The simple bare-bones HUD they use is just perfect IMO. Look at Yoshi's Island, my favorite platformer, and probably the best platformer ever made. You have 0 HUD, there is nothing on-screen except you and the level, and so you get to take in the scenery better, focus more on the level and less on your stats, and you get more immersed as a result. Overwatch is doing the same thing, it removes elements that get in the way of the pure FPS experience.

In higher mmr games you can actually spam the side room on first point nepal (cant remember what the name they gave it after it was randomised) with junkrat and kill all the squishies very very quickly if you get double lucio speed amped over there. Its pretty cheesy but hilarious to get 3 kills before the point is even unlocked | ||

I verbalized my discontent with the game about all that I disliked leading up to the point where I finally was able to play it(specially the tracer butt drama), and after going through the only test that matters, actually playing the game, the result is that I just bought a new gaming rig just for this game, here's to the upcoming hours upon hours that I will spend playing this game once it releases, hoping that many others will enjoy it as well. | ||

I'm gonna play shadow warrior instead. I can be a genji/hanzo wanna be slaying demons in that. Maybe that will tide me over. | ||

Each hero just has a few keys, so one can quickly try them out without having to read a manual. Each hero I played (I only played a couple of them) felt different. Not just "more dps, but less health", each hero has its own gameplay mechanic. During the random team play I constantly thought about good possible hero combinations, while I was indulged in the map design. In the end, Overwatch is a child dream come true: I cannot just watch a hero fight in an animatic, I can play a hero. Blizzard's incredible artists managed to have each hero tell his story just by his/her appearance. You see any Overwatch hero and you can tell where he/she comes and what he/she is about. | ||
