Overwatch Summer Games 2017 Trailer and Skins, live now

Hmm yep, gonna need that too. Taking their meme game to new heights.

Omg I need this in my life.

Also lol I'm watching a guy on another forum complaining about how the value of the previous years Summer Games items has been diminished due to their lowered price/being able to be purchased.

Yet at the same time he somehow spent more than $150 on that event as if the items were gonna be exclusive or something.

I say the more people that get the chance to obtain awesome event skins the better. I don't care if my rare skin isn't as rare anymore.

Now how about that Bastion Blizzcon skin Blizzard?

I said the same thing lol, especially the fact that those of us who brought boxes had rare/exclusive skins for a whole year, but he just keeps going on about how it diminishes the brand and how he feels personally slighted for being big enough of an idiot to blow $200+ on a single event that are cheaper now.

And in retrospect I do kinda regret not buying that Blizzcon skin when I had the chance, but also I literally never touch Bastion and won't ever have 100% completion due to the Top 500 sprays and some of the event mode sprays, so meh.

Boo on that guy. I spent my fair share of money too on loot boxes but I'm not gonna write a thread about how I feel slighted or offended that people have a chance to get it for free now. I want everyone to experience the wonder of Blackwatch Genji and the others. The more popular the brand, the better it becomes in my opinion. But good on you for saying the same thing haha!

I hope that one day Blizzard allows the Blizzcon skin to be obtained through loot boxes the same way that Oni Genji and Officer D.Va were.

I sort of feel like that sort of thing actually should stay exclusive. It says 'BlizzCon X' right on it, would be sort of silly to give it to people who didn't attend or have a virtual ticket for that con.

No problem at all with these other skins being brought back and made cheap though. Nihon Genji for 250 credits? Don't mind if I do.

Nope. Been trying for an hour, none of my friends either.

I seriously think the server is just broken or only letting handfuls of people in
I've had a couple login errors otherwise just been stuck in queue. Seems weird that they wouldn't increase server sizes for the event but then again this has been the first event where we haven't needed to download a patch for.

It's mostly my OCD/Perfectionist talking. It bothers the heck out of me when there's something I can't obtain. At least make it available to buy during Blizzcon this year please.

But I'm extremely glad that newer players or players that missed it last year are able to get the 2016 Summer Games skins. For a lower price too!
 
Are you bothered by top 500 sprays too? Gonna be playing a lot of lucioball, then?
Nah everything but the sprays that requires prerequisites. I know my skills when it comes to trying to unlock things that require me to win this many games or winning a specific way. That doesn't bother me cause I can't really improve with what little time I have.

But the rest of the sprays I do try to get, but they're at the bottom of the list of priorities.

I had to just stand there and watch as my coworker opened this box.
I mean GOOD LORD even the framing of what's where is perfect.

But hey, I got that sweet Symmetra voice line, right?

My friend opened her free box and also got the Mercy skin. Meanwhile the rest of us got the usual shit. (but at least it's not DUPE shit! so it's still an improvement!)
