Weekly Role Discussion Thread: Defense - January 20, 2018 Posted: 19 Jan 2018 09:07 PM PST In this weekly thread you can discuss the Defense roles of Overwatch to your heart's delight. What are the characteristics of those heroes? The main objective of the defense role is to guard locations, create choke points, and establish a front. They may have long range weapons or the ability to create turrets, and excel at area denial. — Overwatch Wikia You can find a list of the current defensive heroes on the Overwatch Hero Overview. Share guides and strategies that are valuable to a defensive Overwatch Hero or other tips and tricks that helped you to get better. You can also propose ideas why a certain hero is bad in your eyes and how to make it better. Please do so in a constructive way! submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments]

Husband got me into OW, doesn’t appreciate my enthusiasm. Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:35 PM PST So, my husband talked me into playing and I now love Overwatch! I love it so much I try to integrate it into our everyday lives, however, he doesn't appreciate my efforts. Example: He didn't appreciate me running into the kitchen yelling "Justice rains from above" and throwing a handful of push pins at him. He also didn't enjoy me wrapping scotch tape covertly around his belt loop, holding the role and following him through the house saying "Healing stream engaged, I got you" And, last but not least, I am not to yell in his face "Hero's never die!" While he is sleeping to wake him up. submitted by /u/mishaday110 [link] [comments]

This is the handicap I have to deal with most matches. Posted: 20 Jan 2018 09:34 AM PST New kitten who just discovered the joy of Overwatch. She's not a big Genji fan but she appreciates a good potg. https://imgur.com/a/zltQs submitted by /u/pinkiepieisbestpony [link] [comments]

Problem with the Widowmaker's OWL skins Posted: 20 Jan 2018 05:15 AM PST So OWL skins do something i think it's really cool, they change the color of the mine. The problem is that if you have a OWL skin the enemy team will see the mine the same color as your team. (yesterday i was playing with a enemy widow with The Valiants skin and i triggered the mine because i thought it was from my Widow) Sorry if i have errors, english is not my mother tongue submitted by /u/Tainted18 [link] [comments]

Let's go Reinhardt you're our only hope!! Posted: 20 Jan 2018 05:20 AM PST submitted by /u/DoctorKynes [link] [comments]

instead of only having the (group up) button we should have a (fall back) button as well Posted: 20 Jan 2018 05:25 AM PST pretty self explanatory, we've all had this experience were the team keeps dying in intervals and keep attacking the objective in two's, threes or alone and they keep spamming the group up button only when they die but the group that respawned earlier are the same moths that keep heading to the flame. so it might be helpful to have a fall back button not only for this situation but also to tell the team to retreat when the odds are against you and keep praying they group up/fall back submitted by /u/sombrero69 [link] [comments]
