My name is: Merc.
Been playing since December of last year.
I main Roadhog and Junkrat.
I like both characters due to personality and gameplay.
It’s a tie between Reaper (his DPS tends to be annoying as #@£÷ even if he’s my 3rd most played) and Hanzo (450 dmg in an ability with a somewhat low CD and a seemingly bland character/lore).
I love Junkertown (Aesthetically) and Dorado (Gameplay).
My favorite skins are BajieHog and OutlawsRat.
I just use the forums to kill time.

Hi, my name is RavageDionne, I’ve been playing since about a month and a half after release. OW was my first FPS and I’m a Reaper/Rein main who’s been branching out to Zenyatta as a preferred support lately.
I originally picked up Rein and Reaper because my rig was a little potato and it was easier to aim, plus Reinhardt’s personality clicks with me. I’ve upgraded since then and I can play just about anything now to varying degrees. I picked up Zen recently because he’s just one of the most solid off-supports, and I don’t see it changing any time soon barring his right clicks possibly getting a small damage nerf.
My least favorite hero has to be Sym and Junkrat. Sym because her kit has very little synergy with basically the entire roster, and I just hate Junkrat’s playstyle.
My favorite map is easily Route 66, I just enjoy the western theme, but I’m partial to Kings Row as well.
My favorite skin is Shiver for Reaper. Edgy af, and I use the forums mainly to see how the community is viewing the game as a whole.

I’m also a living meme, you see, as I’m a gold player with a silver border, probably going to get my next star sometime in the future.

Hi! I’m Kokichi! I’m a 19 year old college student. (Seems to be a trend here :3)
I’ve been playing for a month or two now. (I’ve really been enjoying the experience so far :eyes: )
As for mains, I kinda enjoy playing Sombra and Ana, but I wouldn’t say I have an actual main yet!
My least favourite hero is D.va. (Sorry D.va ;w; )
My favourite skin is the Kabuki Hanzo.
And my favourite map is King’s Row!
I love the forums, I really dig the sense of community here!

-I am TDS462.
-I’ve been playing this game since 2016 where I started on PS4, moved to PC around early-mid 2017.
-I main two drastically different heroes, Rein, and Genji.
-I main Rein due to the enjoyment I find in tanking (and smashing enemies with a hammer/axe), and when you have a team that supports you, it makes playing him all the more fun since it opens up different play styles than shieldbot. I main Genji due to the fast paced play style.
-My least favorite hero to play against would probably be Junkrat. As characters themselves, I actually enjoy all of them to play, and want to up my playtime of them all.
-King’s Row would be my favorite map.
-Genji Baihu
-To find information, art, other stuff, and the like from devs, and community.

  • Hey guys, I’m dad and I’m a 211 yo college student

  • Started playing right when the Summer Games 2017 ended rip

  • I main Mercy and trying to play more of Moira

  • Cause I love Mercy’s mobility and her whole angel-like persona. Moira kinda reminds me of a mage with her oversized sleeves.

  • yeah probably junkrat

  • Don’t slap me, but I love Temple of Anubis

  • It’s kind of a tie between Moira’s Oasis skin, Symmetra’s Dragon skin and Mercy’s Winged Victory

  • Catch up on the new stuff and check if RichC posted anyhting

Who are you?
Name’s Chappy, has been for over a decade. There are people from college who didn’t find out my real name for months. 26 year old college grad who majored in Game Dev.

How long have you played for?:
Since the open Beta

Who do you main?
Rein and Zen are my two most played and the two heroes I’ve like the most since the start. As secondary mains, I really like Orisa, Sombra and Moira.

Why do you main them?
I generally love both their gameplay and their design. I really love being the wall between my team and the enemy.

Who’s your least favorite hero?
I don’t want to start a fight or discussion but Genji probably. I don’t dislike Genji, but I hate playing against even semi-competant ones since his kit is a bit overloaded and that makes fighting a good one unfun IN MY OPINION! Again, not wanting to start a discussion in this thread.

What’s your favorite map?
Any of the night maps but leaning more towards King’s Row

What’s your favorite skin?
Cultist Zenyatta for sure

Why do you use the forums?

  • I’m Rico, a 49-year-old web developer at a UK university

  • I like healing and playing support.
  • least favourite are all the ones I’m rubbish with; Genji, Tracer, McRee… The ones that need aiming and twitch skills. (See part 1 about being 49 years old :wink: )
  • King’s Row
  • favourite skin… Hmm, tough one. I’ll go with Tripitaka I think
  • I’m addicted to the Internet and I like the interaction :smiley:

Why do you use the forums?

I like to read what others have on their mind. Personally I don’t make post unless it’s addressing a bug I discovered or mentioning something that bothers me which is rare. It is also fun to interact with some others and see their viewpoints on multiple aspects of the game

Who are you?

Butterfarts

How long have you played for?

Started in June 2016, mostly because I had a day off and pizza was on the way.

Who do you main?

D.Va, Moria/Lucio, 76. Every other characters preformance drops.

Why do you main them?

D.Va is fun because I like to be aggressive and bully the supports. Moira is fun because she has tools to heal and avoid being bullied. Lucio is Lucio. And solider 76 is just your basic run and gun, plus i like the old man snark.

Who’s your least favorite hero?

Hanzo and Genji. I don’t hate them or anything, but the stray arrow one shots when he shoots into a crowd is annoying. Genji has a double jump and that makes me jealous on a very personal level.

What’s your favorite map?

I love of Nepal’s maps.

What’s your favorite skin?

Anniversary D.Va daddio

Why do you use the forums?

Just to see what’s going on. Lurk more than anything. I try to find fun threads to kill time in (like this one) or read up on ideas, play styles, and just standard strats.
