(+) Yeah! (+)

Quick Play oh man.

lol Symmetra's new Teleport can be used mid-ult. Including Attack Visor, Death Blossom, and Deadeye. And Junkrat's Tire and Dva's Self-Destruct can pass through it.

This is going to be bananas.

You underestimate how bad these people can get.

To be fair I probably am. I've actually had pretty good luck with teams.

It will be nuts until they nerf it. We all know its coming.

Also I almost entirely play QP and its fun. Every now and then you have really odd matches though like the times I got gold damage with Winston or Reinhardt despite having a Reaper, Pharah and Junkrat on my team. Like wow how bad do you have to do with them to lose in damage to Reinhardt and Winston

Though if they ever made FFA all stages and Lucioball permanent Arcade Modes I probably would mostly play those

So I wasn't around for it last year. Does the ability to buy the new anniversary stuff with credits go away when the event ends?
---

Yes, as well as every other event
---

More angry than I should be that double exp didn't start when it was supposed to an hour ago and I just wasted time playing a match for normal exp.

It starts tomorrow.

It's perfectly normal to forget that the weekend starts on Friday.

The Overwatch blog said Thursday 8 PM EST.
---

Oh, they made a typo.
---

I'm a little annoyed it didn't line up with Retribution myself
---

JUST BEAT RETRIBUTION ON LEGENDARY

way easier than the others but tedious as fuck
---

I don't work tonight (god willing)

hopefully I'll still have some luck and I can beat Junkenstein Endless

But soon it won't matter anymore! Playing Overwatch has been detrimental to my finances, time, and mental health for a while now. This goes beyond being annoyed at the game.

This is literally addiction and you should seek help.
---

No need, already deleted it.
---

How was it detrimental to your finances? Don't tell me you buy loot boxes
---

I think I spent $400 on loot boxes all said and done over those 2 years.
---

why
---

Because I'm a sucker who can't tolerate missing limited time content.
---

Do you do this with all your other games
---

I still haven't gotten the 5 things I wanted

I'll play what I can this weekend but I might have to use my funbux to get them
---

I beat junkenstein endless!

I found a bunch of guys and we worked really well together
---

also nothing but voicelines, sprays, and icons and shit

god dammit
---

I got zaryas fucking legendary arctic outfit

That pretty much was the kick in the balls wake up call that says I'm not getting anything I want, especially with one day away

Fun bux it is!
---

Check list when i get home:

Meis dance emote

Meis hopping emote

Moira blackwatch skin

Pharah bedouin skin

Widowmakers mistletoe highlight

is double xp still goin?
---

It should be. Also I just played with people so bad youd think they never played the game in their lives. They literally wouldnt get on the objective to capture it even when we killed half the team and I couldnt solo cap it as Lucio with an enemy Ana and Hanzo on it at all times. I really wish if people had super awful objective time (and they arent playing somebody like Tracer or something) they would just be banned from ever playing. I dunno how you can be a second healer or tank and literally never touch the fucking objective in 5 minutes

And next match was an Ana on my team who literally wouldnt heal me when I was the only tank. Too busy healing Widow and Hanzo he or she was grouped up with. Double exp bringing out all the super awful casuals or something I guess. Why would any idiot even try to DPS as Ana

got Mei's santa outfit

I guess its nice to fill out her Gallery but still not really want I wanted from her

TWO LEGENDS IN ONE BOX

AND ONE OF THEM IS BEDOUIN!!!

The other one was that headwrap genji
---

oh its also called Bedouin lol
---

I've bought a few boxes, I'd say 20-30 bucks worth over the years and that's before I played arcade.

Quickplay is just the pits. Once you get to level 50 it's like, this place just sucks. I go there now when I want to mess around. I wish there was some weird eternal skirmish deathmatch KOTH sort of mode but Quickplay is fine.

Competitive is a bit more frustrating because you sort of expect people to change comp and they won't. So if we have a Moira doing "gold star damage" style of play, you expect them to switch it up.

I used to be a 2200-2300 player but I stopped using my mic when I moved and I'm now 1600-1900. I hope for a "mic only" option so I'm not messing my team up but usually on PS4 there are only 2-3 people at this level using mics on any given team.

but really I spend 95% of my time in Arcade, especially if 4v4 or 6v6 are available. My favorite objectives are KOTH maps. Escort maps can be tough to play.

so the event ends today right?

double xp was still goin after midnight

are they ending at the same time?

or is the event gonna spill over into tomorrow?
---

I assume it ends at 8 EDT
---

It is supposed to end today but events have a history of not ending exactly on time. So there is a chance you could knock out some arcade boxes real quick after the counter resets but if there is something you really want you should probably buy it. No way to know how long the extra time might last and no guarantee you would get exactly the skin or emote you want from the loot box lotto anyway.
---

I've reached a new low and now I'm at 1100 on comp

lord down I go
---

double xp still seems to be goin
---

I'm back at 1200

but for how long?
---

the funny thing is the last match had a group of THREE kids in a team, so obviously they know each other IRL

and THEY WERE DECENT

not super great, but they were flexible, knew what to do, and followed calls

but yea, when I started it, I was like DEEPER INTO 1100 I GO
---

What's most annoying to me is when you're a healer and working with the rest of your team keeping tanks and such healthy, and some Widowmaker off on a ledge somewhere starts calling for healing and then gets mad when you don't ditch the rest of the team for them and is like "healer sucks"

It's not the healer's fault you're being a Widow when you reeeeally shouldn't be a Widow and wondering why you aren't being prioritized by the healer
---

Thats how a lot of people act sadly. Its always I need healing when theyre trying to 1v6 on their own and then they spam the healing or thank command multiple times like youre to blame for them being a moron. Its why a lot of people dont like being healer because theres always a salty dps on your team who will complain about it. Whats worse is when you get healers who play like dps and dont heal though. Theyre so bad they shouldnt even be allowed to play healer at all

Genji: We need a healer!
---

I totally spent the coins for Genji's new "You need healing" voice line.
---

*is starting to get anniversary dupes*

FFFFFFFFFFF
---

Double xp is definitely over now

seems like the actual event is gonna end tomorrow evening

make sure to get your last arcade boxes before tomorrow!
