its aight

played in the pc open beta and its a decent game but its not worth rushing out to preorder especially since blizzard wont say if they are gonna charge for additional heroes

your best bet is to wait for it to go on sale

Theres no way there gonna charge per hero. But they WILL charge per expansion. Which makes sense.

60$(or 40 for PC) gets u the FULL game from the start. Its up to you if u want the map packs later on just like every other FPS. The only difference is Overwatch map packs are "More" then map packs because they will probably include additional heroes.. And since this is team based your clearly gonna need them if u want to stay competitive.

I like it better this way. I would of rather pay 30$ for Hearthstone off the back if it gave me access to the full basic set then have it be Free to play and Pay to win and waste 20$ on packs every 2-3 weeks HOPING I get what I want. They release expansions every 4-5 months for 25$ which is fine. Overwatch is bound to be the same way.

I hope they have a mode that limits character changes mid game

Im sure they have something stacked up for competive play

I highly doubt it. Switching characters mid game is literally the foundation of this game.
