[Kudo]

Got the white Mei costume.. Really want that D.Va but doubt I'll have time to grind loot boxes..

 

[Zasa]

Digging that Junk Rat skin

 

[Frumix]

Tracer needs to stop getting things.

 

[Paltheos]

Lúcio
New Hero Option: Allow Backwards Wall Ride
When enabled, allows Lucio to start wall riding while moving backwards.

!pots t'now ,pots t'naC

 

[Tabby]

Not a fan of anything this event. Oh well. It's free so I can't complain.

 

[Magnus]

I bought $20 of Lootboxes, got 4 of Roadhog's new epic Emote, and 2 of the same Mei Legendary (the white one). Got TONS of other dupes, those are just the ones that stuck out.

Might have the same probelm they had with the Christmas boxes, which lead to them giving a bunch more out for free?

I don't remember that issue for Overwatch, but it certainly happened with December's Hearthstone expansion.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Sigh continuing the shitty tradition of shitty free lootbox items

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Played a few rounds of CTF... it's not very good in this game.

Most FPS games find some way to screw up CTF, and let's be honest all but one of OW's brawl modes have been trash, particularly the seasonal ones. I'm calibrating my expectations for suck.

 

[KyleCross]

Tracer needs to stop getting things.

Not happening. She's the main character, Blizzard will always give her stuff.

 

[Chuck]

got the two skins I care about, Junk and Hog, only cost me 5 bucks!

 

[I-hate-u]

GG Anna

Her nerfs have been ridiculous


Seriously - I feel like every single balance update takes the last remaining bit of fun out of playing heals/support. Mercy is boring. Lucio has gotten boring. Now Anna is gonna get boring.

I LIKE support - but I like it cause I feel like I can make a big difference to a game.

She is still the faster healer in the game.

 

[jacobs34]

I'm guessing CTF will never be a ranked game type, just too many ways to cheese it for it to be fun.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Thanks to the free $10 from Sony I'm going to get some loot boxes.

But why does Mei get two more legendary skins tho 😒

 

[Triforce141]

Surprised there's no Legendary skin for Genji and Hanzo (they're Japanese, but D.VA's Korean and still got one), it would've been cool to see Hanzo's ult fire out those Chinese New Year parade dragons.

There's always Zenyatta, he's still a fun hero to play as; Symmetra got that rework not that long ago too.

 

[Rymuth]

I need that Reinhardt skin

 

[CryptiK]

because its a Chinese event and she is Chinese.

 

[Cheat Code]

CTF is so bad, holy shit.

Who thought this would work.

 

[Magnus]

Honestly a bit baffled at all the excitement for this roster of skins. What do people particularly love about them? They're so blah compared to all the previous holiday/seasonal ones.

 

[Stallion Dan]

CTF being both attack and defense at the same time is pretty dumb. Feel like it should have been round based

I like it, need attack and defend at once, and if a defence fails attackers have chance to intercept it.

 

[bender]

2nd box had a Tracer skin. Much better luck this time around than the Christmas event.

 

[Zackat]

They will be doing this event every year (they do in all their other games). There will be more skins next year.

People like the Asian motif and the Journey to the West ones are fucking great. I found the Xmas ones to be the worst. To each their own.

 

[Herla]

CTF is pretty fun, if you play Symmetra.

 

[LastMinuteHero]

Huh I thought ctf was good actually

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

There's two new achievements for the CTF mode:

Flagbearer
Win Capture the Rooster with a score of 3 to 0.

Cleanup Duty
Recover a flag in a game of Capture the Rooster.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Wow CTR sucks
0:0 the game
Takes way too long to pick up the flag.

No trophies again 😅

 

[Visualante2]

Sombra feels really important because of the health packs being so critical. Surprised we won a game without a Lucio.

 

[| Praxis |]

Those are some shitty skins.

NICE

 

[Royce McCutcheon]

Just won my first game after Dva nerf, it's touuuuuugh. I tried to solo a zen and he fucked me up so fast. 8 mech recalls which is insane for me. No more 1v6 kill support and fly away lol

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Played a few rounds of CTF... it's not very good in this game.

Noooooo.

I was gonna play it after getting some work done.

 

[Rainbow In The Dark]

Players can now equip up to 4 emotes, sprays, and voice lines from within the hero gallery.

This is the biggest news for me.

 

[Tunavi]

Fucking love the support for this game

 

[LiK]

Those are some shitty skins.

nah

 

[pizzacat]

Played a few rounds of CTF... it's not very good in this game.

Who would have thought a ctf game mode not working in a game where no one is on an even playing field :/

 

[Kyari]

I love the new Mei skins, hoping I can get one, but they uh ... nerfed her waistline a little with this one.

 

[TP]

In the handful of CTF matches i've played it's really fun and fast paced in the observatory but a snooze fest with nothing happening in the market

 

[Obliterator]

Not feeling CTF at all. Doesn't seem to work all that well with how they have it set up

 

[twobear]

i literally have gotten nothing but blues and whites from all my lootboxes for about three months while my friends rake in multi-legendary boxes every couple of weeks

 

[Imbarkus]

Armor halves damage from shots, up to a maximum of 5 damage reduction. With this nerf and her already giant crit hitbox, Dva is super squishy. She also had an 8% damage nerf based when all pellets hit, however you are now generally doing even fewer damage to smaller targets due to the increased pellet count and how the spread works.

Based on the PTR, DVa feels weaker now than at launch

Bummer. I'd rather have the slow shooting movement speed back than be squishier.

 

[frontovik]

So what's the next holiday event after CNY?

That Mercy skin looks so dull by the way.

 

[Stormhammer]

That Junkrat skin is the stuff of nightmares.

Are you mistaking Junkrat for Roadhog?

Also, k e k at the complaints of the D.va nerfs. sorry you can't 1v6 with ana support, i really feel 4 u

 

[Kremzeek]

Just won my first game after Dva nerf, it's touuuuuugh. I tried to solo a zen and he fucked me up so fast. 8 mech recalls which is insane for me. No more 1v6 kill support and fly away lol

exactly.

i'm glad they toned down DVa - with her armor and defensive matrix and flying away she was just too much of a beast (which is why everyone was playing her).

 

[Emerson]

Genuine question, why is it okay for every single game with skins to put all their characters in Chinese outfits and you never hear a word about cultural appropriation, but people briefly went apeshit about that Pharah skin?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Every game of CTF has been pretty much the same. Put Torb and Sym turrets all around the flag and have Sym guard it. Add in armor and shield generators and it's just really not very fun to try and get the flag.

 

[AzureFlame]

Nice, a new awesome game mode that will be removed soon.

junkrat and winston shall save the day

 

[Dark Ninja]

No Symmetra nerfs? Kill that character next Blizzard, thanks.

Why no Soldier skin.

Why another Mercy skin?

Its barely a color swap she already has a similar looking "skin"

And 1 junkrat too
