Hey. I’m Xian396. Been playing since after a month of the original release, so I’m fairly ‘old.’

I used to main D.Va, Symmetra, and Mercy all balanced out, but I’ve been borderline onetricking Mercy since I hafta solo-heal all the time :slight_smile: also I tend to switch to Mercy even if we already have 2 healers if I feel that we aren’t getting healed enough or my team is receiving too much damage :frowning:

I don’t have least favorite hero, I love them all :smile: though, if I had to pick one I’d say roadhog, I just suck at landing his hook hahaha

I love King’s Row. So many vantage points. I also like the poppy colors of BlizzWorld. And contrary to popular opinion, I like horizon. Nice place to play widow on defense.

I’m biased to everything Greco-Roman aesthetics. So Winged Victory.
I started to use the forums due my curiosity on the Mercy Rework back when it was announced. Now, I’m here as an escapism from my responsibilities :blush:

-I main the off-tanks (Zarya, D.Va, Roadhog), although I can play Zen I have been interested in picking up Ana too
-I main the off-tanks because I really enjoy being in the frontline without potentially making the mistake of overextending
-My least favorite hero is Hanzo (stupid scatter arrow .-.), but the thoughts of his rework going about are nice to hear about
-My favorite map is King’s Row (honorable mention though to Eichenwalde)
-My favorite skin is Black Cat D.Va (Xuanwu Zarya gets an honorable mention here though)
-I use the forums because I like to see the things that people make within the community.

Who are you?

Sutekh, and I work in IT management.

How long have you played for?

Fairly consistently since the first month of release, though I have had a few brief breaks.

Who do you main?

I can play about half the roster effectively, but I guess you could say my “mains” are D.Va, Moira, Zenyatta and Orisa. I can play basically any Tank or Support , but I am good with Soldier, as well. I am out of practice with Tracer, but I think I can pick her back up in short order.

Why do you main them?

They are fun, and I am very good with them. :grinning:

Who’s your least favorite hero?

Hanzo. I will be glad to see Scatter Arrow go, both because I no longer need to die to it, but because Hanzo teammates should be more consistent.

What’s your favorite map?

King’s Row, but I actually like Watchpoint: Gibraltar and Eichenwalde quit a bit, too. I like Blizzard World for its aesthetics and references but need more time playing the map before I label it a favorite.

What’s your favorite skin?

There are so many excellent skins, especially now, but the top of my “Never change” category is Mercy’s Winged Victory. That is such a unique skin that fits her perfectly, and I don’t really even play her!

Why do you use the forums?

I like to discuss Overwatch with other players as long as the discussions are civil and constructive. I am hoping the revamped forums will help encourage this in the future and am looking forward to it!

How long have you played for?
I’ve played for nearing 400 hours and since early December 2016
Who do you main?
Moira and Reinhardt at present, poor Lucio was kicked to the curb for me recently thx to Moira outshining him lol, not that I’m complaining!
Why do you main them?
Because Moira isn’t dead weight and an easy kill to flankers, with an accessible skill floor and reasonable skill ceiling, and a level of balance imo that hasn’t been matched for a new hero’s launch before her. I main Rein because he was my first golden weapon and first love; I LOVED the sound design and gameplay of bringing a huge rocket hammer to a gunfight and WINNING.
Who’s your least favorite hero?
Probably Hanzo because of Scatter, but lucky me thats gonna be looked at.
What’s your favorite map?
Blizzard World! SOOO MUCH COLOR.
What’s your favorite skin?
Smooooooooooooth Jazzy Luciioooo!
Why do you use the forums?
To get my opinion out there, and see how the community is reacting to news. Specifically how they’re talking about Moira - I’m getting her golden guns soon but I’m afraid all the complaints are gonna nerf her into the floor.

Starting off the forums with positivity!

Who are you?
Hi I’m LockerNo2 because apparently # is not allowed in the name

How long have you played for?
I’ve played since 2016 Christmas, bought the game for myself as a present

Who do you main?
Reaper. 210 hrs so far, not even 50 hrs on the next hero

Why do you main them?
Because I can’t aim long ranges. I have hand tremors (pretty rare for someone under 20, but I do have them) so I can’t hold my mouse still. Also, close quarters brawls are just so cool and exciting

Who’s your least favorite hero?
Hanzo, purely due to scatter. Other than that? Genji, because of how bias the devs are to him

What’s your favorite map?
Temple of Anubis or Kings row.

What’s your favorite skin?
Shiver Reaper, but i also like most of the event Tracer skins

Why do you use the forums?
So i can talk to people. I was in a debate team once so I love arguing with others, especially if both parties are rationale

Why do you main them?
In every game I’ve ever played, I always went for the Melee Tank. Something about protecting my friends (and beating my enemies with a hammer) just does it for me!
Who’s your least favorite hero?
Is it a cop out if I say I don’t have one because I like all of the heroes? If I had to pick I’d say I’ve never liked engineer/builder heroes in any game, and this game is really no different. Not a fan of Torb and Symm, but I still think they’re cool.
What’s your favorite map?
Eichenwalde by far.

  1. Hi I’m Leo, a 22 y/o plant lover.
  2. I’ve played since Aug 2017, so less than a year :astonished:
  3. My main is Mercy b/c I love to play support but I like to have a main from each category so my mains are:
  • Offense: Tracer
  • Defense: Mei
  • Tank: Orisa
  • Support: Mercy (Obvi)
  1. Mercy is my main b/c is the most healer-y healer in the game.
  2. My least favorite hero is Genji, just b/c I’m bad at using him.
  3. My Favorite map is Ayutthaya b/c its so beautiful with such luscious plant life.
  4. My favorite skin is one I don’t have yet :disappointed_relieved: : Combat Medic Ziegler
  5. The forums is the best way to keep up with what is going on with the game.

  • I’m Jake, 18 y/o 1st year University Music Technology student.
  • I’ve played Overwatch since closed beta.
  • I’m a Mei main, currently ranked among the top 100 Mei players globally.
  • I main Mei because there’s something so satisfying about chasing people down and freezing them, then staring them coldly and blankly in the face as you press an icicle through their forehead while they’re completely helpless to save themselves.
  • I loathe Junkrat, and Doomfist, to me this pair is the epitome of poor hero design.
  • My favourite map is King’s Row, since every hero has some form of viability on the map, and each section of the map encourages team comps to be changed to account for the difference in layout.
  • My favourite skin is Ecopoint Antarctica for Mei.
  • I use the forums mainly to discuss balance changes.

Hi there I’m Slippy the Frog, and I’m the real star of StarFox saga.

I’m a Winston main, because he’s a non-human bad@$$ just like me.

My favorite skin is scuba Winston (the black one).

I’m here to chew bubblegum and talk about stuff, and I have a whole lot of bubblegum.
