I really wonder what's their plan for weapon skins. That menu feels really lonely with the default and golden weapons. There's a lot of room to fill

For weapons this is where I want them to pull some crazy ideas. Personally I'd like them to throw a surprise and have demonic looking weapons come along. Or some joke weapons like toys.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

They better let us buy skins this time if all those from the comic will be added. I only want the Junkrat and Roadhog skins and getting them by luck seems almost impossible with such a large pool.

 

[Blues1990]

I've darted the Mercy flying with a Pharah.

Does that count?

I remember darting Pharah (that had a pocket Mercy) and she'd fallen into a pit. Since Mercy didn't have another teammate to fly to, that player had made a slow decent to their death.

Made it as my POTG, come to think of it.

This is a nice detail.

Man, does Mercy ever age? And, yes, Torb is holding onto that angelic booty.

 

[spindashing]

Why not witch Sym, instead of witch Mercy?

Excuse you, the world NEEDS witch Mercy

 

[KiraFA37]

Excuse you, the world NEEDS witch Mercy

The world could always use more witches, you know.

 

[I-hate-u]

Excuse you, the world NEEDS witch Mercy

Both are F tier support heroes anyway.

 

[aeolist]

The main thing I want to do with Ana is sleep dart a flying Pharah.

Then I will truly be a pro Ana.

i did this once just as she was boosting and her sleeping body went flying straight at my team

that was a very sad pharah

I mean, legendary skins technically bring in their own weapon skins.

Although I really hope they add something else to buy with comp points because golden guns ain't gonna last much longer I think.

I'm curious to hear what Mercy's voice lines are when she equips that skin. Her ultimate line, especially.

Lies...terrible lies.

Where is he touching

Torbjorn with that hover hand.

What a chump.

 

[Prelude.]

Is it hovering, though? She's arching her back.

Welp. I'm back below 1400 again.

Aren't you using the wrong heroes if you plan to go up? Your top comp&qp heroes are Torbjorn, Junkrat and D.Va. You clearly like them but they're not exactly the most game-changing characters, you can't reliably secure kills, and 2 of them can actually work against your team because of the free Zarya charge you're giving, D.Va is also not exceptionally good at anything other than maybe stalling. I'd recommend widening your characters pool.

 

[Azoor]

I wonder how Sombra will fit into all of this.

 

[Salarians]

I love that these two are friends

...even though they currently have no interactions

Amputee jokes

real nice.

 

[Azoor]

Yeah, I think they should add more dialog that includes them. They added few last patch.

My boy Torbjorn is grabbing a little low there. Gettem, tiger.

It's true brehs.

Edit: Whoops. Mercy is D tier, not F in the latest Meta report.

She's actually back to F in the latest meta report. Looks like you don't really keep up very much ;p

I've been around fighting games for far too long to ever care about tier lists.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I hope she has some kind of mobility movement

 

[KiraFA37]

Nah he insulted Mercy, go attack!

This isn't a fighting game. Guess we're about to have this discussion for the, what. 5th time in this thread?

I hope she has some kind of mobility movement

 

[aeolist]

as far as the pro meta goes i don't think the ana nerf will do anything to her tier placement. her heals are still amazing especially with the jarate buff (which by itself will make zen even worse).

 

[DevilDog]

Man, does Mercy ever age?

No, she has her own tech which keeps her young. And alive.

 

[I-hate-u]

Darn. I watched the Open and knew that list didn't seem right. Didn't remember there was a meta report just last week.

I've been around fighting games for far too long to ever care about tier lists.

How do you feel about loving a character that is the most shady of all the cast?

 

[Azoor]

No, she has her own tech which keeps her young. And alive.

Considering that she is a doctor and good one according to the lore, that wouldn't be far off.

 

[Danj]

It's true brehs.

Most of my favourite heroes are F tier I guess that's why I'm sucking then?

I tried being Soldier when someone told me to change out of Junkrat in a match today. We lost.

EDIT: oh wait, Soldier is F tier too

If you're playing exclusively F-tier heroes in competitive, that might be a problem, yes. While none of us are pros or play at that level, most of the F-tier heroes are there for a reason, and it's mostly that they lack consistent utility and/or are outclassed by other similar but better heroes.

 

[DevilDog]

She heals herself in game. Anyone who auto heals like that means that they won't age since their cells won't die.

End of Halloween event date leaked on Xbox, looks like it ends Nov 1.

Okay. Are there any special ways to practice playing Reaper? (e.g. custom games with special settings like there are for practicing headshots and stuff)

Does that mean Lucio also won't age because of his tech ?

 

[aeolist]

mei is definitely higher tier as of now though, she got played a lot in the ow open

One of the best ways to counter nano boosted targets.

If he had it on all the time like mercy, probably, yes.

 

[Data West]

Everyone knows Mercy is an egotistical asshole anyways

 

[Nimby]

Those tiers aren't really ranking ability in any way. Just usage. Mercy/Soldier/Pharah aren't F Tier ability wise. All are perfectly capable they just get outclassed at the highest level of play.

 

[Chance]

If he had it on all the time like mercy, probably, yes.

But because of unnatural aging by amping all those speed boosts, he has the bones of an eighty year old. This is why Lucio heavily endorses milk products, and explains those robo-braces on his legs.

The entire Overwatch community thinks they're Grandmaster level tho

Lol no. You just run around close range wrecking everyone. Keep holding that left click until you're back in platinum.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Probably a dumb question, but if I am earning loot boxes now, can I open them as Halloween boxes when/if the event starts?

I assume the answer is no...

Nope. They generate as soon as you earn them.

Even then, the meta reports only apply to the last week or so.

She won't.

 

[Data West]

I've been playing a lot of TF2 again while I wait for the Halloween event.

There are definitely some 'gameplay feels' that feel better in TF2 than OW despite OW being a newer gmae. Particularly, Demo's grenade launcher and Soldier's rocket launcher. And the Engineer not being instantly countered by a trash bag if he gets set up

 

[Blues1990]

No, she has her own tech which keeps her young. And alive.

I know that Mei and Mercy have their personal exchanges about being forever young, but I'm surprised that none of the other heroes mentioned how unsettling it is that Mercy is basically immortal.

She's actually back to F in the latest meta report. Looks like you don't really keep up very much ;p

You'd think Soldier 76 would be in the C-Tier, given that he's pretty well-rounded.

aren't you on PC? Meh @ Reaper, I would try to git gud w/ Zen, Roadhog, or McCree tbh!
