Battle net store says

" You can use the Battle.net Shop to purchase or gift Blizzard games, in-game items or game time. "

Although its probably a bitch to find that function

Skipped breakfast this morning to get to play before work. Worth it! So looking forward to new content also

Anyways, I'd like to try this game out as well! Payday tomorrow!

Seeing a lotta comments from people saying it isn't worth the asking price due to lack of content?

I'd personally say its worth the price, I don't find the cosmetic skins and poses to have any real value to the asking price but I'd say the heroes and maps on day one is enough to justify the price tag. Will be even more worthwhile when Competitive mode launches.

It's kind of like the Rocket League of shooters I guess? Once you load into the game you just set up your party, choose a game mode and go. After that you keep getting moved from game to game until you're done playing. According to Blizzard the average game length is between 6 and 9 minutes long (https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/content_fo…63709403948.png) which is great for just picking up and having a quick few rounds with some friends.

I'd say it's worth the asking price. There's plenty of variety with the heroes and the maps (and future heroes and maps will be free) and in the short time I've been playing I've had some wicked close games. I'd expect a lot more close games once everyone learns the heroes better. Competitive should be interesting and it'll be fun trying to unlock everything for all of the classes. I doubt I'll drop any money on it since I'm not too fussed about the cosmetic side of the game. I'll just enjoy looking at everyone elses skins since I never see my own!

ha that part of the map has caused some amazing gameplay D: as a main Lucio player, that area pleases me.

21 heroes and quite a few maps. not sure on exact amount

12 I think from the description on the bnet store (bought my game today, first time in years I believe that I buy a game early, let alone day one)

I am actually a tad disappointed, since there is luggage in Numbani with stickers from most of the locations of the game on it + one of 'The Nile' I thought there would be an extra level before the end of the beta

I was tanking yesterday and NOBODY stood behind me. Everyone just ran in and died. Even mercy. I was like WTF. lol!

I absolutely hate mei, I'm so helpless against her. She's extremely annoying both long and close range [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/uploads/emoticons/default_mapcore_smilies/emot_gonk.gif]
