    I really really like Tracer. Such an unique design it makes sense that it's the boxart of the game.
    What's your favourite character? :p

    Pharah! I love her playstyle a whole bunch but something about her that just sits right with me. I love being able to fly high up and surprise people with rockets from above. It gets them all disoriented to where I am going. It's funny to see when looking up and spinning around to try and find me. I really don't like the look of her helmet though.

    I like Hanzo because I like archer heroes and I also like the tools in his kit in general even if it wasn't shot with a bow and arrow. I also like his ultimate dragon power which I think looks so cool. I like the asian theme and artwork overall too.

    Definitely Tracer at the moment. Her personality, accent and skillset all appeal to me greatly.

    Tracer has a lot of appeal to me. The only thing I don't like about her is her hair, from a distance she look more like a handsome anime dude.

    Well I think her personality is a little tomboyish, I can't imagine her with long hair haha.

    I haven`t really decided yet, but I will surely have favorite hero once the game launches and I can spend more time playing it. I`m usually going for ranged heroes out of preference.

    Yeah but I think she will look way cooler with a ponytail. Besides, it will add more visual flair for the animation to see her running and then her hair following her at all times ha!

    Pretty sad that they took out Tracer's sexy pose just to cater to SJWs and feminists.

    It's a goddamn video game, whats wrong with having ladies showing a bit of ass.

    There's a couple ponytailed characters in the game already, most notably Widowmaker. I think having a variety of hairstyle skins would be cool.

    Yeah it's pathetic and really doesn't matter although I do kinda get where they're coming from. I mean, just because a character is a female that doesn't mean she has to show her body off like that and I agree that it doesn't really fit her personality but maybe it's just her being silly I guess.

    Well there's lots of other diverse female characters in the game as well. Zarya is pretty much a female Russian Dwayne Johnson, and Mei is a brilliant Asian scientist. Why can't we have a cheeky sexy Australian in the mix to cater to guys?

    I like Tracer mostly because of her butt ;). Seriously though, I would have to go with Genji. It looks like it will take a lot of skill to play as him without sucking, and a challenge is always welcome.

    I also like her, and I also am not a fan of short hair to be completely honest, but it guess it suits her enough considering her personality. You're right though from afar she kind of comes off as a boy.

    He's also a samurai, so there's points for extra coolness! ;)

    Reinhardt seems great - a modern knight dedicated to old-world values of chivalry and honour, while swinging around a giant rocket-hammer clad in a massive mechanical suit of armour. What's not to like? His abilities also look incredibly fun to use, even the shield simply to lead team-mates towards the point. There's a great Overwatch streamer called Arcadum who role-plays Reinhardt as he plays, screaming stuff like "for glory!" as he charges towards the point. Funny stuff.

    I haven't decided yet, but I really like Tracer at the moment. I love her personality and style. Maybe that will change in the long run, but I'm sticking with her for the moment.

    Tracer is my favorite so far, I love her character design and the way she plays. Blizzard picked the right character to be the face of the game, in my opinion.

    Genji has my vote here. Love his style, love the gameplay, totally fits me. It's one of those characters I could identify with immediately.

    It has to be Reaper for me:

    I love his different moves and skills. I love that he can move like a ghost in the battle area. He can drain the lives of his enemies. He is a short-range character as well. But there's a downside to him, he has such a short life span.

    He might end up dying before he can even attack the enemies. But despite that, his high reward and high risk character is my favourite out of the bunch. If you know how to play him correctly, then you can get the best out of him.
