I'd make Soldier a ranger and Reinhardt a fighter.

Have you tried playing a system, if not a dozen other systems, that can actually replicate their abilities and setting properly?

Of course if this is just what'd "they play", then its not too unbelievable.

Monks don't heal

>When fictional characters play a game, they just play a different universe version of themselves
I fucking hate it when people do this shit.
It's fucking one-dimensional as fuck.

Genji attempting to roleplay a Paladin, or Reinhart a Rogue would be so much more fucking interesting than just "me, but in a fantasy world".

I, on the other hand, love it when they do that.

It's like watching someone innocently write their first self-insert fanfiction. Just adorable.

A mixture would probably be best.

Perhaps someone like Tracer just wants to play herself, while Torbjorn (who's obviously a wargamer, and brought his own miniature) gruffly complains she's being uninspired, while Winston GMs and Zenyatta sits there trying to help while avoiding getting his head bitten off.

>Starts off as a psuedo-parody, starts getting into it

>Everyone awkwardly realizes she has a thing for Widowmaker.

>Reinhart a Rogue
TOO SUBTLE FOR YOU

ALSO, I AGREE WITH YOU.

>Genji attempting to roleplay a Paladin
I think he'd play a barbarian or cleric
the former because they are a stark contrast to his usual MO.
the later because it will allow him to help people more than just a laying on of hands.

you forgot Anna

Zenyatta is just a robot druid, he flies around throwing nuts at people.
Bastion is a robot ranger, he even has an animal companion.

nope, blizzard confirmed recently that Tracer has a red-headed girlfriend

no widow shipping for you

Neither does Zenyatta. DOHOHOHOHO!

Please direct all shill threads to Veeky Forums.

Here: I correct your list. I think you might be bronze-league.
>Soldier - decent dps, tertiary healer, secondary flanker
That would be Paladin.
>Genji - gank and run
That would be a fighter.
>Reinhardt - Tank like wuh
Fighter.
>McCree - Stand-up fight tailored to specific enemies
Ranger.
>Hanzo - Glass cannon
Low level mage.
>Widowmaker - Glass cannon with zero utility
Fighter with no HP.
>Zenyatta - Counter-spell and dps and tank
Ranger
>Pharah - Range and mass damage and hard to attack
Wizard specialized in fireball
>Winston - Point damage tank
Fighter.
>Mei - Shits on everything with utility
Bard
>Torbjorn - Buffs and more buffs
Priest
>Junkrat - Shits damage on everything, can't kill anything
Thief
>Roadhog - Self-healing dps with ridiculous utility
Paladin
>DVa - No damage but basically invincible
Priest
>Mercy - Heals and buffs and rez
Priest
>Sombra - Does absolutely nothing helpful for anyone, anywhere, ever, unless the entire team is coordinated on pulling off a specific utility move
Thief
>Reaper - Best short-range DPS and move utility
Ranger

So, the game is just team fortress: Blizzard waifu edition right?

It is more strictly focused on ensuring play is fully competitive by allowing a wider range of tactics.

Somewhat.

Yeah, because nobody lusts after other people while they're in a relationship.

That would be ludicrous.

>Winston is a by-the-book GM who's well-meaning but can't really handle PC loopholes
>Soldier: 76 is stern, but fair - you will get your +5 sword, but you've gotta work for it

>HANZO AND GENJI ARE BANNED FROM PLAYING IN THE SAME CAMPAIGN, IT /ALWAYS/ LEADS TO PVP

>Everyone was surprised when Zarya decided to play a Warforged. Everyone except Bastion. Bastion knows more than it should.

it's got some MOBA components so it's a little like DOTA Fortress 3.5e.

and they promise to add several new characters a year. and very pretty animated shorts and comics to expand the universe

I never liked the blue skin-tone.
I preferred the idea that she was sadly alone cause she could never attract dates or keep a steady relationship.
either outcome builds a better character than TracerXWidow

I would consume THE SHIT out of that in an episodic format...comics, voice-actors live, animated shorts, porn preludes, etc...

>Soldier 76
>Paladin

Since when is flanking, hit-and-run tactics something a Paladin does? Soldier is 100% a fighter

He's your typical front line leader dude

He also forgot Bastion, Lucio, Tracer, Symmetra and a couple others I think.

also yes.

More pls, user

I maded dis

Ganji's a ninja you palooka!

>Lucio always makes sure to put together a fitting soundtrack for the campaign, but always sneaks in a few joke tracks when Symmetra is the GM

>Symmetra, for her part, has made it clear that she prefers hexes to squares, and furthermore will not tolerate ANY deviation from RAW - she has REALLY good board/map setups though

>Roadhog brings enough snacks for everyone, but never actually plays

>D.Va sometimes get so deep into character that she won't respond to her own name for a while, and has to be snapped out of it via K-Pop at high volume
>Mei's a little scared that the same thing might've happened on a more permanent basis to Hana Song in the first place - falling so deeply into her gamer-girl idol persona that she can't go back to normal

>Mei really isn't one to talk considering she always makes horrible puns during combat encounters
>always

>Ana is sick of playing designated driver for half the party


>McCree runs a Deadlands game on the side
>everyone was dumbfounded to hear this, because they thought it was way too obvious

>somewhere in the afterlife, Balderich, Gerard, Mondatta, and the original Doomfist regularly sit down for some OSR

>Winston: The door to the lich's chamber seems to be kept shut by some sort of puzzle lock. There's a dragon-shaped...
>Junkrat: FIREBALL!
>Winston: Uh... The door flies off its hinges and falls in the middle of the room, and the thunderous sound echoes in the stone hall. Acerak the evil necromancer, standing atop the altar turns to you with an evil grin "I was expecting you..."
>Reaper: Yeah, yeah. I teleport behind him and unsheathe my katana.
>Reinhardt: I scream "FOR GREAT JUSTICE!" at the top of my lungs and CHARGE!
>Mei: I tell the lich I have a bone to pick with him! Tee-hee!
>Torbjon: *Cracks open one of the four book he has in front of him* Okay, first, I cast timestop. Empower Magic. Energy regeneration. Xardas' Shimmering Armor. Planar Magic. Twinned Arcane blessing. True strike. Simulacra. Quickened fireball. Okay, so timestop is up, so I cast disintegration ray, and, using the Reverse Transmogrification feat I took in second level...
>Tracer: When do I get to act?
>Lucio: OH MAN THIS GAME IS AMAZING!
>Mercy: Sigh... I ready an action to ressurect everyone.

Monks do heal in some editions, like ad&d where they were a cleric kit

>overwatch is a garbage game
>DnD is a garbage game
It's like pottery!

So...they're all ceramic pots?

>Tracer - Dyke

OH FUCK! Take THAT, all horrid straight people everywhere! She's a LESSSBBBIIIIIAAAAANNNNN! Hooray! Now you awful awful geek males (eww) won't be...able...to jerk off...to...her...waaaaiiiitaminnit...

>awful awful geek males
You mean DIRTY PROBLEMATIC MISOGYNERDS

>mfw some fags actually celebrate that there's a LGBT character in OW
how utterly idiotic do you have to be to celebrate the fact that there's a fake person that shares one of your traits

>Since when is flanking, hit-and-run tactics something a Paladin does?
Since allways considering no paladín Oath ever restricted battle tactics.

AND ALSO OUR MAIN DEMOGRAPHIC!
THAT WE HATE BUT STILL WANT TO GIVE US MONEY!

actually looking at the comic, it's not a badly done reveal. it's a couple of people spending Christmas together. though I think The Flash TV series does the "terminally late speedster" trope better, but that's just a preference.

the flashes of how some of them spend their Christmases was pretty good, even if widow and reapers were both a little jarring.

Reinhardt Christmas is Best Christmas though...

You're playing soldier poorly. He's a stand-your-ground, sustained dps with minor healing, whose main purpose is to challenge other heavy dps head-on. How is that anything other than a paladin?

How utterly idiotic do you have to be to decry the fact there's a fake person who doesn't?

That's not the competitive video game demo, any more. Hasn't been for a while.

News to me.

Tracer being gay is actually brilliant on Blizzard's part. Shuts down the Winston/Tracer pairings and eliminates potential complaints about implied bestiality.

was that a significant thing?

ew...

Reinhardt christmas is in best christmas, while Widow christmas is saddest christmas.

Reaper probably spends every major holiday creeping on random people he sees on the street, most of them being too weirded out to mention or bring attention to the spooky masked edgelord that's been staring at them from behind a dumpster for the past 20 minutes.

>implying that'll stop them
Shippers will ignore anything that doesn't match their headcanon, including sexual orientation and common sense.

No. Winston/Tracer combo is just begging to get rolled by triple tank. That's a terrible pairing.

>while Widow christmas is saddest christmas.
why?
she put him there, and talon took away her emotions...
honestly thought reaper was just stalking a talon-hit

the other 4 players can handle the push while Trinston harasses from the far-back

Strange that Widowmaker was visiting a grave. I thought she lacked any empathy anymore.

Maybe she remember how having emotions felt and try to get it back

Can confirm.

Still has memories. I bet Talon took away her ability to feel happiness, but can still feel depression and sadness. They're docks like that

There's absolutely no way they aren't building towards a redemption arc for her.

>Fucking wierdo keeps staring at us outside our house
>Follows us to Walmart too and hides in the gothic sections of the clothing aisles.
>Don't want to bring it up because of his shotguns and his grumblings about death.
>Angrily growls when kids want to go to Hot Topic, but I say no.

there's no way they aren't considering it.

but I think they need to hold it off longer so there can be more named villains introduced.

and quite frankly I would not mind if people tried to redeem her and failed. it might even be a specialty of her training to SEEM redeemable only to turn on the redeemers and reduce them to chunky salsa

>Widow is standing at the grave of her first victim
>probably not even sure why she's standing there or why she brought flowers
>it just felt right

Also why does Talon give its living weapon time off for Christmas?

I really don't want that. Just because she's a waifu doesn't mean she has to be a good guy.

At most, make her an anti-villain. Occasionally doing something noble for selfish reasons and helping save the day while leaving a bad taste in the hero's mouth.

> goth girl throws a fit because her dad won't buy here what she wants
> goes to her room and cries as soon as she gets home.

>Reaper playing Emo Santa

FUND THIS.

>Your parents suuuuuuuuck

>join taaaaloooon
>unlike your parents we 'get yooooouuu'
>overwatch is for kiiiiiids

Reaper is technically just a Mercenary. I think the Widowmaker thing is just to be a dick and let her feel anguish.

>Also why does Talon give its living weapon time off for Christmas?
It's an oversight by HR.

Do you think Balderich would get along with Mondatta?

For 5e?
>Soldier 76 - Fighter
Yep
>Genji - Rogue
Yep
>Reinhardt - Paladin
Fighter would probably work better, seeing as paladins heal.
>McCree - Ranger
No. Rogue or fighter.
>Hanzo - Ranger
Either that or fighter.
>Widowmaker - Ranger
No. Rogue.
>Zenyatta - Monk
Not at all. Cleric.
>Pharah - Fighter
Yep.
>Winston - Wizard
Yep
>Mei - Wizard
I's say sorcerer.
>Torbjorn - Dwarven Artificer
No need to bring race into this. Yes, an artificer would work.
>Junkrat - Sorcerer
Sure, I suppose.
>Roadhog - Barbarian
Yep.
>D.Va - cancer
...
>Mercy - Cleric
Yep.
>Sombra - Rogue
Idunno
>Reaper - Big Bad
...

Maybe, but the friendship would definitely start one-sidedly on Mondatta's part. It'd take Balderich a while to warm up, but Robo-Buddha's mentor can probably get through to anyone.

>robo buddha
Dial up Lama you philistine

>Monk
>Cleric kit
You never played AD&D it seems, monk was a class by itself in AD&D, user, and couldn't heal (except to himself only)

Honestly, Reinhardt is a combination Paladin and Barb. He is all about honor and is a crusader through and through but that motherfucker enjoys the thrill of the fight too much to not have a bit of Barb in him.

Hes like a knight that became one because he loved the adrenaline beat in his chest from a good fight and ended up actually believing in the orders teachings after a while.

>>Zenyatta - Monk
>Not at all. Cleric.
Well, technically they released a healbot monk in UA

Soldier 76 is actially a duelist - modern soldiers are descended from line infantry, and line infantry (such as musketeers) explicitly use the duelist class as their base.

this is a good thing.

This HAS to be bait

Assuming it's not though never post in a thread on this board ever again

Zarya

This is the most tumblr tier shit I've seen on Veeky Forums all day

Please FUCK off back there

>implying

>modern soldiers are descended from line infantry

Descended from does not mean being the same.

... really?

I could make more if anyone feels like me trying to spaghetty through translating Overwatch characters to Strike!

First reply decides character.

Bastion

>Strike
what is this?

also, McCree

That's actually pretty hard, there aren't many things that let you give up mobility in Strike!. I'll do it anyway.

A gamist as shit indie game with an effects-based system, that's mostly about tactical combat between squad sized specialists.

Basically custom fit for all sorts of vidya (MOBAs, TRPGs)/battle manga inspired shit.

but does it do the stuff it's built for well?

Yeah. It doesn't replicate existing stuff that well (your characters end up more versatile most of the time, and as an effects based system it has some blind spots; such as bastion's alternate form), but the combat is pretty good, if you are into that sort of stuff.

>Reaper plays an old, worn box of Lamenters

On this Christmas season lets all take a pause
to listen to the tale of old Reaper-Claus
a bleak Christmas tale that's filled up with doom
about a edgy teen girl crying up in her room
the presents she got this year were just bad
through her tears she exclaimed "YOU JUST DON'T GET ME DAD!"
distraught, she did not notice it when,
through the window some wispy black smoke did creep in
Through her tears did she see a sight that held back the flood
an midnight black present, stained with real blood
what she found inside made her black heart want to sing
a sarcastic black t-shirt, and a brand new nose ring
She ran to the window, and for a moment she saw
just a short glimpse of old Reaper-Claus
but she heard him exclaim as away he did fly
"...Edgy Christmas to all ...and to all...Die Die Die!"

Symmetra is the mistress of greenstuff, her minis always look *exactly* like her PC, painted right down to the freckles.

Lucio brings a hackey sack to games, he goes outside to smoke when it isn't his turn.

Lucio is the biggest team player of the group.

I covered things as best I could, but it's not the greatest fit. At least switching forms takes a move action, so he's a bit less mobile while doing that.

Bastion's a level 1 Shapechanger type, with multi-role shapechanger feat. This means he has some ridiculous amount of versatility. I also used a homebrewed a multiclass feat to simulate his gunplay a bit (switching out the normal shapechanger powers for archer stuff instead; this can be safely ignored).

Tortoise form covers being in defensive form, becoming the defender role, getting superbuff HP.

Mammoth form covers turning into a fucking tank and trampling everything under your threads. You can also shoot explosions now, being a Blaster.

Finally, Form of the Hawk is the third form I had to pick because shapechangers get 3 forms... so I was like "what if he turned into, like, a gunship or a jet or something", so he turns into a gunship or a jet or something and unloads with the minigun as a Striker.

You think this just doesn't give the shippers more fuel? Now Tracer/Widow is possible in canon

Have you never heard of the Fighting-Monk kit? It was 2e's first take on the Monk class.

She has a canon girlfriend though, while Widow was shown morning her murdered husband

When has canon ever stopped anyone from shipping anyone? People still ship Naruto and Sakura, and he's married to Hinata.

>Mercy - Cleric

Evil Necromancer Cleric to be specific.

>the "Mercy is the real villain" meme

Underrated joke, user.

Just wait for Infinity RPG.
