god those players are so bad

dva easily kills symettra and there were TWO DVAS

Depends on if the D.Va can consistently be hitting Symmetra, I know I have trouble with most Symmetra's, if only cause of them constantly JUMPING when moving, or continually going side to side to throw off my aim.

Auto lock guns are so damn unfun....

Well thats the trick that higher level players know to beating symmetra, once she engages you, unless you have a good escape tool, thats the moment where you have to simply out DPS her. Did you know that symmetra's microwave beam is among the lowest in the game? Even Mercy can out DPS her with her pistol. DVa's gun has a HUGE spread and you should have no problem hitting a symmetra.

The only power given to Symmetra is if she has already chained off a few targets.

Most of Symmetra's power is given to her because players panic once they hear the microwave beam lock on to them and panic and try to run away, you dont run, you kill her.

I had a nightmare last night where I was at an Overwatch convention and there was a terrorist attack underway conducted by Torbjorn.

6v6 elimination sucks. delete this shit Blizz.

I played one match for the box, what's wrong with it?

I have a this now.

Guaranteed one legendary, and apparently no duplicates. Haven't opened it yet.
---

How do you get one?
---

Twitch prime.
---

Do I need to pay?

If you have Amazon prime, then no. But you do have to pay for amazon prime. Unless you get a free trial or something.
---

Yeah this looks like a bunch of bullshit I don't want hiding behind one shit I want a little bit.
---

Oh, so this was the announcement they were hyping up. Cool. Definitely could use a legendary skin, considering I've been playing for not even a month.

wut
---

I dont want to have to slog through this process to get one, I already buy loot boxes every event so I have a large portion of most of the legendaries
---

Three Horizon matches, three complete rolls as the offence.

I'm assuming people just don't know how to defend yet? Or was I just lucky?
---

I'll be playing the new map in a while. Might as well get used to it a bit before being forced to play it in comp matches.

Low Gravity looks.......interesting, ya know, whenever you don't have a pro Widow or McCree ruining anyone's low gravity fun, speaking of though, it's a shame you can't earn Trophies/Achievements in Arcade, Low Gravity would be the PERFECT opportunity for people to earn Widows Headshot Kill in the Air Trophy/Achievement......But apparently that's not a big concern for Blizzard....

Also, MY GOD SO MANY MCCREE POTG'S.

Well, low grav does make it so that high single damage characters like that have a much easier time to line up their shots...

Why would it be? They don't want the people getting the achievements easily.

True, Still doesn't stop it from being unfun when it happens to you though, But eh, Come to expect it.

Which is kinda stupid, the most they give you is Sprays, and I swear early on in the game, you COULD earn Trophies/Achievements in the Arcade, but they decided to remove that after a while, kinda stupid IMO, since I'm not touching Competitive, and QP at times devolves into a Competitive clone at times, so that's also pretty unfun, maybe I'm just in the minority though.

I feel you man. I've resorted to Practice vs AI just to not be fucked over by a fucking Mei or Symmetra

If they kept letting people earn achievements through the arcade then just about anyone would be able to get them. They want you to earn them legit through actual matches.

And QP being a comp clone, well of course it would be. The people playing it want to play it to win and to test things out like heroes or team comps or whatever else they want to practice.

QP and comp should be the only modes where you can earn things like achievements. At least the ones they have in the game now. I think it'd be fine if they had some that you could earn in arcade matches.

My only issue is the Symmettra trophy. It's really hard to destroy 3 Symmettra turrets now that the enemy can't stack them anymore.

how's the reaper change? it seems like it'd be pretty great considering he no longer has to kill enemies to get health

It makes him better against tanks, but worse against squishys.

Why though?, If they had no issues with people earning them in the arcade, why would they suddenly change it?, Was it originally an error/unintentional thing or something?, The Trophies/Achievements don't really prove anything, it's just locking away certain Sprays, granted, some people might hold those sprays in high regard due t othe difficulty in getting them, I know I do with D.Va's "Cute" Spray, since I got that BEFORE her Ultimate got buffed......*insert hipster.jpg here*.

Seems to work mostly fine on certain tanks, due to more of his shotgun pellets hitting their huge hit box, don't think it works that well on smaller targets since less of his pellets will hit the smaller hit boxes, but that's just my thoughts.

They probably realized people were abusing the ease of getting them through arcade mode.

Just like the xp farming that was happening in Custom Matches not that long ago. People abuse it to make things easier so they have to change it.

I haven't tried the new Reaper yet, but I've considered the change. Is it a buff, or a nerf? Well if Reaper gets 20% the health that an enemy kills, he gets more health for 100%ing an enemy with more than 250 health, which there is a decent portion of. You get less health for killing enemies with less than 250 health. However this change encourages Reaper to act in more situations. Perhaps you didn't want to take out the full health Roadhog because you were at 50 health? Well now you'll be healing as your fighting, and odd are you'll get first strike as reaper.

This change also positively affects his Death Blossom. Previously you'd want to be full health before using it, but now you can use it with low health knowing you'll heal it back as you're using it. It will even help you sustain through the attack itself.

The downsides are that there are no health drops from enemies killed by your allies, or from your allies themselves. So now you can't go looking for, but need to take it yourself.
---

It's a buff in any 1v1 situation, squishy or no. In bigger fights it might be more disadvantageous.

We shant go to Hanamura, tis a silly place.

Anybody familiar with OBS? I keep tweaking settings to try to output in 1080p, but it always comes out in 720p, and looking really pixely.

Not sure if I'm liking the reaper change. I don't think you get health for attacking shields (which kinds sucks).

So I watched Stylosas newest video with Sombra pro play use and now im amazing at sombra, like wow, im ready to use her in comp after playing her for a few hours in quickplay (and Ive done this before). The knowledge really helped me.

Sombra is so awesome! But I'd say not to use her in comp cause people don't know how to play with her on their team. But maybe you'll get lucky and get a team that communicates and understands how good hacked health packs are.

I like this change. Dupes gave way too little coins. Also, currency boxes give way too little coins as well.

THANK YOU BLIZZARD!, Maybe now whenever we open 5+ boxes we won't be so disappointed by the results,
White, White, Blue, White,
Blue, White, Blue, White.
White, White, Blue, White.
White, Blue, White, Blue,
White, Blue, Purple, White.
White, Blue, White, White.

Seriously, that's the result of 6 boxes last night, its so goddamn frustrating, especially when MOST OF THOSE ARE DUPES.

Blizzard also made some similar positive changes to hearthstone card packs.

They must be in a good mood

Level 600! One more level and I'll have a silver border.

Also just played with a level 1900 guy.
