2900 something, but I'm a little out of practise after been away for 2 months so expect I'll place lower
Lol, it's funny to read the subreddit today and see all the people complaining about the roadhog nerf.

I...holy shit...ok I wonder if this works on ps4
Thanks for all the healer posts, I learned a lotI found the Mercy Pharah combo on my own actually, thought I was being clever :lol Switching to Mercy have turned so many losses into victories so far. Gonna have to get back on the Zenyatta train though, sounds like fun now!
Wait what happened to Zen?

Well, he was Roadhog's easiest target by far. He still is, but I guess people are assuming there will be fewer Roadhogs?
Of course Reaper buffs mean Zenyatta has even less of a chance against Reaper than he already did.
I was able to try something similar with my XBO controller with the PC version, & people lost their minds that a "console scrub is wrecking them".
I'm sure you can produce similar results with the console versions.

I hope this patch kills off all the try hard 0 team coordination roadhogs that over extend and try to flank die then screw the team over giving the other free meter and making the fight 5 v 6

jesus christ do they even pay attention to ptr, this was posted 11 days ago and has almost 500k views
really between hog, reaper, the new map and my "golden" lootbox all being shitty today plus burnout from the event (and only getting 1 skin lmao) I'm the closest to uninstalling I've been since I got the game

First impressions I don't like the new map
I liked Season 4. It's better than... whatever this is.

whats wrong with the golden lootbox? no dupes and guaranteed legendary.

because my legendary was a worse recolor for a skin i already have for a character I don't use anymore and the rest was trash
On the plus side, this is the most fun I had with ol' pig face.

Whoa. Bizarrely good luck with my golden loot box. I opened it and I got... 4 new items! Not a single duplicate. This is remarkable considering I'm over level 700! I don't think I've had a non-seasonal box with all new items since the first few months of the game. The new items are about what you'd expect though: Legendary Sombra skin + 2 Sombra sprays + a common Orisa skin.

Map is kinda meh. Content drip on new maps has been far too slow, and this was not worth the wait.

That's by design. The box is not supposed to give you any dupes afaik. Unless you have everything in the game somehow, then the universe just breaks i guess.

It just makes it more disappointing

My guess is if you have everything the box just gives coins.
Indeed. Guess I'm putting the game down for a while, again. The lack of any meaningful updates has been very disappointing. Overwatch is a one-trick-pony in a lot of regards, so there isn't much they can add beyond maps and new characters. With the way they've been handling events, I'm not really feeling compelled to do anything when there isn't one running. A new map in what is probably my most disliked category is something I can pass on for now.
Ive played like 6 or 7 games on the new map so far and still queuing up for more
Honestly, first point looks and feels like a Halo map. 2nd point is like... well... whatever
This map would be absolutely fantastic if it were a Team Deathmatch map, but unfortunatey its 2cp. I dont really have any clue of where youd want to hold as a defender except on the point itself. Im curious to see how the players work out how to attack it or defend it. Lots of areas seem superfluous and im not sure why I would even walk in those directions

The choke for point a is about 30 yards past the point, where the reds can only enter from 2 hallways. On point B it seems to be more Volskaya - right on the point, or the upper walkway/rafters.

I'm digging horizon so far guys. It's crazy how wide open both capture points feel.
The low gravity mode is a hot mess.

Played 5-6 times on the new map
-never won on attack
-never lost on defend
-never won on attack
-never lost on defend
This is the opposite of my experience. Nobody seemed to have a clue what to do on defense; I had a very close 22 minute 4-3 where almost the entire game was spent contesting B.

On defend that choke on the first point is so good with sniper/torb/shield your team can just chill on the point and pick off the attacking team usually staggering them in the process
Defending on Horizon A. This Hanzo on my team is lit, and establishes it early, picking two attackers on the first push within five seconds of each other. I, on Mercy, resolve to pocket this Pro Hanzo whenever possible.
I flit off to heal my tank, and when I turn back to him he's at half health and dropping. I swoop in just as he fires off the dragons, hook up my heal beam and get a 31 fire assist as the dragons wreck the red Mercy. My beam can't heal through a Junkrat and a Torb's focus fire, so Hanzo goes down.
I instantly rez him - and him alone - and hook up the blue beam. Ching, there goes Torb, ching, there goes Junk - smooth as silk. I get 35 and 33 fire for the assists.
I'm sure of this, because Hanzo did not get PotG for that display - I did, and I've watched it three times trying to figure out how three assists and a rez (35 + 33 + 31 + 50 = like 150 fire) equal 3 near-100% picks (like 300 fire).
Like I'm all for me getting PotG, but not for saying "that guy is gonna' win the game for us," and being right.

They should just axe PTR at this point if they just ignore it. What a crock of shit.
