same experience

over 30 boxes in beta I got 4 legendaries

I'm 15 now without a single epic/legendary skin

Same. Either my regular luck has shown up or they lowered the drop rates or purple and yellow loot in the full game because they can now sell boxes.

 

[Clipse]

I hope we get a ton more skins soon. Not feeling the Lucio ones.

I feel the same way about D.va, Tracer and Mercy's Legendary skins. Yuck.

 

[Stone Ocean]

My lootboxes are garbage holy shit

No they aren't. They're awful. His and Roadhog's are embarrassingly bad.

Sharkhog is amazing, what are you talking about

 

[Tecnniqe]

I hate you.

Ōkami yo waga teki wo kurae!

 

[jon bones]

i like my legendary hockey Lucio :/

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Got a legendary skin and of course it's a shitty McCree one, i don't even use that wild west fuck that often.

 

[TheLetdown]

No they aren't. They're awful. His and Roadhog's are embarrassingly bad.

I kinda like the Polynesian Roadhog but I agree that Lucio's got some baaaaaaaad outfits.

I'm kinda glad because he's ridiculously good so he needs some balance.

Sure, you negated half of my team's damage and halved the time it took to get back on respawn but you still look like a douche.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

They REALLY need to increase the cooldown on Tracer's dashes.

 

[TheLetdown]

I feel the same way about D.va, Tracer and Mercy's Legendary skins. Yuck.

Wha!? Junebug is the best skin in the game, in my opinion, and I like the Punk/Ultraviolet Tracers. (Got an Ultraviolet from a loot box!)

 

[Ferrio]

She's made of paper, she needs it.

 

[KevMan1815]

All this talk of loot boxes reminds me. The thing I can't get are player icons. I think I have 2 or 3 and I hit 19 last night.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

They REALLY need to increase the cooldown on Tracer's dashes.

but then she's completely useless and an easy target for everyone which shouldn't be the case.

She already has low damage and the lowest health in the game.

Any good videos or sites out there talking about Hero strengths and weaknesses and map tactics?

Turn off the option to do skirmishes while matchmaking. I turned it on thinking it would keep me busy and it made my matchmaking longer.

Nice, where can I turn this off?

 

[Egg0]

Thinking about picking this up, I only played like 3-4 matches during the beta and it was fun.

Are any of you guys having fun just playing your class with randoms? My friends are more of the Destiny/CoD crowd so I doubt I'll be playing this with them.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Sharkhog is amazing, what are you talking about

yea, amazing to poop on. utterly uninspired.

There's literally a hero that mimics your typical COD/Battlefield player with an assault rifle and a self heal.

Playing before the MMR kicks in can be rough but after that it's fun.

I'm at work and will watch it later, but that filename sounds like a decent idea for a new Overwatch hero.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

They REALLY need to increase the cooldown on Tracer's dashes.

They really need to get rid of widowmakers scope too.

 

[Zeliard]

I just started practicing around with Hanzo again and with my very next loot box after one Brawl game with him I get the Okami skin. It's a sign!

Definitely not lol.

[HariKari]

They really need to get rid of widowmakers scope too.

Coming from a TF2 perspective, the lack of vision restriction makes widowmaker comically easy to use. Very easy to spam with her.

 

[meshwork]

Is there a PC group for overwatch?

The easiest way to find people to play with would probably be to join us in the Overwatch GAF Discord server.

Discord Server (quote to see)

OP also has a link to a Google Docs file that is full of people's gamer tags.

 

[Wanderer5]

Oh yeah, go Lucios.

Had a great time with the gaf group I was in. We won some, we lost some, but it was fun, especially the Hollywood matches. The Hollywood winning team screen is pretty neat.

i'm having fun w/ randoms and even more fun w/ gaf.

i'm trying really hard to sell the game to my CoD-bros... i want to play this with my real friends

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Her damage is not low...what?

She absolutely shreds.

Regardless, adding a second to the cooldown is not going to break her. Right now you can just spam your dashes, it's a bit ridiculous. God forbid people have to think a bit about how they use them instead of just spamming them.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I don't understand the tactic behind Blizzard with those lootboxes.

Shouldn't a legendary skin be very hard to get? i mean why would anyone buy lootboxes if those drop so often?

If you look at CS:GO a knife, the highest reward you can get out of a case is EXTREMELY rare that's why people waste TONS of money on those cases just to get a very rare knife.

Why does Blizzard give us those legendary skins so easily?

 

[Crankshaft]

I am getting sprays. All of them.

Most of mine have been sprays too....

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I have eight or nine gold skins and almost enough credits to buy another. Probably gonna get one for Pharah

Bought crates and I have no regrets

Because there's no in-game economy or trading.

Legendary skins are easy? Do you mean they have the same drop rate as everything else?

Well after 3 dashes she has a cooldown.

This ground is too soft. I wish more of my bones were broken.

But really, they'll be adding more. A lot more. Plus leveling slows down. I'm sure they've analyzed the carrot on a stick factor of this quite a bit.

 

[HariKari]

Why does Blizzard give us those legendary skins so easily?

I think the drop rate is just about right. I got 3 by 17. Not necessarily the 3 I wanted most, but I'll take it.

I think they missed a big opportunity by not adding a shit ton of skins to the game early on. By the time the first major additions roll around, people will have a lot of currency saved up. The reason to buy crates drops.

Of course, if people really are dropping 20-40 dollars on top of the purchase, then that's a good ROI for Blizzard.

Serious question: does anyone actually use crouch for anything other than when using the cart as a shield while pushing? I don't find there are many objects designed to be at such a height that crouching provides better protection. Not that making your character's box smaller isn't a good thing but...eh.

 

[Xeteh]

I feel the same way about D.va, Tracer and Mercy's Legendary skins. Yuck.

You have bad taste! D.Va's Junker and Mercy's Valkyrie are awesome.

Crouching makes your footsteps silent. Its very powerful.
