Who are you?

Chaxinitus, 23, billing speciliast for a trucking agency

How long have you played for?

Don’t remember off hand when I got it, but it was just before Ana dropped I believe. I know it was when D.va would still die to her own nerf.

Who do you main?

Depends on the day and the team comp. In terms of fun/need DPS, Junkrat or Hanzo, if we need a healer, usually Lucio, tank? I can be a decent Rein.

Why do you main them?

Either fun factor or how I feel most effective. I can put out a lot of damage and be pretty accurate as hanzo/junkrat, I can heal pretty well and stay alive a while as lucio, and I can feel how much damage I block as rein more than I do with other tanks (Though if we need pure HP more than barrier, Roadhog is an easy second choice)

Who’s your least favorite hero?

To play as probably Orisa or Sombra, I just never feel effective playing as them. To play AGAINST, same ones really. I hate losing abilities, it doesn’t feel “nice” I guess, so hacking frustrates me, Orisa’s gravball has always felt janky to get hit by. I don’t mind the effect at all, but I used to play on 1k ping internet and it feels similar to the rubberbanding on that.

What’s your favorite map?

QP/Comp: King’s Row, this one feels the most skill-based and balanced with no lean toward attack/defend IMO

Deathmatch: Eichenwalde. Something for everyone here, Boopers can boop, reins can rein, lotta tight corridors for scatter arrow spammers Hanzo mains and junkrats.

What’s your favorite skin?

Probably good ol’ Buck Bumble Lucio or Jazzy. I used to play Lucio with the Buck Bumble Theme 10 hours playing.

Why do you use the forums?

Dev Commentary, Community Commentary, Seeing any updates in terms of how characters might change (Hanzo Volley).

:heart: Thanks for reading a massive text wall ya lovely dorks :heart:

Fun

Since a few weeks after launch day

Ana, but I often play every healer and tank

I love her playstyle

Doomfist

King’s Row

Cultist(The Cthulhu Zen Skin)

I want to talk about the game

336

Hello there (General Kenobi),

I am Bendubz11, I’m 21, and I play on Xbox.
My other account, TORBRBRBrbrbrb, is named after the now infamous quote, and unsurprisingly is a Torb OT account, though I got bored of OTing before level 25 so now I just use it for the rare meme post.
I first started playing in early October last year, just before the Halloween event.
As I said my other account is a Torb OT, but on this one I take great joy in flexing. S7 my most played was Zen and this season it’s Orisa, but Torb, Sombra, Moira, Rein, Pharah and Soldier all get regular play too.
In short, I flex so much that Baymax, I mean Orisa, looks up to me.
My least favourite character is probably Bastion, he just doesn’t interest me to play, though lore wise I love him.
My favourite map is definitely Ilios Well, but I really dislike Ilios Lighthouse.
There’s no doubt what my favourite skin is:Totally 80s will always reign supreme, and the moment it becomes available again I will be buying it

I use the forums for multiple reasons. Memes, Balancing, seeing what the Devs say, but most of all because of all the great people who regularly post. Y’all awesome <3

337

Who are you?
I am Catbus.

How long have you played for?
One year, seven months—since roughly a month after the game came out, I believe.

Who do you main?
I don’t main. I don’t believe in it. I’ve made it a point to try to achieve a basic level of competence on every hero, something I think more players should do.

That being said, I have the most hours on Lúcio, and aside from him, I’m best with Symmetra, Torbjörn and D.Va.

Why do you main them?
I like playing Lúcio on KotH maps (except Oasis) for the speed advantage and because they offer many opportunities for boop kills. I play Symm and Torb on defense on specific maps, because I have systems for where I place my turrets and teleporters. And I play D.Va because I like the “bully tank” role (see also: Winston).

Who’s your least favorite hero?
The hero I enjoy playing the least is Mei. The heroes I’m worst at are Mei, Widowmaker and Genji. (I used to include Hanzo and Tracer in this list, but I’m finally starting to get somewhere with them.)

What’s your favorite map?
Ilios! Boop!

What’s your favorite skin?
Sanzang Zenyatta.

Why do you use the forums?
A feeble crusade to bring enlightenment to a player base determined to ignore the fact that Overwatch is a game of teamwork and strategy.

338

Who are you?
I’m Me. :stuck_out_tongue:

How long have you played for?
Dec 24, 2016

Who do you main?
Lucio

Why do you main them?
No one takes support. Plus i think it is fun.

Who’s your least favorite hero?
Widowmaker.

What’s your favorite map?
King’s Row/Watchpoint: Gibraltar/Numbani - Basically most Payload & Hybrid maps

What’s your favorite skin?
Mercy witch.

Why do you use the forums?
To waste time.

Vixyfox on PC & PS4, and Vixyfoxchan on Xbox!

How long have you played for?

November 2016

Who do you main?

I main mostly healers. Zenyatta, Moira, and (begrudgingly for a while in comp) Mercy.

Why do you main them?

I love healing! It makes me feel like I’m really contributing to the game when I can keep someone alive during a team fight. It can be thankless sometimes but for the most part it’s great!

Who’s your least favorite hero?

I really don’t like Torbjörn. I’m not a big fan of Bastian either.

What’s your favorite map?

King’s Row by far! But I also love Oasis, Junkertown, and Blizzard World. Really, the only map I don’t like is Horizon Lunar Colony.

What’s your favorite skin?

This is a really hard question because I love so many but…I’m going to have to go with Zenyatta’s Sanzang AKA Handsome Zenyatta.

Why do you use the forums?

I like to see different people’s opinions about different topics. It makes me see things in a different light sometimes. It’s also a great place to get advice on playing new characters or learning new techniques.

Who are you?
Golo, by my internet persona. 24 and gay af (we’re suppose to add a fun fact about ourselves here, right?)

How long have you played for?
Ummm, not long after launch, not entirely sure but quite a while.

Who do you main?
I try to play a variety of character’s (I have at least 5 hours in everyone), but I guess I technically main Mercy since I have most hours in her.

Why do you main them?
Since I main her on a technical standpoint, I don’t know how to answer this.

Who’s your least favorite hero?
Is scatter arrow an option?

To play, Probably doomfist, I can’t get the hang of him, plus I feel he is under powered.

What’s your favorite map?
I like german castle (I can’t spell echenwdlkfhuaio). Blizzard world is neat to just for the fact you can tell they had fun making it.

What’s your favorite skin?
There’s a few I really like, Witch Mercy, Cultist Zen, Rudolph Roadhog

Why do you use the forums?
I’m a salty SoB

342

Matt, 25 years old, have a Bachelor’s in chemical engineering and going for Masters in physics

How long have you played for?
Since June 2016

Who do you main?
Mercy and Reaper

Why do you main them?
Mercy: I really enjoyed playing Medic in TF2 and she plays similar to him. I generally prefer support roles in general.

Reaper: This one surprised me. I didn’t like him at all when I started playing OW but when I started testing him out I found out I wasn’t too bad with him. He’s got a teleport, an escape, high damage up close, and self-healing. I like all these aspects.

Who’s your least favorite hero?
My least favorite hero is whoever is currently countering my hero choice.
I don’t like playing Hanzo because I can’t aim with him.

What’s your favorite map?
Eichenwald probably. Though being on attack can be very frustrating if you cannot break through the defenses.

What’s your favorite skin?
Witch Mercy is everything I ever wanted

Why do you use the forums?
To keep up with updates, see what people think of major changes/happenings, to wrestle with Jeff

Gotta be Nepal, all three of them.
What’s your favorite skin?
Im in love with the Witch Mercy skin.
Why do you use the forums?
I dont, this is my first post.

346

I really don’t think it’s Bungie’s fault though. All the micro transactions and the split up DLC came from, guess who, Activision. But I do think the quality of the DLC dropped over time. It’s a shame to. Destiny was great between the HOW and the TK expansions.

How long have you played for?
Since September 2017.

Who do you main?
Junkrat!

Why do you main them?
I always liked him design-wise when my boyfriend started playing (he bought the game on the first day). More than a year passed since then and when I bought the game I started with Sombra, but had a really hard time since it was my first FPS and I had no idea what I was doing… so I decided to try Junkrat since I already liked him and had more sucess. He’s very fun to play with, my boyfriend thought I was gonna be a Hanzo main because I’m an archer in real life but actually Junkrat’s grenades are way more similar in trajectory to my bow’s type so I have that in my favor. :bow_and_arrow:

Who’s your least favorite hero?
I like them all, but I don’t enjoy playing Rein, Zenyatta and Doomfist much. :c

What’s your favorite map?
Ilios and Lijiang tower gameplay-wise, but Eichenwalde, Temple of Anubis, Kings Row and Route 66 are the prettiest.

What’s your favorite skin?
Cricket (Junkrat), Los Muertos (Sombra), Asp/Quinlong (Pharah), Snow Owl (Ana), and Nevermore/Plague doctor (Reaper). I love birds :bird:

Why do you use the forums?
I’m curious to read about other people opinions on things, I was mostly a lurker on the old forums but I hope to change that this time. :3

My name is Unholy and I’m a 17 year old high school student.

Why do I main them?
I really like the play style of both characters and I couldn’t choose just one of them.

I’d have to say Reinhardt or Mei. Hear me out, I don’t like the way Rein plays and I just don’t like playing Mei.
Favorite Map?
Easily Hanamura, its such a beautiful map.

Blackwatch Genji.

Since the first post-blizzcon closed beta wave
Who do you main?
Supports/Tanks (specifically Lucion, Moira, Mercy, D. Va, Orisa)
Why do you main them?
because no one else will! Seriously though, I enjoy the challenge that those roles bring to a match…kind of a “they can’t live without you” motivation.
Who’s your least favorite hero?
Sombra - I just can’t get a grasp on her
What’s your favorite map?
Kings Row
What’s your favorite skin?
This changes over time of course, but i’d have to say overall, D. Va’s Carbon Fiber skin.
Why do you use the forums?
I utilize the forums in my completely futile quest to bring logic and reason to most of the topics covered here. There are so many misinformed posters, as well as way too many people who just post as a knee-jerk reaction to something they take no time at all to actually think about.

355

-Lynne, but most people just say ‘V’ or ‘Vil’ cause of my screen name
-Been playing since May 2016 launch
-Technically I main Junkrat but I also main support in general
-Junkrat was just a fun character and he reminded me of TF2’s demo man who I adored playing, as for Support maining I like feeling and being helpful I suppose.
-Least favorite to play would be Widow, I’m horrible at her. To play against, I really hate a good Tracer. I adore the character in general but hate being against a good one.
-Favorite map has to be Eichenwald.
-Favorite Skin…that’s tough for me, probably Barbarian Zarya or Cruiser Dva

  • I use the forums to kinda be on the up and up. I play on Console so in some ways and play styles it’s a totally different world. I really like going to the PTR forums, we don’t have the option of a PTR so it kind of prepares me for what I’ll be dealing with or seeing before we get that surprise update notification on PS4.
