I am noticing that a lot of people do just spam the ratings, I keep getting "shot caller" for simply being the only one with a mic
Its 150xp extra per game.
Nothing else.
But there's harsh punishment if you're an asshole now.
Large number of reports means your rating goes back to start. When the game is a bit skewed towards LFG now, that helps a bit keep the morons out.
I'm not sure missing out on 1-2 lootboxes is a punishment.
You can limit groups in LFG to certain endorsement levels.
At my SR there are almost no LFG groups.
Its kinda annoying.
Not to mention that I do think that endorsements levels also affect matchmaking in general. I've been grouped up with mostly Lvl 2 and Lvl 3 players with the occasional Lvl 1 for my last dozen or so matches.
And while it will never completely filter out dickweeds it does seems to be raising the bar for them to get into the "Cool Kids Club"
Atleast, those have been my experiences so far.
What SR is that?
Masters
I hear GM is even worse.
Bunch of crybabies that have little team-sense and rely entirely on mechanical skill to climb solo queuing, out of fear of getting into a 6stack and then being steamrolled because lack of coordination compared to the other team.
Not my words, Jayne's.
Two questions.
What is the actual point of Symmetra's teleport?
It only teleports you about 10ft
And two
Can we still unlock special loot boxes next year
I really want the Archive stuff but it's not available now
getting out of zarya ult, repositioning heroes that dont have movement abilities to places they otherwise couldnt get to (bastion, torb, etc.)
The only thing I've really seen Symmetra's new teleport really useful for is maybe a second of shock from, for example: "Oh shit, Bastion can't normally get there!"
You could open a few flanking routes on specific maps, but I find it so rare you can do that effectively
Besides getting people faster into the frontline, you can also get people out of the frontline. Think people who are stuck in a Zarya grav for example.
Furthermore, you can now teleport a lot more things like Torb's turret, Bastion in Sentry mode, D.va bomb, Junkrat Riptire, and even your own turrets.
Shameless crosspost and self-promotion:

I really like her teleport. His old turret was nothing more than a slower Mercy rez that can be destroyed. It's a great utility now to flank and push.
Buff Graviton to be nearly escapable
It becomes Domininat and overpowered in the Meta
Make a hero who can let everyone escape it
Never change Blizzard.
Consistency is something Blizzard really excels at.
Moira and Reaper can shapeshift into a purpleblack smoke and walk out of a disturbance in the fabric of space-time that was caused by a creation of the finest engineers of Russia's leading mech construction company that aided in the reconstruction of an entire country in the aftermath of the Omnic destruction. Yet they can't escape some bolts and scrap metal that were thrown on the ground by some Aussie explosion freak....
And don't get me started of self-damage by explosive weapons...
Almost every new hero has had a projectile that is ignored by Defense Matrix and Reflect.
Overwatch is a clusterfuck
Moria and Bridgette are HORRIBLE to play against
Christ, I know I'm fairly new to this but they feel horrendously overpowering
Finally got out of bronze, praise Jeff
Like who???
All of Ana's projectiles are deflectable and matrixable
Sombra's Translocator?
Orisa's orb is deflectable and matrixable
Doomfist has no projectiles
this is already more than half so "almost every" is kind of out the window
Moiras orbs are deflectable and matrixable
Brigitte has no projectiles
Wrecking Ball has no projectiles
Why is there such a volatile tone to your post? Jesus, its just an observation calm down.
But ok, lets do this then shall we?
Ana:
The Nano boost dart. I dont see this one talked about a lot but its a magical "Not projectile" entity that ignores all abilities and obstacles to go off. The reason I find htis interesting because we have a lot of other projectile ultimates ( Graviton, Dragon Strike, Blizzard) that don't get so lucky.
Sombra:
Translocator. You got it.
Orisa:
Her Shield is a projectile until it deploys. Yes I do think it be incredibly oppressive to Orisa if it did get blocked, but its an inconsistency none the less.
Doomfist & Moria don't actually have anything, they're good.
Brigitte:
The Armor pack buff/heal. Its another one of those magical auto aiming "Not Projectile" entities. I find it odd this cant be blocked considering Ana's primary healing can be.
Especially when this is an auto aiming 150hp instant boost. It be nice if you could block a flankers life line they get for fucking up from Brigitte, but powercreep says no.
Wrecking ball:
His ultimate shoots out mines that collide with the floor before arming. If the hero had come out before hand I actually wouldnt be surprised if these could be matixed before they touch the floor much like Junkrat mine.
Not volatile, I just find it funny the amount of straws you grasp at to complain about this game.
Nano Boost is not a projectile. Ana shooting the dart is for visual effect. It goes straight to the character to you select. They can even walk around a corner afterwards and it will still nano them. You're even given a targeting icon that snaps to the character because. Having it not be visually represented by a projectile would not change the ability at all
Translocator and Orisa shields aren't weapon projectiles, they are utility abilities, and them being thrown is part of their utility deflecting/matrixing them would be broken. Saying that this is inconsistent is semantics and nothing more.
Brigittes armor pack is the exact same situation as Ana's nano boost.
Wrecking Ball's mines are stationary entities. Them rolling out and setting up is, again, visual effect, and if the animation wasn't there it wouldn't change the ability at all.
I'm sorry but this is some of the most nitpicky baby whining I have seen since, well I guess everyday in the TF2 section but still. Wowwy you need to take a break if that stuff actually bothers you lmao
Genji can reflect Soldier's heal pod, but not Winston's barrier. Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves for such inconsistency. smhtbhfam
At a certain point you either play the game or you don't
Just calling out inconsistency for inconsistencies sake.
Doesn't bother me at all really, games just a clusterfuck with unpredictable interactions without memorization. I actually understand why some of the shit is the way it is for a balancing perspective.
Not sure why everyone here thinks I'm raging about this.
Asking again.
Can we still unlock special loot boxes next year
I really want the Archive and anniversary stuff but it's not available now
Event boxes always appear for the next corresponding event. You will be able to get both batches of old Summer cosmetics during the Summer event here soon, as well as the new things.
