If there is a Halloween event, it will be for Reaper, Junkrat, Widow, and Roadhog.

Widow will have a spider costume.
Junkrat will have a pumpkin head.
Reaper might get a costume of one of the four horsemen, maybe?
Roadhog.....I don't know.

Actually, the four horsemen thing makes sense. His default would be Death, he has a Plague skin, maybe he'd get a skin based on War? That could be cool.

I really hope the next events allow you to purchase the skins for gold. If they change that I may actually buy some lootboxes...

I doubt it, they also said you can get special event skins only at those events.

They want you to look forward to it every year and keep it special, so not everyone runs around with it.


Welp.

Roadhog pumpkin tattoo on his stomach with a theme of some adult going trick or treating and stealing candy from kids. Some kind of gotcha hand with candy on it for his hook. At least that's what I picture.

(And make way more money in the process) I won't buy a single lootbox if they keep it like that. Still love the game, just disappointed.

I want a evil Mei for Halloween.

"I'm.... NOT sorry. Bwahaha."

edit: the McCree ult nerf is unfortunate, because there was value in using it to zone out the other team and keeping the 50%. So there's less versatility now.

when do they go all in with the Blizzard universe skins?

Mercy = Queen of Blades
Reaper = Malthael
Rein = Arthas (or some of the prominent paladins, i am forgetting them now, been too long)
 
Would love some goofy skins for the more serious characters. Soldier dressed up like a clown, Reaper dressed up like a luchador would be aboslutely incredible.

Well, this already exists in HOTS:

Which bears the question: WHY IS ZARYA'S ONLY GOOD SKIN NOT IN OVERWATCH
 
Now hat I think about it more, I like the idea of adding 4 Legendary Halloween skins based on the four horsemen.

Reaper=Death(duh)
Roadhog=War
Widow=Famine
Junkrat=Conquest

I think the Widow and Junk ones could be swapped, but death and war fit hog and reaper. I want them.

Are you talking about the PTR? if yes most people are there to test stuff.

And if you talk about quick play, yeah well nobody gives a shit anymore in this mode and you shouldn't either.

It's like practice mode now.
 
Damn QP is a total mess now lol. People just trolling with Symmetra teleports etc.

Anyone on PS4 playing?

Hmm really? Yesterday, I must have played like 10 games and almost none had any gimmick teams or multiple dupes. In fact, we barely had anyone leave during that whole session. Was a pretty decent day as far as team comps went.

Yeah it seems like with 6 seconds, you have to be Shadder good to get more than 3 kills, unless the entire enemy team is standing right next to each other and you hit multiple people with every strike, 4 kills seems impossible for Genji, especially on console. Bring back triple jump and combo and I'll be happy though.

That would make his ULT consistent with everyone else no? The most efficient use of anyone's ult is to use when they're all grouped up together...

He definitely doesn't need his triple jump back, he already has 2 passive abilities, already more than anyone else in the cast. It was meant to help out newer players use genji, but total abuse with anyone who is decent/mains him. I agree his combo can definitely stay, he doesn't do much damage, and it was more of a finishing blow more than anything.

Basically RIP platinum trophy dream

He's on console so not PTR. Altho I wouldn't take PTR seriously either if I played it since nothing carries over.

Anyone have a picture of Pharah's Raptorian skin with the golden weapon? I'm thinking of maybe spending my saved up coins and end of season rewards on that and would appreciate getting a preview.

I think I'm mostly frustrated because I'm in the 97th percentile of all D.Va's on PS4 and I'm trying to get myself a numbered rank, and I can't do that if I'm not winning

Now how can rein's shield stay unbroken even with that many bastions? This unrealistic approach really takes me out of it.

I know you're joking, but the shorts do take a lot of liberties from the games mechanics. I mean, Reaper doesn't have a grenade launcher, now does he?

Got caught in the trap of just playing the heroes I am most successful with in competitive, which was pretty much just Zen, D.Va and Genji. Gonna use this quick play opportunity to reacquaint myself with my true favourite; Mei. Mwuahahahaha.

By the way what's in the ps4 patch I'm downloading now???
 
When you get those randoms that are just so good.
👌👌👌👌👌

Came in as a backfil.
Another player joins as backfill.

I pick Genji
He picks Ana

Hold last point on dorado for 5 minutes with the help of Anas ult.

Player knew exact when to use it and i could tell exactly when the player wanted me to get it.

I don't like playing on the PTR, because i just unlocked a new achievement for Hanzo since i didnt play him much on the normal servers. So now i have to do it again...

Also no exp or lootboxes carry over.

I like to see the new emotes and skins and maybe try the hero changes out for a few matches but that's about it.

Oh i see, if that is your goal then yeah it really sucks losing on quick play.
