Played some 3v3 to see the new maps. This Zenyatta refused to heal us so we died, then he was like "you guys fucking suck". I was sitting on half health for like 10 seconds and he didn't heal me. :P

I got it from the free loot box.

I assume everyone gets a free legendary.

Also Reaper's dance is so ass.

Three greys and a blue, eat a dick.

This was a rumour that went around for a while but it's not true.

Overwatch's anniversary is also the anniversary of Elliot Rodgers dat of retribution.

Got Soldier's and Bastion's skins from a box.


Now I remember why I stopped playing this game. People rage over everything in this game. When I have 7k healing done and silver damage on a team with 5 dps that are all flanking, and poorly at that, I'm confident when I say I'm not the problem, so stop claiming we're losing because there's 'no heals'.
---

All the Skins are leendary?, Great, that means we likely won't be able to get all the ones we want, Thanks Bliz, you really think of every one of your players, not.........Granted I haven't seen the new ones yet, waiting on the update to download, but still, I can bet there'll be a LOT that we want, but won't have hardly any chance of getting knowing our piss poor luck.....
---

I think it's like 51k coins to buy all skins and emotes this event. The events are just going to get more expensive. There's no incentive for Blizzard to make these things easy to get because their rarity pays the bills.

Got another one!

Yeah but at the same time, it can piss off or just annoy their fanbase, again, It makes it SEEM like they cater more to people who play a lot more often or those with money, than to those that either have other games to play, just don't play often, and those who can't afford to buy Loot Boxes over other, more important things.

Though, Honestly, aside from maybe a few dances, I think Sentai Genji, the Hanzo, the D.Va, The Tracer, and maybe one or two other skins might be the only ones we care about getting, if the boxes feel like being generous that is, lol.....

Edit: My guy Mayhem is......well, Mayhem, I forgot how nearly Broken Zarya is due to constant bubbles, let alone some Ult's being near useless due to the massive health increase, not complaining, really, No, just observations.

I got kicked from Overwatch because there was a quick update, all in the middle of the new 3v3s with my cousin and our friend. Joyous.

why did every single damn skin need to be legendary? I'm a little ticked off that reapers only gotten 2 event skins(Pumpkin And Shiver)

but more importantly after bothering with heroes of the storm to get officer dva I'm now presented with Cruiser D.VA(Aka 50's D.Va)as if the time i spent annoying myself with heroes of the storm should mean nothing now

Because play this game 24 hours 7 days a week to earn loads of coins, or just buy some boxes!.

One's like D.Va's should be legendary, One' like say, maybe Pharah's and Soldier's could do with bein Epic.

They don't make money from people who don't buy lootboxes. Whether they keep playing or not doesn't matter. It's that simple.

True, but at the same time, they could at least do something about the overwhelming amount of dupes you get, or at least make them worth more, It's ALWAYS exciting to get a Legendary........of one you already got, even though there are dozens of other legendaries you're missing.....Then again it's all down to the ever so common and hated RNG system.....

Speaking of, out of 30 boxes, 4 Legendaries, one being a Dupe, New D.Va, New Mei, Dupe Winston, New Hanzo's, few voice lines, couple dances, annnnnnd the rest being Sprays and Player icons, as usual, Got more of them and the dupes than new stuff, but that's to be expected I gues.....
---

when an event's not on nobody's buying loot boxes which is most of the time

so what do they do in the time span when an event is going on?

why should anyone care about loot boxes outside events

You'll only need them to grind for credits and that's it....buying them just to grind is stupid

Soldier's is legendary due to it's new and unique textures

Oh this livestream is not what I thought it was going to be. I was under the impression that Jeff Kaplan was supposed to make some big announcement. Not just some games of random streamers I don't care about.
---

OK, Apparently Junkrat's dance is real similar to one from Fresh Prince, and MEI'S IS THE HARUHI DANCE OH MY GOD, Now I REALLY want Mei's dance.....
---

Oh there was an announcement during the livestream. New heroes and new maps "on the horizon". New content every month.


Ehhh... There's already been new content every month. Since launch there has been at least 1 new hero, map, or event every month. So nothing new there. And they're always saying "new maps and new heroes soon". So really that was a none-announcement. :P

So let's try to guess what we're getting this year:
June - new map
July - new hero
August - Summer Games 2
September - new map?
October - Halloween Terror 2
November - new Hero?
December - Winter Wonderland 2
January/February - Year of the Dog?(Year of the Rooster 2)
March - new map?
April - Uprising 2
May - Anniversary 2
---

I would expect Uprising 2 to focus on a different lore event. I'd similarly expect Halloween 2 to have a different story with different costumes. That's just a guess though.
---

I wonder if we'll get permanent Lucio Ball after Summer Games 2.

January/February - Year of the Dog?(Year of the Rooster 2)

If they're going to allow past skins to be gotten in loot boxes they could probably just called the event "Chinese New Years". Or Zodiac or something.

Got my first legendary 8 loot boxes in and it's just coins

I hate this game

---

Definitely looks cooler when the sights are activated.

Opened 8 Loot Boxes before I went to sleep and I got the Mercy dance and Zarya skin.

All I really want in terms of skins is Tracer's. A bunch of the dances would be nice to get!
---

Just lost like 5 1v1s in a row.

Isn't blizzard supposed to put me against idiots after a certain point? Or is it using my normal MMR? Because that's hardly fair to a Rein and Mercy main.
---

Imma go wash my car, I'll be loading up Overwatch for loot boxes when I get back!

Probably just play arcade or quickplay if anyone wants to queue up!
---

9 losses in a row. box had a legendary, 2 purples and a blue. the purples were coins and a torb emote I already owned. the blue was an event player icon I already owned and the legendary was a non-event hanzo skin.

I aint even mad brah.
---

I only played one 1v1 and i won (that sentence is weird) simply because I outsmarted my opponent. Just pick the character that has the advantage over the other two characters and it's not bad. I know that's obvious but I don't know if people think about it because my opponent let himself be countered every game.

I have exactly 2000 SR (or rank points, whatever). SHUT IT DOWN, NO MORE GAMES.

You know, I feel the 1v1 would be a lot better if the picks weren't the same on both sides. Instead just show what 3 characters the other person can pick, then you pick from your own random choices.

I'm pretty much done with comp until next season. I swear I get all the people who are only playing because it's an event and I get mostly losses during events.
---

I don't believe that if you win-lose-win-lose or keep losing that the game is placing you where it thinks you should be. My team either stomps or we get stomped; it's clear all of these players are not in the same skill level.

I was near Diamond last season and now I'm on a 4 game losing streak in gold because my goddamn teammates REFUSE to heal if I don't do it, and they have no idea what team comps are supposed to look like. This is atrocious. I needed 22 points to get back to platinum and then I got stuck with this golden bow Hanzo player two games in a row that did literally nothing and spammed "Thanks" all game. I'm so tilted right now.

I know no one likes to listen to complaining but I needed a place to vent. Sorry.

Honestly, if I'm in a team with someone who uses only one hero and doesn't do well, let alone also spamming, I don't go into queue for a few minutes in hopes I don't get put in their team again.

Matchmaking seems to be atrocious in any game that's based on team vs team.

I waited 3 minutes but that wasn't enough, I guess

lol. oh. That really sucks. I know I've had that happen at least a few times before. Maybe they also waited 3 minutes. Or they put you on their preferred players list? Which I'm not even sure if that function works. I definitely want a function that makes it less likely for a player to be put on my team.

Free weekend begins today!

Piece of advice from what I've seen, Don't bother picking a medic in Mayhem, it'll be like putting a defenseless rabbit in front of hungry savage wolves, you will be targeted INSTANTLY, I get the purpose, but when you go after the Medic so hard, and EVEN WASTE YOUR ULTIMATE TO KILL THAT ONE MEDIC, and then get slaughtered by that Medic's allies, you didn't accomplish much in the long run......

When I play Mayhem, I've been picking only Mercy. Actually works out well. I admit I'm only doing that to practice frantic targeting with her though. While the healing doesn't do that much, since there's just so much damage being thrown around, it does charge her ult quite fast. The damage boost is also very good if you can't just do healing.
