Overwatch gets Summer Games update (new mode in Weekly Brawl, new skins/etc)

Level up Box got me this <3

I hate you.

I don't but I hate you
 
My free box had the Bastion boxing emote, which is hilarious. I also got Young Hanzo Legendary skin and the Mei Table Tennis player icon, which is nifty.

Not a bad free box.

Played one match of Lucio ball and I don't really get it. Lost 5-0 and the other team seemed to know exactly what they were doing. Oh well, maybe better luck next time.
 
So, I did the 50 because I've been holding off on loot boxes for a while anyways and I like the game enough to throw them that.

The olympics stuff definitely drops pretty often. You get old stuff too, but I think it prioritizes olympic stuff. 5 boxes in and I've gotten 76's olympic victory pose, 5 olympic sprays(lol), Genji olympic skin and 3 olympic icons
 
Lol people still whining about cosmetic microtransactions?

The alternative is way worse

What's the "alternative"? I don't think people who want these items are whining about microtransactions so much as gamble box microtransactions. If they just sold skins for a few bucks each up front, I think most people would be fine with it. Of course that makes them less money... :P
 
I seriously cannot relate to those in the thread complaining about this.

It's a patch with new cosmetic content from loot boxes, and a lot of it is honestly great looking.

Yes, please.
 
I mean, I love this skin, but her original hair is still far and away the best.




Screwed. And not in the nice Pharmercy way.

Oh so youre into that too? * fist bump *

Yea, that's what sucks about it. I guess there is also a bit of a lure that it's purely based on luck so you know not everyone will have them.
 
I can't stop playing Overwatch anyway so I'll be playing this a ton. Hope I get something good out of it considering my last 10 or so lootboxes have been lame.

I can't wait for Christmas. Roadhog NEEDS a Santa suit and his hook must be a candy cane!
This needs to happen! I want a big Christmas event with specials skins like you mentioned. Mercy can be an Angel, Reinhardt or Bastion can be a snowman and so on, Would be cool too of the maps got Christmas themed redesigns just for the Holidays.
 
24 boxes and $20 later...

Sprinter Tracer with new highlight intro (most wanted by far)

Roadhog spray + dive icon

Bastion and Lucio emotes

Fuck ton of voice lines.

I'm relatively satisfied. The amount of times the only new thing is a voice line is very lame however. Especially if it's a dupe :O
 
Alright so I decided to try 5 boxes, and blam got the new D.Va epic skin not only in one but in two of the boxes lol, along with getting one of the new legendary skins for Zarya (that I suck at playing <.<), and one for Soldier 76.

Well it was a good test round.XD I might throw in another $5 later on, but meh. I like Lucio skins, but I not going to be sad much if I miss out on them.
 
I said never would, but I bought some boxes.
Got Tracer's legendary Summer Games skin, so I'm happy.

... also got Dick Tracy McCree, lol.
Some more left to open.
Edit: Torborjn's epic Summer skin.
 
looks like a good zarya sk--
'no pixiecut'
FUCK
Zarya's cosmetics are so bad, and it makes me sad, because she's more or less my main now, especially in competitive.

How hard is it to keep her basic face and hair and give her an interesting outfit?

And her voice lines are all dreadful, too.
 
So the lootboxes have all the original items and then guaranteed one item from the summer update. I thought it was going to be a choice between regular and summer loot box. Hopefully the chance to get skins is a little higher or something.
