There's no skill required to get lootboxes. Just play enough. You said earlier that you're level 50ish. You're not supposed to get the loot you want at that point.
That's like saying, you want the best gear in a MMORPG regardless of your involvement with it.

Honestly I am getting like 1/3 matches where our comp is decent and rest are troll picks all night long. This game just makes my life worse.
If you look at Sombra by her self as a DPS then maybe you're right. But in the larger scheme of things, she goes from meh to devastatingly strong if the team are synergising well. Few things can stop EMP hack + D.Va's Self Destruct or Rein's Earth Shatter. Not to mention she is a contender for fastest ult charge in the game along with Hanzo with her health pack hacking.
I don't think she will ever be that popular in solo Q comp because she relies on good teammates to work with her, but Blizz gotta be careful with her buffs for pro tournaments because she can easily be considered broken in the right teams.

I love Mystery Heroes, but I'll admit I'm pretty burnt out on King's Row and Hanamura after these last two weeks. They should get rid of hero stacking in this mode though, or at least make it much more rare.

When is the reset?
the problem with requiring wins in arcade mode is that everyone thinks of it as the 'ima just fuck around' mode. Meanwhile Quick Play is often even more tryhard than Competitive. What the hell is going on.
I play with two friends 99% of the time. One of them only plays Ana and all he does is troll and try to shoot-sleep-grenade-shoot combo people. If he heals you it's by accident (I try to jump in front of his bullets while he's killing people). He also nanoboosts Lucio half of the time because it's funny. We got dumped down to 1800 and I dragged us back to almost 2600. I hate taking this game so seriously but fuck me I want a gold weapon.

At below 2400 I would've dumped that friend hard. You need to let that BS player go man.
Lost my SSD yesterday so didn't play much at all outside of mystery heroes. People getting salty about team comps in all random make me laugh way more than it should.

Left the game 2-3 months ago because I played way too much, and I'm just now experiencing arcade mode. Holy shit this is some of the least fun I've ever had playing a video game. Its actively unfun. I'm trying to see how anyone could prefer these modes over quick play or competitive and its just beyond me. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Sad thing is, the best mode "All Brawls" is currently unavailable because of "Mei's Snowball Offensive", ugh.

Had a quick Winter Mystery game this morning. Ended up on Hanamura and point B was being camped by 2 widowmakers, a Hanzo, and healed up by anna. We just weren't making any progress. I finally get Symetra so I go invis and teleport behind them to take them out. It was so satisfying.
Edit: Turns out I was able to make a clip. Here's my terrible game play.

How do u go invisible as Symmetra? 😐
Had 3 D.Vas in my team on Hanamura attack. That's one way to win. 😂
I still don't know how to switch Symmetra's ult. It doesn't say it ANYWHERE in-game. I read that you did it by pressing Q before her ult was charged but that doesn't work.
I don't play this game if my friends aren't. I'll put a match or two in here and there solo but 90% of my time is with them. Also I've been playing stuff with these two in particular for 17-18 years so it's not like I didn't know he was a jackass.
The funny thing is he's one of the most skilled players I know of, but Overwatch is his for fun game whereas CS is his serious game. I wish he'd go back to being the god of McCrees but eh whatever.

Are Blizzard employees still on holiday vacation and that's why the event is still going on?
You have to press Q twice while you're at 100%.

Oh, crap! You're right. I actually forgot her name. Here's what happened, I don't know why I always call her Symetra.
Edit: SOMBRA! That's her name.
Yeah Shadowplay is really glitchy with Overwatch. Whenever I activate it, it rebinds a bunch of my keys. Like I press enter and it changes the game into window mode lol.
I am still raging from that. It was so beautiful damnit.
Is there a chart of who is best versus who, like a megaman chart? I see posts in here about people making troll picks or whatever, but there's people like me who don't really know the matchups well.
Granted I'm still not 25 so it's not in competitive, but I'd like to learn so I don't be a bad team member. Or, I'll at least pick the right people. I can't pretend to play well still.

I set up MSI Afterburner to pre-record, similar to shadow play.
It's really slick and I don't have to install any superfluous software from Nvidia.
Once it's charged up, pressing q the first time makes her hold her teleporter like it's getting ready to be placed. Pressing q a second time switches the teleporter waiting to be placed to the shield generator waiting to get placed.

Well what heroes do you play? We can tell you what you're strong/weak against so you know when to pick them. The graphs and stuff are always out of date because of patches.
That guide is quite sketchy. It says Genji counters McCree lol.
That only shows 3 counters max and some of them are questionable.
Some of you mei like this montage.
U just need to press alt + z again for the HUD to reappear.

Some of oversumo's tips and counters are either hilariously outdated or just plain wrong

Yes. Brawl is crap. 3v3 is literally ruined by Hog and Ana and Mystery Heroes is happening on 2 shitty maps and it depends on "luck". Also it's always a plus to be on defense.

The most enjoyable one for me was mystery 6v6, and even then i'd get 0 tanks on offense, or 3 mercys on defense and just lose due to chance. These are all just bad. I'm sure there are people that find enjoyment here, but I am certain after like an hour of trying all the modes that I will never venture back into arcade again.
Can people see ur E if u throw it while being invisible?

9 wins done in arcade mode suprisingly fast, so many funny games, going to miss winter mystery
In my last game we got 3 syms on hanamura defense, the other team couldn't do much lol
Another funny thing, picked Torb in the character selection screen, the game gave me Torb, I didn't die during the whole game and got the POTG. Two times xD

Maybe not a buff to Winston but some changes.
If he did even just a smidge more damage or if his shield had either more health or a faster cool down he would be perfect. Any of those three.
As he stands right now he feels a bit too situational. I'm biased because I love playing him, but it is pretty obvious that Winston was balanced around having duplicate heroes.

I would like mystery heroes better if not for the 9 wins thing. They should give some boxes for just playing X games in arcade mode and maybe some from winning in Quick Play.
As it is, 3v3 is usually my best chance for wins. But even that can get frustrating when I get troll teammates against ana/roadhog/soldier every time.
