Supposedly if you want to play the game properly we've got ranked for that. Quick play is there to do whatever you want according to the dev team. I don't see how these attitudes will just disappear though.
Well, there's currently no reward for winning besides a little XP, so quick play is a mix of competitive and casual players.
You can block, "avoid this player", squelch chat, and report someone. However, if you block their chat, I think they may be unblocked next time you encounter them. And even with "avoid this player" checked, I frequently run into the same players.

Your own teleports count towards the achievement.

My only two Legendary skins are two Chopper Torbjörns, and I absolutely hate that skin. I'd probably prefer a spray or a voice clip over Chopper, since at least I could potentially use those.

The number of Genji and Hanzo players is ridiculous! I rarely encounter multiple Widowmakers as many here seem to be, though.
Seeing a quick slash of death or those damn dragons at every corner is getting real annoying. Worst part is that I think I can only avoid these players as Tracer, and I can't play her for shit.
Ugh, yesterday was really annoying. I know a good way to counter Genji and Hanzo is to play the same, but damn I hate those characters now
A lot of my frustration will probably get alleviated through watching YT tutorials but I don't seem to have the patience for that. I'll take the tough road I guess, learning through repeated mistakes, but at least that will be Quick Play mode.
When is ranked out again?

Yesss. My friends and I did 2 Lucio + 1 Symmetra and it was hilarious. Only worked on maps with a somewhat closed up capture point though.
Speaking of switching, I really hope a priority for Blizzard is adding hero changes in warmup.Odile or Huntress for Widowmaker? What do you prefer?
Odile is better for PotG, but it looks like I'll switch between these two from time to time
They give you tons of sprays, tons of emotes, tons of skins...and then you can only use ONE of each unless you entirely quit the server. What if you find a fun group of random people and want to show off different sprays or skins? Why can't you use 40 seconds of warmup time to change a spray?
This seems like a trivial thing, but I think it would actually help the player experience. Blizzard wants people to buy lots of skins...well, help them show off!
Yup. I seem to recall my first legendary was 40+, but I'd have to search and check.
*edit* I was totally wrong, Night Ops Soldier 76 dropped for me at level 25.

Average is around 1 every 10 boxes. It's very rng though, I got my first one at level 24

Got my first around Lvl 14.
Had an escort match with some randoms on Route 66, two guys picked Mei then we all said it would be funny if we won with her, so everyone picked her.
I didn't think that it would work, but we dominated that match, maybe it was a shitty enemy team, but they really tried to stop us with everything, they even torbjorn turret spammed, but multiple ice walls are great for getting close to turrets without a scratch, the only character i didn't see them switch to was Zarya, it's fun to mess around and win in the process.

Going by the posts in this thread and elsewhere I'd say it's more 1/20, because that's where the supposed pity timer kicks in.
I think its 1/10, but if you haven't gotten one in the last 25 boxes, you are always given a legendary. The pity timer doesn't change the base chance.

Based on the tests people have done, where hundreds of boxes have been openend, it's 1 in 10

Best game of my career, for sure. We were fighting overtime at 99%/99% for a long time at the end of every round and I was just going bananas as Winston.
Winston counters Genji and Hanzo well.The number of Genji and Hanzo players is ridiculous! I rarely encounter multiple Widowmakers as many here seem to be, though.

I've been saying since the beginning that just nerfing FtH's would be a dumb nerf, and everyone told me I was wrong, and now look where we are.
And Widowmaker still seriously needs to have her aim shake when she's being shot at - with the nerfs, the only counter to an average Widowmaker is no longer just another Widowmaker, but the only counter to a GOOD Widowmaker is still a good Widowmaker.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Psst, Trophy/Cheev trick
Get teleporter, die, put porter in spawn room, run through it 6 times...
Repeat, 3 more times
That's the best and fastest way
I got it in Hanamura, hella quick, 2 times during objective A, 3 times objective B
Absolute terrible night of games. The difference between people that know how to play with Mercy and those who don't is staggering. Had one game where people would attack near doors and corners, allowing me to heal without risk of death. 'Twas magic. Then the next? Routinely flanked by Tracer, or abandoned by a Reinhardt charging into the entire team without DPS backup, or hounded by calls of "I need healing" from Widowmakers and Tornbjorns who refuse to move to any place near an edge so that I can jump to them...

In theory I know, but in practice I just see this spiky bouncing outline in the distance that's bunny hopping and I have an awful time hitting it.
For reals?? I'm gonna go all King Kong on these fools!
I haven't even looked at the achievements, haha. I plan on playing enough OW that I'll get most of them naturally, and I'm not gonna worry about the ones I don't.

So what's the verdict on Mccree now? I switched to Roadhogg since the patch and never looked back. RoadHogg is seriously good. insane damage for a tank, hook combo takes out any hero upto 250 hp easy. Can self heal. I spend like 50-60% match on fire with 3-4 gold medals every match. I think He maybe nerfed. At 600 life with 300 self heal and the hook with decent damage at short to medium range I can't see any weakness in him. Also Roadhogg compliments well with any team. As you stick close and protect your teammates while pulling people in you will stay on fire like whole match. If you take damage just run and heal up with self heal.
On a side not lol at Mccree's that try to take me on face to face. I just laugh at their stun and fan combo then pull him and send him back to spawn point instantly lol. Aside from high noon Mccree doesn't have anything going for him anymore. Even to take out a reaper he needs to be dead on with his hammer. Or reaper will just phase shift away lol. I think Mccree is useless not. Tracer and Reaper does his job much better now. Only place where I see mccree useful is those king of the hill modes with a good high noon from a good position where he will not be interrupted.

Good mccrees that actually know how to aim still do pretty good from my experience. Flash fan still good for flankers. What do you mean reaper and tracer does his job much better? The job of taking out reapers and tracers?
His hair is usually a good spot to aim from my experience.

So really the best thing to look forward to are custom server games? Because their ranked sounds like its the perfect set up for the highest level of toxicity.

McCree, Tracer and Reaper are all very different. They're different counters to different characters. It depends on what characters are in the enemy team.

His close range damage is lower but he's still a pretty brutal close to mid combo. I use his LMB a great deal more than I did. He gets fewer free kills on sitting ducks, but he's still a very capable hero.

Is this why there are sometimes completely useless teleporters in pub games
truestatic

I imagine that's more because people don't know how the fuck to set up a teleporter and just assume it works like a TF2's engi tele does. If you use all 6 of your teleports yourself you can empty that shit in probably 2 seconds.

Only flankers mccree can relatively take down with some guarantee is Tracer due to her 150 life. But aside of them you gotta stand literally and inch away from stunned targets for you to get a one fan KO. or else reaper will just phase away, Mei will freeze you or iceblock. Junk rat will launch and escape, widow will grapple away etc. You cannot guarantee every shot of fan to hit unless you are right next to them. I think they should up the damage on fan by 50 more. Cause right now Aside from high noon Mccree got nothing going for him. Even at long range hanging back his bullets cause 35 damage. At medium range you are not beating a soldier or tracer or pharaoh one on one(a good one). Not even genji. I think even good Mccree will have tough hill to climb against any other dpser unless its close range where he excelled until the patch. He should be move to a support character lol. Cause that's what he is now.

New McCree is still fine as a left-clicking accuracy hero and also as a slower offense character, but there's almost no reason to ever use Fan the Hammer now.
It also means that despite being the offense character designed to take down offense characters, he now can't deal the damage needed to kill them before they escape. If anything, Blizzard should have repurposed him as the anti-tank offense character and nerfed Flashbang instead.

Yeah, they are easy preys for him. The hard part is to get in behind enemy lines, disrupt them and grab a few kills, and jump out again before they kill you. I havnt nailed it just yet, but its fun when you do it perfectly.
Watch out for reaper and bastion, they melt you like butter.

Til you stop MMing with teams higher than you and go on a hot streak. It all comes out in the wash.
Unless you're that one korean girl with her 80% win rate.

He was meant to be a beast up-close though. From mid-range Soldier 76 does it better. If McCree's FTH is really that bad post-patch, then he should at least get a slight health buff or something.
