From the things I really want, I'm just missing one of Sombra's voice lines and Mercy's dance, although I've been unlucky this event, as I have gotten, from about 30 boxes:
* Sombra's dance
* McCree's dance
* D-Va's dance
* Bastion Buggy
I'm glad there's no Legendary Skin I really want this time, but I fear that there will be one during the Summer Games that I'll want, so I don't really want to spend any coins.
I'll be grinding all weekend though, be either coins or the drops I want, I want to amass as much gold as I can for the next event.

Yea this is the worst ive done as well. Probably 40-50 boxes and I've gotten 2 event skins. Both of them within the first 20 boxes.
Yay, got my third Legendary non-event skin. So far only one from the event.
Thanks Blizz, love your loot boxes <3
And that's the only one I got, which is also my favorite.
Now I REALLY want Lucio's. It's his only skin that's not garbage for me.

This event for sure has the lowest drop rate/ most dupes I've ever seen. Sitting on 1 skin as well despite playing a lot every day since the event started
Luckily the one drop I got was for my main D.Va so I'm not too salty

I'm having such bad luck with these loot boxes. I just want Symmetra's anniversary skin, but the game just wants to give me Mei sprays.
So far between my 2 accounts (1 I main hitscan DPS, the other projectile)
- Hanzo on both
- Tracer on hitscan
- Pharah on projectile
I suppose that breakdown is decent...but I spent $60 on boxes and played ~15 hours each of the past 2 weekends. The drop rates are seriously shot, or I have terrible luck.
Really want Green Ranger Genji, 50s waifu D.Va and 76...but I'll likely end up having to buy them on the last day with coins.

Want DVa skin and Tracer dance.
I got Tracer skin.
I got Tracer skin.
I'm confused... why would you have 2 different accounts for different kind of characters? Where's the advantage in that? All it seems to do to me is costing twice as much money and you have to work twice as much to get stuff you want.
Might play on two different systems. Friends play on one but he prefers the other.

She got nerfed a bit back but she still slays if you know how to use her properly
He specifically said 1 account for "hitscan dps" and 1 for "projectile", so it's because of characters, not systems. I hope it's not just because of unimportant stats lol.
You talking about the same D.Va just laying waste to dudes along with Winston in comp?

Yup. The drop rates in this event feel really abysmal, since the beginning I've only got one event skin.
And it was Pharah, the shit that should've been an Epic to begin with. And then today I open a box with a legendary in it and it's Yeti Mei. smh.
I don't know. I've been trying to use her in Lockout and she just gets melted in an instant. The shield barely does anything.
It should be noted I'm talking about the console version. No idea if she's much better on PC.
Yeah but the defense matrix refilling makes her powerful in other ways too. That thing can ALWAYS be up.

Got the Mei skin and Bastion dance! I think I need like 6 more skins left and a ton of dance emotes to go.
I have 7,655 credits so far.

Fair enough. Also Zenyatta is super strong. Can 1 shot Soldier 76 with his charge up. Maybe that's always been possible but again, rarely play these days so I can't always remember.
Ya, a fully charged shot from Zen does a maximum damage of 230 (it's capped, so even if all orbs hit the head it's still max damage of 230). It can instantly kill all squishies except Mei and Reaper (who have 250hp).
His most recent buff was to remove the random spread his orbs had, so his aim is much more consistent than it used to be.

Key with D.Va is to play mid range and focus on dealing as much consistent damage to as many people as possible. She's not great for solo kills or charging recklessly but her Damage over time if you have decent accuracy cam be insane due to her never having to reload. Focus on just getting as much health down for your teammates to help finish people off as possible
Okay this isn't funny anymore. WTF is this shit, Blizzard??
Seriously have they done some shit to the looting system? i can't remember being this unlucky before in previous events.
Edit: and before someone says play more... i play this game a lot.

Not seeing what's wrong tbh, that seems like the usual lootbox. You're at a pretty high level so you are probably getting a lot of dupes, currency acumulates fast.
Well the thing is i try to play this game a lot, especially during events so i already got tons of lootboxes but not many skins, the only event skins i got so far are Soldier, Mei and Hanzo... that's it. Like i said i can't remember an event before being this unlucky, maybe they really secretly lowered the % chance for a legendary skin.
And about the dupes giving currency, that's pretty much nothing. One spray or player icon gives only 15 currency... that's an absolute joke when a legendary skin costs 3k.

The dupes are coming thick and fast with double xp. I'm almost at 10,000 coins saved from all these stupid dupes and legendary coin boxes.
That was her nerf a while back. They switched her health and armor so she dies quicker. But it's been that way for a bit. Nothing has changed recently. You have to be smarter about when to be aggressive now. Her defense matrix is still one of the best abilities in the game and will always make her a good character tho.
I'm a pretty damn good hitscan player (3750 SR high last season), but after switching to PC from PS4 in December, I hadn't played at all on projectile heroes.
Trying to play even quick play with my MMR was frustrating, since I'd be going up against high master or even GM Genji/Widow/etc.
Made a new account to start fresh and work on projectile only. I don't consider $40 for an account that much...I mean, I spent $60 on silly ass RNG loot boxes and built myself a 2k+ PC.
The joys of being single and decently well employed.
That is the point for you to pay for lootboxes.

After seeing Soldiers event skin close up, I have to admit that its pretty good. It has a lot of nice detail that I didnt initially notice. The best skin for this event really.
