I initially heard about the game being in beta from the beginning but I didn't used to play games that often so I showed no interest towards it. Then my friend started talking about it and he was hyped and I thought he was dumb (now I'm sure he is xD) for liking that game.
Me & my friend usually went to "PC Bangs" to play CS:GO but we noticed some other kids started playing Overwatch and screaming at each other and my friend asked whether I wanted to try it and so we did. First game ever was in either Ilios or Hollywood. And my first hero plyws was D.Va. I remember wondering why my "R" button to reload wasn't working.
Since that first time, I started playing more and watching even more videos about the game until after a few months I bought it for myself at home. Now toxicity flows through me! 3972 SR peak.
