Probably earned my last box from this event, well I may be able to squeeze another in tomorrow but I'm just going to splash my credits on handsome Zenny now before I forget to.
Decent loot for me across the board, especially after the Christmas event dicked me over.
Nabbed both Mei skins, Winston, Tracer and Bastion skins from boxes alone.
Also finished this day off with two good Tracer runs in mystery heroes, after playing like trash yesterday I'm much happier ending things on a high here.

Bad haul this event for earned skins but I can't complain because I got skins for the two characters I had no skins for, Junkrat and DVA.

I can't pick what to buy between Hot Zenyatta or Pigsy Roadhog.
Already got Monkey Winston so I'm happy there and I got Mei's super pretty outfit (though the white/purple one and not the red). I play more Roadhog and am better with him and I like the costume but Sanzang Zenyatta looks so good.
And knowing my luck I'll buy one of them, play a little tomorrow before the event finishes and get a final box and inside will be the one I just bought...

If you have Junkenstein Roadhog, imo get Zen's skin. Junkenstein Roadhog is the best.
Is there s ban/suspended bug going around or something? Yesterday while I was playing the game just stopped toward the end of a match and I got booted out and wasn't able to long back on to the server( I'm on Xbox). Now when I turn it on competitive just says " unable to play while suspended or banned" and there's no clock or anything. Is this supposed to be permanent or something
Also I'm not a chronic quitter btw

There's either a bug or you got smacked upside the head with a ban for cheating. Either way, I'm curious to hear what happens next.

I also got the pig hog skin, at first I though I liked it, but after a bit it ended up grossing me out. Everytime I saw hog in hero selection screen I pictured my own face inside a dead pig head and freaked out for a bit. Eventually I switched it to a shark skin which weirdly enough doesnt bother me at all.
I don't even know how you would cheat on a console. I guess I send them an email. No idea how any of this worksThere's either a bug or you got smacked upside the head with a ban for cheating. Either way, I'm curious to hear what happens next.

I just rock the Christmas skin for Hog.
I agree, though. I'll never use the Pig skin for the same reason I'll never use the Frankenstein skin. Gross. D:Ditto I'd be happy to review some vods with the heroes I play.
Tracer, Mccree, Sombra, Soldier, Ana. I guess my pool is pretty limited lol.
An hour after my bad Volk loss with a single attack Mercy as our healer i played another comp game and it was Volk again with another single Mercy, but this time a battle mercy.
Why is this a thing that is happening to me? Is it because Blizzard knows i like Mercy so they want to crush me with bad Mercy teammate losses until i admit defeat and main Lucio? No one wants that fate. This is like that time i had a torb on my team and we did terribly and it made me question if i'm that Torb in other games. No, i'm a good Torb...

Everyone wants to be a Mercy but no one wants to be a Mercy.
It's like all of a sudden there are Mercy players everywhere... and none of them know when to use Mercy.
Comp match starts, me (Ana) and the other healer (Mercy) mention that there is no one to sit with Rein and protect flanks/backs. Match goes on turns out we need a Pharah counter as well as a DPS to sit with Rein because not only are we getting picked from side but also top...meaning Soldier/McCree. Instead we get a shitty Tracer and another Pharah who can't hit the enemy Pharah, nor do they take care of our flanks/backs since they are busy getting hammered at the front line, so I have to take care of Pharah as Ana on my own instead while also trying to heal and check flanks. Match finishes everyone blames the poor Mercy, I tell them it's their fault for not protecting the flanks and he says "Don't play healer if you can't protect yourself" ...lolwut?
The reason I hate this game's competitive mode so much is that I can tell if we are going to win or lose the match within the first minute of a round starting depending on how the players behave and play. And it's heartbreaking to almost always find myself on a team where no one likes to switch to a team composition that has more synergy even after failing for 2 minutes straight. I'll take a 1000 Hanzos that protect flanks and do their job over useless DPS that can't protect flanks and get countered when they try to attack enemy.

It's so different like day and night after learning a few days ago that Lucio's speed boost was such an important tool, on that first free weekend I fell in love with his play style and the character itself but I thought he was more of an aoe healer so I never really used speed, how wrong I was.
One problem I currently have is that I never know which hero to use after playing mystery heroes non stop.

I thought long and hard and decided on Pigsy Roadhog. I was looking at my stats and even though I want to get better with Zen I just suck and even though I'm kind of bored with bird face I think Roadhog becoming his true self is worth it more, especially as I play and enjoy Hog more than Zen.
Still though. Hot Zen looks so good. Next year. Next year I shall have you!

Nutcracker Zenyatta is best Zenyatta.
Anywho, I'm at 2450. I just want to get to Platinum before the end of the month.
Despite all the shit I have to deal with (the Zenyatta & Lucio panels describe my existence as a Lucio/Zen main perfectly), I still like playing Support. It's fun and extremely rewarding in Overwatch. That's how Blizzard designed them to be like.

Same. Finding someone to duo with, even using GAF, is really hard.

I don't get particularly angry, but the weekend kiddos really get me going. If I met some of these people in real life... we wouldn't have an issue because they probably wouldn't have anything to say face-to-face.
Especially when people are on at different times, or they just want to mess around in Mystery Heroes or Quick Play. For example, Blu hates the current season (he thought it was a shit storm), and he might play Season 4.
It's also weird that I have seen players playing the PS4 version, when I thought it would've been much more balanced.

So when is the end of Season 3, anyways?
Given Blizzard's historical preference for applying patches to the game on a Tuesday, people are speculating Season 3 will end on February 21st.
I'm about to spend 6750 and be broke
I didn't spent a cent and got everything I wanted from the event (all Epics and Mei's two Legendary skins), with the exception of Reinhardt, Roadhog, Zenyatta, and Winston's Journey to the West cosmetics.

So does Season 3 end in a couple days or next week?
I don't think they've set a date yet, but I doubt they wouldn't give at least a weeks notice
Yes, you do. I was able to use my combined purple currency to get Zarya's golden weapon for Season 2.
I bit the bullet and picked up the handsome Zen skin.
I feel like I've heard this exact story on GAF before, including similar phrasing from the other people.

If its one thing I've noticed practicing my Tracer game in QP, its that she barely needs healing (unless the player is an idiot and doesn't grab health packs constantly when needed). I think one slow match gave me a self-heal card thanks to just under 1.2k healing from Recalls.
Its such a contrast from playing Zarya and Rein. Heals can make or break how well I go playing the tanks but if I get any healing while I'm playing as Tracer I think to myself, "Thanks, buddy. I didn't need it but I won't say no".
The only time I'll manually ask for healing is when we have a Torb and he's being a stinge with the armour kits.
Yeah, you shouldn't need many heals, but you need to know where health packs are
I'm ready for Season 4. Practicing a ton in QP and Arcade recently. I'm proficient with 10 heroes now. People can instalock whoever. I can deal with it.
The RNG has treated me way worse in this event. On Olympics, Halloween and Christmas events i managed to get most of the stuff I wanted with just the regular drops.
In this one I've barely got anything, a couple of emotes/highlight intros here and there, and one single skin for Winston.

That's this game in a nutshell. A whole lot of internet tough guys.
They definitely changed the drop rate to encourage people to purchase boxes.
