Blizzard has always been Purple = Epic, Orange = Legendary/Unique.

Although White = Common, Blue = Magic and Yellow = Rare was used in previous games. Oh well :)

I had no idea. I guess this is kinda my first Blizzard game, although I also own Diablo, I haven't had much time in it.
 
How does the ping affect gameplay on this game? Not too much?

Past few pages have been discussed relating to this. The short of it, little to none. Though don't expect the same results with a 500ms+ ping, obviously. But within our range of 200ms to 300ms we experience very little noticeability.
 
bro as the game gets more popular I have noticed more people not wanting to play as a team, like almost every game I have to go tank or healer because no one else wants to :( but other then that 2 tanks are so strong in this patch

Surely this will change come competitive play mode?

Yeah, a LOT of randoms don't get the dynamic of it all. So they'll be hard countered by the other team, and still stick to their heroes. -_-

Yeah definitely I cant wait at least you will play with people on your skill level hopefully

Thats the other thing people hit a block and just stick with the same heroes, its like hitting your head into a wall and expecting different results :p

Sorry bud, didn't have much time to play and was in a fairly good game when the invite came through. Though I only played like a round or two. Game time has been limited of late.

I watched a bit of your game, you guys took A site within seconds but were struggling on B
 
I see that there is a major issue with latency affecting the game. I noticed last night that my ping hovered around 230-240ms which is higher than normal for connecting to Europe (I usually get around 180-190ms). When I played the Beta I didn't notice any latency but I could definitely feel it while playing last night.

I see on the Overwatch forum there's a thread on this problem. There's issues with how Blizzard is routing traffic and it seems that at some point data is going via the US before reaching the server. Apparently using a VPN or routing service (WTF fast or Tunnelbear etc.) helps resolve the issue but isn't really a viable option as you have to pay monthly for the service. Are you guys just putting up with the lag or have you got your own solutions?
