I'm pretty satisfied with my event loot so far:
1x Tracer skin
2x Widow skin
1x Bastion skin
DVa Intro
Soldier Emote
Sym, Lucio, Genji Victory Pose.
Lucio "Boop!" voice line
If I don't get it, I'm just gonna buy the McCree skin at the end. Don't really care about anything else.
There should really be a way to filter the hero gallery for event stuff, btw.

Then the loot boxes you get from the grind only give you Mercy skins.
Indeed good games everyone.
Whats the best way of dealing with a Bastion/Sym/Torb Combo platter? That combination has defeated me many times and I have difficulty coordinating a team counter around it. It always feels like if I kill one, the other kills me on the side. Our teams should counter them in theory, but it rarely seems to work out.
Im jealous I'm heading the other direction towards gold
Depends on how they are entrenched I guess (Rein/Orisa and healers would be annoying), but it sounds like a Zen Discord along with a diver or two going in at the same time should be ok with dealing with that?
Or if we are talking ults, EMP alone would f*ck them up bad. Send the rest of the team in during that time and one should have the upper hand if ults are in play. Bastion is stuck in walking mode, and nearby Torb turret, Symm sentries and shield generator would all be down. And if those are farther away and out of EMP range, Sombra (or Tracer) should be able to mess them up beforehand.
Having similar sr doesn't mean one team wont get rolled. Sometimes you'll be on the other team.

I thought it was just me, yea team chat is definitely fucked tonight
Sr is performance based.
Team Chat is a mistake.

Dropped back to 3080. I'm done with this game. Too many trolls/throwers. No fun anymore.
You ask someone to switch, and they just straight up throw the game. Literally playing with toddlers.

Have no clue how someone/stacks think throwing games is amusing.

I feel stupid for thinking that as I ranked up/got paired with higher ranked players in solo queue, they'd be more knowledgeable at the game. But nope, they still like to trickle in one by one, and when it comes to overtime they start backing away from the objective.

we should get another female hero. this time dps. or a female hanzo type of hero.
We need a Hero that can stop people from tossing the game. :/
The last three heroes post-launch have been female doe.

Finished my comp games and got 2633. Looking to play some more tonight. I have 3015 coins and need 3,700 before the event ends to get that mercy skin and dva intro.
Jeff is too good for this game.
But seriously, why are there so many people now that are purposely throwing matches? I thought that's a thing that happens near the end of the season, not mid-way through it.
I think most people have stopped caring about rank and smurf accounts are a plague.
I guess 3 female heroes(one being DPS) wasn't enough for you?
Robots have genders too!
Dunno, I've actually noticed it going down in frequency on Xbox recently. It happened the other night but we won 5v6 in a three map sweep. It was glorious. Only time Ive won a 5v6 tho when I'm on the 5 side.
We had someone who joined team chat the other day, said "I'm so pissed after my last match, I'm just playing Hanzo, fuck this," and of course he did jack shit the entire time. So charming. Oh, and console STILL does not have a report function.
Back when there was free trials and when my RL friend tried ow, I specifically played on my fresh (0 level) alt to play with him. I learn from first hand when I got on PC and played with my friends. We get match with players that definitely higher than level 10 and atleast somewhat experience (wasnt really a problem for me). Then I would get low level (under 20) when i solo qp.
Anyway, so playing on a fresh alt guaranteed most of the match we team up on were below level 20. I was just messing around doing torb, hanzo, junk. Was messing around didnt do bullying type of gameplay. Though occasionally i see some1 had on the other team had friends joining their low lv mates to get easy game and thats when I jump in to punish the other high level guy lol.
I think if they start hunkering down at the point because of 1% tick, some1 should get junkrat to blow them off the point. I remember yesterday or the day before some1 was mentioning about that. (couldn't get just few % in because of the other team hunkering down at point?)
@Discord, stop being junkracist!

Hanzo's scatter arrow is the one constant and never changing one there, truly it is the essence of the worst!
Seriously though when you lose like 400 health as Winston to that while tesla tickling a Hanzo...
I was playing with a Gaffer who was legit new to the game and was only lvl 12. Ended up against obvious smurf accounts judging from their names like HanzoM41N who was playing Hanzo and of course, they were destroying our team and doing things no new player can do at low levels. Not the first time I encountered smurfs while playing with low level guys. The MMR from me will just end up getting us matched with those guys. Makes me not really want to play with low lvl buddies cuz it'll ruin their experience with stomps.

It's the only move in the game I still consistently yell out "Bullshit!" on.
Had the same thing happen to me when I was playing with a friend who had just gotten the game. We were a 3-stack and two of us were 100+ and the third was like 10 at highest. And we were clearly getting matched with smurfs who were wrecking us which was super annoying to try and teach the new person.
thats why you should play on a fresh alt. atleast base on my experience, the first 1-10 level the game usually give you a room with bunch of lv 1-10 too. and on the bright side, majorly of them are new and the low lv/new gaffer can enjoy the first few level of fighting against some1 similar. the hidden mmr for qp starts picking up once you hit near lv10+
Maybe in the future. We also had Optimus and the next match was against a GM Genji. Lost the first match but we won the second match when I was Zarya so that was a good win. Very sweaty but it was really fun against a tough group of randoms. Felt like Comp.
Yep.
Lol. What is going on
when I joined that midgame numbani, we could had won that defense. I joined and played rein and stoped them from reaching 2nd point. if only owzer was healing me >.>
their monkey was feeding me the whole time lol. luv it!
fair warning who play winston, if you go up against an rein that aint afraid to fight back, just leap away. you wont win against a rein >.> unless he's low hp for your tesla to tickle him. and please, dont primal rage and think you can take down a full hp rein. that's just feeding...

I think they patched McCree's flashbang to be a bounce grenade? Almost every time I use it the enemy bounces off to the side several feet. :s I don't understand why momentum should be carried into a stun.
