Got a loot box that had all copies, blizzard plz.

Devil, Sigrun (Mercy)

I love reading what people have gotten from their loot crates and just thinking abut how much better a loot system they could have made. But se la vi I guess...
 
See I actually kind of hate the loot box system not just because of it's state right now (which is already garbage) but because of how I feel it only works right now. The amount of legendary skins, poses, and all that junk feels like passable at least. But this game has to be updated in the future anyway so like... It makes me like loathe thinking of it staying the same even if we get one hero or new costume for every character to completely ruin it. Does that make sense?
 
Resisting cosmetic impulse purchases is the new meta. It's like an ARG with real money. :P

Makes sense. The more things they release the harder it will be to actually get any of the items you want. At least with stuff like Smite their loot boxes are all themed, so a limited selection of items and you can't get duplicates. And you can buy things directly with your gems though it may be more costly than getting it via the chests. And in stuff like league you now earn chests and key fragments through playing the game, but you can sinply reroll and 3 duplicates of the same kind to get a free item you're guaranteed to not have. So it exists alongside a storefront.

Granted Overwatch doesn't have a massive plethora of items to buy, but the way they handled duplicates and gold allocation feels very tacked on. Why not have us earn gold in matches as well? That way we can buy what we want without dealing with rng and rng gold just acts like a bonus. Then they could feasibly introduce a paid stimpack to help that along in addition to chests. Just feels like a better formula than it is now...

Yeah, I would be fine with the loot boxes if there was actually another way to earn gold. But having the gold also be randomized makes no sense.

It would also be nice if the possibility of getting duplicates was completely discarded like seriously

Its to help solidify that casino slot machine roll mentality the system has. I'm still surprised people are defending this. Like, yeah, Overwatch is helps amazing to play and it's really solidly designed, but that makes this egregious error even more annoying. People like to brush it off as being cosmetic, and yeah in the heat of the fight it's harder to differentiate a lot of these skins. But still, if you're going to charge people for a game and then have a loot system with microtransactions, do it right. Even if the game is good it doesn't mean shit if the loot system meant to incentivize players to do well to level up faster is so broken in favor of just buying the boxes. At least stuff like league straight puts it in your face that you need to cough up money for these noticably cool skins. And even HOTS has this. LIKE WTF. YOU HAVE A GOOD (albeit empty) storefront on one hero-based game, and a totally trash system on your other one? Wp Blizzard.

Ok. I got all my rant out. Sorry.

yo real talk, I feel Arctic or Siberian Front should have been Zarya's default skins.
And that we could've just done without her Hot Topic skin.
 
Its so weird because the actual person Zarya is based on is actually pretty attractive and seems like a fun gal to hang around with.

What the fuck happened in the translation from real life to game?
 
So anyone tried competitive mode yet? How is it? I reached lvl30 by the time the update came for consoles so I'm planninh to try it soon, but I heard there's a real issue with ragequitting.

Mmm see I think Competitive is okay, but I think it's way unfun by yourself. Coordination is absolutely key and some people just can't do that. I also played it when the system was still busted, like how the youtube player star got 54 rank despite winning 9 out of 10 games, and I'm only 10 behind after losing six lol. But when I watched his video I noticed high high play is actually kind of boring too. Hero stacking is incredibly effective and that's all you'll see in most cases. It really kills the fun and makes some characters absolutely never picked like Zenyatta.

Overall, I'm not really going to try it unless I really want to be competitive or I have a lot of friends available to play it with. And until that hero stacking thing gets fixed I think I'm going to stick to quick matches. Needs a little work, but can be really fun under the right circumstances.

That strategy actually works REALLY well on the right maps lmao. That one map on Lijang Tower with the big pole I managed to contest it the whole round and get like 16,400 healing done as Lucio lol

I got the game a couple days ago, I had played it a few times at a friend's before, forgot to say anything here.

Shorydouken#1252. Already level 15. Would enjoy people to play with. Will usually being using Soldier 76/Roadhog but use almost every hero, of course.

Fuck tracer, most annoying character along with Mei

thank
 
And we got our first post-game character
You thought it was Sombra (Who you thought was Pharah's Mom)
But it was...
...
Actually just Pharah's Mom and not evil/Sombra
Vids in spoiler
 
WELP

PACK IT IN FOLKS

THEY WIN.

OBJECTIVE CLAIMED BACK CAPPED



I AM

100%

ROCK HARD HYPED FOR THIS.

SHE CAN HEAL, SHE CAN BLOCK HEALING, SHE CAN GIVE A SPEED/DAMAGE BOOST TO SOMEONE, AND SHE CAN STUN/ PUT TO SLEEP A TARGET FOR ABOUT A COUPLE SECONDS.

But from the looks of it both of her actions on healing and blocking healing eat up her ammo, so she's sorta like Hanzo with his different arrows.

also fuck Jutsei i love you but come on. you can't hide this in the spoilers.
 
Time to destroy all the healers.
 
oh I REALLY hope she gets a solid snake voice line.

like

please.

Also I can't wait for the NEXT hero to come out. I really hope it's an Evil Omnic.

Like a Battle Tank Kind. OMG THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
 
The Ana info is hype, but I think we have now seen the 2 coming AFTER Ana!.

The Bio-video that is the letter, After Reinhart is added, you see 2 more unknown Overwatch Agents, one male and one female fade in on either side of the group. No idea on anything for them yet but they may be who will be announced after Ana has been out.
 
Patch notes update today.

Ana - Phara's mother is being released as a heavily utility based support. Has a sniper that applies HoTs on allies and DoTs on enemies, a sleeping dart that causes enemies to be immobilized for a time or until they take damage, a grenade which heals AND increases ally healing while also deals damage and prevents healing to enemy heroes, and her ult which allows one ally to temporarily move faster, deal more damage, and take less damage from enemies’ attacks.

Mercy - Her ult timer takes more time to charge and she can now move when she activates her ult instead of just being a free kill when reviving teammates. Also, damage boost buff.
D.Va - Her Matrix has been changed to operate similarly to Pharah's jet booster: Hold to activate matrix and deplete an energy reserve.
Zenyatta - He's getting more shields, and he moves a lot faster when he uses his Ultimate.

Competitive Play

Hero stacking is gone for competitive play. +1 hero limit enforced on Competitive.
No more coin flips, instead games will end in a tie where its mostly performance weighted then.

Ana Skins. I'm so wanting her Captain Amari and Shirke skins.

I can't wait for people to call her shit then jump to Bastion's defence because disliking that character obviously makes you the worst person ever.

All those patches are on the PTR by the way, she's not in the main game yet.

Also, here's her epic and legendary skins:

Love her epics, not really a fan of her legendaries.

Also also,

There's a big difference between disliking a character and claiming a character is unbalanced. One of those applies the issue to yourself, the other to the game.
