No, they're adding a ton of stuff to the regular loot pool.

This. Next week they're adding a new map, Blizzard World, and along with it a bunch of new permanent cosmetic items.
---

So if the sprays are an accurate predictor for the new skins, we're also getting catgirl D.Va, shirtless Lucio and clown Hanzo?
---

Has anyone been following the OWL? I never really cared about competitive OW but some people seem really into it.
---

I have never watched competitive OW.
---

closest thing i ever watch to competitive overwatch is the rare occasion when the funhaus guys upload a video.
---

I just know about it because there's a lot of talk about a player who got suspended from it.

And also this "c9" meme thing.
---

I can play a seemingly infinite number of quickplay matches without issue, but without fail my framerate goes to shit in the second round of any comp match.

I need a couple of you guys to get me out of bronze. Every game I get stuck as tank or healer and have to watch as my DPS(and obligatory Hanzo) do fuck all the entire match.

I remember working my way out of Bronze. Then the next season they saw fit to put me back into Bronze, I haven't played since then.

Good luck ganon!!!

Mainly playing D.Va, I was able to place into mid Gold with my cousin (mainly Reinhardt) and friend (mainly Moira). It can be rough when either the other team outplays you or randos are useless.

Finally got a deadeye quadra kill.
---

The update just downloaded but the servers are still down.
---

Got to look through about half the characters before I got kicked from server overload. Didn't really see anything that they didn't already show off. =/ As far as I could tell there are no new victory poses. Now that I get a better look at some of the new skins though, like Pharah and Reinhardt, they're pretty great. McCree's new skin however is pretty... bad. I know it's only an epic, but it doesn't look like any effort went into it. =/
---

The belt buckle is a skull

It's like McCreaper
---

"In Queue: 2000 players ahead of you"

It's worse than getting into the game on day 1 of an event.
---

So, any good strats for attack on Blizzard World yet?

Just like any other map, Hanzo and Widowmaker on attack, with McCree and Genji flanking. With Ana and Orisa standing in the choke. Guaranteed to not work, and cause people to get salty and blame everyone else for why they lost horribly.
---

So I keep seeing something about the next hero being a Vishkar operative called Sanjay, and he's a tank, but idk where people are getting this from. Just seems like wild speculation to me, unless I'm missing something.

He's a recurring comic character and there was what looked like hard light armour in the background of a comic panel. Also an Indian voice actor followed the account of a Blizzard casting director or something.

It's just speculation.

Nothing like losing 31 SR in a game where your team has a thrower and you have gold damage as Rein on a team with 4 DPS.

still hoping for jetpack cat.

"0 healing"

*checks*
21k healed.
YEAH RIGHT 0 HEALING.
---

Got this last night, was pretty proud of it.

And just got this. It feels wrong to be able to kill people through the payload like this. It just feels like I shouldn't be able to do this.

I'm starting to get annoyed by people picking Moira. She's a good hero, but it seems like 90% of the people that play her are playing her as a DPS, and neglect or outright ignore their healing abilities.
---

She's like Zenyatta. She needs to do both, and can't actually sustain heal unless she's also doing a lot of DPS.
---

Mercy and Junkrat nerfs are live.
---

So there I was, minding my own business in QP, when my teammate, a D.Va player who was absolute garbage was saying all the shit I was thinking about my teammates. And I was like "Wow! I'm a fucking asshole." I feel liberated. Like, I never want to play this game ever again.
---

Overwatch head lore dude recently declared D.Va was not a pro Starcraft player despite numerous pieces of info stating that she was.

So now in addition to recycling old lore we already knew about and not advancing the story in a year and a half they are now deleting old lore.
---

that's typical blizzard behavior tho.
---

Sounds about right.

Been ignoring Overwatch for a couple days cus FFXIV had a big update. The new raid tier is based on Final Fantasy VI. Bosses include Phantom Train, Chadarnook, Guardian and Kefka. It's awesome.

Yeah I get those all the time.

I recall one time I held off the final point mostly (not fully) by myself. I was the only one alive on my team at the end of it though. The rest of the team respawns and there's no enemies in sight. I'm sitting at 110 hp out of 200, yet no heals from the healer. She walked right by and threw out a random damage orb at nothing. I stand by her watching and waiting. 15 seconds later and 3 spams of "i need healing" I finally get healed. Good thing no other enemies showed up.

That's just messed up IMO. Literally the only one there at low hp and she can't be bothered to heal me. I was the only reason we didn't just lose. :/

Yeah, this is pretty much why I feel in team based games "Support" characters are made wrong solely by giving them any sort of damage capabilities.

Oh shit that new Widow skin

Widowmaker always has such fantastic skins.

Since when is February a high travel month?
---

In China it is, it's like the biggest migration of people world wide. Not so much in America.
