Who's playing Overwatch?

I figure that our shared love of superheros and games means that there have to be some Overwatch players on the forum. Right?

I'll admit that I'm not much of gamer, I got sucked into Overwatch through Blizzard's amazing animated shorts that featured the background lore of the characters. 

I've been playing for a couple of months now and would love to group up with other Sentinels fans. I play on Xbox under the name "ThatLever" if you want to find me.

I’ve played it on my PC but haven’t played much of it since last year.   I really enjoyed playing as Lucio.

Lucio is my favorite support character, he's lots of fun.

My main character is the tank hero Orisia. She's a newer character who was added early this year, a robot centaur who can place static shield walls.

I play a bunch of different things, but my faves are the tanks: Orisia, Reinhardt, and Winston (because who doesn't love a super-intelligent gorilla in a battlesuit?)

For anyone who hasn't seen them, the Overwatch animated shorts and the game's cinematic trailer can be found at: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/media/

They're surprisingly fun and really build up a lot of background lore for a superhero shoot 'em up.  It triggers the same thing that the color text on the SotM cards does for me.  Sentinels is a fun game by itself, but it's the lore behind the game and the relationships of the characters that makes it come alive.

I play on the PC.  My main is McCreenoranger.  But I also play Soldier, Orisa, D.Va and Reaper.  I can play a healer, but I'm not great at it.

I've been meaning to watch all the story stuff for Overwatch for months now, I've been told it is absoutely amazing. Unfortuanetly, I'm really bad at actually doing things these days and I keep putting it off.

Oh yeah, the story stuff for Overwatch is amazing. I was never interested in FPS games, but the story and fanart for the characters drew me in enough to give Overwatch a try on one of their free play weekends, and both my daughter and I quickly got hooked.  Then I showed the videos at https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/media/ to some other friends and got them to try it out too.

I’ve been called out before while playing with friends on TTS.  Something about calling that one Fanatic card that deals damage equal to her max-curent HP her “ultimate.”  Then (because we were playing with Cauldron) making a High Noon joke when I kept giving extra powers to 1929 Tango (whose power deals 3 damage at the start of her next turn, for those not aware- the guy playing her was spreading them out against Dreamer so he was going to kill like 3 projections).

AU where Lucio is Virtuoso of the Void.

EDIT: Btw my battletag is CapnMunch #1487, and it’s a lot easier to aim with Expatriette than it is with Soldier.

I got this game like 2 months ago. played it for a bit, and join my friend when she streams form time to time. I am much better when people tell me what to do. 

 

I play it on PC, I have to find my tag info when I get a chance.
