I've never gotten it work...i've tried but never heard a peep from anyone else, have been using ts3 or discord
I think you may be making a fatal error when playing with Genji. See... Genji doesn't work as well in pub games for one very specific reason: Genji is more of a glass cannon. He does NOT do well going up against a team by himself or even a few players (unless said heroes are weak against Genji). Genji (and arguably Tracer) tends to thrive when your team can take the enemy's attention away from you. It also really helps when your aim is good as Genji's damage is kind of slow and steady, but also very precise. You also need to attack from a distance, which makes it harder.
Of course, if you're Seagull, you can probably ignore what I said about avoiding 1 vs 2+ fights.
EDIT:
Yeah, solo queue is pretty meh. As I mentioned above, I'm not keen on the lack of communication.
Am I the only one joining Team voice chat channel, hearing nothing, and at the end of the match there's apparently 4 or 5 players 'leaving' said channel... but I heard absolutely nothing? Either they've obviously simply said nothing (then why joining the channel to start with?) or there's something wrong on my end. I do click the headphone icon by the way, and voice chat is of course activated and the volume should be alright in the Sounds options.
I think people tend to be rather quiet in the chat channels until someone starts talking. If I see about 3+ people in the team chat channel, I'll normally say something like, "Hey, everyone!" I did that one match, and one guy was so surprised that someone actually used voice chat. Overall, the problem is that people are growing so accustomed to never talking in voice chat that even when presented with the opportunity (if they even know others are there), they don't use it. I mean... I've noticed that there are times that I forget to call out something even though I prefer using voice chat.
When I talk everyone freaks out and abuse me because I'm a girl... i cry everytime its so sad I expect PC gamers to be mature I was wrong. Bunch of 13-16 year old kids. That is why I play midnights bceausee all the kids are in bed sucking there mom tit milk. :twisted:Yeah no one seems to talk on PC. I kinda like how since consoles people are forced to voice chat.

So sad.
Personally, I've had a few females use voice chat on my team and so far, there hasn't been any reaction from teammates about them being female or any kind of abuse.
Overall, Overwatch has been a pretty laid back experience so far. Rarely see someone pissed off about losses and blaming their team. A couple of guys I know from StarCraft asked me to party with them and we wrecked our opponents with a Reinhardt + Mercy + 4 Genjis. Even the opponents were laughing about it and it got me seven votes at end (still don't know what they do). Usually when I kindly ask a teammate to switch a hero to something else, they'll likely do it. Good experience so far.
That reminds me of a game I got into. I was in a 5-man group doing attack on Watchpoint: Gibraltar, and we left spawn to a very interesting enemy group composition: six Mercy. Even after we switched to Pharah, they still stuck with it, which was not a pretty sight for them. During our defense phase, we wanted to mirror that, but the sixth player was being a little ponce. He ended up going Bastion, which kind of ruined it as our enemies went six Zenyatta. I got tired of simply letting the Bastion (who complained about us wanting to mess around with the team that was messing around) hog all the fun, so I went on attack Mercy! My favorite part was probably when I jumped down from the shuttle and pegged the Zenyattas while floating down. Mercy, the Angel of Death!
One match on Defense, we had two guys fighting over McCree, I switch too just for fun (intending to do it just till 1st death). All of a sudden, my whole team consists of McCree. We run to the enemy spawn. I guess they saw us through the doors because they had four McCree's as well when they running out . HIGH NOON. Both teams ended up playing the whole round like that. (We lost).

I am getting so ****ing tired of seeing people parrot that around I'm about to lose it. 21:9 is no more of an advantage over 16:9 as 16:9 is over 4:3. Either EVERYONE should have black bars or NO ONE. Period.
here we go again let the nerds commence!!!Completely incorrect. 16:9 is the standard and has been for years. They aren't going to give the 1% of people with a ultra wide monitor a competitive advantage like that. Dota 2, Sc2, CS GO etc... are all the same way.
If you want competitive 21:9, find a game that supports it and recruit 11 friends to play it with yourselves. If you bought a 21:9 monitor for online multiplayer you made a bad decision.

A week in and already almost burnt out. This game needs to be played with friends. These pick up groups where there is zero communication and people not filling needs gets old REALLY fast.
I got a refund for Overwatch.
From Blizzard? What are their restrictions?
We had a 6 man Soldier 76 pug group on Gibraltar a bit ago. Was fun as hell and we steam rolled the other team. Healing stations and Concussion missiles everywhere.
