Board 8 > Overwatch: Halloween Terror 2017. October 10th - November 2nd.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It is when you're paired with morons. No way I'm going for the sprays. Too annoying.

There's 12 waves of bonus bosses. The game ends once you kill all wave 12 bosses, but it will continue to spawn new waves of mobs after that point if you haven't killed them all.

The last several times I've tried to play the mode nobody wants to heal. In the regular one people will literally just leave if they have to be Ana or pick her and then quit so the team is down a character. In Endless everybody wants to be snipers and Genji. I mean nobody ever seems to want to win any mode of this game aside from FFA where it IS a solo game instead of a team game.

I hope they fix this stage name display bug on Tuesday. It's so confusing not knowing which KotH map I am actually going to be playing because it'll say Lijiang Tower Garden and actually be Control Center or say Nepal Sanctum and actually be the Shrine stage.

Made it to Bonus 13 in Endless. Not sure it's even possible to get further. There were seriously like 8 Reapers and Roadhogs if not more. 4 of the Hogs ult'd at the same time and combined with the Riptires we got destroyed instantly.

Played the regular one on Normal and got more kills and damage than McCree and Soldier. Also had 76 head shots, but that's not too impressive on Normal. I just wanted to see how many I could get in the thing to see if I could get a card for it and you can't so oh well

Got Zarya's skin! 4 more to go

I have been to Bonus 15.

It didn't have a timer to the next wave, it just said defeat all the bosses.

(We didn't though.)

Damn, that's impressive. Also fuck Flashbang. I thought this was a close range tool for McCree to stun and take out an enemy not something he can hit me 30 feet away with and then kill me. I am seriously being hit around the corner at the top of stairs from McCree at the bottom of the stairs :/

Got 19 kills on FFA and just barely got beaten by a McCree. That was amazing!

Yeah I tried my first FFA and beat everyone silly as Tracer which was a lot of fun. The Junkrat was leading up until about kill 15 and then I pulled ahead and won. A few people taunted me afterward for playing "no skill Tracer" which was pretty lol
---

Shit I forgot to include that was with Reinhardt. That's why I was so happy!

I really enjoy FFA because I'm good at it. My win rates with Doomfist and Soldier 76 are over 60%.

I'm decent at normal team stuff too, but inconsistent. FFA is nice because I don't have to worry about letting other people down. I've been playing the game a lot more since they added it.
---

Don't you mean it's nice because you don't have to worry about other people letting you down? I had a regular match the other day where Mercy kept reviving our Widow who was dying nonstop >_>

I don't get too upset about other people's performance unless they're like really blowing it hard for some reason. I'm more concerned about screwing things up for more serious players who care about winning more than I do.
---

because they will probably be mean to me ;_;
---

I played a custom game last night that was 12 player Mystery FFA Deathmatch with low Cooldowns and fast Ults.

That was crazy fun. Unless you got Symmetra. Best strategy there was to just walk into death and reroll.

Top 5 characters I hate facing in FFA

1. McCree - fuck your Flashbang stun and kill stealing
2. Roadhog - also too good at stealing kills and can run away while healing
3. Pharah - look at me I can win with 0 direct hits because my splash damage is ridiculous and great at stealing kills. I'm so good.
4. Genji - also steals tons of kills and his main method of doing so resets cooldown
5. D.Va - can boost in with matrix and rocket you up close. Can also eat lots of Ultimates just by glancing at them.

Honorable mention to Junkrat who I love, but it way too good in a lot of spots on the FFA maps.

Roadhog's the worst for me. It's so hard for one character to do enough damage to kill him.

Pharah's my number 2 because she pretty much hard counters Doomfist and he's my fave. Sombra is similarly annoying because getting hacked makes him totally useless.
---

Endless does end at bonus wave 15, at least on Normal.

Had a hot widow dropping'em like flies.

Oh my god I won a FFA with Reinhardt

thanks to my last loot box I am now the owner of every Lucio highlight intro

I feel like the luckiest boy on Earth.

Huh, had an FFA game time out for the first time. Top four were 15/14/14/14. 3 Dvas and a Roadhog were in that match.

Was on Eichenwalde and I kept getting group kills in the tower with the big health pack. Second place was a Widowmaker who was at like 14 kills

I haven't played FFA in a while, I didn't realize Eichenwalde was an option.

There's the PotG of the first time I got 19 kills with Reinhardt in FFA

hell yeah I got Zarya's skin
---

Wish Flashbang was line of sight only and didn't work on enemies McCree can't directly see. It's fine in normal games, but cheesy as fuck in FFA

After two loot boxes that had nothing but duplicates, I broke down and just bought the Cthulhu Zenyatta skin. I've also come to the realization that I really hate KotH matches.
---

I'm seeing a lot of people get to 19 wins and then switch to Widowmaker to get their 20th

Dva and Roadhog are my least faves in FFA. They just take a lot of effort to kill compared to anyone else. That matrix nerf really weeded out the bad Dva players , it feels like
---

I feel like you can spot the bad McCrees really easily in FFA aka they're the ones who only have Flashbang+hammer kills and get like 20-19 K/D per match lmao

Junkrat, Roadhog or McCree almost always win FFA in my experience and I've never seen a match without them

Ok multiple Doomfists are cancer

My favorite way to deal with FFA McCrees is to pick Winston and single them out until they switch to Reaper.

That also works with the Genjis too lol

True, although I don't see them as often. The nice thing about Winston is that the characters who counter him can't necessarily catch him (especially on a map like Chateau) so it's harder to be 'forced' off of playing him

can you still get free loot boxes by linking your twitch account to overwatch?
---

That feeling when you spawn in FFA right next to a wall of Symmetra turrets and die immediately....yeah that's fun

yes

That feeling when you enter a FFA match in progress and spawn next to a group of people before any of the character models have loaded.

(That said, if you're playing Sym in Deathmatch and not setting up at spawn points you're doing it wrong.)
---

I have that happen a LOT. I sometimes get killed by invisible enemies because they haven't loaded yet :/

I am so sick of McCree's bullshit in FFA. Seriously like 400~ games now probably and I've seen maybe 5 legitimately good McCrees....

Man now I remember why I quit doing QP solo. It seems worse than ever even though it's probably still the same. People are so terrible at such simple instructions that a 3 year old could follow....

The last four loot boxes I have gotten have all been duplicates. Yay
---

go into ranked game, during setup "an unexpected error has occurred"

I turn the game back on instantly; doesn't matter, suspended for 10 minutes and -50 SR

excellent
---

on the bright side i opened a loot box and got dragon symmetra, completing all the skins i wanted from halloween (zen, zarya, symm) hooray
---

The only Halloween skin I want this year is McCree's, and I've gotten all of them except his and Sym's.
---

Played some Comp matches with Mac (all 10 placements and like 2-3 matches after). We had some really great matches and only like 3-4 total losses with one or two being because somebody left our team, but that happened to the enemies twice at least so it evened out. I got placed in Gold and I dunno how much SR you gain per win, but I'm likely 1-2 wins away from being Plat so that's pretty neat I guess.
