I mean, Mei has to be a snowman(woman), right?
Oh yeah lol. Well I still think Soldier and Torbs are going to get some sort of skin because it thematically works for them.

Yeah, it went off after the first round in Nepal.
You picked Mei to defend Hanamura, don't know if you already saw but Seagull has some really nice videos with her on that map. Always nice to learn new stuff.
Yes pls.

I really hope the damage from Zarya's laser passing by a target stays and isn't just a PTR thing.
It would make my waifu even better.

I changed the settings and I'm trying a quickplay. I feel bad lagging in a comp game when it's my own fault, so I wasn't in a hurry to get it back on.
If everything goes well with the quickplay I'll leave it on and keep going.
I'm noticing a crazy long queue time, so it could be a geographical distance at play at the same time.
That said, I made it to #384.

I'm sure it's staying considering the other downside is that her barrier's dmg taken to dmg buff was nerfed to 80%. Think it's a good change.

To the post you're quoting, they haven't gotten legendaries. I think Torb's size makes him elf fodder.
I'll also take antlers on Rein for the easy Reindeer.
Whoa, this is like her HotS implementation looping back around and informing the character's abilities in her original game. One of her quirks in HotS is that her beam can hit multiple foes if you line it up. Crazy!

Someone asked for some pro Sombra vods awhile ago.
If you still want one, Mendo is the best I saw. https://www.twitch.tv/mendokusaii/v/99770062
He was just doing custom games scrims against a bunch of pro/high level players, so the comps were good and he always got Sombra.
He thinks she's basically just a medkit hacker who waits to build her ult. But he was doing some pretty impressive things.

Isn't Torb too short and even too cheerful in order to be Grinch?
Soldier has a dad dance coming, so he must have a terrible sweater this Christmas. Any other suggestion is objectively wrong.

I'd like for Winston to get an abominable snowman style outfit.
That would be the best option.

Torb. 'GET! ON! THE! POINT!' Cheerful? not to mention his permanent frown.
The only thing that makes torbjorn happy is babes

I need sombra!
That's a dance animation?
well damn... looks like S76 is stomping/kicking some unlucky wounded, imagine if the emotes could inflict some sort of damage, like a 5hp Genji ult sleeping and bm him to death with this.
Surprised Sombra doesnt have a sitting emote
All her emotes are... meh

One thing I notice is that Sombra's ULT is always on hold because of the nature of it. Do you use it? Would the enemy team have used their ults in that fight or not? Then it was a waste if they didn't.
Or you wait for something like Lucio ult and use it for a guaranteed result. I feel that's how her ult is.

I'm 99% sure that Mendo did it yesterday and it worked.
Do we have three GAFfers on PTR, swap ID's, make custom game and test? Wouldn't take long. 2-3 volunteers?
That said, I made it to #384.
Are you playing solo?

EMP breaks shield + applies hack so yes it can. It also hacks healthpack in los.
Hack on it's own though can not used against shields (reindhart/zarya, etc)

I think they took mechanics of Mercy's staff and put them to Hack 1:1. It has same range and once locked on and casting it tracks even through walls for a moment, resulting you getting hacked after breaking LOS.

Junkrat would make a good grinch.
Omg huge win streak today, just 2 wins away from diamond potentially
Sadly Junkrat already gotten Halloween legendary skins. They probably wouldn't give him Christmas ones.
But does it break the Rein shield and that's it, or does it bypass it completely and hacks everyone behind it?

If that Pharah buff hits console. Whew.
Better hope Soldier becomes a mainstay, because she'll be insane if no one stops her.

They practiced at what they thought it was going to be set at if blizzard didn't give them a heads up. The change can make a difference.
People get pissed if you pick Soldier, but I still feel he's the easiest on console to lay out constant, consistent damage.

It's just hard for him to finish anything off, which is a big deal in the Ana meta. But he's definitely better on console, and will be top tier if the buffs go through.
He can do constant and steady damage, but isn't very good at burst damage. Current meta is very much about being able to deliver high volume of burst damage [e.g. nanoed reaper blossom into regular fire]. Popping rockets once in a while isn't cutting it hence people being tad cold towards Soldier.

How I see it if you're not a good shot with mccree, picking soldier is your best option. Still able to lay down tons of damage and be productive. A bad soldier can at least hit something compared to a bad mccree
While this will probably not happen, it would be smashing if we could get a colour editor and we could create two custom colour alt. skins for each hero. I really want to create this colour swap for D.Va:
I still don't see many Ana's on console, good ones anyways.
I don't know if you're PC or console, but I feel like some kids who pick McCree or Hanzo then hit 30% of their shots would be a much bigger help to their team as Soldier. I just see these long stretches in fights sometimes where the enemy loses none of their health, or I'll get multiple people to like 5-10% and no one can finish them off.

PS4.
Theres an Ana in nearly everyone of my games.
If my team dont pick one o end playing ana so :x

I love Eva as much as the next person, but this remains the tackiest thing ever.
I'm PC. You rarely see Soldiers in ranked these days. Mostly Cree's, some random HanzoWidowmaker instalocker.
Health pack control is going to be interesting for sure. Not having them pushing forward as the attacker is really tough unless you have good healers and even then your flankers will have a lot harder time staying alive.
I had a hard time adjusting last night. I'd always go to a health pack and find it hacked and then die lol
