Poll of the Day > Cease your resistance! (Overwatch discussion topic Anniversary Edition!)

(+) Yeah! (+)

going by playtime, probably. been playing a lot of other characters more than her recently, though. dva, lucio, and reaper are probably my closest things to mains, with roadhog, pharah, and mei close behind.

This really bad McCree was bitching at me for not killing symnmetra's turrets enough as Winston, so I was like "well how about you switch to a healer and keep me alive and the turrets will go down more =)" and they shut up, but they didn't switch to a healer. Then we lost and he was like "this winston was garbage" Then I was the only card on the team, and I had 4 golds. Right. I was garbage.
---

Been having shit luck this event so far.
---

Event 7 has been datamined as featuring "golden lootboxes", which are the standard lootboxes painted gold. No clue what that means.
---

So Pharah's latest skin doesn't wear a helmet....but her mission complete highlight intro still shows her taking off the skins helmet which she never wears in an actual match

It's always shitty players that bitch about other people "not doing well". I love when it's a game with more shamable stats, so you can point to who is statistically better and tell them to go fuck their own loser ass elsewhere.

People think that the Golden Loot boxes aren't really going to be a part of any event, they will be a permanent feature that have higher chances at legendary and epic items, and low chances of duplicates. There's no real evidence for this, but Jeff did say that there has been a lot of internal discussion recently since people are complaining that it doesn't feel good to buy a bunch of lootboxes and get nothing but duplicates.
---

I've seen others suggest it's going to be an event box featuring previous event items.

I only just yesterday bought the game but have played every free weekend+ like two beta tests and, is the matchmaking supposed to be fucking horrible? I keep getting in games where the enemy and sometimes my team is over 20x my level and I get absolutely demolished, this isn't exclusive to this game but my god it's really making me almost regret my purchase.
---

Jeff kaplan said that the community defines D. Va as a "Mountain Dew chugging gremlin"
---

I'm pretty sure that's modelled off Umaru.
---

i got pharah's event skin today and gotta say as her only helmet less skin it's kinda odd seeing pharah fighting without her helmet on
---

Okay Torbjorn is kind of great in CTF. >_>

The strange part is, I've seen someone redo the Umaru opening with Flandre from Touhou, and yet no one has attempted to do the same except with D.Va?, Internet, I am disappointed.....

It's arcade reset day! More boxes! More chances for disappointment!
---

Think I can safely list the most "broken"/unfun character in mayhem, Not counting Aa's "LOLOverwatch funny moments give me likes!"-Constant sleep dart+Teabagging.

Winston.
Zarya.
Genji.
Mei.
Tracer.
Mercy's Constant Resurrecting.

Also, I think it says a lot when you're apparently so much of a threat, that most of the enemy team will prioritize killing you over the objective, Or they're just that salty, either way it's hilarious.

Will we have the opportunity to get the Summer Games items again this year?

Dunno, we'll find out though.

Also, going into game for arcade bonus boxes in a little bit!
---

It will likely reoccur but it might have different items we don't know yet.

That torbjorn that tried building instead of capping ffs XD
---

torb buff please

I was Torb in a match, and it was Overtime, but my whole team just died and their whole team was on point. Someone told me to get on point like it would matter.

The one you're talking about had the flag or something though right? I didn't see what happened in that situation.
---

New Twitter post suggests escaped subject Hammond from Horizon Lunar colony could be next hero.
---

---

Oh are they FINALLY adding Horizon? They've teased Horizon since before launch.
---

I did watch the Your Overwatch video that's in the top left of that picture.

Oh yeah, so he carried the flag all the way back to our base, then instead of capping, he walked over to a corner to build his turret and the enemy Lucio trapped him in the corner and killed him.

ohhh, so that's why everyone was upset lol. Who knows what they were thinking. Maybe he thought someone else had the flag?
---

Got Lucio's Jazzy skin in a box.

So now I have: Lucio, Soldier, Bastion and Mei. If I can get the Symmetra and the Hanzo skins I'll be happy. I don't think the Hanzo skin is particularly good, but it's better than nothing.

@deoxxys

Oh yeah, you asked who my Overwatch waifu was and I didn't actually give you an answer besides that joke answer.

Tracer is my Overwatch waifu.

I still think Widow is the hottest though.

Part of the map has low gravity, and gravity options will be added to custom games.

HA!
---

I cant even play PTR because after being in a game for 5 minutes the stutter kicks in and continues til its so harsh that the game almost comes to a stand still and eventually just freezes
---

Yeah my game keeps freezing and crashing on the PTR.
---

Oh, yeah, I FINALLY bought components for a new computer this morning!
GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5
8GB DDR4 Memory
1TB HDD
128GB SSD
Intel Core i5 7th gen 7400 (3.0 GHz)

Not bad on a budget. Should last me a couple years before I need to replace things. First thing I will need to replace probably will be that CPU, but that will be a ways down the line.

Also purchased a new monitor, a 24" Samsung LCD LED. so same size and make as my current one, but it should be able to display colors correctly(my current one sometimes loses red color, it's over 5 years old and has been moved a lot). I know I should probably go with a different brand since Samsung usually has AMD technology, but I find they're more reliable than Acer(my last Acer lasted me less than a month before it started to fail on me). All in all, not a bad deal for under $1000, it will be able to play most games on very high or ultra settings. I'm also going with fans for this machine. My current machine uses a liquid cooling system, and while it is quiet(well, not anymore as it has aged) and reliable, I'm surprised that it has survived this long(Over 5 years, nearly 5 and a half) and I actually had to replace it about a month after I got it.


Bottom line, if I still get black screen freezes while playing Overwatch, I'll throw a table.
---

Hero changes look good to me.
---

That Reaper change. o_O

Also, yay Roadhog buffs! Well, and a nerf, but still, buffs!
---

Jesus Reaper is gonna be more annoying to fight now, Well it'll make my brother happy, he's practically a Reaper main since he has over 20 hours on him....

Also, "especially when fighting Tank heroes, which tend to be larger targets that deal lower damage." HA, Roadhog, One-Shots most characters, Reinhardt's swings also do quite a bit of damage, Zarya+Bubble=Loads of damage, "Lower Damage" doesn't really make sense to say with some....
---

Yeah Winston and D.Va basically won't be able to kill Reaper anymore.

I know that's probably redundant to most people but I've definitely done it against bad Reapers.

Unless the Reaper is a double agent it won't happen anymore.
---

So apparently all the crashing and freezing happening on the PTR is due to a memory leak introduced with the inclusion of adjustable gravity physics. That's what PTR is for, they should be able to get this fixed before the update goes live.
---

It's a good change for Reaper. But I honestly would rather they made a new hero that had life steal rather than just give it to an existing hero.

That's what makes him a nightmare for me, since D.Va (and Reinhardt) are a couple of my personal more used heroes, Looks like I should run away every time Reaper pops up then >_>.

The Overwatch VAs are awesome!
