I want Frankenrein.
I HATE teammates who refuse to team up or just leave you to finish the job, I only do it if its a king of the hill and its a distraction tactic. Even then I tell them on chat to **** them and head to the point.
Does more damage too.
Its so situational. The genji should be dashing through him and bouncing above him, not just standing there trying to out dps mcree.

I have a serious dilemma. Do I buy the black Mariachi Reaper skin or the white one? Whichever I choose I know I'm going to immediately regret it

Its a lot better then Hearthstone, but HS is a F2P game.
Man they both look real dope. But if you get the black one you can combo it with the "I'm back...in black" voice line

I get there has to be some incentive to buy boxes, but there HAS to be a happy medium. This isn't a free to play game. The boxes either need a huge buff, or the leveling needs to be speed up.
Bingo. And in HS, you can sell any card you want. In this, you can only sell dupes. It's stupid.

A couple of my friends and I decided in defending a capture map last night that the 3 of us would be Symmetras and hope the rest of the team would follow suit to turn the point we were defending into a death trap.
As soon as we selected our Symmetras, the rest of the team realized what we were going for and picked her as well. The other team couldn't even capture the first point. We utterly stomped them and at one point had 6 teleporters active. It was the most fun I've had yet.
Next game we picked Mei and got the other players to pick her as well and we did horrible and it was still fun.

Yeah a system where you can dust unwanted shit would be great, I won't even try and deny that one.
I've spent $50 on crates but I don't feel bad about it. Blizzard has enough of my money already, $50 is chicken scratch.

IMO, either the boxes need a buff, or faster leveling, or every level should give 3-5 boxes (random). Something has to give.
it's absolutely acceptable
when people in here admit they just randomly dropped 200-300 bucks on loot boxes, yeah its plenty acceptable

I would have scrapped nearly all of the shit legendaries I got so far if that would mean I could buy one that I actually want.

If you hit level 10, 25, 50 etc you should get some extra boxes I would say.
If they keep to their word and make all heroes and extra content free (and I would be severely disappointed if they didn't) monetize the crates as much as they need to. I don't think its that bad of a system for something that is semi gambling.

WTF, who said they dropped that much coin? lolit's absolutely acceptable

Was googling terms like "460 to 750 comparison" but never came across that page. Dang... Glad I asked then. Really wish I was able to play during the open beta, that would have been the best way to see (and if it did run, if the performance was good enough to not ruin the experience).
Thanks man.

I average a box every 45 minutes. That's not awful.
But it'd be nice to earn some boxes via other (tangential) methods. Weekly brawls? Certain achievements or milestones? I dunno, something.

I'm getting penalized for leaving a match early. But I was disconnected from the server... Damn.

Yeah I like the gambling with random boxes stuff. But it needs work. Bad. At the very least, every 10 levels should drop a supply chest with like 5 boxes in it. Something.

How the fuck does 6 active teleports even work? You have 6 portals at spawn and you have to guess where each one of them goes?
The fuck is this, a Megaman boss rush stage?

Oh right! Completing the weekly brawl should net you a box.
Basically just add all the conveniences of Hearthstone, but like I said that's a F2P game. Blizzard has surely ran the numbers and know what they are doing but more freebies would be good.
I wouldn't mind loot boxes that much if each match had a chance of also giving you a loot box, that way I didn't have to grind a level for one.
That's one of the ones I was hoping to get, now when I get 1k gold, I can buy one for Pharah.

I wouldn't mind one box for playing a weekly, and another for winning. That would be 2 quick boxes.
I feel fine about it. Content wise it's just enough, though more maps and modes would be great. It's a game you can just always hop on and play and not have to worry about being left in the dust because you don't have the latest gear or whatever. Everyone is always on the same playing field so I could drop the game for weeks, come back whenever and still enjoy it like I never left. Also helps that it's a Blizzard game and they'll support it for years + give us free content.

I'm around there (level 39) with 1500 and 2 legendary skins. 1k came from 2 500 legendary coin drops. So effectively 4 legendary drops so far which is pretty average from what I understand for that much time invested.
Good point
Fuck
How are you finding pugs?
I've spent 320 bucks so far.
Thank you for my future heroes
