Overwatch - She who has the information, has the power - Games

This is it. I stopped playing competitive because of all the unbelievable brainfarts on my team every second game and now this shit happens in quickplay. Just a while ago had a game with a pair of mccree and widow lvl300+ with ZERO aiming skills or even understanding of what is going on. And when I told them nicely about other heroes if they're doing poor with those two - "stfu noob i only play mcree". Fuck them. Fuck Overwatch community. Fuck everything.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;50822729]whats the original source on this[/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/LNxCvVA.png[/img] From the video "Janelle Monae - Cold War [Official Music Video]" apparently.

How does Pharah not have an Egyptian flag themed skin? Seriously.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50822776]How does Pharah not have an Egyptian flag themed skin? Seriously.[/QUOTE] A lot of heroes were left out on the flag-themed skins. Which is weird, as it's literally just recolors. Shouldn't be that hard to do.

Widow's flag skin reminds me of Pepsiwoman

Yeah, speaking of which, how did every character not get a skin? Like come on, that's just lazy

overwatch please stop [t]http://i.imgur.com/CQnULIe.png[/t]

I also don't get a lot of the new voice lines, they don't really have anything to do with summer spots. I guess they were just filler content for the boxes.

They're going a bit nuts with the Sombra stuff, not only does she appear in the video briefly, and there's that code, but now people are finding compass directions in every character specific shot in only the NA version of the Olympics trailer. This is weirdly huge for one character

Meh, this Olympics event is boring, who even cares about Luciob-- [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/449617453792976603/AB6D743EB19F2047D8C20929C550F8E862F92C93/[/t] [B][I]USA USA USA[/I][/B]

Jeff also mentioned before the Ana trailer that we hadn't found all her hints or appearances yet.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;50822008]she looks like trash and her design doesn't fit her personality at all, she was clearly designed solely to appeal to people on tumblr and the summer version is better in every way please direct all complaints regarding this post to [URL="twitter.com/garrynewman"]twitter.com/garrynewman[/URL][/QUOTE] To appeal to people on Tumblr Fuckin lol

[img]https://b.catgirlsare.sexy/qUBc.png[/img] :why: Yes, because fucking up half of the event by locking items behind boxes when you have an in-game currency system, and then having the other half of the event as a brawl that no one cares about means it has been "well received."

It's shitty what they've done but like, they're just skins also wasnt the brawl what people wanted, a custom themed, fun sized map

I wonder if we'll end up with a Canadian hero one day....

"Spend money, get cases, get duplicates, get in-game currency, can't use the in-game currency to buy skins, spend money, get cases, repeat." is kind of scummy.

Anything that's only obtainable via RNG and only for a limited time is objectively bullshit. "b-b-but is only skins bro why u heff to be mad?? :^)" I'll stop being mad when Blizzard stops acting like I didn't buy a full-priced game. Hell, I'm completely willing to pay real money for this shit. Set up an actual fucking store and I'll gladly buy that Junkrat highlight intro. Or maybe implement trading. Or crafting. Or [I]fucking anything[/I]. Oh, but then you wouldn't get that sweet box money, would you?

Not that they don't care about the reaction to it. I haven't really heard people hating the update besides not being able to buy the items with credits.

I wouldn't mind if you could purchase the new things, albeit at a higher price than the normal skins. Or if you could buy crates with your currency.

I cannot believe they put penalties for leaving early in Quick Play. Are they fucking retarded?

[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;50823067]I cannot believe they put penalties for leaving early in Quick Play. Are they fucking retarded?[/QUOTE] If they didn't, people leaving games early would be pandemic. I'd rather have all 12 people gritting their teeth through a bad game, instead of turning one-sided matches into a complete steamroll.

It's really the combination of several things that make these crates so bad. You can't acquire an item you like other than going through RNG until you're lucky. Summer crates are heavily diluted with normal items. They're time-limited (and for less than three weeks at that). Like remove any of these (especially 1 or 2) and the experience instantly becomes much better.

Now I have to fully commit in Quick Play which is dumb. If Valve did this shit to TF2's and CSGO's community quick play servers people would be pissed.

Spray -> Player Icon -> Common -> Epic -> Legendary (and with all of these, I can decide what I want specifically.) So for example, I would be able to decide that I want: Case 1. Ana spray -> Case 2. UK icon -> Case 3. New Soldier pose -> Case 4. Genji's skin -> Case 5. Zarya's skin It gives me something to work toward and I get a skin that I want without all the RNG.

Did they rework the lighting engine in the game or something? [img]http://puu.sh/qoIBm/aad7a08597.jpg[/img]
