I can see a few of the characters as being particularly powerful though, and that problem was compounded when friends grouped up and played the same character. Had a match with 3 Reapers and it was unbearable. Couple of matches with a pair of the tank/turret one (can't remember the name) on defense as well. It was impossible for a group of random players to get through that.

Other than that, I'm seriously considering purchasing the game.

Never played Team Fortress but I've heard the comparisons a lot. You have to give it time for people to learn what characters counter which. That's why you can switch during the game. I've been playing since the closed beta. For example Reaper and Tracer are good counters for Torbjorn's turrets or Bastion. Reaper has to hit from close up so snipers are a good counter for him ECT.
