Overwatch - It's Actually a Trick To Make Everyone Play HotS, also BUY - Games

[QUOTE=Altimor;52174668]Hopefully they keep 1v1 enabled so I can farm faster[/QUOTE] Oh no now I have to hope 3v3 matchmaking RNG is kind [QUOTE=Talishmar;52175767]For a good Zarya definitely. A good Hog however will keep tabs on Zarya's positioning and cooldowns to know when to hook, and note that a successful M2 + hook combo will destroy Zarya in basically any situation.[/QUOTE] If you win a team fight the Zarya can still farm the Hog, especially if it's off grav/shatter.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;52176057]I don't get it[/QUOTE] The door opens, splitting the two apart.

Is the crate opening music base on anything? Sometimes I heard more "epic" tooting and just get blues and whites.

I bought 11 lootboxes for the first time I got 0 legendaries and a lot of voicelines :suicide: [editline]2nd May 2017[/editline] I guess I paid 10 euros to learn a lesson atleast

I believe they nerfed the legendary chances since last event.

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;52176362]I believe they nerfed the legendary chances since last event.[/QUOTE] Sure feels like it. I bought my friend $20 of boxes as a graduation gift since she hasn't had a chance to really play due to finals. All she wanted was the mercy, only got Rein's. Didn't even have enough gold to buy it. Meanwhile I only got the Mercy skin so far out of however many boxes I went through. Wound up buying McCree and Genji's.

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;52176362]I believe they nerfed the legendary chances since last event.[/QUOTE] Would be interesting to finally raw numbers to draw from now that the Chinese law is in place that requires lootboxes to publish drop rates, but I'm betting Blizzard will skew the rates and start releasing a separate version for China only.

I haven't played in months. The netcode is still frustrating at best - even with 40-60 ping. I even had a hook with Roadhog that just outright undid itself after matching the latch-on sound. Which is weird, because I thought they rolled out the 60+ tickrate while I've been gone, but it doesn't seem really any different. And is it just me, or does Osira seem a little bit strong? I'm out of the loop with the meta, but it seems like Reinhardt with a gun that can also shoot with the shield up and the only downside being is that the shield is static.

I like playing Orisa even though people say "no we need a rein" She's brilliant at taking out tanks too. I generally finish with gold damage every match I play her

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52176445]I like playing Orisa even though people say "no we need a rein" She's brilliant at taking out tanks too. I generally finish with gold damage every match I play her[/QUOTE] I'm not really the best player, and I usually go to Hog if I need to chill out, but all my Orisa matches went the same way as yours pretty much. Like the fast shield regen and her arm cannon are already stupidly strong, but combine it with a "fuck your control effects" resistance buff you can use on a whim and it's excellent. I keep forgetting she even has an ult because everything else is working so effectively together.

Orisa's excellent, but she's a huge and slow target. She lacks any kind of mobility, and she can't carry around a shield like Reinhardt. Also also doesn't have hard CC, though Halt! can have some great combos, and makes killing Pharah just a bit easier. Her barrier also only has 900 HP compared to Reinhardt's 2000 barrier. If you're Roadhog, you can get rid of it fairly quickly, especially if the rest of your team is trying to take it down as well.

The ult is pretty meh to be honest, or you just dont see the effectiveness I didnt know how to use her right click at first but it's stupidly strong too, especially on maps with drops.

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;52176456]The ult is pretty meh to be honest, or you just dont see the effectiveness I didnt know how to use her right click at first but it's stupidly strong too, especially on maps with drops.[/QUOTE] I agree it's pretty uncommon for her ult to be a dealbreaker, but alongside a 76 or a Genji it's fantastic. Especially on the last point on Volskaya I've found.

So i just got a duplicate of one of the legendary skins from the event...and i get 200c for it? They cost 3000 to get, why is the amount so low? That's not even 10% of the cost.

Orisa needs a small buff imo. Not entiely sure where though. Her head needs to be shrunk that's for sure. Maybe her fortify can also block headshots as well. Her barrier is usually good but I can't help but feel that it feels either too weak and too strong at the same time. Her gravity is by far one of the strongest abilities in the game, and she's a great roadhog counter as well (if her head was smaller). I dunno if making her fortify on the same cooldown as hook would be too much or not but she's great for baiting out his hooks.

The HOTS D.Va skin will be up in about 20 minutes

So to me she has the better shield for choke points.

Honestly, I think it's just wrong to name anything as a "Roadhog counter", it just puts the light on the entirely wrong thing. Any tank works as a Roadhog 'counter' (including himself) in the sense that if they play their cards right they can nearly entirely block him from getting at those delicious squishies. Yet, if any of those tanks were to face him 1v1 or even 2v1, chances are they'll vaporized in a split second as soon as the hog has it all lined up, which can take anywhere between a couple of seconds at worst down to the blink of an eye. The real counter is functioning team synergy, good positioning and well... not just running straight into it like a lot of people do. Of course, that's in itself countered by him having a team that actually does something to that draws the focus off the giant super-scary 600hp bullseye.

[QUOTE=ShimTaco;52176840]At the moment, Orisa is just hanzo and widow food.[/QUOTE] Zenyatta, Pharah and flankers make short work of her too. Orisa is not a bad hero on paper, just incredibly easily countered.

On both topics using a Roadhog Ult on a golded Orisa is incredibly satisfying.

[QUOTE=Talishmar;52176895]Zenyatta, Pharah and flankers make short work of her too. Orisa is not a bad hero on paper, just incredibly easily countered.[/QUOTE] So just like any other tank?

Matchmaking needs some sort of overhaul. I shouldn't be versing 5-6 stacks in quick play when at best the largest group I have on my team is a 2 person group. Like how is that fair Blizzard? I guess thay have to enforce that 50/50 winrate thing somehow so they put you in matches with no hopes of winning.

It makes siren noises when boosting abliet they're pretty quiet. And the sirens are animated neat.

So does anyone have any idea when the second week of the Nexus event is going live? I thought it might've been the same time the boxes for Overwatch reset but it's almost May 3rd over here and there's still nothing.
