Just got D.Va Legendary Skin. This is the best skin for her by a long long margin
Still not a big fan of it, will probably wait for the next batch of skins.

Got some legendarys but all for characters i dont play much.
Yeah, it's the MKX of shooters. It's a fighting game x FPS x strategy game.

What's worse: Never getting legendaries from loot boxes or only getting legendaries that you dislike/getting legendaries for characters you don't use often?
Because the latter keeps happening to me.
Because the latter keeps happening to me.
It took me a while to figure this out during beta. I feel they should make it a tad bigger.
That's not surprising, they could do a lot more to make it obvious she's powering up. The only indicators are the number (small, hard to see) and the glowing sphere (vague, out of line of sight).
I'm not expecting a lot of characters for this, no where near typical MOBA levels.
I'm thinking more maps, maybe one or two more modes, and things we haven't really seen like co-op or three-ways.
Do it. Become the mememaker.
Yeah, seems like Blizzard knew that CTF simply doesn't work in class/hero based shooters or at least saw how terrible and unpopular the mode is in TF2. I could make a whole thread about all the things Overwatch got influenced by TF2 for the better.
I've learnt very quickly that even if the matchmaking puts people together who are equally skilled, if one team has a bad character composition it's going to be a uphill struggle. It's almost impossible to carry a game full of randoms, which you can definitely do in CoD and TF2. Way more teamwork is required for this game.
Level 18 and still no legendary skin. I only get sprays, voice lines and player icons. I'm so mad. In the beta I got so much cool stuff and here nothing.

God I love him. If I feel stressed I just pop that boy in and roll over the other team.

Only way I could see it working is if holding the flag locked you out of your normal abilities/weapons.
Flag carriers would just have the ability to jump, melee with the Flag, and if they want to borrow from Halo, shoot a basic sidearm & be able to toss or drop the flag.

I'd honestly rather get voice lines, emotes, poses and all that nonsense for characters I like than a skin for some trash character I hate like Reaper or Mei.

Well, I wouldn't call CTF unpopular in TF2. 2Fort is probably one of the most played maps in the game, and probably in general.
2Fort is, and always was, a garbage map though, yeah. Overwatch wouldn't do it any better.

someone go tank plz need tank so and so go tank we need tank
(nobody stays with tank and just runs ahead as flankers and dies)
(nobody stays with tank and just runs ahead as flankers and dies)
Pretty much.
Well, for cast diversity, animations, and environments MKX is above the pack. That's what I was getting at. Both games have cowboys, robots, ninjas, scantily clad female assassins, bow and arrow dude, tough guy soldier, brawlers, etc., etc.
Every time I play dota it saddens me that my team would rather type dumb shit than play better. Hopefully this doesn't become like that.
I mean unpopular with the veteran/skilled community. Sure your average random player will love CTF because it's an excuse to go Engineer and camp in a corner, but anyone who's played TF2 for a long amount of time despises CTF.

Yeah, premades are definitely not immune from being zoning out when it comes to getting stomped.
The black and green Sporty skin looks cool but that and Slipstream are the only ones I like.
OMG those sunglasses are awesome

Reaper is tank, he has lots of hp for attacker guy
I play Reinhardt like 90% of the time but nobody stays near me ever.

In my experience, Reinhardt is just as likely to charge in by himself and die.

Some of these players I get grouped up with really don't want to succeed
Why yes Lucio leave the Tank and get annihilated by the Defense set up for you
Oh yes Widowmaker and Junkrat, stay in our base and lob grenades or shoot from the perch
What's that buzzing sound, oh the enemy Symetra put up her little light show, yeah don't destroy them, let them eat away your health
A Pharah don't use your jet pack or D.Va use your boost to do knock back, yet get caught in the geometry well behind enemy lines and die over and over
Yes Mei please put up the ice wall as Attack right at the start stalling your own team, giving the enemy 3-5 sec to setup more >_<
Gotta love Reapers who Teleport right into enemy fire, you can almost half warp to the other side of the map and you choose to spawn into crossfire, you do realize there's a delay and you will get clobbered

Nothing pains me more than seeing a Dva try to snipe people from across the map.
Every time I play as Mercy the other team make sure to target me exclusively while my team just leave me for dead
Ideally in this game it will be cordoned off into the competitive mode when that is reintroduced. The sad thing about Dota is that it's prevalent in both ranked and unranked matchmaking. People in Dota are incorrigible.

I'm loving this game so far. It really nails that "One more round..." gameplay addiction. My only complaint is that I'd like to have another way to earn loot boxes. The current setup is a little too "Fuck you, give us money." for my tastes. A daily challenge system for wins/kills/ultimate uses would be most welcome.
One team has to lose, you have a lot more fun if you don't let it get to you and work on improving your game and hopefully the team backs you up, if not not that big a deal. This applies to all the games I play online like my thousands of hours in Dota 2. Of course it's frustrating on a losing streak but then take a break and come back later.

I wish her hair was long on that one, that's probably my main issue with the Scavenger one I have (the other color of this)

Go Tank, Mercy goes heal McCree close to enemy lockdown area, by flying away, dieing, now your team waits for her to come back only to fly past you again use her ultimate to revive 2 dead teammates, because 3 vs 6 look so good...
While you as a Tank and 2 DD's are trying to push up together...
Some Mercy's are just horrible

damn that genji tho
How does he have the aiming circle into a smaller circle? (in the middle to aim)
Attach yourself to a tank and hide behind them
Lots of teams are bad about not watching their flanks, and Mercy's are in deep shit when they see a Tracer appear. But you should always be close enough to a team member to zip over to them and make it their problem.Also, fuck Tracer.

I think the most satisfying thing I've done so far is counter a Genji who just popped his ult with a Reinhardt's charge. I can only imagine how upset he was. I've tackled a few time bomb D.Va ult's too, but the Genji one made me smile more.
