    Well, they are getting near TF2 in terms of sillyness, that's for sure. :lol

    I'm really hoping Sombra ends up being a melee based assassin type character. Kind of like the TF2 Spy.

    I'm looking for a new laptop for general laptop needs, and one of these needs is if it can play Overwatch (just Overwatch I like my miserable game boxes and paying for online for them), I went into a store and they said that these two might do it, are they right? Or rather are these good enough?
    Buy HP Pavilion x360 15-bk060sa 15.6" 2 in 1 - Red | Free Delivery | Currys (When I was in the store this had a sign that said 8gb RAM)

    They're pretty wrong. 2.1Ghz dual core is pretty low powered, and no graphics card is listed at all. Overwatch isn't the most demanding game, but I doubt you'll even get decent FPS on low on a laptop that has that little power.

    It's pretty fun not being familiar with a map. Just got lost wandering in the castle for a couple minutes after respawn.

    Had plenty of credits saved up, got D.Va's Junker skin, Game On emote, Zenyatta meditate emote, Reinhardt new skin and Genji's laugh emote. Glad competitive is back, got 3 wins down already. Love it so much.

    Also there's a free play weekend for consoles soon, so if anyone who plays on console has any friends that they want to try it, that would be the time.

    walk away. I used to work at these shops a few years ago and they do zero training beyond what you could just goggle yourself. If your lucky one guy in the store might play games... maybe. 99% of the time they just want you to buy whatever is on the end cap and they will want you to get the warranty.

    this is the lowest I would go if I had to play it on a lap top.

    The post is a bit old and I hope he didn't waste money buying those two HPs.

    Anyway I though the skins could have been a lot better. Some of the Heroes of the Storm skins were done better and they are just tiny on screen maybe when I get around to playing with them will my mind change but come on Werewolf Winston should have been an obvious one.

    And watch out winter is just around the corner and we are going to be getting another batch of skins, emotes and sprays to collect...
