Even at the 2000-2100 ranges it's going to be soldier.
More specifically, the soldier I nanoboosted.

With several people data-mining from the recent patch (including a nice Christmas rendition of the Overwatch theme), it was shown that Torb is going to have one event skin, emote, and voice line, and with some artwork showing him as Santa Claus from a recent twitter post. So, yeah, a Christmas-themed event is coming to Overwatch. We just don't know when.

I'm just excited to finally have a new mei skin.
Mei's highlight intro is still the best thing from the halloween event though so I ain't too mad.

Snowball makes a cute ghost. I think what I love the most about that highlight intro, is her annoyed expression. It's fickin' cute.

Ugh. I'm still doing placement, but I seem to have done so poorly last season that I'm in the range where my teammates think a full-round of defense with Bastion is a good idea.
Kill meeeee.

Cool
I was aware of an event but hadn't kept up with what skins were confirmed
Thanks!
My pleasure. I hope D.Va get's a toy shop elf costume, complete with her MEKA being redesigned to resemble a sleigh or old school toy robot. I know she already got her Epic skin from the Summer Games event, but gosh darn it, her dressing up as an elf is too cute of an idea to pass up.

So I think there's still a lot of merit to Mercy, even if Ana's a lot better. She really needs to be positioned well, out of sight of the enemy as much as possible, not in the midst of team fights so she doesn't get caught in enemy ults. A lot of them stay out in the open, so of course they die.
It helps for her to have decent aim to defend against flankers. She needs the headshots.
Sadly, she's still very team dependent, can't rez well if the team's spread apart when they all die, and then die anyways because they suck.
In spite of all this, I been doing ok with her. If the team is decent and can stay together, I can keep them alive, even as a solo healer.

Anyone know what the 300mb PTR update is?
Edit: Nothing is immediately obvious to me so it might just be balances/fixes like Roadhog's hook.

So far in placement, a lousy 3-4-1. Curious to see where I end up.

I'm 5-6-3 in S3 so far after consistently being >50% in other modes and seasons. I guess I'll climb sharply at some point, but this is lame. I'm gonna start instalocking Soldier because I win when I play him and lose when someone else does.
This meta feels bad. I'm sick of fighting D.Va.

I wish I can play soldier to the point where I can take the DPS spot from all these really bad soldiers, but I'm also a somewhat bad soldier myself and that's my limitation.
Also I just like playing other characters more.

Is there anything better than sleeping a mercy who's about to fly in for rez?

I started playing ranked today for the first time and it's pretty much as abusive in chat as I expected, which is a shame because jeez it's a lot faster and harder and more fun than QP! I've played 4, lost 4 so far, but I've managed to get 3-4 gold medals in all four games so I figure that's probably okay... I don't really know, I don't really mind tbh.
I play D.Va pretty much 100% so far since she's who I used in QP to get to 25 the most. I don't really know what I'm doing but in the main I use her to soak up damage with her shields, and basically bully and harrass with her boosters and high HP. Getting behind a Rein shield for example and disrupt a team that's tightly grouped up, cause a bit of chaos, get back out fast. Also chasing down healers and/or DPS, taking out snipers and that fucking flying lady. Does that sound about right? I think I'm doing OK and it feels pretty good but I dunno really about the team game too much yet. I try and block peoples Ults as much as possible too, but that's a newer tactic I'm just getting the hang of.

And the people are so toxic about it, even at diamond/platinum levels. People need to stop pretending like they are gods gift to overwatch competitive gaming and like they never made a mistake the whole match

I'm in Gold right now and we just had a three-way argument that lasted through 5 out of 6 rounds on Volskaya .-. I don't know how we managed to tie it 5-5 when half our team was calling each other shit.
The next game I got this though, which is probably the best I've ever done as Reinhardt.

PLAT GET.
My last match was with 5 plats and they threatened to throw to keep me gold lol.
Only 50 away from my season 2 peak, I can break through.
Gonna take a break for tonight though, too nervous.

Soldier and DVa.
Quite a number also very clearly have never these 2 heroes all that much before this season.

Loved her changes in PTR.
I can't wait having 6 sentries at the start. No more stress of running to the start.

Soldier is my instalock. Last season I was mainly tank (Hog/Rein) and support (Ana/Lucio) but Soldier is straight STUPID right now and not having him on your team is such a mistake with how good he is atm.
I feel kind of bad since normally I don't wanna be that guy who instalocks DPS but I'd rather pick him and hopefully push people not to waste the slot on a Mccree/ Reaper duo or something which won't be as useful. Also feel like I'm doing pretty ok as him so far, 66% win rate, 3.6 kd, 43% acc, nearly 2k average damage, etc after almost 3 hours.

Uh, 2K average damage is pretty low?
Unless you mean 20K.
I have 11K average damage on mei so far which puts me at top 3% on overbuff, which seems like a weirdly low number to be ranked that high up.

I don't think mei is supposed to be doing that much damage seeing as she should be freezing then killing people
like her icicle is obvs good at a distance cus it does a nice amount of damage but her freeze blaster doesn't seem to do that much & she tends to kill most people that get frozen, thus preventing her from doing more damage.

Mmmm i guess, though i need to learn how to farm better. More dmg means more blizzards.
Shit, that sucks for me since I'm only good with D.Va and decent with Soldier. I didn't even have to instalock her in S2 because no one cared for her.
