Wait, Jeff is saying the Lucio skin's song adapts to the skin...
...Did they add Epic Sax to Lucio?!

Lucio's new skin have new jazz inspired healing/speed songs
Finally a Pimp Lucius costume.
Speed song has a different startup with some loud trumpet (and then goes back to the regular speed song), while I think the healing song has a completely different song.
I love this skin so much.

Jfc , that alleviates the whole strategy of doing counter picks and just essentially turns it into play a random character. Such a dumb change, adding single capture point would make 3v3s much more interesting IMO.

First box legendary

Better than nothing lol
But holy shit can we talk about blizzards love of self healers in 1v1? Its an absolute drag on the match. I've seen ana so many times its nuts, mei, hog, soldier, uhg

That's the only explanation.
Should've made her all armoured like Iron Man or something.

I don't think the new 3v3 and 1v1 modes are permanent defaults, but just for the event. Afterwards you'll probably have to select those rules for custom games or something.

Thats what the video made it seem like on youtube. The hero lockout is just for the event.

glad I'm not the only one. they clearly have no idea what to do with Zarya anymore and it hurts.
As someone who loves Mystery Heroes, this sounds amazing to me.
You still have to pick your character, just once one team wins they can no longer use the character they won the round with, and it stays like that till the games over. And you don't even really have a lot of time to pick a new character, let alone discuss it. It just limits your freedom in an ARCADE game mode, where things like "no limit" exist.

Opened my free box, got the Green Ranger skin for Genji that a colleague desperately wants. I can't play Genji. Typical.

What changed?
SargerusBR
I love Pokken!
If you win a round the team can't use the same characters
They added character lockout and a point in the middle of the map for overtime. Winning team of the round can no longer use the characters they won the round with for the rest of the game, losing team can still select the same characters until they win a round.
If i use roadhog and win can my teammate use roadhog 2nd game?

It's meant to shake things up, and I love it.
Everything you're listing as a negative of the mode I'm seeing as a positive.
I like this change
THIS SHIT IS FRESH, HOT DAMN.

1v1 lasts too long. It was better at 3 wins. 5 is too much :/
They need to cut out the intros at least.
I understand why people like the change and all, I really do. It's just from my perspective, all Blizzard did was take your freedom. As someone who primarily only plays 3v3s, it's just a bummer. I liked being able to play certain characters anytime I want, unless someone else is playing them. 3v3s are laid back and are meant to be treated that way. This just makes winning less fun because now you can't use your main after one round. Sure, running into a team comprised of Soldier, Mercy, and Roadhog means you're going to have a bad time. But by then forcing the other team to change characters also takes the challenge and reward away from beating them the next round.

I think this event is bloated for a timed anniversary event with no theme that it just feels really off for a 3 week event only. These random skins should be in base game.
Anyways, hope I get Symmetra's anniversary skin.

Exactly, Roadhog + Ana/Mercy setup is picked in every 3v3 match i play.

I actually really like the lockout. Sure, you can't just play with what your good ate, but honestly it makes matches far more interesting when the teams can't go with the meta picks the whole game. By taking away the winners ability to use the more suitable heroes, you create a game where both teams use very different things I haven't actually seen in 3v3.

Oh, so it makes it even tougher to get the newer skins cause the old ones throw off the odds even more😂

I am a Lucio main for life, love the new skin.
But I am also a Super Sentai fanatic. I'm now learning Genji just for the Kamen Rider skin. Damn you, Blizzard.

Fuck... do you want me to buy your game or not, Blizzard? :/
Seriously though... GOTY edition is sitting in my PSN cart right now... I figure I'd check out this trailer to see if it pushes me to the Check Out button, but then I see that shit...
I forgot about that actually... has the cost of items changed at all? Do the older skins still cost what they did in the early months? Does the currency come faster now?

You joke, but I always hate item counts as a bullet point because usually players have a really bad concept of item counts.
Like when you realize that every character for a gold player icon, a spray, a dance emote, and a voice line, all of a sudden you're at 96 items pretty quickly.
That's assuming each character only gets 1 of each.
Destiny was always really bad about that, too.

Didn't you just say:
It seems you don't want to play the game at all, just whine about stuff .
