Dem feels when you never get POTG as Lucio but you win the vote at the end:
Exactly. There is no progression in this game. Just fluff and skill.

Well, not discounting the bad ones.
Bet you're glad to have that ice wall blocking that bastion or turret though!
You've got a level, it goes up when you get XP, its explicitly progression, it just has no mechanical impact
How long does that take? 7-10 minutes per game on average? So around 90 minutes per level? (or ~150 hours to prestige)

You're not special. Everyone ults the Mei. I don't fear you, you don't scare me. I will fight you until the very last icicle.
Lets. Fucking. Go.
You are inserting yourself in to a rivalry as old as time
or like a month
That sounds right.
I don't want to spend an hour and a half towards a crate where chances are it's going to be absolute jank for characters I don't use often.

Per level? No. Per reward distribution? Yes.
If you look at comparable titles with similar MT models (Garden Warfare 2, Uncharted 4 or Call of Duty), they offer a lot more cosmetic features across less game time. Overwatch features intentionally elongated progression in an effort to further validate MT.
Yeah, is that a lot? Im genuilly asking, I dont play MP shooters. Like were people "supposed" to have prestiged by now?
Arent you spending a hour and a half playing the game tho? Isnt that the point? Im confused :/

Going up incrementally probably makes more sense actually. I'll give that a shot!
Not having prestige is fine. That should take a while. The problem is the subconscious feedback from unlocking cool things is important to some people, and the game almost makes it painful.

Yep. Your team it's 3 by the enemy spawn, 3 at the point. Their team it's always 6 at the choke or 6 at the point and they fuck you up.
Honestly I dont know, I dont play MP shooters either. Speaking for myself I feel that its a bit too long between loot drops, but thats likely exacerbated by the fact that all I ever get is common shit for characters I play infrequently. By itself the interval may not be too long, but in tandem with the random loot it can feel like no reward at all (of course the main reward is the fun gameplay, but I dont think you can discount the more explicit reward system loot boxes represent).
If they weighted loot boxes results towards the characters you play most frequently I think it would go a long way to alleviating peoples frustration with it. I mean a spray still wont have you jumping for joy but if its for "your guy/gal" it'd likely feel better. They should also have a "mercy" result like Diablo 3/Hearthstone where you get a legendary after x boxes, they should also announce that it exists (in case its already in place).

Prestige in CoD takes like 20ish hours. But prestige happens at like level 50-80 depending on the game.

I have a hero idea for support. A charge beam rifle, that if you hit a friendly player it heals instead of damaging.
I kinda just want the beam rifle. But it could make a support class that is fun for people who don't like the current ones.

Yep, right there with you buddy. Always so satisfying getting a bit of recognition.
She's nigh useless in high tier matches except for stalling for overtime. IIRC Seagull mentioned Winston does what she does much better so she doesn't have a place right now.
Here's hoping she's secret high tier and moves up in ranks as more people play the game and people really start to get good at her. The NA scene underrates Roadhog and apparently the Koreans love him so there's some exchange going on there. Who knows one of these days someone might figure out something dirty with her.
She's good in pubs I guess. But aside from POTG webms for reddit frontpage I haven't really felt her usefulness.
Nah Sombra is shadow and should have 2 shots. One cloaks your ally for 3 seconds (but can still be hurt) and the other blinds an enemy for 3 seconds but does no damage.

How is that different from mercy?
It sounds like a Widowmaker that can snipe teammates for instant heal (with beams instead of bullets).
Well Sombra is rumored to be a support sniper.
I would love for them to remove the movement restriction while firing. Makes it so annoying trying to chase down someone for that last shot.
Added myself to the GAF list.
If anyone else plays from Japan (or near enough that timezone), feel free to add B-Genius (PSN).
Already went ahead and friend requested RexNovis and putarorex.
(I have a Tigrex in my avatar... Noticing a pattern here...)
Granted I only just started using her, but she seems fine. If you're using your boost effectively you'll never need to worry about chasing people down.
Full mobility while firing guns with unlimited ammo that never need to reload seems a bit much...

Ah alright, I thought charge meant like something is constantly on instead of something you charge up.
Ah, I didn't consider that. I've found her to be extremely useful in pub games. Her range of movement is incredible. I've had multiple winning matches with her without a single death thanks to it. Sneak in, distract, fly out when things get hairy.
Oh, and knocking people out of the map. So damn good.
Yeah it's pretty bad when an entire team bails before the vote

PC yes, Console no I think
Beginning to see the pattern of people with the "Fuck Support, fuck Tanks, only Offence or Hanzo" mindset.
Got fucking nowhere on Route 66 because no one picked Support (So I picked Mercy) and then no one picked a Sniper or anyone with shields so they just waltzed out into a lead tornado pretty much straight down the middle.
I don't think the opposition even had to aim.

new cookie cutter meta developing: Double McCree(best offense character on either side), Reinhardt(best Tank for either side), Lucio for best support, Mercy for revives, and sixth spot can be whatever
Getting POTG as Mechless D.Va...
Should I even ask what the other team was doing?
Getting POTG as Mechless D.Va...
A lot of people underestimate mechless D.Va but her pistol does actually a lot of damage, way more than the mech cannons.

Actually posting up a defense too far up could be detrimental to you because the offense spawn is so much closer to the "choke point" you're setting up than the defense spawn. When you kill an attacker, they're back in the fight really quickly, but a defending death means you have to run a lot longer to get back in the fight. Setting up near the objective means your run back as a defender is shorter while the attacker's run back is longer, putting you on more of an even footing.
