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

[BanthaFodder]

[QUOTE=Everything;52266693]So I decided to pick the game up today, and upon throwing myself into quickplay, I was asked to play D.va since we had no tanks.

Somehow I managed to get two five-streaks my very first time playing, one without even having the mech, and didn't die once in either round. I realize I was probably being matched with a bunch of other newbies, but still, I am irrationally proud my first game went that well.

In general, how well does the Team Fortress mindset translate to this game? I was playing D.va like I used to play Heavy, lots of corner peeking and standing in front of my healer, and it seemed to work out fine.[/QUOTE]

TF2 strats work surprisingly well here, at least on the characters that play similarly to their TF2 counterparts (Orisa, Torb, Mercy, etc.)

I keep getting garbage in the lootboxes. The least underwhelming item I got was a legendary skin for a hero I don't play; widowmaker.

I heard that Overwatch was having connection-drop issues but apparently since the update if you get it while in a comp you can't rejoin. Nice.

Thats a pretty good way to play D.Va, her closest comparison in TF2 would most likely be the tomislav except with less range.

You generally should be staying with your team with her, she's the ideal tank to go if you need to either ward off or protect faster characters like Tracer or Genji.

Though she can also function as a finisher and chase down people trying to escape. Boosting into them and doing Quick Melee does 60 damage

I haven't played in months so like, I expected my dive into comp to be nothing but loses but MAN I'm bad.

Finally started winning and kind of "getting it" again and now I'm plagued with DCers on my team. I can't wait to be bronze.

Seriously had a match where we were a steamroller, the group was about to cap Gibalter almost perfectly... then two of our teammates left without warning and never came back. I don't know what I'm supposed to do when this keeps happening.

oh wtf

[VintageCat]

Felt so bad for defeating a player at the duel with 5-0 score who said it was their 8th try. Had to lie that it was my 5th (even though it was the 1st). If I had more time, I'd probably purposely lose a few duels to help people.

[QUOTE=KnightLight;52266496]Wow, when you're using D.Va's 50's skin she will occasionally say "Hey, daddyo!" instead of 'Hi'.[/QUOTE]She also says 'Firing Up!' when calling in her mech

Speaking of which, there goes all my luck in all of ever on the free lootbox

So there's a 'Dance Party' skirmish game going and it's fun but

...there's no music so it feels kinda awkward. Blizz, pls fix this somehow

New music event. Crate locked of course.

The new Dorado map has a boombox that plays music.

You can't skirmish on that map though.

EDIT: Reaper giving absolutely no fucks whatsoever about deadly lasers.

Maybe someday we will get a major cosmetic update without bullshit event time frames.

The birthday update would have been perfect but you know. Guess not.

[Splash Attack]

Does anyone else feel like it's nearly impossible to win on attack on Total Mayhem? There are so many matches that the payload has gotten right at the final stretch of the map only to end in overtime because there's always an enemy contesting the payload

[Brobattington]

I kinda wish we could customize our title screens. Like, choose what map is focused on, what hero and what skin (that you have), and have a few saved that rotate every so often. That would be neat.

I can see them making this feature exclusive to event lootboxes. "You unlocked being able to use route 66 as your map.background"

[Vitisus]

The one thing I fucking hoped for was that dance emotes would be in regular boxes.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Totenkreuz]

You can't dance on a moving payload. Come ON blizz.

They're saying gg ez. It's being replaced with those.

[AtomicSans]

Man, that was a good update when they added that text replacement. Quite a few salty fucks getting even saltier when they realized they couldn't spout their trash without humiliating themselves.

Wow, that's kind of dorky. But I guess it's satisfying to see douchy people have their cocky text replaced when they don't see it coming.

I love the confusion that ensues when someone who types that shit realizes for the first time its been replaced

I FOUND A LEGENDARY :scream:
Plus it's been forever since I've played OW, but I should definitely play it more.

When you get put into a losing game that ends in 5 seconds...

Even better when the people there blame you for losing.

[Suakeli]

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;52266691]Y'know, I miss that Blizz adding some extra recolors of new event skins. They haven't done that since Summer Games. D.Va's Cruiser really should be a hot pink.[/QUOTE]

They'll just release 11 recolors as legendaries on the next anniversary update.
