I have about 500 hours in TF2 (mostly spent as scout and soldier) and have watched quite a bit of competitive play over the years. I prefer Overwatch 100x over. There is just SO much player freedom in how someone can approach playing every character.

So shiny and new? The 21 classes being mentioned as the only selling point, yet again.

To put it more bluntly, it could have the same amount of classes that TF2 has and as long as the characters and maps still had that level of freedom, it would blow TF2 the fuck out.

21 classes? wtf are you talking about, you're just hating for the sake of hating. Overwatch doesn't have any classes, its not wow.

He's trying his hardest to dumb down Overwatch so that he can attack it.

It has classes, sorry to inform you of this.

It totals up to 21 combinations. Are 21 combinations, that's right, CLASSES, all viable and necessary and fit into a place in the game? Or is it just a big gimmick to sell some boxes and give you shiny and new?

Given the nature of how the game is supposed to be played, i.e team balancing by switching heroes mid game depending on where you are on the map and what your enemy team composition is: yes to the former, no to the latter.

No there is 5 categories of characters and there are 21 characters that each have between 4 and 6 abilities that are on timers that make you use strategy on when you use said abilites in a team effort to secure/defend a objective.

a "character" is a class plus a marketable character model/voice

it is very much like a iryd overwatch fan type to retreat into babby semantic arguments tho. keep doin whachu doin rock your own alternative punk style brought to you by hot topic™.

i consider the "class" more the offensive/defensive/support/builder category.

It's a fun game.

Console version went down to $50.00

I played throughout closed beta so I feel that I already got my money's worth many times over.

I guess if you can't afford 40-50 bucks you have other issues to worry about in life.

Of course they're all vital.

The healer character who runs around with a useless gun and passively heals anyone within radius is vital to gamergirl streamers who can't play games. The reaper character with the mask from Dishonored is vital to people who like Bethesda games and Assassin's Creed. Hanzo is vital to "weebs" who play shitty Western games with inferior fanservice. The engineer guy is vital because "it's like TF2 but new and better". And Tracer and her ass animation were absolutely instrumental to the viral marketing campaign.

Do the rest. What's pharah?
