Hey, the console players get a win for once.

I'm on console
---

yea I'm pretty sure it's only console players having issues
---

Oh my god I finally got in

I was unaware that Console even had a queue list. Never seen it.

It never did until today
---

It has happened before on console, but never to this extreme.

Just when it seemed all was fine I got sent back to the queue after being DCd.

I actually had time to play today for once, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

Someone let me know when the servers stop imploding so I can get some stuff.

Got Pharah's slam dunk highlight intro

Hmmmmmm.

Yeah.

Lucioball is still the worst game I've ever played.
---

yep, got my one lootbox and said peace to that pile of crap

especially as someone that has played like 300 hours of rocket league, lucioball is just hilariously bad
---

Lucioball is still so fun

El oh fuckin' el at the idea of Lucioball Comp.
---

I've been having a lot of fun with Lucioball

why do you hate it so much
---

Lucioball might be better if the ball actually went in any kind of direction you expected it to when you hit it.
---

I just went on a 10+ game win streak with two random dudes. I somehow am good at scoring in this dumb mode.

Nice new Deadeye for McCree

Holy shit those Soldier lines. Can't wait to get his skin.

Lucioball is pretty fun but getting into a lopsided match in comp is 6 minutes of major toxic suck.
---

I haven't tried Comp, but I bet I would be like top 10. I am a Lucioball god.

Oh it's a dark beer and not a diet soda. Love the detail they put into these skins. It's a huge step above most of the original Summer Games skins.

Man, I need that soldier skin
---

I'm so annoyed Player Icons aren't organized by events or anything. It's so annoying looking through to see what ones I have from the last Summer Games because they're all over the place.

Are you sure that's not just Ana's beachball?

I saw people saying he gets a beach ball instead of a tumbleweed when using Deadeye, but I haven't found a video yet.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/6skl1t/mccrees_new_beach_ball_in_action/

I can't actually see this though because my iPhone won't display whatever kind of video it is and these are becoming way more common on Reddit lately.

Wanted to play some Overwatch today, but I'm so tired I got through like 3 matches doing terribly and just called it quits for tonight.

Current Summer Games status counting items from the last one:

0/7 new skins
10/12 previous skins
28/50 voice lines
38/44 player icons
11/16 victory poses
3/4 emotes
2/5 intros
22/30 sprays

Have 1/4~ of the currency I'd need to buy everything immediately. Got all the Lucioball non-Comp sprays yesterday too.

I've decided the worst thing in Overwatch is Ana in Mayhem.

On my team.

Nothing more annoying that an Ana in a corner some where not healing because she's trolling.
---

i always try to make sure we have a mercy cause I know ana won't do shit
---

I almost had an amazing clutch res with Mercy, but an enemy Soldier was using his ultimate so I died before I could pull it off.

Also I am really looking forward to Halloween coming back. There are just so many options for skins during it.

Oh hey I got Junkrat's skin

I can't decide if I like Victory Mercy more than Witch Mercy. I think the deciding factor may be Witch Mercy's unique voiceovers.
---

I'm definitely buying victory Mercy if I don't open her. That's the one I really want.
---

I hate Doomfist's charge soooooo much

They just announced Deathmatch. It's up on the PTR.

I started thinking that maybe I should buy all of the small Summer Event shit so I don't open them in boxes

but then at that point I may as well just use the fun bucks to get the actual costumes I want lol
---

I got my first Summer Skin but it was Genji's

dang
---

Genji's is nice at least

You can still het them in boxes depending. No dupes just means you won't get a dupe until you've gotten every item in a tier. If you were trying to game the system you would be best off buying non event items, but if you have every blue it doesn't mean you're gonna stop getting blues.
---

Doomfist is so busted in Mayhem, figuratively and literally. If the enemy team doesn't have a Sombra you're never gonna die save for Junkrat and D.VA ults, assuming you don't get cocky. At the same time, sometimes he just locks up and can't use abilities anymore thanks to a bug.
---

I will have every blue again soon, but then I can use the currency for skins so it's all good.

ughhh got nothing but fucking summer icons
---

jeff on deathmatch: you can pick whatever hero you want, and i guarantee nobody on your team is gonna complain about it

tbf, a smart Winston is also basically unkillable. Keyword is smart.

This is true, but Doomfist beats Winston, so Mayhem Winston has a counter there now.

I think Doomfist has ousted Tracer and Pharah as my favorite Offense character. Rocket Punch is so satisfying.

His punch seems to have some issues. I saw a video on Route 66 after the first checkpoint. A Doomfist was on the roof and used his punch and somehow hit a Genji moving forward into a wall in front of Genji instead of hitting him backwards. As far as you get sent flying back from it I don't think I have ever NOT been punched into a wall aside from being punched off the stage in general. There are so many walls in this game and his charge is so much easier to maneuver and score kills with than Reinhardt's.

beats Winston

lmao okay noob

He's a direct counter to Winston! That's the joke.
