Board 8 > So Overwatch is getting an update today

(+) Yeah! (+)

New skins, emotes, Highlight Intros, etc

I think Blizzard world is droppin today too?

make sure to save any recorded highlights you have on queue!

also, if you haven't already, Blizzard gave every player 100 Overwatch League fun bux and you can redeem one Overwatch League Team color for one character with it

get on that
---

Expecting to see millions of cat D.Vas

I just want that new Reaper skin!
---

keep in mind that we should be getting an event soon-ish, as Lunar New Year is on February 16th, so spend your currency accordingly

What sucks is i got McCree's Dallas Fuel outfit and then his new one is basically the same thing, but with the cool deadeye logo instead of the Fuel logo. I wasted my fuckin Overwatch fun bux!

I got the Black/Gold Orisa skin, which doesn't conflict with her new (not great) legendary
---

Also I wonder if Mei is getting a new highlight intro

I think shes getting her outfit from her Origin Movie
---

Only new intros I saw are for Ana, Bastion, Soldier and Winston even though you almost never see Ana get PotG

I'm pretty sure they revealed everything!

ah, I was not aware that was everything
---

what I love about Bastion's new PotG intro is that it will almost always be followed by a Bastion sitting in a corner picking off people
---

Damn the Mercy nerf wasnt included in this update sadly

I can barely see anything in the corners of the last point of Blizzardworld.
---

yea, its REALLY hard if you're on attack

and theres lots of corridors and closed spaces
---

when I saw "6 vs 6" my mind immediately went to Elimination

I was not expecting to have to take a point
---

Just grouped into a random game with Grand Kirby - we won =)
---

I don't even care about Overwatch as a game anymore

I just want the catgirl goth loli Dva fanart

Yeah, I wondered about that! I recognized the name, but since you didn't join my game in a group I wasn't even sure if it was you.

Nice ult by the way.

Blizzard world hits me in the nostalgia nutsack
---

I really want this map to be a real place I can go. So much fun just seeing everything.
---

As per usual I got nothing but garbage on my weekly loot boxes. And with all the new sprays and player icons, they guaranteed is going to keep happening even longer now
---

Blizzard World feels specifically designed for attack Torbjorn and it's amazing
---

I swear i only get put on attack in Blizzardworld
---

tracer is very fun on defence in blizzard world
---

I've opened four boxes since the update and gotten two legendaries!

but they're lame old legendaries (jester Junkrat and sugar skull Sombra)
---

Just bought Philadelphia black/orange Orisa, but feel like I wasted them because I'm 100% getting her new one

Also really want Roadhog's but I just spent 3000 on his winter one so I'll wait

Blizzard World is great but I've had no luck with teams on it, think I'm like 2 for 9 right now.

Last match we lost the point in overtime after the enemy Reaper killed four people with his ult in overtime, and our Mercy immediately ragequit and screwed us
---

Ive only played the map a couple times, but that first choke seems really rough with a good defensive team. It sometimes feels as hard to break as Hanamura A since it doesnt seem like theres really many ways leading past it.

It's weird because there are so many side paths that are easy to get around, but if the enemy team goes full defense and covers all of them then good luck.

That said, I chalk that up to players not really knowing the map that well yet. I see too many people keep trying to plow forward through the gates when it's not working out at all.
