You'd think they wouldn't let Tracer compete in running on account of her time-bending prowess. But that skin is awright.

 

[AnotherNils]

BMX Reaper is hilarious.

 

[Sir Blaming]

Why do you think theres a map?

If you look at the background stuff, you can see wording for red and blue team.
Just saying thou.

 

[Jarate]

hey guys sorry about not playing tonight, a bunch of people who dont usually play were on

Is BMX XXX is favorite game?

 

[Ertai]

So if there's any (EU) gaffers that are looking for more people to play with on PSN then sign me up. PSN: MisTicErtai

Mostly play evenings, hope to play more in teams as solo is messing me up. Rank 54 right now, down from 63

 

[duckroll]

It's right there on the cards - Rio de Janeiro.

 

[MarioHead3]

It's right there on the cards - Rio de Janeiro.

I assumed that was just promotional olympics-themed art to go with the rest of the stuff rather than an actual new map.

I'd be happy to be wrong though.

 

[Mr. X]

I lose a ton of progress after a loss no matter how well I do in the end and barely gain any progress winning. How does this comp mode progress bar work exactly?

 

[B-Genius]

BMX Reaper is hilarious.

Haha, agreed.
Karate Zen would make me play him for sure.

Really hope they're more than just sprays...

 

[AHappyPanda]

Played solo QP after playing PTR or Ranked exclusively the past few weeks.

Talk about poop tier players...Not that I really mind since its QP and idgaf, but damn, the skill gap (or at least the effort gap) is super apparent.

Well people also just don't give a shit in QP, me included. If I want to learn new heroes or just try out weird tactics, I chill in QP.

It's apparently a not an XP bar but rather supposed to measure your skill compared to other players, but it does an absolutely horrendous job of illustrating that if that's the case.

As far as i read, it does factor in personal play but after a streak of wins/losses you lose/gain much more rank.

I've been getting tips to stop playing after 3 losses in a row, this might have something to do with that.

 

[RespectThySole]

Love beating the enemy Reaper to health packs with D.Va boost and destroying him after. Also, waiting until Zarya uses her shield then using my ult right when it's about to run out is too good.

I want disco Lucio. Make it happen Blizzard.

 

[Odrion]

summer Olympic skins snooooooooooore

an Olympic Stadium map sounds interesting tho

 

[LurkerPrime]

I'm pretty sure skilled players are OP. It just ain't fair to me.

BMX Reaper is hilarious.

Wow, didn't notice him at first. It almost makes too much sense.

Still hate the thought of promotional such uninspired stuff, though. Not every game needs to sell out the way Rocket League did. sell its creative soul for phat microtransaction money.

 

[Antiwhippy]

As mentioned, it's not olympic branded.

 

[Belfast]

Was it a weekend? Because on weekends people with WAAAAY to high mmr who don't play that much come on. Weekdays is already pretty fine with me but the games on weekend can still be absolute garbagefests. I mean, I am only 36comp and just recently I had a team that... grouped. Like in seriously, they grouped up like hell.

Nope, that was earlier tonight.

 

[Belfast]

The new map (mode?) looks like it's going after that Rocket League money.

 

[Dalek]

I can't take this game anymore. That's it-tonight I fucking quit. No other game has made me rage this hard before. I can't take it-it's no good for my health.

 

[Syntax]

Hmm. Okay. Rocket League style map + McCree on a horse = Rocket Horse League?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Is that why they nerfed the basketballs on KotH?

 

[Mush]

5 mics, no one communicates.

OVERWATCH

 

[Papercuts]

Just fought a 278 tracer with golden guns named CyberBullying who literally teabagged like crazy every single time he got a kill.

I have never been so satisfied to repeatedly hook and beat someone.

And your problem is?

 

[duckroll]

And your problem is?

Probably losing. Maybe a Hanzo on his team. Maybe two.

 

[Squire]

Solo queueing is a path to misery. Friends are about as key a requirement to play this as a decent internet connection is.

 

[Azoor]

Probably losing. Maybe a Hanzo on his team. Maybe two.

OR maybe *gasp* A HANZO STACK !

 

[ekim]

Duh... I thought we are in the dedicated Olympics Skins thread. Sorry ^^

 

[Ayumi]

Why does Widow have two stickers? And why are they (technically) of two different sports?

 

[Mush]

2 games into solo queue comp and I'm ready to hang myself.

 

[maouvin]

BMX Reaper is hilarious.

Blizzard is just testing the waters for 90's Reaper

 

[duckroll]

Foreshadowing the post-update future where everyone on your team starts stacking Widow even though they can't shoot for shit.

 

[go_straight]

man, the only good thing regarding these new skins is Tracer's tummy.

Celebrate Overwatch’s inaugural Summer Games with special Summer Games Loot Boxes—available for a limited time*!

Each contains four items, at least one of which is guaranteed to be a Summer Games skin, spray, highlight intro, emote, victory pose, player icon, or voice line. There are more than 90 Summer Games items to collect—they’re are not available for purchase with in-game credits, so Loot Boxes are the only way to claim them.

If your Summer Games Loot Box contains an item that is already in your collection, you will instead receive credits, which can only be used to unlock non–Summer Games items.

*Summer Games Loot Boxes are available to purchase or earn in-game until 8/22/16 at 11:59pm PT.

Yeah. He might be thinking that Symmetra is Widow?

Don't want anything I've seen so far but dammit if I see something I do like when it's officially revealed.

Real money purchase only! /shakes fist angrily at sky

 

[Nyx]

Found this:

That sucks...

 

[Ertai]

I think they are just added to the normal loot in the lootboxes. Buying the special lootboxes guarantees you to at least 1 summer item whereas regular lootboxes have a much smaller chance

 

[go_straight]

Blizzard is finally showing its true nature.

They're seriously not allowing us to buy any of it with the currency we have saved up right now? Come on Blizzard..

 

[Mr. Robot]

I really want those skins... but screw that, ill probably get sprays and icons if i bite.
I just hope that they come on regular loot boxes too but the olympic ones are just an easy way to get them.
