The Overwatch Thread

I'd kill to be in your shoes
I've gotten a shit ton of legendaries today, and not to sound ungrateful, but I'm fucking pissed none of them were Mercy's.
 
they add 8 skins and drown it in almost ONE HUNDRED SPRAYS

I'll never get this shit
 
i feel like there's a "no mercy" joke to be made here, but I'm certain it's already been made enough
 
I opened up the free box, got 3 grays and one blue, the only event-item was a 76 voice line.

I actually really want that McCree skin.

I got a bunch of blues for my two free boxes.
This bodes ill for me.
I'm just resigned to my fate and accepting that I'm gonna have to get 20 or 40 boxes.

Reminds me of the Halloween event, I wanted witch Mercy so much I bought like 25 boxes on the last day of the event. Still didn't get her. I did get enough coins to buy the skin though, which was something.

It is. It's called Zarya's voice line.

On another note. Not having that new Torb highlight intro is a crime.
 
Talking about crime... The Archer is getting way fewer special skins than the other chars
 
Jutsei said:
I joked that I'd get Combat Medic Mercy instead of any of the other Legendaries I wanted.
Guess what fucking happened.
That's two Seasonal legendaries for a character I barely play now.
At least they look good.
 
whenever I get stuck in a horde game with people who dont know how to effectively use their hero

So you guys might've remembered me venting out my sorrows and anger at getting a Mercy skin again
During Halloween, I got like 2-3 Witch Mercy skins during my 20+ Lootbox unboxing, I don't remember, needless to say, I hate this since I Don't play Mercy

I earn two loot boxes today, one from winning 3, one from leveling up, I open the second one, I get a Legendary, my heart skips, maybe it's Torbjor-
NOPE
ANOTHER COMBAT MEDIC MERCY.
I got such a fucking bad feeling about when I buy these boxes it's happening again.
I don't like Mercy she's so sososososososososososososososo boring to play.
 
but real talk, if you arent actively switching between healing staff and gun on Mercy in the horde mode,
fucking quit playing the game so someone competent can join in.
I'm fucking serious, you need to do EVERYTHING your hero can offer in this game mode.
that means switching to Mercy's gun so you can help kill the mobile bomb.
that means using Rein's hammer to take down those little bots so they dont destroy the payload.
that means not staying on your turret as Torbjorn and getting the dick out of your hand and use the damn shotgun you fucking waste of space!
like, I remember being in a game with a Torb and all he did was just hit his turret with the hammer like an asshole!
FUCK OFF!

Seriously though, the mode itself needs some tweaking. 4 full minutes holding the car is ridiculous.

And IIRC, mercy's more useful buffing a high power character (bastion) than with her peashooter

Reinhardt should be shielding the bombs between the payload while everyone is focus firing the soldiers around it.
If he isn't doing that when the bomb goes off then he isn't playing Reinhardt right.
 
Mercy should be buffing/healing, followed by helping to pick off the smaller things later. The bomb should be handled by someone who can stop it via knock back or stun. I've beaten Legendary as Mercy.

I got Ironclad from my second box <,> I like it though ^_^

I've definitely heard this strat, but I've never actually seen it used. It seems a little risky/easy to mess up, so I would think the reward is less than the risk unless you know exactly what you're doing.

The one I usually see is right when it triggers it's self destruct sequence, Rein will charge it away, letting it blow up away from the payload, saves time trying to shoot it dead and gives focus on other nasties roaming around.
 
Well guys you know whats fun?
Spawn Campers.
You know whats funner?
Two games in a row with Spawn Campers you can't do shit about.
You know whats just the funnest?
The Lootbox you suffered thorugh at least 5 shitshow games for opening and it's nothing but Blues that are worthless.
So basically I've gotten nothing in my lootboxes today (and by extension, this week)
except for you know
that
fucking
Mercy
skin
that i never wanted
AGAIN.

Just a tiny bit upset. Just a tiny tiny tinnnnnnnnnnnny bit upset at my utterly wasted time.
If Mercy keeps up this trend of utterly cockblocking me from the Legendaries I actually want in every seasonal event she's in I'm going to have to upgrade my annoyance to fullblown actual hatred of everything about her

He should not be wasting time charging bombs. He needs to save those for Bastions and Erradicators.
Tracer and Torb should be focusing soldiers and splicers while that's happening to clear out the area then focus the Bastions when he charges it.

So, what you're saying is...

My salt comes only from the horde mode.
Like, all of it comes from how people are not using their heroes to the fullest of their abilities.

Some people just want to have fun...
 
So, Jeff said that Blizzard isn't gonna be at E3 again this year.

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE BEEN CUCKED AGAIN.
 
Blizzard is above such trivial things as E3.
Usually they don't go there, they save annoucements for overseas conventions, I mean, Diablo 3 was announced at some show in Paris.
 
DukeMagus said:

thats fine, and the people who want that can just go to quickplay and not the limited time game mode that gives a ton of XP and requires to do more than 1 thing with your hero.
like real talk, Mercy should be helping with her pistol when everybody is good on health.
you can easily switch to it on the fly.
you can actually kill 2 of the normal bots with 1 clip without relying on headshots. fucking help out if people dont need healing.
use your god damn gun as Torbjorn and stop relying on your turet.
this is like playing League of Legends and never using anything but Q and R.
if you're a good Mercy you can use all her tools.
 
Bastions in this new game mode expose bad players real quick. Especially tank Bastion.

Heroes of The Storm Nexus 2.0 Challenge

The Nexus Challenge, a popular event that cross-pollinated Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm players by rewarding Oni Genji skins, has returned for a second go around. The Nexus Challenge 2.0 starts right now. The first week of the event will have Heroes of the Storm-specific rewards hitting the Nexus, as well as a return of the Oni Genji skin for playing five games.

This time, it rewards an Officer D.Va skin for playing five matches during the second week of the event.

Reward is an Officer D.Va Skin?! I must have it!

The third week of the event will reward the following icons and sprays for playing five games of Heroes of the Storm with a friend.

The fourth week will have Overwatch players get awarded 10 loot boxes for playing five games with a friend.​

I want a highlight intro of her Meka turning into a segway.
 
Something to note for this event, a popular way to speed through the event last time was to breeze through it through Vs AI with a friend.
With Weeks 2-4 of this event, you will have to resort to doing Quick-Match, Unranked, or Ranked.
Which means you have to play against actual people.
 
Do you have to play with a friend for the skins or can you do it solo?

Have to be in a group with a friend and play against real people for Weeks 2-4
It's ONLY 5 games though, should take roughly 1-3 hours depending on how long the game is.

Don't fret console players, Blizzard is planning to add both the Oni Genji and Officer D.Va skins into regular Overwatch loot boxes in a future update.
Both of the skins were listed as a reward for playing Heroes of the Storm matches with friends and are not at all PC exclusive.

I wish I could get this skin... My gaming rig died 2 years ago (not like it ran HotS) and I wouldn't have the internet speed for this event T~T

Source? Cause I'd totally go box digging when it's announced.
 
HOTS isn't that good rn anyway. Been playing it a lot. The lack of information always infuriated me. You arent told what hit you and did what to you until after you died and quick match is basically just a free way to get tilted. Game isn't exactly friendly to ppl who want to screw around. You have to be on your A game 90% of the time and that honestly makes it hard to recommend.
 
Dunno what HotS You've been playing, it's very obvious when objectives come up, and if anything, it's one of the more dickaround friendly MOBAs there is.

Either way, if anyone neeeds help with this you can PM me
