Come on boys and girls. Only 4 of us registered on Gamebattles at the moment. We need everyone to get on here if we want to make it happen
I just registered.

This is the kind of thing I was on about - having visibility of who characters are utilised best in which areas and which to pick from.
I know it's a bit basic but for example I'm happy to sit in the section of flanker because two of my preferred mains are in there, plus I'm happy to get better at Tracer and Reaper too.
Alright so here's a slightly more in depth version of what I see as the forms of utility available in OW (one hero can fit under multiple archetypes):
Defensive Ults | Can prevent a wipe or at least counter offensive ults
Fucking Hot Healing Chick!, Zenyatta, Lucio, Moira
CC Ults | Combo with attacking ults or shut down an enemy's push
Mei, Zarya, Reinhardt,
Anti-Flanker | Protects support and vulnerable DPS from flankers
McCree, Soldier, Winston, Symmetra, Torbjorn, Junkrat, Mei, Moira
Flanker | Sow chaos among the enemy support or get picks from afar to make it 6v5
Tracer, Genji, Winston, Widowmaker, Hanzo, Dave's Spirit Animal, Ana, Sombra, Reaper, Zenn's orbs
Protection | Shields the squishies and soaks up major inc. damage/ults
Rein, Winston's bubble, D.Va, Zarya, Orisa,
DPS/Offensive Ults | Melt down shields and kill shit
Tank damage - Reaper, Dave's Spirit Animal, Junkrat, Soldier, Bastion
Hanzo, McCree, Doomfist, Pharah, Genji, Tracer, Torbjorn, D.Va's ult
Don't really have a name for this additional/optional category, but it basically includes characters who change the tempo of the game and allow you to push or recover: Sombra's EMP, Lucio, Ana's boost, Orisa, Symmetra's teleporter
My suggestion is that rather than trying to get proficient with multiple characters in a single category, it's optimal to have 2-3 roles you can fill, so if someone is lighting it up as a flanker one night, you can switch to anti-flank or tank, with no loss of effectiveness

Lolz!!! At least you finally made it here!
If you re-read I said better DPS players need to stick with them. You're assuming you don't fit in that bracket?If you're gonna try placating me with flattery, at least make it believable. Put me on DPS and I've just wasted between 8-20 minutes of your life. 😔😔

Also on that note, just realised I haven't posted on here either.
1. Fucking Hot Healing Chick!
2. Zenyatta
3. Soldier 76
4. Dave's Spirit Animal/Reinhardt
5. McCree/Bastion
6. Mei
Also, in re team comp, the way I look at it is that certain utilities need to be accounted for rather than specific roles. The examples of characters aren't exhaustive:
1. Defensive Ult (zen, Fucking Hot Healing Chick!, lucio)
2. CC Ult (mei, rein, zarya, winston)
3. Anti-flanker (soldier, moira, symmetra, torb, piggie)
4. Flanker (tracer, genji, Winston, reaper)
5. Protection (rein, dva, orisa, zarya)
6. Offensive Ult + DPS (hanzo, reaper, McCree)
This obviously isn't a comprehensive list, but I think that'll give us more flexibility and let people play around with more characters while still bringing utility to the team.

How's your PS4 now?
Sorted. Did a quick (slow AF) reinstall and it's purring like a kitten. My foot's seen better days though...
Thanks for the warm reception all. Looking forward to disappointing you with my questionable tactical decisions and mediocre aim.

Hi all,
I'm Hammy, Rob's rich complexioned brother. I've played R6 and Overwatch with a few of you guys already, and it was suggested I join the forum, so here we are.
My hours are a bit weird because the time zone but I'm usually up for a few rounds most evenings.
