Lol wait people are trying to do those wall run shots on Hanzo because Seagull does it?
 
Just opened five boxes that I saved up and got a whole load of poop. Only worthwhile stuff was one Junkrat skin (who I've never even used) and one over-the-shoulder victory pose for Widowmaker (hot).
 
You know what's important about Seagull? He doesn't completely ignore the importance of using his trickshots and fancy moves to help his damn team push the objective.

Look, if you want to spend the match learning how the mechanics and gimmicks of a character work, fine. But if you're just running past the objective to do a big fat nothing and get yourself killed, well, you've earned the scorn.

Man, one game I kept using my Mercy resurrect to revive a single D.va. Felt like a waste every single time. =D I really need to keep track of my teammates better.

The worst part is, as a D.Va, getting resurrected is actually pretty stressful because I need to find a safe place to activate my mech immediately. Anybody else would be better!

So decided to check it out, and from the loot boxes up to lv 21 and $30 worth on the shop, I had gotten 9 legendaries, plus a legendary currency (500g). 4 of the skins (plus the legendary currency) are from the leveling, 4 are from the shop, and the last I paid gold with.

I don't know what it is today.

The wins have felt like normal wins...

The losses have felt like having a mountain dropped on me. Like being forced into a staring contest with a train. Seriously, I've been rolled so hard today I think my future children will feel my shame...

Salt salt salt.

Mercy's ult pops so fast that I find myself using it for just one or two revives unless the situation is really starting to look grim. It's probably a bad tactic but I feel like I'm wasting it if I just sit on it for most of the match

It charges so fast that my rule of thumb usually is if you can rez two people, it's probably worth it.

The only thing that keeps me from leaving matches as soon as DEFEAT rolls across my screen these days is the knowledge that I'll be able to vote down the match so I can try to convince the game to never match me with anyone on my shitty team ever again.

If you were trying to actually learn those characters, you probably wouldn't jump right into doing whatever you see Seagull doing. He's a dude with a foundation that he's built on over time. So yeah, I'm going to ridicule people for refusing to focus on the fundamentals of characters over trying flashy shit that accomplishes nothing.

Then I agree with you. I assumed these were people who could sometimes hit stuff and were just trying new things. Obviously if your arrow accuracy is 5% anyway, going for those trick plays is completely pointless and silly. I just assumed this was not the case because it was closed beta and we're talking about people who are deep enough into the game that they tune into streams and pick things they want to try from other players. Most Hanzo players seem to have never seen the character before joining my game, so at this point I'd be positively surprised if they knew how to climb walls and shoot arrows at the same time.

Your future descendants will speak of the great shame their ancestor brought upon them during the Great War of Overwatch.

The only way to prevent this is to commit sudoku.

I kill 5 days back to back as Reaper without my uber and then a Gengi kills 2 duded with an uber and he gets play of the game.

I will not sleep tonight.

My whole team dies on the point, I'm the only one alive as reaper, I do my little mist shit and hide around the corner, come back and literally kill their whole team with my uber. I save the game.

Junkrat kills 3 guys and gets play of the game.

I will never sleep again.

Blizz is racist against Reapers.

I really don't understand why this option doesn't exist on console.

Another game on hanamaru, instead of defending last spot team members all go hunting for them in the last 30 seconds letting them all stampede in for the capture. To add insult to injury they turn and mow down the group as they return from the front entrance.

A lot of the time I get rezzed in a bad place, and have to instantly call my mech only for it to instantly blow up.

Injured my right hand at work and now I cant play the game (or any other for that matter) because of it. Just my kind of luck ;_;

How did they all manage to miss the entire enemy team passing by?

Classic Overwatch moment.
 
To continue the Reaper pity party, I had a game earlier on Route 66 where I literally saved the match. The cart was at the edge of being capped, and we go into overtime. I dance around the cart in ghost form, getting an ult off for a quintuple kill to clear them off the cart and then shotgunning down their WInston that tried to jump in. Even managed to get PotG for it.

I only got a single vote. :(

Wait wait... When D.va revives, is her ultimate maxed and ready? If so, then I don't feel so bad... unless I revive her alone among the other team... heh (Though I suppose that might be the perfect opportunity to get a titan fall kill? )

Damn. Just had an escort mission where every checkpoint came down to the last couple of seconds. Managed to use junkrat's stupid wheel to get 4 or 5 kills to secure the first checkpoint. Felt pretty sweet and cheap.

Damn, that's ridiculous that we console peasants don't get it ;___;

XBL used to have this for all games. You could go to a person's profile and there was an option to "avoid this player" and that player wouldn't be matched with you but people abused it and I think it no longer does anything now.

I always seem to have it full when I get revived. Even if it's not automatically full, unless the D.va player is terrible, two lives should be more than enough for her to get Meka back.
