After months of teetering on whether to get it or not, I finally purchased the game last November and I haven't regretted it. I'd definitely reccomend it to anyone who enjoys team-based shooters from time to time.
The thing that I love so much about it is the variety of gameplay styles it offers. I enjoyed playing games like Halo when I was younger, but my aim has always been absolute crap; it's no different recently. However, Overwatch has plenty of roles that don't require players to have a perfect aim. I main Mercy, a support role, who has a healing/damage boosting beam that locks onto nearby teammates, and it's been a wonderful experience.
For those who aren't quite convinced due to the price of the game, its anniversary is coming fairly soon, and they'll probably have a sale price on it during that time.
To answer OP's question, my favorite character is Mercy for the reason mentioned prior, and I'm level 173, I think? Frankly, I've been a bit burned out of it from playing so much. I started the Nexus Challenge just yesterday for Genji's Oni Skin, and frankly, I had a lot of fun playing Heroes of the Storm too. I played at least another 5 matches after unlocking the event rewards. ;v; If you're doing the challenge too, I wouldn't mind grouping up with you for some of the matches in the following weeks. If you want to add me, my battletag is PicnicBasket#11312.
