Not all of them the only one off the top of my head is the wolf skins. i think there are others but i cant think of the others right now.

Mercy Legendary skins all have different res lines. Enemy one will always be german though I think.
Speaking of Mercy ... had to go 76 every 3rd game today when I played support. Because my team couldn't hit anything, Genjis, Reapers just beelining towards me. And while Mercy Pistol usually beats a Genji if you can dodge his dash. Reaper just invulns into you. I am happy my aim is improving. But it still feels weird to switch of the only support, so you can win.

People are horrifically terrible. Here's the thing you should learn now and it might save you some grief down the road. Smart people learn from their mistakes. 90%+ of people do not learn from their mistakes, ever. The vast vast majority of people are fucking idiots for life. They're the ones that charge face first down the main entrance into 2 bastions over and over and over and over and over and over and you lose. There's ways to flank on every map, theirs heroes that can shell a position without actual direct LoS, there's tons of counters. But people will keep running straight up the gut and get blasted down in a quarter of a second. The best you can do is actually learn from your mistakes, do whats best for the team to win, and don't forget to hit P (or is it O?), right click, avoid this player with idiots.

Reading this thread I feel like everyone is the opposite of me. I never rage about team mates, but I am usually upset about my own play. My own badness makes me rage. Probably should not have watched pro level streams before playing myself.

This kind of view seems to discount that Elo based matchmaking exists in Overwatch. Your team mates should have about the same skill level as you. If you feel your team mates are horrible it is very likely you are horrible. This is why you got matched with them.

Still 1-2 days left till my new laptop arrives.
Struggling with old Sony Vaio and 310M GPU is a hell of an experience. Everything set on low and u get ~18-20fps, oh boy.
Still managed to get some POTGs and win a couple of games. Currently my stats are ass since I'm sitting at like 11-31 score so far. Hope I can run at least 60fps+ on med/high settings with my hardware.
So far, so good. Game is awesome and I totally love.

I hope they will add a "don't join a match that is already running" option somewhere. I just don't want to play in a game that is already lost. Every third or so game I join is like that... Punish the leavers, but don't punish me, because someone decided to leave a game. In one game I entered with 10 seconds left. I couldn't leave the spawning point... Yet I "lost". Also unskippable play of the game is just stupid. Sometimes, I'm sick of watching Hanzo pressing Q or Bastion sitting in a corner shooting people in the back.

All the whine against bastion is so stupid.
Even if you get reinhardt+mercy supporting you that's a lot of static shit that's useless. It's kind of annoying on temple of anubis but then you just need 2-3 people to pick heroes that can bypass and it's np.
aside from taht i've been having a lot of success against bastion with zenyatta

In a team game people can always be carried into a winstreak and end up super high in MMR. Happens everywhere. Or they have a bad day, or just want to play around a little. Its just QM afterall. And you can always leave after 1 round to just try your luck and get a new team. So while MMR is pretty close to an ELO system, its way more unstable to make up for spikes in your performance asap. + Matchmaking in Overwatch balances out teams. So you can be a high MMR with 5 low MMR people, against 6 mid MMR. And it usually favors the 6 mid MMR.
On a side note I really have to work on my flanking timing. QQ
And LOL at that twitter Gif.

Playing Symmetra can be annoying since she fills the so-called healer slot as far as the game is concerned, meaning no one else will then play a healer half the time. And Symmetra is not a solo healer, but a utility hero like Tassadar in Heroes. Planting the sentries in every corner is fun though and annoying as hell for the enemy to deal with.
As for Bastion. Yes he can be countered. Yes if I play Soldier or Widowmaker I'll blow him up. Yet he is the only solitary hero in the game that you really have switch classes for. And even then, he is no fun to play against. Half the time I hook him, he still beats me anyway due to his armor and machine gun damage. And it is so annoying to come across a Bastion and not having a hero that can deal with him. And if Bastion was really hard to play and required a lot of skill I'd be fine with it, but no. Bastion just sits in the corner and mows down half your team before you even realize he is there and where he is shooting from. And newer players just keep walking into the meat grinder. Please just add a spin-up time Blizzard. At least make it so Bastion has to choose his spot well, instead of going 'oh there's a hero!' and then switching into sentry mode and murdering them before they can really do anything other than run behind a wall. Tank mode is also silly. Massive ranged nuke damage and a health boost. Pfft.
Double or Triple Pharah is also zero fun to play against as a tank. Roadhog is the only tank I'll play against it since I can hook them but there is so much constant damage output and knockback it just feels stupid. Constant Barrages is also no fun to deal with.

Can't really blame them for that. All of the healer heroes are extremely boring. If you ask me the healer role has no place in a shooter.

My only issue is I'd like to try out Lucio, and expand my repertoire, but I know my first several hours are just going to go badly, I've not played any support before. I guess I should just get in there and do it.

I only get annoyed if Symmetras don't switch after the first point. But she works as Solo support. Just need self healers like Zaria/76/Hogg.
Lucio is pretty easy to pick up. So go for it. Just be careful about his Ult. Its mostly there to counter ults. You can use it to engange with a speed boost together, but it loses value because the shields drop really fast. But Lucio falls under easy to learn hard to master. Just make sure you have enough dps on the team. Because they really nuked his damage output.
Anyway I found one thing that makes me rage in Overwatch. If you complain about Tjorb and Bastion. How about trying to shoot stationary targets first. Seriously first game Lucio ... who is the only hero in the game who can't out dps Tjorb repair. Second time I had to watch as Reinhardt as a Turret slowly poked away at my shield. completely out in the open. On the plus side. I got better with Reinhardt! Shouldn't have stayed on him though ...

Even then, its not just about the healing its about the artificial HP if that makes sense.
Its really really hard to beat a team with a good mercy player if you dont have one yourself because half of them end up with two lives.
The alternative is to have lucio be proactive and kill their mercy asap because if she's alive, the lucio can't do much. If anything a lot of higher level teams run one lucio and a mercy or two lucios on the KotH maps. Reason being lucio can add hp when faced with a burst ult like mccree's deadeye and mercy can rez. Also lucio can add more mobility to mercy in really dire situations to keep her alive.
That's what I've noticed at least. If higher level teams ever run solo healers its a mercy. Never just one lucio.

So I've been playing throughout closed beta and am pretty confident in my ability to play all heroes "correctly" (except for being able to direct hit with pharah)... I feel like even when solo queuing there's usually some hero that can be used to carry the team out of any situation. I feel for the guy who complained about playing support for a bunch of guys who can't aim... I enjoy playing Lucio but it's times like those I switch to WM or mcree and get some momentum going for my team (and after winning a fight, it's easier to convince someone else to switch to support once everyone is feeling more optimistic).
Some other minor gripes:
Symmetra needs to count as a defense hero. New players seem to follow the auto team-comp suggestions pretty well, and it kills me when someone thinks they're "filling the role" by picking symmetra (or even zenyatta). Even worse is when someone picks her on offense.
People thinking Winston or DVA can main tank (especially on payload maps)
Along with that, why is "builder" a role segment, and "healer" is not? For random solo queue I think heals are going to go a lot further than a torb.
I wish I didn't have to press tab every time I wanted to quickly see the team comps and who is alive or dead. Switching is such a big part of the game and I think a lot of people would counter more frequently if they always had the team compositions in front of them (CS:GO style)
