I just had that with a Reaper who got killed by me as Mercy. Seeked me out first every fight then teabagged. So stupid.

Must be a moonmoon sub.
Why didn't you all just go Rein?Played vs this today, we lost at like last meter.
No.
It's annoying. There really is no need for it.
And more often than not, it gets them killed.

My momma didn't raise no hooligan.
One thing that annoys me lately is when a player throws up the "I need Healing!" emote, then folllows it up with a "Thanks!"
I can see you need healing, and more likely than not I'm already healing you by the time you trigger that or I'm fucking dead cause I was being focused by the enemy team. All you're doing is unfocusing yourself from combat or survival going into that emote wheel and picking things. Being thanked is appreciative, but by the time you select it you're probably already half dead again.
I'm sure this isn't a problem on PC due to hotkeys, but it sure is on console.

I'm practising tracer and people teabag me everytime they kill me. Sometimes multiple people.
Think we're going to get new costumes for each event or just the same ones again? I've been wondering if Blizzard intends to only give each hero a single Legendary Seasonal Skin (excluding recolors). So for example Mercy won't get another Legendary for any other season cause she already had one for Halloween. It seems like something they'd do. But they want lootboxes being popular, so I suppose they will add more with time.
if they want people to spend real $ on loot boxes theyll try to add as many "limited" skins as possible.
Lol. You should try playing Titanfall 2 where people literally powerslide their crotch across your corpse.
It's next level teabagging. Don't even need to worry about losing momentum. You can't stay mad at it.

Well, the only characters who got Halloween skins were ones who didn't get any Summer Games skins. I expect Christmas will see the last few characters still without any event skins receive some. After that, they'll probably still create new skins for future repeat events. There's no way Blizzard are just going to arbitrarily draw a line under the thing that makes them the most money by incentivising lootbox purchases.

I probably won't have time to play again today, so I'm finishing the event with Reinhardt's Halloween emote, all Halloween character intros, and all Halloween skins besides Ana, Bastion, and Pharah's.
I'm content, though I was a bit irritated when I bought 50 lootboxes and got three Junkenstein's Monster skins and three Witch skins. It's complete horseshit that duplicate legendary event skins still only give you 200 coins. if they cost 3000, they should give you 600 for a duplicate.

The traditional dress is the meka.
A Mercy killed me when I was Winston and TBed... At around the start of the match, she was in for a lot of counter TB.
I started doing this because people feel offended by doing this. I like it. I like it even more after 1 vs 1 with pistol Dva.

That seems even more impractical than the cardboard box.

What the FUCK.
I just found out that Blizzard are patching the prestige system, so that the XP required for each level no longer reverts back to the same as level 1, meaning you'll still require the same amount of XP.
They even outright said the reason is because the current system "encouraged some people to stop playing the game altogether once they’re promoted—the goal of this being to save those first 23 levels specifically for seasonal events."
Yeah, no shit Blizzard. I've already paid for about 200 lootboxes since owning the game; god forbid I also want to try and get a few free ones a bit more easily. Of course you don't want people doing that; you want even more fucking lootbox sales. Because charging triple for the legendary skins and yet still only getting 200 coins back for duplicates isn't cheap enough.
Not only does this fuck people over in terms of lootboxes, but now there's going to be an artifical gap between the levels of players who prestiged before this patch and after. As anybody who prestiged prior to it will be about 10 or so levels higher than anybody afterwards with the same amount of XP.
I'm completely done buying lootboxes, and I'm annoyed I didn't know this yesterday before buying some.

Dont buy lootboxes.
Ive found the "strategy" to solo Qing is locking in your main, every single game. In my case, Ive been locking in Mei every single time regardless of other hero picks and regardls of attack and defense.
Ive won over 60%(im 21-9 in my last 30 games) of games since doing this. It´s a bit selfish but if you´re locking in a main that is versatile i.e. Mei, Roadhhog, Soldier etc whatever its not like you're hurting the team and all 3 of those players are just as good on offense and defense and more importantly they can self heal.

First of all this encourages people to stop playing the game, which is unacceptable.
Second, you're still gonna buy loot boxes.
Yea, it's actually pretty silly to punish people who wanna game the system. It doesn't really hurt them but hey, they want your money.

To be fair, they're also reducing the amount of XP per level from 22000 to 20000, so it'll be roughly the same amount per 100 levels, and you'll get boxes slightly faster than before.
So there's that, for whatever it's worth.
I dunno the numbers but I can't imagine a huge percentage of people stopping to play for the level up loot boxes.
