Someone plz explain to me why Overwatch isn't just like every other 1st person shooter game....
It doesn't follow logically that this would be the next big deal right after Undertale... *head scratches*....

In regards to your microphone, if you use WASD for movement, I find that Left-Alt makes an excellent PTT button. It falls under your thumb, and is a good resting point if you use SPACEBAR for anything... I suspect jumping in this game.

Well I don't know if I can give you a satisfactory answer, 'cos I don't generally play a lot of 1st person shooters, but that in itself should probably at least point to something. Overwatch...

1. Is very casual-friendly
   
2. Drops you into a well-designed and beautifully-rendered "Not quite The Incredibles but close!" setting with a diverse cast of fun and engaging characters


3. Not only is NOT about "Col. Spacemarine McStubbleface," it happily pokes fun at a lot of such stereotypes


4. Does not have a single-player story, but is purely a vehicle for team-based objective matches. So it only does one thing, but it does it very well.

Beyond that it's hard to say. It's a fun action game with a likable cast.

Doesn't ALT usually kick you into the menu/system tho? I'd think that would cause difficulties.

I'm not too sure on how Overwatch is set for key bindings, but that could be easily changed
