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

I think you just have to accept that most organizations with broken structures like Blizzard and Valve are simply dysfunctional. Valve ends up behaving like a child with ADHD while Blizzard is functionally reduced to a retarded monkey.
TF2 is just used for experimental micro transaction stuff but Valve does a complete 180 when I look at Dota 2 and how well it's being treated. I think it's because there is a caring project leader in it with Icefrog that TF2 simply lacks. There is a lot of microtransaction stuf in Dota 2 as well but I mean the rest of the game.
Why did no one tell me Reaper has a mariachi skin
It's ridiculous and I need it [i]now[/i]

I still cant believe that "loot boxes are paying for content updates and keeping the game running!" is still a thing after selling over 30 million copies of a full priced game. Not to mention having Overwatch be just one of Blizz's [B]BILLION[/B] dollar franchises.
No developer will put micro-transactions in a game without the intention of players buying them.
I like how much OW shit does gets excused with "b-b-but TF2..."
Tacky and visually ugly skins since beta, paywalls in the form of total RNG after being sold for 40-60$, dead e-sport scene even when designed for it, bad design choices just ignored in general such as map designs...
Not even a year after launch it is pretty clear this game is a nice and flashy money grab after patch 1. And it is baffling how people just go in blind to defend them, I mean I can only IMAGINE the shit people would say if Valve added the dance taunts with not even music. Well, they even said shit for them getting added, and now people are foaming from.the mouth because " the sitting taunt is soooo cute" in OW and it is truly hilarious.
Oh man, would love this

3 epics and a Legendary. I am now expecting to get nothing the rest of the event because my luck was wasted on a terrible Bastion skin.

Does anyone else feel like even duoqueue just isn't even worth it because the system screws you? No matter who I queue with it just seems to give me really frustrating and unbalanced games every single time. All I want is a consistent team for fucks sake; what more can I even do?

Trying to grind out grandmaster in these last few days since I have some time off but holy shit it makes it annoying; even when I'm in the zone and utterly destroying the enemy it's a fucking coin flip, and it takes a few games to get to that point, so it doesn't end up adding up to much.
It seems like a lot of news sites are getting on Blizzard's case about this event.

I guess a lot more people just snapped. Uprising really pushed it for a lot of people. This event however pushed people over the edge.

I'm trying to get back to at least 3500 after decaying straight to 3k (thanks for the new system, Blizzard) and every game always ends in one team completely stomping the other. :vs:
I went from getting completely destroyed by a top 500 Zarya to fighting a team with a really bad Orisa and Sombra.

Games against top 500 / GM players (the matchmaking system just gets drunk at 5AM) are the shit, games with them are the absolute the fucking worst, but at least a lot of the GM players I encounter being complete garbage does inspire some hope :v:

The only skins I'd be fine with being locked to limited events are the holiday event ones. I can understand only being able to unbox Santa Torbjorn during Christmas or Reinhardt smashing a pumpkin during Halloween. I can't understand, however, only being able to unbox Jazz Lucio between May 23rd and June 12th or 76 doing pushups from April 11th to May 2nd.
Before Uprising, seasonal events had thematic reasoning to be seasonal, with event crates relating to the holiday. Now, seasonal events are seasonal events just to squeeze money as much money out of new content by forcing players to BUY if they want all the nice skins. Uprising showed they were pointed towards a dark path but anniversary proves they're happily on their way down said path.
All they needed to do was have event boxes which have a much higher chance of unboxing new items, but once the event ends the new items are added into the loot pool, which suffer from lower unbox chances due to bloated lootpool, but are still obtainable.
There will be that one guy who opens a lootbox and gets everything related to reaper shrugging

Now can we get a bunch of journalists saying how the maps currently released are chokepoint hells with "Insert Reinhardt here" points and passageways that if sealed of would make no difference?

While I won't go that far, the addition of the horn section and piano on the two EDM tracks they have for his songs don't go well together and are mixed poorly. I would either want them to go back and remake the tracks to be completely jazz themed or just not bother.
What's the fucking point of playing support when you get a leaver on your team and you end up losing 23 SR even if you play the entire game through... Blizzard needs to readjust SR gain for support players cause this is fucking bullshit.

I feel the bottom half needs changing and I'm not a fan of the hair/hat style.
Yeah, the music is mixed REALLY POORLY

It's because damage on a sleeping enemy cancels the sleeping effect. Since everyone shoots enemies regardless of what happens, this happens all the time, making the sleep dart next to useless. It's still good to cancel ults though

It's really good if your team isn't completely braindead, although they do often end up getting shot before people notice the sleeping animation or they get whacked by a stray bullet. As soon as they're on the ground though it's usually fine in my games.
Does anyone remember that Chinese Overwatch ripoff featuring a Roadhog that looked like Immorten Joe?
[URL="http://yx.dodjoy.com/#page4"]Their website has ability descriptions for their heroes now[/URL] (I don't know how long it has since we haven't talked about this in several months)
I'm pretty sure the website is designed to be viewed in mobile since I was only able to navigate it by using my laptop's touch screen but here's some neat things I picked out:
Their Hanzo's Sonic Arrow also slows enemies in its area (it's like an ice explosion)
His Scatter Arrow shots seem to actually home in on enemies marked by his frost arrow (not super sure since the translation is wonky)
Their equivalent of Winston slows enemies he lands on with Leap
Instead of a concussive blast, their Pharah has a self-heal that can only be used on the ground
I can't figure out how their D.Va-styled Lucio works at all except she seems to have been given Zenyatta's ult
If anyone actually knows Chinese and can help me better than Google translate please do
overwatch gives you one lootbox for it's birthday while HotS gives you 14 (if you play one 20 minute game each day for 2 weeks)
