I had the chance to play this for a few rounds tonight. It’s actually a lot of fun. It’s early now and maybe people haven’t figured out ROFLStomp builds yet but it was a good time. This game is 95% Overwatch with 5% Smite added in. The characters are almost a complete copy of Overwatch. I think they might have more though. They had the Shield guy, the junkrat clone and the turret guy.
Also, the game mode is pretty much the same. Starts with one cap point. Whoever wins that gets to escort the payload to the enemies base. There is no attack or defense rounds. That’s determined by whoever caps the first point.
What is different is the Smite customization. While there is a lot of options to customize your player throughout the game it’'s not as in depth or as complicated as Smite. Which is a good thing. I think they found a good sweet spot. During the game you earn money which you can use to buy perks or abilities. There is also tiers to those perks. I’m sure the neckbeards will be creating builds for the game.
Overall, I’ll have to say I enjoyed it. If you can get a key give it a try. Download is only like 6GB. The games are fast and fun. I found a character I liked right off the bat. I’m looking forward to playing this more.

That would be inline with all the previous Ps4 staff members.
Get this game on Sexbox. I’m really digging it. Played some more today and it’s a ton of fun. Maybe I miss Overwatch? I don’t know.
Wow what a dick.

A bunch of champion guids, in all caps of course. Going to try some out later.
I wish we could get a squad running. I played a bunch of rounds last night and got stuck on teams that were allergic to the objective. Seriously, none would actually try to cap the first objective. Even if we made it to sudden death (which they need to better inform people that it’s the final round). In sudden death all you need to do is just cap the point. That’s it. My team went everywhere BUT the circle. It was awesome.

I played this quite a bit in the PC beta before they changed everything. I got into the Xbox beta a few months ago but have only played it a handful of times. I need to give it a shot again.
I took your word for it Lala and got this game I am going to give it a go tonight.

That Fernando Skin looks pretty cool. Plus they added a new Champion, Lex. Haven’t had the chance to play as him yet.
So I picked this game up on a whim. Got a couple of games in. Pretty fun. After watching a few videos of it and the game only being 20 bucks I figured “why not”. We should get a squad going one night.

I like playing Grover whom I keep calling Groot. I’m trying to learn with him for now.
I haven’t played a healer yet even though one is needed. I usually run one of the damage guys because who doesn’t like shooting shit. Although lately I’ve been running tank and when I do our team usually wins. I’ve seen a lot of random teams without a tank. It’s crazy.
For tank I’ve been using Fernando. He’s a Reinhardt rip off. He does well in the beginning but it get’s tough when the enemy team starts equipping Wrecker. Eats my shield up quickly.
This is the build I use:

Two good Damage dealers that are pretty much CoD type styles are Viktor and Tyra. I prefer Tyra a bit more myselft.
I use this build for Tyra:

I use this build for Viktor:

Another DPS champion I like is Cassie but can’t play her often. You really need a proper team set up and people actually playing objectives. Which is rare in public matches. You need some distance to play as Cassie.
I use this build but may change it.
Finally, I try to play as Skye when I can. She’s ridiculously good and maybe a bit OP, which is why she’s never available. She’s a flank and fast as all fuck. Then there’s the unreal damage she does with her main weapon. It’s so retardedly powerful.
This is the build I use for Skye:

Don’t listen to Lala just randomly build what you like.
