What DLC?
It doesn't count as a loss, so you can use it to practice a new hero with no repercussions. Sometimes it is actually possible to turn the tables, which feels awesome, but yeah, not very common.
Sorry. I guess I said the wrong term.

Well, I've played 70 hours and only have 1 legendary I actually wanted from drops, so I wouldn't say it's "easy.". And it can take quite a while to save up enough to buy even 1 legendary. I think the boxes are just fun to open, and that certainly helps. It doesn't feel like a total rip-off like Valve's crate systems do.

I still haven't played Grim Fandango because of the edgy tryhard- skullguy.

Sporty.
Let's just spread the lie that for each time you quit, your next loot box is guaranteed to be WWBW. Less quitters and no one will ever be able to tell anyway.
If Junkrat's ability wasn't on a CD, it would certainly hurt him.
Yep, I guess I prefer that one.
Now to choose what victory pose I want to go with it. I have enough for that.
Wierd. I have gotten 3 leg skins and enough gold to pick one of my own. I'm only lvl 40.
They have zero effect on the enjoyment of the game and you literally earn them by playing.
Paying for frickn voice clips and sprays is just pissing money out the door.
But don't let me stop anyone. I will enjoy the free dlc when it comes because of the system.
Mach T or T Racer
Sorry, bought Sporty already
Though now I'll be saving up for one of those I guess, yeah.

Yeah
I agree tho, not reason to pay for the cosmetic stuff since you can just unlock them. I guess some people don't want to wait/gamble for the stuff they are looking for.Got the achievement for 20 kill streak last night as my boy Roadhog.
The default tracer skin is the best one, It's iconic.

Same. I'm always seeing everyone make these crazy plays and insane shots then I try and I'm lucky to even get one kill.
I like/use the purple and white Punk one. I forget what it's called.

Gotta lead your targets bro, no need to be up in the air constantly either.
Ez. Just rain justice from above.
Double healer works so well in this game. Guys if you are already for example Lucio and someone chooses Mercy, don't switch heroes! Lucio and Mercy is almost auto win. Lucio and Lucio also works you just have to coordinate a bit. I feel like I get 90% win rate with this team combo: Lucio, Mercy, Reinhardt, Winston/Zarya, McCree and Soldier/Junkrat/Pharah.

I can't agree more, it sucks when I'm trying to heal while getting shot and my "healee" does nothing to assist me...it usually dooms us both

I mean when you have games as an attacker and you get a gold medal for OBJ time by being only 5 seconds on site, those times is when I wish there was a surrender button.
I've noticed this as well. Or 2 good tanks from what I have seen.

It helps if you've played a lot of TF2 Soldier. You need to really learn how to lead your rockets and anticipate peoples' movement. While on the ground, jump and fire at the ground right in front of people. Much easier to do splash damage that way.
You don't always want to be in the air. On maps where you can use buildings as cover like Ilios, it's good to fly around. In maps where you'll just be floating around, it's easy to be killed by 76 or Widowmaker. You need to surprise people and support your team from above and behind, not just float around dropping rockets on people until Widowmaker shoots you. Always keep track of your cooldowns. Firing concussive blast at the ground in front of you or on the wall next to you can launch you to safety if your launch is on cooldown or you're in an area with a low ceiling.
Double Lucio in KoTH automatically makes it twice as hard for the enemy team to win.
NEVER use speed unless you want to get your team back to the fight, escape an ult or escape death yourself.
It fucks up your teammates aim, especially if you switch back and forth between heal and speed.
Heal from both Lucio won't stack but it will cover a large area if you both decide to spread out, big enough for everyone to be constantly healing all the time.
It's nice to not care for most of the legendaries. Heck, I have a couple alternate colors for Torbjorn but I'm still using the red because I think it looks best.
The downside is that when I finally do see that gold disc flying out of a box, I'll already know it's not going to be one of the few I actually want. I'm not even using the two legendaries I have (one from a level up, one from the $2 I spent). Saving up the credits is going to take a while at the rate I'm going.

Nah, the origins skin is the best one.
Lucio doesn't die to hooking unless his sonic boom is on cool down. As soon as I arrive in Roadhog's face he gets popped away several feet and I take minimal damage. But if it's on cool down, yeah that's a death.
Dude shoots tree trunks. :/
Don't know about that but it's definitely 2 McCree and one widowmaker
Roadhog gets to shoot before you knock back.

Yuck.
I've had one legendary so far, the black Mariachi Reaper. It's such a great skin it's a shame I never use the guy.
2 Zarya 2 Lucio the definite KOTH strat
Roadhog can actually shoot while he is pulling you in, Just ever so slightly before you can get out of stun.
Most players wait for the enemy to be right in front of them before they shoot that won't work with Lucio or Genji.

On king of the hill maps maybe but those things are like a mosh pit.
Hmm weird. All the Roadhogs I've faced have waited until I arrived in his face to shoot and by then I'm unstunned and pushing him back.

Lucio/Mercy combo is too good so it's in basically every match. Two tanks is really good but sometimes they'll get away with just one. Double McCree is very common too.

Play Pharrah like you would a Direct Hit Soldier in TF2. She has splash damage, but most of her damage comes from hitting people instead of feet. Her abilities are pretty straightforward. She can use her concussion missile as a movement tech for a speed boost. If there are snipers around, try not to stay in the sky longer than you have to, etc.
If you're good at TF2 Soldier, however, you'll find that she's rather boring.
There's a split second where you can shoot once they get there before the player can react. Its really noticeable with Mei because unless they react slow I always take damage before I can iceblock and that is with me mashing on shift as soon as I'm hooked.
