Yeah enjoying learning some new heroes, still find myself using the simpler ones.  I think I need to understand how to use the healers more and be a bit less aggressive

Lucio is relatively easy as a healer in my very limited experience.

He's fast on his feet so quite hard to hit.
Does an area heal so you don't have to specifically target team members, just stay close to them.
He has a heal boost that again is AOE. Your team mates have a big red cross on them when they are low on health so it's a matter of getting close and and hitting 'E'
He can do a knockback which can punt players off edges or get distance so you can escape.
His Ultimate is a 500 point shield in a 30m radius lasting about 6 seconds, which again is AOE and not targeted. The idea (which I often miss) is to use it to counter an enemies Ult or in the last moments of a round when you know the enemy is about to make a final push on the objective.

There are players that can play him very well but he's a nice character to start with. Downsides are he's not very strong, his dps is low and you do get targeted by the enemy a lot being a support class.

Another good nights play, thanks guys.

A lot of Overwatch is not just learning how to mechanically play your hero, but how to play them within the 'environment' of each game. This depends on not only what your enemy team do, but what your team are doing too. As you start to get more and more into the game, there is an awful lot of strategy that starts to open up.

I would advise watching some YouTube vids, there is a huge community to the game and there are many, many great vids that can help you get to grasps with more than just the mechanics.

For example, I have just started to try to learn Reinheardt. Mechanically he is simple. Shield, hammer, and so on. There isn't really much aiming to be done. That said, a good rein can carry and support teams.. bad reins lose games single handedly! The question with Rein is more of 'what is my role here, what should I be doing right now to support my team'. This last bit is hard to master, as at times your team needs your shield, at times they need you swinging, and at others they need you to initiate.. or even run away! He is much more about gamesense and knowing your role within the game.

Anywho, I can't make this week as I am at work, but some of your lovely admins will be around heading up games :boxing:

Thanks for joining us today for the games guys

There were teething problems on my end with the stream... my PC was struggling with it xD

I will sort these and be back to streaming ASAP.

I will keep you guys updated when I will be streaming. Will stream some comp games soon too!

I'm sure, for me, it had nothing to do with Twitch. but I had some issues as well and eventually completely lost connection to everything. I suspect it was a problem at my end though.

Good fun for the brief time I was on, cheers

[Chaosphere]

Aye, the game servers didn't seem to be having issues, I think my problems too were all my end!

[Chaosphere]
