New deathmatch map

Free For All Comp season

8 new legendaries

Anniversary lootboxes have a chance to unlocking stuff from past events

you can straight up buy stuff from past events

the arcade will be cycling games from past events as well

I think I'm excited!
---

Keep in mind all event items from Summer Games 2017 to present will still be 3x the coins so no 1,000 coin Grillmaster 76 or anything.

Junkrat confirmed to be getting a Pirate skin for this 2nd Anniversary and Doomfist implied by Jeff Kaplan to be getting his formal wear from the comic.

Im most excited about Lucioball coming back

I'm excited about getting the dancing emotes

and I really wanted Mei's chinese vampire hopping emote

as well as getting another shot at Retribution legendary

I wasted all of my time on Uprising Legendary (Which I DID Beat)
---

Meis dance emote is so great

2 epic skins confirmed so far. One for 76 and one for Tracer. Tracer and Winston getting 1 terrible skin each in an entire year has made me lose all faith in humanity

whats with them always trying to make Soldier into a robot or look like Cyclops
---

Lucioball!
---

The event skins. Not bad I guess, but man Torb could go without skins for a while now. Nothing for Winston which isnt surprising because theyre never gonna make a good skin for him again :(

Orisa and Doomfist look fucking awesome

And good to see Brigitte already getting a new skin, they rarely support the new characters so quick
---

McCree sure does get a lot of skins.
---

These are so much better than last years. We got a date?
---

Zatanna Symmetra is amazing

This Tuesday

I dunno I'm not diggin any of these

Was hoping for that One in Reins short for Brigette
---

Doomfist looks straight out of Metal Gear Rising, neeeeed
---

I apparently convinced someone to buy the pink mercy skin

"Its too expensive, I love it, but its too much"

"You're not paying for the skin, you're donating to charity and the skin is a gift"

"Holy shit, okay, I'm doing it now"

thats my good deed for the day
---

Petra! Already leaked, but posting it anyway:

---

apparently DF's, Brig's, and Moira's dance emotes were leaked too
---

Yeah. Brigittes is pretty good. Doomfists is ok I guess, but dammit I wanted it to be The Carlton. Moiras is not very good

Apparently Moira's dancing is based on a viral video of some goths dancing

....that sucks
---

why?

it's amazing

I want to play Total Mayhem right now

but I need to save my Arcade Boxes for Tomorrow's event!

hnnnrrrrggg
---

Patch is up early. Got the new pirate Junkrat skin in the free box

1st Arcade box new Bastion skin woo

Lucioball is today if anybody was wondering. Easy way to earn your 3 Arcade loot boxes

Pretty good free box for me this time.

Brigitte Kneel (epic emote)
D. Va White Rabbit (epic skin)
Bastion Dune Buggy (legendary skin)
Junkrat Dr. Junkenstein (legendary skin)
---

Nice

I got Sherlock McCree in the free box, I'm wondering if they changed it so the free boxes have higher chances to give good items.
---

Oh yeah I got my first Moira highlight intro in my first box too. Shouldnt take me too long to get everything from this event with the amount of stuff I have. There arent many epic or legendary items that can spook me

The first free box was called Legendary, so I figured it had a guaranteed one
---

It does guarantee at least one Legendary item. I dont think its a guaranteed event one though.

1st box: Zarya Cyberian skin
2nd box: Mei Beekeeper
3rd Box: Junkrat Buccaneer

3 boxes and 3 legendary skins. Granted the 1st box was a guaranteed one but should I be concerned about ever seeing a legendary skin again? I dont think the game has been this generous to me since the first halloween event.
---

Depends on how much you plan to play. The average is 1 legendary item per 14 loot boxes I believe

I fucking hate that new map

its WAY too fucking big. I seriously can't find anyone for 2-5 minutes at a time

The fucking game starts threatening to boot me out
---

Junkentein's revenge is up

since I've never played it before, I get a free loot box!
---

It is a very big map. So many caves and stuff to hide in

I haven't tried Petra yet, but it's better to have a map that's too big than one that's too small.
---

I prefer too small. Theres always action

I've lost a 7 kill lead because I couldn't find anybody
---

Too small is a recipe for an unbreakable choke point, though I suppose that doesn't matter in Deathmatch.
---

Isn't it designed for deathmatch? So you want to be able to hide and sneak around. There shouldn't be chokepoints like in objective maps.
---

opened my legendary and got Symm's Oasis one

bleh
---

As a Junkrat main I want everyone grouped up together in a tight little cluster.
---

opened up 6 boxes

got decent stuff!

Already got Rein's dancing one!
---

Oh, so the Anniversary Box is a big trick because you can get old stuff you missed in it, and aren't guaranteed at least one drop from the CURRENT event.

I wouldn't call it a SCAM, but I got everything I cared about in the old events, so this is really just lowering my odds of getting what I want.
---

Just got penalized for leaving too many matches because everytime I went into Petra it was ongoing and already 4 minutes or more in.

Don't punish me for your shit matchmaking, Blizzard!
