(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought I got Torb's Summer costume but it was just his regular blue one lol

The competitive ranking for Lucioball must be broken, since there's no way I'm not bronze (It put me in platinum).
---

Grillmaster 76 get fuck yes. Just need waifu Mercy and waifu Sombra now

I got Gold even though I lost pretty much every placement game.
---

I went 4-6 and maybe scored 5 goals over all of my placement matches. Maybe it just puts you around where your regular competitive rating is? I can't imagine it'd be anything else.
---

I got Pharah's Anubis costume and Widowmaker's summer one

I didn't even know WM had one!

Junkrat and Roadhog animated short

New map looos interesting. New short was bad.
---

Oh wait I'm seeing people now saying that was a preview and the real animated short is coming Wednesday.

Yeah that was definitely weak, hopefully they're right about that.

Getting a real TF2 vibe from both videos.

Got Dva's event costume

I'm getting everyone elses except Zarya's!

I didn't realize Blizzard would just add new abilities without deleting old ones. I thought they were trying to give everyone the same number of active use abilities.

Changes sound interesting, but I wonder why they even want to nerf defense matrix anyway. I don't remember anyone saying D.va is too strong.
---

Probably because it can last long enough for D.Va to solo stall. Personally I hate the range of it since it extends much further than it looks like it does. I'm fine with making D.Va more aggressive at the cost of her Defense Matrix. Also not everyone has the same amount of abilities/alt fire/etc. Winston has a useless L2 button. Hoping he can get something added to it one day

I hope if the attack team fails to deliver the payload on that map it just explodes there and kills everyone around it.

Eh... not that much of a fan. I like Defense Matrix, and I kind of wish Dva could allowed to be more of an actual tank instead of another dive character. Also, that shooting while flying thing is going to screw me up a ton of times since I'm so used to using her guns to cancel the jets.

same here
---

I always use the boost again to cancel

I don't exactly know why, but D.Va's "Scoreboard" voice line cracks me up. Probably because it sounds like it's a truncated part of something else.

Her "Shutdowwwwwn line is my fav.
---

Happy Halloween is my favorite D.Va voice line.

Her "scary" voice line just sounds like Mei to me
---

All of D.Va's voice lines are pretty fantastic tbqh
---

Am 3-3 in Comp Lucioball placements so far. I dunno how placement works when it's done because I've never done more than like 2 Comp matches ever until this, but if it goes by individual ability or whatever I feel like I should do pretty decently I guess. I dunno what the ranks are.

Got Victory Mercy and my favorite Doomfist skin (the leopard one) in the same loot box. Sombra is the only thing I need now and I won't be upset if I have to use 3k coins for her. Feel like I won't need to, but we'll see.

I've only gotten the 76 one of the ones I want. I've gotten like four other event legendaries that I didn't want, it's a little disappointing.
---

That sucks. I aim for all of them because it bugs me not having them. I mean I even got ugly beardless Torb just because I feel like I need all the skins and stuff. I dunno why. Can't wait for Halloween to come back so I can get the few things I missed and also because I want to see even more new skins.

6 Loot boxes

HERE WE GO

Lucio's new event costume

Icons on the 2nd, bleh

I tried Total Mayhem

spent at least three full minutes being repeatedly put to sleep by an Ana because I tried meter striking her

then she misclicked one time and I woke up and punched her to death

it was very funny

Real animated video this time

Mei must be protected at all costs
---

I quite enjoyed that short, but Mei is also probably my favorite character
---

Mei is adorable. I hope those pajamas become a skin

Didn't really like the short, but I don't care much for Mei anyway.

Honestly I booted up the game JUST to see if they were added or not

since they had the summer games logo on them, I really thought they were gonna be

he's pointing out the crazy amount of damage blocked and sound barriers provided by lucio

i'm assuming it was a custom game

Looks like joyous total mayhem insanity.

That's nothing, if you get into a koth match with all lucios and roadhogs, those can last over an hour
