It's pretty fun, I think - which is surprising given that it isn't my usual genre of choice. I haven't tried many of the characters yet but I've been sticking with Soldier 76 since I like how he looks when he's made to be blond.
He's fairly simple where his abilities are concerned but I like that. I focus on strategy and covering fire so being able to sprint and throw down a heal whilst shooting from behind cover is pretty good.
Ditto. Playing a lone wolf who flanks and harasses on maps like Gibraltar really warmed me up to the character because S76 has some incredible survivability.
Mm. He's very versatile! It's very satisfying to bait people into following him whilst he sprints between cover and shoots at them. The right positioning can also have him adopt the role of a sniper too - though it's risky since I've had people sneak up on him whilst doing that. Overall, though, I just like how he 'feels'.
I should try out the others but...typically I just stick with what clicks with me first.
