at some point instead of getting into a comfort zone.

                  On the note of that Tracer pose: Apparently the guys at Blizzard weren't happy with it to begin with and the complaint from the parent was just the last little nudge they needed to replace it with something else. They should have just gotten rid of it on their own. The way it went down has them looking like they caved.

                    So I just played for a couple hours.

                    Seems I'm a Reaper/Hanzo player. Fancy that.

                    My Battle.net name is Fishman #11939 in the Americas region if anyone wants to add me for some sexy funtimes.

                        I fucking adore Smite, and Kali is not scary-looking enough...WHERE THE FUCK IS HER SKIRT OF ARMS?!

                        That is all.

                        Also..I will play the Overwatch Beta.

                          I've still got a key if someone wants one. I think. Dunno how to give it to someone though.

                          Also I've become a filthy Junkrat player.

                            Playing in the beta has proved yet again that I suck at FPS games, still has been fun.

                              I played as a haeler for most of an evening and it's not so bad. Either my random teams were more horrible than the other random teams though or healing isn't as important as I hoped.

                                I think it depends on who you're healing with. Zenyatta's really easy, in my opinion, while Mercy was a bit more difficult since she's a bit more dependent on people being closer to her while Z can range heal with the harmony.

                                  That is what I usually do in games like this. I have to say Bastion is cool in defensive games. I got best player in one of those 🙂

                                    Overwatch is unfortunately not balanced very well.

                                    On some maps and some game modes, Bastion and Torj are complete OP, on others, they are nowhere near as good. Some characters /ultimates/ are mimicked by others timed abilities (Like Widowmakers ultimate).

                                    It's still fun, but a lot of being good at the game is knowing who to use on what maps in what modes.

                                    As for healers, Mercy is the strongest direct healing but the mechanic to switch between support and offense is somewhat clunky. Zenyatta has the second lowest healing (Behind Sym) while Lucio is the best all around with damage, healing, shield support, etc.

                                    On some teams, Lucio's AoE heal as low as it is is perfectly fine, on other teams you need Mercy's more powerful heals. It really just depends a lot.

                                    Overall, the game is fun... unless you get stuck on a team with twits who don't know how to stop the platform/escort, or fight on the objective.

                                      The best teams are when you all pick the same hero.

                                      Last night I went up against a full team of Reinhardts. It was a blast.

                                      Edit:

                                      @Lithium Yes they can be a bit overpowered, but there are good counters to those heroes if you can get past the chokepoint-y bullshit of the maps that favor Bastion and Fire-Midget. Junkrat is pretty good against them. A well-played Tracer -can- do it, but it's not likely. Reaper sometimes.

                                      And the best counter, of course. Genji. That fucking ninja bastard. Pop his deflect ability and watch turrets explode themselves.

                                        Balance issues are to be expected this early on in the game. Such problems are not usually addressed in early development because they're focusing on other things like the servers and code and whatnot. It will undoubtedly be addressed once people get feedback to them and all that.

                                          Wow. I just managed to do almost 5k healing which is so small feat when one is healing as Zenyatta.

                                          And a healer-related peeve: People who are hurt yet run AWAY from the healer. At one point I seriously told my teammate 'Dude, I am so done trying to heal you'.
