Blizz makes more money on event crates.
Events are fine and dandy the first year. But people are going to notice "Hey. Why is most of the Overwatch content locked behind events?" Sooner or later.
I am pretty sure now they see a drop in their player base when there isn't an event going on because there is no point in getting normal loot boxes anymore.

it would actually be super neat if on the 1 year anniversary of the game's release they had an event crate that didn't have anything new but could contain any item from any event in the past year
Thank fuck for credits.
Just got 5 straight dupe crates, including the arcade ones.
I'm wondering how the fuck they're going to deal with events when they're obligated to do each one again every year, but have spaced them out so that there's not really much room for [I]new[/I] events. By year three it'll be events all year round.

They are setting themselves up for being overworked.

I mean enabling old events isn't actually more work, it's just that there won't be any time for new events after a year or two.

I mean they still need to add new stuff every time the event comes along.
I, like the consumer whore I am, shelled out some monies for yet more lootboxes.
Got Junkrat's skin, Roadhog's POTG Intro, and enough coins to afford Zenyatta's skin.
You know what? That's fine. Not ideal, woulda liked to have dropped Zen and walked away with 3k in coins, but screw it, I'm happy.
Will there be a Valentine's Day event?
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51818938]never thought i would say this, but after actually playing Paladins i absolutely would not mind if blizz just 1:1 copied some of the champions.
paladins' versions of dva, roadhog, pharah and junkrat are so much better.
going back to roadhog's awful scrap gun feels weird now[/QUOTE]
High Rez just has more expierence for this genre than Blizzard.
And I think they're actually listening to feedback on things, instead of Blizzard's "Mother Knows best" mentality.
[QUOTE=SFC003;51819588]Will there be a Valentine's Day event?[/QUOTE]
Good lord I hope not.
Everyone gets a voice line or spray or something, that'd be just fine.
Maybe a Brawl that's just Hanzo vs Genji and Mercy.
But I'm super burned out from Year of the Rooster still.
It's nice that I only lose 20 SR from a total stop.
Our team lost 0-3 on KOTH. Didn't get a single percentage.
Good to know matchmaking is trash
[editline]14th February 2017[/editline]
Yep. Spent hours getting from 2720 to 2780. I hit 2781 and now I've lost two and back down to 2740. Fuck this game sometimes.
Down to 2715. Seriously, fuck this game.
What's worse is when you go into another game and it puts you with the same team
This artist drew that model that looks like Zarya, Stephania Ferrario, as Zarya. (Reminder that her Twitter has a lot of NSFW photos of herself)

Any diamonds want to carry a plat pleb who either loses or draws
the new road hog feels literally unplayable, what the fuck were they thinking?
[QUOTE=redBadger;51819940]Any diamonds want to carry a plat pleb who either loses or draws[/QUOTE]
The problem with this mentality is that even if you could get a grandmaster to queue with you, in theory the MM should just gimp your team with bronze players (or give the enemy team better players) to compensate and keep both teams at the same average SR. The only way to boost that would actually make sense would be if you played with somebody who was a lower rank than they were supposed to be, aka a smurf.
Not that boosting would actually give you a better experience, it would just make the MM think you're better than you are once you're not boosting anymore and you'd get a long slog of losses.
I caved and bought 10 lootboxes. All sprays, icons, and dupes. :suicide:
It did give me enough coins to buy roadhog's skin, but damn I really wanted his highlight intro.
I said fuck it and bought Mei's emote and victory pose. They're hilarious to me for some reason, Mei's face looks like she's high as fuck, specially on the victory pose
[QUOTE=Radical_ed;51820054]the new road hog feels literally unplayable, what the fuck were they thinking?[/QUOTE]
In order,
Its not that bad:
[video=youtube;u1sAz4eggWg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1sAz4eggWg[/video]
As for the cooldown increase, I find it well justified. At least when people say Zarya can be a good counter to the hook, they can mean it.
Having it share the same cooldown as that ability is pretty key to its nerf. Previously, Zarya was only a counter once, and then Roadhog got the 2nd one for free. (6s cd vs 8s cd will do that)
Since this game encourages death balling there is no punishing roadhog for missing a hook in higher play, he just stays in his deathball and tries again.
Zarya can now shut this out, at the very least.
That said, from the video here I find it very odd that it seems Winston is taking even MORE damage than he does on live usually from this combo.
Which is really the last thing he needed.
So your self sufficient carry machine will still most likely still function until you run into a good Zarya.
I have my own issues with the way this nerf was handled, but I still find him perfectly playable.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;51820292]The 8 second CD should have been a day one change IMHO. Before that change, baiting Hog with a mobility left you out of commission for 8 seconds, while two seconds later Hog was back to 100% in 6. You basically being gimped harder than hog than was by baiting, which in of itself is a really risky gamble.[/QUOTE]
Theres also the issue of heroes who actually have the mobility and then the DPS to actually punish roadhog is pathetically small.
Even more so if you count his self healing, feeding ultimate or not, its stupid as fuck that you can run into a roadhog healing himself and not be able to do jack shit about it because your hero isn't capable of 600 burst damage in 2.5 seconds. There is no punishing an out of position hog. Ironically enough.
Currently, I can only think of Tracer who is even capable of anything remotely close to that level of damage.
is cancelling your reload with a melee hit faster than letting the entire reload animation play out? It kind of feels like the case for ana and roadhog
[QUOTE=ashxu;51820509]is cancelling your reload with a melee hit faster than letting the entire reload animation play out? It kind of feels like the case for ana and roadhog[/QUOTE]
I think the only instance of that is Reaper.
I remember McCree had a reload cancel regarding his m2, but all reload cancels have been fixed I think.

It's never an advantage to cancel the reload animation unless you're doing it with an ability you actually want to use, ie healing/hooking as roadhog, meleeing to get some extra damage in, etc. I'm not sure if the last one is actually an advantage DPS-wise, however.
That doesn't stop a lot of Reapers from trying, though.
