Overwatch |OT2| A New Low in Unlocking and Microtransaction Systems

Forgot I had a $20 PSN card so said fuck it. Got 24 boxes and only got 1 legendary and it was junkrat scarecrow (gag) and not enough gold to buy a 1k skin. I got SO many duplicates. So disappointed dupes give you like 15 credits.

I'm not salty because I'm happy to give some money to blizz and got some decent player icons but man 1 yellow in 24 boxes is shit

My only POTG so far was with Torbjorn. It was weird because it was a Lifesaver POTG where I actually saved myself. I had a turret set up when a Reinhardt pinned me and was about to kill me but the turret shot and killed him, saving me.
 
Yeah, she's such a nice solution to so many problems. Snipers holding down your team in their comfy nests? Rockets. A team sitting on the payload? Rockets. Symmetra and Torbjorn turrets? Rockets. Bastion? Rockets.

Torbjorn turrets are actually kind of a bitch to deal with 'cause of the autoaim. You can kill them, but if there's multiples you don't wanna stick around in the air.

Dupes need to give slightly more for sure.

Or they should get rid of dupes period.

My awful stats.

Also I plan on adding everyone on the google doc, so apologies for the friend request spam but I can't not stand this game in solo q.

Good Widows can trace a Pharah pretty well. If there's a good Widowmaker you have to think twice before taking off into the air.

That's why they aren't selling skins. It's all by design to get more money out of you.

Rocket damage doesn't fall off with distance, and it's unlikely the turret can get out of the way, so I've been strafing in and out of line of sight to take care of them. My Pharah tends to stay on the ground.

I don't feel like I need to buy more, I wouldn't spend more then prob 20 bucks and I had a gift card so why not. I guess I could see people getting addicted

You may not right now, maybe in a month or 6 who knows. That's the design. Not saying you will just that's what they hope you will do. Sucks you only got one skin. That's why I haven't bought any either. The odds of me getting the skin I want are tiny even for $20. I bet they buff rewards when the population dies down.

I dislike stacked groups but in one game on Hanamura (Attack) we were being stopped at point B (of course) and the other 5 players chose Tracer. So I said fuck it and went Tracer because why not? We didn't win but we got super close by getting into the halls and being unpredictable... Just weren't able to hold the objective long enough, obviously. Was kinda fun though. This game allows for some funny and fun shenanigans.

How does Mercy's damage boost work with projectiles, do only the projectiles fired when boosted get the extra damage or does stuff like Hanzo ult benefit from a Mercy boosting them after it was shot?

I usually don't take to the air unless I want to reach a walled perch or want to escape some uncomfortably close short-rangers (e.g. Genji, Reaper, McCree). I'm quite comfortable behind Rinhardht's shield.

Oh, yeah, on the ground she's better than most at dealing with stacked Torbs, since she can kill him and the turret all at once, under the right circumstances. But in the air she tends to get focused down damn fast.

Staying on the ground in general means you're sacrificing her amazing flanking potential, tho.

If you can't counter 3 bastions and Bjorn by now, there's no hope for anything for that team. What utter garbage. Soldier 76 against 4 turrets? Fucking dum
 
I'm trying it's why I'm picking up Genji and Winston to complete my Mercy/Reinhardt/Symmerta combo.

I've given up on Pharah. Every time I take to the air, I'm dead.
Yeah I can play everyone somewhat competently with the exception of Pharah. I just can't crack her for whatever reason. I'd say her rockets need a buff in speed but I see other people destroying with her. Meanwhile I can't figure her out.
 
Arg Torb is such an annoying character to play against. So often people resort to torb on defense when they're losing. It's the sweatpants class of Overwatch, you use him when you stop caring about putting any effort into the game or trying in general.

Yes, I know how to counter him. But even winning against a team of torbs is unsatisfying. I detest even having one on my side.

Interesting. Objectives (be it payload or points) have a 3 person cap. That means they will capture the point faster or move the payload faster with 3 people than with 2 or less, but 4 or more wont make a difference. Thats actually good to know for premades.

Yup, it's mentioned in the OT too. If you have 3 teammates on the payload you should move up and try to protect flanking routes.

Also McCree needs to only be able to flashbang people who are facing him if it is pretty much a hammer fan to kill anyone. =/

I'm legit expecting a cooldown on FTH. I get salty enough as is when I get Flashbang'd in to dead... but him being able to flash, FTH, roll, FTH and kill a tank in 2 seconds is insane. People don't actually realize he had a primary fire and just use his right click 24/7 in lieu of aiming.

mccree needs a giant nerf to flashbang + fan. it's stupid, it's an instant kill you can't get out of on a low cooldown.

It's dumb that that is an instant kill but it takes at least 2 nades to the face to kill him, get out of here

Y'know, as much as I bitch about terrible randoms on here, when it all comes together with a group of people you can barely communicate with, it just feels so good
