Boy are you in for a dose of reality.
I'm wondering if this whole event exclusive items is the best way for blizzard to earn money and the players to be happy.
I'm not trying to defend this practice or attack it, personally I don't mind the event based items because I do not care for cosmetics, but what would even be the better alternative to this that would still give them money?
I unno. The $60 price tag probably.
Probably a better loot system where you can control what character you get items for somehow.

I hear you always get good teammates once you reach 5001 SR though.

The common argument I find is that the $60 only pays for the base game and nothing else. And that events fund the rest of the game's development so they are a necessary evil to have.
The biggest problem is how much of a priority Blizzard is putting into the events. To where it seems like they are being neglectful towards the base game. I am not asking for a new map and character every month. Just throw us a bone every once in awhile and add new base game items so non-event lootboxes are not always a disappointment to open.

Basically they've thought about the idea before, but they want to establish Overwatch as it's own thing for the first year and so before doing stuff like that.
I started the season with my friend, i ended up in mid gold and he ended up in mid silver. I dropped down in my first games to silver, and i've been stuck there ever since. Meanwhile, my mate has played and absolutely insane amount, and has completely left me in the dust and is almost in diamond. I need to finish at least plat this season to redeem myself. He says the voice comms in plat are much fucking better than fucking silver. I wish i wasn't almost always the only one on a team with a mic. It wouldn't be so bad but there's always some dude who doesn't want to join vc. Aww well.

I don't know why but this feels wrong somehow.
1 year almost reached and still no map design changes. I really, really hope Blizzard addresses their map design at one point..

But they added a new doorway on Eichenwalde!
One of these days they'll make a knockoff version pl_badwater into a Overwatch map.
Like seriously I just want some better versions of some of TF2 maps. Give me Schmadwater, or Downturn or [I]something[/I], every other payload map is just a nice looking mess.

If done right it could work, but yeah I hope they don't go too extreme on these in the future.
The HotS event is kinda over, right? I got the 10 loot boxes and want to uninstall that crappy game. It was worth it, got finally a legendary Mei skin.

I have every Sombra legendary except one, all from random drops. I rarely if ever play Sombra.
as much as i like the new maps i dont care for arena....an entire game mode dominated by RH
Arena? like tf2 arena?
[QUOTE=CrossNgen;52244707]Arena? like tf2 arena?[/QUOTE]
It's basically more maps like Antarctica. Hope this means they'll finally make 3v3 and 1v1 not awful.
make 3v3 require new characters every round. If you pick Hog, Ana and 76, they're locked the next round and you can't play them.

it's totally fun to play against the same comp every round every game

It feels like a loss to me that they're tossing that rainy Echienwalde Adjacent atheistic into an arena map.

If they handle this well, I'll spend a lot of time their, I love arena in tf2. For this game though, it may need a ban phase or something.
I was hoping they would churn out more arena maps since they're probably way easier to design.
